    A dofo you are very irritating my friend. You stay in London and spew all this nonsense, why don't you move back home and rebuild Kumawu.You cannot do anything to change the status quo. Just move back and help.

  • OKATAKYIE 9 years ago

    Otumfo Osei Tutu followed Asanti customs. I see no imposition on the part of Asantehene. He is very thoughtful king. Asantis deliberations in Asantehene palace is very democratic than what we see in our parliament.
