TRUTH UNRAVELLED, KING TACKIE TEIKO TSURU II IS GA MANTSE Ga Mashie for some time has been the centre of chieftency disputes. Reports generally say it's as a result of political influence, monetory or selfish interests. The title as Ga Mantse was declared vacant as a result of the death of Nii Boni Amugi Sorse Il, there have been a battle of the royals as to the nomination, selection, election and installation of Ga Mantse. Nuumo Wor-Lumor Borketey Laweh Tsuru XXXIII, Gborbu Wulomo Shitse, the Traditional Spiritual Head of the Ga-Dangbes, on 24th February, 2018, set up a fact finding and advisory committee led by Justice V.C.R.A.C Crabbe (of blessed memory) to ascertain the customary rites for the nomination, selection, election and installation of a person of Ga Mantse. On 7th September, 2018, Justice Julia Naa-Yarley Sarkodie-Mensah took over the mantle due to the demise of VCRAC Crabbe. This report was ascertained based on oral and documentary evidence provided to the committee by various stakeholders. The findings of the report however answers the three main questions What are the ruling houses for the Ga Mantse 2. Who is the Ga Paramount Stool Dzaasetse 3. Who is the rightful candidate to be Ga Manste According to the oral evidence provided by Rev. Gyasi Ankrah, Nii Yaote Oto-Ga, Nii Akropong, Nii Adzemankese and Professor Alfred Neequaye, it can be established that there are four ruling houses from Akropong and Adzimankese Divisional group; a. Amugi We b. Teiko Tsuru We С. Abola Piam d. Tackie Kome We History has it that, after a Mantse is chosen, the cloth is moved to the other ruling house, signifying that the next Ga Mantse will be hailing from that ruling house. It was ascertained that, after Nii Boni Amugi Sorse I| was enstooled; the cloth was moved to the Teiko Truru We to signify they will be providing the next candidate as Ga Mantse. It is also interesting to note that, Abola Piam, sequentially, were supposed to be the successive ruling house. However, there is a memorandum of understanding to that effect that they will have their turn after the Teiko Tsuru We. The Ga Paramount Stool Dzaasetse is the one mandated to present a qualified candidate for enstoolment as Ga Mantse. According to the report, Nii Tetteh Kwei II, who is the Ga Paramount Stool Dzaasetse, was suspended by Nii Adzemankese Shwilafo and Nii Yaote Oto-Ga was made to 'act' in that capacity. Nii Tetteh Kwei II was later reinstated. The two, however, enstooled different candidates as Ga Mantse. It was ascertained that there was no such title as Oto-Ga in Ga Mashie. Nii Akropong and Nii Adzemankese said the Ga Paramount Stool Dzaasetse is Nii Tetteh Kwei II. The question 'who is Ga Mantse' has been the subject for discussion for many years. After the demise of Nii Boni Amugi Sorse II, many are those who claim to be the Ga Mantse. The Late Dr. Joe Blankson (deseased) who became Nii Tackie Tawiah III, and other candidates like Aryetey Canada (deseased), Okai Kudza, Vandorf (From Abola Piam We), Nii Tackie Oblie II, Nii Adama Latse Il and Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II (from Teiko Tsuru We). The report made it crystal clear and factual that the ruling house to enstool Ga Mantse is Teiko Tsuru We. Therefore, we cast our lenses to the three candidates from Teiko Tsuru We, Nii Tackie Oblie II, Nii Adama Latse II and Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II. Nii Tackie Oblie II was accused of bribery, an amount of GH$15,000.00, to the Osu Mantse, the President of Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs, Nii Okwei Kinka Dowuona VI. This was captured and reported on the page three (3) of the Weekend Crusading Guide on Friday, 18th May, 2018. It is by this conduct that the report disqualifies this candidate for an unethical and uncustomary act. It was recommended he shouldn't be allowed to enter the Gborbu Koon for the performance of the appropriate chieftaincy rites by Gborbu Wulomo-Shitse. Nii Adama Latse II was also ruled out on lineage issues, authority of enstoolment, Chieftaincy title and destruction of property. George Tackie Abia, also Nii Adama Latse Il, traced his royal blood lineage from an alleged brother of King Tackie Tawiah I called Tackie Ago (A sworn affidavit dated 21/07/2011 filed on 22/27/2011 in Suit No:AP/128/2011, the Republic Vrs George Tackie and 6 others, Ex-parte: King Tackie Tawiah III). It was established that King Tackie Tawiah I never had a sibling called Ago. It was also established that, a brother of King Tackie Tawiah was also never made a Mantse to acquire the stool name Tackie. In his genealogy, Nii Adama Latse Il stated that, Tackie Ago married a woman called Dede, who hailed from the Teiko Tsuru We ruling house. They gave birth to three sons, namely; Nii Ayeh, Nii Adama and Nii Teiko. He further stated that he descended from Nii Adama, who married Mansa and Akuyea. Akuyea begetted his father, Tackie Abia, and he is the 10th born of Tackie Abia. Nuumo Wor-Lumor Borketey Laweh Tsuru XXXIII, Gborbu Wulomo Shitse in an interview disclosed that history remembers the said 'Dede' as a pregnant woman discovered in Anloga during the Anlo War. King Tackie Tawiah I, Gbese Mantse Amaar and Asafoatse Mankattah during the war, met a pregnant lady whom they brought to serve the stool in Teiko Tsuru We. She was then given the name 'Dede'. Therefore, how can a servant/slave to the stool become a royalty? Therefore, it is established that there was never a Ga Mantse called Nii Adama Latse I through which he descended. Therefore there cannot be a Nii Adama Latse II, as he claims. Explanation by Nii Yaote Oto Ga to the Latse is that there has been a Nii Adama Okuredza (1823-1825) the Okuredza translation into Ga is Latse. In customary chieftaincy heritage, the choice of name of Ga Mantse is done with measure of history. George Tackie Abia also Nii Adama Latse II in his chieftaincy declaration form 1B on 13th November, 2013, in respect to the name George Tackie Abia, it was fraudulently alleged that he hailed from the Abola Piam We. Representatives of Abola Piam We never claimed they nominated nor selected Nii Adama Latse Il as their candidate. Nii Yaote Oto Ga lI purports to be the authority behind the nomination, selection, election and installation of Nii Adama Latse I| as Ga Mantse. It is noteworthy that, Nii Yaote Oto Ga Il was only nominated to act as the Ga Paramount Stool Dzaasetse due to the suspension of Nii Tetteh Kwei II. However, at that time of enstoolment, he had no authority to do so, as Nii Tetteh Kwei II resume from suspension. This makes the procedure of nomination, selection, election and installation of Nii Adama Latse II null and void. There is evidence that supporters of Nii Adama Latse Il forcibly broke into the Ga Stool Room, a sacred place, which is contrary to the customary law. This is a total disrespect of Ga customs and usage. Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru Il, also Dr. Kelvin Abia Tackie, with documentary evidence, is the first male son of Dr. Ebenezer Nii Armah Tackie, Dean of Archetecture at KNUST who is a fourth generation descendant of King Tackie Tawiah I. This makes Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru ll a fifth generation line of King Tackie Tawiah I. The three royal La Torkpai of Teiko Tsuru We namely; Naa Korkoifioo We (Female Line), Nii Teiko Doku We (Male Line) and Naa Adarku Ashong We (Female line) have all accepted, confirmed and supported the candidature of Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II. The genealogy of Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru lI can be traced from Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru 1, Ga Manste from 1782 to 1787. His daughter Naa Korkoi Achereku married Nii Ayi Okai Tsuru of Gbese and gave birth to Nii Teiko Doku (now the male line of La Torkpai of Teiko Tsuru We), who married Naa Ashong Danso Dzorshie, Asere and gave birth to King Tackie Tawiah I who was installed Ga Mantse from 1862 to 1902. His grandson, King Tackie Tawiah Il was also installed as Ga Mantse form 1944 to 1947. The above illuminates all shrouded areas of chieftaincy disputes in Ga Mashie and acclaims that the right candidate for the Ga Mantse is, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II. Nii Tetteh Kwei, the Ga Paramount Stool Dzaasetse is recommended to do what is required to move the process forward in accordance with Ga customary law and usage. The Justice V.C.R.A.C Crabbe fact finding and advisory committee report on Ga Mantse presents detailed and extensive facts. I commend Nuumo Wor-Lumor Borketey Laweh Tsuru XXXIII, Gborbu Wulomo Shitse, the Traditional Spiritual Head of the Ga-Dangbes for setting up such a committee and it is my fervent prayer that he will act in accordance to the recommendation of the report. Twa Ni Omanye Aba!

