The problem with the Ghanaian scholars is that we stablish or explain concepts or issues by comparing with what is being practice in other areas they are familiar with witout highlighting the underlying principles. Lawyer Frimpon is someone I respect and I would be grateful if Lawyer Frimpon could send his contact to me so that I can enlighten him to enable him come back and correct himself. Did the English Mornarch become Kingdom when it introduced the legislative are of government or British Parliament? I have an unpublished book on the hierarchical structure and power within the the Akans and the Twiis. I can conclude that Dormaahene does not own land in Ghana and therefore is not entitled to receipt of royalty. His land should not be considered as stool land but rather state land

[@otutu2000]

I agree.

You're not even making any sense and I just wonder what kind book you've written. You didn't hear what you would have loved to hear that's why you're trying to attack him otherwise, his submission was great.

[@benbondzie6412]

His submission is fairly unbiased and Ben though he His an Asante and from the Royal family of Oyoko. It’s true the are certain areas that he’s not properly enlightened at which I see is with every historian because the true history is only passed down through the chieftancy line and would never be known by outsiders. So let’s appreciate what we get because that’s the best you’ll ever have. And you don’t history more than any chief in Ghana so relax waiiii…. What u know May be grossly diluted 😂😂😂😂

28:47 I now know where the madness of Dormaahene came from. That him (Dormaahene) saying there is no King in Ghana. Birds of the same feathers flock together. No wonder he is a friend to Dormaahene. He is wrong on so many issues. Dormaa didn't win any war when Ashanti was formed. They fought with Kwamanghene( Nana Obiri Yeboah). The Ashanti empire was formed after the war with Dormaa. Before the war with Dormaa, there wasn't any group called Ashanti. Dormaa never killed any Asantehene. Nana Obiri Yeboah(Kwamanghene succumbed to injuries sustained in the battle. The Ashanti empires started with Nana Osei Tutu and Nana Komfo Anokye When asked the question if Nana Otumfo Asantehene is bigger than Dormaahene, he couldn't answer.

[@ugochukwumartins5167]

This Obiri yeboah will be very dissapointed in his grave, that because of supremacy, his own people are making his sacrifice a useless one. if he was a chief for the people who became the asantes and the same stool which Osei tutu is occupying now, what difference does it make to call him an asante chief

[@benbondzie6412]

Even you don’t think you are mad… little boy relax waaiiii na when Kings are fighting their battles don’t interfere blindly because at the end you’ll be and unnecessary casualty. You don’t know any history more than Dormaahene and Asantehene so shut up and learn

[@kwabenayeboah5411]

To be an asantehene, u must be an occupant of the golden stool. obiri yeboah preceded the golden stool and so how can he be an asantehene?

[@revealedtvgh]

​@@ugochukwumartins5167please u need to b humble to learn. Why is the Greek empire attributed to Alexander the Great or the Roman empire attributed to Julius Caesar? Does it mean there weren't leaders before them? Please "Asante" simply means "because of war" and it symbolizes the unity of twi speaking settlements within those areas who were living in smaller groups but decided to come together to fight a common enemy called Denkyira at the time. Before this confederacy was formed, there wasn't anything like Asantes but there was Kwaman, Juaben, Ejisu among other smaller groups. Dormaa pple who lived at Suntreso those days overcame Kwaman wen Obiri Yeboah was chief and in revenge, Osei Tutu who succeeded Obiri Yeboah his uncle came to overcome the Dormaa pple as chief of Kwaman. The confederacy whc became known as Asanteman was formed after Osei Tutu had conquered Dormaa as chief of Kwaman so technically there wasn't anything like Asante before then so it'll be wrong for anybody to suggest dat Dormaa defeated n killed an Asante king or chief.

[@benababiodanso2885]

How come Nana Agyemang Badu swore his oath of allegiance to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Sir Osei Agyemang Prempeh ii, if they were independent?

[@benbondzie6412]

He said and I repeat…. After Prempeh the 1st was brought back, the Asantes appealed to have all their conquered states return to the Ashanti Confederation so the British asked all those states including dormaaa to sign and return but some of them refused. Among those were dormaa, kumawu but then they had to be persuaded further and finally dormaaa agreed to join but when Kwame Nkrumah came and he separated the region, then dormaaa once again declared his independence.

Not the opposite but the feminine

[@akwasianin9637]

In Anglo-Saxon world, the Monarch or Regent can be male (King Henry 8th). If there is no male heir then female child inherits the Crown. Also the wife of a King is Queen (consort). The nephew is not heir for Anglo-Saxons. Human sacrifice was a biig no-no for Anglo-Saxon, though our Asa-nti Asa-nti forebears needed this for seemed regular for important occasions. So Anglo-Saxon world and language should Not confuse us. We don't inherit Crowns, don't behead the Queen for not bearing a male heir (Henry 8th). Basic point. Relax. King, Queens, The Crown, heirs, dukes, and dutchess etc doesn't apply. Things fall apart.😢 Clearly, It was and remains a different world. We all live in the Gold Coast Ghana (2024) not Ancient Ghana.

