I am still not convinced a Ghanaian would be involved in such an evil act. It is so unreal and unhead of. We are yet to find out the truth in it. However, should it happen to be what we are all not thinking - then we really have to re-examine ourselves properly, because this scenario has left the entire Ghanaian community completely confused.
This suicide issue has shown how discriminative racist and tribalistic the ASHANTIMAN is. First they were among the first to say that the ASHANTIMAN is not stupid enough to pilot a plane into a skyscrapper. Secondly they say an ASHANTIMAN will never be idiotic enough to plant a bomb in his shoes to blow up himself on a plane. Thirdly they say that the 7/7bombers are stupid pakistanis who can never brainwash a more superior ASHANTIMAN to blow up himself 60 feet below London on the Underground Subway. Then came 21/7 ???????????????
What happened next even baffles the loyal Ashantiman himself because one of the ringleaders of the Suiciders was er..., one of er..., happen to be a part of a tribe called er...
Well I dont know because the ASHANTIMAN is saying that KWAKU ASEIDU is not an ASHANTIMAN... all of a sudden he must be a ghanaian. They say his mum or is it his dad? who happen to come from Okwawu Mountains...Even they are not sure? But what ever the case, they cannot accept the fact that this particuler individual have a royal Ashanti name...As far as they are concerned, every body including the Yorubas and Igbos and Hausa change their name to an Ashanti name when they are in trouble. Even they discribe this happy-go-Bomber as a Ghanaian rather than an Ashantiman. even if he was an ashanti,they assume that he must be an ashanti kremo who can come from any of the various akan tribe but not the SUPERIOR ASHANTI ROYALDOM.
Thank God KWEKU ASEIDU was not anyone with a name like AYEETEY KOFIGO FUSEINI IMORRO NII NAA and MUMUNI else they would would have crusified and Lynched us
I totally disagree with the last contributer, (Ga Mantse), this is still early days yet and nobody knows the exact circunstances which led to a Ghanaian man being arrested and bunch together with Islamic terrorist or suicide bombers so don't let us pre-empt the ongoing investigations by jumping into hasty conclusions or bringing our petty tribalistic squabbles into play here.
What you all have to remember is that every man is presumed innocent until proven guilty. After all from the little that I've read this guy wasn't caught or seen trying to bomb anyone so he can either be as guilty as hell or just a victim of circustances. Remember the poor Brazilian chap who got his head blown out at the underground ? I think we should all be cautious in our approach and take time to reflect on this unfortunate incident which has befallen our community without trying to cruxifying anyone prematurely.
I'm a bit disappointed that intead of working together to find answers to this problem some us are trying with all their utmost vigour to drag tribalism into this and you also know that the Ashantis are just a part of a much broader Akan speaking people.My name is Kwasi Boateng but I'm not an Ashanti so please don't stereotype. When it comes to matters of religion there is no colour, race or tribe, remember what happened in Waco;Texas a few year back.
Ga Mantse, please calm down now because if somehow this chap turn out to be innocent you'll have eggs in your face.
Kwaku Asiedu Manfo the alleged bomber who happens to be the son of DR KK Manfo hail from Akywm in the Eastern Region, so please stop misinforming people aight!
