1. BE CONSIDERATE OF OTHERS WHO HAVE DEAD RELATIVES IN MORTUARY FOR MONTHS.
Everything is about them, women, children, the aged, the sick don't matter to them.
This is a primitive culture that needs to be removed to the museum to pave way for better management of our lands and its resources.

Nonsense. Backward n useless culture. Let d dead burry d dead. Life goes on. U cnt stop d living frm running deir daily activities. mtcheeew
We mourn with our Ashanti Region mothers and brothers. However modernization has come along. These tribal extractions should not be entertained. We share in your grief but you cannot impose things onto us.
see manhyia see I respect tradition a lot but for this no way with the funeral side sounds nonsense to me
We disagree with this nonsense from Kumasi.
Tribal backwardness died with arrival of independence in the 20th century.

Generally I enjoy the freedom to cut these customs to size on social platform even with the outrageous statement about each tribe. I'm asante. A tradition is what our old relatively primitive an esters use to believe and do b ...

This is why we are still using KVIP's.I was waiting patiently to hear Kwahu because we are of Ashanti extraction.Chieftaincy has been the number one problem in Ghana.
Bretuoba, let me remind you that not all Kwahus are of Ashanti extraction.
Certainly the people of Obo are, but some originate from Akyem and Bono. No wonder the Chief of Obao wanted to secede from Kwahu and join Ashanti s ...

This is total stupid of the century how can you impose your forking tradition on other region. This can not true
When did Berekum come under Asantehene? As Far as I know we are Brongs and have nothing to do with the traditions of the Asante Kingdom. Asantes and Bonos are family but we have different norms

That is why chieftancy should be banned.It is obsolete and works against the progress of the nation.How can you top some economic activities[entertainments] because of the death of a queen mother?
I think bereaved families should start dumping corpses on the grounds of Manhyia Palace if they can't bury their dead. Fools, why should these barbarians be allowed to take the laws into their hands?
Kingdoms have a symbolic meaning, or significance with some specific hidden information, to gaining some understanding of the lives of a particular people living in a particular place.Kingdoms exist to serve diverse political ...

Is this relevant in this computer age?
Has consideration been made on social economic activities that are driven via drumming, music etc or are we only looking at the old tradition that does not bring food unto the table??
Primitive and irrelevant tradition which would affect lives economically!!!!!!!!Lives are operated and depends on music, for selling and operating food joints etc.
What nonsense in a Republic. Who the hell do they think they're? Should we stop living, because your mother dies? Oh oh what gibberish!
THESE PEOPLE STILL HAVE NOT SEEN LIGHT ON MY GOD. GOD BLESS AMERICA
AFRICANS WILL NEVER SEE LIGHT. STILL LIVING IN DARKNESS. ON MY GOD
