Admonition to Asantehene and Asanteman Council about Kumawu Chieftaincy Affairs

If Asantehene and his advisors have ears, let them hear me. Kumawuman is not one of the satellite enclaves within Asanteman (Asante Confederacy) where he, Asantehene, can exercise any reckless despotic rule over. He had better take note of his position, reflect on the limitations of his ceremonial role within the Confederacy when dealing with issues involving especially, Kumawu Traditional area. Any autocratic attempts by him to exercise undue influence over Kumawu for reasons declared or otherwise, will be resisted with the appropriate vehemence. He will be scolded and forced to toe the traditional line.
　
Asantehene has not an iota of authority over Kumawu by deed or by any special relationship when it comes to choosing who Kumawuhene becomes. He should therefore be mindful of what he does when he is granted the permission to slightly poke his nose into Kumawu affairs. He should be ruled by his head but not by his heart. This is my golden advice to him. Kumawuman people, especially Rockson Adofo, will not let any roguish act on the part of whomever, regardless of their position within Asanteman Council, pass easily, if it is at variance with known tradition.
　
I am aware of the underhand role Mamponghene, Ejisuhene, Offinsohene and Manso-Nkwantahene are playing to strengthen the resolve by Kumawuhemaa to denigrate the character and status quo of the citizens of Kumawu Traditional area.
　
Is this not the same Mamponghene who not many years ago duped a Mampong woman resident in the United States of America of some $50,000? He allegedly promised to offer the then vacant Mamponghemaa stool to her. However, he refused to as agreed after taking that hefty sum of bribe from her. How dare such a crook meddle in a critical life-saving issue involving Kumawu? We do not want crooks and thieves to determine our lives for us. If he wants to be taken on through muddy waters, let him carry on as he has so far been doing.
　
Ejisuhene is not a person to write home about. He should know where he came from to occupy the Ejisu stool, seemingly illegal as he is. Was the history of his origins not told before Asanteman Council prior to him being nominated and enthroned as the Omanhene of Ejisu? If truth was the cardinal pivot on which installation of Ejisuhene revolves, he would not have been anywhere near the stool let alone, occupying it. I hope he has got the message. He had better be mindful of his actions towards Kumawu if he does not want to live unto death with the regret of, "Had I known, I would have stayed away from Kumawu issues" which, may be too late for him to correct his mistakes. He should not underestimate our resolve to counter his mischief towards us.
　
Offinsohene is another rogue. Was he not the one who was sometime ago accused by his subjects of dealing questionably with some stool regalia? He was accused of dubiously disposing of stool property for personal gain. If he is the same person, he had better steer clear from Kumawu issues. I am aware of how he is messing about with Kumawu, poking his "Pinocchio" nose into our affairs for his usual selfish interests.
　
Manso-Nkwantahene is another schemer. The fact that he has an out-of-wedlock child by Esumejahemaa, and she being friends with Kumawuhemaa, does not bequeath to him the right to meddle in Kumawu chieftaincy affairs. If he pursues the justification of his special relationship with both women by needlessly trying to undermine the citizens of Kumawuman in favour of Kumawuhemaa, then he had better think twice.
　
My advice to the above-mentioned chiefs who have steeled themselves to perform the dangerous task of assisting Kumawuhemaa by "hook or crook" to impose a puppet as Kumawuhene on Kumawu that they can easily manipulate to steal from us is, their plan will not wash. The people are now wiser and are ready to counter their mischief.
　
I shall be leading the onslaught of liberating Kumawuman from the rogues sitting as the traditional leaders of Asanteman. Their plan is to feed fat on the ignorance and stupidity of Kumawuhemaa who never learnt any sensible thing from her decades of residence in Canada. One wonders how both Asantehene and Kumawuhemaa who have lived many years in Canada could collude to cause deliberate harm to Kumawu Traditional area. Are their actions not a disgrace to the Canadians who accorded them sanctuary when they both so much needed help? Is that how best they can recompense the generosity, wisdom, and intelligence of the Canadians by their despicable acts of untruthfulness, insatiable greed and authoritarianism?
　
Our abusive traditional heads or leaders will not have it easy in year 2014 going forwar. To them, I say, hands off Kumawu!d
　
Long live Asanteman without crooks abounding in the top traditional echelon!
　
Happy & Prosperous New Year to all discerning and selfless Kumawuman citizens the world over. 2014 will be your Year of total Liberation from the debilitating harmful grips of Kumawuhemaa, her agents and assigns.
