Funeral is also a business. Asantes will do what Asantes will do. They have utmost respect for their king and queen, their culture and institution of chieftaincy.

Funeral is also a business. Asantes will do what Asantes will do. They have utmost respect for their king and queen, their culture and institution of chieftaincy.

Let them be, and may be you should have the same appreciation for yours. Nobody is stopping you from going about your business.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.… They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen. (Romans 1:21-23, 25)

And who is complaining about halted business activities,except observers who do not appreciate the on going tradition and customs. And for your information,it isn't just a funeral,but also a show case of the rich cultural heritage that we have as Asanteman,Ghanaian and African. And she is our adorable Queen ????.

Certain traditions must be checked otherwise some are unacceptable.Looking at the burial rites of the Asantehemaa,the are too much restrictions, do not do this ,do not do that,I think we need review and abandoned certain unnecessary practices. Because once a person is dead,there is nothing that you can do to help the the mortal remains.

What was unacceptable during this celebration,can you point out some of the unnecessary practices concerning this funeral. Everyone knows that once a person dies,nothing can bring the person back,and who is saying that,these traditions,customs,norms and rites were done to bring the Queen ???? back to life. Asanteman was just appreciating its rich cultural heritage and celebrating the great Queen ???? who happened to be the Mother of Asanteman period.
