In Akan custom you belong to your maternal side but when you die it is your father who bury's you, unless your mother's side plead to the father for the burial. They normally agree to the maternal side for the body when the mother was sole responsible for the person's up keep. In this case it wasn't so, they (mother's side) didn't take care of the guy when he was a toddler so the father sent him to his family and now the guy is 45 and dead and they've showed up, that Anomabo family is showing mischief and they are disgraceful greedy people. They want to reap where they didn't sow. If that is Fanti custom why was it that Otuam was demanding for President Mills body when his father comes from there? They are just mischievous and disgusting. Since the PNDC law has giving children of maternal inheritance the chance to inherit their fathers, it is equally the father who must bury his child. Greedy bastards.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE TRADITIONS THAT WE NEED TO RE-EXAMINE. ( I AM NOT SAYING WE SHOULD TOTALLY ABOLISH THEM, BUT IT IS REALLY GETTING TOO FAR).

John, Daasebre's paternal side is from New Juaben, Koforidua, but according the late Daas(his interviews), his father took him n his snr brother to Accra when he was 9 yrs old. He attended De Youngters Int. School in Accra. He then went to Benkum Sec School, where he completed his second cycle of education. He has lived in Accra most of his life with his father, step-mum and siblings. He also stated that he built his house in Koforidua because he likes that city very much. I think the court should have given the paternal side the permission to burry him; because when his mum died when he was only 3 months old, it was only the his paternal side who raised and took care of him. Moreover, his wife and kids live in Koforidua. Therefore, he should be burried at koforidua. I don't know why the maternal side is being problematic about this issue. Ooh Daas, may your gentle soul RIPP!!!

What is a Muslim name? You mean an Arab man's name? Can't an Akan or a Ghanaian keep their name and be a Muslim? Na wa ooo! Thank God, Daasebre knew better.

Kweku, Muslim or Islam is not a tribe, but a religion. Any one can join any religion irrespective of his or tribe, country or national origin. Daasebre is an Akan(Ashanti n Fante). He chose Islam as his religion.

What a disgrace fighting over a dead man . Do you people know what effects your argument is having on his peaceful soul ? Please let the traditional Chiefs solve this problem .He grew up in Koforidua , did everything there and has his fans all over the world with Koforidua being the nucleus of his fans . Why bury him where he is not known. This is common sense . To hell with the Anomabu people
