Otumfuo is making name for himself and not the Ashanti nation. Look at the state of the world renowned Ashanti, recieving great visitors in these muddy village city in the 21st century yet the king is not ashamed. U talk for UN grant the nation on ur behalf and yet ur city is still a cottage. Kumasi is underdevelopment o tom Otumfuo, aba inti getting high class visitors for Akwasidai nti eny3 wo aniwuo abai Ashantis should be Non Alliance to any political party period, trick is what has helped Accra to develop till date. All those regions who claim their vote for a particular political party has not seen any development. The Region that does that normally is treated as first wives, whilst side chicks receives the lions share the actual wives receives less because the husband knows side chicks can leave easily wen their demands are not met but the actual wife stays with empty promises
Kwasia kasa, animals interfering in human affairs. You come from a village and you want to talk about Kumasi, hahaha. You wished you were an Asante. I have seen you making this comment under all post concerning Kumasi or Asante. Odwan ba,
Where are you from tell me one bad thing the Asantehene and Asanteman has done to you.You sit here and blame Asantehene is he the one to develop Kumasi then Akufo Addo should give him some of the government power so that he develop Asanteman and you’ll see what will happen
Sir, you’re very right with the current state of Kumasi. The two regions Volta and Ashanti have always been use to work whiles especially the known capital city enjoys from it. Very sad and unthinkable as to how our leaders think and plan for this country. We don’t grow cocoa in Accra but the ministry of agriculture is at Accra. Recently, gold refinery has been built at the same Accra meanwhile we don’t mine in Accra. So you see our leaders are very poor in planning. You claim Otumfuo makes name for himself and not his territories, you are clearly lost and wrong. Let me tell you Otumfuo is highly revered in the name of Asante and not Ghana or anything else. So I won’t buy your aforementioned statement. Concerning the underdeveloped Kumasi you think the Asantehene isn’t doing anything to develop it, the traditional leader would need money to do that and I mean billions of dollars. Where do you think he could raise that money from? Or from his charity fund? And even if he has billions of dollars there are things he would need to seek the state’s consent before he can move on. So I don’t really get it with your accusations.
To look at life differently they could not be so bold Some people don't grow wiser, they merely grow old They remain as they were and think in the same way The only change in them is they've grown old and gray Wisdom is a thing that can serve one quite well Though also a thing one cannot buy or sell Financially well-to-do wise Ghanaians are rare Because wisdom cannot be bought by a millionaire That the wise in Ghana are a minority comes as no surprise For most Ghanaians today grow gray hair but not grow wise No fool like an old fool,you may have heard me say He did not grow wiser,only older and gray His childish short-sightedness remains the same way The truth in these words is displayed by Osafo Marfo today.
That's osafo marfo is a very bad CPP man 👨 Kuffour sacked him because of malpractices simply to the party down kuffour was a smart man 👨 He is a disguised NPP 🥸 😍. He is from akyem Awisa near akyem Oda, former Nkrumah DC kwame kwakye,s cousin. From akyem Awisa. Let's me give you some clips I will try to explain. There a town called akyem Swedru its between akyem Oda and akyem Awisa. Akyem Swedru it's the real U,p Dankwa and Busia tradition. Because of that kwame Nkrumah and its CPP associate punished akyem Swedru people. First technical school 🏫 at that I was built by white governor then when Nkrumah came he removed it to kukurantumi, so 🤷 akyem Swedru Technical school were transferred. Now president kuffour knows the story so when he came first he built the technical school 🏫 😳 🤣 For akyem Swedru people again. Then when he left and Akuffo Addo and osafo marfo senior minister have abandoned the akyem Swedru Technical school 🏫 again and building a new one in akyem Awisa near akyem Swedru about one mile away from akyem Swedru. Akyem Awisa is where osafo marfo comes from that his her home town. 🏡 Can you you believe this story I want ghana journalist to investigate 🔎 😑 this matter, so it's not only the ashantis osafo marfo wants to collapse NPP party for them before he goes. Akyem Swedru suffered in the hands of cpp let's by kwame Nkrumah ministers and osafo marfo as a whole. Now make you believe what I'm saying , Nkrumah and DC kwame kwakye tried to punished akyem Swedru people again which osafo marfo is well aware. The main road from akyem Oda to akyem Awisa its three miles. The punishment was they diverted the main highway 🛣 from akyem akyem Swedru even build a bridge 🌉 so there were no cars passing through akyem Swedru from akyem Oda to akyem Awisa. That's was another punishment from kwame kwakye osafo marfo cpp to the akyem Swedru people 🙄. So please this story needs a follow up by Ghanaians journalist I will pay for the cost if you can contact. Akyem Swedru is akyem Bosome traditional area we will never suffer invain
These 2 pastors have NOT been fair to Osafo Marfo. They have wrongly accused him without playing the tape to allow us to hear and know the validity of the allegation. Osarfo Marfo is an adult man so what would make him to say such a thing (even if it is true that he said it)?
