BAD traditions of the Akan Asante Ashanti of Ghana can not be ignored | Enslavement of Israelites 

I encourage people to read the story of Aaron Kuku, an Eʋɛ man who was captured by the Asante and escaped during the Asante war. Another issue want to point out is that the Akan's need to correct the mixing of the spiritual with the profane. For example the story of Tano (Ta Kora - this variation is also Hebrew) and his brother Bia (also Hebrew). This is a story of 2 sons of Nyame in which the younger son Ta Kora enticed his older twin brother Bia with food to steal his birthright. Wait, isn't that Yakobe and Esau? How did we go from a Biblical story to a story of gods? Another thing is the soul names (kradin) where a child would be named after the spirit of the day he/she was born and would be blessed with the spiritual gift of that spirit. For example a Benada (Tuesday) born boy can be named Kwabena of Kobe (a variation of Yakobe). The gift of Bena is Wisdom according to the Akan Elders. This word bena in Akan is בִּינָה (bena in Hebrew) which means wisdom. So I believe that all Akan people need to get back to their roots and depart from Egyptian and Babylonian tradition.

What you said about Asante expansion is not true

Hi Sis, thanks for viewing and commenting. I will have to disagree. MOST Asantes who are the largest members of the Akans are not Israelites. There may have been some of them mixed in. However, in Ghana, the main tribes that are Israelites are Ewe, Guin, and perhaps the GA tribe. In Ghana, the ANE tribe is often considered to be Akan or more specifically fante -ANE. However, the Fante as a whole are not Israelites. The ANE tribe which fled from Elmina into what is now called Aneho, Togo fled from Elmina where they lived among the Fantes. They are believed to have been Israelites as well. They fled to Togo due to attacks by the Akan. They were later shipped out of Aneho and Benin during the trans-atlantic slave trade. There is much more that can be said and shown from history but, I will stop here. Visiting Togo and spending time studying Ewe/Ivr history will show that many Israelites are in Togo, Volta Ghana, Benin, and Western Nigeria. The strong concordance will even show that the original word for for HEBREW is Ewe/iVri is pronounced with a V instead of a W or b sound. Most of our brothers who are traveling to Africa and many in the US know this. However, I think that they are AFRAID to go to Benin and cry aloud and spare not. Many people in Benin are members of the tribe of Benjamin and Ouida/Juda is located right next to it on the first maps of Africa. To the left of them is the kingdom of Akanis (Akan). The Akanis raided the kingdom of Ouidah/Judah/Benin and traded Israelites to the West. So Yes, it was bound to happen due to our forefathers sins. However, we can not ignore the actions of the sellers (Akans, Northern Ghana tribes, some Nigerian tribes, African - Arab slave trade participants etc.) and only focus on the actions of the transporters (Ashkenazi's) and buyers (Western Nations) of Israel. ✌🏾💖🙏🏾

Hi Sandra! Tell me, when did the first umbrellas appear on the "African Continent"? To this very day, I am almost sure that there are no umbrella factories anywhere on the continent of Africa. So where did the first Umbrellas come from on this continent? Who brought it Africans? and Why? Please do a little research, answer those questions, and we will both know the REAL history of the Ashanti and other African nations umbrellas. Shalom.

Before calling someone a liar, try to educate yourself with true facts and stop trying to whitewash your history. I could attempt to educate you but I see by your words that you do not have a heart for truth.

@Yenko Africa attempt to educate me on my own culture nd tribe? The ignorance. What the hell do u know about ashanties? Do u even understand the language nd u think u know more than I do? Where u do u even trace ur bloodline to? Where ashanties responsible in selling ur ancestor? U also know that captured ashanties where also sold by other tribes right?

