Re: Kumawuman recognizes Barima Sarfo Tweneboa Kodua (Dr Yaw Sarfo) as Omanhene and at peace with his ad

On Tuesday 16 August 2016, while scrolling through news items on Modernghana.com to confirm whether or not my two newly submitted feature articles a few minutes ago have been published, I chanced upon a curious title, “Kumawuman recognizes Barima Sarfo Tweneboa Kodua (Dr Yaw Sarfo) as Omanhene and at peace with his adversaries”

Out of sheer curiosity, I decided to read the publication and look and behold, it was one Alexander Afriyie, a self-proclaimed journalist overly exhibiting his utter ignorance, incompetence, lack of ability to engage in intellectual debate and spewing his usual threatening balderdash. His write-up was disgracefully heavily pregnant with grammatical and factual errors unbefitting of someone who claims to hold Masters in Journalism. This is Alexander Afriyie for you!

I thought with the passage of time, coupled with his once announced enrolment into an American University to pursue further knowledge and higher course in journalism, he would overcome his problem with written English but he seems to be stagnant, mired in his usual error-deluged writings if not retrogressing.

I will recommend to him to go back to proofread what he has written, and once done, resubmit the corrected version for publication as the current one of which I have printed off a copy for my file is disgusting and very shameful of such a loudmouth who proudly claims to have published two history books hence looking down on many a Kumawuman friend of his.

His said books were rather booklets which were overflowing with grammatical and factual errors. One Nana Sarpong from Kumawu-Hyiawu helped me to purchase a copy each of those booklets in 1975 during the last Papa festival celebrations organised by the late Kumawuhene Barima Asumadu Sakyi II.

I had decided not to respond to any silly accusatory publications against me by Alexander Afriyie, an unknown Kumawuman compatriot but an absolutely lick arse scumbag. However, I have a duty of service to fellow Kumawuman subjects to inform them of the truth at all times. With this in mind, it is incumbent upon me to set the record straight by correcting the errors and lies churned out by this empty human vessel called Alexander Afriyie, the son of Eno Akosua Dakwaah from Asante Akyem Akutuase and the late Opanin Kwame Doffour with ancestral roots from Bekwai-Asuoho.

To educate this highly “educated-illiterate”, would he mind reading the full content of a publication I put out on Modernghana.com on 10 June 2015 revealing details about his origin to tell between him and me, who is more a native of Kumawuman?

Yes, my mother is from Juaben in the Ashanti region and my father from Kumawu. But where does his father or mother come from? Check the web link below for the facts.

Additionally, where does the father of Dr Yaw Sarfo come from? Is it Salega that I heard his uncle Mr Osei Kwabena say? What about his fair-coloured great great grandmother? And yet, he calls himself not only a native of Kumawuman but a royal crowned the paramount chief of Kumawu.

Does Alexander Afriyie now realise that I have the right to meddle in Kumawuman affairs more than he can?

Let me take him back to the basics of English language. When we call ourselves subjects of a stool or subjects of an area, it does not invoke or denote any idea of slavery as misconstrued by our supposed man of many letters, Alexander Afriyie. Suffice it to define the words SUBJECT and CITIZEN to convey my views strongly to him to get him off the high horse he is ridding but without a saddle.

It is said, “He who does not know, and knows not that he does not know is a fool”. Alexander Afriyie does understand English but only to a limited extent. He does not understand it to the level he outrageously makes a claim to. He makes a fool of himself getting entangled between the words Subject and Citizen as implied in “Kumawuman Subjects Living Home and Abroad”. He claims in his absurd publication under scrutiny that we are not slaves so we should not employ the word subjects to describe the people of Kumawuman.

CITIZEN: a person who is a member of a particular country and who has rights because of being born there or because of being given rights, or a person who lives in a particular town or city: e.g. The interests of British citizens

SUBJECT: a person who lives in or who has the right to live in a particular country, especially a country with a king or queen: E.G. He is a British subject.

For his information, “Kumawuman Subjects Living Home and Abroad” is a registered association in Ghana. He had better find out than to come out to throw dust into people’s eyes.

Again, Kumawuman does not refer only to Kumawu but the entire towns, villages and lands under the jurisdiction of the paramount chief of Kumawu. Therefore, any subject of the Kumawu Kodua Stool be they residents of Kumawu, Wonoo, Abotanso, Bodomase, Temaate, Besoro, Bodwase, Asekyerewa, Drobonso, Abenaaso, Ananangya, Woraso etc. could well be members of “Kumawuman Subjects Living Home and Abroad”. Subsequently, directing people to view pictures taken at the recent press conference organized by KSLHA at Kumawu to ascertain the fact that those in the pictures are not known Kumawu township faces hence the people were bussed from outer space to attend the conference is as preposterous as Afriyie is being irrational. They had come from all over Kumawuman from the towns and villages mentioned.

Yes, Dr Yaw Sarfo has been enstooled and gazetted as Kumawuhene. He meets MPs, DCEs, Presidents and other paramount chiefs and attends high level public and traditional meetings. To a little-minded person like Alexander Afriyie, that is all what it takes to become a legitimate paramount chief.

Let me refer you to the following two web links. Read or review them and you shall never be the same ignorant person any more. It takes more than what you know for one to become a legitimate Omanhene.

Is it too hard for Dr Yaw Sarfo and the registrars of Kumawu Traditional Council, Ashanti Regional House of Chiefs and the National House of Chiefs to provide interested subjects of Kumawuman or any interested sane citizen of Ghana a certified true form copy of the Chieftaincy Declaration forms filled out by Dr Yaw Sarfo subsequent upon which he was accepted and gazetted as Kumawuhene Barima Sarfo Tweneboa Kodua?

Why have they rather petitioned the Chief Justice to assist them withhold the requested document which is a public record from the requesters? Do you know that they dubiously condoned and connived with one Alexander Opoku Acheampong to get their said petition through to the Chief Justice?

Let it be known to you and the masters you so stupidly prostrate to or kowtow to, that you can run but you can’t hide.

Did I hear you say, Rockson Adofo is arranging to get you deported to Ghana for being an illegal immigrant in the US? When did I say that? This is why I say you do not understand English hence asking you to go back to Class 1 to begin to learn to write, read and speak English properly.

If you read my publication of which the first cited web link takes you to, and you do happen to understand it properly, you will realise your folly by falsely alleging that I intend to get the American Immigration Services to remove you from America.

I am sounding a final warning to the bigot, opportunist, and Kumawuman wrecker going by the name Alexander Afriyie that if he plays with fire, fire will not only burn him but will consume him totally.

Finally, Dr Yaw Sarfo aka Barima Sarfo Tweneboa Kodua is the legitimate chief of Kumawu only in the figment of the warped imagination of crooks of whom Alexander Afriyie stands out conspicuously.

Why should I spend my precious time on this thick person who is happy that the very traditional leaders he worships like a fool have cheated me by selling me a piece of land that has turned out not to be theirs? Instead of seeing his idols as thieves and crooks not worthy to be leaders, he is rather jubilant that I have become a victim to their evil manners. Is such a person worthy of any rational person’s attention? – Tweaaaaa Apuutoo!