Akyems arrived (in the) Asante Region and left to settle in the Eastern region. When the Akyems got to the Asante region, where were the Asantes? Were the Asantes already settled there or not? Where did the Asantes truly come from prior to settling in the Asante region? LoL. What led to the war between these two tribe? Again, why did the Akyems leave that region? And why did some people again left the Asantes to form the Asante-Akyem concave geographical area? If the whole Asante region is called Asante region, then why do we have the Asante-Akyem people within the same Asante region? What led to what? And what are the real secrets that Ghana historians have kept it dark secrets from Ghanaians? Well, for the sake of unity and love, I don't want to tell you a lot about it so I will stop writing about that. While the Akyem people used to hire the Krobos to do their farm lands and the Asante used to hire the Northerners to do their farm lands. The Akyems used to do things together with the Krobos while the Asante were closed to the Pepefuo. The Akyems were the great warriors but the Asantes fought too many battles and wars. The Asantes almost fought every major tribe during those days and that is why many tribes hate the Asantes. No one can hide the truth and the history of Ghana. No matter how painful it may sound, we must protect the history of Ghana. That's what all other nations on earth do. They learn from their painful history and they live happily in unity. All of you have not been fair to Osafo Marfo. He was talking about the painstaking truth about Ghana's history. He is a matured man and a well educated man who has traveled to over hundred nations so he will never insult the Asantes or twist the history. But the truth is anyone who is well educated and know Ghana history know that the Akyems were the the great warriors and fighters. It's only the Akyems that the Asantes used to fear. And that's why only the Akyem killed the Asantes king.....near Kyebi.
@@yawdwubengsarpong6628 I respect your opinion. But what is yours? Tell us what you know so that readers can make their own objective decision. It is unethical and disrespectful to readers if you just write two words "Fake history" and go without explaining. Talk is cheap. Where is your knowledge? No wonder you are who you are. And I'm not astonished at all at where you are living at.
The secret to the upliftment of Africa is Unity but people don't just get up one day and unite. All through the world , developed nations possess a composition of a multi ethnic or tribe or even race coming together to form one front and this unity have come mostly through war in a certain era of human history ....In Ghana only Asante has expressed this universal principle of unity to its maximum degree where different Akan states humbled themselves in a union for the cause of war to overcome(Denkyira) and from thence expand(through the sub region)....in fact it would have been an advantage for West Africa or to sound modest, for the present day Ghana region that Asante empire or any other local state/empire extended to engulf all others, in that case post colonialisation would have resulted in a pure United Ghana/Asante or any other expanded state in this regard ... that's the harsh and hard principle and I don't care if it was another tribe other than Asante that did this as long as it would have contributed to a unified region and our prosperity...but we all know of among all the local empires or States situated in this Ghana enclave Asante stands tall and the only one to have executed this principle almost perfectly...You mentioned the others groups hate for Asante cuz of the war quest against all of them but well we are in love with the white man's empires that extended here and left us more divided and resource appropriated than ever..the black can see no good in another black man so the foreigner will always have the better of them...as long as one of us extended to make us one front it would have been better for all of us as that's the sad but reality of world politics.. without unity , Africa should forget..before there was a UN and European Union there were the first and second wars world wars...no one on earth can change our situation...and get your history right ..Asante has never been afraid of Akyem...that saying is laughable to the highest degree considering Akyem itself is a divided front...Do you mean Kyebi, Bosome or Kotoku? ..well one may have possessed the head of an Asantehene but know that not in a war or clear army banter per se but by a traditional technicality that stemmed from the complacency of the said King who decided to cross Pra without his amulet war smock. In the ancient ,to loose a King meant war is over or no war. On any good battle day on the field even a united Akyem front will flee from that mighty Asante Army...not even the British army could take them down by themselves until they joined forces with certain peeved Coastal states like we know...so let no one pride much in possessing somebody's head ... Without controversy there is always one that stands out...and undisputably that is Asante as far as Ghana is concerned...just research the extent and magnitude of the Asante confederacy and you will understand that it extends beyond the shores of modern Ghana. Asantes fought for real independence ...The independence Osafo claims to have been fought for greatly by the Akyems has earned Ghana nothing ..in fact , it is a hoax...we re even more dependent on Imperialist since then than ever... it's just a game of vasal stuff and puppeteering. Judge in- between the lines properly. Asante has done a lot.
@@kojojampa Thank you for your reply. However, I strongly disagree with you on a number of points you raised in your partial, illogical, divisive, ethnocentric, cum tribal, and uniformed baseless analysis. Learn to write coherently and logically. Besides, try to write along the main subject matter under discussion of your opponent (s). You think you are making sense, but all you have written is cos 90. It's imprudent and perturbing dust you have deliberately thrown into the eyes of our intelligent readers. You have woefully misquoted me because you couldn't comprehend all the argumentative points I raised in my earlier submission. If I were your professor grading your understanding--how you analyze issues and your writing skills, I would have offered you a grade...LoL. That's just a joke, by the way. It looks as if you were angry when you were replying to my comment so you rushed without looking at several factors in writing. You know the history but you need to put aside your personal tribal ego and write to educate/inform; not to glorify yourself and your tribe. After all, our readers are our best judges who can make the best opinions from the two of us. Anytime I'm writing about tribes, I'm excessively careful because I know what tribal innuendo and casting of aspersions by just one Radio presenter caused the whole civil war of Rwanda and killed over 800,000-1,000,000 people within 90-days (3 months). And by the time the war finally ended, more than 5-8 million innocent people