- It is now common knowledge that Ghanaians discovered and came to settle here in west Africa.The mystery has always been, from where we came.
Lawyer / Historian Yaw Anokye Frimpong takes us through the Akan Ghana exodus.
Lawyer Yaw Frimpong Anokye should be given the National platforms to educate we the youth about our history and way forward
No!!! he has said a lot of untrue things. Read and do your own research so that you can compare. Don't just believe what he has said.
Do read our history books written by professor Adu Boahen and JB Dankwa all he is most are alr3ady written.
More over do an expansive research you will come across that when the Akandifuo man (ghana now)first settled from their historical journey they first settled at present day Dormaa Ahenkro which there is a historical symbol of three pieces of burnt logs which is a remain burnt logs that the fore fathers wisely left it as landmark to prove that they are all one clan and this place is thier first most settlement before they spread across the vast land.thats the true story o wonder why he shifted the facts to Takyiman
@@smileylady485 either tell us the facts he's distorting, recommend books and other resources that has those facts, or keep mum. You don't just throw this in the air and leave it at that.
@@smileylady485 You're the kind of people who have difficulty in hearing and in understanding. For you whatever youbhear is an equation to something instead of relation to something... When someone gives a mild but succinct historical account with few insignificant inaccuracies (as he is not readying from a 10000 pages book as you would want him do) you don't just attack the person antagonistically, but with all patience, write some of the things you believe were different from what he said. That way people on this platform may also pass comments to either explain or help you with likely sources lawyer Anokye may have used.
I think when we keep an open mind, when someone loosely gives concise historical account in twi in an entertaining style to draw our attention, it should rather encourage us to learn more. Besides, Lawyer Anokye as open as he is, is not afraid of correction if you come with a more credible source of records than what he already have. Lawyer is not like one of those tribalism historians we have known of the past who ignored all written and factual oral accounts to write their own history just to glorify their tribes - thank God those backfired.
@@davidprempeh8998 your statement presupposes that records of aduboahene and Danquah are the only akan history records. On the contrary, Aduboahene had to revise some of his writings due to thebbacklash he received. That should tell you something, that some of the details of their writings were completely wrong... The misconception usually arises when "akanism/bonoism" is only seen in the light of "twism" when in fact twism was rather acquired later on upon several settlements.
Dormaa is a newer settlement compared to techiman etc those are some of the few things aduboahene and co either ignorantly or deliberately ignored because of "twism".
Takyiman gave birth to the great people we have now. Its good there's no contradiction. What an unbiased history. Ayekoo to Law Yaw Anokye Frimpong.
This great man should help movie writters to create a historically movie from this history..
And it should be a MUST WATCH movie for every Ghanaians. Greatest enlightenment ever.
We busy fighting for jollof rice lol
Am even speechless this is what we need in our schools as history not the one Akwasi broni has brought to us. Long live Mr Anokye Ghana needs you ❤❤
Akans are all Bono's and departed to various Regs to form different Akan tribes
Akuapem language is 75% Bono, Nfante is 35% Bono
I cant stop listening to this man. I intentionally buy data to listen to him. Wao! What a gift to Ghana.
I can listen to him the whole day
He should create his own podcast
Eiii I have no knowledge about what this lawyer emeritus Frimpong is saying … he deserves Professor emeritus ❤
The man should be given national medal 🎉❤
An Akan medal not a national medal, he is a tribal bigot historian.
This man is a reincarnated soul
Amazing! So dormaa hene has always right all along..
I'm shocked self master Frimpong you deserve to be celebrated as one of our greatest treasure 💖💖💖.
More love 💖💖
Always an exciting conversation with Opayin Anokye Frimpong.
This man is helping is learn our history. He has to be given national platform to educate the nation. We should leave politics out of this if we believe in democracy. He deserve this.
I don’t mind listening to this man for the whole day.. wowww please kindly interview this great man again. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🙌🙌
Thinking of relocating back home to understudy him. Though I never read history at any level, my love and appetite for history now is unmeasurable. Courtesy this noble and learned lawyer
Lawyer should tell the interviewer that the name Ghana already existed over there to Make it easier. That's ancient Ghana empire. Kudos chief Historian ❤🎉
HISTORY AT ITS BEST. WELL DONE, MR ANOKYE. THE GUANS AND AKANS CLARIFICATION THRILLS ME. THE GUANS ARE ALSO AKANS SIMPLY PUT. GOOD LECTURE THOUGH.
My goodness! I could listen to him all day! Wow! We must learn our history oh! 😊
this is beautiful . i wish we could put it into writing for studies .
This man should write a book if he hasn’t yet. It’ll be instrumental in the development of this current Ghanaian generation and subsequent generations.
Lawyer is a well researched Lawyer and historian
Great Thanks for letting us know our History,,out off politics Ghana is peaceful
Lawyer Anokye you're doing very well for this country. God bless you
Excellent History class
I've been working on some huge historical projects like this to reference African history, especially the ancient Ghana empire. It's almost done but lacks such facts. It's bigger and more complicated than I can comprehend but I've been looking for this to enrich the story. Love ❤️ this
Thank you so much for this education. We have forgotten our history. It’s Sad
This is great masterpiece. Kudos great historian.
