I am very happy Denkyiraman is now making head on to the global stage. Let's keep promoting our kingdom for the betterment of the new generation. I am proud to be a Denkyiran.
Yes, ooooo bro Isaac , Denkyira is the first kingdom in Ghana when there were many chiefs as clan leaders at the time but no king . And has trained a lot of chiefs and kings such as Kofi Sei Tutu of kwaman who became the ( Asa N'ti king ) . Okomfoɔ Anokye of Agona ( chief ) and formal Akwamu king Ansa Sasraku who led the Akwamu's from Twifɔ to( Okreɛ Akwamu) currently Akwapim . Kingdom history started in Ghana from Denkyira since 1500 by our great ancestors Nana Yaa Ayekra Adeboa ( the fetish priestesses ) with the BANKAMDWA, the beads STOOL . Pls let's pursue our history , culture., and tradition , Am a Pastor though but since I'm a Denkyira Royal from Nsuayem l, Sobroso, and A'wia wia palace around Ayanfuri , I was taught at age ten when I was in Dunkwa . Even the Bible is full of, history, Events, culture, tradition, sites and dates of events ( Theology ) . God bless you Sir,
Defeat is shameful, so it is normal to twist the history. History tells us that asante expanded beyond the boarders of present day Ghana, yet no tribe in Ghana accept that ashanti conquered all of them. We thank God for written history
Oo yes and nobody tells the truth when they possessed something that doesn’t belongs to them so it’s all such a painful truth. Luckily culture never dies so we get to know the roots and the beginning of everything.
It has been stated emphatically in the great BOOK that ; the SERVANT shall not be grater than the MASTER, Denkyira is still a master when it comes to ( a'henesem ) within the Akan state . Bankamdwa is the ( BEADS STOOL )of Denkyira Kingdom since 1500 , Denkyira Pentemprem Mene so no , Piaaa..........w, more live Denkyira Kingdom, thanks so much LAWYER
@@KingMe1 hahaha always looking for ways to make a Bono relevant, you can go back and front with your fantasy yet Ashantis hold the Akan tribes together period.
I have always been wanted to know because Denkyira is a mix of clans led by Agonna people. Does that means Oyokoo or any other clans living in Denkyira land are not Denkyira People or what?. Please, explain if you can. Thank you.
Yes is true , both comes from Akwamu and belongs to AGONA clan,later Okomfoɔ Anokye became an agona chief in Akwamufiɛ after he helped Kofi Sei Tutu to succeeded his purpose to become a king in Asa n'ti war against Ntim Gyakari of Denkyira where he Anokye was sacked by then late Otitietreɛ Odeɛfouɔ Boa Amponsem l ( Adaka breɛ ). Akwamu's are part of AGONA clan came out from Twifɔ in lower Denkyira , immigrated through fanti land Abura , Agona Swedru , Akim land and finally settled at Okreɛ Akwamufiɛ . Thanks so much bro, history repeat itself 😃😃 I'm part of the Denkyira Agona Royals from Dunkwa, currently in Accra . Stay bless
Thanks for that. From what I know, Komfo Anokye had misunderstanding with Denkyira and Barima Kofi Sei (Osei Tutu) had an illicit liaison with the sister of Denkyira Hene in whose court he was serving. There was therefore a plan to do away with Kofi Sei. Kofi Sei's slave heard of the plot and informed him. Kofi Sei therefore fled to Akwamu (to the court of Ansa Sasraku?). His uncle (Kwaman Hene died) when he was in Akwamu. The then heir apparent was reluctant to be enstooled as Kwaman Hene (they had just lost a war with Dormaa). Komfo Anokye encouraged his friend Kofi Sei to ascend the Kwaman stool which he did. He avenged the defeat of his uncle by Dormaa. He later formed a union with other Amanhene (Asante) to fight against the Denkyira with the help of Komfo Anokye. Some prominent Denkyira detected to Asante during the war. Barima Kofi Sei's slave who saved his life by informing him of the plot to kill him in Denkyira, became the first Bantama Hene
thanks, we all learning and your view is also considered, will see if we can ever have you to tell us what you know, so we can all make history in our time, thanks
@@studio502tvgh I'm grateful for your kind comments. I have no formal qualifications in history, but I love history and I have had the chance to study it. I am happy to do my part in our learning.

