#MaxAgenda: History Of The War Between The Ashantis And The Denkyiras With Lawyer Anokye Frimpong #MaxFM #MaxOnline #Asantis #Denkiras #otumfuooseitutu #komfoanokye
We need to get this man to help writers to make movies and documentaries for us to preserve our history . We should be serious as a country in this regard . Great asset to the nation
Bro if you read history books of old, it more than game of thrones, it a pit you wouldn’t want to enter because you will never wish to return. I was reading history books when I should be learning advanced accounting for the exam next day.
This historian has abridged the history of the Denkyira war. Three paramount chiefs sacrificed themselves: Tweneboa Kodua allowed himself to be beheaded, Boahen Anantuo allowed himself to be buried alive, Diko Pim led the battle but never fired a gun; rather allowed himself to be shot and killed.
ASANTE NKAI"Asante never took any people it conquered slave,but Asante added the conquered people as Asante and asked its people to see them as brothers and forget how they were conquered. That's how come the ASANTE NKAI
In asante oration we slang, thats why osei tutu can be pronounced n33seitu, nana osei can be called n33sei, john mahama mostly is said as john mama, nana akua (n33kua)
The heros -the chiefs who sacrificed their lives to help Ashantis to defeat Denkyiras should include Asenso kufu(Dwaben-dwumakaasehene)Nana Dikopem of Ejusohene,Nana Nantuo Boahen of Ashanti manpon and Nana Barima Boa kodwoa of Kwumawu and Amankwa whose body was put in the dug up in Fayiese please.
I think Lawyer is Akuapem man but He knows much history which I admire most from Gtv to max tv he made a great mark to me He deserves a massive attention... #ReallyAlegend
Obiri Yeboah was Kwaman hene not Asantehene Asante came after his death Dormaa never fought Asante,but Kwaman,won the first and lost the second So Dormaa wounded Obiri Yeboah and he died later. And Osei Tutu became Kwaman hene and killed Dormaa Kusi then chased them away and then formed Asante with other chiefs
Nana Obiri Yeboah never sat on the GOLDEN STOOL. Hence, he is not counted as an Ashanti King. Ashanti Kings began with the coming of the golden stool. Nana Osei Tutu is the first Ashanti King.
Ntor). If Kwamang was the name of present day Kumasi, then how did Dormaa conquer Asante? Obiri Bohen didn't create Asante. Dormaa couldn't have defeated federated States. How big was Dormaa?
It hurts i'm just watching this but i think Lawyer didnt do justice to the adage' Asante didi nso asante nkae....'... that is not the full adage, it is actually 'Asante didi wo ho nso Asante nkae wo nkyi' to wit 'Ashanti's benefit from you but will not trace your history or where you from (whoever you are , ashanti's want to know how you can help them, they dont care where you from)... as lawyer rightly said, Okomfo Anokye gave a stern warning to the Ashantis not to trace the ancestry of any captives including their own ancestry...
Great stuff. The Akwamu warriors (300 of them) that accompanied Osei Tutu were given to the Asafohene, the chief warlord of Kwaman at the time ( latter Kumasi), hence his name Akwamuhene. Anum Asamoah and his people became the police force (Abrafo) and were settled around the king to provide protection, and therefore the vicinity of Palace became known as Anum and later got corrupted to Adum.
Am talking of the festival It was akwamus but not akuapem because I haven't heard akuapem celebrate akwasidae but Awukudae for akuapem but akwamus celebrate akwasidae
For the Asante nkae statement ,the explanation my matrilineal grandpa from barekese nkatia gave me was that. He stated that asantes are made up of different tribes of which some were servants but in history we don't teach someone's root or background, No one suppose to tell his fellow brother of not being pure Asante and so forth. Therefore we got that proverb saying Asante nkae Odeefuo.but is not Asante nkae.
I wish to congratulate Lawyer for telling the history of Denkyira and Asante But I have a different version about the source of name of ASANTE because the tribal group of people called ASANTE were there before the old GHANA empire was founded ,as well as other tribes of AKIMS. AJWAMUS, FANTES. AMENFIS, BONO ETC. Athese tribal people were there in Akans Dia Kingdom long before ALL THE EIGHT AKAN CLANS were created by King Dia of Dia Kingdom which was located in the area where the country MALI is located I am prepared to be invited by MAX TV to throw other lights on the Akans. Thank you. ( Nana Ankomah Yeboah- A Freelance Akan Historian )

He always misses that point and I don't know why bcs he is so good, knowledgeable and humble. All other historians agree Asante started from Osei Tutu though the attempt or call to unite started with Obiri Yeboah
The chiefs who sacrificed their lives for Assnte-Denkyira war were Tweneboah Kodua from Kumawu, Asenso Kofo from Adwumakase-Kese and Dokopim from Ejisu. Tweneboa Kodua was not beheaded. He was to go to the war without firing a shot. Asenso-Kofo was buried and concoction was prepared for the warriors to bath before the war and Dokopim was killed and his body was scattered by the vultures and the existent where the body reached was where the kingdom is.
