Reactions
Many people have expressed thier views that Ghana love funeral too much. They quizzed why Ghanaians are weeping more than the bereaved.
“Ghana has done her own version of the Queens funeral today. Clap for us.” A user wrote.
Another user wrote;
Diana Asamoah was darn right when she requested Otumfuo to plead with the UK to give us the funeral to perform for them. Commemorative Mass mpo nie, na the actual one. The way we would have turned this whole world upside down.
Others also condemn the memorial service.
“So this was the reason why Yaa Asantewaa and the other kings died for? It still baffles me how some Ghanaians are still talking high of the Queen. In as much as we claim to be independent, if history repeats itself,what happened earlier will happen again in this modern times.” A user lamented.
