There's nothing surprise about this as far as the Mali Empire is concerned, as there was a city called Gana but not Ghana where the Akans were living with their neighbours who also migrated to Ivory coast when their king Soumangourou Kanté was killed by the famous Soundjiata Keita with a spur of a white rooster as result of the migration of the Akans to the then gold coast (Ghana).Never forget that the Mali empire was very massive and extended to Burkina,Niger,Chad, Ivory Coast,Senegal ect but in general there is a strong connection between our people of the west Africa as most of them settled in that empire for many years since the fall of Egypt empire that their ancestors ruled before the arrival of the Arabs in years 665-to 689 to protect Egypt from flank attack by Byzantine and Cyrene.

Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire are much alike! We have Kouame when Ghaneans have Kwame. The saddest thing is that we are neighbors but we dont really know each other. We are brothers separated at birth and adopted by French family for the Ivorians and a British family for the Ghaneans. When Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire will reunite i can tell you we will be a formidable force in West Africa. Thanks to Wode Maya for showing us that Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana share more things in common than people on both sides of the border can imagine.
Kouame, Kwame is the same name, usually given to a male born on Saturday. It is only that Cote d'Ivoire use a French convention to write it. Ghana through its bureau of languages & predecessor standardised certain local languages. So Kwame is in fact the correct spelling (Ghana uses latin characters and some ipa such as ɔ, ɛ, ʃ & ŋ which neither french or english use) There are of course variations in pronounciation and sometimes spelling due to various languages. It is unfortunate we dont understand this But as an example the people like Banda and Nzema straddle both countries and this happened long before those artificial lines imposed by invaders from europe were drawn up. We need to understand that and realise we are ONE
@guevara9841 i know Nigerians don’t relate with Ghanaians because of different tribes and not a common African language apart from English. I’m a Ghanaian by the way.

Thank you M. Maya for this Ivory Coast episode. I am from the Baoule tribe which belongs to the larger AKAN group of Ivory Coast. The central part of the country through to the eastern part down to the south including Abidjan is home to the AKAN group. So I believe that the biggest AKAN group outside of Ghana is in the Ivory Coast. I kindly suggest that you come back to do more series on our common culture and history. With love 🙏
Woode Maya, this is really incredible. In fact I am from Assinie Mandjian (PK12), a fante community in Assinie as well. I wish you could pass there as well. My father is the Fante chief there. I wish I was there, I would have joined and showed around🙂. I just watched the video from Kojokrom, Takoradi.
I grew up in Abidjan, schooled there a little before moving to Ghana. In fact Ghana and côté d’ivoire there are no differences. Same culture, same language and same people. Will visit soon.
The part that got me is when Wode Maya and the young lady hair dressing apprentice were talking.....WE SPEAK THE SAME LOCAL LANGUAGE BUT I SPEAK english AND SHE SPEAKS french..... That part really touch my heart Effects of colonialism
Never knew Ivory Coast was this beautiful until this series. For a long time all I knew about Ivory Coast was the war because this is what the Western media showcases. Thanks WM for showcasing the African continents' glory to the world.
We got a song in Kenya done by Wahome Mwangi "Abidjan" ... it goes like "Ningí, Abidjan ti kûndû Kunene írí o gûkû Africa!" literary translated "also, Abidjan is not far away, it is here in Africa!"From what I see, I already love Ivory Coast and their cities are looking awesome. Their people are shockingly good... before your expose, I always believed the western media narrative about... war, xenophobia and poverty. Thank you Wode Maya for the story from ground zero!
@@julianaansah6367 where did I dispute that they are related to the Ghanaians? I merely pointed out the inaccuracy of your claim that they are one Akan people and pointed out the real ethnicities of the majority of the people. Fact is no group in Togo identifies as Akan. There are descendants of Akans there because you had Akan warriors travelling in the region to fight wars against or for Dahomey in different centuries and those warriors naturally had relations with local women on the one hand, or Guan-Fanti canoemen who settled in these areas but but it doesnt mean the offspring identify as Akan. The culture of the peoples are Guan, Ga-Gun-Mina, Adangbe, ewe, Adja, Yoruba, etc not Akan. Sometimes Akans need to learn about the cultures and identities of other people and stop making assumptions about them
@@tvs9978 stfuu u idiot there is Akans in Togo who identify as akan and also wear the same traditional attire and practice the culture stfu talking about we need to learn what?? and what u are saying again is trying to say there really isn’t Akans in Togo and there are what u are saying is nonsense read what I said well and elaborate properly and who told u there aren’t those who identify as Akans the warriors u are talking about did not stay there because of war and mix with some women that war we were ambushed by the Dahomey the oyo and the akyem who stopped us from going where we were going and we left came back to Ghana the ashanti empire expanded all the way to Ivory Coast and Togo and naturally Akans were in those places not because of war exactly so u get ur facts straight and there is no assumptions here so stfu there are Akans in Togo stfu and there is no where when I said all the Togolese are Akans or only Akans so what are u saying
@@tvs9978there are literally Togolese ppl who are akan and I don’t care about majority nothing clearly u don’t know how to read cuz I said some are Akans not majority read well before talking there is Togolese that are Akan who wear kente etc just like us so stfuu im not talking about the ga or ewe here and never did I say most of them are Akans to begin with so rather u need to teach urself how to read well and not us akan need to learn nothing we Akans don’t make any assumptions about shit the fact is there are Togolese that are Akans and u are rather the one talking rubbish
Infact some Nzemas intermarry their Ivorian counterparts (the Appolos). Nzema and Appolo are the same language. I personally have Ivorian relatives that I have not met before. It's sad.