had died. First of all, what led me to write my previous comment, which compelled you to reply to me? Well, let me remind you of it: I was accusing Prophet Ebenezer Adarkwa and Rev. Chief of unfair treatment depicted to Dr. Osarfo Marfo without playing the alleged tape to allow readers and listeners to hear or know the exact words that they allegedly claim the former minister of Youth & Sports and Finance made against the Asantes. In my previous submission, I stated that they should have played the full tape of Dr. Osarfor Marfo. because he was not at their studio to defend himself. Again, because they did not call him to hear his version of their accusations, I stated it emphatically that they mistreated the former minister. To wit, both pastors played tribal cards to make it seem that Dr. Osarfor Marfo hates Asantes or might have insulted Asantes. But that may not necessarily be the factual case. You failed to address the genesis and the bone of my contention to write that comment. Your love for tribal lineage made you rush to write partially on tribal lines just to defend Asantes and make readers or the world think I and Dr. Osarfo Marfo hate the innocent Asantes. In any case, do you know my real tribe? What made you think I'm not 100% or 50% Asante? And if I'm an Asante, does it mean when I see the truth --either against Asantes or in favor of the Asantes I should just use tribal segment to defend the indefensible? On this issue, you should have told me and all readers whether Prophet Ebenezer and pastor Chief did the right thing or not. But because you know what you are doing --you want to play on the minds of Ghanaians and incite the innocent people of Akyem against the Asantes. Just as a dog shakes its tail and begins to bark at any shadow it sees without seeing any threat, your sheepish antics and passion for in-house tribal wagging will not hold any water to the drinking belly. All you have done is amphigoric. Secondly, I did not say the Akyems dominated the Asantes and did not say the Asantes were afraid of the Akyems. But because of your personal interest and ego, you are putting words in my mouth. But you are right to say the beheading of ... but you failed to tell the full truth about what actually happened afterward. In fact, the unfortunate beheading of the great king brought enmity between the two tribes and it did affect them for many years until many leaders tried to reconcile them. And the recent reconciliation of the two happened when the great king Otumfuo left his high seat for Kyebi to smoke the peace pipe with his good pal (and his brother-in-law), Nana Amoatia Oforipaning II. When you are talking about history and historicity (the two are NOT the same) learn to write and tell the factual and truthful models of it fully; not half-truth or conjecture truth. I have given you good credit for knowing a portion of the history. But you need to have an in-depth knowledge of Ghana's history. Also, go learn about the historicities of Ghana. Thirdly, in my previous comment, I asked a lot of questions regarding who got there first and why the others left the Asante region to settle in the Eastern region. But as usual, you used tricks to overlook all those important questions. Let me rephrase the questions thus: Did the Akyems ever settle in the Asante region before they migrated to the Eastern region part of Ghana? If yes, why? And if no, why? And where do you think the Akyems originally came from to settle in Ghana? Please focus on my writings and all my questions before you jump the gun and give me a hasty generalization response. In any case, it is not compulsory you reply if you are not adept with what I usually write about. It is your right to reply or not. Further, you should have asked why I chose to reply to Prophet Ebenezer and Chief? I did so because there is no Ghanaian who is more passionate about Ghana's unity and wellbeing than I am. Also, no one respect, admire and defend the Asante tribe, the great king, and their achievements than I do. But God has created me to be truthful so I do not mince words. When I see white, I say so and when I see red, I don't call it black. I do this in my family, among my friends, and in my church, and I even criticize myself every day so I objectively criticize the two pastors because they incited Akyems against the Asantes without calling Dr. Osafor Marfo or playing his audio for listeners to ascertain the truth. I have been a Radio Talk-Host for 8 years before.....so I know the ethics of journalism and how to produce or host any program Nevertheless, you also opined that in all nations, tribal and ethnocentrism are there but it is only one major language that they all accept and use for their national dominance. Good point. Great score card for you on that. It is true and I second you for that. It looks as if you have not been reading from me before or often so you don't know my patriotic values and love for Ghana having one local language as our official language. And without mincing words, I always say our legislature, the MPs must enact laws to make Twi Ghana's official language. My argument stem from the fact that many MPs speak too many incorrect English and unpardonable grammatical errors and I'm optimistic that if they are allowed to speak in their own various local languages--Twi, Ga, Ewe, Dagomba, Hausa, Frafra, Dagati, Krobo, Ga-Adanbge, etc, they will be proficient to speak well and allow the over 60% populace who couldn't get access to official education understand them better. If Kwame Nkrumah did not hate the Asantes and had made Twi the number one official language and made English a compulsory language to be studied at all levels in our educational ladder, Ghana could have developed faster than where we are today. Who in Ghana doesn't know that only the Asante region has one tribe, the Asante people? Again, who doesn't know that the Asante region is the only region in Ghana whose various towns, cities, and chiefs have come together with strong unity traits to worship the king? If there is any Ghanaian who doesn't respect or love the great King Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, it's his or her problem. Because as for me, I love him, his visionary ideas, and respect him as a great king occupying ....and among the 7 top kings in the world. And it is a kingdom I will one day love to work at or become a future Kumasi Asante Kotoko CEO. Finally, in my previous comment, I stated that I don't believe a well-educated mature person like Dr. Osafo Marfo would deliberately choose to denigrate, dent, and impugn the reputation of Asantes when he knows it very well that tribal disrespect has brought inferno and anarchy to many countries. This is why I said maybe, he was making certain long story inferences of discussion but the journalists who made that reported speech might have either doctored the tape or simply showed unprofessional and unethical traits to destroy the noble Senior Minister. Peace is more prudent than our individual tribes so let us all be extremely circumspect when discussing issues on tribal lines. For everyone loves his mother's tongue.
