It is wrong for the Kumawu white man, Nana London to claim that Otumfuor Osei Tutu, the Asantehene's power is unilateral. It is possible that the Kumawu white man may not have logical, legal, and political knowledge about confederacies and political alliance, especially, when it comes to the Ashanti Kingdom. The name of Asante, literally means, for the sake of war or nation building, not the power that one of the members of the confederate states wields. Nana Osei Tutu is who ever he is today, because of the unity and trust reposed in him by all the Ashanti confederate members. The withdrawal of even one member of the Ashanti confederacy is the end of Nana Osei Tutu, because he seizes to be the Asantehene. Ashantis do not want this calamity to befall them that is the reason why they have tolerated the nonsense and the dictatorship of the past and the present Asantehene, no matter their corrupt and unnecessary opulent lifestyles. Otumfuor better listen to the Kumawu traditional kingmakers before he looses the kingdom, because, even his throne is contestable, Ashanti traditional standards, we are watching this Kumawu chieftaincy dispute carefully, and this may be a make or break for this corrupt and womanizing Asantehene Osei Tutu II, also known as Kwaku Dua.

The days, when a KING in Ghana can order executioners (ABRAFUO) to bring the head of a disloyal or disgruntled sub-King, are gone.
In these days the sub-Kings need to be pampered or coursed to remain loyal subjects.
Traditionally, the Kumawuhene should have been installed in Kumawu. He would have sworn the oath of allegiance to his own people first before moving down to Manhyia, Kumasi, to swear the oath of allegiance to Asantehene.
If the Asantehene had stated that if any King or sub-King of Kumawu failed to attend the Installation and swearing-in ceremonies of Kumawuhene at Manhyia, should consider himself destooled.
This is dictatorial and unacceptable in the present day life.
Why should Kumawuhene be installed in Manhyia and to be followed by swearing-in? Is that the tradition or customary?
Kumawuhehe WAS NOT NOMINATED IN KUMAWU BY KUMAWUHEMA,parade him throughout the major streets of Kumawu and later on installed.
ACCORDING TO TRADITION, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE and should not be FORCED ON THE PEOPLE OF KUMAWU.
Recently when Scotland wanted to secede from the British Parliament, the people of Scotland went to a modern style called referendum. If it had been the days of QUEEN VICTORIA, the idea of referendum would not have surfaced.
We must also modernize.
There is the need to modify our traditional rules and laws to bring peace and harmony among the people.

Ashantis are very rich,no doubt. What have these chiefs and their king done at all for the young ones in their kingdom? The road network are visibly very,very poor,especially the stretch leading to Antoa and Bonwire.There will surely be an era when the youth in that kingdom will rise and begin to quiz their opinion leaders.Wake up in the morning,listen to the various radio stations in Kumasi,and it is all about petty politics. They blame the politicians and leave their king and these chiefs to amass wealth and render the youth hopeless.

In the era of modern Ghana, chieftaincy has caused us more grief than we ever dreamed of.
These chiefs/kings are mostly a band of crooks who turn around to ruin their people and the country as a whole. Ghana is a mess now because the Asantehene teamed up with judges and others to hand power to NDC, for a price, at the detriment of the Nation and her people.
Across the length and breadth of this country, we cannot name a single chief/king who has not sold out the people they claim to represent.
In our present day Ghana, leaders are not responsible to their people; they plunder their domains and ransack the vaults and ask their people to hold the empty sacks.
The Ashantihene is not the President of this country but he travels around the world in the Presidential Plane of Ghana ..... why ? ..... because of the Unholy alliance he has built with Mahama and the NDC for his own profit.
The current crop of chiefs/kings are NOT fit to be in charge of a kindergarten.
