Oh men and women of little faith, for how long will you continue to doubt God? Is it better to be a believing Abraham than a doubting Thomas, or, be simply a vacillator? How often than not have I revealed in my writings about the unwavering stance of God taken on the Kumawuman chieftaincy issue? Have I not always said God Himself has chosen a royal after His own Heart from the Ananangya royal family to be the next paramount chief of Kumawuman? Why then this ongoing disbelief among most Kumawuman citizens resident abroad?

The delay in the coronation of the chief is just due to the temporary indisposition of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene. The decision is made regardless of the reported and the ongoing relentless efforts being made by certain individuals from the Ananangya, Ankaase and Odumase royal homes to wrestle the crown from the Chosen one of God. Their fruitless attempts amount only to waste of their energy, money and precious time. Are these royals not unnecessarily whipping up the crowd to frenzy? They may be testing their popularity which to me is irrelevant and quite divergent from being crowned the next paramount chief of Kumawuman.

I will advise those royals going about intending to bribe their way through to the ascension of the throne to have a second thought. They are wasting their money! The throne has already gone to the Chosen one of God. Who is the alluded Chosen one of God, one may request to know? He is the one conscious of having been designated by God, abstained from the daily pleasures of life and receded into meditative hibernation since the demise of Barima Asumadu Sakyi II, the late Omanhene of Kumawu. He is that person who has since been on the ground in Ghana battling for his birthright which but was usurped by the "sikadicious" and malevolent Ankaase royals. He is that person known in private life as (name withheld) who will bear the stool name of Barima Tweneboa Kodua V.

My in-depth research into the history of Kumawu royalty has a lot of unpalatable revelations. Most of those who are not only agitating for, but are bribing their way through to become the next Kumawuhene may end up as ineligible royals entirely. On another note of interest, Kumawuhemaa will have no exercise of traditional authority to choose the next Kumawuhene. By her insolence and proven illegality as a true royal of Kumawuman, as per my research, she is automatically ostracized from executing any decisive role pertaining to the enthronization of Barima Tweneboa Kodua V. Those royals who have money to waste on bribery had better keep it for contribution towards the useful essential development to initiate by the incoming Chosen one of God from the Ananangya royal family. Anyone approached with the offer of bribe should please be honest with himself or herself by refusing it. Ask that royal attempting to bribe you, "are you the Chosen one of God?" If he answers in the affirmative, then ask him, "Why are you then seeking the throne through bribery?" On the other hand where he answers he is not the appointed one of God, ask him to vanish with his money. Anyone I learn to have offered a bribe or accepted any will be mentioned in my subsequent articles as a principle of naming and shaming wrongdoers.

May God bless you all for reading the updates on the Kumawuman chieftaincy as and when they unfold and are published.
