The Manhyia Palace, the official seat of the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has reacted after the founder and leader of Glorious Wave Church International, Prophet Emmanuel Badu Kobi, made disparaging remarks against Asante women in a recent interview. Badu Kobi, in a recent video, Badu Kobi suggested that Asante women are greedy, Fante women are foolish, and Ewe women are like doormats.
Going further, the renowned prophet advised men not to marry Asante women because of the greed they bring into marriage. Badu Kobi's statements deemed by many as tribalistic has triggered a lot of reactions from a section of Ghanaians.
In a subtle reaction to Badu Kobi's unguarded comment, the Manhyia Palace has called for an end to tribalism.
Emphasising the pride in being an Asante, the Palace's official Facebook handle wrote: "Proud Asante. Say no to tribalism. #SayNoToTribalism." The post came with artwork which had the same inscription against tribalism on it.
Meanwhile, Badu Kobi has responded his critics saying he is beyond social media bashing, and that nothing destroys human beings than an inherited attitude. “Those who are wise started asking me questions but those who are fools started the bashing,” he said in a video.

WHAT AT ALL IS WRONG WITH ASHANTE FUULLLS. HE IS A MAN OF GOD WHO MUST ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH. WHATS ARE YOUR PROBLEMS? WHERE IS MANHYIA? AAAAH! HE IS NOT A LIER LIKE NANA ADDO. ***barred word*** STOP
Will my mothers aunties sisters cousins and nieces continue to worship with this so called prophet?
AarrogancCe of a charlatan....that Fante Women are FFOOOLS, EWEs Women are DOORMAT and Ashante Women are money and property grabbing. The dangerous part is his empathic statement that NEVER MARRY ans ASHANTE woman.....herrrrr! So if a member of the church approaches him with an Ashante lady to marry he would driver them away? I blame those who go to his church. One this is sure..this man is heading to a big fall without remedy.
see this koobi or whatever his name is face. the devil incarnate himself
Some truths are hard to accept and are better left unuttered! You can't blame the Ashante women entirely without looking at their system of inheritance. If your system of inheritance is patrilineal as opposed to theirs which is matrilineal then you will have issues with them!
Very simple but well loaded response. I suggest no one continues to escalate this and if the man thinks he will continue with what he thinks is right, let him do so.
