Who watches the watchman ? not only is our society now plagued with the worst forms of hegemony and chauvinistic tribalism but our govt is now the leader in govt sanctioned 419 sakawa scam operations that its notoriety has gone global.we shall now begin a series that exposes the modus operandi of these criminals as all one needs to be is quietly observant and one will see the proofs . in short they take a worthy idea or project , proclaim it good then when it is started by the gullible all of a sudden there are problems , procedures and processes which in the end result only in the promoters or companies spending from a few thousands to millions , in the meanwhile these ndc officials and their civil servant cronies line their pockets with monies from these unsuspecting genuine businessmen. there is definately no agenda to move the country forward , thousands of businesses are being sabotaged in this manner . the pact and alliance of these northerners and ewes cover all institutions so no investigation in these malpractices are undertaken. yes the anti Akan coalition is there to rob not only the Akans but all the unsuspecting who dare to come with their capital but the word is out and now people are getting wiser. the institutions such as the police , army , bni and so on are not there to protect the law but rather cover up for all these criminal activities by the northerners and ewes. if anyone doubts just take the time to investigate what happens to any project in the pipeline starting with the stx or any project for that matter. ministers dont know what their directors are doing , ministries that are supposed to coordinate with each other cant , files getting lost until someone pays , and the tricks are endless. yes its now time to tell the people the truth about these good for nothing criminals of tribal affiliation . their dubious reputation is known globally so now nobody serious wants to touch them yet they continue to travel the world to entice the ignorant who very quickly learn this is a scam govt which does not care about anything but what they can put in their pockets today . we shall soon have our war or revolution to rid us of this yoke. now they steal from us in broad daylight and think of elaborate media spins and schemes to hide the true facts but look carefully the truth is always there . long live the republic of Akan

KT Hammond's experience is what I call a rich childhood and in that sense, we have a common background as my elder brother and I carried oranges, banana and pine-apples (among other things) by day and 'mosquito coils' (by night) to sell to help our mother's own little 'industry' and look where it got us!!!

Bill Clinton recounts his own childhood experiences which were not dissimilar, in Hope, Arkansas in his Autobiography : My Life and the fact that one can identify with such figures makes you realise that the human condition knows no geographical boundaries. The Osagyefo Dr Nkrumah's own 'rich childhood' and early adulthood experiences helped to shape his life, philosophy and the history that he made.

For politicians to go on air to somehow create the impression that one's childhood should define who they are today is most preposterous. I also believe like Hammond, that there is absolutely nothoing wrong with having to 'dig deep' to support your family in this way, and even as a University student, I spent 6 weeks as a farm labourer (away from our own family farms in Achimota area in those days) in a remote village called "Be bo me" (come and beat me) in Asante Akim District, a place away from Agogo where even boiling the water and crating a filter to drink it did not prevent me from getting hookworm infesdtation!!!

It is those who do not have an 'experience' in life who cannot understand the passion and determined effort that others put into their careers, and especially their determined and ecided belief in the human spirit and the eqaully of all regardless fo home or creed.

Sometimes when I read the crass nonsense written on our social media, and some of the misguided, uninformed and silly comments, statements, uternaces etc. of various people including some of our politicians and so-called 'men of God', I really wonder which planet they descended from.

I give Hammond a lot of credit for confronting the NDC politician for this daft, unnecessary and rather silly remark about his early beginnings.

If I were a voter inthat constituency, I know who I would prefer to represent me on this showing. That is not to say that KT Hammond is necessarily the best candidate for that constituency although if you gave me a choice between the two, I would prefer Mr Hammond as my representative.

This has nothing to do with your corrupt behavior. Ex president Kuffour became president amass wealth for himself and his cronies. Look at the dubious EO deal to obtain 1.75% shares in Ghana's oil which they later sold in order not to be exposed? He used corrupt people like you to dupe the nation but Ashantis do not and could not talk about. If it were to any party member Kweku Baako and his bribed group would have jumped on it to say a whole lot about. Selling Kenkey and others are common among successful individuals in Ghana.

