Has Sunyani served Asante? Historian analyzes with documents #history #tradition #culture #ghanahistory

[@gideonboateng7052]

I want to listen to this man everyday, so, in-depth in history.

[@ghanafirst8729]

My love for history has really increased because of Mr Agyemang am also Agyemang any way.lam a proud Asante from Atwima kwanwoma but l come to learn.

[@Afodwodegreat]

Mr. Agyemang, the Sunyani Kontihene’s argument does not hold water. In fact, it does not merit your input. Sunyani was an odikro under Awua Domase, and the latter was part of the Kumasi Traditional Council. Remember, Awua Domase was not even a paramountcy but an ɔbrempɔn in the Kontire Division of the Kumasi Traditional Council. So technically, Sunyani was part of the Kumasi Traditional Council through Awua Domase. This is representative democracy. Can we say because not all indigenes in Sunyani go to the Parliament of Ghana so Sunyani is not represented in the House?

[@jeffa8441]

Well done Mr. Agyemang. Please try and bring Lawyer Obiri Boahen for more clarification

[@Afodwodegreat]

Mr. Agyemang, you keep saying that membership of confederation was by choice. That is not true. The fact that there was a vote before the restoration does not mean you have the right to secede anytime. Nana Addo did not win 100% of the votes in an election. Does that mean those who did not vote for him can say they do not recognize Nana Addo as the president of Ghana? My question to you is: what was been restored? The Asante Confederation was not a creation of colonial powers, but rather a restoration of the erstwhile Asante Kingdom. Asante was restored to the pre-1900 status with all its territories intact. After the fall of Asante in the Yaa Asantewaa war of 1900, Asante and all its territory became British subjects. So to say the fall of Asante brought independence to the component/vassal states is NOT true. By conquest, British owed those lands. The Asante Confederation was a transfer of territory from the British to the Asantehene. If you claim the fall of Asante in 1900 indirectly led to the independence of all its component/vassal states, why then did Takyiman lose all the court cases concerning the Tano-Subin towns?

[@agyemangkwadwo5434]

My brother,after Asante's defeat in the Sagrenti war 1874 and Yaa Asantewaa in 1900 all outlying vassals viz:Dagomba Gonja,Akyem, Kwahu,Sefwi,Gyaman, Wassa,Denkkyira,etc asserted their independence. In Metropolitan Asante itself Kokofu Ejisu,Juaben and others signed treaties of protection against the Kumasi government and threw away its yoke.If your argument is valid why is Otumfour not claiming the Dagomba Gonja, Sefwi and others?The Confederacy became voluntary therefore member states can break away.Those who continue allegiance to the Golden Stool do so by choice.Look Atebubu refused to join the Confederacy after voting NO and nobody compelled it to join.when Brong Kyempim came others seceeded and nobody could compell them to join.So,my brother,get it right Colonialism of any kind can be thrown out by the colonised at any time 'T'if they wish.Get it right.

[@thomasasare514]

This man is doing well keep it up for us tell us the truth

[@nberko100]

Sorry Mr Agyeman sunyani has never been on its own, sunyani was the kontihene of Awua Domasehene, so Rawlings govt. had to seek permission from Awua Domasehene who also informed Otumfuo Opoku Ware before Sunyani was elevated to Paramountcy.

[@osafreadu5720]

*Meshye wo ase, menshye wo ase* oo, Asante fought to liberate herself from the harsh rule of Denkyira. She thereafter fought to entrench her SECURITY to include the neighbouring sister states to serve SIKA DWA long before the white man's appearance.

[@BluechipNtim]

Professor Agyemang, thanks. Some of us are ready to learn. I'm watching you from Alexandria Virginia United States.

[@fukuomens2229]

This man will never lack anything in life for telling the truth, God bless you Mr Agyemang

[@samuelanokye1999]

Mr Agyeman, I really like listening to you but I think, you are not being clear on Sunyani serving Sika Dwa. Sunyani was part of the confederacy through odomasi. Only paramount chiefs were presented at the confederacy. At that time, Sunyani was not a paramountcy. President Rawlings made Sunyani paramountcy in the 90s

[@frankadu1445]

Thats the problem that comes as a result of political intereference in chieftancy affairs in Ghana

[@ebenezerdonkor-jk8eh]

​@@frankadu1445 Perfectly right

[@ahenkorakwabena7024]

I think Asantes should learn the meaning of confederation. Confederation doesn't mean their lands belong to Otumfour. Ofinso can wake up one day and decide not to be part of the confederacy again. It is just like Ecowas .

[@Asantedairy]

[@kwakutheghostblogger6246]

From the research that I have Done extensively, The Ashanti confederacy or kingdom was RESTORED in 1935 by the British government, that is, all Ashanti territory and everything was restored. Asantehene at the time, Prempeh II, Choose not to force any chief who doesn't want to come and serve. Please, that was The king at the time's decision, But that does not change the fact that The government restored the entire Ashanti territory. Meaning the Asantehene has been given back the control of all Ashanti territories before its defeat. The British could not control them because of fights and troubles, hence the restoration. The fact that a current King decides not to force anybody (not cutting them off) , does not change the fact that it's still an ashanti territories. Any future king can decide otherwise. ASK YOURSELF WHY : It is the same Asantehene (the same old King's bloodline, and Golden throne) who was made the head permanently, and not any new other king. If it was just an association, do you think he would have that kind of command he has over the Paramount chiefs? The international reference you make do not have those. An ordinary association means that there is no more Asanteman, but a voluntary association. So why does the Constitution recognize the name Asantehene. Sitting arrangement and everything shows Otumfour is the Head of all the Paramounts in the kingdom. You think if it was just an association those educated chiefs wouldn't know they aren't supposed to allow that? They have learned from their predecessors from generations that their head is the Asantehene, and that they are part of it. If they were of equal and just one selected to lead them like it is done in associations, Do you think the Asantehene would have said He couldn't contest the national house of chiefs president with his SUBORDINATES?

