Re: Asantehene is a Paramount Chief not a King

Dear critical-reader a rather interesting article by a Henry Smith entitled, "Asantehene is a Paramount Chief not a King" (https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/features/artikel.php?ID=1934182&comment=0#com), was posted on Ghanaweb.com, not too long ago.

After perusing the said article, an old acquaintance of ours responded by saying: "Massa, Relax, wai. It's all a bit of Kweku Anansesemkrom fun-fool-respect-jollity to humour sundry power hungry megalomaniacs, wai, lol!". No doubt there are some who might opine that that quip by our old acquaintance is cynical and disrespectful. Our response to that criticism: Perhaps. Cool.

Be that as it may, all the many controversies about Chiefs in Ghana, will come to a sudden halt, when the next Jerry Rawlings-type leader strikes in 2026: And the revolutionary regime he heads, then passes decrees to seize all Stool lands nationwide, nationalises them, and redistributes them to landless families nationwide - to enable them build their own family homes with 100-year levelling-up loans from digital bank accounts opened for that purpose, at the Bank of Ghana (BoG), in new planned climate-smart green world-class cities, across our bankrupted Republic, lol. Simple. Cool.

Naturally, Chiefs will in turn be compensated with 100-year reparation bonds, for which the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE), will be tasked to establish a secondary trading platform, where Chiefs in need of dosh, can discount their Reparation Bonds for cash - and continue to maintain the zillionaire lifestyles that they have become accustomed to, as private citizens, lol. Simple. Cool.

Furthermore, let us also not forget that India's nationalist leaders wisely rid their nation of the baleful influence of its once all-powerful Maharajas, because they understood clearly that inherited privilege is meritocracy's greatest enemy.

So, today, India is a nuclear armed military power, and significant global economic power - while Ghana, a nation jampacked with geniuses with the mentality of serfs, is declining and shambolic in many areas of its national life. Hmmm, Kafkaesque Anansesemkrom Ghana - tweaaaaaaaa...

Clearly, we must rid our nation of the Chieftaincy institution, if we are to move forward as a wise and aspirational African people capable of transforming our Republic from a bankrupted hell-hole (currently dominated by greed-filled state-capture rent-seeking big-thieves-in-high-places concerned only with looting state assets to send their personal net worth to stratospheric heights, at the expense of the masses and Ghanaian society generally), into a prosperous society that benefits all its demographics, equitably. Simple. Cool.

Massa, we are not in the slave trading era, oooo - when brutish and barbaric Chiefs fought pillaging wars to conquer territory, and seize prisoners to sell to European slave traders, as slaves. Yooooooooo...

As it happens, this is the era of the AI-bedrocked 4th, 5th and 6th industrial revolutions, ooooo, Ghanafuor. Let us stop humouring today's progeny of yesteryear's parasitical precolonial traditional ruling elites, across the entirerity of the territorial landmass of our bankrupted Republic, without exception, ooooo, wai, Ghanafuor. Yoooooooo. A word to the wise...
