In a war you capture stools, but don't take any other thing belonging to the stool from the owners.
What I may add is the head of the chief who seats on the stool also is taken, together with the stool.

I don’t like the description of The Spiritual Chief Priest OKOMFO ANKYE as a fetish priest. Who gave him that derogatory title? With all our years of Education we still accept the stupid derogatory description of our elders ,herbal doctors ,our Thrones as stools , Kings as chiefs etc.. Well, you studied outside the country and had to conform with whatever you were taught to gain your degrees and what nots. But then come home and use your brains , just think and draw logical conclusions and end up digging up forensically to make sense. The evil colonialists were mockingly ,stupidly and derogatorily describing your Royal Thrones as stools, meaning Shit sit. A glorified name for a Commode or shit pot for their royals . As King Henry V111 had his royal commode decorated with silk and velvet calling it a royal stool. Blackman please start thinking seriously about who you really are. And stop all these Absolute Nonsense about civilised societies. Just understand and accept where we are coming from and establish where we are going , moving forward with the modernisation process of time. And please stop the absolute nonsense and abject stupidity of copying foreigners and their weird behaviour.

Idolatry. It’s just a silly container with no powers at all.How can a container give a human being guidance?.This is just demonic nonsense.All this noise about Okomfo Anokye is nonsensical too,he was a sinner, and if he died without repenting of his sins then that son of Satan is in hell. Tribal pride or whatever doesn’t save anyone. Repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ Christ and be saved.Turn from these useless idols to serve the living God.

Jesus tells Christians to judge righteously (John 7:24). Righteous judgment is to judge according to the truth,the word of God. The fool is the one who exalts idolatry above the love of God, in the name of tribal affiliation and tradition. You can’t serve 2 masters. The true God has no regard for foolish idols. Idolators will not inherit God’s kingdom (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).You can’t hide behind am3mr3 to sneak your way into God’s kingdom.Repent!.

The story about the Dwete Kuduo is almost correct except that it was stolen from the Denkyiras'. Bodwesango happens to be the last born Nana Ago (Ago-nananom; Agona) of the Denkyiras with whom they failed to defeat in a WAR situation on 7 occasions so, eventually, the Kwaman led rebels ( Mind you, there was nothing called 'Asante'), had to STEAL it under the tutelage of Okomfo Anokye, who himself, was rescued, trained and made powerful by the Denkyiras. Tutu is a deity of the Denkyiras and was given to Osei Kofi (now Osei Tutu). My concluding part is since the Asa-ntes have found it necessary and morally apt to go for the stolen items (including the so-called Golden stool, the golden helmet, the golden sword, etc, which in itself, was stolen by Osei Kofi from the Denkyiras) don't they think that it is also fair to return all those stolen regalia and artifacts to the original owners, the Denkyiras? I think it makes moral and historical sense to do so. Or?

Sounds like it was looted. Perhaps its return to the original owners should be considered, just like we are asking the Europenas to do for items looted by them.

But asante carried the fight to Akyem kotoku who is elder brother of Bodwesango 99 times but defeated 99 times by Kotoku and killed osei tutu 1. They wanted to take Kotoku stool ( Ɔbohyeɛn dwa Kofi) but failed miserably all time..asante fear Kotoku like kakai. Only that Kotoku don't make noise. Asante went into agreement with Kotoku not to fight again..

It was stolen from the Adanse chief, in the same manner in which the golden stool was stolen from Ntim Gyakari, the Denkyira overlord who was defeated in the Battle of Feyiase. Okomfo Anokye did not command any golden stool from the sky to fall on the feet of Osei Tutu 1; it was a stolen stool. Only the naive will believe the cock and bull story that the Asantehene and his subjects have peddled over the years.