WOW I enjoyed this history so much. I hope this could be taught in the the high schools. Great job prof.
Great historian, truly the man is a learned person. Thanks for educating us sir 😅
This is just what I was looking for.🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
I wish I could hear more about
J.B. Danquah.
I enjoyed listening to your enthusiastic voice and I'm really inspired by your exceptional presentation. Very educative!
Deep insight
you need deep knowledge in our history to understand him😊
So interesting. Thanks Lawyer and host.
Im learning everyday from mr.Anokye
Great history, and very understanding
I love this lawyer
Wow… this is so amazing and thank you !
Very enlighrening❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is an eye opener but can you please take us through our Hebrew connection
Very exciting narration!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow wow I clap for this man
You have spoken it all, Lawyer
What you have said concerning Bono and other is the real truth
We want more of the northern tribes too.
He won't know much about that. It's the Northerners themselves who knows.
@@baerkaabnaab2388He talked about the Ewes and the Guans. He will know about the northern tribes too. He wasn't asked, that's why
I like this history. And this professor did well telling the History. My mom told me almost the same history she got it from her grandmother who died in 1960 at the age of 104. But the professor forgot to mention that It was the Dagbon/Dagomba tribe who welcomed we the Akans on their land. Takyiman, Nkoranza, Kintampo, and some small areas in Bono land today used to belong to the Dagombas and other Northern tribes..they are the first people to settle in Modern Ghana.
It's it rather the Gonja ?
@@DanladiAnagi-td1lj don't know but dagbon/Dagomba/mossi and others kingdom stretches from all north all the way to present day Burkina
@@kofiarthur3749Bukina capital wagadougou was the capital of the ancient Ghana empire Wagadu present day wagadougou
Please have him come back to teach about the Akan clans and totems.
I love this history
wao powerful ....
Very great man
Please can you kindly let Lawyer gives us history about when Christianity was brought to our land because this shows Christianity even came after the white came abd settled here. Thank you
This man must start organizing seminars for our leaders.
Long live law FRIMPONG ❤
The first established Akan state was at Bonomanso.
Yes. But he did not talk about the first akan state. Try to distinguish between state and town/village/city (sub-state)... He skipped a lot of things to establish the purpose of the programme. He can't sit in one piece to talk about everything before he establishes "the origin of Ghana". The state was Bonomanso/Bonomanlezo encompassing geolocation in present day Cote D'Ivoire and Ghana. Bonomanso was not just a town but a state (some Guan settlements inclusive). The Actual seat of the bonoman government was initially unknown, but now established to have been finally moved to Techiman (around the geolocation of present day Techiman). So if we can't exactly pinpoint the initial seat of bonoman rulership but we now know exactly where the rulers settled before the complete scattering of the people (primarily due to the Soninke/Mande attacks) then Mr Anokye could use Techiman (the only bonoman seat of government known) for the purpose of the discussion without necessarily mentioning the Bonoman state.
I'm speechless. I've learnt so much in less than an hour. Does he write books?
Very insightful, however I’m curious to know how all the different dialects came about! Soo many them.
Let my try to help...
Like he explained, the akan language is typically symbolic and its construction is based on available visuals and historical pattern. Since our ancestors have been constantly migrating and mixing cultures at different points in time with different people, the way they pronounce words tend to change by location which brought about the slight difference in tongues.
One of the best ways to learn our typical ancient language is to listen to old proverbs, folklore and traditional songs like the Nwomkro.
In addition, the Gods, (Abosssom) and spirits also teach us different lost words and songs when they descend on their Priests (Akɔmfoɔ), so listening to them carefully and learning the meanings from the Akyeame will increase your local language vocabulary.
In conclusion, the akan language is intuitive and one become well versed when they practice the traditional rituals that comes with it, at least this is my personal experience. Thanks
I like your explanation. Thank you. @@Busumuru24
This message is real
That why my father always shaved his beard! 🥰🥰🥰
Very insightful, I think he forgot to mention the Akyems and how they ended up in Akyem Abuakwa, Kotoku, and Bosome.
I enjoyed his teachings. May God bless you for sharing this important knowledge with us.
Hahaha because he new the Akyems are from the Ashantis as the Kwahus. The Akans are made of clans. If you know your clan precisely you know where you migrated from the Adansi or Mampong areas.
Akyem were arresters...He explained.
@@jwills3347 please go read your history and know your Akan clan.
@@johnnydarren8444That is actually not true. Akyeam or Okyeam are from the Adansi. The technocrats in Bono. They became one of the first groups to break off from Bono. Okyeam-fight or strong like the tiger. That's why they have the tiger on their crest. They're also one of the tribes that defeat Asantes😊
@@Godkid-jon1 hahaha funny person, where is Adansi in Ghana. Go to your Google map and see Ghana maps, all you know is Bono rubbish. You think Ashanti region is only Kumasi. Mumu person.
