No Sense In Flaunting Gold When Your Poor Towns Look Like Rags With Polluted Water – Bongo Ideas To Otumfuo

There's no point in showing off your gold if your poor towns look like rags and the water is dirty," Bongo told Otumfuo.

Hollywood actor Idris Elba attended the first Akwasidea of the year 2023. He was dressed in Asante bomwire kente.

People are proud of the beautiful Akwasidea culture, but Bongo ideas had his take which has caused serious divisive opinions among many.

In a long post on his social media, he says it makes no sense to show off gold when Otumfuo hasn't use natural resources at his disposal to good use.

He posted:

“…hope Idris Elba was shown the poorer settlements, old architecture, bad road network, and polluted water bodies that have made Kumasi look like an underdeveloped town?

Otumfuo has reduced a naturally-resourced town that should be looking like Dubai by now to rags.

Wei? Tueh!

He continued: “There’s absolutely no sense in flaunting gold as a cultural heritage while your surroundings still look like a pre-colonial township. The gold must be used to better society.”
