Menstruating women give birth to Kings Let's leave it to God. Gross dishonesty. Deception and betrayal. If these women aren't mentruating they wouldn't give birth to even kings.

IS THERE NO HEIR YOUNGER THAN THIS? Women who are past their menopause period are those in their fifties. Doesnt require rocket science to figure this out. This asante chief is simply not normal and does things abnormally. Tradition gone to bunkers!

Re: Asantehemaa should not menstruate - Nana Ama K That's right. That's tradition... and it must stay... Even in the ancient Israel women who were 'ceremoniously unclean (menstruated women) were not allowed to enter some places of worship and perform other duties....

Re: Asantehemaa should not menstruate - Nana Ama K But can't u get a woman far less than 83yesrs old who does not mensturate? Unreasonable explanation indeed.To replace an old lady with an old lady means postponement of Nanas funeral. I think Otumfour takes pride in funerals,

Jesus Christ is the Light Our chieftaincy system is full of idolatry(praying to deities and ancestors), sometimes in disguise as culture and tradition. You need the discerning guidance of the Holy Spirit to unravel them.
