What at all is this tribal imperialism nonsense that is being relentlessly shoved up our asses! Are we running two parallel governments of a Constitutional democracy and chieftaincy?

So sad and very disappointed in human sacrifice of Ghana traditional culture which we still uphold in a civilized world today. When can't we condemn such diabolical rituals thar serve as sources of power for the chieftains institutions today? Why should Christians become chiefs sitting on such thrones, while communicating with deities and at the same time clawing they Christians? Is this not a contradiction of faith in only One God with whom there is no other God; He alone must be worshipped? Ghanaians, let learn from the Western world who were more barbaric in heathen religious practices, but once they turn way from deities, they revolutionalized their institutions with the ideals of the Gospel of Salvation and the Kingdom of God. Ghana and Africa must do better!

@Hunter
Please, when Jesus Christ is referred to as the Son of God, it is referring to God( God's Eternal Word, by who he created all things) becoming flesh as the only way to save humanity from Eternal separation( death ) from God. God's ways are not like the ways of men. He is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient. He who made man and gave us the ability to reproduce our likeness, is He not able to appear in our likeness and still be God?
The scripture says, in Jesus Christ ,God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit dwelled together in a human body.
"For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." Colossians 2:9.
"All the fulness " !, the scripture says
God appeared in human flesh, subjected Himself to all the states of man, but did not commit sin and died to attorn for the sins of man so we can be reunited with Himself. "For God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself ".

When Chinese have flown thousands of miles into our forests and river bodies and are polluting it with chemicals we don't need any "by the fire side stories" Our survival as a people is been threatened, we need the powerful in society to gang up and fight for the restoration of our God given dignity.

Humbly this is not the time for story telling. Our forebears fought the white man for stealing our Land and their culture imposition on them.

This is the time our so called powerful Kings and Chiefs must be up in arms and rally their subjects into war against galamsay.
It seems galamsay has defeated all the boastful Powerful Kings and Chiefs in Ghana. We only display our warrior prowess only when dancing at festivals.

Just three Chinese are able to destroy river meant for over 100000 people in days, whilst a powerful warrior King sit unconcerned. And the next day same Chief is been carried by hungry men in a palanquin and right on top of their heads he is dancing and showing off.

It's a shame.

This statement is outrageous and irresponsible, and it's shocking that it can be made in Ghana without consequence. If this individual were a chief in a more civilized country, he would likely face serious investigation. I advise people to exercise caution when visiting Kumasi during festivals, as this kind of rhetoric can lead to further human rights abuses and secret rituals.

I urge the Ghanaian media to condemn this statement and refuse to give it any attention. The chief's words will only serve to perpetuate aggression and abuse towards women and girls in Ghana. It's disturbing that some feminists seem to be silent on this issue, despite the harm that this kind of language can cause.

I think it would be a positive step if someone were to petition the British monarch to withdraw any honors or courtesies that have been extended to this chief. This could help to bring attention to the issue and promote dignity for women everywhere.

Look at the primitives once again. Always if you see Asantes they are primitive and never produced enlightened men like Kofi Annan and the man who was a NASA Engineer responsible for sending the world's first Robot Mission to Mars. They haven't been responsible for any enlightenment contribution to the World because look at their history and you get your answers. They told people that there's something called Kum Apem, Apem beba. But Obroni massacred them three different times and even sent their Otumfuor to exile, but still the Kum Apem couldn't come. The people are still primitive today and backward that's they are the only tribe in Africa, Obroni is still disgracing everyday today today by parading their most respected crown, the Ashantes Royal Throne in an English museum but the people are so dumb and primitive they can't even beg Obroni to stop the disgrace. Imagine Germans still parading the English Royal Throne today today in a museum, it's a big disgrace and they will even bomb the museum. But look at the Asantes in that photo, look at how ugly they look. They look like this because of their food, the rat shit soup. Every Ashante you see look like this so the British despised them and killed them a lot, and caused so much suffering in Kumasi. May their souls rest in peace

Otumfuo Nana Osei Tutu dis-stoolled a queen mother for not abiding by her oath of office.
However I am of the view that my brother cannot be a Christian because the Golden Stool is his God.
Secondly he cannot be a Knight of the British Empire an empire many Asantis lost their lives whiles fighting against being colonized by it.

@Kwame,great point onua, but the Ashantes did fight against colonialism, they were fighting to sell more slaves which were mainly other Akans , which the British had outlawed but the Ashantes continued to trade in it and wanted to assert their independence to sell more slaves . So please onua, don't make it like they were doing a honorable thing . Real fight against colonialism was done outside Kumasi, but why didn't the British killed and punish these people like they did to Ashantes? Selling fellow members of your own ethnic group to slave traders for profits is very bad

This is criminal. It is a further endorsement of human sacrifice which should not come from the lips of someone like Otumfour in public. It's a dehumanization of the human woman. The poor woman, what did she do to deserve the murder? And worst of all, she was murdered by someone who claimed to love her, her husband. For what? Power! Otumfour by citing the murder of this defenseless woman is dehumanizing the human woman. This is an unfortunate reference to make. His predecessor murdered the poor defenseless woman, I guess he would not mind to do same to his wife or other women if he's told to do so. This is criminal.
