    Kan Dapaah is not an akan. Hes a northerner. The ashantehene has northern blood that why he love northerners!

    The headline doesn't reflect the feeling behind the speech. I think the Headline should be inspirational to the guys in the university now rather than depressive.

    The camaraderie has been great.

    Otumfuo l have always respected you but to say these l say you are being proud. Give all the praises to the Almighty God who gave you the strength to support Ken Dappah because the air you breath is from God not your might.
