OseiTutu, I've been tagging you in comment sections on TikTok that let's link up and learn together. I'm a historian and I love what you do.

Thanks for the lesson. From what I know, a slave of Barima Kofi Sei, (called Awuah Panyin), was made Bantamahene after Kofi Sei was enstooled as Osei Tutu. I am not sure if that happened when Osei Tutu was Kwamanhene or Asantehene

Thanks

Point of correction, from the time of Nana Twum ne Antwi to Obiri Yeboah, there was nothing like Asante. Those Kings were King of Kwaaman. Even Otumfour Osei Tutu 1 Opemsoɔ was a king of Kwaaman before the founding of Asante... So Osei Tutu 1 is the 1st King of Asante Kingdom. Thank you🙏

This monument has something to do with the birthday of Otumfuo Osei Tutu Agyeman Prempeh II. History has it that on August 1892, a mysterious leopard invaded Dominase in Kumasi, killed two and wounded five. The then Asantehene, Nana Kwaku Dua III, asked the gong-beaters to summoned his warriors and skilled hunters with clear instructions demanding that they catch the leopard ('ɔsebɔ') alive. While the hunters were searching to capture the leopard, Nana Abakoma of Edweso Besease, a princess and granddaughter of Asantehemaa Nana Afua Kobi I and wife of Nana Kwaku Owusu was heavily pregnant and due to give birth. Finally the leopard was captured alive, as at the time they returned home with the good news to the Asantehene, the mmagyegyefuo (royal nannies) also came to announce the delivery of a royal baby by Nana Abakoma at Edweso. Nana Kwaku Dua III was on record to have said the baby would be called Barima Kwame Kyeretwie, meaning 'catch the leopard'. The monument therefore represent an occasion in which Otumfuo Osei Agyemang Prempeh II (14th Asantehene or king of the Ashanti) was born and named Barima Kwame Kyeretwie because a LEOPARD was caught alive on his birthday. The controversy surrounding this specific monument is the animal used - instead of a leopard, the artist used a LION.
