Religious and funeral nation. I hear some people are hired to cry at funerals since they have the uncanny ability to cry voluntarily. Is it true?

Often, we get caught up in our own struggles and small stories, forgetting our place in the larger story arc — how our actions, choices, and achievements can and will blaze trails for those who come after us, so they do not have to spend their time and energy re-fighting the same battles.

Certainly, we walk a spiral path, but for generations of women, the spirals were so tightly packed that it seemed they were going in circles. Let us blaze trails so that the path we walk covers wider and wider swaths of human experience.

Trail blazing is what we do when we find ourselves in the wilderness, with no path to guide us but our own intuitive understanding of nature and our destination. Sometimes, we must walk through the night, guided only by the stars. We know when to sit and rest, to shelter from storms, when to gather water, and what on the trail will sustain us— and what will do us harm. We are courageous and cautious in equal measure, but we are driven forward, not only by our own desire to reach our destination but also by the wish to leave a viable way for others who follow.

Trail blazing is an art form. It is how we find paths through what was wilderness before. We push aside branches or cut them back, trample down nettles and long grasses, ford rivers and streams — through the inner and outer landscapes.***

Rawlings was simply evil, murdering as many as he could. In the end, he embodied the corruption of those he killed for being "corrupt." In all of this, Nana Kunadu wasnt an innocent bystander; the Jezebel of our time did her thing alongside her murderous husband.

For years, I harbored a deep hatred for this couple because my uncle, a member of the erstwhile Supreme Military Council, fell prey to Rawlings/Kunadu's murderous rampage. In the few years leading to, and since Rawlings' death, my hatred for the couple began to soften. Why? Our new leaders exhibited a new scale of corruption, leading the corrupt Rawlings to publicly voice his concerns. If a corrupt and murderous chap like Rawlings could complain about corruption of leaders that came after him, that is all I need to say.

Our traditional rulers, in particular Asantehene, are hand-in-hand with our political elites robbing our country. Putting aside youngsters who know nothing about our history, can anybody cite just one example of any of the Asantehenes of the past who was insulted or publicly denigrated for his evil ways? I'm old enough to have witnessed the tenure of other Asantehenes: each one of them was highly respected by both young and adults, rich and the poor.

However, today, we have a thief with girlfriends and mansions across the globe, supported by galamsey and padded envelopes from our political elites. He says he is so powerful that he isn't subject to our constitution; yet he also says he is powerless to stop the menace of galamsey, which is causing babies to be born deformed, and sending people en masse to the hospital--killing many of them.

If the Whiteman though this thief called Asantehene was worthy of being banned from his country, it baffles the mind that only the Blackman would think it was a good idea to make the same thief a chief and his overlord. And we wonder why the Whiteman is light-years ahead of the Blackman?

@ Lion, Abiola, Realnapo,

I appreciate you for taking the time to read my comment. That said, I cant help you if you failed to pay attention in school; moreover, your deep-seated hatred for common sense has sanitized your memory of the Rawlingses' murderous history.

I don't wish death on any of you. What I do wish for you are: 1) The ability to comprehend and recognize truth. 2) Common sense, which you sorely lack. 3) The ability to sift truth from nonsense. 4) Respect for your intellectual superiors, including me.

May Common Sense be with you,

Dungeon Master.

Frankie, so for all along you didn’t know this? It is very common among the Asante and Akyem people. Yes, and especially among the Kwahu people. Don’t you know that among the groups that I have mentioned, if a very close family of one dies, it is the Cocoa Harvest season. Yes, they have been paying to others during funerals so it becomes their turn when a very close family member dies.. If you don’t have money, don’t marry a Kwahu person who is rich and influential. Hahahaha.
As for the Fantes, they go to the funerals with their children and their wives and husbands to go and eat. Yes. And they even take some of the served food home for the DAY AFTER. I know because I married a Fante for decades and know much about them.
Hahahaha. The Akyem pay substantially but by the time they leave the funeral grounds, all Palm Wine and ODOKA drinks are gone.
And with the Anlo Ewes, the bereaved family should have many Gallons of AKPETESHIE around. The mourners don’t go back home until all the APIO Gallons are empty. If you don’t believe me, ask the Tsikata and Agbolosoo families. They even CUT some APIO before coming to class to teach, and after Lunch Break. Hah. That is the truth.
The problem from the North of Ghana handles funerals with PITO, APIO and sometimes BRUKUTU.

