I pray the gods help you to settle a wise and calm Asantehemaa.
Asante needs a clever and not a noisy woman.

The king or chief's wife in Asante has no formal legal role in the ruling of the kingdom or village, unlike in Europe where she will be the queen.

The ohemaa in our culture is a matrilineal blood and clan relative of the chief. Since calling her a queen will be a misnomer in the English language (she cannot be his wife), we have settled for queen mother even though she may not necessarily be his mother.

We must be proud of our culture, People of Kumasi made us proud, you showed the world that we Africans still have our traditions and culture deep to the bone, we all will die someday, but dying for a good cause (serving our queen mother in the afterlife) is indeed a great honour and all those who gave up their lifes should be proud they did so, they names will forever written in the history of the great Asente Kingdom.

Culture, like water must continue to move(change), if U continue to do the same thing, do not expect different results.
Everyone in Ghana wants to go abroad, U all have relatives that live there, ask them what they thinks about the way U people think. They know U are still primitive but are unwilling to tell U because U will never agree.
If we want progress, we must move some of the old traditions to the museums. We have to learn from the civilized world and do away with institutions which do not promote freedom and justice for all including women and children.

I do tell them at their face including those in abroad. It will take progressives and well educated generation to shelve this so called culture.It helps to wonder why today's man carries the so called king on their shoulders.

Be proud of your heritage, those beheaded die with honour, it's far better than those dying for no cause. Long live our African tradition

I want to know if the current Queenmother Nana Bayie would be given a rewarding ex-Gratia by Parliament for holding the forte for the new Queen?

The Ghana media is so primitive and backward it is not funny. These fools at the media continue to stoke the flames of tribal warfare by the insidious reference to Ashanti Region as Asante Kingdom.

Asante is a Region not a kingdom according to Ghana's constitution, and these buffoons and inept media miscreants should stop referring to Asante Region as kingdom. Ghana has 11 regions - no kingdom. Ghana is governed by a Republican Constitution, and there is no kingdom in a Republic.
