I am sad this is happening. It means the inventor has not patented it. It is however, not too late so far as people know who invented it. I advice that the originator patents his idea so others don't use cheaper materials to cause problems and dislike for such a brilliant solution.

...So anyways, Fufu is not a delicacy, it is one of our several bad habits we just can't get rid of. Why the hell do you have to beat Yam, Plantain, Cassava to death before consuming it with glee and germs? You know in many parts of the world, nations have many disgusting delicacies but they keep it where they found it. They don't falsely make it seem like a national delicacy. The most disgusting part is the shear ignorance of eating this nasty paste along with a liquid (soup) with their hands. A country wear clean water is scare and hand washing is a curriculum in Universities, I have always suggested people use spoons. Please white people did not invent utensils. Even monkeys use tools sometimes. We have taken our creative primitive past to its abyss. The good news with me is that in Ghana, when majority of the natives love something, then you know you are better of being on the opposite side.

If you can survive Accra(GH) without engaging in so many abominable habits, I tell you...You've Gotta Be Superhuman!

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 "Cassava" and if you want to go faster say "Plantain"

So they were getting it on and she was screaming "Cassava, Cassava, Plantain, Cassava, Plantain, Plantain"

Suddenly the younger brother (on the bottom bunk) said

"Could you stop making Fufu your getting Groundnut Soup on me"!

Ashante I know do not like any artificial, superficial stuff. They always seek what was, when it comes to eating. They prefer the pounding stick for fufu. I was like that too sometime past, until changes affected me.

Atleast the machine is an innovation to look into for an improvement at ease. The pounders shall reserve their strength, and think about it hygiene. Sometimes their sweat get in the way into the fufu.

This is the trend our society should anticipate to improve on living. Building innovaters to foster our developments, instead looking for help all the time from those who study us to take advantages over us. Let study ourselves to add improments to our lives.
Bravo kumase magazine. You can do more toaid the country in so many ways. Especially the blacksmith and welders. Build boats, watercrafts and farm tools using batteries. The university electronic engineers could lead to these foundings.

What they started could not be resolved unless they get what they want, maybe my blood as a sheep of Salvation. They do not want the blood of Master Savior. Time and time is due and they are still into their fabrications, distortions and lies on life. Their development is too much into their heart to think god or lordship of daniel under Nezzer. Constitution to eliminate Nezzer does not change the whole biblical setups, even if you try to change, else the bible becomes the wrong book of Creator God Almighty. Why pushing this on wrongful family? USA is the kingdom of God. Does this makes you happy? Therefore, the president becomes Savior of Freedoms on earth. Just to appease you guys and gals.

Waring for power and might, USA innovating for movvements or transportations. U K/ france for sexual reproductions in slavery and mix breeds, where HBO and JJ became casualties of black and white or good and evil respectfuly. It is always in that order black and white or good and evil. I did not make that. It has been before I was born onto this earth. Black and white, good and evil.

Out of darkness cometh light. If something is light in this situation the light should be white skin not black skin. If HBO is devil, it would probably the light side of his blood. Anular eclipse.

As in Britain the oldest surviving kingdom of post ancient power. Their current setups is combinations of all transitions, as of Saudi Arabia. Ghana is quite maginalised under Presidency, because of Dr Kwame Nkrumah's conitions emerging from numerous kings and chieves of various tribes, though the ASHANTI have a case of legitimate position like Queen of England. Before Amrado, they reign over large area of west Africa. You better acknowledge that old fool.

Good innovation ! We want more of this inventions on the continent of Africa. I hope, Nigerians who eat "pounded-yam" will eventually patronize it. Good work done, Suame-Magazine.

Please get rid of this machine because it will increase the number of people eating the stupid food called "fufu". Fufu is the greatest killer - carbohydrate, which gives diabetes. The civilized world is avoiding eating carbohydrates and we are now inventing machine to produce it. Please my Ashanti people eat good foods to leave long.

This whole idea of laziness in pounding tells how stupid people think. Why don't they walk to Accra from Kumasi?? People in the world are always developing technology to help humans to do tasks easily, yet we are still stuck with the old 500 years ago method. If we encourage these Suame people, they can refine it and make it simpler and better with time. That's the way to go

Suame people have done well to imitate. I know the first practical FUFU Machine was very neat, portable and hygienic.It appeared in Graphic in 2011, and was made by an engineer in Koforidua Polytechnic.Why can't they consult him for assistance? Can't the president, the minister for youth and employment or the minister for science, technology and innovation say AYEKOO to such a person ,and even find out if there are other research ideas he has to help us again. I even suggest the original machine be kept at the musuem to promote tourism. Thank you mr Abban(aka,ENGINEER ONE) of K'dua Poly for opening the way to create many Jobs for the unemployed youth.

You see this this is what I expect the companies like JOY DADDY, KASAPREKO, MTN, TIGO, GTZ, SDF, YES, VODAFONE, BARCLAYS, GUINESS, USAID, DANIDA, GERMAN EMBASSY, UK EMBASSY, NESTLE, COCA COLA, and all patriotic citizens of Ghana to be supporting, instead of spending wastefully on sports, entertainment and boxing that have no lasting benefits. I think the minister for science technology and innovation or even his excellency the president himself should quickly take the initiative to support this engineer. This will encourage many of such talents to show them. It will also place emphasis on technical and vocational education that they are promoting. Thanks a lot for bringing this topic up.
