  Nkrumah is part of the cause of chieftaincy dispute.Right after independence he shd have nationalized land in Ghana,to disable these greedy chiefs.Sankara did it in Burkina & today we import tomatoes & onion from them.Today real estate companies are looking for land to build houses at cheaper cost to satisfy the high demand for houses from Ghanaians & these greedy chiefs are hiding behind their title to deny us land.

  Yes, most of us are not pleased with the state of affairs in this country. Nevertheless, your statement and choice of words leaves much to be desired. It proves one thing though- you were not properly brought up. You must have been poorly schooled too; & probably belong to a bad church or whatever religion accommodates your kind. Give respect to those who have authority over you. Let your words be seasoned with salt, giving grace to your hearers ( in this case, your readers).

  The courts, the house of chiefs and a ministry with responsibility for communities or local government surely exists? so what is wrong with such matters being heard in a proper civilized Ga manner my people?As for the Institution of chieftancy with all due respect some of you are wrong; it has its usefullness particular these days when we are talking about sustainability, civic empowerment, economic and social development, fight for social justice, urban sprawl and all. we have to look at the big picture which is who destools the kingmakers if they can destool the chief? we need new kingmakers who would appoint chiefs based on the vision they have for the area and the people and how they intend to relate to the Government and other agencies and businesses within the area to make that vision possible.As for the youths who just want to fight they are misguided to want to die for a cause which do not have much in it for them.

  Otumfuo, Nana Asantehene, please settle Bompata chieftaincy dispute case. As a result of this inaction on the part of your Asanteman Council, the town has been left without a queen mother for several years now, while the current illegitimate chief who resides in Accra hardly visits the town.
  
  No wonder there is no development whatsoever going on in this town. Without vision, the people really perish, especially the youth of this town. Is this what the Asanteman Council wishes for the same people they are supposed to serve?
  
  It is amazing how we fail to correct injustice in our society as leaders even if our failure to do so is detrimental to the very society we are expected to serve; yet we cry out loud for justice when the matter at hand adversely concerns us.
  
  It is equally amazing to observe that cases brought before the Asanteman Council can drag for over 40 years without any attempt to call for settlement. Such gross inefficiencies definitely call for urgent need to reform the way the Asanteman Council operates.
  
  In the name of all the Asantehenes Otumfuo Nana: Twum; Antwi, Kobia Amamfi, Oti Akenten, Obiri Yeboa, Osei Tutu Opemsoo, Opoku Ware Katakyie, Kusi Obuadum, Osei Kwadwo Okoawia, Osei Kwame Panyin, Opoku Fofie, Osei Tutu Kwame Asiba, Osei Yaw Akoto, Kwaku Dua I, Kofi Karikari, Mensa Bonsu, Kwaku Dua II, Prempeh I, Osei Tutu Agyeman Prempeh II, Opoku Ware II; who have ruled the Asante kingdom before your turn, Otumfuo Nana Osei Tutu II, please help and bring this case to a peaceful closure!

  After dominating us for more than 100 years, the colonialist used the chiefs as exist strategy, they told them "now you can dominate your people" They gave them unfair advantage over us. The land with its gold and wild life is for one man. He can do what he pleases with it. If he finds you guilty there is no appeal. They even see their subjects as their flock of sheep, when a king dies some young boys and girls are slaughtered as sacrifice to their gods. They are completely useless and must be done away with to pave way for real development and proper management of our lands.

  Tetteh Kwei again! This guy without principles and ditherer par excellance. Readers will recall that he was the guy who was supposed to help find a successor to Nii Amugi when he died in 2004, instead he jumped ship when he, the nai wulomo, b.a. tackie, aka nii akropong were given large sums of money by the then NPP government through the then accra mayor Agyiri- Blankson and greater accra regional minister I.C. Quaye. These names attempted to hnd over the chiefdom of the ga to one Dr Joseph Blankson-Lartey, and for 5 long years caused mayhem in Accra.
  Today, their coup had been quashed and all the bad people who helped Joseph Blankson are dead, out of office, have apologized to the present ga authorities or become a minority group who just cannot believe they were defeated by the will and spirit of the ga people during 5 years of their pathetic charade of being in charge of the ga affairs.
  Anybody who takes Tetteh Kwei serious must ask the reason he went on air to denounce joseph blankson lartey as a afraid accompanied by the sakumo wulomo only for him to backstab the latter and join forces with the bad ones. Was it because of the 200million cedis given to him in 2007, which he complained wasn't enough on hearing that the then nai wulomo was given 400million? By the way, it was topped up by joseph blanksons people to keep him on board. having refused to be the dsaase tse which called for a new one why is he calling himself one now when all and sundry know that a dsaase tse has enstooled a ga mantse since 2011 in the person of Adama Latse, who has brought peace to Accra? Tetteh Kwei should just stick to the castlebridge and leave the ga alone.
