    Mr Adofo, you fail to mention the Education Endowment Fund, the mansions in UK and SA. Otumfuo should live beyond reproach.

    I think it is the great stool that is being respected not the person of Kwaku Dua.

    Kwaku Dua is not the rightful occupant of the golden stool. Ofori Apenteng should have been the successor. To set the record straight,we have to make sure that the next and future Asantehene should be pure and 100% full blood ...

  • Kofi Kyei 10 years ago

    He bought a 4 million pounds mansion in the UK while most Ashantis live in shanty towns. This mansion has since been unoccupied. This does not make sense. Where did he get the mony from.

    He sells gold and cocaine. See what ...

    In the Akan system we do not operate a system of primogeniture. In other words the one who be King is known like the British crown where the first son becomes the automatic heir to the throne. Ours is elective as well as sele ...

    We live in FM and Facebook era which have become tools to spread rumors and unsubstantiated stories about powerful people. Even the royal family in England are not spared!!!

  • Theo 10 years ago

    That is your cup of tea. You can accuse your chief - Asante hene of all the wrong doings - from cocaine to corruption, but please, don't involve Atuguba in your stupid rantings.

    You accuse the Asantehene of failure to take court action against his accusers. You also qoute Haile Selassie on the triumph of evil as a result of inaction by good people. Yet you cannot take the simple act of belief in your ...

    Please do not attack the the messenger, Rockson is only telling the truth.

  • KO 10 years ago

    Rockson you a coward. Stop insultng Asantehene. The fact that the Kumawu case did not go your way, doesn't mean you should call people names. Come home and take asantehene to court if you believe you have a case.
