Elvisacheampong8 stated:

"Nana, be careful oo, this is only for optics. Deep down, the hatred is there. You remember what Dag Mills said about you some years ago. Hmm."

Aphieme commented:

"His Eminence Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams said, 'African Kings deɛ, Nyame ne w'adi ni yie.' To wit: Of all the African kings, God has favoured you."

Daky3heneBediako added:

"Asantehene always involves others when he shares laughter with anyone. Deeply, I can tell my King is shy and humble paa. I love him."

Nana Kwadwo Dignity stated:

"Everybody wants to shake hands with the great king. Wow."

Mr C-zar added:

"Otumfuo is the epitome of a real king in Africa. He is being respected by great leaders all over the world. Tribalism, low self-esteem, and an inferiority complex in our dear country make some people hate him with passion, forgetting he is the only hope for Ghana when we need help from our foreign donors. Let's join hands and push what is our pride."