One night a man and woman went to his house to have sex when he stopped her to say "I still live with my parents and me and my brother share bunk beds so if you want to change positions say "kenkey" and if you want to go faster say "Fish"

So they were getting it on and she was screaming "Kenkey, Kenkey, Fish, Fish, Kenkey, Kenkey"

Suddenly the younger brother (on the bottom bunk) said

God elevates anyone who puts his hand to the plough and never looks back. You reasoned with your mother and saw that the only way to rise above all odds is to sell the kenkey/salt to go to the next level in life. Who ever is casting insinuations against you is block headed. This is the kind of motivational talk that the youth must here to eschew the get rich attitude that has permeated our society. Our politicians are to be blamed for all this. They should sacrifice and build the better Ghana that we are all yearning for and stop the scheming to do things that favour them and their family alone. Now it should not be my party this my party that but nationalism, otherwise posterity will never forgive us.

Well said, KT,
John Major went to work for Barclays in Nigeria as a messenger. He was hit by a vehicle while he was in Nigeria. That brought him back to Britain, but the lessons he learnt on the streets of Lagos got him back into education and banking. He eventually landed in the British Parliament and managed to depose a Cambridge MSc Chemistry graduate and lawyer, to become Prime Minister.

I surprised at the criticisms of KT. The subject at the moment is what he did as a boy which somebody wants to use against him. Let that gentleman understand that the story of KT is not that different from many successful men in Ghana and current young boys in our nation. These struggles of the many in our country could be child labour somewhere but an important service many young men offer to the family to enable them access education and good life. I've lived it and will never regret it. My childhood service at home doing house chores and helping my mum in her commercial activities enabled me to get education, developed values of hard work and service. I believe it's not a unique story but worthy being proud of if one try to mock you with it.

