Since when did insults become a criminal offence? Ghana has become a banana republic. The elite are using the police and the court system to harass and bully the poor. The youth should stand up, else they're being enslaved. I want to see the type of judge who will find her guilty and what criminal code in Ghana laws make any chief or individual beyond reproach.

The truth be told in this country. The Akyem Abuakwa chief has taken the laws into his own hands and has destroyed farms over 600 acres in the name of taking the lands from the settlers.
The forebears of the settlers bought the lands more than two (2) hundred years. What does the chief want the settlers to do? They are farmers.
The lady should not have referred to him a criminal. However, the amount of destruction the chief through those land grabbers have done in the area is heartbreaking. I implore the State to intervene in what is going on around Adeiso and Asuaba.

This is the reason why nana addo was conspiring with NANA DORMAAHENE to dragged the DIGNITY of asantehene in the mud because MANHYIA saw the move esp with AGYAPADE3 and decided to kicked against it!!

But the foolish, naive and village idiot who called HIMSELF A JUDGE cldnt read the lines and fall for it stupidly!

The tape that came out between the two of them was nana addo hatching a plan with NANA DORMAAHENE to destroyed the intergrity of the ASANTEHENE to reduced him to public ridicule so that the AGYAPA deal can go through!

This was the main purpose of the who NANA ADDO/NANA DORMAAHENE leaked audio! The stupa deal was created for the AKYEM mafias to controlled Al our national resourced for 100 or 200 years but manhyia secretly KICKED AGAINST it and they needed to find a way to REDUCE the powers of the ASANTEHENE and ridiculed him to the ghanaian public by using NANA DORMAAHENE, the naive IDIOT who can’t think for once because he loves the social media attention!

This was the main reason why there was that media delay by the likes of DORMAAHENE to create a chieftaincy war between the two Akan tribes so that asantehene ll be seen as nothing but the move BACKFIRED ON THEM!!

If it wasn’t because Manhyia didn’t agreed to the AGYAPA deal, the deal wldve gone through and idiots here doesn’t think for shit

What has the GONJA chief done about it? Has any gonja elder comes out to rebuked their subjects to stopped their insults on the ashantihene?

It was one of our northern brothers they referred to all ASHANTIS as FOOLS and none of the northern policitians came out to caution the youth to be mindful of their disrespect!!

All the chiefs in Ghana from the various regions haven’t seen anything yet because the INSULTS will flow on each and everyone on them for KEEPING MUTE when ASANTEHENE was insulted!

They thought they were untouchable but every chief is a COLLATERAL DAMAGE too!!

If ndc allows any chief to insult Asantehene, that chief will be insulted too!!

Now the abuakwahene, is being insulted left and right and they haven’t seen nothing yet!!

Do u remember, when nana Dormaaahene was fooling all over social media giving props to the likes of TWENE JONAS, Kevin Taylor etc to continued to insult the asantehene?

There was never one cheif or even the national house of chiefs coming out to censored NANA DORMAAHENE to stopped his stupidities and now u see how people have taken this advantage to rained unprintable insults on our noble tribes, chiefs etc?

HW3 DE3 NKWASIAFOO NO KYER3 haha….

If u are a Ghanaian or an AKAN and u made it your job to conspired against the SANTEHENE, remember, u ll never be respected yourself!

Again, the other tribes should take a cue from this that, any disrespect to the ASANTEHENE is a disrespect to them all and u see how other tribal chiefs can’t come to out on national issues anymore becasue they know they ll be INSULTED TOO afterall the ASANTEHENE is being dragged everyday on social media and how much more them!!

When was the last time u saw the GA MANTSE saying anything in public? Long time because the man knows he will be insulted basabasa!!

When NANA DORMAAHENE was drinking himself to death in PUBLIC and making a big fool of himself as an AKAN CHIEF, do u think any tribe for that matter will respect any AKAN CHIEF?

U see the insults on OKYEHENE and this is a cautionary tape to them all to start the conspiring against ASANTEHENE because IF U PULLED DOWN ASANTEHENE, you PULLED DOWN YOUR OWN SELF

There should be no surprises that the Okyehene and his insidious, phony land-protecting front shielding illegal mining in their backyards would take this intimidating approach to silence the wildly popular lady who has proven to really care for the ultimate interest of her Community.

It is a general public knowledge that the Abuakwahene has long been viewed as recklessly apathetic or complicit in the persistence of Galamsey that is raging on to destroy Okyeman lands. Every decent-minded, discerning observer also knows how the Abuakwahene has been attempting to elevate himself, with the help of the Akyem Mafia now ruling Ghana, as the overall King of Okyeman, ignoring the indestructible fact that there are other Paramount Chiefs in Akyem who share the same level of traditional authority in the area as Ofori Payin. The larger Akyem Citizenry has not elected Ofori Payin to be their Overlord or King. Yet, the Media has been coerced or deceived into leading a campaign to portray the Abuakwahene to the World as the Okyehene as if he wields an exclusive authority over the rest of the Chiefs. No! The Abuakwahene is only that and nothing more. He is not even considered as 'primus inter pares' among them.

Since his ascendance to the Presidency, Akufo-Addo has coyly manipulated the public to regard his hometown Chief of Kyebi and the Abuakwa traditional area as the King of all Akyems. This unfortunate attempt to grab for the Abuakwahene some higher authority that he has never had seems to have engendered in him a certain sense of arrogance and display of invincibility, untouchability, and infallibility. He has, thus, developed a hypersensitivity to how others respect him. Any criticism of him, however benign and genuine, becomes very offensive to him to which he reacts tyrannically. Such is what he has initiated with this lady complaining about Ofori Payin's attitude on the land destruction.

If we compare how the Akyem Mafia and Akufo-Addo insulted former President John Mahama at his incumbency when the former was in opposition, to the alleged insults by the lady of the Abuakwahene, the lady's pales in comparison. But Mahama did not pursue any civil suit against them. Moreover, this hypersensitivity of the Kyebi Chief to criticism by a fellow Citizen stresses his unwillingness to accept the realities on the ground and how the criminal destruction of the land and waters affects the lives of the Masses who depend on them for sheer existence.

As much as Ofori Payin, as well as any other Citizen, reserves the right to sue others who offend them, it is a general tacit belief that leaders who claim certain high positions in the society should not react so acutely punitive to the criticisms of the Masses.

The new sense of pre-eminence in Ofori Payin is further manifest in his vitriolic reaction to the Chief who deputized for the Asantehene, Otumfour Osei Tutu II, during a funeral visit to Abuakwa and failed to stand up upon Ofori Payin's appearance at the funeral. Most attentive folks know what happened next. The incident tainted the existing cordial brotherly relationship between the Abuakwahene and Asantehene, with many thinking the Abuakwahene simply capitalized on that perceived disrespect of him by the Asante emissary to claim equality to the Asantehene--something that is far-fetched at best and most insolent and fallacious and insipid at worst.

So, it must be noted by all Ghanaians how the current occupier of the Ofori Payin stool, has been propped up by his relative and President of Ghana to assume such dubious and false authority with which he is throwing his weight about to quelch genuine criticisms from concerned Citizens.

When the tables turn and Akufo-Addo and his Akyem Mafia are swept off the helm of national governance, the Akyem Abuakwahene must count on it that the Masses would waste no time to exact fitting retribution and correction of his authority to its real dimensions.

I therefore entreat all fair-minded and caring Ghanaians to empathize with the lady and offer her all the moral support she would need to survive this threat from the Abuakwahene and his likely Galamsey troopers. All thoughtful Akyems must wisely not abandon the lady now in her contribution to fight the historical destruction of the land.

Long Live All Akyem!
