I am sure the United Nations will adopt Asanteman as a world heritage. Ghana has once again showed the world what we have.

There are those who see anything we do as "backward" and I pity those folks. We have a rich culture and tradition which we should not abandoned because it makes us unique.

If those who "act as our overlord" has something like this trust me, they will tell us to adopt it or no money for us and with that threat, we will swallow it with glee. That is how stupid and shallow-minded we are.

You are also wrong. From Techiman, we came to Akrokyere to establish Adansi. Denhyeras crossed river Offin to become Denkyira, Assin people crossed river Pra to become Assin. The migration kept going. Akyem people left Sodua also around Akrokyere to Kyebi. Asantehene's family left Abedwum to Kumawu and Kuma ase. Mankessim, Elmina continued from Akrokyere when they left Tekyiman to their current places. We had Adansi, before Denkyira. Okomfo Anokye created the Asanteman which was a replica of Adansi, the only group with one king. All other sub-groups are independent.

Can you tell all and sundry the primitiveness about this regalia? Imagine a uniform worn by George Washington is displayed or that of Napoleon, will you describe that as primitive?

You are among those Ghanaians who see anything about them as backward but remember that you are a black man from Ghana. If a black American commits a crime, how is he described? "An African-American male". Now how long has black people lived in the US and why can't the African be erased when it comes to their description?

There is so much indiscipline and lack of respect among the youth in Ghanaian societies. This is simply due to the denigration of our traditions, and this was started by Rawlings and his gang. For us not to lose touch which our traditions, it is important that the different traditions of the tribes in Ghana should be taught in schools, depending on the district where each school is sited. A department of cultural studies should be established within the Ministry of Education and senior males and females who are well versed in traditional matters be employed to teach in different schools.Many of us have even forgotten our dances and customs and have copied disgusting western norms in the name of "civilisation".

The Guilt of Humankind
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and wickedness of those who by their wickedness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 Ever since the creation of the world his eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things he has made. So they are without excuse; 21 for though they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their senseless minds were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools; 23 and they exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling a mortal human being or birds or four-footed animals or reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to degrading passions. Their women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error.

28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind and to things that should not be done. 29 They were filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, covetousness, malice. Full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, craftiness, they are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters,[f] insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, rebellious toward parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 They know God’s decree, that those who practice such things deserve to die—yet they not only do them but even applaud others who practice them
