Is there any doubt now where satan and his host landed after God drove him out of heaven??? Ashanti is a nation that was established by a ritualism with all that shit about Akonfo anorkye, antoa nyama etc. Today they claim they have all the prophets, bishops etc but Jah lives.

Schools and shops have been closed due to the burial and funeral rites of 111 yr old woman. This custom must be halted. Nobody has been able to organize funeral rites ever since the old woman died. There are several dead bodies at the mortuary due the funeral rites of only one woman. They put so much fear on the subjects. ls this not a ritual from gods?

This senseless custom must give way to good modern reasoning. How much has the passing of the Queen mother cost the people of the region? Let's consider the cost of the ban on funerals/burials. And today, we are witnessing closure of schools and no economic activity in Kumasi. What the hell is this. We are in modern times and these acts don't make sense anymore.
People, rise up and challenge these outdated customs.

why should schools and shops be closed, is Kumasi a city or a country ? I a Ga chief dies in Accra, would all schools and shop be allowed to close if it was demanded by the Ga tradition chiefs of councel? likewise the Volta and Northern Regions. You know guys Ghana is going to experience tribal conflicts soon if these tribal events continue to take presedence of national issues.

People are quiet because it's a certain tribe. There would be ugly noises all over the place if the Ga traditional council announces ban on noise making. These same noise makers have neither had parties nor buried their dead, and finally they are baring kids from going to school all because of an old corpse. Let's wait for the fools and hypocrites to start making noise in Accra.

With all respect to the Asantehemaa, may she rest in peace.

I’m not going that far like Justice who said: “Ghana has really no future”.
BUT: The future of Ghana is hindered very much, by many things. Among others e. g.: As long as the Ghanaians are not willing to learn that “tradition” is not something statically. It has, by a learning process, to be adapted to the “now-time” and its changed values and conditions. This learning process is based simply on two things: Good and bad. The bad things should be removed from the revised tradition rules for the sake of a new generation.
If this simple fact is considered, no one, who is really serious can agree to that chieftaincy system any more: It’s simply overhauled and doesn’t fit into any society in the 30th century.
But this is Ghana and people are unfortunately very easy to impress and sometimes, sorry to have to say so, unbelievable naive, which some people, in this case the Asantehene use to their advantage, even if it is against established law. (Which is not understandable at all for Americans and Europeans.)
In no country which Ghanaians admire so much and want to emigrate there, neither in the USA nor in Europe, such self-opinionated behaviour would ever be possible and no one ever could put himself above the law.
It’s high time that Ghanaians wake up and learn:
1) That it took Americans and Europeans some time to develop the today's standards and to adapt their traditions, which, and I'm speaking now especially about the Europeans, they consequently did, because otherwise they still would be in the Middle Ages governed by many little dukedoms, each with an own jurisdiction and tax laws and terrible living conditions for the simple population.
2) Chieftaincy and democracy are two diametrically opposed things.
3) That it won’t work out just to copy or buy the American and European standards without having the deeper understanding by developing them on their own and grew up with them.
As I read in the forums of GhanaWeb.com, I’m not the only one, who advises you to throw over board all development-blocking things (e.g. chieftaincy) and roll up your sleeves and start to develop on you own, likely with some support:
BUT LET IT BE YOUR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AT THE END.
--
A simple comparison:
- World-war two ended in 1945 (72 years ago). From that on the European countries developed, some of them at point zero, because they where totally destroyed (e.g. the one who started the war: Germany).
- Ghanaian independence started in 1957 (only) 12 years later (60 years ago).
Compare by yourself, where they are today and where Ghanaians are today.
--
Two questions you should ask yourself all the time:
1) What would a chief (respectively) a president be without the population?
2) Who, therefore, has the power in the country?

To avoid misunderstanding: I’m not calling for Anarchy or Anomie, I’m a convinced grass root democrat.

This archaic interference in the administration of Kumasi is the cause of no progress in the area. Why should there school cancellation and halt to social and economic life of residents. This does not make sense in this day and age.
I hope the people will voice their opposition to this and other waste in the area.

Ashanti s been Ashanti for 300 yrs and they will still be Ashanti's long after you are gone. You don't have to stay in kumasi. You can move out if you don't like.

Not know. I am bible sabisabi. Meaning too known to the truth to tear of any attacking church, government or an institutions. I will go all the length with whoever and whip them clearly. God made the planet earth, the way it is. Beautiful and purposeful than the rest of the planets. Forget UFO's. Because, the holy bible make us aware that, creator God wants to come and live with human at the final episode of time permanently. Where life on earth becomes sirene, bliss, devoid of gunshots killing and murder. Plentiful.

You make all the sense and reason why people in that region should demand change and never let this outdated custom derail progress.

Congratulation to your remarkable way to use language. I wouldn’t even call your way of expression subculture – it’s much less and without any substance and relevance.
Did you ever think about where you would be without all the developing help you send your politicians out to get (or differently expressed: to beg for)?
A propose brainwashing: Uncountable Ghanaians are members on their own free will in institutions which take care of that part.
Unfortunately even that doesn't work out and they act against many clerical laws.
I'm absolutely sure that Europeans don't want people like you.
