Otumfuo should wait till Nana Addo is president, that is when he will start paying homage to the Okyehene. Did anybody forget that the first official assignment Akuffo Addo did when he became the presidential candidate in 2007 december was to go and launch a book titled "The Great Akyem Kingdom". Pls try and get a copy of the book and see the content Nana sanctioned.

SOURCE : Class fm online.com---------
Ghana is paying six times its total oil revenue as interest on the country’s total public debt stock; that’s the computation done by former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
“We’ll reach GHC99billion by the end of this year 2015,” the Running Mate to the Flagbearer of the biggest opposition Party said in a post-budget presentation interview with Richard Sky of Citi FM.
“The interest on this debt alone is going to be six times Ghana’s oil revenue,” Dr Bawumia said.
“When we found oil, we were happy that we found oil, but the borrowing of this Government has compromised the whole oil discovery; you need six times our oil revenue just to pay interest on the debt, not even capital, so, it is a really sad development,” he complained.

Do you think Asantehene and Asanteman want Nana as an Akyem to come and raise okyenhene over Asantehene if he wins? Okyenhene is already showing how he deeply hate Mahama whereas Asantehene is showiing wisdom by keeping quiet on political issues, hence being seen by some as NDC.

We shouldn't forget it has been a sequence of problems ever since "atopa hene" sat on the throne. We all know the collection of the important gold that got lost in Europe. The important sword recently vanished from the historical shrine. We have whitnessed all sorts of abuse to the throne especially the disrespect of the people. This Kwaku Dua has had many altercations with some sub chiefs and some nieghbouring chief's of Brong Ahafo. A king dancing "yentie obiaa" while his people are sidelined by government appointments; He does nothing to help but rather hide behind the scenes of politics all because he can enjoy Air Force One flight from the lawless president. As I speak, Fulani with the cows have now replaced Agogo people. Tafo town was sieged by those bastards and less could he do. Ever since Kwaku Dua became a king, no occation he has not disrespect and disgraced Akans and Asanteman as a whole. I hope as much as he has grown "horns" he wouldn't step on the wrong foot of Kuntunkunuku Nananom.

Everyone knows the history of the so-called Asantehene. Drug dealing thief. He fled from Canada and so many of his own subjects hate him and would have his head if they could. If you go to Akyemland, you get up and observe protocol. Even when the US president visited Ghana, he observed protocol. Why did the Asantehene's entourage try to make peace later on but were snubbed? Because they knew they had stepped out of line and their boss wouldn't approve. It is called respect. Respect and humility. Something Ashantes and Akyem in general lack. Has it not occured to you that all the people who have served as president of Ghana have humility and respect for culture? Keep the arrogance up, we will advise ourselves.

ANY STUBORNNESS IS AGAINST THE ASANTEHENE AND NOT THE GUARDIAN ,OKYEHENE ON HIS LANDS. NANAMON MIGHT HAVE APOLOGISED WITH A SEVERVE APOLOGY FROM THE ASAMPOHENE TO HIS KING. BY THE WAY , THOSE IDIOTS WHO THINK OKYEHENE IS ILLITERATE BECAUSE OF CHIEFTANCY SHOULD KNOW THAT OSAGYEFO BARIMAH HAD ALL HIS EDUCATION IN THE UNITED STATES. HE IS MORE AFRICAN AMERICAN THAN A GHANAIAN. HIS LOVE FOR HIS AKYEM KINGDOM OBLIGES HIM TO HONOUR HIS ANCESTRAL TRADITIONS. SO DONT BE STUPIDS, YOU SENSELESS IDOITS TO THINK THESE MEN AND WOMEN ARE OF DARK AGES. ..

This situation is what NDC is looking for. To bring a.clash between Akyems and Ashantis. They are looking for such situation that can always say something to offend either of them to bring a clash between them. They don't want them to be united. They should know that it is only when they are united that they can win the battle. Already they have put into the Northerners and the Ewes that Ashantis don't like them so they should advise themselves when voting. In fact it has worked for them. They are using some Akans who are influencing their chiefs with our own resources to entice them to always say something nice for them anytime they get the opportunity. Such chiefs must be very careful and take away the element of selfishness from them and fight for the interest of their subjects.

