Foolish advise,...why should she roll on the floor and weep when everything she said was the truth. Who are those who advised her to go and beg in the first place??? Anyway, Afia must use this knew found noterieity to her advantage, now the whole Ghana knows her, and if she is smart she can open her own youtube forum and speak controversially and make a lot of money. In Ghana, where the nation has reached the only improvement that can come to the nation is by people who can speak bodly without fear to anyone.

Nonsense. Who are these asantes at all that we can't breathe in this shithole of a country called Ghana? Mona and Afia made a mistake in the first place to have gone there. No juju can affect them. That ugly bearded kidnapper granting interviews and threatening everybodyshould be made to understand that we live in a civilised era where there is nothing like an executioner, as he seems to be portraying himself to be. Rubbish.

We are in a democratic state and things as such shouldn't be tolerated. If Nana found a place in his heart to forgive Wontumi whose ego would not allow him to go down on his knees to show remorse and also had an accusation which was more serious, then how much more this poor lady. Secondly, I think the elders had their day and vented their spleens on the lady which alone should have caused them to accept her apology and not to curse her. What is good for the geese is good for the gander.

ASANTES AND TRIBALISM IN GHANA….

When the lady was summoned to Manhyia, the elders interrogated her about her tribe. She identified herself as Kwahu.

However, the elders pressed on, inquiring about her parents' origins and refusing to acknowledge her Kwahu heritage.

They went further, attempting to impose their own narrative about her roots, linking her to Krobo, Ewe, or FraFra. Their ultimate motive was clear: to undermine her identity. To what end was their questions even if she was Krobo, Ewe or Frafra. That was extreme Tribalism.

Yesterday, she boldly exposed Manhyia's entrenched tribalism. The very headquarters of tribalism was laid bare.

Primitive chiefs sitting and judging people of modern generations. What is the wisdom in the chief asking Akua Pokua to roll on the floor before the elders and weep profusely to seek sympathy from the elders during her apology which was not even accepted. These chiefs must be ashamed of themselves because of the disgrace they put Akua through. If they claim to have wisdom, their attitude proved contrary and they must apologize to the lady for the treatment she received. It was beyond belief that that one of the chiefs asked Pokua to go away with the curse and experience what ever befalls her. That is ridiculous and lack wisdom. Many noble people and leaders have been insulted including our own president but nobody was ridiculed for such behavior. Moreover Ghana has freedom of speech and the leaders can not gag anyone. These elders have disgraced themselves. The Asantehene would not have done what they did to the lady

One day we shall all stand before the king of kings to give an account of our lives. There we shall see who's the king of the universe. If she was an Ashanti, would they have refused her apology? I'm just asking a question. Did Odike apologize for his offensive comments? And did anyone hold him accountable? The lady spoke in a disrespectful manner and must be made to pacify the elders but not treated like a slave. Why must she kneel in the first place? What kind country is this?

And why are they linking the whole issue to Krobo, Ewe and Frafra, meaning they are trying to undermine these tribes or what are they insinuating.
This is exactly what they are saying and they (Ashanti's) are finding it difficult to take it.
"Claiming superiority over other tribes in the country"
They should note that it will never hold today or in the future.
When they respect other tribes, other tribes will also respect them in their Ashanti region out of the Sixteen Regions in the country but when they do otherwise, other tribes will also do otherwise.
Personally I respect Asantehene like I do for Ga-Mantse, Dormahene and other kings in the other Regions.

Asanteman and its chiefs should have ignored Afia Pokua and her infamous comments. This is because, the kingdom should be way too big to respond to the comments of a caricature, if she is one.

Then Otumfour would, scornfully, put his left hand on her head and say, "you did not know what you were saying. Go and fool no more."
Then the "king" would be accorded more praise, power and superiority for not killing a poor ant with a sledge hammer.

Now it is being established that the little girl has shaken the foundations of Asanteman, with the head of its chiefs reeling in defeat.

Why do you give such a "nobody" all this publicity by rejecting her apologies. You are making her more popular, if not famous.
