This man needs to write a book. Such history needs to be preserved at all cost. I don't miss your programmes on Wednesdays because of Lawyer Anokye. Big ups Max TV
What he is doing is also preserving the history as Internet is being archived by the second. You can Google Internet archives as example there are several of them. Nowadays there are Tb of microchips as small as thumb basically I mean it's easier now to store so much because of technology. I get your point that its needs to deliberate. Peace to you
Ashantis were very smart, imagine we all came together as one Africans, no European power would have messed with us. Unity is Power let’s come together as one continent.
Let me add that the British have a war ship named HMS Ashanti. The Ashanti gave the British a run for their money even with inferior weapons. Let's not forget the British conquered half the world but they couldn't conquer Asante.
No matter how embarrassing some aspects of Ghana history is we should always remember that no country has perfect history. Today i heard it was around WW1 that European discovered that watching your hands kills germs but before then Muslims have been cleaning themselves for many centuries. Folk and knives for eating was a results of Europeans protecting their foods from snatchers because food was difficult to comeby as the weather made it impossible in some areas to grow food. Such touch harsh environment develop they psyche to fight and take from others. At that time we from Africa could grow our foods with ease, had lots of medicines that Europeans even call our doctors to bring herbs to treat their many plagues. History is complicated and thats my point, all we can do is learn from it, take what inspires and make conscious effort not to repeat the ones that disgust us. Peace to all Ghanaians and the entire African continent.
The white man learnt the battalion fight from the Ashantis. Ashantis divided the fighters into different divisions. Namely: adonten, benkum, Nifa, and adonten. Each division comprised thousand people. So if you kill one division another division of thousand will come forward.
Just loving this. This Lawyer is very well read and knows his stuff. Especially he's on point with his dates. I can listen to him all day. I wish all this could be put together for our youth to know about our history. We should keep our history alive
The British know all about Ashanti kingdom, but they will never help to put it on a big screen for the whole world to know they could not achieve their agenda( the golden stool)because of the Ashanti spiritual warriors. At the end, they defeated us physically but not spiritually. We still have our golden stool. We thank our ancestors for their sacrifice, especially our mother Queen Yaa Asantewaa
This lawyer is short changing Ghanaian history particularly, the history of Asante. Denkyira is the premier Akan Group in Ghana. The Oyoko clan came from Banda to settle in Denkyira with strict supervision of Denkyirahene during the reign of Nana Boa Amponsem. Denkyira existed 200 years before Asante was created. There is a saying that “ KOTOKO SUM AMPONSEM” and it still holds. Asantemam is an uncompleted remake of Denkyira by Anokye. The AGONA clan, the largest in Asante and in Ghana are Denkyira. Denkyira is organic and need not praise herself in the annals of Akan history. “Denkyira wo be ka”.
Facts check --this historian has mixed some truths with misinformation--' embellished the Asante Kingdom story -- unfortunate for a Historian to engage in this deceptive narration. His intention is to glorify the Asante Kingdom.
I disagree with the Zongo settlements. The Zongos were created by Asantehene for the Northerners who helped Asantes fought wars. Also, due to the fact that the Northerners were fearsome, they lead the war (front runners). The Northerners were held in high esteem and for that they must be close to the Ahenefia (palace). That is the reason why there is Zongo in every major Asante town and usually it is close to the palaces. Therefore, for the Historian Anokye to say the Zongo settlements were created by the British to keep Asante in check is totally FALSE. However, he gave very insightful information that I have learnt a lot.
U can disagree but, fact is Hausas never migrated to the gold coast, present day Ghana like the Dagombas, Kusasi or frafra did. We learnt of Ndewura Djakpa, Torhazia, Naa Gbeewa. They were not Hausa men. So he is right. The Dagombas are part of Ashanti.
@@eyramtettevi1802 The Dagombas are Ashantis great alliance. That is why Ashantis gave them settlements which turn out to be become Zongo. The Dagombas are Muslim so they harbor or receive their kind in their settlements that is why they welcome Hausa people into their settlements now called Zongo.
You are right to partially extent. The original palace at Adum, where the Kumasi fort is situated is not surrounded by Northerners, but by Asantes. However, l can side with you on an account of the proximity of Bantama -warlord (originally the Dagomba ethnic hub) to Adum.
It's not entirely true that we've got settlers in very township in Asante. My home town [Bonwre] is a classical example. We don't have a zongo in Bonwre.
The historian has said it earlier The British brought army's from Gambia, India, Nigeria and seira Leon all because of Ashanti So the kingdom is very powerful and great.
The first Zongo people were not made up of Hausas but rather they were Mendes. The Mendes were living side by side with the Akans when we were living at the Bono Manso.
@@agoogo5026 what is the meaning of zongo, (zongo means Newtown or newsite n besides I'm talking about Hausa people.cos northerns were aliens to Asante's especially dagomba n mind u Hausa are not Ghanaians or not from northerns.
Lawyer has kept me up all night. I just can’t stop listening to him. He’s so knowledgeable, something extremely lacking in Ghana.

