YAW ANOKYE FRIMPONG _ ORIGIN OF GHANA FOUND!!!

It is now common knowledge that Ghanaians discovered and came to settle here in west Africa.The mystery has always been, from where we came.
Lawyer / Historian Yaw Anokye Frimpong takes us through the Akan Ghana exodus.

[@amaampomapapabi]

Am even speechless this is what we need in our schools as history not the one Akwasi broni has brought to us. Long live Mr Anokye Ghana needs you ❤❤

[@akyempemheneowususekyere1126]

Lawyer Yaw Frimpong Anokye should be given the National platforms to educate we the youth about our history and way forward

[@smileylady485]

No!!! he has said a lot of untrue things. Read and do your own research so that you can compare. Don't just believe what he has said.

[@davidprempeh8998]

Do read our history books written by professor Adu Boahen and JB Dankwa all he is most are alr3ady written. More over do an expansive research you will come across that when the Akandifuo man (ghana now)first settled from their historical journey they first settled at present day Dormaa Ahenkro which there is a historical symbol of three pieces of burnt logs which is a remain burnt logs that the fore fathers wisely left it as landmark to prove that they are all one clan and this place is thier first most settlement before they spread across the vast land.thats the true story o wonder why he shifted the facts to Takyiman

​@@smileylady485 either tell us the facts he's distorting, recommend books and other resources that has those facts, or keep mum. You don't just throw this in the air and leave it at that.

[@amoahfrank5162]

@@smileylady485 You're the kind of people who have difficulty in hearing and in understanding. For you whatever youbhear is an equation to something instead of relation to something... When someone gives a mild but succinct historical account with few insignificant inaccuracies (as he is not readying from a 10000 pages book as you would want him do) you don't just attack the person antagonistically, but with all patience, write some of the things you believe were different from what he said. That way people on this platform may also pass comments to either explain or help you with likely sources lawyer Anokye may have used. I think when we keep an open mind, when someone loosely gives concise historical account in twi in an entertaining style to draw our attention, it should rather encourage us to learn more. Besides, Lawyer Anokye as open as he is, is not afraid of correction if you come with a more credible source of records than what he already have. Lawyer is not like one of those tribalism historians we have known of the past who ignored all written and factual oral accounts to write their own history just to glorify their tribes - thank God those backfired.

[@amoahfrank5162]

@@davidprempeh8998 your statement presupposes that records of aduboahene and Danquah are the only akan history records. On the contrary, Aduboahene had to revise some of his writings due to thebbacklash he received. That should tell you something, that some of the details of their writings were completely wrong... The misconception usually arises when "akanism/bonoism" is only seen in the light of "twism" when in fact twism was rather acquired later on upon several settlements. Dormaa is a newer settlement compared to techiman etc those are some of the few things aduboahene and co either ignorantly or deliberately ignored because of "twism".

I like this history. And this professor did well telling the History. My mom told me almost the same history she got it from her grandmother who died in 1960 at the age of 104. But the professor forgot to mention that It was the Dagbon/Dagomba tribe who welcomed we the Akans on their land. Takyiman, Nkoranza, Kintampo, and some small areas in Bono land today used to belong to the Dagombas and other Northern tribes..they are the first people to settle in Modern Ghana.

[@nopulp9030]

Very insightful, however I’m curious to know how all the different dialects came about! Soo many them.

[@Busumuru24]

Let my try to help... Like he explained, the akan language is typically symbolic and its construction is based on available visuals and historical pattern. Since our ancestors have been constantly migrating and mixing cultures at different points in time with different people, the way they pronounce words tend to change by location which brought about the slight difference in tongues. One of the best ways to learn our typical ancient language is to listen to old proverbs, folklore and traditional songs like the Nwomkro. In addition, the Gods, (Abosssom) and spirits also teach us different lost words and songs when they descend on their Priests (Akɔmfoɔ), so listening to them carefully and learning the meanings from the Akyeame will increase your local language vocabulary. In conclusion, the akan language is intuitive and one become well versed when they practice the traditional rituals that comes with it, at least this is my personal experience. Thanks

[@GordonAmankona-lb2dx]

The first established Akan state was at Bonomanso.

