This was a great man who did not go out to accumulate material wealth for himself and his family but developed humanity without discrimination. May he rest in peace, the cause is a noble one.

See ourselves through the prism of foreign religions.Just like the rest of the world,Ghanaains are divided along religious lines.

When you thank God for ANYTHING you talk to Him DIRECTLY. WHY is it that the SAME PERSON has to ASK a Saint or what-have-you to pray on your behalf when WANTING something from God??
Why can't I do it DIRECTLY again ???

this doctrine of beatification has no biblical basis. no where in the Bible are we told to pray through any mortal. Jesus is the only way,truth and light, no body goes to the father except by Him.God is the only Judge as to who enters heaven not mere mortals like you and I. Please let us follow what the scripture says. Let him who ears listen to what the Holy Bible says.

Check Ephesians 4 : 14People, people, people; there have been and are already many saints in Ghana.Read your Bible that nobody will throw dust into your eyes.Read the Epistles of Apostle Paul to the Ephesians Chpt 1:1 in the New Testaments of the Holy Bible.I know and promise you, if you have accepted the Lord Jesus and confessed as your Lord and saviour, then you are a saint of the Jesus Christ.Any other sainthood is a thrown dust in your eyes.READ YOUR BIBLE, Y'ALL!!!!!!

For those of us who grew up around him, his actions and words of wisdom spoke volumes of his sainthood. Now let it be known to the world, that once upon a time, a saint walked among us.

Yaa Asantewa
(d. 1921)
The Asante Wars
(1805-1900)

The British found few people as difficult to subdue as the Asante of Ghana in their quest to build their West African colonial empire. The Asante Wars against the British, which began in 1805, lasted a hundred years. Although outmatched by superior weaponry, the Asante kept the British army at bay for a short final period of independence.

When all seemed lost, their power broken, their king (Prempeh I) exiled, Yaa Asantewa, the Queen Mother of Ejisu, rallied the Asante troops into war.

After being told by Sir Frederick Hodgson that King Prempeh I would not be returned, and further having insult added to injury by demanding that the people surrender the Golden Stool, the men went home to prepare for war.

In the evening, the chiefs held a secret meeting at Kumasi. Yaa Asantewa, the Queen Mother of Ejisu, was at the meeting. The chiefs were discussing how they could make war on the white men and force them to bring back the Asantehene. Yaa Asantewa saw that some of the chiefs were afraid.

Then, suddenly, Yaa Asantewa got up and spoke: "...I have seen that some of you fear to go forward to fight for our King. If it were in the brave days of old... chiefs would not sit down to see their King taken away without firing a shot. No white man could have dared to speak to the chiefs of the Asante in the way the Governor spoke to you chiefs this morning. Is it true that the bravery of the Asante is no more? I cannot believe it... if you the men of Asante will not go forward, then we will. We the women will. I shall call upon my fellow women. We will fight the white men. We will fight till the last of us falls in the battlefields."

The war that follows bears her name—the Yaa Asantewa War. The final battle began on September 30, 1900 and ended in the bloody defeat and rout of the Asante. Yaa Asantewa was the last to be captured and subsequently exiled to the Seychelles, where she died around 1921.

With the end of these wars, the British gained control of the hinterland of Ghana

Its a good news to the catholic church and Ghana as a whole. But please , i believe cardinal died in 2008 which means his passing away is not yet 15years as this page is saying. Please check and correct it