WE NEED TO DELEGATE RESPECT TO ALL OUR CHIEFS AS THEY ARE PART OF OUR CULTURE AND TRADITION.... NONE SHOULD BE ABOVE THE OTHER, ESPECIALLY ON THEIR OWN LAND!!!

Don't expose your uncultured character here: This is a simple cultural etiquette even BEFORE the introduction of the European "democracy". In the presence of passing about of a Paramount Chief, ALL non-Chiefs in an audience stand up, so Nana Asantehene's delegation was wrong to refuse to accord Okyenehene that ceremonial and customary respect. In reverse, Okyenhene's delegates would accord same to Asantehene.

He banned some NDC officials not to go to his palace, he also went on to claim government did not appoint anyone from from his area even they point Omane Boamah as one from his area. Now he is fighting the Asantehene? do you have to force another Kingdom to bow before you? that same Patapa is what Nana Ado is having that is why Ghanaians are refusing him. Just imagine what will happen to Ghana should Nana and his Akyems mistakenly be elected. You Ghanaians will have to bow before every single Akyem.

In this case if you're excluding Otumfor then I don't think his representative/s did anything wrong. If Okyenhene felt any disrespect, there was a best way he should have handled it by calling Asantehene for clarification but to allow his boys to do that shows bad leadership. Respect is earned but not taken.

there is no law that says one chief must stand for another at any gathering more at a funeral where the occasion is supposed to be sober.blame nobody except kuffour for this unfortunate occurences.under his watch parliament passed the chieftancy act that says that "there shall be an asantehene and other chiefs".this implies that an asantehene is distinct from other chiefs as such is not even a member of ashanti regional house of chiefs nor national house of chiefs.what an anormally.this supposed superiority of the asantehene and therefore asanteman is fuelling tension in all sectors of our national life.you will recall that the same issue occurred at burial of the chief of amanokrom the former chancellor of university of Ghana.the akyems also tried to lauched the royal akyem kingdom and referred to okyehene as king.this has played into npp politics with the fear that if nana wins all attention traditionally will shift from asantehene to okyehene.you may recalled the now defunct party-reformed patriotic front-a breakaway npp that wanted to pursue the Asante agenda.it the same current that is fuelling the nana-kuffour divide.

I questioned the truth of that article and surprisingly the story has disappeared. I have similar doubts that this story is a accurate and factual account of what happened at the Funeral.

You are not an akyem so stop this foolishness thinking it will help your president? No! Ghanaians are suffering and have no time for ndc tribal and religious wars, they are thinking of their conditions of life for the 8 useless ndc governance, Ghanaians are thinking of their future which is hopeless with ndc in power, the collapse of the NHIS which patients visiting the 37 military hospital have to pay half, the utility bills that are higher than rents, the astronomical taxes that is killing businesses, the no solution to unemployment especially to the leavers of our tertiary institutions, the cancellation of the allowances of the nurses and teacher trainees and the numerous problems confronting the nation created by this ndc with no brains to solve them, traders are crying of hardship, virtually everything has collapsed in the country and its only the ndc government that is enjoying and they think every Ghanaian lives good as they so are trumpeting things are better, we are on cause, I will put money in your pockets next year when the people are dying this year. What a government Ghana has? And you are here playing politics with no sense. I don't even think the Akyems would like you to be one of them because you are unwise.Akans don't talk the way you talk, that's not our style thats why we know you and where you come from when you talk.

RE: START THINKING.
I deplore your comment and your posture and I don't know where you come from. I can tell you right to your face that your stupidity knows no bounds. Ghanaians have excelled in every field of science and technology more than most nations in this world. I can prove to you today that the man who made it possible for you to spew your venomous garbage on this site is a Ghanaian. His name is Dr. Thomas Mensah for your information Google Dr. Thomas Mensah's inventions and you will come to realize that the man who invented the fiber optic technology that made it possible for 'picture to picture' technology and 'wifi' that everybody is enjoying in the world today is from that "tiny" West African nation that you are defaming today. He owns more than 7 patents for this technology. okay?

