GHANAIAN CULTURES AND TRADITIONS (GA)

[@Erica-ls7bp]

Ok, this lady is the living embodiment of what AfricanAmericans are seeking to know about their ancestral past. She's telling the stories we want to know about. Seriously, I want to bring her to America and have her speak at our schools, churches and community gatherings. She would be very much sought after if more AAs saw this video, she's amazing.

Whao!!!. This is so educative. Oheneyere Gifty, thank you for bringing this beautiful, intelligent, articulate Ga woman on your show. She has a good knowledge base of the Ga history and culture. Please let’s celebrate our Ghanaian women.

Being raised in Britain, the only queen mother I ever saw was Queen Elizabeth's mother and she looked really old. This Queen Mother is as "fresh as daisy"! It was great to listen to, thank you.

What an intelligent, beautiful and modern Queen. Our Ga people have a very beautiful history 🌻Though i am an Ashanti but the way u calmly broke down the history for us to understand is so awesome. Thank u ❤️🇬🇭

[@graceboadi8317]

Wow very educative God bless you our beautiful mothers is good to learn our tradition because we the young ones don't know we're lost, thanks Mama for this

[@obwayo]

Miŋshɛɛ sane. I will really like to visit her when I go to Ghana. She didn't finish so I am going to get the rest of the lesson.

[@ceciliaohene748]

Naa Manye narrated the history of the Ga people brilliantly despite the limited time for the show. She didn't make mention of us, the Otublohum people and where we come from.

[@mikeayi9110]

Otublohum people are Akwamu(Akans) origin not Ga's.

[@joycentow4104]

To be honest my sister I really appreciate enjoyed your conversation with the Queen Mother Full knowledge of her subjects very good I haven't learnt alot watching your program Thank you

[@vanessabenson7598]

She is beautiful and intelligent Manye and she said a time will come they will be hungry of knowing much about where we are coming from and Yes is true I have never considered myself as Ga but now am queen of the youth and want to know about where we are from .,thank you so much for the knowledge

@Sylvia Sosoo, a humble suggestion!! How about writing your proverb another way, like below,.... .... "Wuor bi, ni nyieror enyer najii ahe lerh, emior agha shwuor" What do you think about another way of writing... OR? or? Such as Korkor, HORMORWOR Trortror worng, dromor, kojomor, Kormi, Fufor, Anorhor, Jufor, Horr ker Horgbaa

[@harriskhan2126]

I love Ghana and Ghanaian people ❤️🇧🇩❤️🇬🇭

[@nanaaraj]

I was born and raised in London 🇬🇧. My parents are Akan and they never taught me the history of our ethnic group. When I tried to explain to my mother about the origins of the Akans she wouldn’t agree. She thought I was making it up. Also, she didn’t know that Akans don’t only exist in Ghana but they also exist in Ivory Coast. I was trying to tell her how our weddings are similar as we’re from the same ethnic group, she showed no interest. I was surprised, but she probably not taught about it by her parents.

[@mic56edwards3]

A lot of our people do know our history sadly

[@watchmanwatchman2534]

Akans Northners Ewes are the Judah tribe

[@quasi.q6958]

well if your mother is not ASANTE or NZIMA she wont know, because it was these people that migrated to Ivory Coast led by their queen mother called Abena Pokua

[@nanaaraj]

@@quasi.q6958 yeah the fact is my mother is Fante and my father is Ashanti. But I’m a mixture but I consider myself to be an Ashanti woman. Because my mother is Fante, she probably wouldn’t know the history. The Ashantis migrated to Ivory Coast and now call themselves Baoules. This what I researched on. Since my father’s side, is an Ashanti they may know but we never discuss it. One time my grand aunt who’s my mum aunty used to tell me that Ashantis aren’t Akans. They’re just Ashantis. I said they are Akans just like the Fantes. They speak different dialects of Twi. Akan is an ethnic group made up of its tribes. I thought she seems to be ignorant. I don’t think she knows the history. This is an important history and I’m still learning as I go.

[@andromedab902]

@@nanaaraj wow!! Reversal of roles!! Good on you, you've evidently researched & imbibed a lot of factual information & bcm their teacher. Sometimes when parents don't know, they don't admit & learn but tend to fob you off, very typical of our ppl. Bravo!!👌🏾

[@naaattoh6300]

[@highthoughts1]

Here is a very interesting Jamaica view about GaDangme people. Ga people were known as effective and brave - very composed and calculated - warriors if necessary. That is long before slavery. They were not a nation many years ago, but a tribe moving with a nation that worshipped an Egyptian God. Parts of this nation are now the Akan. Their adopted nation referred to them as dogs of no nation because they were actually a loner tribe that left Egypt. In Jamaica there is a fish named 'Gad Ami' and it represented the thousand year humor that caused conflicts with the Ga people when they became angry. Since they were a bastard child they were seen as being left out and this joke is to tease them. Their name as a tribe/nation is Jamaican patoi for 'God it's me'. Even in the Bible the Ga tribe (Gileadites) were teased as 'fugitives of Asra'. The humor is that God left them out (as expected) when he was naming the tribes. When they came to ask God about it, God asked "Who is that?" (Insinuating that they were not his children and he was not aware of them) Their answer was God a mi (God it's me) God had no time for that so he simply said "OK, take that name and go!" Today Jamaicans know these stories but not what they mean. Many Jamaicans don't even know there is the Ga tribe in Ghana. Even Jamaicans with strong Ga blood in them. But then, it does not even matter as most Jamaicans are a mixture of all tribes. There are many people with near pure blood of Ashanti though.

[@nanaakua2873]

Very educative, we have a beautiful culture.

[@andromedab902]

Very intelligent Queen mother who recounts her history with such ease & interest!! For one who has Obutu/Awutu & Ga blood, not excluding my Oyoko lineage, I'm welling up with pride!!💪🏾💪🏾 Chaiiiii you know your history and hopefully you'll also strive for the Ga language to be promoted & bcm part of the sch curriculum. You've an illustrious history to maintain & to pass on to posterity. God bless you, Naa Manye 🙏🏾

We as blacks will and shall rule the world when the time comes💪. Africa unit! One love!!!!!

[@imperfect4440]

Good idea to involve the traditional elders in governance. But it is not a totally fair system because it elevate some people above others in the same community based on bloodlines, not justice. Not everybody has good character to lead or manage communal resources but the rule of law guarantees some order and comportment from actors under a democracy. Hope I convinced you? :D

[@danielennin6029]

I still hold on to that idea that it can be done. Where are our researchers? They can come together and design a traditional political systems that will work for all. If possible involve our traditional beliefs of swearing and ok we go🤔

You did well but a lot have been left out. Gas migrated all the way from Israel, they stay several places before a short stay at benicity Nigeria, during their stay there, unfavorable conditions forced them to move. They were 4 groups of gas,Nungua [workrowor] ,Tema [workple], La[worshagba] Gamashie [wordokun] Gamashie began the journey but Nungua was the first to arrive on the land , ,,,There's a lot but we need to consult the elders for their approval before we can talk about it..
