I am not a fan of the president myself, but for matters of death, i will let him grieve. After the bullets can fly.
You're right lets give him some relief bcos its becoming murky for him after the burial we'll deal with him.
this woman is from Busunu and should be burried according to traditions peacefully. after all she does not come from where the husband comes from.
How can the burial of a woman be a problem? That is why I say all the chiefs' position should be just ceremonial. Ah, for how long.
"The family of Abiba Nnaba at Busunu in the Northern region is yet to be officially notified as tradition demands". So if they are not yet notified, why should they start fighting over the burial place? Anyway, she needs to b ...

Frank Agyena, where do you come from? Did you read the argument of the Chief from Busunu? The woman was divorced so, logically she reverts to her father's household and not her former husband's. This has nothing to do with ch ...

Does the chief decide where a person is buried? Do people get buried at Accra or Kumasi bcos either their wives or husbands are from Accra or Kumasi? Do they get rejected after divorce from spouse? This is nonsense from a ch ...

i join you in your admission that, we shd let him greive, after which we can carry the arrows n bullets again...after all, the cocks watch the eyes when still fighting
Are you talking about your Akyem corrupt Nana who emptied NPP coffers and diverted all their funds into his and Blay opana accounts? Nana Ado is a total failure and a disaster like Tsunami.
Nuna you are sick. Mad person.
You Bastard. Non of your family death will be know to even your home town people. Because I know your entire family are all drunkards. So they all die like fowls and nobody cares to know. So as yourself. She has born a gr ...

Please, no bullets this time. Allow the lady to rest in peace. The chief should be compassionate. Maybe Busunu is too small to handle the crowd of mourners and visitors and that's why the family wants the burial to take place ...

Nana Osei, you are wrong this time. It is not the size of the village. Even if she comes from a hamlet, that is her village & as such she should not b e buried in her divorced husband's town or city
Going by customs and traditions, even if the husband were to have been alive, she should still be buried in her hometown and not anywhere else.
Whiles alive she may belong to her husband and his family, but once dead, that b ...

I agree
Sam, yes, I fully agree with you with your comments
if you are referring the burial of Akans? However, I have no knowledge whether the same applies to Muslims or those from Northern Regions in Ghana?
A Muslim can be buried anywhere he or she dies
A Muslim can be buried anywhere he or she dies
That is not the Northern tradition. A woman, once married, belongs to the husband's family whether dead or alive.
The issue is with the divorce case raised by the woman's uncle. Bole people only need to perform some rites ...

Winnie, thank you for your feedback.
U can say that again. She's truly blessed.
Great nation Ghana? Are you kidding me Ghana had never been great and I doubt it will ever be. The country is ruin by fools, morons and imbeciles.
Yes, like yourself who don't see nothing good about your own country.
You lack dexency.u re an idiot of a sort.i doubt if u re a ghanaian.imbicile.

May her soul rest in perfect peace.This is a sad moment for our Dear President Mahama, to lose your great mother during this election year. I pray that her spirit will surely help you to achieve your second term of office!!
My sympathies to the president and his family.Losing a mother is a painful experience.May her soul rest among the righteous.Ameen
Why Bole? Bury her at Busunu where she hails from.
Right,they bury her in her hometown.
Why the rush to bury her that quick,why not even at the weekend?
Even in typical Muslim countries in some instances they bury after few days.
That is not in accordance with Islamic teaching. There is no Muslim country that bury late. Unless, there is a circumstance beyond their control.
Yes, IDDI, unless the deceased is ruled as a homicide case, then the necessary procedure is allowed to take its course, else, he or she must hit the dirt within the specified Muslim burial tradition.
Well,I know of King Husein,the father of the current Jordan King Abdallah was not buried the day he was dead,Yasser Arafat was not buried the day he was dead and recently Mohammad Ali was buried a week after his death.

(glow) must read “grow” instead.
Corney, too know, what has burial got to do with a "typical Muslim country"? A Muslim is a Muslim, wherever he is in the world. The rules do not change because of the location. Please stop feeding us with by-force lies.
yes, she should be buried in her hometown
You folks should put yourselves in the family's shoes. Does Busunu have the facilities to handle the funeral of this nature and its associated crowd? I bet Corney doesn't even know where Busunu is in Ghana.
Hahahahahahahahahaha!
Corney doesn't know where Busunu is?

