Odike is on point, no amount of money you put there becomes diminishing returns and Nananom should sit down with great thinkers to bring developments, is bent but not broken. Great interview
Odike is missing very important challenges that factories in Kumasi face that force them to move to coastal areas. The main thing is building factories close to ports to avoid huge transportation cost. This could be solved if the Boankra inland port is operational. I think if he really understands the factors well then he should rather advocate for facilitating the completion of the inland port. I think he is talking from personal....
He’s telling the gospel truth . People don’t like the truth. I grew up in Kumasi and it’s sad! There was Coca Cola Kumasi brewery AG TIMBERS Bomplex LLL TIMBER ASH foam Neoplan B4 all this company’s were working & the youth of Kumasi got jobs to do.
Are you still in Kumasi, can you verify if these companies you’ve listed are no more operational? Do well to talk with facts. Aside the shoe factory that we all didn’t meet in operation, almost all that he mentioned are in operation.
My heart broke and almost cried when I entered the city after more than a decade outside. I grew up and schooled there and saw the vibrant businesses and nightlife.
It’s sad how most youth think you can only make it in Accra. Of course that’s the capital & it holds more opportunities but the cost of living in other places is far better than Accra yet how there you not to respond when opportunity is calling.
The man is VERY right, KUMASI IS VERY DEAD, THE ROADS ARE BADDEST, THE HOUSES ARE NOT BEING PAINTED, THE MAIN TOWN CENTRE VERY DULL AND DEAD, IT'S JUST A SHAME, YOU WONDER WHAT THE ASANTEHENE IS EVEN DOING, KUMASI CAN EASILY BE DEVELOPED BY THE ASANTEHENE, YET THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE PRESIDENT TO COME AND PAINT THEIR HOUSES EVEN.
What Odike saying is true, but he shouldn't limit it to Ashanti region alone because apart from Accra all businesses in the other regions are collapsing, every business headquarters is in Accra why ,every documentation you want do ,you have to move to Accra why, Ashanti region alone cannot fight this fight it should be governmental policy,
Mmm a lot of people are doing business in Kumasi and succeeding is normal to move your business headquarters to Accra but this guy just wasted a lot of minutes
I was trying grasp the wisdom in what you were saying and make sense out of it until you said “ double sales of land is one of the reasons why Kumasi is dead “ which part of Ghana can surpass Accra in the double sales of land in Ghana? The architectural structure of Africa never develops any other city apart from the capital city. Imagine what Accra would have been if it was not the capital town. Who killed and destroyed all these entrepreneurs in ashanti region? Reasons as an ashanti , I will never vote for NDC even in my dream.
Probably you don’t know this gentleman. Google his name and you will understand why he said what he said. Double land sales was something I never heard of in the past 30yrs of my life which made the Garden City stand out among all other regions. He loved Kumasi and made Kumasi attractive for business folks when I was growing up.
It is this warped mentality and tribal tendencies will not make Kumasi progress. With this unaccommodating mentality which people will move to Kumasi to invest? Your utterances and behaviour scare others to invest in the tribalistic enclave called Kumasi. Accra is very accommodating and everybody feels welcome.
The whole Ashanti Region generates 3% of national income. Greater Accra alone generates 88% yet Ashanti Region want everything in Accra to be in their region. Tema Harbour alone gives more revenue to Ghana than the whole Ashanti Region.
How do the region generate revenue if it doesn't get any businesses or major government services. That's how you build a country. But I blame the traditional leaders in the region as he rightly points out
It is not the chiefs .Odike should sit up.if he has issues with the chief he should go and solve it. Kumasi is not progressing due to our system of governance. Kofi, in Ghana our system is such that even birth certificate koraa it has to cone to Accra. Till they change that, Ghana won't grow. Cape Coast, Takoradi,Sunyani, Wa, Ho, etc are not growing. Odike is talking out of hatred
Kofi I now understand why Afia Schwarzenegger attacked and insulted u because of some unnecessary interviews u sometimes grant . It is the reason why at a point in time Mo na mo bl3 started insulting u ! .
U have spoken very well but how can u say Rawlings wanted to collapse Kumasi if he sent buses to BA and other parts of ghana that means expansion not collapsing that’s my two cents on that
There are more land dispute and hatred in Accra than Kumasi . We should not use tribalism to judge anyone . Maybe mr Odike has a problem with the elders don't judge
Stop fooling because it is in Ga people who said kuffuor is not a Ga therefore he should move to Kumasi if he has finish his tenure of office as a president. Fools , go to Kumasi and see Otumfuor surrounded by Northerners . Kwasia gyimii, it is Kumasi that we have designated land for various tribes . Talk about anloga , mfantsi newtonwn , Moshi nzongo , Yalewa , Dakodwom ! There is no tribe in Ghana that love outsiders more than Ashantis!
It is Ga people who changed Ohene gyan sports stadium to Accra sports stadium because he is not a Ga . Animal ! Did u hear any Ashanti saying baba Yara is not an ashanti so we should not name him before Kumasi sports stadium. Agyimifoc , nkran ni y3 nipa
Don't mind this useless Odike. He can't even write his name but he wants to be President. Kumasi is even choked with businesses. There are so many SME businesses in Kumasi today, unlike in the past when money was only in a few hands. At the moment, there are a lot of constructions and renovations going on. All those companies you're talking about collapsed at the time of JJ Rawlings, not today.
@@leko2319 are you normal? 45% more than the 55% left? And even within the 45% 10 % are not real Ashantis if you care to know. Anyone speaking Twi is not automatically an Ashanti.
Akans population is 45%; Ashantis alone is 15%. They make up the biggest tribe in Ghana. Gas are 3% and GaDangmes are 7%. Eʋes are 12%. The Ashantis are loud tribalistic and the Eʋes are quiet tribalistic. Akwamus, Akwapims, Fantis and Akyems play a significant role in Ga history. It is the reason Gas are very accommodating.
Odike never learn your lesson. Keep on ranting. Kwasiaman was it not kumasi you made your money selling your garbage to the people. Travel all the sixteen regions of Ghana and you will appreciate kumasi very well.

