Ashanti Tradition on Display at Chief's Funeral

Manso Nkwantanhema's Presence at Daasebre Osei Bonsu II's Funeral Highlights Ashanti Tradition The recent funeral of Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, the late chief of Asante Mampong, drew notable figures from across Ghana. Among the attendees was Manso Nkwantanhema, whose arrival was captured in a short TikTok video. The video, while brief, offers a glimpse into the cultural richness of the Ashanti region. The conversations overheard in the video touch upon the unique political structure of Ashanti, where a king holds significant power instead of a president. One mourner is heard saying, "We don't have a president, but we have a king." This highlights the enduring significance of traditional leadership within the Ashanti community. The video, though short, successfully captures a moment of cultural significance and respect paid to the deceased chief. The event underscores the importance of traditional customs and leadership in modern Ghana.