[@amoahfrank5162]

Yes. But he did not talk about the first akan state. Try to distinguish between state and town/village/city (sub-state)... He skipped a lot of things to establish the purpose of the programme. He can't sit in one piece to talk about everything before he establishes "the origin of Ghana". The state was Bonomanso/Bonomanlezo encompassing geolocation in present day Cote D'Ivoire and Ghana. Bonomanso was not just a town but a state (some Guan settlements inclusive). The Actual seat of the bonoman government was initially unknown, but now established to have been finally moved to Techiman (around the geolocation of present day Techiman). So if we can't exactly pinpoint the initial seat of bonoman rulership but we now know exactly where the rulers settled before the complete scattering of the people (primarily due to the Soninke/Mande attacks) then Mr Anokye could use Techiman (the only bonoman seat of government known) for the purpose of the discussion without necessarily mentioning the Bonoman state.

[@smileylady485]

Exactly!!!! i was surprised at him.

[@amoahfrank5162]

He referenced the fact that some traditional account claims what he said, and he went further to give explanation... So that bit is not his notion but what he has gathered from those areas. It may not be factual but that is what he has gathered as a historian. If you had given the meaning of the word "Notsé" then that could shed more light on the matter.

He didn’t ascertain that….he didn’t make that a fact but acclaimed

[@aromahagan1458]

Eeiii I learnt from else where that Ahanta's got their name after crossing the River Pra. They dried themselves and so were called "those drying their bodies" ie. "Ahantafo "

[@josephgyamfi2856]

Something is not making sense here, if we were Akans, how the did we become Bono?, again, Techiman was founded after Asante and Bono war of which the people of Bono scattered and later came back to found Techiman, so it’s wrong to say all Akans comes from Techiman.

[@amoahfrank5162]

He was giving a succinct account, so there was no need to go into the deep details...He however gave a hint that the word bono means the same as akan by stating that bono means "piesie" (the first, primus, pioneer, the apex etc) the same is the meaning of akan (except that the term akan if carefully researched was used by the twifo in lieu de bono). So the word bono and akan are interchangeable but because we still have presently a group of people called bono (as a modern distinct group of the old Bono/akan)) that is why he is narrating it that way. So when you say bono you are actually saying akan (but a twifo style) in reality... But in our modern parlance akan become the superset whilst bono becomes a subset - as bono is now a distinct ethnic group among all those who would have been called BONO in the olden days (but are now collectively called AKAN). In other terms, what he is saying make sense as he is narrating it to be understood based on present indicatives of the various akan ethnic groups.

[@otessmedia8728]

Our great grandfather who we all came from is called Akan when we were in Mesopotamia, during the Ghana Mali war our brothers who first left to settle in Techimam was given the name Bono meaning first Bono is is about 300 to 500 years older than Asante, Asante is not a tribe , it's a warring group formed from our brothers who migrated from Bono Techimam to settle in other lands of now Ghana

[@robinsonnimoh6824]

We thank the professor for his great knowledge in African history, but he has to clarify the point that they all moved from old Ghana/Mali came as one people with the same culture .ie Language ,folklore ,food , clothing etc were the same. It is here their Newfound land that they became divided under different names. What about the language they speak ?What brought about the differences even though the language is similar in speaking.

Our historian doing in so many ways but he uncovered himself as an nkrumaist there he is putting aside the great hustorians before him such professer Adu boahen and JB Dankwa .it is these two credible historians who were to tell us the word Akan.and how it was originated. The full meaning of the word Akan is Akandifuo which he got right .the ancient original name of ghana is not ghana as he claims .The ancient name is known as Akan man.or akandifuo.when the arabs conqured the territory through Islamic expansion ,because the couldn't pronounce the akandifuo properly they chose record the akandifuo in the own dialect as Akani in the scripts. Then English too change the Akani to sounds more English for them that's how we have the name ghana now.any one interested in this information should The historian Adu Boahen and JB Dankwa

[@oseibonsumichael3301]

Again, when kwaeman fought dormaa they ddnt kill the kwaeman chief, now asantes have never fought with present day dormaa people, the leader of then dormaa people are in the present day ivory coast known as the bontoukou… when asantes defeated them, they went to establish gyaamaan kingdom and it was later defeated by the Asantehene opoku ware that led to them going to ivory coast, it was later a portion of them went and asked of land from wamfie people, thats why that place was earlier called wampaamu, they changed their name to dormaa in the early 1940’s

[@oseibonsumichael3301]

Again, there was no asante or akyem before before they started fighting And they twifo were staying at the present day jacobu and manso area After the other clans came together and formed asante that was when they migrated to their present day jukwa amd denkyira So they were all living together and speaking the same language… it was the agona (denkyira) people who were being superior and taking people as slaves
