Kings, chiefs and all these Nanas and planners must also respect the right of other people. What's all the stupid bans for. And who even gave them the powers?

They will cut your head off and bury with the old woman. This primitive traditon has to stop. why should a person lose his head because of a dead woman?
Ashantis are the most primitive in Africa

Funeral activities in the Ashanti region is not only a normal traditional celebration. It has become a business enterprise that boost the local economy in different ways. If you are a progressive leader you don't make laws that will halt the welfare of your subjects. It is quite unfortunate that some traditional leaders will still stick with traditions that do not help the progress of the region and its people and Ghana as a whole. Times have change and people still have lives to live after someone die.

ON THE FIRST COMMENT BY ODIKRO, I DARE SAY THAT HE GOT IT WRONG.
RREMEMBER THAT EVERY TRIBE IN GHANA HAS ITS UNIQUE TRADITIONS AND CUSTOMS. THE PEOPLE OF ACCRA HAVE A PERIOD THAT BANS DRUMMING AND NOISE-MAKING IN THE METROPOLIS. THE VOLTA REGION, CENTRAL, NORTHERN AND THE REST, THEY ALL HAVE TRADITIONS THAT THFY OBSERVE AT SPECIFIC TIMES OF THE YEAR. THESE DO NOT NECESSARILY MEAN KILLING PEOPLE. TRUE, THERE WAS THAT PRACTICE OF HUMAN SACRIFICE IN THE OLDEN DAYS, BUT WHICH ARE NO MORE IN EFFECT. GONE ARE THE DAYS WHEN A DEAD KING HAD TO BE HONORED WITH HUMAN SACRIFICE, BUT CERTAINLY NOT TODAY.

HOWEVER, THERE ARE CERTAIN TRADITIONAL RITES THAT MAY NORMALLY NOT LOOK PLEASANT IN THE EYES OF THE PUBLIC HENCE THE ADVISE TO STAY INDOORS. THE SLAUGHTERING OF SHEEP, AND THE DISPLAY OF MUSKETRY BY TRADITIONAL EXECUTIONERS ARE ACTS THAT APPEAR SCARY AND WHICH SHOULD BE AVOIDED BY LITTLE CHILDREN AND EVEN WOMEN, IN SOME CASES. THE WAY THOSE EXECUTIONERS DRESS IS ANOTHER SCARY THING THAT CHILDREN NEED TO AVOID. ONCE PEOPLE STAY INDOORS ON THAT FUNERAL AND BURIAL DAY FOR THE LATE QUEENMOTHER, THEY PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM ANY OF THOSE LIKELY EMBARASSING SITUATIONS. IF ODOKRO THINKS THAT EVERYTHING ABOUT CHIEFTAINCY IS STILL PRIMITIVE THEN, I'M AFRAID, HE HAS A PROBLEM. ODIKRO COULD CHECK THE DICTIONARY MEANING OF THE WORD "TRADITION'. THEY WILL NOT KILL ANYBODY THEREFORE ODIKRO (ALSO A CHIEF) SHOULD NOT WORRY.

At least if the curfew began from even 11 p.m. or 12.midnight to 4 a.m. they could still perform their rites. Going forward i think these custom could be modernized by restricting the no go areas to few streets that may be absolutely used in the process or the environs of the Kings Palace but not the entire Kumasi township. If no activity must go on then even health workers, security service workers and drivers must not move during the period no matter the circumstances. Let us be proactive and about our traditions whiles protecting the cultures. I wish criminals would not take advantage to abduct people to be blamed on the perception the another human being would be buried with the Queen mother. God Bless.

If you don't understand simple instructions just play with the order. It is because of modernisation that is why the public has been forewarned. In times like this all clans have a code word in case of emergency which is said but because Kumasi has become a metropolitan city with other tribesmen and women hence the warning.

Not even the queen of England or the kingdom of Great Britain could warn people not to make noise or open shops or not to go out. this is pure non sense and it must be stop.

The 1992 Constitution of Ghana recognised Customary laws which embodied traditions and Cultures. But the Constitution never made room for cultures that takes human life.

Thus any culture that takes human life transcends tradtion and can be discribed as barbarism and those who endulge in it will have themselves to blame since the laws of the state will deal with them.We are living an era where we need to question the philosophical underpinnings of some of our traditions and cultures whether they are still relevant to human development.
We can uphold good ones and discard the useless ones.This is because cultures or traditions are like theories they were designed for certain purposes in a given period of time and can be relevant for a certain period of time and then becomes irrelevants as time goes by. Traditions and cultures are important only to the extent that it brings about human development and human dignity .Anything short of these render cultures and traditions very irrelevant.

those who are powerful are usually not full of hubris. Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King, Jr, Gandhi. All these were very great but profoundly humble. None of them would have instructed that their deaths and burials be marked with staying in-doors, or anybody enjoying themselves as they pleased- whether it be with drumming, or whether it be with dancing. But the hollow and shallow will try and make all the noise to be noticed. Such is what we all are hearing now, as if the silence will prevent the dead body from reverting to dust.
The times, they are a-changing, and the Book of the Holy Laws says "be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind". When the Asante nation was founded, there were no cell phones, the kings and queens wore danta. Yes, if you want to insist on traditions, let the king stop wearing suits. Let him begin to wear danta instead of boxers; let him cause talking drums to be beaten instead of giving speeches that are beamed over the airways; let him be carried in a palanquin to see a fetish priest in South Africa instead of being jetted to the best of modern hospitals for health care. Yes, be transformed by the renewing of your mind!
