    I agree with everything that has been said about Asantehene not being a king. He is a Paramount Chief. In the case of Asantehene in particular, he is a Paramount Thief.

  • Kofi One 3 weeks ago

    She is the granddaughter of Asantehene Agyeman Prempeh I so she is a descent from the male line. Why was the asantehema not chosen from the matrilineal side as is the custom?

    But you don't know who her mother is. So how can you ask such a question?

    I am not asante, I am asking so someone can provide clarity. Is there anything wrong with asking a genuine question without malice? Why are people so hostile these days

    Why always an old woman? Aren’t there any younger women in the Asante Royal family?

  • Paa Pee 3 weeks ago

    The Asantehemaa is supposed to be the mother of the King and the mother of the clan. She can not even be called a Queen in English circles as she is not the wife of the queen. But we do not care as it is their custom.