@@prayers4allable I also appreciate your reply to to my reply however surprised at your self righteous and shading approach...I am not bothered when people take such routes in intellectual arguments ... I am tribalistic you say, you re not that's fine... And oh yes I am still learning so thanks for the suggestion, I will learn to write coherently... If you paid attention to the things I wrote and had a deeper insight you would have realized I wrote on a more general and deeper note... I am quite conversant with things bothering on the NPP having been an adherent to their ideals and political philosophy for a long time coupled with being privy to some of their internal issues... Trust me, you only heard a gist of the prejudice held by some of the Akyem folk or Mafia as some tags them.. I have sat in meetings when some Akyem folks being ignorant of my Asante nativity have said and expressed things hard to utter against Asantes and even Otumfour and it's sad why it is so .. this mindset is what has divided their party and at certain times being the major cause of their woes...it happened in 2008... I wrote to more than you read but I keep that to myself now since I realized you are acting intolerable and pretentious. I am surprised at the detail you have given to your comment in your new reply ..wow....okay so I ask 1) where in your comment did you suggest Opambour and co should have played the full audio or should have invited Osafo Marfo to hear his side of the story? I guess I was blind. 2) They mistreated him? This is like the second or third occasion he has been caught on tape saying this kind of stuff or he is the only Akan or the only one from the Eastern region? 3) How did both pastors play the tribal card when in the end they actually called for unity among us with Opambour even emphasizing the Akyem element about his own native town? I am surprised though at your taking to modesty in your new reply pretending to not have dragged this simple matter these pastors brought up, with all your plenty questions, historical and historicity insinuations... how did that also relate with what Opambour and co were discussing? What has what they were discussing gotten to with history and origin of Akyem and wars and armies and the beheading of a king? Or did any of them mention anything about wars and who had a great army and who had the head of some king? 4) Where in my comment did I make a point or insinuate that you may or may not be Asante? 5)My love for tribal lineage, oh really? Who wouldn't defend theirs? (I am not hypocrite ...and yes I am Asante and love Asante and that has never let me looked down or speak less on any other tribe or their contribution to nation building...because I don't remember speaking against any here or did I? Or it is wrong to elevate or laud one's tribe? 6)Matter of fact, all I did was to elevat a principle in world politics and human history and clearly stated that Asante or any tribe , state or empire at that could have honoured and executed this principle by extending to the whole sub region for our own unity and true independence sake even after colonialism... so where is my being tribalistic whatever here? After all Asante is the youngest of all the local groups in this sub region having been formed by people from other Akan States and even tribes so what's the beef here? 7) Amphigoric you said? That's fine , at least I didn't launch here insulting or throwing tantrums at you or anyone...I also shared my honest opinion with regards to the subject matter as a whole holding in a more general and deeper view Osafo Marfo's point and especially that certain mindset and image held by some bigotry Akyem folks.. (some of us know about it that well and it's just unfortunate). Recently it was the Dormaahene...but I rest that. Hardly do you hear Asantehene or an Asante elder make such needless references of other tribes in their own glory matters but it seems it has now become a delicacy of others to do such and yet expect zero confrontation. 8)And where in my reply did I quote you saying Akyems dominated Asantes like you re insinuating now? 9) And oh, so you never made mention of Akyems being the ones Asante feared and that they have the head of one of their kings? Woooow...so I put all that in the final paragraph of your comment? 10) Again, history and historicity you say and of full truth models?...Lol Mr Professor I hail thee! You must believe your self that much huh.... What about what you originally commented make it full truth? Or you think your self to possess the sole prerogative of the knowledge and narrative of history itself... that's fine at least I appreciate that as against the norm these days that someone from our country could come up on TH-cam and ignite such intellectual discussion with all the plenty grammar and vocabulary .... but did I read well saying were you my professor you would have rewarded me just a grade? Sorry, not in any era or any place on God's earth will that ever happen...I would quit that course before it began you hypocrite ( usually I hate to go this way during intellectual discourses but sorry as that's true after all you have described me with harsher words). 11) Adept with what you usually write? lol.. I just met you under 24 hours; 12)Oh your plenty questions? what tangentry have they with what Opambour and co brought up? And sorry I have no issues whatsoever with the Akyem journey or history...in fact and without dispute I know just as every other Ghanaian know that we Asantes and Akyems re all one people with none of the two being greater than the bigger Ethnic family they all form part of ...all having originated some what from the same places with very common culture etc.. But what surprises is any time there is this Asante-Akyem controversy, it has always been the case that one of them is the one igniting the fire and it's sad... Inside the NPP we know of these issues....we know the things the likes of the Haackmans ,Osafo Marfos and even Akuffo Addo(who I have admired for a good long time) etc have said in leaked audios against Asante or some Asante folk and former Prez Kuffour has been a victim to this thing I speak of. Their mindset is known and this not speculations as this is what caused their loss in 2008.. their disregard for Kuffour and their constant disdain at the Asante fraternity within the party..but they always forget where their world bank is. 13)I appreciate that you have in you the zeal for Ghana and her peace and unity... Well you should probe me well enough and you would know someone may even be passionate about Ghana and even more Africa than you may... If you had read me deeper and more objectively than you did, then you would have known what I was really driving at... Just as you may hold that journalistic prowess , another may hold the political and economics....Peace and unity don't just come with pleas and talks... They have their processes and ways and that's all what I tried to draft here but in a rather not too favourable way. Osafo Marfo , what he said in his audio was crass and below his level for who he is and the kind of pedigree he holds...it was so unnecessary and uninspiring...You see lauding your tribe or nativity is not a crime...feel proud of yours but when you have to mention others in comparison and place them somewhat in the negative in a discussion that did not warrant their mention then you re inviting trouble. If he thinks Eastern played the major role in Ghana's independence and is the summit of all the others in development that's no problem but to include one tribe out of the many in your self glorification and agrandissement is recipe for trouble. Asantes are fond of singing their praises without the mention of others and many an other tribe label them as being tribalistic...now Osafo Marfo involves Asante in an Akyem conversation which he could have made without involving Asantes or any other tribe and spews out a big lie you don't have an issue with that yet hear preaching full truth models...really? ..we hear you. As for me, I will defend Asante when I can once it's not on a wrong note. I rest my case... NB: I am still a student of the English language so if I erred anywhere in my writing, pardon me Mr Professor.

Ashantis should be Non Alliance to any political party period, trick is what has helped Accra to develop till date. All those regions who claim their vote for a particular political party has not seen any development. The Region that does that normally is treated as first wives, whilst side chicks receives the lions share the actual wives receives less because the husband knows side chicks can leave easily wen their demands are not met but the actual wife stays with empty promises
Kwasia kasa, animals interfering in human affairs.
