United we stand, divided we fall – Warning to Kumawu Ananangya royal family

In Mark 3:24-25, Jesus says, “24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot stand. 25 If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand”. Today, Friday, 9 March 2018, when I was on my way to the barber’s shop to have my hair trimmed, I chanced upon a newspaper. One of the news items was captioned, “United we stand”. Straightaway, the ongoing malignity within the Kumawu Ananangya royal family dawned on me like a thunderbolt.

It is true, both from the biblical point of view and from empirical observations among people and homes that when there is a misunderstand among family members leading on to division among them, that family, house or nation, disintegrates without being able to stand as a force to reckon with. Look at how the Arab countries like Libya, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, and Afghanistan are being destroyed beyond repair because of division among its tribes and regions.

Similarly, the Kumawu Ananangya royal family for malicious reasons bordering on sheer stupidity and malevolence emanating from the Ghanaian evil-mindedness of, “if I can’t have it, nobody else should have it”, the family is not making any headway in their efforts to wrestle their birth-right throne from the Kumawu Ankaase royal family.

There is a faction within the Ananangya royal family spearheaded by one devil incarnate called Madam Berhene and her son Osei Yaw and her brother Yaw Boamah. They are wielding an axe with intent to put the family asunder. They are doing this on instigation by one so-called Lady “Nchanga” Switzerland or Lady Israel who explicitly claims that every important thing, if there is any at all, in Kumawu, was brought by her deceased father. Her mad infatuation with this spurious claim coupled with her desire to have 10% of the wealth of Kumawuman as her father’s share for helping bring everything to Kumawu, and to become the throne’s wife to Osei Yaw in future, has pushed her to fill the head of Osei Yaw with falsehoods hence their perpetration of evilness with the potency to cost the Ananangya’s their birth-right, thus, the paramount throne of Kumawu.

Do they care as long as they have by their actions proved themselves to be in the category of that woman who was fervently pleading with King Solomon to cut the baby taken before him into two halves; one half to her and the other half to the other woman who was also claiming the baby to be hers. She indeed wanted the baby killed because the child was indeed not hers. Subsequently, King Solomon decided the baby went to the other woman who was crying and pleading with the King not to kill the baby but to rather give it to the other woman. In the end, King Solomon gave the child to the woman who was asking for it not to be killed. Read 1 Kings 3:16-28 for the full story.

Had it not been the love God has for the person He has anointed to be Kumawuhene from the Ananangya royal family, He would have abandoned them left to Berhene and her co-conspirators alone. Every action and step of theirs is pure evil. They are colluding with Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Kumawuhemaa Nana Abenaa Serwaah Amponsah and Dr Yaw Sarfo to deprive the person designated by Him, God, from the Ananangya royal family to be the chief. How stupid could they be!

As many former supporters of the Ananangyas are abandoning them in droves because of the length of time it is taking for God’s purpose for them to fully materialise coupled with the machinations by Berhene and Co., God is steadfastly behind His appointed one from the family. It is this belief and my personal dedication to help the innocent but needy persons as well as to fight for the truth that makes me do still support the Ananangyas.

Additionally, the Ananangyas and the Odumases have been sitting on their ass without doing anything for far too long. They are still expecting manna to rain from him to feed them. They are still waiting on God to deliver justice to them on a silver platter while having their arse glued to the chair without making any move of any sort. This is not the way forward. They do not understand when the bible talks about faith and works going hand in hand to realise an objective.

Barima Tweneboa Kodua V has tried his hardest but now that he is in some sort of temporary limbo for a good reason, the rest of his family is like sheep without shepherd.

Do they understand at all the proverb, “Once bitten twice shy”? I am completely disgusted at the wait and see attitude by the Ananangyas. They are to get off their bloody arse and be doing. They are worse than cowards hence the way Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the crook, has been colluding with some people to maltreat them by taking away from them their throne to be given to the Kumawu Ankaase royals for good. He claims the Ankaases are of the same matrilineal descent as Barima Tweneboa Kodua I, the originator of the Kumawu Kodua Stool. What a fallacy and absolute rubbish!

The Ananangyas and the Odumases are to wake up from their slumber. They have been sleeping for far too long to be of any useful purpose in God’s drive to wrestle the throne from the Ankaases to restitute it to their rightful owners – the Ananangyas and the Odumases.

Let not Berhene and Co with their instigators deny you the throne. Do something to negate their evil agenda of “Se ebeko goal dee enka enko corner”, meaning, if her son Osei Yaw cannot ascend the throne from the Ananangya family, then it should forever stay with the Ankaases.

As long as the Almighty God lives, Berhene has failed and she will forever fail in her evilness. Lady Switzerland will reap the bitter fruits of the plant of discord she has planted within the Ananangya family. On her dying bed in future, she will plead for forgiveness but it might be too late. Now is the time for her to retreat from the path of wickedness she has embarked on to seek the face of God in forgiveness of sins.

Shame on all those causing division within the Anananagya family with intent to cost the God’s appointed one the throne. Whatever they do, God’s plans for him will materialise no matter how long it takes.