Traditional rivery at this time?the leader of the Asantehene should know better,under normal circumstances he's the guest of the Okyehene and should've call on him earlier at his palace before going to the funeral grounds,if he was supposed to stand traditionally and he refused,then he has disgrace the Asantehene.This ll not be the end for such gathering,it can happen at the other side too and how ll they feel if Okyehene,s delegation or himself refuse to obey such customs?respect is commanded you.In the north such things hardly happen,it's an honor for the overlord of the Gonja traditional to send a delegation to let's say Ya,Naa on an occasion and the other way round,and on such occasions they re well attended to as an extension of respect to the their respected kingdoms,so it should not be difficult for the Asantehene,s delegation to show respect to the Okyehene and he reciprocating atall since they were within his traditional area,you don't strip the chief naked publicly and attempt to cloth him in the room,so Asantehene should look into the matter and handle it maturedly.He shouldn't forget we all condermed Techimahene when he disgraced Tuabodomhene,the long standing revery between him and the Akyims must stop,we re not fighting for territory anymore,the wars that wast fought is past,our ancestors did it for them and now that they all ve their traditional bundries and authorities,there's no need for any acrimonious attitude towards each other again,today we re friends with the British and other countries who enslaved us for years,the killed many of our chiefs and took countless away to develop their country but today we re free,we ve put the past behind us and moved on,so why can't we do that with our black compatriot who re just a stone throw and speak the same language?,I'm so sad at this development,we don't ve to give polititians the opportunity to fan this fire,if we do so and the tables turn one day it ll bring us disgrace.

Two wrongs make no right, if they were sent by Asantehene and they refused to bow before Okyehene then the right person to complain to should be the Otumfuo who sent them. In this modern day you dont create needless tension by trying to attack a delegation sent by another King. The question is, were they going to attack and kill those sent by Asantehene if security was not at present? I personally find it irresponsible of Chief of Okyehene calibre. You dont just attack people because they did not bow before you, it is a shame.

Should the unlikely event that Akuffo Addo becomes the president after November 7, his first mission would be to elevate Okyehene above the Asantehene because his tribe conquered and killed the first Asantehene whose remains are still in the custody of the Akyems. These bush Akyems are still living in the old age mentality and forgetting that the world has moved forward into civilisation. I wonder what would have happened if the Asantehene himself has been present at JD's funeral. Would the Akyems also captured him and killed like the way they did to the founder of the Ashanti Kingdom? That was a total backwardness the Akyems shamelessly exhibited. This will adversely affect their man Akuffo Addo's votes in November. They should mark it, their cherished son is finished!

This should serve as a serious warning to all those educated but ignorant individuals who seek to install Nana Akufo-Addo over us in Ghana as our president that his utterances and collection of arrogant misfits will become a danger to us all. The Okyehene has been a vocal critic of president Mahama and has blood and tribal allegiance to Akufo-Addo. His guards are just as uncouth as he and will resort to violence to make their point and to show the power of an Akufo-Addo presidency, God forbid. Nana Akufo-Addo as a man is slowly losing his grip on the NPP, the Kyebi clan and akuapim citizens he wants to carry to the presidential finish line.
If the Okyehene has any sense of decorum and discipline he and his collection of dummies would have shown respect for Akufo-Addo by realizing theRe is a time and place for jostling for power; the dummies couldn't wait

ASEM BABADEBI. Is clear that The Soo Call Okyenhene didn't respect anybody in this land Ghana. Is because of Akufo Addo that is why he is not respect anybody even H. E . the President. The so call NPP leaders in Ashanti Region must understand that the traditionally Ashanti's didn't pay the homaged to Okyen tradition big no. So, they should think twice Akufu Addo can never be a President in this country because of their arrogance.

A chief does not stand up when a chief he does not owe allegiance arrives. For example, Juabenhene will never stand up because Okyenhene has arrived and vice versa.
In this case, the chief from Kumasi was representing Asantehene. In that capacity, he was right not to stand up.

interaction with Nana Akufo Addo?
You see that NOBODY is trying to foind oput whether then story is true, whereas everyone is jumping on the Akyem-Asante feyd bandwagon!
I urge the National Media Commision to investigate this report. If it is made up, it is extremely dangerous and the practice should be nipped in the bud with a serious fine plus repeated apologies to make everyone know what the radio station did wrong. Otherwise, one day, a radio station will tell us that Southerners are firing bazookas at Northerners and vice versa, and we shall STUPIDLY believe it and engage in civil war in Ghana.