You come from a village and you want to talk about Kumasi, hahaha.
You wished you were an Asante.
I have seen you making this comment under all post concerning Kumasi or Asante.
Odwan ba,
Where are you from tell me one bad thing the Asantehene and Asanteman has done to you.You sit here and blame Asantehene is he the one to develop Kumasi then Akufo Addo should give him some of the government power so that he develop Asanteman and you’ll see what will happen
Jealousy is killing you slowly.
U see u hypocrite, youth paa , gyimi saaa ... he is saying the truth and u guys are insane insulting him look at the current state of kumasi
Sir, you’re very right with the current state of Kumasi. The two regions Volta and Ashanti have always been use to work whiles especially the known capital city enjoys from it. Very sad and unthinkable as to how our leaders think and plan for this country. We don’t grow cocoa in Accra but the ministry of agriculture is at Accra. Recently, gold refinery has been built at the same Accra meanwhile we don’t mine in Accra. So you see our leaders are very poor in planning. You claim Otumfuo makes name for himself and not his territories, you are clearly lost and wrong. Let me tell you Otumfuo is highly revered in the name of Asante and not Ghana or anything else. So I won’t buy your aforementioned statement. Concerning the underdeveloped Kumasi you think the Asantehene isn’t doing anything to develop it, the traditional leader would need money to do that and I mean billions of dollars. Where do you think he could raise that money from? Or from his charity fund? And even if he has billions of dollars there are things he would need to seek the state’s consent before he can move on. So I don’t really get it with your accusations.
Well said ,,,my brother opambour
Opambour is gradually becoming a comedian. Hahaha 😂😂😂
🌟🌟
We have to sacked him from minister without that we Ashantis will never forget it thanks
Kwakwo Bowers ..info make sense
To look at life differently they could not be so bold
Some people don't grow wiser, they merely grow old
They remain as they were and think in the same way
The only change in them is they've grown old and gray
Wisdom is a thing that can serve one quite well
Though also a thing one cannot buy or sell
Financially well-to-do wise Ghanaians are rare
Because wisdom cannot be bought by a millionaire
That the wise in Ghana are a minority comes as no surprise
For most Ghanaians today grow gray hair but not grow wise
No fool like an old fool,you may have heard me say
He did not grow wiser,only older and gray
His childish short-sightedness remains the same way
The truth in these words is displayed by Osafo Marfo today.
We need Love not War!
Who is talking war? That old fool doesn't speak for the Okyehene.
Opambour is always Opambour.
Very straight 👏
Wise saying. JR was here 💙

That's osafo marfo is a very bad CPP man 👨
Kuffour sacked him because of malpractices simply to the party down kuffour was a smart man 👨
He is a disguised NPP 🥸 😍.
He is from akyem Awisa near akyem Oda, former Nkrumah DC kwame kwakye,s cousin. From akyem Awisa.
Let's me give you some clips I will try to explain.
There a town called akyem Swedru its between akyem Oda and akyem Awisa.
Akyem Swedru it's the real U,p Dankwa and Busia tradition. Because of that kwame Nkrumah and its CPP associate punished akyem Swedru people.
First technical school 🏫 at that I was built by white governor then when Nkrumah came he removed it to kukurantumi, so 🤷 akyem Swedru Technical school were transferred.
Now president kuffour knows the story so when he came first he built the technical school 🏫 😳 🤣
For akyem Swedru people again.
Then when he left and Akuffo Addo and osafo marfo senior minister have abandoned the akyem Swedru Technical school 🏫 again and building a new one in akyem Awisa near akyem Swedru about one mile away from akyem Swedru.
Akyem Awisa is where osafo marfo comes from that his her home town. 🏡
Can you you believe this story I want ghana journalist to investigate 🔎 😑 this matter, so it's not only the ashantis osafo marfo wants to collapse NPP party for them before he goes.
Akyem Swedru suffered in the hands of cpp let's by kwame Nkrumah ministers and osafo marfo as a whole.
Now make you believe what I'm saying , Nkrumah and DC kwame kwakye tried to punished akyem Swedru people again which osafo marfo is well aware.
The main road from akyem Oda to akyem Awisa its three miles.
The punishment was they diverted the main highway 🛣 from akyem akyem Swedru even build a bridge 🌉 so there were no cars passing through akyem Swedru from akyem Oda to akyem Awisa.
That's was another punishment from kwame kwakye osafo marfo cpp to the akyem Swedru people 🙄.
So please this story needs a follow up by Ghanaians journalist I will pay for the cost if you can contact.
Akyem Swedru is akyem Bosome traditional area we will never suffer invain
These 2 pastors have NOT been fair to Osafo Marfo. They have wrongly accused him without playing the tape to allow us to hear and know the validity of the allegation. Osarfo Marfo is an adult man so what would make him to say such a thing (even if it is true that he said it)?
Akyems arrived (in the) Asante Region and left to settle in the Eastern region. When the Akyems got to the Asante region, where were the Asantes? Were the Asantes already settled there or not? Where did the Asantes truly come from prior to settling in the Asante region? LoL. What led to the war between these two tribe? Again, why did the Akyems leave that region? And why did some people again left the Asantes to form the Asante-Akyem concave geographical area?
If the whole Asante region is called Asante region, then why do we have the Asante-Akyem people within the same Asante region? What led to what? And what are the real secrets that Ghana historians have kept it dark secrets from Ghanaians? Well, for the sake of unity and love, I don't want to tell you a lot about it so I will stop writing about that. While the Akyem people used to hire the Krobos to do their farm lands and the Asante used to hire the Northerners to do their farm lands. The Akyems used to do things together with the Krobos while the Asante were closed to the Pepefuo.