Who can narrate the Ga history better than the Ga's? Yes I have listened to his narrative though he did his best to enlighten some people in a best way that he could, he didn't quite get it accurately enough. I will say fairly accurate. The Ga people totally beat the Ashanti people at the Katamanso war single handedly. The evidence is still there. Also the Ga people have always believed in one God whom they call Ataa Naa Nyomor. It was later that some few Ga people began to mimic the Ashanti's by bringing in the Otigali worship. But even that didn't take root. As a young girl when I was growing up a day before homowo my grandmother will ask us all to go to bed early and before going to bed all the doors posts will be maked with red clay as iconic representation to symbolise the Passover as stipulated in the Bible. I witnessed my grandmother and the rest of our relatives using hyssop for purification ritual the same way as in the Bible. History is better told by the people themselves. It is better coming from the horses own mouth. Having said that he has done his best to enlighten some people . Thanks

[@Lyricalpgh]

You made very good submissions, but I disagree with your conclusion to some of the facts you mentioned and explained, saying the Ga story should be told by them. Yet you are telling a story about a war against the British and the Fanta against the Ashanti’s to liberate black people and to unite them under one kingdom and authority in order to be more powerful and to give better living to its people, which your chiefs supported that white man rather take over. I don’t agree that the GA’s then were powerful compared to the Ashanti's, who had many allies like the Northern, Akwemu, etc., who are more powerful in singles against the GA's, who have fewer people. You are making up stories against a then-feared empire that had not signed any documents of allegiance to the British, as the GA’s and the rest of the Coastal, including Akyim Forget about the Akatamanso war by thinking it was Ga against Ashanti’s It was after Ashanti defeated Dormaa at the Germain War that the fanatical news papers led by the British started spilling propaganda saying the Dormaa rather won, which the Ashanti military went in for them, not knowing it was a military plan. Led by the British, who had succeeded in bringing troops from India, 🇮🇳 Burkina, Jamaica, Nigeria, etctc who we’re all under British superiority against the Ashanti of which Ga,s werpart,rt excluding thAnglo,lo who were Ashantalies,es anAkwamu,mu who later helped secure thchildren'sen stool that the Ashanti’carriedry to w,nd claiming it means they’ve lost I ask, if GA’s defeated the Ashanti's, then why didn’t they take their golden stool and either kill their king, but the British were rather the ones that later captured their king and brought him back later, meaning the empire still stands. They became part of Ghana again because you guys from the coast lied again with the corrupt white man and advised that he sign to be part of Ghana so he will be made a king just like the British when they were their own kings in the African belief systems and later want to debate his kinship.

[@osei695]

Ga’s defeating Asantes in battle doesn’t mean they conquered them. Conquering someone means they now submit to you. Asantes defeated Ga’s and all other tribes along the coast in numerous battles and wars. They just never wanted to stay. They preferred the forest zone because it served as an impregnable fortress as they felt the coast would expose them to European attacks. How do you think they easily had access to the coast to trade with the europeans if they didn’t conquer Ga’s, Fantes etc. learn history madam and stop chatting with emotions. I smell envy and hate in your write up. Shame on you!

@benbondzie6412 Even from an academic standpoint, he was wrong. Proper use of words is significant academically, isn't it? As I said, what he should have said is that the Asantehene is not a monarch. A king doesn't have to necessarily be a king of a country to be called a king, so any way you slice it, he is wrong.

[@benbondzie6412]

@@multyz1 u are still wrong unfortunately because a monarch is another word for King/Queen and by dictionary definition is the ruler of an independent state. Former Asante Empire was an independent state because it controlled its own affairs politically, economically, socially and so you could call the Asantehene a king. However after the formation of Ghana no King has an independent state, they’ve all come under Ghana and their head is the President. That is why again the UK nations don’t have Presidents but Prime Ministers because the Monarch of The England is the President of those nations however in Ghana it’s not so, the Asantehene is not the Monarch of Ghana but Asante and they are all governed by the constitution of Ghana. So yes academically it matters how u slice it because words are used to communicate a thought or idea and in this case the Word King is inappropriate to define or describe the Position of Asantehene within the government of Ghana. Don’t get me wrong, Otumfour is a King in His own territory but as long as he is under Ghana, constitutionally he is not a King because it wouldn’t be accurate politically.
