    There we go again with these primitive people who are never open to any understanding or make any attempts to solve problems. How can suck backwards people deserve free trucks?

    Everybody is complaining bitterly but very few dare speak the truth . We shall never move forward until the undeclared war against the Akans, discrimination of the majority and anti Akan propaganda hate agenda is resolved. On ...

    IF THESE GUYS FIGHT WE WILL EXPEL THEM FROM KUMASI. ASTER ALL NO ASHANTI CAN HAVE A RIGHT IN MAMPRUSI AREA........

    Too many Ashantis living in the north, just that they don't agree to having Ashanti chiefs. As far as my father and my uncles told me, the Mamprusi chief of Accra was the representative of the northerners; he was given the po ...

    Chieftaincy disputes are the roots of all problems in Ghana. I know calling for its abolition will not sit well with some people. But why should a Mamprusi sub-chief in Kumasi enskin a Builsa sub-chief, when there is nothing ...

    Life is like a dinosaur. Relevant things continue to progress and transform. Irrelevant things die and are extinct with the passage of time. The chieftaincy institution has two options; either to self-reform and be relevant o ...

    Check the facts, Builsa always elect their chiefs they just don't hand pick anybody to be a chief. That Karim who claims to be eskinned by the Mamprusi chief,his late father was elected. His late father contested with Mallam ...

    Yes, indeed the Builsa's are the only ethnic group in Ghana (and perhaps Africa) who democratically elect their chiefs. Those who witness the election of Azantillo II after the the death of the famous Azantillo I (hope I've s ...

    Your history is half-baked. Yes the Nayiri used to be the stooge for British indirect rule in Northern Ghana just as some chiefs in southern Ghana also sold their souls to the Whiteman. However, check the records. The Builsas ...

    If you are a Builsa community in far away Kumasi you should learn to live in peace and settle your matters peacefully. This chieftaincy nonsense should and must stop. The Asantes don't shed blood to enstool their chiefs why s ...

    WHY OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS FROM THE NORTH ALWAYS WANT TO SOLVE EVERY ISSUE WITH VIOLENCE ? THEY WILL BE DEPORTED FROM KUMASI TO THE NORTH TO AVOID VIOLENCE IF THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT .

  • securityman 9 years ago

    As a builsa I owe my allegiance to my village chief in buluk and as a resident of Kumasi I owe my my allegiance to the my ohene and to Otumfuo not any builsa living in kumasi zongo.

  • Brother 9 years ago

    Very wise statement. The idea of community chiefs in Kumasi or elsewhere is to ensure communality among the various groups but if this is where we will take the respect extended by the Otumfuo, I guess it is time for him to s ...

    There is no much chieftiancy violence in these places you enumerated. Chietiancy is very important as we still thrive to homogenize-Until and Upto when we become one in the north chieftiancy will remain paramount in the north ...

    Whereas I dont know Karim, I know the present Mamprusi chief in Kumasi, Musah. His father was a great chief and all the northerners in Kumasi revered him because he was strict, impartial and trustful. Please if anyone finds K ...

    The loomimg chieftaincy issue in the Builsa community in Kumasi should be quelled before it becomes a bigger problem. Such disputes have been the bane of communities, where these so-called sub-chiefs exploit their own people ...

    who give a dem about this issue, typical Africans and the eye for power.no need for anyone to die cos of this.

  • Lorgo Ligri 9 years ago

    The title 'Chief' is being loosely used these days. Any group of people in a different tribal land is led or headed by a 'representative' of their native home chief. The institution and title of chieftaincy is losing it's glo ...