I hope Ghana is watching as Wode Maya is CONNECTING GHANIAN FAMILY! This is beautiful watching Maya connecting with Ghanian family. God has an amazing way of preserving His People! Shalom family
We have been divided by Anglophone, Francophone, and all other languages, we are so bent out of shape and proud of these languages, which has removed us far from each other. Now that we know better what are doing to integrate ourselves through economic activities. If we can socially unite, why not create an opportunity that we can make money together? Money can unite us faster and move us forward than anything we can think about.
Maya that's why africa has to get rit of the borders. One big happy family again. And the maroon diaspora are coming home. We need a airline from Suriname to Ghane 🇸🇷 🌎. We left by boot and we are coming home by plaine. Maby ✈️ some privet Jets. Visa Versa. And pick up al the family members in the Caribbean We can have a cook out. pepe soup. Okra soup and peanut butter soup. Thank you Maya you are connecting mother Africa with her children.🎉
Colonisers have done so much damage between Ghana and ivory Coast due to language. Ivorians and Ghanaian are the same people by blood line. Ghanaians should get on better with Ivorians than they are with Nigerians.
There is a big Ghanaian village in the Gambia (the coastal area) as well with schools, market etc. A visit to Ivory Coast have been on my bucket list. Thanks Kwabena and crew. I now know all the fun places to visit. Shalom
Wode Maya, Bienvenue en Côte d’Ivoire Mon pays. Finally! I wish I was home now to host you. I was home for a month in March and came back to the USA in April. So glad you are visiting francophone countries.
The best time to watch Maya’s videos is early in the morning. His choice of songs, his soul piercing laughter and his unscripted spontaneous videos is what you need to start your day. He is a vibe. Thank me later.
But every coastal city of Côte d’Ivoire, have a Fanti community. I came from a coastal city near Liberia. They have their villages there. They intermarried with locals. They’re our fishermen. Next time, go to Tabou, San Pedro, and Berebi; you’ll meet your people
Thank you, I was going to say the same thing, I've lived and worked in this area: San-Pedro, Grand-Bereby, Sassandra and I can confirm that there's a large Ghanaian community there. They have similar villages next to (or in) our Ivorian villages. There are Ghanaian schools, with the same system as in Ghana, which the children attend. Back home in the south of Côte d'Ivoire, not only do we share common cultures with the Ghanaians, but we've always lived in peace with them in our villages. That's how things are.
Wode, the Ivorian are our brothers. not only Akans but you’ll find some areas with Ga-Adangbe roots. mainly Krobo and Ga lineage. After Akwamu wars in 1680-1733, many from this group migrated to Togo, but some migrated west into Ivory Coast.
They are all migration of ghanaian fishermen ( fishing at large )who has settle around the shores of west africa . From centuries!!.every where you go ..you will find ghana town ( settlement )
You have proved to me that one person can definitely make a big difference if we decide to be the change we are looking for. Anytime I try to spread your work with fellow Africans in the UK 🇬🇧 they always say… who doesn’t know the great Wade Maya. Keep up the good work bro.
Loved this video, West Indies Caribbean, South American, our cultures are so intertwined, our languages may be different, finding our tribe almost impossible, but fou fou tells it all, we are one.
