A video capturing a ceremonial moment between Dormaahemaa, the queen mother of Dormaa, and Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye, the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has gone viral on social media, sparking widespread discussions.
In the video, Dormaahene, Dormaahemaa, and other dignitaries were seated at an event when Abronye approached to pay his respects. As tradition demands, he knelt before Dormaahene, greeting him with deference. However, when he moved to greet Dormaahemaa, instead of kneeling, he only bowed, seemingly expecting the queen mother to reciprocate the greeting.
Dormaahemaa, in a calm yet authoritative manner, gestured with her hand, instructing Abronye to kneel as per custom. Without hesitation, Abronye complied, kneeling down before Dormaahemaa and properly greeting her, an act that has generated much interest online.
Social media users have been quick to comment on the video, with many praising Dormaahemaa for upholding tradition and Abronye for his respectful response. The incident has sparked conversations around traditional customs and respect for authority in Ghanaian culture, particularly regarding the role of women in leadership.
The video continues to gain traction, with some netizens humorously engaging with the ceremonial moment while others reflect on its cultural significance.
