Kumawuhemaa Causes Her Own Downfall

"In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his course succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot"------Mark Twain
The above statement highly edifies my persevering pursuit to root out the obstructively destructive traditional leadership of Kumawuman. Having taken consolation from the above noble statement, I can confirm to be insulated against all the insults some misfits heap on me in what is a calculated misjudgement. For how long will Kumawuman citizens cower away from the freakish attitude of the queen by choosing to sit on the fence? Either you become a patriot by joining the fight now, or you stay coward only to share the glory after success. You cannot have it both ways. This is a word of advice to all the Kumawuman citizens worldwide who are still among the undecided, though most of them are silent patriots. "A word to the wise is sufficient"

Where there is a will, there is always a way. My unflinching desire is to ensure Kumawuman is rid of the intrinsically incompetent traditional and public office holders from its helm of affairs. Knowing very well that good intentions alone will not bring about world peace, I have determined to buttress my noble vision for Kumawuman with practical action. The pain of seeing Kumawuman residents suffer humiliation, insults, and the lack of essential development owing to the unquenchable greed of the leaders drive me crazy. This is the more reason why I have offered myself as a vessel of God to thwart the sitting queen from nominating and/or installing a person of her choice as the successor to the late Barima Asumadu Sakyi II, the paramount chief of Kumawuman.

One may desire to know if I bear the queen any ingrained personal hatred. No, I do not begrudge her as a person but have an aversion for not only her ruinous traditional administration but also her lack of interest in the welfare and well-being of Kumawuman, and her corruptness. My reasons for taking the queen to task, doubting and challenging her credibility to choosing or enthroning a candidate of her own as per tradition are as follows:

* The queen by her own impudence has revealed her ineligibility as a Kumawuman royal. Her family having been clandestinely co-opted into the Kumawuman royalty then turned around to bite the very finger that fed them. She, having a conspicuous question mark over her royal eligibility, has no shame accusing the famous royals of being slaves. It is paradoxical for the cooking pot which is always on fire to accuse the kettle which seldom is of being too dark. In her defence submission to the court, she denied both the Ananangya and the Odumase families of any royalty to the Kumawu paramountcy. She asserted that the sole claimants to the paramount seat are the "supposed" Ankaase royals. In a twist of events, reneging on her earlier disastrous claim, she accepted before the Asanteman Council that she is a sister and a family member of the Ananangya and the Odumase royal families. This sudden confused state of hers in an attempt to legitimize her illegitimacy as a royal led to the Ananangya royal head invoking the Asantehene's Great Oath on her. Swearing on the oath, he said, "You are not my sister and you are not a member of my family. Your family was co-opted into the royalty of Kumawu." The queen was unable to challenge this. What authority has a charlatan, as she is, to nominate, appoint or enthrone a candidate of her choice?

* The queen is insolent to the point of having no respect for any Kumawuman citizen, with the exception of maybe her sexual partners. She insults not only the ordinary citizens but her elders as well. She insults and slaps people in public whenever she feels like it while "high" on her white-powder stuff. This led to some people calling her "Lady Tyson" when she pummeled one Kwame Adu. Does a queen of such nauseating character the right to enthrone a candidate of her choice who will likely be an egomaniac who follows in her footsteps?

* She has not the interest of Kumawuman at heart. She has been going about saying, "Kumawuman people are uncivilized and swollen headed in their agitation for chemically treated water, or simply put, reliable source of drinking water". While imploring her Kumawuman audience who had gathered at her residence in Toronto to convey their condolences to her on the death of her brother, the late Barima Asumadu Sakyi II, she asked, "Are people in Kumawu not far more fortunate than their counterparts in Accra ? When for any reason the tap water is not running in Accra , the residents have nowhere to fetch water but those in Kumawu have always had streams to go to." She said she sees no reason why the people should clamour for water. How far the streams from the town are, one may wish to know? Are the streams not infested with germs? Do some inhabitants not get infected with water borne diseases, urinating blood and periodically suffering from cholera epidemic?
* She is astoundingly selfish. She once told someone that she has no worries about water. For whenever she runs out of water, she has a water tanker friend who brings water from Kumasi to fill up her residential water tanks at Kumawu, she said. Does this not explain why she doesn't give a hoot about the water problem confronting her subjects?

* She is corrupt. She had influenced Krontihene, Sanaahene and Samaahene to illegally withdraw a huge sum of money from Kumawuman accounts for her personal use. She has also sold some farmlands belonging to the "Abotanso" people and pocketed the money. She is more or less a big-time thief.

* She is a shameless liar. She is always feeding the public with false information. The latest of her bloody lies is about what transpired between Ms. Wurukye and the Ananangya royals at the Asanteman Council. She has phoned up her relatives and friends in the USA to give quite a different version of what happened when Ms. Wurukye invoked the Asantehene's Great Oath on the Ananangya royals. She had told them that when Ms. Wurukyi did invoke the oath on the Ananangya people, they were shocked, ashen, and their Head (abusuapanin) could not utter a word but nearly fainted. Is this not the very opposite of what took place? I will bet my only cent on the Asantehene to tell the truth of what happened that day, on this very issue. Did the Ananangya "abusuapanin" not call a counter oath on Ms. Wurukye for which both parties were charged a sheep each? Why is the queen then telling a different story to her overseas friends and family?