@@davidboamah6679 David, your version is similar to what I have learned. Osei Tutu's father was an Akwamu. That is why he fled to Akwamu. Upon the death of his uncle, Akwamuhene gave him an army to accompany him to Asante. They were Akwamus and Anums. After ascending the Kwaaman stool, he created an Akwamuhene and settled the Anums at what is now Adum.
@@NanaKNOwusu The number of men he left Akwamufie with to Kwaman cannot be called an army. He was given an armed gaurd resembling a big platoon or a small batallion.
@@scriptsstudios Can you corroborate the account about the origins of 'Otumfuo', that he was a blacksmith Ortumfuor. I have also heard that was his father's profession.
Ansah Sasraku was Bono hene not Denkyira. Denkyira adopted their practices from Bono, which was passed on to Osie Tutu. This is why the kete and Adinkra is considered as Bono heritage of all Akans.
@@littlegenius6932 Denkyria first passed through Bono and learned plenty from them. The Osei Tutu and Obiri Yeboah learned everything from Denkyria. That's a fact.
Because most of you Denkyiran's are hiding your identity especially those in kumasi and claimed that Denkyiran's and Ashanti's are all the same but we are not , Thanks a lot
Denkyira is one of the 12 tribes/ state of the Akan nation ie Denkyira, Adansi, Bono, Sefwi,Nsema,Akwamu, Akuapim, Wassa, Aowin, Ahanta, Assin and Fanti .All the 12 tribes belongs to the 8 Clans of the Akan nation ie Oyoko, Asona, Eduana, Ekuona, Bretuo ,Asekyiri Agona and Asenie .None of these 12 tribes migrated from Egypt , Israel, Mesopotamia or any other country, to live naked on the Promised land. If Denkyira is 'Piesie' , a Piesie is the first born .So who gave birth to the 'Piesie'? Where is the mother of the Piesie, Manu and Mensah? Moreover, Denkyira as a tribe or state never raised arms or conquered any of the Akan tribes as erroneously told.What happened was that, when the Portuguese arrived in the Akan nation 1471 and wanted to exploit the gold resources in Adansi, they recruited men from the Denkyira state as a militia force and used them to overthrow the Clan rulers in Adansimanso (Adansi) and built a mining camp named Abankesieso near Essumegya, Adansimanso and Fehyiese around 1480's ,where the recruits from Denkyira ensured force labour and payments of tributes in gold to the Portuguese. This caused the exodus of Clans migrating from Adansimanso to Akyem Abuakwa ( Okye-Abuka) Mampon, Edweso, Offinso, Kokofu, Juaben, Beposo, Nsuta etc .We have to know that, the 12 tribes are one people with the Afina-kwa as their symbol of Authority, in the custody of the occupant of the Ekuona stool in Adansi. Every Akan is named after the Afina-kwa. Females are named after Afina and every Male is named after Kwa. We must also know that, the Denkyira state was never a Kingdom. What is erroneously described as' Denkyira Kingdom' was the Portuguese militia force at Abankesieso who were paid to subject the people of Adansi to gain freehold on the gold resources. Nana Osei was one of the servants serving the Denkyira recruited militia commander at Abankesieso. He impregnated the sister of the Commandant ,Ako Abena Bansua and fearing for his life, escaped to the Akwamu state where he returned later with Nana Amankwatia, Komfo Anokye and 300 armed Akwamu soldiers, given to him by Nana Ansa Sasraku to form the Asa-nti armed forces to overthrow the Denkyira militia force at Abankesieso . Where the Commandant, Nana Ntim Gyakari in attempt to escape, was captured at Fehyiese and beheaded. The remaining militia men escaped to the Denkyira state under Nana Buadu Akefun who inherited Nana Ntim Gyakari. He invited warriors from Takyiman and Akyem Abuakwa to retake Abankesieso but were brutally defeated. Those from Akyem Abuakwa settled at Buabinso while those from Takyiman settled at Diaso to date.It took some years for the Exiled militia force in Denkyira to reign supreme in the Denkyira state.As a result, the Denkyira war Commander has no land of his own in the Denkyira state. If not the fact that,Nana Opoku Ware seized Ahafo land from the Sefwi army commander Ebiri Moro, it would be said that, the Asa-nti ,Abuakwa and Denkyira war Commanders have no land of their own. Except by conquest, every land in the Akan nation belongs to the Clans and not the warriors, commanders or chiefs. Colonization by the British gave undeserved status to chiefs or war Commanders.