Your words display your ignorance, (lack of understanding and knowledge). Merely knowing your own language does not mean that you are WELL educated about your TRUE history. Concerning bloodlines and my tribe, I CAN trace MY TRIBE to the tribe of Judah, Benjamin, and the remnants of Levy. 😊 Your Bible AND Koran can prove it. Not only that, your beloved historians of every ethnicity and various nations have historical documents and relics to prove it. Even the first two maps of Africa prove that MY TRIBE came from NEGROLAND that included the Kingdom of Ouidah/Juda/Judah, the Kingdoms of Benini/Benjamin, and other locations within the of Guinea and Gold Coast. However, history also proves that MY TRIBE, Judah-Benjamin and remnants of Levy, made many stops along their migration from northern Africa. My GRANDMOTHERS name is a name that is found among NORTH Africans and common to MY TRIBE. Just like the Ewe and Guin tribes who are also Israelite. The Ane tribe of Elmina who are now in ANEho, Togo also fled the captivity of the Ashanti who sought to enslave them. Just like my tribe, they were NOT Ashanti. Please face your TRUE history. Ashanti's were a Mighty and more numerous warrior tribe. Although the Tribe of Benjamin were mighty warrior tribes, they were smaller and due to the SINS of MY people against OUR ELOHIM, it had already been determined that we would be captured, sold into slavery, and sent to the FOUR CORNERS of the earth. The prophecy was fulfilled. So listen, I will NOT allow you to turn this into a US against-Ashanti's war. That is your intent but I will NOT allow it. The truth about the Ashanti's involvement in the slave trade is out there for ALL to see, so just admit it and stop disgracing yourself by calling me a liar and denying your true history. Your words ALSO PROVE that YOU KNOW that WE ARE NOT THE SAME PEOPLE. LOL.🙄😂 If you thought that we were the same and that I was a descendant of Ashanti's or what you would consider to be REAL Africans sold into slavery, you would NOT have side-ways attempted to ridicule me about my identity and history. SELAH (Pause, think about it). Let us agree to admit that neither one of us can change our history. We can only TRY to take actions that impact our future in a way that prevents us from repeating the sins and mistakes of the past. The way that we can do this is to acknowledge and accept the truth. Ashanti's or any African, should take notes from MANY of the descendants of Nigerians that were involved in SELLING those we call Nigerians from OTHER tribes (Israelites). They have no problem admitting their involvement. We don't even have to go to Nigeria, one of your own and respected ASHANTI chiefs in Ghana, has admitted and apologized for selling US into slavery ( www.RU-vid.com Jw2f7IRcTrM). I agree with what the Chief/King has said, except on the point that we were brothers and sisters. We may have over the years intermarried with SOME Ashanti's and were therefore living peacefully as brothers and sisters until the OPPORTUNITY was presented to earn trinkets such as umbrellas, liquor and education from those nations that bought and enslaved ISRAELITES. However, we were NOT of the same tribes/nation of people. (Look at the Anglican priest from Elmina that is celebrated today. He became and Anglican priest and the brother traveled to Europe and became a Lawyer, as a NEGOTIATED TRADE for ISRAELITES,) You mentioned the Ashanti war. TRUE, there was an Ashanti-European war. However, that was to prevent the European captivity OF ASHANTI'S and the Ashanti kingdom. That war was NOT over the selling of ISRAELITES from the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and even GAD, those who you call Ewes, Guin and may even include the Ga's. The TRUTH is often hard to accept let alone admit by those who do not love it. However, the TRUE history of the Ashanti's is that they dominated this region militarily in what is presently called Ghana and very FEW Ashanti's were captured or sold into slavery. The truth is that the Ashanti's captured and SOLD ISRAELITES to EUROPEANS and AMERICANS and were FULLY involved in the triangle slave trade. Any Ashanti captured and sold were probably rebelling against the raiding, capturing and selling of neighboring tribes. Ghana has the largest, most modern and most preserved slave ports that they call castles because of Ghana's HEAVY involvement and their cooperation with Europe and America in the selling of ISRAELITES! The same is true of members of northern Ghana tribes who sold other Northern tribes AND ISRAELITES to the ARABS during the ARAB slave trade. The pits that they dug and held them in, are STILL in the north to this day. Try to go and visit them and see for yourself. They are the same kind of pits that JOSEPH was placed into by his brothers to be sold to the Arabs/Ishmaelites (their cousins) or to the Midianites their neighboring tribes. Enough said, I would only suggest that you as an Ashanti, learn to love and accept the truth about your TRUE history. Shalom

