Your man lost. Let matters lie and devote your energies building Kumawuman under Dr. Sarfo.

Those of us who have seen the video of the proceedings at Manhyia struggle to understand your point, as your articles becomes more strident and your claims and insults more outrageous.

Nobody lives forever, your chance will come again, until then chill man!

I am not an Asanti but I follow this case for scholarly purpose and historically Dormass and Kumawus are brotherly link. Kumawus belong to Aduana Clan just as Dormass.

I have watched the video and I am at a loss to understand very well of my brothers who are in opposition. Please, sink your differences to embrace the one who has been accepted by Asanteman. Chieftaincy disputes destroy a lot of progress.

It is time for all Akan Chiefs to come together to unite all Akans We are a dorminant force. We have allowed foreigners who supposedly claim to be Ghanaians to divide us at our own detriment.Akans, open your eyes to see the direction of Ghana. A word to a wise is enough.

Please, I appeal to all parties involve in this case to use peaceand respect to settle this dispute

Ghana is a Republic, a nation state of different nationalities, Nzima, Ahanta, Wassaw, Fante, Akyem, Dagomba, Fafra, Ewe, Ga, Mamprusi, Brong etc, to mention a few, all embodied in the Republic of Ghana. The chief or communit ...

Ghana is a Republic, a nation state of different nationalities, Nzima, Ahanta, Wassaw, Fante, Akyem, Dagomba, Fafra, Ewe, Ga, Mamprusi, Brong etc, to mention a few, all embodied in the Republic of Ghana. The chief or community head, or tribal leader, Nene, Ohene, Fiaga, or ceremonial head of any of these groupings could neve assume the title of Head of State of the Republic Ghana. If a group of people, see themselves as more equal Ghanaians than others, I think that is a dagerous precedence. Unfortunately, our education system has not addressed these issues of, people putting one ethnic group abvoe the other in the country they have co-existed for millinia. Skirmishes, civil strife, pogroms, wars that these metalities and actions lead to are evident in Liberia, Cote D' Ivoire, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, DR Congo, Chad etc. When we love Ghana where every citizen treats each other as equals, every ethnic group treats each other as equals with respect, we would live in harmony till posterity. Many Thanks.

The asantehenes powers must be curbed. He is becoming too political. He should be advised on the limits of his powers, and that's within the Asante region. He is setting a dangerous precedent by interfering in political affairs.
He a king to the Asantes and not Ghana, John Mahama should take note of this. KWAKU DUA can do what he wants in Kumawu and the Asante region, but not the rest of Ghana.

Do you think you have passed? The writer said Ghana is a democracy not a monarchy. He did not say they can't exist at the same time. Asantehene has no right to control any other part in Ghana other than is given area. The man is behaving like a president. His monarch ends in his area and not the whole Ghana

THE ASANTEHENE IS GETTING OUT OF HAND, BECOMING TOO POLITICAL, HE MUST BE STOPPED. GHANA HAS A CONSTITUTION, KINGS AND CHIEFS MUST SEPARATE FROM FROM POLITICS.
THE ASANTEHENE SHOULD STOP POKING HIS NOSE IN OTHER CHIEFS AFFAIRS.

JOHN FOSU IS DRIVING A GOOD POINT HOME. THE ASANTEHENE POKING NOSE IN PEOPLES BUSINESS, WHILE LETTING HAD CRIMINALS TAKE OVER KUMASI. HE SHOULD SOLVE AND BRING KUMASI TO PEACE AND TRANQUILLITY, THAN INTERFERING, WHERE HE SHOULDN'T. HIS AREA OF INFLUENCE SHOULD BE MADE CLEAR TO HIM, WITHIN ASHANTI REGION AND NOT BEYOND. HE IS GOING COUNTER TO GHANAS CONSTITUTION "CHIEFTAINCY INTERFERENCE IN POLITICS" HE SHOULD BE STOPPED AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE.
JOHN FOSU IS RIGHT, THE ASANTEHENE IS FULL OF CRIMINAL SCANDALS. ITS RATHER UNFORTUNATE, YOU ASANTES CANNOT DO ANYTHING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. YOUR KING, NOT MY KING- THE ASANTE KING- IS A CROOK.

It is only in your knucklehead that Asantehene is incapable of effective and wise decisions.

You have been unfair on Asantehene and seriously exhibited your dislike of the Ashanti monarch simple because of your one sided stand on the solved Kumawu chieftaincy.

My advise for you is to find yourself a better job and stop wasting your energy on an issue long sorted out by the wisdom of Nananom, of the great Ashantiman Council.

You must learn to respect the custodians of our traditions and culture and stop putting up scraps here as Ghanaians have more important national issues to think of.

Don't just gush out, if you don't have to. Hear what the writer is saying, and realise there is sense in it. After all, the ASANTEHENE is full of scandals. Didn't the NPP suspect him of influencing Atuguba and the rest? Did this same ASANTEHENE try to cause mayhem at Tuobodom, had the BRONGS not woke defend their land? Isn't he doing the same at Kumawu? If he is good and wise as you think, let him tackle high criminality rate in Kumasi. And mind you, most of kings and Chiefs are more money and greed driven, than solving social issues.

Respect please. I am shameful of reading this nonsense you have put out onmthe internet. Bow your head in shame. You are a disgrace to Asanteman and never ever call yourself a Ghanaian.Thanks

I think he has been hired by NDC to cause Ashantis to hate NPP. This guy during the NPP's flagbearship race, made it clear that he supports Akuffo Addo. How can a known Akuffo Addo supporter knowing very well that the Ashanti Region is a stronghold of the NPP behave this way? I believe very well that he has been paid to achieve something for the NDC.

The Ashantis can honour any criminal as far as he is given the title of Asantehene. After-all how many Ashantis have lived in Canada and UK and close to the stool? There was one Kwame Serebour in USA that could do better. Because he is not a crook he was bypassed. Just accept the fact that this is what is left in Ashanti to be a chief. You are stocked to him until all the gold on the stool are sold and banked in Serwaah Amponsah,s God given underground "woman bank". Good luck for knowing too much.
