    You Guys should stop that nonsense that the Asantehene is the King of Ghana. There is no such crazy and silly thing. Ghana is not a Kingdom to have a King. Ghana has a Democracy and a Democratically Elected Government. There ...

    Be he failed to give the meaning of OTUMFUƆ in English. It must be added that former ASANTE kings were not called OTUMFUƆ till recently.

  • “Otumfuo” was Akwamuhene title 3 months ago

    “Otumfuo” was Akwamuhene title for over 200 years before taking by the Asantehene when they formed their union. Osei Tutu took the title with him when he was sent off to Kwaaman by Otumfuo Ansa Sasraku, the Akwamuhene.

  • YAW ADJEI 3 months ago

    No problem with the title Nana, but I can’t call him by the other title. That title means omnipotent, which he’s not. The title is solely reserved for God.

  • Nsia 3 months ago

    @YAW, the problem is: from 1701 to 1931 not a single King of the Ashantis was called "Otumfuo". It was only used by the Kings of the Akwamu People. And , they have used "Nana Otumfuo" from 1699 to date.
