I don't even understand why people are having fits over the Mayors Billboard. He has every right to entice his sponsors to erect them. He can also use some of his campaign funds left over for such ads. Another thing, in Ghana any jerk can do whatever they please as long as they have clout and money. Even the fools who seem to have a problem are probably engaged in equally disgusting attitudes and lifestyle... Jealous and Envious that someone beat them to it, or outdoing them!!!

Oh Ghana, Oh Asanteman, why do you heap praises on somebody like this Kojo Bonsu guy? Kojo Bonsu is a crook and cocaine dealer who is only interested in his fat stomach. Kojo Bonsu does not give one fuucck about Kumasi and Asanteman. Hope Otumfuo is watching; Asanteman is sinking so our leaders have a duty to preserve what was bestowed on them by our Great Kings.

What is all this about? We all know who this crook is.. right from the Rawlings era and his affiliation to Mrs. Rawlings. He has now been able to sneak into Mahama's administration but this will cost the NDC alot. Kojo Bonsu is a thief, a liar and a womanizer. We all know that. What is the purpose of this billboard? If anyone should show off in a rich Kente cloth on billboards in Kumasi, it should be the ASANTEHENE and not a mere major like Kojo Bonsu. He is an opportunist. He has nothing to offer to the people of Kumasi. The bill board should come down NOW!!! We have enough problems in Kumasi and Ghana for the matter for this idiot to start another one. SORRY FOR THE NDC. SELL THIS PRODIGAL SON AND DO IT QUICK BEFORE HE BRINGS THE ENTIRE PARTY DOWN. HE IS AN OPPORTUNIST...NDC BY DAY, NPP AT NIGHT... BELIEVE ME.

There are way too many "wanna bees" in Kumasi. Everyone of them wants to be a crown prince. Kojo Bonus exemplifies the point I am making here. The Mayor of the city is behaving as if Kumasi belongs to him. What should Asantehene who is the custodian of the Golden stool do? Among the Ashantis every tom dick and harry is Nana. The accolde must at all cost be accorded to whoever gets the chance and it is a WY to chop money.

And his team are up to? And really I do not know how bad they want things to get before things get out of hand!
There is plenty of work to be done in the metropolis,and all the appointee or his surrogates care about are the 'atmospherics'? And how much time has elapsed since he Mahama was inaugurated into office? It all appears like a slow-mottion movie to me. Good Heavens!

Power drunk Africans with little or nothing to offer the poor and disadvantaged. We need a new breed of leaders. Bonsu knows what is going on. What a shame.

As long as we have clowns and coconut heads at the helm of affairs who do not care to spare a thought for the poor and forlon,people like Kojo Bonsu will always think that he is not accountable to the public.Kojo Bonsu is uncivilised educated bush man who lacks wisdom.Kojo,-don't get me wrong,-i am also a bush man and fisher man but civilised.There are so many Kojo Bonsus in the country who make fools of themselves everyday.His ego is bigger than Asante man;-he is just power drunk.Any clown can be a president or mayor in Ghana.Mayor's post is to collect tolls from the traders and pocket the money.Every regions in the country has a mayor but what do we do we see -stench,refuse and mosquitoes every where.We have parasites as parliamentarians,mayors,district commissioners etc,etc who want power at any cost but have no idea about good governance.They are in power to rob the people.Ghana is in the hands of crooks and thieves.People,-wake up from darkness and ignorance-the world is not waiting for you.-Nana Egyir Aggrey Snr citizen

Kumasi is full of dirt and the best our new socalled Mayor can do is to spend money on billboards,for us to know he is in town.
And NDC claims to be a Socialist party.I wounder if they understand what Socialism means.

Let's go the Arab way. The Spring Arab Revolution. No military or other forces but civilians alone. Get the government to resign, arrest the corrupt ones and send them to jail and come out with a union government. This can come about with massive but peaceful demonstations nationwide. Things can't continue this way. After 56years of self rule we lack everything except corruption and greediness. Some sacrifices cuold be made to get things changed. We as a nation are at a croosroad, we can choose to stay where we are and fold uor arms and play the blame game. OR take our destiny in our hands and get things done the way we cherish. Nothing is too late.

If this joker claims he knows nothing about the billboards is he going to pull them down? Why is that members of NDC cannot tell the truth when they are caught pants down.

I know authoritatively that the billboards were mounted by a friend who has an outdoor advertising business as a show of support of his friend. Fortunately his friend is not even an NDC supporter

Good show by source/sponsors to honour and welcome the new KMA Chief Executive.It is adorable and do urge all folks of Kumasi to applaud his nomination. He has the endowed intelligent skills/knowledge to transform policies and strategies on paper to a reality.
Congratulations Honourable Kojo Bonsu....Please ignore all the negative remarks,draw strength from your lord only, and strive on to attain your planned objectives to meet expectations. And the billboards are going to be bigger in future.You have been born great.

This reminds me of the eerie spectacle of Kuffour giving himself an award, even though he was already the sitting president of Ghana. As despicable as it is, the idea of personal rule with its attending proclivity to worshiping individuals is endearing to some aspects of our culture. Was this billboard act based on the advice of his advisers? Couldn't anyone in his family stop him from such an embarrassing act. What a mess!