[@enochampofo6595]

Great points made. It wasn't a loose association. It had spiritual compulsion to submit to the head.

[@louisayeboah8400]

Only paramount chiefs and abreponfoo swears allegiance to Otumfuo. Sunyani was Odikro hence could not go OTUMFOU direct.

[@user-oo8pu2vc9g]

Mr. Agyeman is here once again. Number one Historian ❤❤❤❤👍✌

[@kofisugar]

If lands are shared without documentation, one can not proof ownership. In law, evidence is KEY...

[@johnnydarren8444]

Mr Agyeman the historian, you're making good submissions. But your analysis only starts from 100 years downwards because the Akan tribes are made up of 8 clans and due to wars migrated into the middle and south part of Ghana. The clans are Bretue, Agona, Asona, Assin, Aduana, Oyoko, Asekyere, Ekona, Adako.so my humble opinion to you is that try to go into their migration settings to their present settlement especially the tribes in the Bono areas. Because every town in the Bono belongs one of these tribes and that's would enable the average Ghanaian to understand the history. Thanks

[@osafreadu5720]

Sunyani was under Asante long before the 1900 episode. The original settler was from KUMASI AMAKOM that included the two ODUMASE. The truth needs be told.

[@nanacharles8428]

Bantama and Bosomtwe Stool were mentioned, what locations do they refer to?

[@kojoosei9542]

Have you forgotten that Sunyanihene was a Krontihene of Awua Domase ? Before Sunyani became paramount they went to beg Omanhene of Awua Domase Rawlings was the mediator There is a video to prove Thank you

[@dukes292]

the only problem is that the Asantehene doesn't see the confederation from 1935 which was not by force but sees the confederation from 1717 which is the asante empire. the moment you interfere with the installation and distoolment of another paramouncy because they are members of the Asanteman council then you're bringing the old system of Ashanti empire which no one will aggree easily.

[@kwamegeorge9086]

So before the confederation all Bono towns were on their own but some were not defeated in wars with the Ashanti’s

[@enoyaa3829]

Oldboga TV you always want separation not unity for Asante and Bono be divide if you want unity tell Dormaahene to stop grouping some boys telling them Otumfour has no land etc. He calling for war we want peace in Ghana. Bono and Asante are the same tribe

[@patosepo9344]

It is a matter of responsibility for the Asante people to defend the senseless attack of Dormaahene and his paid gangs to insult the Asante kegacy and culture. Nobody stops Dormahene to promote his culture, if he has any. The Asantehene by his wisdom, love for justice, as we see in his chieftaincy rulings avery day and his charming human relationship has promote the image of of the Asante and Ghana beyond Africa to the world People like Dormahene shall be remembered in history for their roles like Ntin Gyakaris and Hitlers for being adamant, wicked and distructivel. I expect the leaders and the good people of Ghana to condemn the disgraceful and unprofessional utterances and actions of Dormaahene and his KevinTailors. History will judge them accordingly, nonetheless, we cannor sit down unconcerned to become mere spectators.. When good people remain silent senseless people suppress wisdom to make stupidity the rule of life. It is time now for Nwonkro groups to make songs for Dormahene to reflect his character. We cannot allow any evil deed to destroy the heritage of the toil of our fore fsthers by people who do not stand for peace and unity but insults, hadred and division.

[@davidnanaoseiasibey1291]

If Sunyani was part of Ashanti or not, their Origin is from Ashanti Amakom -Kumasi, so stop beating about the bush.

The document you read failed to prove that Sunyani served Odumase. It was only a native court the colonial government established in Odumase while his office was in Sunyani

Hi Mr Agyemang in this issue I think you got it wrong to getting involved into this but what I think you should do is to go straight to the history whether sunyani has been served sikadwa before and has been the area been western Ashanti before by the fact you have then lived the rest for us to judge many thanks

[@ahenkorakwabena7024]

This is what I have been saying all the time that the fact that some paramount chiefs swore allegiance to Asantehene doesn't mean their lands belonged to him. They are all independent territorially and I have lot of land documents to prove it. Asantehene's lands are limited to just Kumasi Paramountcy. He is the chief with the smallest land compared to other Paramountcies in Southern Ghana, just over 5000 square kilometers

It was Nkrumah's smooth administrative purpose. But hypocritically, the Bono Chiefs used Asante's interference to got separated. They acussed Asantehene of bullying them. Example, the asantehene will place his feet on the new Chiefs swearing before him. Now a week a go, the Sumahene did what our Bono Chiefs considered wrong in the past, as a good norm by placing his feet on atuuna dikro's head 😂. Sumahene take the swearing on behalf of the Bonohene Adinkrah Agyemang of Cote d'Ivoire. Hmm! Some of our Bono Chiefs are causing wahala 😢😢😢😢

Be realistic and stop being hypocritical, where from the interjection you are talking about?

[@kofisugar]

Those that pledges allegiance goes through rituals, esp, to Asante kingdom- all pledges resources (people & land ) and not just words. One is free to leave, until all rituals are performed. When one pledges to join a group or association, they are bind by the laws and regulations:- hence: the people ( the land is represented by the people).

Dr Agyeman by reading from the archive it stated that the chief of Awua Dumase came to Bantima to be enstool. Can you explain how someone from Odumase become chief in Bantima.