This is being blown out of proportion!

Imagine the family opening their doors to the general public to come and mourn with them without planning. My understanding with these circumstances where a prominent person passes away is that a funeral committee is set up as soon as possible. Then scheduled dates are set for people to go and sign a book of condolences.

There is a day for top political person, foreign dignitaries, then the general public. The crying woman should relax small. They can't allow all the 33 million Ghanaians to go in at this time.

The strange phenomenon of mere acquaintances or even total strangers grieving hysterically after the passing away of a prominent figure (usually a celebrity of sorts) is not unusual.
A classic example was that of the countless individuals (mostly female) worldwide grieving and wailing after the sudden passing away of Diana Princess of Wales. A well-known British media personality of the day made the observation that many of these hysteria-driven individuals probably did not shed a tear when their own close family members passed away. I saw for myself the truly embarrassing sight of many Black and Brown women in the Caribbean Islands and elsewhere BLUBBERING (crying noisily and uncontrollably) like crazy. Contrast this to the calm demeanour of her own family including her own grieving children.

Calm down before your inability to understand sends you to the hospital. Note the following:

1) Where did I state that the article's headline had something to do with a certain tribe? Agyena-Karikari was simply stating how our different tribes behave when mourning the dead (see his other comments above). His comments or commentaries on this subject are about the BEHAVIORS of our different tribes when mourning the dead. Dont you understand this simple thing called logic?

2) Where did I state that Agyena-Karikari was Ashanti because of his name? I was only noting the incongruity of you alluding to him not being an Ashanti because he castigates them now and then. Dont you understand this simple thing called logic?

3) You call me "odwan" because you say I envy Ashantis. How can I envy Ashantis when I'm an Ashanti myself? I only have issues with that thief who has been imposed on us--a thief who's banned from Canada--as well as those who worship him. Sorry, I wont worship a thief. And if that makes me anti-Ashanti, so be it!

Obviously, you dont see the glaring incongruity of Asantehene claiming, on one hand, that he is so powerful that he's not subject to our constitution; but, on the other hand, he is powerless to stop the ongoing menace of galamsey, which is causing birth deformities and sending people to the hospital, killing many. Meanwhile, chiefs in the Volta Region have done exactly what your thief claims he is powerless to do. Dont you understand this simple thing called logic?

Do you know the lengths to which Asantehene and his ilk have gone to santize the Internet of news reportage about his ban?

In fact, it took the interventions of the Rawlings' regime and the British monarchy to get Asantehene out of prison. Remember that Kunadu-Agyemang Rawlings is a cousin of Asantehene. Research this, as well as the full story. If you disbelieve this, then feel to imbibe my comments with a dollop of salt.

There is nothing wrong with what the woman did. Nana Konadu is an elderly Ashanti woman and the woman did not need anybody's permission to pay tribute to her. Singing words of appellations and sorrowful cry onto a departed Ashanti Royal is normal and again does not need permission or location to do that.

Honestly the family of Nana Konadu have to look for the woman and apologize to her for the misbehaviour of the man who drove her away else they will pay dearly for it..

The moment you typed ‘abrofosem’ we already knew where you were going. Mind you, orderliness and solemn respect does not originate from the west. It started from Africa. Our funerals in the past have always been solem, people cry alright. There were people crying in the house, even the children themselves are still crying. Did you hear that any other person has been thrown out for crying. This behavior of competitive crying and unnecessary noice to draw undue attention onto ourselves during funerals must stop.