The Akyems were the great warriors but the Asantes fought too many battles and wars. The Asantes almost fought every major tribe during those days and that is why many tribes hate the Asantes. No one can hide the truth and the history of Ghana. No matter how painful it may sound, we must protect the history of Ghana. That's what all other nations on earth do. They learn from their painful history and they live happily in unity.
All of you have not been fair to Osafo Marfo. He was talking about the painstaking truth about Ghana's history. He is a matured man and a well educated man who has traveled to over hundred nations so he will never insult the Asantes or twist the history. But the truth is anyone who is well educated and know Ghana history know that the Akyems were the the great warriors and fighters. It's only the Akyems that the Asantes used to fear. And that's why only the Akyem killed the Asantes king.....near Kyebi.
Fake history
@@yawdwubengsarpong6628 I respect your opinion. But what is yours? Tell us what you know so that readers can make their own objective decision. It is unethical and disrespectful to readers if you just write two words "Fake history" and go without explaining. Talk is cheap. Where is your knowledge? No wonder you are who you are. And I'm not astonished at all at where you are living at.
The secret to the upliftment of Africa is Unity but people don't just get up one day and unite. All through the world , developed nations possess a composition of a multi ethnic or tribe or even race coming together to form one front and this unity have come mostly through war in a certain era of human history ....In Ghana only Asante has expressed this universal principle of unity to its maximum degree where different Akan states humbled themselves in a union for the cause of war to overcome(Denkyira) and from thence expand(through the sub region)....in fact it would have been an advantage for West Africa or to sound modest, for the present day Ghana region that Asante empire or any other local state/empire extended to engulf all others, in that case post colonialisation would have resulted in a pure United Ghana/Asante or any other expanded state in this regard ... that's the harsh and hard principle and I don't care if it was another tribe other than Asante that did this as long as it would have contributed to a unified region and our prosperity...but we all know of among all the local empires or States situated in this Ghana enclave Asante stands tall and the only one to have executed this principle almost perfectly...You mentioned the others groups hate for Asante cuz of the war quest against all of them but well we are in love with the white man's empires that extended here and left us more divided and resource appropriated than ever..the black can see no good in another black man so the foreigner will always have the better of them...as long as one of us extended to make us one front it would have been better for all of us as that's the sad but reality of world politics.. without unity , Africa should forget..before there was a UN and European Union there were the first and second wars world wars...no one on earth can change our situation...and get your history right ..Asante has never been afraid of Akyem...that saying is laughable to the highest degree considering Akyem itself is a divided front...Do you mean Kyebi, Bosome or Kotoku? ..well one may have possessed the head of an Asantehene but know that not in a war or clear army banter per se but by a traditional technicality that stemmed from the complacency of the said King who decided to cross Pra without his amulet war smock. In the ancient ,to loose a King meant war is over or no war. On any good battle day on the field even a united Akyem front will flee from that mighty Asante Army...not even the British army could take them down by themselves until they joined forces with certain peeved Coastal states like we know...so let no one pride much in possessing somebody's head ... Without controversy there is always one that stands out...and undisputably that is Asante as far as Ghana is concerned...just research the extent and magnitude of the Asante confederacy and you will understand that it extends beyond the shores of modern Ghana. Asantes fought for real independence ...The independence Osafo claims to have been fought for greatly by the Akyems has earned Ghana nothing ..in fact , it is a hoax...we re even more dependent on Imperialist since then than ever... it's just a game of vasal stuff and puppeteering. Judge in- between the lines properly. Asante has done a lot.
@@kojojampa Thank you for your reply. However, I strongly disagree with you on a number of points you raised in your partial, illogical, divisive, ethnocentric, cum tribal, and uniformed baseless analysis.
Learn to write coherently and logically. Besides, try to write along the main subject matter under discussion of your opponent (s). You think you are making sense, but all you have written is cos 90. It's imprudent and perturbing dust you have deliberately thrown into the eyes of our intelligent readers.
You have woefully misquoted me because you couldn't comprehend all the argumentative points I raised in my earlier submission. If I were your professor grading your understanding--how you analyze issues and your writing skills, I would have offered you a grade...LoL. That's just a joke, by the way. It looks as if you were angry when you were replying to my comment so you rushed without looking at several factors in writing. You know the history but you need to put aside your personal tribal ego and write to educate/inform; not to glorify yourself and your tribe. After all, our readers are our best judges who can make the best opinions from the two of us. Anytime I'm writing about tribes, I'm excessively careful because I know what tribal innuendo and casting of aspersions by just one Radio presenter caused the whole civil war of Rwanda and killed over 800,000-1,000,000 people within 90-days (3 months). And by the time the war finally ended, more than 5-8 million innocent people had died.
First of all, what led me to write my previous comment, which compelled you to reply to me? Well, let me remind you of it: I was accusing Prophet Ebenezer Adarkwa and Rev. Chief of unfair treatment depicted to Dr. Osarfo Marfo without playing the alleged tape to allow readers and listeners to hear or know the exact words that they allegedly claim the former minister of Youth & Sports and Finance made against the Asantes. In my previous submission, I stated that they should have played the full tape of Dr. Osarfor Marfo. because he was not at their studio to defend himself. Again, because they did not call him to hear his version of their accusations, I stated it emphatically that they mistreated the former minister.