U totally right..this,was what my grandfather told me..l don't know why they lies..are they ashamed.. their grandfathers were .. beating by Ashanti's ..
@ Justice Asafo-Adjei your narrative has a ring of truth and coherence. The lawyer in the video is a disgrace to the legal profession and academia. He is indeed a liar and not a lawyer.
The Problem with Our History is, because of ILLITERACY or Whatever there was No Proper Documentation of things. Facts and Fabrications. We've lost so MUCH
This history can't be completely without Akwamu. Okomfo Anokye was captured by King Ansah Ansa Sasraku the king of Akwamu whom Osei Tutu fleed to after he slept with the Denkyira king's niece.
Ashantis must listen to history. If denkyera learned akans culture from bono nchiraa and nchiraa is also akyenpemhene of olden days bono kingdom and if ashantis learned akans culture from denkyera. Who is first akan? And ashantis always says they from techiman if they from techiman and they still learned akans culture from denkyera?
No wonder even the Arch of the Covenant of God of Israel is missing and we don’t know where it is. At least we know where the Golden stool and other things of Denkyira are. I wonder if we can get our real name Adeu back now that we’re no longer in Nkyira.
The truth is that Denkyira was under Adanse hegemony for a long time until they broke free through war and became the dominant empire for years. Kwaman united under the first Asantehene Opemsuo Osei Tutu to conquer the Denkyiras. Abankesieso or Banso, the capital of ancient Denkyira was sacked. They were forced across the Pra river and found refuge among the Assin and Twifo. It was during these difficult times that they founded Jukwa. In the cosmology of the Denkuiras, Banso, though non existent still remains their spiritual and ancestral home. Denkyira was built along the Ofin river and therefore was called Ofinba. Denkyira had powerful kings among whom are Werempe Ampem, Boa Amponsem, Ntim Gyakari, Kyei Akoben, Gyan Badu, Amoako Atta Panin, Amoako Atta Kuma, Kwadwo Otibo and many more. The Agona clan popularly known as Ago Nana originates from ancient Denkyira. It was Denkyira that controlled all the forts and castles at Cape Coast, Elmina and others and collected the ground rents. Once Asante overthrew the kingdom, they seized all documents related to the forts and the castles. The history of Asante is inextricably bound with that of Denkyira. Every Agona stool in Asante and elsewhere is traceable to ancient Denkyira. The puts the Bono town of Nkyeraa as one of the ancient settlements after the collapse of the earlier empires like Songhai, Ghana and Mali.
Denkyira controlled what forts ? Do you know the history of Elmina and Cape Coast? Denkyira came to meet them. Even the land they are staying on at Jukwa was given to them by Oguaa. All the castle money were paid to Oguaa and Eguafo kings respectively. After the Dutch defeated the Eguafo and the Portuguese, Elmina castle fell under Dutch control. Fantes were enemies with the Dutch so the Dutch paid ground rents to Ashanti because they traded with them. Elmina fell under Dutch control. The only castle rent that was being paid to Ashanti was Elmina. Cape Coast castle has always been paid to Oguaa. Oguaa and Eguafo have been on the coast for about 1000 years.
They never under any adanse. If you are under some one and he talks shit about your wife can you fight him for that?? I repeat they were never under any adanse
Asante PEOPLE don't want to hear this TRUTH, but history will tell, and repeat itself because Denkyira people are dynamic in HISTORY. No servant is above the ( MASTER ) Adawu Adawu Denkyira Pentenprem, Piaaaaawww

