Surely with time, Nananom will give Ashanti a clever and calm Queen.

Honestly speaking, what can an 83 year old woman bring to the table? Only ceremonial head? Nothing more than this can come out of a woman of that age.

This system pushes women and their children to the side lines. A country that does not focus on the women and children does not progress.

There has never been an Asantehemaa below the age of 70. It's always given to an old lady. It's more like an abusuapanin within the clan system. It's given to someone who has a good understanding of culture and has witnessed it for years to be able to counsel the asantehene.

In as much as I don't really follow chieftaincy affairs in our modern world, I still hv to criticize the asantehene for playing politics into selecting his late mom's successor. There are equally qualified young and energetic ladies in the oyoko clan who can be successors to the throne , yet he gave it to his almost-to-the-grave sister. To me it's wrong and that the asanteman council should challenge this nomination. The throne doesn't belong to Afia Kobi and her children alone. Anyways like I said I don't follow these chieftaincy affairs in our modern world cuz to me chiefs don't play any role in our modern society in the face of formed government, the rule of law and the establishment of the security agencies. I don't really know what they do apart from exhibiting wealth and arrogance.

Papa Yaw ur argument is vague... we're all descendants of Adam. Adam was over 130 years before he died according to the Bible. Is it a guarantee that every man or woman is destined to be the same age as Adam? The late Asantehemaa has a totally different genetic constitution from her daughter so the fact that she lived up to 111 years is a guarantee that her daughter will live that long. She's too old for that position. Period !