The fact is that, Nii Adama II is not from a royal home and wasn't supposed to be the Ga Mantse. It was a mistake making him the Mantse. Adama's father was just someone that worked with the previous Ga Mantse. Adama himself knows that he is not from a royal home. So, the person who is the current Mantse is the right one because he is coming from a royal home.

Vivian… I concord

They can’t look into Asante customs and decide to learn from them. Each and every traditional authority has their own customs and traditions that guides them. The only thing that unites Asantes is the” Sikadwa” which they dint have so how can they learn from them. They’re on the patrilineal side whiles Asantes traces the matrilineal side so how do they learn from them? It’s just a matter of understanding, if they understand that the stool, per what I have read; that the stool moves from one house to the another then the other house should wait until someday when the current Ga Mantse reign is over and claim rulership err…fighting over it won’t solve anything

All the Asante states that time accepted the rules and regulations from Okomfo Anokye and He burn 🔥 all their akonwa tumtum and no tribe in Ghana can did what Asante did that time and even so Asante kings gave themselves for Okomfo Anokye to kill them for ritual and that has kept Asante strong 💪🏾 and powerful till now and forever 💛🖤💚👑💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Ohh yeah .. every chief in Ghana is a paramount chief aside SANTEHENE

The Adangbes speak *Dangme* not Krobo language. Krobo refers to those from Eastern Region namely the Somanya, Agomanya, Asesewa etc. Same way you cannot say all Akans speak Bono language is tge same way you cannot say Adangbes speak Krobo. Krobo dangme is spoken by the Krobos.
