I have been enjoying his lectures as a history buff and this is one of his best; most accurate. The Anum people that accompanied Osei Tutu, as directed by the Akwamuhene, were 300 warriors under Anum Asamoah. These were placed under the Asafohene, the chief warrior of Kwaman (Kumasi) and also became the Abrafo (police force). These Anum warriors, being foreigners, owed allegiance to the king, just like Amankwatia, the future field commander, who was also the King's friend from Denkyira. The Akwamus, having been in contact with the Danes, could use muskets, whereas the rest of the Akans were using swords, thus explaining why the sword is the symbol of authority in Ashanti. Indeed, the Ashanti project couldn't have survived without the support of Akwamu; Akwamu gave birth to Asante. As instructed by the founders, it's a taboo in Ashanti to expose the origins of another individual ( Asante Nkae, literally meaning, Asante doesn't remember). This sole and simple policy forged a common identity and absolute unity; a policy that differentiated Asante from Denkyira. Defeated states became part of the Kingdom with assigned responsibilities.

Mother Ghana , people will never learn from such wise people.
Thank God Lawyer Anokye Frimpong teaches in English for us Akan descendants from the Caribbean who lost our mother tongue.
Okomfo Anokye escaped from Notsié in Togo 😊...
Asante is NOT a tribe... it's a CONFEDERATION of different Akan tribes 😊
comot for there, which Togo
He was an ewe man from Noste
Was Okomfo Anokye not an Ewe?
Is Okonfo Anokye an ewe?
Yes he was
Why do the Wiamose people claim Okonfo is from that area?
I think it is because of the school
he was given the Agona throne, he became a chief at that area before his demise
I use to believe this man, but this story of Okomfo Anokye, either he doesn’t know or he is making up a lot of that. It’s embarrassing
ASHANTI OHHH ASHANTI'S NOW ARE YOU LISTENING THE DENKYIRA WAS THE ONE RULLING GHANA EMPIRE NOT OSEI TUTU
This's not the real story and also the man was an Ewe. 😊
Is he not from volta region.The truth must be told
He was an Ewe man
