#MaxAgenda: How The Ashantis Expanded Through War By Lawyer Anokye Frimpong On #MaxMorning #MaxTV #MaxOnline #Adanse #Denkyira #asante #Dagomba #northerners
Great Great Great stuff. Abiri Moro's descendants are actually the Enchi people, not the Sefwis as some of the books will make us believe. The Ashanti Army that pursued him got as far as Sankore ( place of return). Abiri Moro's territory was annexed by the Ashanti who called it Ahafo, because it became the hunting ground for the hunters of the Asantehene. Kosankobi rightly means literally someone who reneges on his war duties and it's the source of the word "kwasea".
Lawyer Anokye should please hold classes/ workshops for all the teachers of elementary and secondary schools in Ghana to help teach this history to the young students. The younger kids these days are not adequately knowledgeable about the Ghana History !!!! I give Lawyer Historian Anokye My deepest respect and admiration .May God bless him always
These stories should be in books and endorsed by the state. Also movies and documentaries should be made to adapt them stories. Records shouldn't be distorted any longer.
My Sister is asking about where the Knowledge was coming from, infact black race was knowledgeable and still are knowledgeable but the only problem was that because of lack of technology they could not put ideas paper. The white came to learn from us and went and put it on paper and brought it back to us to learn. In so doing they eliminated those that will make us powerful and brough those that will only enslave and subdue us. Dont forget Nananom in those days also had some of them with paroqual interest.
Ashantis were forced to be part of the Gold Coast which later became Ghana because the British wanted to reduce the Ashanti influence in all the Gold mining areas.
We need more history..... the good, the bad n the ugly.....slave trade wheather we understood it then or not is something we still paying for till today.....it gave the Caucasian race power
Akyem people hv never been good to Ghana and always challeng the Ashantis in many way But thy can never ever beat Ashantis in anyway of life ... thy are never strong and can never be stronger than Ashantis...
A point correction!!! The Nzema Kotoko was assumed by Nzemas after the 1823 fight between Nzemas and Asantes on the Ankobra in the current Ellembelle area. It was in the first year of King Kaku Aka's reign. It was after this encounter that Kaku Aka became complacent and tyrannical. Unfortunately, there is a false story on the Internet that it is rather the Asantes who introduced Nzemas to the gun. That surety, is false because Nzemas had already traded with the Phoenicians in the 13th and 14th centuries, and the Portuguese in the 15th century and had known and used guns long before the Asante state was established in the 17th century.
Anokye, how come Guyana, Suriname, and most Caribbean nations had Akan names and Akan words if the majority were from the north? Waakye and Sobolo can attest to what you said but the language and culture in the Caribbean was mostly Akan, Igbo, and Kongo.
I agree. I would like to know how far he went in law and history. He seems to imply that the Ashantis were taught everything they knew from other tribes. Besides, he glorifies every defeat of the Ashantis. Isn't it a wonder that the Ashantis came to conquer all these higher quality tribes?
He knows nothing He literally has nothing in his head How can you attribute all the Asante's glory to other tribes buh defeat to dem. Always pining the Asante's down anything he gets the chance
This man distorts history a lot. Asante Nkramo is not Asantes who are Muslims. Rather, these were Muslim scholars who were brought in to document Asante history. They would scream and shout to their faithfuls at prayer time. To 'kram' in Twi means to shout, so Nkramofo) is the people who shout. So, Asante Nkramo refers to Muslims who came to Asante.
Ashantes and their deceptive history. They conquer every tribe in the world except themselves. I laugh anytime I listen to their so-called heroic history 😂😂
They were conquered but not when they gained the numbers. From that time they were three times the size of modern day Ghana. When Afia Kobi died they brought certain artefacts taken from Benin after defeating them. And ask yourself why is this small portion of Africa has such numbers after Nigeria in West Africa. I can boldly say Ghana was the place most Africans settled cos African countries were divided by the Europeans.