Hi Elaine, you're welcome and thank you for finding value in the information shared. 🌼

If you are a descendant of the trans-atlantic slave trade and other captivities of Israelites, you are not a Christian, you would be an Israelite. Israelites were first "called Christians" at Antioch. Christianity is a religion. Israelites are a people, whose God, many gentile nations seek to worship. If you are not an Israelite, you are of a gentile nation that has converted to Christianity, a religion which attempts to emulate the practices and way of life of the Israelites. Gentiles can be saved if they obey. ✌🏽

Hello Wakai. Thank you for viewing and commenting. No problem. We are all learning and sharing what we have learned with others. Hopefully, others like yourself will learn and make the necessary changes. I am a descendant of those scattered to the four corners of the earth via the trans-Atlantic slave trade, BUT due to the sins of our forefathers, it was/is also necessary for us to acknowledge and repent to be released from the judgment invoked upon us by our ancestors' sins against the Most High. I pray that YAH will release and bless persons like yourself who acknowledge, renounce, and make a whole-hearted effort to rectify the sins of their forefathers and release them from the judgment invoked upon them by their forefathers' actions. Thank you again for commenting. YAH bless you! 🙏🏾✌🏾

First of all, let me remind you of what was stated in this video. This presentation is not against Ashanti's. It is about a tradition rooted in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and how it is a sore reminder to those who know the history of Africans and Europeans trading umbrellas, wine and other trinkets for Israelite/enslaved persons. Second, if I present something, I have already researched it. In denying the Ashanti role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade, you deny the words of repentance given by your own Ashanti King; visit the RU-vid channel, Kha-Nu nation, and look for the video, "2018 African leader apologizes for selling us into slavery...we want land in Africa". After watching that video, tell me if the King/Chief is lying? You can do your own research/googling. You will find that not only did African Kings, including the Ashanti's who participated in the slave trade, exchange Israelites/slave trade victims for umbrellas, wine, and trinkets, they requested red/burgundy umbrellas to signify power and being the most influential king. Ashanti's still make Kente Cloth and have factories that do so to this day. If they made the modern umbrella before colonialism, where are the Ashanti umbrella manufacturing companies today? Why are the umbrellas sold in Ghana all imported? It doesn't take much research/google searching to find the true history of the modern-day umbrella. If, before the trans-Atlantic slave trade, the Ashantis were already in possession of the modern-day umbrellas or parasols as depicted in the photos, more than likely, it came from the Arab slave trade. The Arab slave trade also occurred in modern-day Ghana and surrounding regions. You can find historical documents confirming the information that I shared in this video. Many people take the "white man's" word as if it is from God on other issues; why not accept it as such when they present evidence of the Ashanti's and other Africans' participation in the slave trade? One of the great things about some people from the Nigerian tribes that sold Israelites/Trans-Atlantic enslaved people on this issue of African participation in the slavery trade is their willingness to admit their guilt and regret for their willful participation in these terrible acts. Humble yourself and do a little research. We can not prevent the wrongs of the past or correct the errors of today if we do not admit them.

This is very powerful.

Togolanders, Ewes , and those from Benin and Western Nigeria were also sold.

Hi Marcella! Thanks for sharing your experience with addressing traditions that are not good or that spring from something that is not good. You have done your part by shedding light, sadly some will choose to continue in that which is not good or that which springs from darkness. You are also right about the spiritual aspect of many traditions. Thank you for viewing and commenting! YAH bless you!
