    African journalism at it's best. No editors or proof readers?

  • J. D Mahama 8 years ago

    Did you yourself read the article right? I guess not since there is nowhere in the article that refers to the man as the bride. Proof read yourself bro.

  • Oboobi 8 years ago

    Ashanti's do not represent all of us Akan. Ashanti is different from kwahu, Fanti, akwapim, dankyira, etc. e
    We may speak a similar language but we are not the same. Ashanti's are midget dwarfs but not all Akans are. Get tha ...

    And relatively inexpensive. No renting of expensive cars & venues, wedding gowns, foreign foods, photography, expensive receptions, video coverage, etc Life can get better again, let's get back to basics and living simply.

    So, you think being light skinned makes you more handsome than a dark skinned ghanian? Your ignorance is very flamboyant, and you are shallow minded than the average shallow minded man.
    Smart!!

  • Audrey 8 years ago

    You are really fucking stupid

  • BB 8 years ago

    Maybe he doesn't look Ashanti but yes he does look Ghanaian

  • yaa dua 8 years ago

    Where did the writer got his information? Did he speak with some elders or decided to show case the Ashanti ethnic group?

  • Kwwadwo 8 years ago

    The idea to provide some insight into traditional marriage is great. This article was poorly written however.

  • Joe Turkey 8 years ago

    Looks like Ghanaweb needed something to fill this space.

  • MANSA MUSA 8 years ago

    another idiot Joe Turkey...you hate anythin Akan....a fool like you....

  • aso 8 years ago

    Ashantis don't wear this white shirt under a cloth. You are confusing fantes with Ashantes even with your "bodze" which is a fante word.

  • Aj US 8 years ago

    Plz,there you go to creat a sound bite for no reason. The Akan tribe culture travel among all the Akans and even to the Ga's and the Ewes.so for you to come out with no tangible facts to say the Ashantis don't wear shirt unde ...

  • KBoakye 8 years ago

    The process described here is used by 95% of all the Ghanaian tribes and not Asantes alone. This people like hogging universal traditions. Very soon they will say Homowo, Asafotu or Hoghetsotso originated from the Asantes. ...

  • BOKA 8 years ago

  • breaking, breaking 8 years ago

    Ashantis are apes, lunatics and evil. The worst tribe in Ghana, very corrupt and uneducated. They thrive in grandiose delusions.

  • BE BOLD 8 years ago

    With your comments I wonder why the Ashantis continue to be the spotlight in Ghana and around the world. Chances are that you speak their language to get around in your everyday environment. They will continue to dominate ...

  • Ken Ntiamoa 8 years ago

    Ashantis are uneducated right? We are uneducated, maybe, but we are very ambitions. So ambitious that the youngest ever woman Parliamentary candidate, probably anywhere in the world, is an Ashanti. You envious dude.

    This mispreception must be removed from our identity Ashanti does not represent Akan

  • Sarskoberta 8 years ago

    The writer did not say that. He said the Ashantis outnumber every tribe in Ghana.
    Besides, their language is widely spoken than any language in Ghana.
    "Statistics tell no lie"
    Beats Me.

    What are the ethnic groups of Ghana, and according to the latest census which group constitutes the largest?

  • Miss Ghana 8 years ago

    This writer confused Akans with Ashantis. He is ignorant of the fact that the Akan group is the umbrella under which the Ashanti group falls.

    There is a saying that if you have nothing good to say shut your stinking mouth up- silly cannibal

  • Miss Ghana 8 years ago

    Are Ashantis the only Akans?!! Whoever wrote this article needs to go back to upper primary school! Ashantis, Bono people, the Ahafos, Akuapem, Nzema and other people who speak Twi are Akans! Go back to school.

  • impromptus 8 years ago

    Now we've gone for oyebo way, what a shame. Asians still maintain their culture, why not.

  • impromptus 8 years ago

    Fact. The Titanic Tolerant Tribe in the world. By far, the influential tribe in West Africa similar to Yoruba and Zuru tribe in South Africa. By influence, I mean many things: Kente is one of them.

  • kofi 8 years ago

    THIS IS NOT COMPLETE. AT WHAT POINT DO THEY CALL THE GIRL TO ASK OF HER OPINION? THEN ALSO WHO AND WHO ARE TO BE PRESENT DURING THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY. GHANA HAS INDEED LOST HER CULTURE. ALL WE ARE DOING IS COPY COPY.