Ghanaba, you're right on point...even if she was not divorced by Mahama's father, she does not come from the husband's family...she has a family
Please dialogue and peace will be the solution to this.
It says in the story that the mother will get funeral rites based on Islamic custom.
mahatma is fake Christian now we know
RIP mother of the most corrupt president in the whole world. I'm sorry to hear about your death but your son is a disgrace to Ghana. I wish he was the one to die because he is a thief and so corrupt to the core. Sorry grandma ...

Woyom, I think you are not normal. Remember that both the Bible and the Koran say we should love our enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

Wrong viewpoint. He was divorced. Why bury her in the ex husband's town? Why Not Nkawkaw or Sunyani? Please let us recognize the dignity in our ancestral homes. She is from Busunu. Bury her at Busunu.

Why do they want to bury her in Bole by his ex husband family whereas she was divorced by your family members. Bury her in Bosunu her hometown
Now we know Jon Mahama was a moslem but coverted because of Lordina Maghama ; what a shame ; we now understand why he does not take the christian religion serious and involved in murder and stilling .
you can't even spell common stealing yet you are ruining insults to people. fool go back to school, poor gramma.
Is that how to spell grammar? Go back to kindergarten
The President's father still has to bury her provided she did not marry another man and also has a child such as the President.
We are also praying may our mothers live to enjoy the fruit they have planted. May her soul rest in the Bosom of the Lord .Ark Tarbire
Confusion president every day confusion why mahama see your own mother bury .is common sense mahama disgrace president.don't disgrace the old lady body oooooo Asem beba dabi
what has the Presidents mothers death got to do with politics shame on u all ( premature politician's)
As far as she is committed Muslim. She should be buried at Busunu as far as she was divorced by the husband at bole. That is Islamicaly stated
The rightful place to bury her is her hometown, since she was divorced before her death.
Dr truth. U r very stupid
Confusion is rocking the entire Nation including President's mother funeral arrangements. What is happening at all? May her soul rest perfect peace.
She should be burried in her hometown nd not de ex late husbands hometown. ...just follow tradition....rip maam
bury her in mahamas bed room what a shameful president and family
Busunu is traditionally appropriate
May the soul of the late mother of President Mahama rest in peace,we are behind you and your family,the peoples of Bosomtwe NDC mourn with you,am Wofa Atta,com.officer.
This concern to Ghanaians? Shame to NPP fools.
Please let us give the President some space coz he is grieving after that you can offer your criticisms and political comments.
Why not bury her at Asomwdee Park in Accra to end the confusion after all there are more burial graves there waiting
May the lord grant nma abiba a place in heaven.
The LORD is the lifter of your head President. Be strong.
Keep the Good fight President. The LORD is with you.
Rest in Peace Ma.
Plis let ther wumen go in pace
Spare Madam Nnaba with dirty Ghanaian politics and allow her to be buried peacefully.
All those who are playing dirty politics with the death of the president's mother's death are senseless .RIPP mama.
Privacy is important
Mahama could not save his mother from dying with all the ill-gotten wealth. Money is not everything. In the end everyone of us will die, so Mahama STOP stealing Ghana's money to buy hotels, properties etc.
please.ghanaians should.respect their president.if.not anybody who come. will also face it.i want to ask many if they have a nice man like mahama in their family's.or if he is their uncle can they do so insult to him.or I cry ...

Ghanaians have been confused by confusion everywhere these days. What`s going on.

The President is not dying to stay in power unlike npp leader who will go to extend swallowing frog and engaging juju men world wide to be president.

Since Mahama benefited from the death of Mills he thinks he can benefit from his moms death..... Mama sleep well it is good to die peacefully than from the cause of the loss of your son in the upcoming election
Yes, there would be confusions and that oldlady would continue to suffer the pains in her grave for giving birth to an evil person like mahama.
You are a fool to be rule by a fool as u said. All you know is to blame what are you doing to avert any thing that is not going right. @Alex
Loosing a mother is not easy,all the same may she rest in perfect peace.Sorry president Mahama

THE CHIEF THIEF HAS SUCCEEDED IN STEALING MONEY TO GIVE FOR HIS MOTHERS BURIAL. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE FIGHTING OVER THE DEAD. THIEF MAHAMA
Traditions differ. In some places a woman belongs to the husband dead or alive. Separation may come. But in death one goe back home. So she should be buried in Bole.
May her soul rest in perfect peace