Yea book is needed by lawyer anokye frenpong
There’s so many books about the history, first hand accounts too.
This man is a gem, keep him safe
The Ashantis have a strong beautiful history and May God Almighty bless them.
Thank you and God bless you too
I WANT TO ASK HOW DO THE ASHANTIS GET THE TWI LANGUAGE TO COMMUNICATE.?
Ashantis were very smart, imagine we all came together as one Africans, no European power would have messed with us. Unity is Power let’s come together as one continent.
You can't use were because we are still smart
Let me add that the British have a war ship named HMS Ashanti. The Ashanti gave the British a run for their money even with inferior weapons. Let's not forget the British conquered half the world but they couldn't conquer Asante.
Ashanti fell under British rule after the Sagrenti and Yaa Asantewaa wars. Learn!

Yaa asantewaa was a TITAN wow
Am telling u ASHANTIS are UNIQUE with some SERIOUS HISTORICAL background wow
No wonder the world truly recognized them
Asantes are grateful to Yaa Asantewaa
Despite possessing vast knowledge, there is an unmistakable aura of extraordinary humility. Lawyer Anokye is an Asset!
Very humble indeed!!

Kyidom. The back division
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL HISTORY 😍.
PROUD OF ASANTE KINGDOM ( EMPIRE )
Your stories must be turn into movies
bro.... the Ghanaian movie industry is missing a whole lot of real historic event in the arts ooo....
Just loving this. This Lawyer is very well read and knows his stuff. Especially he's on point with his dates. I can listen to him all day. I wish all this could be put together for our youth to know about our history. We should keep our history alive
Long Live Lawyer, Anokye Frimpong🙏🙏🙏🥰😍
The legend is not only smart, but has an excellent sense of humour too….😂😂😂
Then Adum should have been a tourist place more than a business place
Please you've earn my subscription because of Lawyer Anokye
Kumasi airport must named to Yaa Asantewaa thanks from London
"Preemu" is the name of the gun called "Perry Morten", which of course the Asantes could not pronounced. The British fire every mid day in kumasi.
Perry Martin *
Please documentary makers and filmers. This is a story that needs to be on the big screen for the world to know. Great history
Well noticed ✊
WE CAN DO MOVIES ON THAT BUT HOW TO MARKET IT
Well said, I want my children to see our history on screen some day. Hopefully, I'll be alive to see beautiful day.. greetings to Asantehene

There’s so much documentation about these things it can be made into a long docu-series or tv series
Excellent engagement as usual. This man is so humble
I like Lawyer paa.
Well done Lawyer 👏
THIS HISTORIAN NEED THE MEDALS OF THE VOLTA RIVER,GHANA&GOLDEN STOOL,ANY OF THESE MEDALS EXIST.
Ghana can learn a lot from the positives of Ashanti and other ethnic groups in Ghana and replicate it in the national development agenda
What a lesson!!!
We have studied rubbish at school, God !!!!
Politicians have destroyed Asante Kingdom. But Asante remains stronger
Mr. Anokye is the best historian I have ever seen. Am a historian too. Am really learning a lot from him.
Please my name Tuabea friend Akwamufie and Akuapem and I'm a good person 😂😂😂
😂😂
Great Ashantis 👍
Piaaw!!! ✌️

Match in the same way Asante was formed so 🤫

Let’s hear you Nana Professor of History
Akyim maafias
But my village, there's no zongo
Lawyer l always listen to you. Thanks for the good work
💚🖤💛
THIS GREAT HISTORIAN& LAWYER NEED TO DIRECT A MOVIE ABOUT ASHANTI HISTORY &, CULTURE TO SHOWCASE IT IN EVERY HOME ,HERE&ABROAD.

I totally agree with you. The northerners were allies with the Ashantis

Wow....Im proud for them😊
Because of food (saldine) , Fante betrayed Asante
not only fantes, but the whole of the coast excluding Anlos, Elminas and Nzemas.
Aaah 😂😂😂😂😂😂
There's always one. They will sell their birthright for food.
God bless asante, God bless Ghana
I learned this song of Yaa Asantewaa in class six.
For correction, Bono Manso remains in the territory of Ghana, under the Nkoranza paramouncy, who are part of the Asante Kingdom.
It's not entirely true that we've got settlers in very township in Asante. My home town [Bonwre] is a classical example. We don't have a zongo in Bonwre.
Mr. Anokye is the best historian I have ever seen. Am a historian too. Am really learning a lot from him.
ASHANTI NEED A GREAT MOVIE TO SHOWCASE OUR HISTORY&CULTURE TO THE WHOLE WORLD.
Kwame Tua was an espionage .
Long live Asante long live the kingdom
Lawyer pls without the golden stool Akyem still cant b equal to Asante stool cos no paramount chief under his stool facts
Please this man should be awarded must be given opportunities to help rewrite our mother land Ghana history. Thanks God bless you Daddy.
No animal can catch the porcupine, be large or small not even the lion
Hopefully, those who don’t Asante pride are informed. That said, One Nation, One Pride.
Asked the Mann which language the white were using in terms of communication???
So in the history of Israel king Solomon never go for war, till he died
Nice teaching
Wow nice 1 lawyer
British brought hausa people from Nigeria n some tribe in Gh here to fight Asante's so pls check ur history well.
But that is what he said
The historian has said it earlier
The British brought army's from Gambia, India, Nigeria and seira Leon all because of Ashanti
So the kingdom is very powerful and great.
That's what exactly he said pls
Not only from Nigeria but India, Benin, and Sierra Leon as stated in the whites man history book
