Asantehene plays the cards in Favour of Kumawuhemaa

Until when will the citizens of Kumawuman continue to linger in limbo? Majority of them have lost every hope of ever seeing the drastic change they had jubilantly expected in the traditional administration of Kumawuman in the aftermath of the demise of Barimah Asumadu Sakyi II. To those with wavering faith, I am here to reassure you that although the anticipated change is long coming, or the hurdles on the way to freedom seem insurmountable, they will not last forever. There is an end to everything. No matter how obstinate or crafty those playing God become, the wish of God will surely prevail as it does in all things. To those irresponsibly imitating God just to prove how powerful they are, I say, "Obstinacy is the cause of the horns of the hornbill". They will soon be like a pack of laughing stock sprawling on the floor in all directions. God has decreed that a person after His Own Heart from the Ananangya royal family will succeed Barima Asumadu Sakyi II no matter the numerous underhand dealings or scheming that takes on.

I had promised myself never again to lambast those in positions of power able to make or break the hopes of Kumawuman people. The people are fervently supplicating God to appoint them a new paramount chief from the Ananangya/Odumase families other than from the usurping opportunistic Ankaase family. I will however renege on my promise seeing that "He that always gives way to others will end in having no principles of his own" I will keep up the pressure, relentlessly revealing their dirty plots, greedy plans, selfish and myopic intentions, for the whole world to see how hollow-minded they are.

On my way to work on Friday, 2nd August 2011, I met a renowned academic who has close ties to the Ashanti Overlord. He inquired about the status progress of the Kumawu chieftaincy affairs. When told the case remains unresolved with Kumawuman citizens' fate hanging loosely in the balance, he asked, "dabre akoa no awe maame no" (maybe this guy has slept with the woman)? I answered in the affirmative. He said, "This guy is a womaniser, upon all the beautiful young girls he chases, is he still after this old woman?" He then said Kumawu people have a long haul to go because he will keep delaying the case, as the woman is his girlfriend. This goes to confirm all that Kumawuhemaa has been saying in private. She says, "Can Kwaku Duah ever decide this case against me?" Never, she always concludes. When bottom power speaks, who are the Kumawuman people with their poverty-stricken Ananangya/Odumases royals with garlic smell on their breath to open their mouth? If someone who knows Asantehene very well makes these disparaging remarks about him, who am I to dispute them?

Kumawuhemaa, her boyfriend the womaniser, and all the conniving "Amanhene" should note that it is said, "Those who seek to achieve prosperity through cruelty will be drowned in their own blood"

I have always been honest without being harsh with those I chastise for their perceived or actual wrongdoing. However, does everyone see me in that light? I hope not. Anyway, irrespective of how sentimental I often appear, WikiLeaks says, "If you don't want your filth exposed, then stop acting like pigs. Simple"

Could anyone cogently explain why Asantehene failed to attend the burial of the late paramount chief of Kumawuman, Barimah Asumadu Sakyi II? Was his failure to attend the laying in state and burial of an Ashanti paramount chief of such grand standing not constitute a breach of tradition? Never has any Asante Overlord failed to attend the laying in state and or burial of a great Asante Omanhene. Is it not first in history or history in the making? I don't know.

I will soon publish the names of the few those that have contributed various sums of money towards tackling the Kumawu Kontrihene from further infringing economic and financial havoc on Kumawuman. I will mention how much money each contributed. To the contributors, I say, "You are the heroes and heroines of Kumawuman". Bravo!
