Now it's anyone born after a certain date, like manners were no longer taught and it was okay to go to honored places in flip-flops and shorts and casual shirt. On one video, the palace officials stopped an archaeologist outside and made her change from her "well-traveled" sun dress into a gorgeous formal gown and head-dress before allowing her to meet the chieftain. Someone should have schooled this young man about respectful appearances. I was cringing while watching this, and embarrassed for him.

You may be interested to know that within the culture their is recognition that strangers and those from outside may not be aware of local ettiquette and an allowance is made for this. Of course there are a few exceptions. This probably comes from the fact Ghana and its predecessor states were already very diverse places in which for the most part different ethnic groups lived together.

@kenchumah9497 5 жыл бұрын

He should have been briefed by his guide prior to his visit to the chief. When an African is born and raised in the west, they are very ignorant to the norms, traditions that govern the culture and tribes. My advice to Africans, before you visit update yourselves. Making mistakes, being nonchalant and disrespectful could deprive you of your gains, rights, knowledge and inheritance. The Chief is a brilliant man fit to be a King.

Ohene or Omanhene in Akan is king as is paramount chief which was a title bestowed on kings by the colonial governments to undermine kings.

Wonderful video! My family has been in the Southern U.S. for four centuries and we know our history back to Europe. However, my mother and I did a DNA test two years ago and learned that we had West African DNA (a small amount) and were able to isolate it to my mother’s paternal grandmother’s family. It looks like we descend from a “free colored” man who died in 1732 who was mixed European, Native American and African and many of his descendants are mixed race today. My DNA specifically matched with people from the area of Cameroon and the Congo. It’s a shame that we can’t go further in exploring our African ancestry but, with time, they may be able to further isolate the DNA and find out more.

Steve Riggan Thanks for sharing your personal story but you should realize that no human races exist in nature. Race is simply a socio political term used to stratify human beings for social, political and economic gain. Race is not a scientific, biological or genetic term. Race has nothing to do with DNA as all human beings have the same alleles and due to environmental pressures give rise to different frequency of genes which give rise to the various population groups throughout the world.

Diana Boakye Not at all he was not harsh . In our tradition elders can rebuke you in anyway necessary and you will have to take it in good faith. That’s how we learnt , grew up & became disciplined. You realize he called him “his son” at the end of the video, no hard feelings 😊😊😊

Ignorance is never an excuse in any given situation. He is a grown man and he should have done his homework prior to visiting a traditional ruler. I’m assuming that he is an educated man and he can read oral history or consult with the elders on proper etiquette and presentation.

The concept is to teach the whole world how traditions works in Africa, they could have edited that part but they made it look original.. nothing wrong with it . To me that's the best way to educate

Mate. If you come England no one would stop you mid sentence to correct your mannerisms

@chaz kaz I thought that was utterly unnecessary... I wouldn't call it rude either. They should have allowed him to express himself whichever way he was comfortable with and then correct him at the end of it all! Lack of good mannerisms isn't necessarily wrong nor does it define character. His mission there was to learn the truth of himself... Mistakes aren't necessarily bad...!

Jack Spencer ,there are lots chiefs and a few Kings in Ghana,Anyway the British saw the power and the positive influence of the chiefs,to be able to conquer they strategically destroyed our chieftancy ruling system by reducing their power,these chiefs were more respected,development focused,less corrupt than politicians nowadays the corruption among some chiefs are worse than some politicians.