And who told you grieving loud is disorderliness? You claimed you knew where I was going with my argument and yet all you typed emphasized your disgust at anything western. And for the record, I am old, probably old enough to be your mom, but never saw a Ghanaian grieving moment in any culture where they mourned in silence. I am also speaking on authority because I study and teach cultural issues. Under no circumstance should they have asked her to leave. The best they could have done was to give her a place to sit and let her know they were having discussions and would PLEAD with her to hold her pain, for the moment. She would understand, notice the atmosphere didn’t call for that, and shut up or leave.

If this helps, when I first read the story, I even thought she must have been a thief who wanted to get closer to the family to make away with something. I experienced that in my family before, and even that, I have become so conscious of the impact of embarrassment that I wouldn’t recommend this treatment under any circumstance.

It is only in Ghana or other African countries or persons either disabilities are mocked, then we turn around to claim no, don’t even say disability but physical challenge, which is even more demeaning.

Again, it is only in Ghana and other African countries that soldiers believe just by wearing the uniform l, they are entitled to assault civilians and get away with it. Let me educate you: the uniform signals perceive, protection, security, support, and what have you. They are the ones who should protect citizens when they are being assaulted.

Your post demonstrated so much ignorance beyond the meee we call a country. We are capable of empathy and cannot understand the embarrassment, and how under no circumstances should we subject any human to that.

I believe you able to critically assess situations. Now think about what I just wrote, and come again.

She only needed someone to advise her; her presence only shows who nana Kunadu was; kunadu belonged to several spaces and touched several hearts and lives with her movement even more than her husband. Most people forgave Rawlings of his atrocities basically because of this woman and her social activities. Such a wise woman. She could have led the NDC better. The party made a big mistake for treating her badly; she was naturally intelligent; no wonder Rawlings loved her so much.

When Rawlings died, why didn’t they stop people from crying out loud? Today, Panyin biaa in fie so they are displaying the buffoonery disrespecting the grassroots whose pain catapulted them into where they are today.

Nkwiasem - why should the Rawlings open their doors for the public to enter, if all they wanted was quiet atmosphere? JJ, Konadu and their followers have been always REVO REVO - ALUTA minded hence such stupidity toward a mourner (maybe semi illiterate); who never knew that the little she received from Konadu & Rawlings was infinitesimal sum of Ghana’s money these couples allegedly stole. Konadu may not even deserve a molecule of her tears. Why do people glorify the REVO murderer JJ and Konadu? Apuuuuuu

@odikro your face like a snake chewing bubble gum(PK). You couldn’t make sense of my post because you’re precisely your insult: buffoon, twerps, imbecile etc. Couldn’t a sensible person in Rawlings house, gently, pull the morning woman aside and explain things to her? Rawlings family & NDC have soon forget such ‘uncouth’ characters (like the morning woman) formed the spine of their fame & party? Now, that simpleton OFUI Odikyo’s with fart brain won’t ever under the wisdom behind my submission.

Who asked her to go there and cry like a fool? I support the guy who walked her out 100%. That stupidity should stop. Mourning someone doesn't mean you should go and open your stinky mouth and ugly teeth for everyone to see. That foolishness is fake cry. Overhere in the US, I have attended so many funerals for our Ghanaian community and most of my co-workers who are not Ghanaians. We don't do that here. Mourning the death comes from within. You may shed tears which is normal. But you can't go to the funeral home and act like you're mad. They will throw you out. She just went there to seek attention, that's all. Go to your family and cry anyway you like, you can even roll on the ground as some people do....nobody cares. But this is a civil funeral, well respected citizen of the country, and we should give her the respect she deserves.

Why didn't you confine your 'loud crying' to your bedroom? Did you hear any of her children, family members, other mourners, etc crying as loud as you were reported to be crying? I think basic decency dictates that you're be able to control yourself and behave just as the directly bereaved relatives were behaving in their house.
