WHY SHOULD ANY COURT SYSTEM TAKE 37 YEARS TO JUDGE A SIMPLE CASE AS THIS. NO MATTER PEOPE TAKE LAWS INTO THEIR HANDS. NONSENSE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND CORRUPT JUDGES.

I hope people will spare Ashantis today on this "WOFA WO HO" inheritance. This is Bono Ahafo, not Ashanti region and they are Bonos.

Propaganda from Ewes has damaged his brains. We Ashantis liked Busia because we knew he was a great leader. This is why Ewes and Ga people thought he was Ashanti. We also like Akuffo Addo more than Kuffuor because we know that despite Kuffuor's great leadership skills, he is not trustworthy. Long live Akans and death to Trokosi saboteurs.

Though I am not an NPP/NDC, I love Akuffo Addo. People call him arrogant but some NDC people have now come to see who he really is. I knew him since my ABUSCO days when he used to visit me at Paa Willies House. He is a down to Earth man and talks frankly. Yes, he is a no nonsense man and will speak his mind. He is the type who will not gloss over stupidity. He was the only one who could speak his mind to Kuffour. Anyway, that will not make me an NPP

Ashantis and Bonos are the same people and have common ancestry. That stupid mentality of Wofa ADE DIE is just stupid. Thank God for PNDC law 111. I will not forget Rawlings for that.

Your bigotry is the difference. If this would have been Asantes, you would have seen all the Asante haters.

Go and ask stupid Koo Boateng if BONOS and Asantes are the same.

A SIMPLE LAND CASE TAKES YEARS THAT IS WHY PEOPLE TAKE THE LAWS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS.
APART FROM LAWYER'S FEES, NOTE THAT THESE JUDGES ARE SOMETIMES OVERWHELMED.
THAT IS NOT A LEGAL SYSTEM ONE HAS TO BE PROUD OF. TELL ME, ARE YOU PROUD OF THE GHANAIAN COURT SYSTEM AS IT IS? TELL ME!!!!

the Fantis were mislead into believing ndc meant well and would continue the path of honesty and integrity set by mills . slowly eyes have been opened to see the reality of this hegemonic ayigbe selfish incompetent corrupt govt. from now on it will be each his own and ndc will never carry the day again in any of the Akan territories , only ppp cpp or npp will pass. the demographics of the country have changed and now the Fantis speaking people of western and central regions have the numbers to form their own state if pushed into war by these wish to dominate and buga buga oppress ewe led govt. it is not enough that they killed mills now they push further to put the people into poverty and misery hoping to break the spirit of the people as they have been trying to do since before kotoka. first it was the brain drain that took most of the intellectuals away to serve some pointless civil service that ignored their own people instead of decentralization, then the schools were opened to all except those that built and nurtured them in the first place. then came the period of deny any gainful employment so they were forced to emigrate to other lands. then all projects and industry that made logical sense including sustainability were placed elsewhere or not even processed. so today even the tradition industry the ordinary man could do to scratch a living are purposely being neglected or destroyed such as the fishing industry and the farming. we see all and say no more , long live the republic of Akan

IN AKAN TRADITION, THE BROTHER OR SISTER OF THE DECEASED SUCCEEDS HIM. IT IS ONLY WHEN ALL THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THE DECEASED ARE DEAD THAT HE IS SUCCEEDED BY HIS NEPHEW OR NIECE. WHOEVER SUCCEEDS THE DECEASED IS SUPPOSED TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIS CHILDREN AND WIFE. NOW PNDC LAW 111 TAKES CARE OF EVERYTHING, WHEN A MAN DIES WITHOUT MAKING A WILL. THIS LAW STATES THAT, THE DECEASED MAN'S PROPERTIES MUST BE DIVIDED INTO THREE (3): 1/3 FOR THE CHILDREN; 1/3 FOR THE WIFE; AND 1/3 FOR HIS PARENTS.
IF THE DECEASED BUILT THE HOUSE WHERE HE WAS LIVING WITH HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN, THAT HOUSE GOES TO THE WIFE AND CHILDREN. FOR PEACE, IT IS BETTER TO MAKE A WILL. IF THERE IS A WILL, EVERYTHING WILL BE DONE ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE DEAD PERSON.

The extended families in Ghana make me sick! Always trying to reap where they did not sow. The wives and children should have been given everything from day 1 - what nonsense is this???