To wit, both pastors played tribal cards to make it seem that Dr. Osarfor Marfo hates Asantes or might have insulted Asantes. But that may not necessarily be the factual case. You failed to address the genesis and the bone of my contention to write that comment. Your love for tribal lineage made you rush to write partially on tribal lines just to defend Asantes and make readers or the world think I and Dr. Osarfo Marfo hate the innocent Asantes. In any case, do you know my real tribe? What made you think I'm not 100% or 50% Asante? And if I'm an Asante, does it mean when I see the truth --either against Asantes or in favor of the Asantes I should just use tribal segment to defend the indefensible?
On this issue, you should have told me and all readers whether Prophet Ebenezer and pastor Chief did the right thing or not. But because you know what you are doing --you want to play on the minds of Ghanaians and incite the innocent people of Akyem against the Asantes. Just as a dog shakes its tail and begins to bark at any shadow it sees without seeing any threat, your sheepish antics and passion for in-house tribal wagging will not hold any water to the drinking belly. All you have done is amphigoric.
Secondly, I did not say the Akyems dominated the Asantes and did not say the Asantes were afraid of the Akyems. But because of your personal interest and ego, you are putting words in my mouth. But you are right to say the beheading of ... but you failed to tell the full truth about what actually happened afterward. In fact, the unfortunate beheading of the great king brought enmity between the two tribes and it did affect them for many years until many leaders tried to reconcile them. And the recent reconciliation of the two happened when the great king Otumfuo left his high seat for Kyebi to smoke the peace pipe with his good pal (and his brother-in-law), Nana Amoatia Oforipaning II.
When you are talking about history and historicity (the two are NOT the same) learn to write and tell the factual and truthful models of it fully; not half-truth or conjecture truth. I have given you good credit for knowing a portion of the history. But you need to have an in-depth knowledge of Ghana's history. Also, go learn about the historicities of Ghana.
Thirdly, in my previous comment, I asked a lot of questions regarding who got there first and why the others left the Asante region to settle in the Eastern region. But as usual, you used tricks to overlook all those important questions. Let me rephrase the questions thus: Did the Akyems ever settle in the Asante region before they migrated to the Eastern region part of Ghana? If yes, why? And if no, why? And where do you think the Akyems originally came from to settle in Ghana? Please focus on my writings and all my questions before you jump the gun and give me a hasty generalization response. In any case, it is not compulsory you reply if you are not adept with what I usually write about. It is your right to reply or not.
Further, you should have asked why I chose to reply to Prophet Ebenezer and Chief? I did so because there is no Ghanaian who is more passionate about Ghana's unity and wellbeing than I am. Also, no one respect, admire and defend the Asante tribe, the great king, and their achievements than I do. But God has created me to be truthful so I do not mince words. When I see white, I say so and when I see red, I don't call it black. I do this in my family, among my friends, and in my church, and I even criticize myself every day so I objectively criticize the two pastors because they incited Akyems against the Asantes without calling Dr. Osafor Marfo or playing his audio for listeners to ascertain the truth. I have been a Radio Talk-Host for 8 years before.....so I know the ethics of journalism and how to produce or host any program
Nevertheless, you also opined that in all nations, tribal and ethnocentrism are there but it is only one major language that they all accept and use for their national dominance. Good point. Great score card for you on that. It is true and I second you for that. It looks as if you have not been reading from me before or often so you don't know my patriotic values and love for Ghana having one local language as our official language. And without mincing words, I always say our legislature, the MPs must enact laws to make Twi Ghana's official language.
My argument stem from the fact that many MPs speak too many incorrect English and unpardonable grammatical errors and I'm optimistic that if they are allowed to speak in their own various local languages--Twi, Ga, Ewe, Dagomba, Hausa, Frafra, Dagati, Krobo, Ga-Adanbge, etc, they will be proficient to speak well and allow the over 60% populace who couldn't get access to official education understand them better.
If Kwame Nkrumah did not hate the Asantes and had made Twi the number one official language and made English a compulsory language to be studied at all levels in our educational ladder, Ghana could have developed faster than where we are today.
Who in Ghana doesn't know that only the Asante region has one tribe, the Asante people? Again, who doesn't know that the Asante region is the only region in Ghana whose various towns, cities, and chiefs have come together with strong unity traits to worship the king? If there is any Ghanaian who doesn't respect or love the great King Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, it's his or her problem. Because as for me, I love him, his visionary ideas, and respect him as a great king occupying ....and among the 7 top kings in the world. And it is a kingdom I will one day love to work at or become a future Kumasi Asante Kotoko CEO.
Finally, in my previous comment, I stated that I don't believe a well-educated mature person like Dr. Osafo Marfo would deliberately choose to denigrate, dent, and impugn the reputation of Asantes when he knows it very well that tribal disrespect has brought inferno and anarchy to many countries. This is why I said maybe, he was making certain long story inferences of discussion but the journalists who made that reported speech might have either doctored the tape or simply showed unprofessional and unethical traits to destroy the noble Senior Minister. Peace is more prudent than our individual tribes so let us all be extremely circumspect when discussing issues on tribal lines. For everyone loves his mother's tongue.
@@prayers4allable I also appreciate your reply to to my reply however surprised at your self righteous and shading approach...I am not bothered when people take such routes in intellectual arguments ... I am tribalistic you say, you re not that's fine... And oh yes I am still learning so thanks for the suggestion, I will learn to write coherently... If you paid attention to the things I wrote and had a deeper insight you would have realized I wrote on a more general and deeper note... I am quite conversant with things bothering on the NPP having been an adherent to their ideals and political philosophy for a long time coupled with being privy to some of their internal issues... Trust me, you only heard a gist of the prejudice held by some of the Akyem folk or Mafia as some tags them.. I have sat in meetings when some Akyem folks being ignorant of my Asante nativity have said and expressed things hard to utter against Asantes and even Otumfour and it's sad why it is so .. this mindset is what has divided their party and at certain times being the major cause of their woes...it happened in 2008... I wrote to more than you read but I keep that to myself now since I realized you are acting intolerable and pretentious.
