Lady Tyson" Returns from South Africa to Kumawu after Honeymoon

I really get upset when Kumawuhemaa saunters through the streets of Accra in a vaunting air of superiority while her town is in total ruins. She recently returned from South Africa from a probable secret honeymoon with her super soul mate, only to come to reassure her confidants that the Kumawu paramount Stool will stay with her. "It is going nowhere", she had said. She reaffirmed to them her earlier assurances that the Kumawu chieftaincy wrangling will never be resolved unless she is peacefully and unconditionally allowed to nominate and enthrone the person of her own choice. Her choice of candidate she said is from the Ankaase royal family.

Hold on a minute, are the Ankaases the true paramount royals of Kumawuman? Is she not hallucinating a bit? How could she say this after all my revealing write-ups about her origin as published in the e-print? She has regained absolute confidence to boast of the possibility of her installing the successor to the late Barimah Asumadu Sakyi II, the paramount chief of Kumawuman. "Tofiakwa", she can only choose an Ankaase royal to succeed Barimah Asumadu Sakyi II as an Ankaase family member but not as the paramount chief of Kumawu. Whoever gave her that assurance is only pulling her legs.

I am beginning to believe certain secrets Kumawuhemaa reveals to her confidants. She could not have come by them and got them so right without the backing of someone higher up. Who could the person be? Your guess is as right as mine is.

Anyway, why has she not counteracted the "Asantehene's Ntamkese" invoked on her for all these three to four years if she was any genuine paramount royal with absolute knowledge of Kumawuman paramount history? Is her failure to do so not a sign of defeat and cowardice in its highest?

By the way, why is it that in most circumstances a Ghanaian competing with a rival would seek to get rid of his or her opponent through spiritualism/juju? Some people have made many such attempts on others with that pain in other's arse, John Fosu, inclusive as a victim. Luckily, by the grace of God, the perpetrators have failed at each such attempt and will continue to fail. John Fosu and the like minds are for the better of Kumawuman so no weapon against them shall stand.

Unfortunately, some people including one Nana Poku and some K.K of the "Gyidi" Faith have made themselves available to Kumawuhemaa for common cause. I wish them good but not bad luck in their newfound task. Kumawu Kontrihene has not long ago taken some White men to show the Kumawman lands in the Afram Plains. According to the gathered information, the Whites are testing the soil for possible gold prospecting and mining. As usual, he has taken some money from them. Kontrihene is not leaving any stone unturned when it comes to abusing his authority in pursuit of wealth. Let me assure him that, "Quick buck goes as quick as it comes"

Kumawuhemaa should challenge the oath so invoked on her if really she is that "Lady Tyson" with agility in the ring coupled with chirpy mouth. She sits on the Traditional Council meeting only to insult those sub-chiefs she thinks are not on her side in her fight to perpetually usurp the paramount throne from the Ananangyas and the Odummases.

One Ananangya person resident in the US is of the intention to undermine God's good plan for the Abnanangya/Odumase royal families. He is league with Kumawuhemaa to sabotage his own people and Kumawuman. I will name and shame him one of these days. He knows himself. Has he not married a Kumawu woman all for dubious reasons?

Until the dust settles, John Fosu and the progressives will never rest. (Good better best. May I never rest, until my good is better, and my better best). Kumawuhemaa, here we come.
