Farewell to the Queen of Asanteman. Your contribution to the Ashanti Region was exemplary. It was through your valiant efforts and the effort of your son - Otumfuo Osei Tutu; Krobea Asante Kotoko - that the Ashanti Region has made tremendous progress in education.

For the past 8 years, Kumasi has always come first in the SHS exams on a city-by-city basis beating other strong educational cities such as Cape Coast and Accra. A recent survey indicated that 80% of students in state universities in Ghana are from 3 regions: Greater Accra, Ashanti and Eastern Region. As a young boy growing up in Kumasi, the city had only a few schools such as Prempeh, Owass and St. Louis that really excelled in national exams. Now the situation is completely different in Kumasi with a larger number of schools doing very well in the SHS exams e.g. Anglican SHS, Kumasi High, Kumasi Girls, Kumasi Academy, Yaa Asantewaa and Asanteman SHS.

As a man who grew up in Kumasi and now has an MBA (Master of Business Administration) from an Ivy League university in the U.S.A., I can safely say that your influence as the Queen in encouraging education in Ashanti has paid off.

We, the educated young men from Kumasi who are pursing professional careers in western countries would like to extend our gratitude to the late Asantehemaa and her son, Otumfuo for transforming the educational fortunes of the Ashanti Region.

If you're bored watching this beautiful traditional display go to youtube and watch some Taylor Swift or Donald Trump, how's that to broaden your mood.
