  • GHANA IS A BIG JOKE OF A GRAND PONZI SCHEME AND A PERFECT ANIMALS' KINGDOM! 1 year ago

    GHANA'S GOVERNMENTS AND THE BLACK STARS ARE PONZI SCHEMES.

    PONZI SCHEME SIMPLY MEANS ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL

    CRIMINAL OFFENCES LIKE CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND MERIT DO NOT EXIST IN GHANA.

    What did they go there to do? What the lady said wasn't disrespectful. She only stated the truth but as we all know, the Ashantis claim Otumfuo is god and doesn't commit any mistakes. They issued apology both on live TV and s ...

    Praising a lady for her courage to insult the elderly, who can be her father, not even talking about being Asantehene. What a curse on her and you who is supporting her. Go and read the Bible

    Who make you think you can disrespect your elders whilst seeking to please God .As long as Afia pokua has not been forgiven it means she has not been forgiven by God as well.don’t offend man and ask forgiveness from God.

    The issue of tribal superiority is becoming a fertile ground for potential civil war in GH. We've seen it in Ruwanda and other countries. Care should be taken.

  • Common Sense Ghanaian 1 year ago

    I have no idea where this sudden Ashanti imperialism is coming from. If we allow such parallel authority and self aggrandizement to take root in the country, we're on our way to internal tribal strife which could easily be le ...

    Sudden? Cor blimey! Where have you been all these years? These asante imps with overblown egos and no sense have always been uncouth, uncivilised and uncircumcised

  • GHANABA 1 year ago

    Why the heck should this journalist subject herself to something so unconstitutional? For heaven's sake she is protected by free speech and if anyone thinks they have been insulted they can go to court. Media houses must stan ...

    IT IS BECAUSE EVEN YOUR CONSTITUTION IS SUBJECT TO YOUR TRADITIONS AND CULTURE. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW APART FROM THE CONSTITUTION ALL CUNTOMARY LAWS ARE ALSO RECOGNIZED AS LAWS OF GHANA AND THEY WILL BE UPHELD BY ANY COURT.

  • Ex-Pope 1 year ago

    This isn't about culture, for the while scene is an exhibition of senseless bullying to placate a paramount chief/king, in an attempt to deify a mere mortal wishing to be worshipped. I wonder how those palace feel feel whenev ...

  • KkY 1 year ago

    God never blesses people who disrespect and insult the elderly who are the age of their fathers. Go and read your Bible well

  • The Voltarian 1 year ago

    This Ashanti chief is a clown, he's more interested in his image than the carnage and destruction happening in his shit-hole region.

  • KkY 1 year ago

    If you choose not to revere your Chief and someone decides to revere and respect his or hers, what is your problem, the skin pain, the jealousy, the hatred and the nonsense must stop

  • Bonkers 1 year ago

    She also spoke about the Chiefs sitting there while politicians like Wontumi pollute land and water bodies anyhow with mining equipment. That's the most important aspect that the reporter didn't capture. These Chiefs have fou ...

    Nothing but a clown show. No chief in Ghana is above reproach. Leveling criticisms at the Asantehene isn't an of disrespect or an insult. What makes the Asantehene and his staff to believe that the Asantehene can criticize ot ...