I am surprised at the detail you have given to your comment in your new reply ..wow....okay so I ask
1) where in your comment did you suggest Opambour and co should have played the full audio or should have invited Osafo Marfo to hear his side of the story? I guess I was blind.
2) They mistreated him? This is like the second or third occasion he has been caught on tape saying this kind of stuff or he is the only Akan or the only one from the Eastern region?
3) How did both pastors play the tribal card when in the end they actually called for unity among us with Opambour even emphasizing the Akyem element about his own native town? I am surprised though at your taking to modesty in your new reply pretending to not have dragged this simple matter these pastors brought up, with all your plenty questions, historical and historicity insinuations... how did that also relate with what Opambour and co were discussing? What has what they were discussing gotten to with history and origin of Akyem and wars and armies and the beheading of a king? Or did any of them mention anything about wars and who had a great army and who had the head of some king?
4) Where in my comment did I make a point or insinuate that you may or may not be Asante?
5)My love for tribal lineage, oh really? Who wouldn't defend theirs? (I am not hypocrite ...and yes I am Asante and love Asante and that has never let me looked down or speak less on any other tribe or their contribution to nation building...because I don't remember speaking against any here or did I? Or it is wrong to elevate or laud one's tribe?
6)Matter of fact, all I did was to elevat a principle in world politics and human history and clearly stated that Asante or any tribe , state or empire at that could have honoured and executed this principle by extending to the whole sub region for our own unity and true independence sake even after colonialism... so where is my being tribalistic whatever here?
After all Asante is the youngest of all the local groups in this sub region having been formed by people from other Akan States and even tribes so what's the beef here?
7) Amphigoric you said? That's fine , at least I didn't launch here insulting or throwing tantrums at you or anyone...I also shared my honest opinion with regards to the subject matter as a whole holding in a more general and deeper view Osafo Marfo's point and especially that certain mindset and image held by some bigotry Akyem folks.. (some of us know about it that well and it's just unfortunate). Recently it was the Dormaahene...but I rest that. Hardly do you hear Asantehene or an Asante elder make such needless references of other tribes in their own glory matters but it seems it has now become a delicacy of others to do such and yet expect zero confrontation.
8)And where in my reply did I quote you saying Akyems dominated Asantes like you re insinuating now?
9) And oh, so you never made mention of Akyems being the ones Asante feared and that they have the head of one of their kings? Woooow...so I put all that in the final paragraph of your comment?
10) Again, history and historicity you say and of full truth models?...Lol Mr Professor I hail thee! You must believe your self that much huh.... What about what you originally commented make it full truth? Or you think your self to possess the sole prerogative of the knowledge and narrative of history itself... that's fine at least I appreciate that as against the norm these days that someone from our country could come up on TH-cam and ignite such intellectual discussion with all the plenty grammar and vocabulary .... but did I read well saying were you my professor you would have rewarded me just a grade? Sorry, not in any era or any place on God's earth will that ever happen...I would quit that course before it began you hypocrite ( usually I hate to go this way during intellectual discourses but sorry as that's true after all you have described me with harsher words).
11) Adept with what you usually write? lol.. I just met you under 24 hours;
12)Oh your plenty questions? what tangentry have they with what Opambour and co brought up? And sorry I have no issues whatsoever with the Akyem journey or history...in fact and without dispute I know just as every other Ghanaian know that we Asantes and Akyems re all one people with none of the two being greater than the bigger Ethnic family they all form part of ...all having originated some what from the same places with very common culture etc.. But what surprises is any time there is this Asante-Akyem controversy, it has always been the case that one of them is the one igniting the fire and it's sad... Inside the NPP we know of these issues....we know the things the likes of the Haackmans ,Osafo Marfos and even Akuffo Addo(who I have admired for a good long time) etc have said in leaked audios against Asante or some Asante folk and former Prez Kuffour has been a victim to this thing I speak of. Their mindset is known and this not speculations as this is what caused their loss in 2008.. their disregard for Kuffour and their constant disdain at the Asante fraternity within the party..but they always forget where their world bank is.
13)I appreciate that you have in you the zeal for Ghana and her peace and unity... Well you should probe me well enough and you would know someone may even be passionate about Ghana and even more Africa than you may... If you had read me deeper and more objectively than you did, then you would have known what I was really driving at... Just as you may hold that journalistic prowess , another may hold the political and economics....Peace and unity don't just come with pleas and talks... They have their processes and ways and that's all what I tried to draft here but in a rather not too favourable way. Osafo Marfo , what he said in his audio was crass and below his level for who he is and the kind of pedigree he holds...it was so unnecessary and uninspiring...You see lauding your tribe or nativity is not a crime...feel proud of yours but when you have to mention others in comparison and place them somewhat in the negative in a discussion that did not warrant their mention then you re inviting trouble. If he thinks Eastern played the major role in Ghana's independence and is the summit of all the others in development that's no problem but to include one tribe out of the many in your self glorification and agrandissement is recipe for trouble. Asantes are fond of singing their praises without the mention of others and many an other tribe label them as being tribalistic...now Osafo Marfo involves Asante in an Akyem conversation which he could have made without involving Asantes or any other tribe and spews out a big lie you don't have an issue with that yet hear preaching full truth models...really? ..we hear you.
As for me, I will defend Asante when I can once it's not on a wrong note.
I rest my case...
NB: I am still a student of the English language so if I erred anywhere in my writing, pardon me Mr Professor.
Nobody can fight Ashantis and succeed because we're like Israel.