Ghanaians are in Liberia too. I remember during the Ghana card registration most of the fishermen who came in were Ghanaians who are based both in Ghana and Liberia
We are just the same people that were divided by the border. Thanks for bringing this to light ..I love the story about half Assini n Assinie ..with Ghana n Ivory Coast should be one ..all of Africa should work as a United front remove the barrier and just ensure safety and the security of everyone ❤
Africa need more people like WodeMaya who travel around Africa with just one goal "To change the narrative about Africa and show us (the audience) all the beauty some of us normally only see in books or hear in schools, churches, social media platforms or any other public gatherings." Africa need more people who see the good in others all in a bit to make life better for all. Together, we are capable of changing the narrative about Africa. May God continue to guide and direct each and every one of us in every step we're taking to better our lives and change the narrative about Africa.
The Assine in Ivory Coast used to be called Moitie Assine which means Half Assine. In sum, Assin falls in two parts half in Ghana and the other half in Ivory Coast. Same people.
This video tells us that you can settle at where ever you find peace. If I imagine how a Ghanaian would live in someone else’s country without ever been to their motherland tells we should settle where there’s peace
Ivory coast are Kwa people because we had Ga-adangbe migration, Guan , Ewe , Krobo and the Akan migration we have some tribe in Ivory coast call krobou and Ega.
My uncle used to rent some of his land facing the beach to fante fishermen in a village not too far from this area. I haven't been there since 2001. It brings back memories.
Those are Ghanaian settlers, see how there are allowed to have a village in the middle of assinie , see how assinie is being build but their village is not touched by the government, it shows the true hospitality of Ivorian
That is one stupid comment... Africa had no borders.. you still in mental slavery abiding by European rules and borders that they created to separate us.. and here you come with your ignorant comment.. see how hospitable ivorians are.. nonsense
Just love how Wode Maya spks Fante!! Proper Tadi accent, guy-guy nkoaa 😂😂😂. Hey I say... 😂 always interspersed with English, that's fantes for you!! Beautiful lingo!!
This video needs more views... imaging experiencing your countries rich & vibrant culture everywhere across Africa while trading and experiencing different cultures as well! Africa Unite ❤
Wode Maya, it should not be surprising to find Ghana people in Ivory Coast. This is a common phenomenon in Southern Africa, Botswana South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia, Malawi etc etc...we even have common words with Kenyans😲
Maya, do you know that Assini township in Ghana extended to lvory coast. It was the colonians British and the French who divided Assini into two. The other part Assini in Ghana is called half Assini.
We shouldn't be surprised by this, the Akan people are one of the major ethnic groups of the Country. The U.K & France are the ones who conquered & divided the lands and it's peoples.

You have proved to me that one person can definitely make a big difference if we decide to be the change we are looking for. Anytime I try to spread your work with fellow Africans in the UK 🇬🇧 they always say… who doesn’t know the great Wade Maya. Keep up the good work bro.
Hello Mr ghana baby Africa to the world 🌎 you are the greatest and the greatest.from usa 🇺🇸
Ivory Coast 🇨🇮 felt like Ghana 🇬🇭 will want visit one day ❤❤. We r 1 ppl Africa . Thanks to wodemaya 🤴.
This is an informative and educative Video❤ Thank you Wode Maya. We will travel To Ivory Coast and Ghana because of you🤝
Loved this video, West Indies Caribbean, South American, our cultures are so intertwined, our languages may be different, finding our tribe almost impossible, but fou fou tells it all, we are one.
Everyone in the world is intertwine somehow. You people are not African
I love african accent,its a great nostalgia for my continent. ❤
WODE MAYA AFRICA CAN BE ONE BIG COUNTRY IF THEY OPEN ALL THE BORDERS ❤ WHO ALL AGREEE ? ❤❤❤❤
I agree.
We don't need the borders
Africa must unite now
There's also a ghana town in Delta state Nigeria you will love to be there
Wode Maya, it is breathtaking how you are connecting Africa to the world. You're probably spirit is awesome❤🤗❤
Now Wode Maya has proven me right.I always say Ghana has a link with Ivory Coast than any African country.
True. We just have language barrier
Same as Togo and Burkina Faso. Same people separated by artificial borders
Ivory cost and Ghana is like sud korea , North korea today One Land divided in two
Watching from Uganda 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
Ivory coast Ghana is the same family Ghana person can't lose in ivory coast
African is Really beautiful. Proudly African
Cote d’ Ivore is a beautiful country. The Fante people loves fishing and most of them settle in different west African countries along the coast.
Wow a whole Ghana hide out in Ivory Coast. Is amazing how some of them have never been to Ghana.
Ghanaians are in Liberia too. I remember during the Ghana card registration most of the fishermen who came in were Ghanaians who are based both in Ghana and Liberia
Infact the entire coastline from Gambia to Angola there are Ghanaian fishermen especially the Fante people
Let me say amazing content before i watched the whole video because it gonna be wow
I see you my bro
Hearing Assini n knowing that in Ghana there's Half Assini ...i mean ...wow !..we are brothers n sisters oo...
