"...I suggest you totally rely on, trust in, and worship God Almighty, and Him alone..."

Yes that is precisely what most Ghanaians do, and that is why the prophets and pastors have full pockets while the nation goes begging for loans from atheist nations like China.

Even the Jews whose religion we have adopted have respect for customs. How does the king even know who is dead or will die in a certain period to issue an edict to prevent them from burying their dead?

The internet has released people who would normally not be able to speak in "nsadwase".

Leave our customs alone or you have the democratic right to change your tribe.

Banning of funerals at certain periods has been done immemoriam. So it is not this Asantehene who instituted that edict. And All Asantes understand that, so this impostor is not asante.

Besides is Christianity the official religion of Asante? What about the rules of worship of our Muslim brothers? Truth be told it is the so-called pastors and prophets who are desecrating our culture, entrenching corruption and squeezing the poor folk of Ghana to the extent that we "blessed Christians" have to go borrowing from China.

Isn't there too many funerals in Ashanti anyway, so what if the Asantehene by his edict has reduced it small? Fake asnate and quadruped christian like Yaw Boakye.

FOLKS, LISTEN. THE KURASINII YAW BOAKYE'S PRESENTATION TO THE KING IS FULL OF INSULTS. THAT'S WHAT YOU SHOULD LOOK AT. AS FOR THE MESSAGE HE HAS, IT IS HIS OPINION. THE WAY AND MANNER HAS HAS WRITTEN HIS STUPID WRITE-UP SHOWS HE WAS VERY POORLY RAISED AND HAD POOR EDUCATION - NO WELL TRAINED TEACHERS TO HELP HIM OUT OR IT IS HIS OWN NATURAL AKURASI CHARACTER. YOU DON'T WRITE RUBBISH LIKE THAT TO A KING. ABOA BA, AFOMU, KURASINII

Mr. Yaw Boakye I support your bold decision article against the Asantehene. This is bad leadership without no transformation in administration but keeping the old tradition.

Wonderful piece of writing but more hash in some areas.These has been long tradition and power seized for decades. Yes, what time is its sounds well in you piece, as appropriately defines critical modern economic hardships, including advances in Christianity and faith. I recommend in your next writing you give more suggestions as opposed to comments. For example at least a year notice as stated in your piece make more sense. These are indelible situation that are inherited and can never be changed. Yes, such decision making impose hardships and constraints to peoples life.

Why do NKURASIFUOR always call others KURASINI? People who can read and write should refrain from insulting others. We should all try to be civil to each other. Thanks