The name Atwima was given to them after settling at Asanteman mu. There was no Atwima as this man is claiming, Asante is just like Israel ruled by Egyptians, the only difference is the Asante's fought for their freedom, while Israel were led out of Egypt by divine intervention but later fought to occupy lands. What happened before Berima Kofi Osei left Denkyira will be soon known to the public. He never impregnated anyone. Do you know one Nkawie Hene went back to Denkyira to rule them as Denkyira Hene?
Nice to hear. But most of all these (Denkyiras) have even mingle with the Asantes through settlements and now see themselves as Asantes. I for one, I'm an example.

Master stop that nonsense you have been defeated by the Asante. Asante defeated every kingdom on the world 🌎. They fought every kingdom and defeated 🤴 everyone in Ghana 🇬🇭. Ghana is Asante and Asante and Asante is Ghana 🇬🇭.
So you are tell me whatever Asante knows from Denkyira cos we used to come n served there but what about yall came n stay in Bono for 100 yrs.it means whatever y'all knew were from Bono ryt smh.stop the hate cos Denkyira people are not everywhere but Asantes are facks
What do you know about world history? Akans are the Ancient Arkadians from Mesopotamia. We moved to Babylonia to Carthage and Ghana Empire. ua-cam.com/video/GVaoA6UCdU0/v-deo.html
It doesn't cost anything to be truthful. This guy is going in circles trying to lie about history. Ntim Gyakari was captured and killed by the Ashantis during the battle of Feyiase. Go back and learn your history lesson well.
but what did he say. foolish man like u. next time listen very well b4 u comment. he said all his soldiers deserted him and he was captured by the Ashanti's. Ur face like a fool.....

Denkyira is one of the 12 tribes/ state of the Akan nation ie Denkyira, Adansi, Bono, Sefwi,Nsema,Akwamu, Akuapim, Wassa, Aowin, Ahanta, Assin and Fanti .All the 12 tribes belongs to the 8 Clans of the Akan nation ie Oyoko, Asona, Eduana, Ekuona, Bretuo ,Asekyiri Agona and Asenie .None of these 12 tribes migrated from Egypt , Israel, Mesopotamia or any other country, to live naked on the Promised land. If Denkyira is 'Piesie' , a Piesie is the first born .So who gave birth to the 'Piesie'? Where is the mother of the Piesie, Manu and Mensah?

The Agona clan popularly known as Ago Nana originates from ancient Denkyira. It was Denkyira that controlled all the forts and castles at Cape Coast, Elmina and others and collected the ground rents. Once Asante overthrew the kingdom, they seized all documents related to the forts and the castles.
The history of Asante is inextricably bound with that of Denkyira. Every Agona stool in Asante and elsewhere is traceable to ancient Denkyira. The puts the Bono town of Nkyeraa as one of the ancient settlements after the collapse of the earlier empires like Songhai, Ghana and Mali.
Nice one there
Denkyira controlled what forts ? Do you know the history of Elmina and Cape Coast? Denkyira came to meet them. Even the land they are staying on at Jukwa was given to them by Oguaa. All the castle money were paid to Oguaa and Eguafo kings respectively. After the Dutch defeated the Eguafo and the Portuguese, Elmina castle fell under Dutch control. Fantes were enemies with the Dutch so the Dutch paid ground rents to Ashanti because they traded with them. Elmina fell under Dutch control. The only castle rent that was being paid to Ashanti was Elmina. Cape Coast castle has always been paid to Oguaa. Oguaa and Eguafo have been on the coast for about 1000 years.