We are just the same people that were divided by the border. Thanks for bringing this to light ..I love the story about half Assini n Assinie ..with Ghana n Ivory Coast should be one ..all of Africa should work as a United front remove the barrier and just ensure safety and the security of everyone ❤
I can't wait for the day Africa will become one
Thanks Wode for this. I have just booked a ticket to visit Abidjan with my family for a week.
I wish you visit congo 🇨🇩 this time connect with me before you go 🙏🏾🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩✊🏾
Africa need more people like WodeMaya who travel around Africa with just one goal "To change the narrative about Africa and show us (the audience) all the beauty some of us normally only see in books or hear in schools, churches, social media platforms or any other public gatherings."
Africa need more people who see the good in others all in a bit to make life better for all. Together, we are capable of changing the narrative about Africa.
May God continue to guide and direct each and every one of us in every step we're taking to better our lives and change the narrative about Africa.
Love love love your comment...❤
The Assine in Ivory Coast used to be called Moitie Assine which means Half Assine. In sum, Assin falls in two parts half in Ghana and the other half in Ivory Coast. Same people.
This video tells us that you can settle at where ever you find peace. If I imagine how a Ghanaian would live in someone else’s country without ever been to their motherland tells we should settle where there’s peace
Ivory coast are Kwa people because we had Ga-adangbe migration, Guan , Ewe , Krobo and the Akan migration we have some tribe in Ivory coast call krobou and Ega.
My man you're really digging the golden part of Africa
My uncle used to rent some of his land facing the beach to fante fishermen in a village not too far from this area. I haven't been there since 2001. It brings back memories.
Those are Ghanaian settlers, see how there are allowed to have a village in the middle of assinie , see how assinie is being build but their village is not touched by the government, it shows the true hospitality of Ivorian
Because we are basically the same people.
That is one stupid comment... Africa had no borders.. you still in mental slavery abiding by European rules and borders that they created to separate us.. and here you come with your ignorant comment.. see how hospitable ivorians are.. nonsense
Just love how Wode Maya spks Fante!! Proper Tadi accent, guy-guy nkoaa 😂😂😂. Hey I say... 😂 always interspersed with English, that's fantes for you!! Beautiful lingo!!
Once Fantse remove the english and speak pure fantse it will be perfect! It's already the best Akan language
This video needs more views... imaging experiencing your countries rich & vibrant culture everywhere across Africa while trading and experiencing different cultures as well! Africa Unite ❤
Ghana in Ivory Coast👏
Wode Maya, it should not be surprising to find Ghana people in Ivory Coast. This is a common phenomenon in Southern Africa, Botswana South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia, Malawi etc etc...we even have common words with Kenyans😲
Maya, do you know that Assini township in Ghana extended to lvory coast. It was the colonians British and the French who divided Assini into two. The other part Assini in Ghana is called half Assini.
Nkrumah begged Boigny to have the other half given to Ghana since that’s his people do that he will give them seikwa and sampa but he said no
We shouldn't be surprised by this, the Akan people are one of the major ethnic groups of the Country. The U.K & France are the ones who conquered & divided the lands and it's peoples.
I pick a lot of lessons from your videos ❤❤❤
God bless you more.
I'm in shock 😲😲 no comment just wow 😳😳😳
Arise Mama Africa 🇬🇭🇬🇳🇮🇪🇧🇴 Kemet land of my father's father's father's Father Mansa Musa Ase Ase Amen
Love all your work I have learned so much! I watch more of your content than I do News networks here in the US. Please consider doing a big chunk of work in Cameroon. God Bless You. From a grateful American.
Wonderful inspiration from the legend @wodemaya 👍🏾
Am honored receiving your first like it made my day. you are just a great inspiration and I know definitely one day in will tell my story standing or seating next to you.
What a FANTASTIC video! It feels like a documentary. Keep up the good work. If the Lord says the same, I will be visiting Ghana soon.
You are welcome in advance
Wode Maya this is something that you did not discover in Liberia, the Ghanaian community in Liberia is huge. Most of them are also fante.
Yes entire coastline from Gambia to Angola there are Ghanaian fishermen
@@kobyk8784 fante fishermen follow fish the way Hausa/Igbo follow trade, Chinese/India chase gold the world over
I was also very impressed with Ivory Coast. Just an hour plane ride from Ghana and yet so different in some ways. Assine was amazing. Such a gem.
It's not the only one village big boss it's many in ivory coast them don't know ur impact in Africa ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 💯🇬🇭🇨🇮
