This is the current state of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Teaching Hospital started by Former President John Agyekum Kuffuor to serve as the main hospital to the university,...... thread
also as a referral hospital and to also serve as academic and medical research Center for the university. An 800 bed capacity hospital.....

When J. A Kuffuor left office, President Mills administration never touched it because it was not an NDC government who started it.
Instead he went and cut sod for a Medical Center at the University of Ghana, Legon. Fair enough because as the Nation’s premier university, they needed such a medical facility enhance their health, academic and research purposes.
When Mahama took over from our late president, he didn’t touch the abandoned KNUST Teaching Hospital for same reason of his predecessor but rather put in much effort to complete what his predecessor started at the University of Ghana, the UG Medical Center.
When Akuffo Addo came to power we had a high hope definitely that this project being “his very own” predecessor’s project, he will complete it just like how Mahama was able to complete Mills project.
At least if not for the people in his supposed party “world bank”, he will complete this project for the sake of the university’s status in Ghana.

This is not just an “ordinary” university, this is a “Science and Technology” university for God sake.
this is the second oldest university in Ghana and the most prestigious science and technology university in West Africa. This a dream university of almost all students who are offering science in the various High Schools in the country.
So completing this Teaching Hospital will serve the same purpose the UG Medical Center is offering.

But what do we see? He has spent almost 5 years in office but nothing has been done to continue the project. Only 3 years left to leave power.
All these infrastructure help universities such as KNUST to attain a world class status of a university. Imagine KNUST without a proper medical centre, is that one too a science and technology university? 😂
Nana Addo and NPP government please do something before you die, Nana do something before you leave power, at least make President Kuffuor proud small, make his head big kakra na he also used tax payers money to build this projects.
Just like how Mahama made Atta Mills proud in his grave by continuing the UG Medical Centre he started, please do same for Kuffuor wae? We are begging you.

Your own predecessor started projects like;
Sofoline Interchange, Krofrom Market, KNUST Teaching Hospital
among others but you have refused to touch them why? Is there any problem that we don’t know?

NPP remember that the kind of NPP you saw in Ashanti in 2016 and 2020 will not be the same people you will see in 2024. “Enti moyɛ biribi a mo nwene ho yie”.
Remember you can never in this life as a political party win any election without the region.

Thank you.

This is the uncompleted Krofrom Market, located in the heart of Kumasi. Started by Former President H.E John Agyekum Kuffuor.

After he left power, NDC came to power and did not even touch it because it was not an NDC government who started it....
Fast forward, NPP government led by Nana Akuffo Addo has come to power, we were hopeful that even if he doesn’t cut sod in Ashanti in his tenure and he’s able to complete all the abandoned projects in the region (even if not all, “Most”) it will be largely appreciated because....
these abandoned projects will go a long way help our market men and women in the region. It will reduce the constant chocking of our highways by these our mothers and fathers who come to sell their goods by the roadside.

OTUMFUO OSEI TUTU II.
The Pillar Behind the Africa Home Coming.
THE YEAR OF RETURN 2019-GHANA

Many hundred years ago, there was in Africa enslavement of people onto other parts of the world. The great ancestors of Africa descents who became victims of the then inhuman atrocities Image
have lived on physically and spiritual till today at all the places they were brought. Most of them decided not to forget their roots and worked strenuously toward their repatriation back to AFRICA.
There are great men whose names were made mentioned towards fighting for exploitations, freedom, and justice during the enslavement . The slavery caused a lot of divisions among the Black People home and abroad and till today there are sometimes misunderstandings and blame games.

NANA YAA ASANTEWAA (1840-1921), THE WOMAN WHO FOUGHT MEN IN FRONT OF CANNONS. AFRICA’S GREATEST QUEEN OF ALL TIME. (Onyankonsroma aseni).

A paraphrase conversation when the British Governor, Sir Frederic Hodgson visited Kumasi.

A thread!
Governor: If you Asantes, gave the Golden Stool to Nana Prempeh to sit on, why don’t you bring it to me to sit on? Though the government has not received the Golden Stool, I will rule the nation with all power and strictness at my disposal.
(Nana Yaa Asantewaa after waiting for the men to speak and seeing that nobody is willing to ask a question, stood up to ask a question).

Nana Yaa Asantewaa: Did you see Nana Prempeh when you were coming to Kumasi?

Governor: Nana Prempeh has been deported to Seychelles Island.

Today is Akwasidae, enti mema mo nyinaa Adae Tokyi oo? Adae nto yie!!!

As today is Akwasidae, let us use this opportunity to educate ourselves about who Asantes really are?

A long thread!!! ImageImageImage
The youth of today and the younger generation coming up have been made to believe that when we talk about Asantes, they are one of the tribes of the Akan Ethnic Group, they are the only people occupying the Ashanti Region and Ahafo Region,
Asantes are the only people who speak Asante and any other group who speak other languages apart from Asante Twi is not an Asante.

This is what some text books produced by the Ghana Education Service and some other publishing companies have sought to portray in....

HOW MANY TIMES DOES AN ASANTEHENE WEAR THE BULLETPROOF WAR JACKET (Batakarikeseɛ) IN HIS LIFETIME?

Batakari kesee was consecrated by the Prophet Komfo Anokye to Otumfuo Opoku Ware l, because of how the demise of his bosom friend Asantehene Osei Tutu l happened.
Asantehene Opoku Ware was the first Asantehene to wear Batakari kesee.

Many are those that believe that every Asantehene wears the bulletproof war jacket (Batakarikeseɛ) twice in his lifetime . But that is not the case and cannot be the case.
1. An Asantehene wears the Batakarikeseɛ during his enstoolment as Asantehene.
2. During the funeral of his predecessor.
3. During the funeral of an Asantehemaa.
4. Should more than one Asantehemaa die in office during his time as Asantehene,
