I think it shd include those representing Ashanti traditions in foreign land. It's so despicable seeing some of these so called Ashanti queenmothers in USA ,Canada and other places.

Even chiefs who have beards aren't fit to be chiefs because in Akan tradition chiefs are not suppose to have beards.

You are right, chiefs with Board must be destooled , it's against ashanti customs.
This differentiate the akans from northerners

Tradition is subject to reforms, if it doesn't cause any harm why can't you make some reforms as the world and the people are changing.
Can you say that every tradition you do now was done that way in the past centuries?

You people are just conservative. For heaven sake we are in the 21st century. Remember that culture is not static but it is a dynamic process that changes over time.

Will you also condemn church going, quack pastors and quack prophets since these are not part of the culture? And will you also condemn civil marriages since those also are not part of the culture? Will you urge people to stop seeking care at hospitals since these hospitals do not practice traditional medicine and are therefore not a part of the culture? You're aware of a seven year old boy who drinks alcohol and that father says the boy gets possessed when he drinks alcohol and nothing happens to him. Why don't you condemn the father for allowing his seven year old son to consume alcohol? Why urge people to refrain from doing things that aren't harming anyone? People are free to choose to engage in certain cultural practices, and they also are free to engage in certain practices that others may see as not being part of their culture. If it's fine for men to paint their faces during certain celebrations and festivities, then women also should be free to use makeup and artificial nails whenever they choose.

@Julor Caesar. Well said. I can not agree with you more. I hope they will tell the Asantehene that it is against their culture to belong to a white man's religion and that he should stop with his efforts to renovate the hospital in Kumasi because it is not a hospital with traditional practitioners. It is a western inspired hospital.
