If being bush is seeking to do things properly and in true honour of one's deceased father and brother then it is your thinking that is not correct, or perhaps like most people passing innapropriate comments, you are ignorant ...

so if the previous wife is dead, what is the families problem of the man marrying another woman?
The family's problem is that, the man marrying another woman was not prophesied by our lunatic prophets or men of God.
Marrying a man who was not well and allegedly not in a position to take decision fully. Th family must seem legal redress
...the wife must acknowledge that he came from a family and belongs to a family. This is recognized in our laws. If even they married under ordinance and the claims of the family is true and justified she will not know peace ...

I'm surprised the family is behaving this way especially the guy from London who is supposed to know better. If they misbehave the wife should take them to court. The kids are grown and should be fighting for themselves.
OK aboa bi ba who is in control here. You fucking idoit the kids are in control.
Strange country. The family poke their noses into everything. Advice to all women who marry a man with children or ex wife - get your own stuff because they will hever accept you.

if he herbert didnt want to be with gifty. why didnt he call it off way before...smh...or was gifty' pussy playing tricks on him?
That's his legal wife.What is the problem of the so called family. You are lucky this is Ghana.Otherwise you will not get a penny of his estates. Nobody forced him to marry her. That was his choice.Stupid people.
Clearly you are ignorant of the facts. Any property in question is family land belonging to Herbert's father and after his demise, all his children, namely Herbert and his 4 surviving siblings. A woman cannot marry a man for ...

A woman who's husband left behind 5 children/daughters from an earlier marriage isn't interested in building a good relationship with those children and you don't see anything wrong that. I can easily tell you belong to the s ...

Africans are still living in the dark ages. The brothers and sisters want to take all the properties from the wife and children. The father,wife, and children worked hard. Wicked African mentality,cultures, and traditions hav ...

They are so stupid. How can you compete with a legal wife, if not in Ghana. He chose to marry, so you so called family should mind your own business.
To some extent, I may agree with you but under what condition did the marriage contracted. Was Herbert fully sound? From the video I thought I heard that Herbert was not well. I think it is very material for any legal argumen ...

What are you commenting on? What did you read? Ignorant
GPS or who ever, I can only side with if you were not brought out from the family home, you might be lucky. Also ask your father whether he was brought out from the family home if not, then you are lucky too. If you were br ...

WHY DIDNT HE MAKE A WILL?
WHEN YOU GO INTO A FOREST, YOU WILL KNOW THAT EVERY TREE IS STANDING ON ITS OWN. PROPER INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED BEFORE GOING INTO MARRIAGE.SO SAD TO SEE THIS HAPPEN TO THE GREAT COACH, COACH DUE, DUE,DUE.
On Monday morning go to the law schools in Ghana and petition them to stop teaching customary law. As you are at it, file a case at the supreme court of Ghana to interpret the customary law provisions in our constitution.
Well said!!! culture/traditions are the hindering factors for ghana's woes.
I CALL FOR FUNERAL ALUTA! UNABATED!!
Oh ghanaweb why can't you edit before you post? Full of grammatical errors
At least you understood what he wrote.A lot of Ghanians bother themselves with this English language.We can't do anything apart from English language.If you speak or write good English come to America and do that.Oyibo pepper
Tommy, don't waste your time on them anymore.I keep asking myself whether Ghanaweb has Editor(s).It wasn't like this previously.
OH, OH! HERE COMES THE GRAMMAR QUEENS!!
FOR BOTH SEXES. I LAUGH GO POO.
Unfortunate........
GPS said it again oo , we are still living in this dark ages ao africans !
You and who
The family has no case in any competent court of jurisdiction
You should have mentioned the reason why. The court you are talking about will not just say you are the wife, finished. The court will look at the facts. Do you seriously think a court will appropriate all property to a spous ...

That's why we don't prosper!!! Let men marry their sisters then there will be peace. Stupid Ghanaian customs that hinder life!

Whether legality or not,there is no wisdom in forcing a sick man to marry you.There is no morality to the act of marrying a sick man.The woman is an opportunist. She reaped what she did not sow.
You are just a fool to say that, can you see you are a family member. Can you see what others are saying. So far as they have married even for a day before he die she is the wife. And coach is not a kid. He is and was wise to ...

The marriage might not have been consummated after all as the man was reportedly sick
Thank you. People are under the impression that a court even in Europe will be that reckless and say you married him for one hour before he died so you should have all his property. NO. What about the relationship with his ch ...

Hmm is hard oooo. These family members all what they are said is a lie.
if you people are fighting because of properties, don't forget that, the owner of the properties is gone. So one day, you will also go
Pls get your facts straight before you accuse anybody of doing anything untoward. He was coerced into marrying her in December and he died in March. He was unwell and called his brothers to inform them and they asked him to w ...

Where was the family when he was sick. Who took him to hospital first. And what prevent a sick person to marry. Because the family was not caring for him. He need someone to take good care for him.
Did u read the story very well. Not even in the western world can this happened. So are you saying that the woman who has no children or even if she has one with the man can deny the other children of their father's property ...

I am not surprised. In Ghana if your husband is affluent his family becomes a problem when you are no longer alive.What has she done to deserve this nasty behaviour of husband's family.
for me, the way the family treated his wife. shows that u they might have spiritually killed him bcos of the property. hmmm poor widow
..AND VICE VERSA. THEY KILL FOR MONEY. THEY ILL BCOS THERE IS MONEY TO BE MADE FROM FUNERAL, OR INSURANCE ETC....
This is very disgraceful. Even common thing like a funeral we cannot organize? Why do we behave like this, bringing hooliganism to funeral celebrations? Since I was born I have never witnessed this sort of backwardness at a f ...

This is actually shameful incident to happen to the end of a men like this great coach of our motherland, and it should be a great lesson to men in our Ghanaian society with regard to marrital affairs .
The relevance to this issue..
What a loutish family? Did he need their permission to marry?
Just half of Woyome's money could established a first class hospital whereby there would be no need to apply for a visa to get treatment abroad.
WERE YOU DESPERATE
WHY DID SUCH A FIRST CLASS DENTIST MARRY A MUSICIAN
SOONER OR LATER YOU WILL BE LONELY BECAUSE HE WILL NOT BE HOME WHEN YOU NEED HIM
FAKE MARRIAGE

Abusua dor funu.
Autopsy please. I smell a female sociopath!
Herbee was bunking the woman till his death so what is the beef of the family. A court ruling will determine which property goes to the widow. They should go protest at court decision. Go find some job.
The wife should know that the man comes from a family. You cannot marry somebody who already has grown up children just in three months and claim you have control over his everything,
Ghanaians and their typical stupidity!!!
Gifty's pussy was too sweet for poor old Heebert Addo to let go of. So sweet that poor old Addo had be dragged to perform the "so-called" marriage.