I've always said ghanaians should take a deep look at Odike. Odike really love Ghana. Period!
Odike is on point, no amount of money you put there becomes diminishing returns and Nananom should sit down with great thinkers to bring developments, is bent but not broken. Great interview
How can you lie like this
People are doing business and making a lot in Kumasi and see what you are here saying
Odike is a wise man
Odike is telling the truth. ..hmmmm
What truth , do ur research well before u sometimes talk . Someone Is fooling aa u are saying he is telling the truth.
Odike always tell the truth...
It’s very sad… Kumasi isn’t Active like years ago!
Because are agyimiiifooo even like you odike, Mahama is best Leader, asantes abaayifooo

There was Coca Cola
Kumasi brewery
AG TIMBERS
Bomplex
LLL TIMBER
ASH foam
Neoplan
B4 all this company’s were working & the youth of Kumasi got jobs to do.
Who is the cause for businesses moving from Kumasi ?
Are you still in Kumasi, can you verify if these companies you’ve listed are no more operational? Do well to talk with facts. Aside the shoe factory that we all didn’t meet in operation, almost all that he mentioned are in operation.
Ghana Tobacco in Kaase, Ghana Brewery in Ahensan and others
@@prince-dominiceven if they are still operational, what’s the growth and expansion rate!!!!!
Great interview, I don't know why it's so short
Odike is my boss far back he is always saying the truth and he knows many things he has to be in the governor’s to help in many ways
Kofi point of correction, Kumasi is not second capital but the second largest city after accra
We are learning! What is the second capital city in Ghana
My heart broke and almost cried when I entered the city after more than a decade outside. I grew up and schooled there and saw the vibrant businesses and nightlife.
They're rather celebrating Asantehene being invited to events abroad.
It’s sad how most youth think you can only make it in Accra. Of course that’s the capital & it holds more opportunities but the cost of living in other places is far better than Accra yet how there you not to respond when opportunity is calling.
Very important massage ❤
From 5:50 is very funny and direct shot at the Kumasi Ahenfo 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Odiki is speaking the truth
Brave man God bless you,,
He is telling the truth ❤

