IS THAT WHAT WE EAT?
It is very important to observe the distinctions between slavery and colonizations. Slavery as we always say evolved but never stop. But colonial propaganda was a well architected system by the axis of powers of that era to e ...

Hello youth of Ghana. ....You can take your own .life or someone's .life with medicine.....for instance 15 tramadol at once.........or combine medicine and akpeteshie or weedicide.
How do we know it actually works? Could you try it and prove this information to be accurate?
I agree with everything that has been said about Asantehene not being a king. He is a Paramount Chief. In the case of Asantehene in particular, he is a Paramount Thief.

Indeed, you belong to the dungeon so you can't think well. You don't belong to the civilized world.
You should know how to grow up your mind and respect your father, mother first. Jealous will kill you
Every well read Ghanaian knows that the Asantehene is a Paramount Chief who is seen as the PRIMUS INTER PARES. He is the First among Equals when Chieftaincy is considered among the Asante people. He is equal in rank to the Pa ...

We don't have kingdoms in Ghana therefore we cannot have kings. The reference to chiefs as kings is silly and must stop. Ghana is a one unitary state with a constitutionally elected president and parliament which runs for a f ...

@Frankie, I cannot stand that nonsense. Trouble is: Pres Mahana and his bunch of poodles allows tjat crap to happen. It seems as if he does not understand the concept of a Republic of which he heads. Nkrumah, Rawlings ad ...

@KO, all the useless gamlsey purveyor chiefs in Ghana are of of much use to me as a soluble drainpipe.
Nsia, you're too late. Your hope, the dormaahene, has tried severally to ban it to no avail.

What has Ghana being a constitutional republic got to do with the Ashantihene”s title? I would understand your argument if the Asantehene was claiming to be King of Ghana, that would definitely be at variance with a consti ...

Sir, you can't have a king under a president, no matter the jurisdiction.

He should go and read the instrument by which Prempeh 1st joined Ghana.
The Asanti Kingdom was sacked in 1901 and chieftancy banned and an administrative office appointed. In 1935 the chieftancy was restored but not the Kingdom as Gokd Coast was under the King of England or the United Kingdom. In ...

You and your family are drinking water with cows that is your problem.
Fa wo nkwasiaaem sooo ho. Take your stupidity away ok.
The Mossi Empire came to an end in 1897, dating back to 11 century. All the big Mossi "Kings" we have in Burkina Faso now are nominal leaders who represented the past. There can be no King in a Republic
What about the other kingdoms in the world? You mean to tell me they travel differently?
Frankie, if my cousins say they have a king why do you bother. Do you say same when Yagbonwura and Yaa Naa are referred to as kings? We must stop the hypocrisy.
GO AND KILL YOURSELF...TWEAA...OR YOU CAN GO AND BURN THE GULF OF GUINEA...APEETOO.
I believe they never asked you to care.
SAY IT AGAIN OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
So is there no young woman in the royal family?
Do you know the duties of a queen mother?
So what?
Who said a younger lady can't perform duties?
How old was Yaa Asantewaa?
So you support this abrewa being the Asantehemaa? An illiterate in these modern times?
If you are not careful, yours will come before hers
@Prudhomme - Ghanaians are unintelligent
OBVIOUSLY, it is the Ashantis who are "unintelligent".
The Ghana government was not a party to the decision to "appoint" an old woman to the position. So, why don't you say so?

You mother vagina ok.

Kk, we see you.
An uneducated ignorant mess.
An Ashanti ni with an empty brain, no oxygen ?
Without the work of an Ashanti, Dr. Thomas Mensah, your stupid self won't be able to type and post your stupid shit for people to read.
Please ask again and again ooo! Even if Mahama marries his side chick it will not be breaking news!
Petty people like you make the kingdom more relevant. Keep hating

Nobody has a problem with Ga Matse being called a king but people have a problem with Otumfuo being called a king
Please leave Ga people out of this…
The frequent reference to 'kingdoms' in the Ghanaian context needs to stop. By definition, a kingdom is a sovereign territory, state, or community ruled by a monarch, such as a king or queen. Ghana is a constitutional republi ...

ANOTHER waste pipe....
The Otumfuo has over 66 other chiefs under him. How can he be a chief?
F*ck off with your s*upid constititional republic.
"Kofi Amoako my as*"
Ghana web stop the nonsense by calling Ashanti region a kingdom. Tell the children the truth. Also stop calling a chief a king. If you guys has been to school none of you will call a chief a king.Period.
And here I was throughout my entire education made to believe that the queen always had to be the king’s wife.
Apparently not the case with this kingdom.Either I must be silly or it must be a strange or most unusual kingdo ...

You are clearly undereducated! It’s common Akan practice not just Ashanti
It is not a strange kingdom. The Asantehemaa is the Queen Mother of Ashanti.
The Chieftancy customs were in existence before Ghana so unless there is a specific law enacted to deal with a particular custom, that custom stays put!

Aaah Nana, why do you select older women
Young people must be encouraged to serve as kings and queens for the age of Metusilla has nothing with wisdom. Please avoid plenty funerals
This modern world,why always enstoolling grandmas as leaders whilst the young ones are there?A typical archaic culture.Bullshit.
Great. Tradition continues. Here, nobody can have the audacity to say no.
She is the granddaughter of Asantehene Agyeman Prempeh I so she is a descent from the male line. Why was the asantehema not chosen from the matrilineal side as is the custom?
But you don't know who her mother is. So how can you ask such a question?
I am not asante, I am asking so someone can provide clarity. Is there anything wrong with asking a genuine question without malice? Why are people so hostile these days
Maybe she's more qualified from a maternal background.
How many years can a 129years old lady rule. Or its a strategy.
Some fools here are more interested in who the next pope will be, but will insult those who this installation is of fundamental importance to.
Simply because they are brainwashed imbeciles
Otumfour want to do another big funeral and cash out he will never chose young lady who will be there for long, God will decide who will go first.
I am glad for the Asante people. There was no fight or drawing of weaponry here. Let the other ethnic groups learn from here.
We the Ashantis say Otumfuo is our KING. So what is the problem with these fools who don't us to call him KING? Is it jealousy or stupidity? LONG LIVE THE ASHANTI KINGDOM AND LONG LIVE OUR KING.
The Assmthene is a paramount chief and has no majestic al title and furthermore the Ashanti region is also not monarchy’s to claim the region as a kingdom the UK deserve to be called Kingdom because it has monarchy and a m ...

Why always an old woman? Aren’t there any younger women in the Asante Royal family?
The Asantehemaa is supposed to be the mother of the King and the mother of the clan. She can not even be called a Queen in English circles as she is not the wife of the queen. But we do not care as it is their custom.