The name Atwima was given to them after settling at Asanteman mu. There was no Atwima as this man is claiming, Asante is just like Israel ruled by Egyptians, the only difference is the Asante's fought for their freedom, while Israel were led out of Egypt by divine intervention but later fought to occupy lands. What happened before Berima Kofi Osei left Denkyira will be soon known to the public. He never impregnated anyone. Do you know one Nkawie Hene went back to Denkyira to rule them as Denkyira Hene?
So Ashantis have nothing 😂 no wonder they want to celebrate Akwasisae every 40 days, because they have no festivals 🤣🤣🤣
Nice to hear. But most of all these (Denkyiras) have even mingle with the Asantes through settlements and now see themselves as Asantes. I for one, I'm an example.
0244933944. You can call, do you have any of your grandfather's who I can interview in connection of the nkawie lineage. I was thinking of interviewing Formal president but would not mind if you suggest any one who I can interview thanks
@@studio502tvgh Sorry, that's from my mother's line and my grannies on that line are passed away. Maybe one of my uncles who's by name Bua Ampons3m can help. But it's so sorry I don't have his contact since I'm outside Ghana. Maybe upon my return, I will contact him on that. I grew up in my Dad's family.
Ansa Sasraku was the king of Akwamu and not Denkyira

@@agona-piesieabankesieso7539 okay
The guy should stick to his day job, and leave the History to those who know. Totally misrepresented, on both the founding of Dankyira; and the founding of Asante. ASANTE DE I am AGONA ABUSUA, FEATED DANKYIRA. PERIOD. The Kwadwo Tibo story is misrepresented.
Wow

who defeated please go and learn the history well and ask why Asante king dose not cross river Pra.

Lol you fought for your freedom 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@emmanuelfosu2331 lol you fought for your freedom rather 🤣🤣🤣 if you claim you you defeated us why are we not part of your Kingdom siaaa man
When you king is captured is considered defeated ... so he is not beating around. But he want u to know the truth. That's all
Stop lying about Osei Tutu cos y'all tryna kill him n He flee away with Awawani Anokye
Master stop that nonsense you have been defeated by the Asante.
Asante defeated every kingdom on the world 🌎. They fought every kingdom and defeated 🤴 everyone in Ghana 🇬🇭. Ghana is Asante and Asante and Asante is Ghana 🇬🇭.
Adanse rule denkyira before you also them
So you are tell me whatever Asante knows from Denkyira cos we used to come n served there but what about yall came n stay in Bono for 100 yrs.it means whatever y'all knew were from Bono ryt smh.stop the hate cos Denkyira people are not everywhere but Asantes are facks
Massa, you are not from Mesopotamia or Egypt. Cut that crap and stop making a fool of yourself. All Akans originated from the Congo basin.
What do you know about world history? Akans are the Ancient Arkadians from Mesopotamia. We moved to Babylonia to Carthage and Ghana Empire. ua-cam.com/video/GVaoA6UCdU0/v-deo.html
Is history time so learn well pls.....is not true, ok
It doesn't cost anything to be truthful. This guy is going in circles trying to lie about history. Ntim Gyakari was captured and killed by the Ashantis during the battle of Feyiase. Go back and learn your history lesson well.
but what did he say. foolish man like u. next time listen very well b4 u comment. he said all his soldiers deserted him and he was captured by the Ashanti's. Ur face like a fool.....
Who are you to tell him to go and learn.... he wants you to know the truth. If your king is captured and killed you are considered defeated ....but he wants you to know the truth.
I believe the man is speaking the truth from the ancients before the foundation of Ashante...I tell you
@@johnsonkarim1990 my response to the speaker was about the defeat meted to the Denkyira's during the Feyiase battle.
Hahaha , that's what will benefit you and favor your kingdom ,so leave others alone and let them share their views or tell what they know pls.........
Stop your SILLY JOKES and your Big LIES.
What do you know? Tell us and stop the insult pls......because is history time.