I need Lawyer Frimpong number. I come from Asante Asamang near Agona where Anokye was chief and there is another great man apart from Okomfo Anokye.... I need to share with the Lawyer
lawyer is doing a good job but he should set the record straight that komfo anokye is not from awuku gua. he is from sekyere agona. becuase his parent noticed the wonders he was doing in his early stages that is why he was sent to awuku gua for the chief fetish priests there to train him because that was the place they used to train fetish priest.
Yes they stole it during the way, nkransa king was among those who helped Ashanti to steel the golden stool according to my great great grandma, come to think how did someone command a stool from heaven, it was among one of the reason they buried anokye alive
Point of correction, Okomfo Anokye was never from Akwapem. He was an Ewe. There’s no doubt that you’re a great historian but this part of the history cannot be extorted, please
He got golden stool story wrong, golden was stole from Techiman bono they threw it from outside of the and okomfo catch it and give it Osei Tutu it was all plan.
There are alot of things that he said that are factually incorrect; 1. They claim Osei tutu was a nephew to Obiri Yeboah, Obiri Yeboah was an Aduana man just like his predecessors(Twum ne Antwi, Dwamina Akenten) so how can a sister of Obiri Yeboah (Aduana clan man, making the woman, osei tutu's mother also an Aduana clan woman) give birth to an Oyoko clan newphew to obiri Yeboah since they are saying they brought matrilineal inheritance meaning the child should be part or come from his uncle's clan a Aduana and not oyoko, so where from this oyoko nephew to an Aduana uncle? The fact is that osei tutu was from a group who later became the kokofu people. When you go there you can find where exactly osei tutu's mother birthed him near a river, which has now been made into a shrine. Osei tutu was made the kwaamanhene and to amalgamate all the minute, scattered and unformed states/tribes in the enclave as well as pulling most Denkyira defectors(Atwima-- All Atwima people in the Ashanti region are Denkyiras, nkawie, Asuowon, Pakyi etc etc etc) by the tricks of okomfo Anokye to create a civil war in Denkyira for their liberation because of their tutelage and friendship in Denkyira. 2.I will keep the rest until I have received answers to the above. Please, we all need to analyse whatever these Asante historians tell the public anytime, you will see their flaws.
They always say the history to favor them, but they learned everything from Denkyira. All the divisions in chieftaincy like Benkum, nifa, adonten and the rest hails from Denkyira and Ghana as a whole learnt from it that’s why we have ministries
I understand why Bantama chieftancy inheritance is Mma mma akonwa... Children of previous chiefs but not nephews. Cos of the Northern paternity history 👌😁
You this man eh, I will do a rebuttal Vidoes soon against the misinformation and the Asante supremacy lies you are spreading. If Asante was so much powerful as you say all the time, why did it fall?
That's a lie...families have disputes, but as an outsider they'll gang up against u..when an akuapim man sees a fante man, they see themselves as brothers more than they see someone with a different language...
Now the question comes again about how Komfo Anokye and mother (probably parents) came to Denkyira. We've been told in some versions that Komfo Anokye was, and born in Akuapem and some recently claim he's an Ewe.
MaxTV please invite the secretary for Dankyira heritage foundation to your station. You'll marvel at his articulacy on the real Akan cosmogony. His name Nana Boadu Ntiamoah
Bono people say golden stool was taken from them, now Denkyira people are saying Golden Stool was taken them. So which is which. The Golden Stool was conjure from heaven for the Asantes to strengthen our kingdom
@@aniakwaaemmanuel1095 The golden stools were two. The first one was from Denkyira. It was taken from Ntim Gyakari on the Friday that the Feyiase Civil Uprise happened in 1701 - remeber this event led to the creation of Asante. So it was blackened to be the Sikadwa Kofi. The second one was taken from Bono after the attack on Techiman-Bonomanso after 40 years later.