The spectators looked in bewilderment as a Mosquito was chasing the Okyehene. The Okyehene, wearing a NPP t-shirt procured for him by none other than General mosquito, was furious that the Otumfuo's entourage failed to stand for him as he was running away from his new friend general Mosquito. calm finally prevailed when some courageous soul stepped in between the two sides. Okyehene could be seen pointing at his t-shirt and telling the entourage of Otumfuo that it stands the wrath of ALL-DIE-BE-DIE if it continues to be disrectful in his palace. Akufo-Addo nodded his head, as if to say, "Okyehene, I got your back".

Akyem itself is divided, we have the Kotoku's, Bosome and the Abuakwa's, the Abuakwa's sees themselves superior than the rest and even that, the other two doesn't recognized them as their lords. The Abuakwa people are arrogant and attention seekers hence its very obvious in their life style, example is their chief. It's clear in history that the Akyems were subjected to the Ashantes until the British invaded Ashanti, then they declared themselves free from Ashanti rule, had it not bn that, they will still be enriching Ashanti with their substances as in the past. The Abuakwa's are known to be trouble causers and runing away as always, they always lay in abush to kill Ashanti messangers and when the Ashantees retaliate, the Akyems as always runs for shelter under the British. The killing of Nana Otumfo) Opemso) Osei Tutu Ababio I, wasn't a battle between Asante and Akyem, they were fearful and cowards to face the Ashantees in battle, they just laid an ambush when they heard Opemso) was crossing the pra river to fight the Denkyira and the Fante alliance, and even that, it was the Bosome people who killed Opemso) not the Abuakwa's, the Bosome people are still occupying near the place as a proof. The Abuakwa stool is classified as paramount like Tepa, Offinso, Agogo Juaben etc, not even like Mampong, Asumegya, Kokofu. The Ashante Seat is a Dynasty

It is in the best interest of the Otumfour and his subjects to align himself with any government which comes to power, to bring development to his people and contribute to the sustainable development for the country as a whole. These continues accusations, insults and lambasting of the ASANTEHENE will never help Nana Addo become president. We all have a deep repugnance to how the economy and national afairs are been managed under the watch of the Mahama led administration but there is more to do on Nana Addo with the limited time available. We must work to earn everyone's(majority) vote including the ASANTEHENE. All hands must be on deck to be able to win the battle ahead. It is not mandatory and it wouldn't be right for the Great King to be a pro NPP King. Let us respect what God has made him, what he represents and cherish him and leave his name out of the dirty politics we do in this country.

the Okyehene walked into funeral celebration, expecting everyone to rise. All rose except the entourage of the Otumfuor. This angered the Okyehene and he demanded an explanation from the entourage of Otumfuor. The representative of Otumfuor then sent word to Okyehene, asking him who the hell is Osagyefo Amo Atia, he must bow to the Otumfuor. This further incensed the Okyehene, resulting in fisticuffs between the two sides, and the scene was ugly. needless to say, Otumfuor's representative, standing six feet tall, decked the much shorter Okyehene.

We shouldn't be wrong , in the land of Okyehene, the Ashantis have to stand up for them in their land, that's the right way.
But I don't think this should result to quarel, cause this is nothing

JackToronto,
Can you take us back into history? Who was this chief of the Ashantis in question?
I know it was someone called Osei Tutu Opemsoo [1701 to 1717] but was he really murdered by the Akyems? That I don't know.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu I died in one of the Denkyira wars not what that idiot is trying to put out here. The Asantes defeated the Denkyiras during Otumfuo Opoku Ware I reign. Opoku Ware I succeeded his uncle Osei Tutu I
He was beheaded b the akyems...that is why they don't want Nana addo to be prez

There are hierarchies in everything.
The harmony of nature is rooted in the hierarchical order of things.
You won't succeed fighting that or trying to impose your order.
The Asantehene only takes a bow to GOD.

Wherever and whenever the word ashanti is mentioned there is no peace. Sometimes i wonder. Can somebody tell me why? I need answers.

They feel proud cos they are the rulers in Ghana , must someone tell u this before u understand