Another TRIBAL BIGGOT and VILLAGER. Who is now destroying your water bodies and farm lands now throw GALAMSEY? Is it the NDC?
Kumasi is dying for real
Ghanaians are still waiting for your updates on the arrival of the AMBULANCES
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ITS ALL JANDAM
Kofi we need part 2 of this interview pls
Culture and traditions ako y3 ntomafra ne twenebo... very thought provoking from odike
Akufo-Addo said the same thing. Odike is using Akufo Addo foot print but it will not work. ITS ALL JANDAM
Same as Kennedy Agyapong
Odike is 100% right
God bless you Odike
The Hard Truth 😢
The whole Ashanti Region generates 3% of national income. Greater Accra alone generates 88% yet Ashanti Region want everything in Accra to be in their region. Tema Harbour alone gives more revenue to Ghana than the whole Ashanti Region.
How do the region generate revenue if it doesn't get any businesses or major government services. That's how you build a country. But I blame the traditional leaders in the region as he rightly points out
FACT. Typically primitive minded people.
You man army that you have to respect 🫡
😂
All those supporting Odike are shallow thinkers and doesn’t know anything about economics.
Thank my brother! It is a foolish empathy he wants from people.
Great mind
Ghana ay3 mobor😢

Listen to this stomach hungry so call politician odike gyimie saaa
Splendid Arsenal!
TO ME THE PEOPLE IN KUMASI SHOULD CHANGE THEIR MINDS SET.THE WANT TO DO THING'S IN THEIR OWN WAY.
But you gave nana 4more to finish us. Kumasi people you haven't started crying yet. Tribal bigots
Very sad 😢😢 daddy sorry
Kumasi is not the Garden City anymore. It's a dead region
Kofi where are the Dubai ambulances. Any updates?
What political party is Odike in, I want to join him
We have fools calling them Selfs Leaders!
Please Mahama is not like Nana
Waiting for your interview with AKUA DONKOR to propagate your TRIBAL JANDAM AGENDA.
A president who does not allow demostration,the people grow to create coup
Wisdom
Very true 👍🏾
Obua

He is part of the problem
In 2016 he back Nana Addo and even said one district 16 factories
The sad truth

The gods of the GA people love all Ghanaians,they don’t discriminate..Ashanti’s are so greedy
There are more land dispute and hatred in Accra than Kumasi . We should not use tribalism to judge anyone . Maybe mr Odike has a problem with the elders don't judge
Some ga people and fooling nso you are not better than Ashanti’s
@@Uncle_Ken_Studio you see what you people did to your water bodies in Ashanti if not greedy for money..wake up sir your region is collapsing

This Ghana if not military government don't know what can change Ghana
This 20 minutes interview was a waste of precious people time because Odikes Argument wasn’t backed by any empirical reasoning. Wise up.
Tribalism is the case of Kumasi problem now .
Ask him which area
Fabricated stories
Don't mind this useless Odike. He can't even write his name but he wants to be President. Kumasi is even choked with businesses.

Why?
Stop being tribalistic
Stupid statement plus we wish we not part of Ghana ourself smh
What about your family members Kwasiato
@@abrahammensah9462you people don't think like before .
No Ashanti no Ghana kofi don’t joke with Ashanti
What’s there in Ashanti?
You think Ashantis that holds Ghana? You are making a big mistake. Ashantis are only 45% so be steady.
@@amafrimpong9598 I don’t think you understand how much 45% is; that is almost half.
@@leko2319 are you normal? 45% more than the 55% left? And even within the 45% 10 % are not real Ashantis if you care to know. Anyone speaking Twi is not automatically an Ashanti.
Akans population is 45%; Ashantis alone is 15%. They make up the biggest tribe in Ghana.
Gas are 3% and GaDangmes are 7%. Eʋes are 12%.
The Ashantis are loud tribalistic and the Eʋes are quiet tribalistic.
Akwamus, Akwapims, Fantis and Akyems play a significant role in Ga history. It is the reason Gas are very accommodating.
Lol
Odike never learn your lesson. Keep on ranting. Kwasiaman was it not kumasi you made your money selling your garbage to the people.
Travel all the sixteen regions of Ghana and you will appreciate kumasi very well.
Yet Ashantis are moving to Accra in droves. Imagine Kumasi to be national capital.
Sir what did you want from Ashanti Region you always turn down Asantes why, but peoples are blinds big houses in Ashanti Region you are hypocrite guy
Kofi you Dont promote anything good about Kumasi, you Dont like Asanti’s we know.
Did you have any business in Kumasi 😂😂😂😂
