Greetings Daniel, it's time that we learn why people from different cultures or tribes have certain practices instead of classifying it has wrong, especially our people because so many lies or wishfully wrong interpretation has been said about specifically Africa , just to make Africans looks like stone age people when in fact white people and others always study every African tradition and learn it, twist it and put it their way in order to used it to their benefit in the Americas. Thank you for teaching us about different traditions. I am impress with how you narrates situations with a non bias outlook. In other words your perspective is very fair and straight forward. Thank you.. your auntie from Costa Rica central america living in Canada.
''broken casket'' why don't they use cheaper casket. If it is a retaliation then when will this practice stop. No respect for the dead at all, what is becoming of Ghana regarding the dead now.
GOD bless you Daniel. I’m a Ghanaian born and raised here and I never seen or hear anything like this before, thank you for opening my eyes more wide with this video.
This is done to the young people especially the street boys and girls who most likely are smokers or died when doing a wrong act like stealing or maybe drinking His friends will come to the burial drunk or high enough to behave as such There are good young people who dies and are being buried quite and neatly The behavior of the person and his kind of friends he moved with will make his casket ⚰️ get to this extent Sometimes the friends of the person are too aggressive that even when the family tries to stop them they might hurt them .
I'm a Ghanaian and I've never heard of how much more seen anything like this. I doubt it is an established practice in any tribe in Ghana. Think it is peculiar to the funerals in question for whatever reason.
Please this is not a cultural practice but it is done especially when the dead is an 'area guy'. the other guys do the 'soroku dance'. This has nothing to do with revenge but it's about the youth doing their own thing to the departed soul. The bereaved family is always against it but it depends on the dead's life style when living. NO FAMILY OR TRIBE IN GHANA SUPPORTS THIS BEHAVIOUR. If you comport yourself it won't happen to you when dead. Thanks.
Am pure Ghanaian and it's normal thing in my community, expecially when the person is young 18–35…. One of my friends died at the age of 24 and we didn't even saw the dead body because of how aggressive the youth is, He was an electrician and he die by car Accident so u can imaging how they will distroy things
Am a Ghanaian and I have never heard of this before…… Ghanaian mainly respect their dead and they take good care of them and the casket …..it's a disrespect to break or be aggressive towards the dead or a his casket
Why buy a casket when it would be eventually damaged/destroyed??? Completely insane, disrespectful & disgusting! There is no reasonable excuse for such absurd actions! I just feel it's a deliberate intention of taking undue advantage of a harmless deceased person…it should be prohibited!
Am a Ghanaian one reason that I knew about the damage casket is is because thieves do dig out the casket and dump the decease somewhere just to sell the casket for money especially the expensive casket that's why some deliberately break it. My little idea 😊😊
this practice is not the tradition of any tribe in Ghana and there is no reason behind it, it is just the youth overdoing things. you see this at the funerals of those who lived their lives just like those carrying out this act and we Ghanaians use black, red or black and white for our funerals. p
these are the Unick ways Africa has, Now I can say it's a Cultural way of expressing themselves. I'm from Freetown just two blocks from Ghana on the west side of Africa, it's not only Ghana I think DRC {Congo} too has this way and the Caribbeans Countries / Islands. 😎
My brother its not any culture neither tradition 😡.its foolishly a doing of evil fools.and sometimes to it when you didn't play any good role in life when you were Alive. May be Karma of some sort 😡 It totally foolish act in my country. I have seen more that I can't vedio 😡😡
I am African to. But from a Muslim county. And I’m just wondering if they’re doing this because someone might come and steal the casket. Why not breaking the casket before they put the body inside of it? That’s we all say rip whenever someone dies. Because ones someone is dead they need to be let to rip not still go through that much drama till the end😢
When you witness this kind of burial in Ghana it is simply, the person lead a rough life, the decease might be a member of an illegal mining, drug or gangsters.

In Zambia we usually break the casket respectfully not in that manner so that it's not stolen .
Is this not madness,let them not bury him ,and leave him there because he was a bad person,world is becoming crazy
It better oh Daniel, if the person did not die, he or she will easy crawl out of the coffin.
