Based on Mr. Thomas’ enstoolment, some fans expressed their joy with his (Thomas’) new obligation for his hometown while others couldn’t believe in what has happened.

Jokes, our culture is being destroyed day in and day out. Africa is collapsed! Allow the guy to focus on his career , what's enstooling him going to do for him. Is only in Ghana that once a person becomes famous then they will come up with issues of making him a king.

It's a normal thing we do culturally, is he not an ambassador of his traditional area based on how far he has gone?

A tatoo Chief wow! An ear 👂 ring 💍 wearing King "Mahefalor". He is a midfielder but has been asked to defend "Mahefalor" because of money 💰. Our tradition and culture is fading away. Our history is gone. Long live King Mahefalor
