    90% Of Kufuor' administration was made up Ashantis! And they stole everything from bungalows to lands meant for roads and ministries.. Please don't upset yourself by remembering the rot in Ghana@50. Even Kufuor bribed his ow ...

    Take extra care as these bunch of dyed-in-the-wool bigots will want to demand your flesh just for writing truth about their facade posturing of the PORCUPINE.

  • francis kwarteng 9 years ago

    Dear Brother,

    Don't mind them. I can contain all of them.

    The fact is, the "true" histories regarding the evils our pre-colonial elders did are all there, well archived, but not taught or mentioned in public because of ...

    Readers who gives? Brother, the longer you keep talking, the more you keep exposing yourself as a trokosi wannabe Asante.

  • francis kwarteng 9 years ago

    Dear 123,

    Don't worry.

    I am having great fun on Ghanaweb. And readers likes yoys (note my two other errors again. Oops! I should have written "readers like you") are keeping me company.

    You call your bigotry stubborn but as a Psychiatrist, I can tell you that you have mental problems and a need to be accepted and appreciated.

    Schedule an appointment with a Professional to prescribe a medication for you.

    Part 2 is already on arrival? Bad grammar.

  • NAKED 10 years ago

    Afrikans never sees to amaze me always fusing and fighting.

  • francis kwarteng 10 years ago

    Hello NAKED,

    This has nothing to do with Africans fighting each other.

    It is merely a political satire. And it has nothing to do with any ethnic group fighting another ethnic group!

    How many times do I have to say ...

    You wrote that Yaw Boakye was your uncle and you are from Aduman in Ashanti region. Tell me how you get to Aduman from Kejetia and history of Aduman secondary school.

  • francis kwarteng 9 years ago

    Dear Otuo,

    That is homework for you!

    Thanks.

  • Otuo 9 years ago

    I knew you are a trokosi fake because you don't even know where Aduman is. Don't be a coward, be proud to say you are Ewe and a bigot illiterate one to boot.

    He claims to be against bigotry but when Andy K wrote his bigoted article trashing Asantes, Kwarteng who professes to be Asante was high-fiving that bigoted Ewe, can you believe that?

  • C.Y. ANDY-K 9 years ago

    My fren, Francis has said who and what he is, so what else do you want to know?

    I did not write any bigoted article about Asantes. I wrote about a segment of Akans I branded "these Akans", with a stress on "these", and the ...

    I am still waiting for your informative articles, which should obviously put the Ghanaweb Boko Haram Scholars to shame.

    You see you need to read carefully to get the nuances " these Akans" refers to the KKK branch of Akanism . it is not every white who is a racist

  • Kojo T 9 years ago

    You miss his point Nkumaism is a philosophy that embodies African Values. he talks about it and you got to go beyond the surface . Sometimes I think he uses allegory

  • Bernard 9 years ago

    Naked, you failed/refused to stop Okoampah Ahoofe in the first place. Now, you belatedly tried to stop Francis Kwarteng's reaction to the ethnocentric writings by people such as Ahoofe, Akadu, Sarpong, Adofo etc. Too late.

  • francis kwarteng 10 years ago

    Why do you not focus on the article and its contents instead of trying to prove Francis is Ewe By the trokosi is NOT a tribe but a religion. As you correct his grammar you expose your bigotry and ignorance as well

    Hello HON SAM,

    Your Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe is as unpopular as his JB Danquah. I can agree he's the only PhD on Ghanaweb.

    Besides, neither he nor JB Danquah are known outside Ghanaweb. Ask any respected Ghanaian scholar. ...
