He maintained that the MP\u2019s sister and husband were all cocaine dealers, and it was from drug money that they set up a petrol filling station in Madina, among other properties, including a hotel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I am not holding court for Kennedy Agyapong for going ballistic and insulting Northerners with his PEPENI and crack heels diatribe. I don&#8217;t have any sympathy for Alhaji Bature and would have praised Kennedy Agyepong if he had directed his insults to Bature alone instead of going bonkers and insulting all Northereners because blabbermouth &#8216;kaaji kaaji&#8217; Bature,a self ascribed &#8216;well known&#8217;<br \/>Journalist should learn how to behave going from one radio station to another tarnishing the image of People he wished to have been.<\/p>\n<p>What we have to realise is that, Bature started this nonsense accusing Kennedy Agyepong and his family members of being drug dealers without providing a scientilla of evidence to back his prevarications. He Agyapong has every right to defend his family&#8217;s honor. Bature is a low life who accepted a used Toyota<br \/>RAV4 from the Mills NDC administration to tarnish the image of NPPians, he deserves no sympathy.<\/p>\n<p>It is now fashionable among non-Akans, especially the Ewes to accuse anybody who is rich with Akan name of being a drug dealer, how did we end up in this mess? Even `Asantehene has not escaped the hate mongers scapel. Asantehene bought a mansion in London for 5 million dollars and Asanti haters attributed it to cocaine money when this King earns enough royalties from properties in Ashanti region and beyond its borders to pay for this house. The reputation of rich Akans, especially Asantis are being destroyed by jealous<br \/>people who always attribute the success of these people through thimblerig or drug deals. The sockdolager by Kennedy Agyepong to Alhaji Bature was in order because he has every right to defend himself and his family&#8217;s reputation.<\/p>\n<p>As an Asanti, it&#8217;s very irritating when other people drug dealings are put at the footsteps of our doors. Eric Amoateng is busted for dealing drugs in USA and Asantis were carved like thanksgiving turkey at the dinning table when Amoateng is a Bono from Nkoranza. Asantis did not even escape from NDC drug courier Benneh&#8217;s transgressions in Switzerland, when Benneh is a Bono from Berekum.<\/p>\n<p>Do we have Asanti drug dealers? &#8216;Damnnn&#8217; sure have some drug dealers from the Asanti tribe but tell me what tribe in Ghana is immuned from the drug trade. We have Northerners, Gas, Ewes, Akyems, Nzemas, Kwahus, Bonos and every tribe in Ghana engaged in this drug business. Kennedy Agyepong, you might not like the guy but at least he is doing his best employing hundreds of people at his hotel, telecommunication,petrol station and farm enterprises something Bature can&#8217;t match. Bature&#8217;s ranting is tinged with<br \/>jealousy.<\/p>\n<p>The government of Ghana cannot solve the unemployment situation in our country by itself but if we are going to accuse Ghanaians who have the capital to set up companies to ease our unemployment problems as drug dealers, then we have a long<br \/>way to go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>See the rest here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/news.peacefmonline.com\/features\/201102\/138603.php\" title=\"You Are Rich With Akan Name Or You Are A Drug Dealer\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">You Are Rich With Akan Name Or You Are A Drug Dealer<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> You are \u201ca nobody\u201d if not for drug trafficking, that is the take of Alhaji Bature on how Kennedy Agyapong became rich. &#8220;Rambling on, Bature said that he knew the MP\u2019s mother way back in the 70\u2019s and that she was selling plastic wares at Maamobi market, a suburb of Accra, and that during those times he bought \u2018buta\u2019, a plastic water receptacle, which had a defect, but when he returned it to the MP\u2019s mother, she failed to refund him his money<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-281865","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