* She aids and abets lies and crime. She has instigated Ms. Akua Wurukye to pervert the course of justice. She has encouraged Wurukye to claim as the originator of the Kumawu paramountcy. She then offered the queen's seat on a silver platter to her Nana Serwaah Amponsah II as a God-send gift. Has the queen forgotten that when she was competing with the late Head teacher Osei's wife for the seat, the late Barima Asumadu Sakyi II having accepted a palm-greasing handout from her said, " I am giving the seat to my sister, Afua Serwaah?" This was said in the presence of the late Aduanahene, the late Ananangyahene, and the Gyaasehene. Her installation took place in the presence of these three and the Kumawuhene. Where was Wurukye and what role did she see Wurukye play in her installation, being the alleged person that offered the seat to the lying queen? Did Wurukye not have any beautiful, intelligent and wise person in her Adomako Pim family to be crowned a queen, hence ceding the throne to an Ankaase royal?

* She is a disgraceful flirt. She changes men as though she is changing her underwear. She is a human butterfly, jumping from bed to bed same as butterflies jump from flower to flower sucking their nectar. She does this in the hope of obtaining access to the men's pocket. What a disgusting greedy person she is.

* She has pledged money running into tens of thousands of Ghana New Cedis to some chiefs she is soliciting in the hope of installing her preferred candidate as the next Kumawuman paramount chief. Where will she get this money from? Is it not from that Kumawuman fund from which her late brother embezzled huge money in early 1970's? For her selfish ends, she wants other equally corrupt "Amanhene" to enjoy the money that could be used to bring say, water to Kumawuman. Will Kumawuman citizens sit unconcerned while she parts with Kumawuman lands and money to other equally corrupt leaders? No, I John will fight her toe to toe until she succumbs.

* She assisted her brother to sell most of the Kumawu stool lands and other people's farmlands. The money realised from such legal or illegal sales were squandered by both without bothering to invest a cent or pesewa in the development of Kumawuman. What prodigal royals are they? Is such a person fit to rule let alone allowed to appoint a similar waster as the next paramount chief? No way!

* She offers sex and bribe to influence decisions. She has at writing purchased the good-for-nothing Krontihene a saloon car. She had already promised him a car and a house if he helped her install a person of her choice as the successor to the late Barima Asumadu Sakyi II. I had written extensively about this. The Krontihene has accepted bribe. For his personal gains, he did endorse by appending his signature to the silly defence submission to court in which the queen accused both the Ananangya and the Odumase royals of being slaves. The queen has further offered bribe to Ms. Akua Wurukye to challenge the legitimacy of the Ananangya royals. The truth will come out. If she dares the authenticity of my claim, she should swear by the very gods she worships to the contrary.

* She is none the wiser. She is sandwiched between a rock and a hard surface. She is in a dilemma. In either way, she is a loser and maybe a goner. Does she think if Ms. Wurukye wins the case she and her relatives will be allowed to be given one or both of the chief's and the queen's seats to the Ankaase royals? She should be naive to believe so. For behaving stupidly towards the Ananangya and the Odumase royals, she will never be at ease though they never intend to push her and her Ankaase royals over the precipice. Anyone who advised the queen to run to Ms. Wurukye of the Etia Adomako Pims with the request of getting them present as the originator of the Kumawu paramount seat is the greatest fool of all times. He has put the queen and her Ankaase royals in a no-win situation. The Ankaase royals by this one action have bared their illegitimacy as royals. What a shame on their ill-famed sister, the queen? She is neither intelligent nor wise, though crafty.
Is the queen not the same confused person that told her children, residents in Canada, that only the seeds of her womb are the genuine royals? She had told them that even among the Ankaase royals, they are the proper royals. She further assured them of being the sole owners of the entire wealth of Kumawuman. Does this not explain why she behaves the way she does towards the Kumawuman citizens she considers ignoramuses?

* Her mental stability is questionable. She has been visiting a fetish where she strips naked. In her nudity, she is required to demonstrate the ignominious malevolence she wishes upon those thwarting her from imposing her intended candidate on Kumawuman. She sees the progressives of whom John Fosu is cardinal as the adversaries slowing down or preventing the materialization of her known annihilative plans for Kumawuman.

* Finally, I want to know what the Ankaase royal family takes the Kumawuman citizens for. Do they agree with the queen on her categorically stated assumption or perception that Kumawu citizens are fools, hence taking them for a nasty ride? After the 34 years of thievery, tyrannical and murderous reign by the Ankaase royals, would they insist imposing another from their fold on Kumawuman if they never took the citizens for imbeciles? Would the Ankaase royals be stupid enough to accept this if they were the subjects and the progressives the royals? I do not think they had given their actions any wise and intelligent consideration. We the wise people looking from our optical lens see their behaviour as just wicked, unfortunate and diminishing in common sense. They should evaporate into the thin air themselves with their nonsensical false claims to give Kumawuman a break. It will be over my dead body to have the queen instate someone from the Ankaase royal family as the next paramount chief.

Forward ever, in my fight for justice for Kumawuman. Backward never, to renege on my fight until victory is won for the suffering Kumawuman citizens. I am neither an "Aduana" nor related to the Ananangya/Odumase royal families in any way. I am only fighting to liberate the suffering silent majority from their shackled slavery under the hands of some insane Ankaase royal.

Alluta continua!

John Fosu, USA
