SO SO LIES. LETS THINK. ASHANTI'S AND AKANS ARE JUST CRIMINALS IN EVERYTHING. FOOLISH TRIBE IN GHANA
Easy man, easy!!!
@ISSAH, what has this got to do with tribal bigotry? Africans in general we are fond of this scam - almost everyone reduces their age when they are alive, but when they die their family would then be quoting some ridiculous n ...

HOW OLD WAS HE WHEN HE GAVE BIRTH TO ADWOA SAFO???????????????
Most of his children were born in the 80s. Adwoa Sarfo 1981. If we believe the lies, then he will be in his 70s at the time of their births. This man does not look like a person born in 1912. Sorry, it's a damn lie!
I was going to ask a similar question
He was 75 when he gave birth to Adwoa Safo. Since she is about 38. Ha ha! Then gave birth to Kodwo Safo jnr when he was 80.
There is a saying that goes: "when you tell lies, tell lies closer to the truth".
This one is off ...

Have you studied any biology? Can't a 75-year-old man give birth?
DO YOU HAVE COMMON SENSE. LONG LIFE IS NO LONGER GUARANTEED WITH AGE. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW WILL LIKE TO WAIT AND THEN HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF BABIES AT 75.
The family could be right. If you determine his age using the Kantanka calendar which has a 21 Days in a calendar month. Dr Kwadwo Sarfo Kantanka was a unique person. An astute inventor. Thank you
(21 ÷ 31) x 77yrs = 113.66yrs
I get it. In Kantanka calendar he is 114yrs but in reality world calendar, he is 77yrs old.

Coward like you what can you do? You are no less a tribal bigot than the guy you are abusing. You can’t think beyond your arrogance , stupidity and self gratification.
Just like the northerners have taken your heritage from you in your region ?

What's the sense behind adding numbers or changing the age of someone who died? It's something commonly done in Ghana and it shows how dishonest people in that country are. How old is his First- Born? Add 30 to 35 years if Ka ...

Nothing mysterious about that. Do you have proof that she didnt take any of the WAEC-administered exams to get into the university?
Or did I misunderstand you?
I saw her CV during her confirmation hearing. Most people will state year of graduation from HS/courses they took etc. She simply said she home schooled and went to the University of Ghana. I was like how did she get in, beca ...

Plenty lies. What's so special an about saying he is even 1000 years old. This man had permed hair but told us that was his natural hair

A person call Issah has the temerity to insult Akans? You are pained your tribe is just useless and want to blame us for your plight.
Issa, I can foresee that you smoked ganja before putting pen to paper. We shall soon fish you out and teach you how to talk about the Asantes. You SOB.
Your comment shows that you lack common sense. I wonder why Ghanaweb allow such people to comment. You think you can hide and write nonsense about another tribe. Wherever you are we will catch up with you one day
@Issah please be respectful.
Thus is nonsense Issah. You are tribalism. You don't classify a particular group of people in a derogatory man̈er. Please behave yourself.
THAT MEANS THAT IF HE STARTED GIVING BIRTH AT AGE 33, HIS SON WOULD BE 80 YEARS OLD NOW AND ADWOA SAFO WOULD BE 76 YEARS OLD NOW.

Do you think 112 is just numbers, commot from there, the man was 77. Don't come and add years to his age cuz it ain't gonna bring him back. The man can never be 112. Toli nkoaaaaaa
Kwasea. Do you know him and his age more than his family? Shut your beak you bastard
@ Evelyn,
How old are his children? How old is Adwoa Sarfo? Is the man several decades older is than Adwoa Sarfo's mother?
Adwoa Sarfo can't even be 50 years old. Do the math.
So, if Adwo Safo is 43 years, his father was 70 years then. 113-43
Thanks!
Common sense is the most shared commodity.
Ghanaian are so naive that they swallow any aberration.
Most Ghanaians who change their ages wouldnt go past 10 years though
Adwoa Safo is 38
Shame on the family. Big shame
@ Nii Akwei. Why shame? The family are telling you the truth then you squeeze your animal face. Rat
A PERSON CAN MAKE THEIR MOUTH SAY ANYTHING. WHAT EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE TO BACK UP THEIR CLAIM. IN THE ABSENCE OF THAT, GOD GAVE YOU COMMON SENSE USE IT.
Telling what truth? Why did they wait for the man to die before unloading this lie, knowing that he's no longer around to answer any queries about that claim? You can't hand sand to a blind person and and ask that blind perso ...

You ask: So [where] was he when Nkrumah and others were fighting for independence?
Short answer: he was in his workshop most days, replicating Chinese-made cars.
Then chief Imam should be 150 years now. Lol
So when he chopped 100 he didn't celebrate
They don’t know his age, very simple.
This is absolutely untrue.We need a forensic examination of his bone to confirm his age.It was 77 went to 90 and now 103.Which is correct?
I guess they want to claim that he was oldest Ghanaian.
NANA ADDO 115 YEARS OLD
After his death that we will know if Nana Addo is not more than 120 years old.
Confused family: confusing everyone!
Just add 18 or 20 to the age of his first child and you will get a more accurate age for him.
18 for men and 16 for women in those days.
Rubbish
Not rubbish at all, how he lived his life is a factor to determine his age. He was barely 80
He should be oldest person who has ever lived in Ghana.
hahahahahaha 113 hahahahahahahah what alie
ITS TRUE!!!…HE DIED IN 1947 AND WAS BORN AGAIN IN 1948, THEN DIED AGAIN THIS YEAR!!
And he came back as Wasteman to post comments on Ghanaweb.
I doubt if he was even 80

Safo Kantanka was in his late 70s. In the early 80s when he led the establishment of his farms, he was just a young man. The age they have given is a palpable lie. What's the age of his first offspring?
What? Hmmmmm. So he's older than Chief Imam right? Yoo yate.
What a bout the video of him speaking and mentioned that he was in school in 1950. Is it an AI video? Does it mean he was in school at the age of 38years?
He gave birth to Adwoa Sarfo when he was 70 years ?
August 26th 1948 was a Thursday and not Monday.
I think the family realized their mistake and now trying to add more age to the dead man to make him seem immortal of a sort. Anyway, may he rest in peace. Odwan
I believe that lie. My grandfather died at the age of 196 years, and that's a 'fact'. Ever heard of any person eating a very bitter fruit not not making faces? The family wants Ghanaians to swallow this lie, just like some re ...

This man, even in his final days doesn't really look as old as the 113 years age the family is quoting.

The persiste.nce of violence in the name of a “merciful God” suggests that what people wors.hip may not be God at all, but their own ambitions legitimized in so-called holy books.
Plain bare faced lie.
Ancestor paaaa
Lies Lies. In Ghana, it has now become dubiously fashionable to inflate people's age after death. What a Third World country!
Lies.
So how old was he when he gave birth to the former MP for Dome Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo?
@Mr Ibu,to give a fair answer to your question,I can't claim to know his true age when he died as i was not his father or mother who gave birth to him.So also,every other person doubting the 113 that Kodwo Safo's family say ...

May his soul rest in perfect peace, A great man of God who looked after many people and loved humanity.
Nobody cares about the age.
You people can deceive everybody in this country but you can't deceive God, the ANCIENT OF DAYS.
From a black man to later Michael Jackson.
What is date of birth in his Ghana card and passport.
If the man was 113 as claimed, then some of his children should be over 80-85 years old.

What is the age of Apostle Safo Kantanka first child. That will give a fair idea of how old he was before he died.
How old was he when he had his first born?? 80 yrs or 90 years??
So he rose from 77 to 113 after 40 days of his passing, what a shame!!!