so when are you going to learn sense you always spew nonsense everywhere, the people who did that resides in Ashante region so probably they are Asante’s right? so only Asante's people live in Ashante region right? no wonder Ghana is full of bird brains who think and reason with their ass. How would you defined education? so you think you can speak 2 by 4 English language you are better than those who can't speak that twisted language? the illiterate Asante's knows that Asante is not a tribe and literate Ghanaian like you people admit that Asante is a tribe, find the meaning of tribe in your dictionary and read for yourself if you can tell that definition fit the Asante’s. our education system is so corrupt that even our so-called educational elites fumble about the definition of tribe they still mention Asante as tribe in their various script so we will continue to live in the dark age till thy kingdom come because we are not ready to collect things imposed on us by the Europeans but still throwing dust in people eyes insulting Asante’s, Asante’s this, Asante’s that, why Ghanaians are so allergic to truth? no one not even a single Ghanaian speak the truth we always twist things no wonder we were colonized by the twisters so that is the only thing they left us and it's our property in our country to this date and up to date we still struggle with their twisted language. Continue to lionize the oppressors and tell people that they can't speak that twisted English language so they are illiterate, if this is how your illiteracy is defined then the Germans, Japanese, Chinese, south Koreans etc are all illiterate because they don't used English to teach in their various schools but rather using it as a form of communication but yet still your country Ghana borrow money from this people isn't it funny to boast yourself in some ones language? come on mr.man criticized the Asante’s in constructive manner but don't use twisted English language as a yardstick, if you want to know something about so-called English twisted language read the history of Anglo Saxons and the slave trade there you will prove me right. To me Asante's are not illiterate because they can speak their language and write it, they are wise people with decent behavior always they stand for the truth nothing but the truth that is their hall mark so mr.man who are you to tell them that they are illiterates? because they never been to Lagon, Tech, UCC etc for the bogus decree holders to assimilate them or is it because they never conform to western things? leave Asante's alone they have their own way of education let them have peace of mind so that they can concentrate.They have their own mind so you can go to hell if what you think is right, one thing i like about the Asante's is that they are proud of their language and their heritage, before you talk about the Asante's learn history first and talk than to talk anyhow without knowing anything about them. Asante is not a tribe, then tell me Adansi is also a tribe and Denkyera as well, these two kingdoms were there before the coming of Asante ( osa nti)if these great kingdoms were never tribes how can Asante be a tribe? now we all know from the bible how tribe came about through the descendant of Jacob, so they were having the twelve tribe of Israel and now if each member of those tribe come together do they form a tribe again? we have Agona, Aduana, Oyoko,3k)na, Bretuo, As3kyeri,Asona, Monsi3 etc Aduana people have their own believes as the same to the other tribes the Europeans in their twisted ways are telling us that we should called our tribes as clans and our kings as chiefs whiles they have kingdoms and tribes, we will have chieftaincy and clans. The first kingdom in a present day Ghana was Adansi kingdom led by Aduana tribe these people believe that they were created by God, they have so many believes like kwaku Ananse story, the creation of Adansi Akyer3kyer3 by God now called Akrokerri, their kingdom grew stronger and stronger they started building house using mud that is why they were called Adansi meaning builders, they have some believe that their women are beautiful so their women should stay home and the man should serve them so that their beauty won't fade, generation passed and another generation came things changed. Another chief gathered his people and they fought against Aduana and conquered them this group of people were Agona people who believe that they are wiser than anyone on this earth so they defeated the Adansi and they became part of them and some of them left to present day kumasi and its environs to seek an asylum. The Agona people also have their own believes, they believe in their wisdom given to them by God and their men also pamper their ladies and never mistreat women in their life, they use sensible tactics to defeated the Aduana that is why they were called denay3nkyer3 which is denkyera all these things happened you and I were not there not even the Europeans but yet still we fellow their twisted ways. The rising of Asante led by Oyoko tribe. Osei tutu the first, was serving in denkyera kingdom he was learning how to rule in aman hyia which is no called manhyia in the suburb of kumasi, chiefs in kumasi at that time were ruling in their own suburb not in a union state, Oyoko people were occupied only in manhyia where they ruled. Oyoko people have their own believes, they believe what they can do, they are aggressive, they are bold to face anything on their way, after the dead of Osei Tutu's uncle he became a king at manhyia, he then tried to gathered all the suburb chiefs to form a union to fight against the Agona people which is denkyera kingdom but don't get that is through Agona people who taught Osei Tutu Oyoko man how to rule. Osei Tutu succeeded in his movement which is called osa nti that is because of war he got support from Asona tribe, As3kyeri,etc with the exception of Agona tribe who were the occupant of the great kingdom. After he succeeded he then attacked the Brongs and fought several wars there so their number increased, he then turned his back to denkyera but never succeeded some years later Aduana from Adansi were under Denkyera rule joined the Oyoko tribe led by Osei Tutu to defeated the Agona tribe which is Denkyira after they defeated Denkyera they became mighty Asante’s and some of the Denkyera people began to pay homage to the Asante’s. Why they became mighty Asante’s after the defeating of Denkyera? because Denkyera was the strongest kingdom ever exist and the Asante’s took their title with the helped of Aduane people from Adansi and later they fought with Aduana people from Adansi and some of them left to settle different places. So Asante led by Oyoko was made up of different tribes with different believes, so you may meet an Asante who is arrogant, pride, disrespectful, etc the reason is that they are not from one tribe but rather different tribes so there must be a differences so stop insulting Asante’s and don't follow the twisted history wrote by the Europeans to fool you and believe that Asante is a tribe, tribal war died in the eleventh where you and i weren't there even those Europeans weren't around and they are now writing some for you to believe that is happened how come that a black man have weak memory we just believe in ay trivia thing spread peace and live in harmonious way with each other. wellsbrains1919@yahoo.com or whatsapp 008613566124757

KT Hammond said that mysteriously somebody put into his pigeon hole some documents he had been looking for. This man is a bloke liar. In fact, his behavior is characteristic of a liar. He knows where the $3.1m is; yes he know. And does he know what some people did to help their parents? Selling kenkey and salt is just too good!!!

Unfortunately, you sadly thrown all these beautiful values and respect into the gutters when disappointedly, you became a minister. It seems this is a typical attitude of a Ghanaian in authority or order of responsibility. What a shame!!!
