  Otherwise I suggest a suit for judgement debt against the British Govt!

  nana,I used small letters to address your name because you're a disgrace to the name Nana.tell me any of the Akan tribes which doesn't performe the same rituals like the Ashantis.you're the type of people who are been brainwashed to hate their people but still don't no where the names come from. since you love using your internet to spread nonsense pls use it to learn your history and culture.... go and read the book called Babylon to Timbuktu,And they would tell you the Ashanti culture is the same rituals in the old Hebrew Israelites culture....?
