Kwaku Dua, you are the one who's killing Asanteman. Destool yourself for prosperity to return to Asanteman. You have debased the golden stool with your actions, Kumasi now looks like a big village without a town planning committee. All open space like playing ground, football fields, Sofoline palamu, Amakom roundabout children's park are gone because you sold every and anything you can lay your hands on.If your predecessor had done what you are doing to Kumasiman and Asanteman in general would there have been anything left for you? For you, greediness is the order of the day, confiscating people's legitimate properties unless they pay you huge sums of money is disgraceful to the stool you occupy.

Is there any wise man among the Asante council to tell this narcissistic and deluded King that he is the problem and not the Asante Chiefs or the people?

What did we do to deserve this spoiled brat as the King of the Golden Stool? He is always in the news for the wrong reason. What nonsense is this?

And some idiotic Asantes blame the age of youtube, facebook and smartphones or social media for what is happening. If the King does not know the age we are in to behave accordingly, then he has no business leading Asanteman.

Y'abre wo, Kwaku Dua! He how lies with dog rises with fleas as the saying goes.

What a shame!Even people who claim they existed before Ghana haven’t gotten their act together and are still fighting for chieftaincy sake then how do you expect the new upcoming kingdoms to act? It is these same Asantes who quickly come on the web to insult northerners for fighting. Now the Asantes who insult northerners for fighting understand why people fight?
Frankly,Even people who still believe in a golden stool that fell from the sky and the rest are still backward. Asantes are still in the year before Christ. Learn to respect other tribes because others also see you as backwards no matter how long you have been in existent! Your King is not the problem, your attitude is the problem. Most of you Asante shi shi people the problem. you are only blaming your king because is is non-partison. leave him alone.

this strong odum wooden kitchen stool did not come from the sky as we are forced to believe,it was carved by a TOGOLESE EWE carpenter at anloga called "EFO kofi va me dunu"for kitchen use only,and adorned with gold ornaments by a mossi/buzanga/frafra men, and this has now become an important piece in Ashanti history.?,that is why ewes/northerners are being worshipped in kumasi.the stool is specially made out of a stronge odum wood,it is really an important relic of ashanti history,so we have to by force cherish it as Ghanaians/Africans.

I don't think he did these alone there were elders who supported him,the people of Asanteman shd let him account for these.Not only that the huge royalties he's been collecting from the state shd also be accounted for.

The Asantehene cannot account for the 35 million dollars the World Bank gave him for the poor kids in Ashanti. The Otumfour Fund he created has no bank account and there had never been a published audited account so no one knows what he has done with all the money donated for the Otumfour Fund.

What happened in Oslo Norway proved that he has been selling our gold whenever he travels and has never accounted for the money. He is not transparent

Do we really need such things? Who is not proud of his tribe? Asanteman is no more force to reckon with. Still the old backward mentality. The BRONGS have separated from Asante from asanateman, of course they are not asantes.

Since you cannot spell Asanteman, could you please pronounce mirrow in Asante Twi and put it on YouTube? After that could you say "Hwidiem?" This is your basic test to see if you are even qualified to talk about Asanteman.

Follow the footsteps of your late ancestor,Otumfuo Nana Osei Kwadwo,the "Okoawiah"! Too many people,including some members of your inner circle[the "Adehyey3 and "Ahenenana",are neck-deep,in this fruitless effort to debase your authority,and hence the Golden Stool! Their vane attempts WILL NEVER SUCCEED;and I believe the time has come for you to abandon your 'Mr. Nice Guy' image. The very people who came to you in the dead of night,begging you to use your influence to get them out of "troubles",are the same persons or groups[the Amambofuo],who have joined forces with 'outsiders',to cause you grief! Some of us know who these individuals or groups are,so Nana "Woadaworma",cut these all these saboteurs loose. Otumfuo Osei Tutu Ababio,"Wonkwaso daa"!

From the readings I made from Rockson's articles, this Kumawuhemaa has been on the throne for some time now. She has never done any single act in Kumawuman that speaks of development - nothing. She is now talking about development objectives. If she has any development programmes for Kumawuman, she should publish that on Ghanaweb for the people of Kumawu Traditional Area to see. It is easier said than done. She knows nothing about development. All she knows is just "chop, chop, & chop money" and that is all.

Thank you.
