...I have a history lesson and a warning to my own ASHANTI FOLKS.

Osei Kofi Tutu I was shot and killed by Akyems in 1717.

The Akyems have always been a small but divisive group. They would align with anyone, anything to get their wishes.
Ghana is changing fast. The Ewes are increasing in size and education, the northerners are also multiplying.

If we do not change and tell these Akyem mafias to get off our backs and learn to settle within the hegemony of a greater good for Ghana, there will come a time when we will be out- numbered and I fear our children will suffer for our past misdeeds.

Our past can be forgiven but we have to change first.

Stop trusting these Akyems. They aligned with the Akwamus, Fantis, Gas and even till now Colonialists just to get their interest.

Imagine, they turned you against your own Son, Alan Kyerematen even when signs were that he could have been the bridge between Ewes and Ashantis at long last.

What can't they do? This is not an alliance of equals but one of opportunism. It is wrong and bad for future Ashantis.

Hey my people, you can do better, don't be deceived. We brought down the might Denkyira with wisdom and great tact. Where has these virtues gone.
We stand together as brothers and sister of a common Ghana against globalization, extremism and pestilences like Ebola.

We have always had values of the common good, unity and strength and not fear of an unknown. Don't let these Akyem Mafias use you, Nananom.
Wake up, Nananom, wake up Ashanti. Let's forge a better future with our fellow Ghanaians

The problem with Ghanaians like you, is that, you don't understand the difference between power and office. Look, your teacher should have done this job. This is why the teaching profession in Ghana needs a serious revamp.

Ghanaians were crying that Rawlings kept too long in power. What about this man who spent 27 years in power and needs more? The devil you know is better than the angel you do not know.

African leaders and the love for power, one just cannot fathom their insatiable quest and affinity for power.
He's prolonging his pain and also setting the country up for destruction, all because of his love for power.
It's totally unnecessary.
How can you preside over a transitional team, when they don't even want you as the head honcho? It doesn't make sense.
They don't want you as the President, how can they accept you as the transitional head?
It's mindboggling how some of these African leaders think.
He should just step down, and save the little infrastructure in the country.

How could one person who came to power through the barrel of a gun forcefully hang on to power for 27 years ? Being so greedy, he is trying to change the constitution to extend his rule.

Why would Ecowas support such a stupid idea ? Mahama supports this move because he stole an election by manipulating the supreme court and intimidating and bribing judges.

In Africa, heads of states assume ultimate power and they run roughshod over the people they are supposed to serve & protect.

The Burkina president should be given NO CHANCE to stay for even a
year. He should leave right now. Enough is Enough. He has ruined the country just like what JJ did to Ghana. Time to go.

They all seek personal interest.
They all had Western support to destroy their fellow rivals. It is just a matter of time and you would see them for what they are.

Let the backyard incidence keep the leaders in Ghana in check. If they continue to fail the people with impunity then civil disobedience and a possible revolt may follow like in Burkina!