The Akans, guans and all came to meet the DIKANTI people. Been here since 5000bc.
Really
Tell us more about them please?
Where are the dikanti people now please
Not true
This host needs to slow down a bit and allow the host to flow before making his numerous interjections.
Guans include Gonja, Larteh, Akuapem, Effutu, Awutu, Senya Breku, Fante Borbor, Assin Andoe, Nkonya, Assin Bosomadwe etc.
Borbor Fante is Tekyiman, it the non borbor who have Guan blood
He didn’t talk about how the Akyem got their tribe name..
Dennis u are right
Thank you so much for bringing the nam Kotoka lnternational Airport .
This is an insult to Ghana just like Gold Coast. I think about this always.
Let us Mobilise the nationals and take away this name. The Airport Must be called KWAME Nkrumah International Airport KNIA.
The memory of the righteous shall be a blessing……looking back and the present is Kotoka a righteous one.CIA operator? Am not alon in this thinking I believe
Pls 🙏 🙏 🙏
Tell Dr Lawyer Anokye Frimpong, to use the same CPP if he change the name &symbol, ghs should not recognise him and Dr Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
We have such intelligent ones and we vote criminals who couldn't speak well to lead us as president.
We thank the professor for his great knowledge in African history, but he has to clarify the point that they all moved from old Ghana/Mali came as one people with the same culture .ie Language ,folklore ,food , clothing etc were the same. It is here their Newfound land that they became divided under different names. What about the language they speak ?What brought about the differences even though the language is similar in speaking.
I thought Goan's where the first settlers in Ghana....i can be corrected though... thanks
He said they were the first.
The Bono Empire, according to historical records, was established in the 11th century, while Mansa Musa’s empire emerged later, in the 13th century. Lawyer, please thoroughly verify the facts about them chasing the Akan people on horseback to the region that is now Ghana.
Kofi ask Evelyn Warlson Annan
She will tell you where Alan’s are from
What a history but I Want to ask him that, the Onyankop) our father's were saying is it the same as God of Israel.
Great
I think i just listened to the history of Akans and not Ghana. Change the title.
The ewes from Togo Notsé is not a twi name, is the name of their room king he’s the one rules the people and king agokoli was the war leader or hunter.
Exactly!!!! i was surprised at him.
He referenced the fact that some traditional account claims what he said, and he went further to give explanation... So that bit is not his notion but what he has gathered from those areas. It may not be factual but that is what he has gathered as a historian. If you had given the meaning of the word "Notsé" then that could shed more light on the matter.
He didn’t ascertain that….he didn’t make that a fact but acclaimed
This is only akan history
I like the hand shake 😂😂😂
"Bono" means original or first.
Please what about wangara people's
Am even lost I did not no that am part of Bono Man us Twi nee. Wow I like this history I have learn a lot, krotwea mansa is Mali people 😂😂😂😂
Something is not making sense here, if we were Akans, how the did we become Bono?, again, Techiman was founded after Asante and Bono war of which the people of Bono scattered and later came back to found Techiman, so it’s wrong to say all Akans comes from Techiman.
He was giving a succinct account, so there was no need to go into the deep details...He however gave a hint that the word bono means the same as akan by stating that bono means "piesie" (the first, primus, pioneer, the apex etc) the same is the meaning of akan (except that the term akan if carefully researched was used by the twifo in lieu de bono).
So the word bono and akan are interchangeable but because we still have presently a group of people called bono (as a modern distinct group of the old Bono/akan)) that is why he is narrating it that way.
So when you say bono you are actually saying akan (but a twifo style) in reality... But in our modern parlance akan become the superset whilst bono becomes a subset - as bono is now a distinct ethnic group among all those who would have been called BONO in the olden days (but are now collectively called AKAN).
In other terms, what he is saying make sense as he is narrating it to be understood based on present indicatives of the various akan ethnic groups.
Our great grandfather who we all came from is called Akan when we were in Mesopotamia, during the Ghana Mali war our brothers who first left to settle in Techimam was given the name Bono meaning first
Bono is is about 300 to 500 years older than Asante, Asante is not a tribe , it's a warring group formed from our brothers who migrated from Bono Techimam to settle in other lands of now Ghana
I taught kumawu and Kumasi was named according to survival of trees planted.
Bra,he need more time good job 👏
Eeiii I learnt from else where that Ahanta's got their name after crossing the River Pra. They dried themselves and so were called "those drying their bodies" ie. "Ahantafo "
N. Y Anokye: W’abɔn!
I didn't hear about the akyem
J. B Danish did the research on the name Ghana.
Guess the man didn't understand the question before responding. We're talking of ancient history and you're talking of Empire
Thank you lawyer, you did not comment on how (Akyem) came about.
The host was more interested in his Asante and prevented him from mentioning Akyem
😂😂😂😂😂@@Godkid-jon1
How did the Wassa get their name. I mean the etymology of the word wassa
I'm a Ghanaian but i don't understand what he's saying. wish it was English
Our historian doing in so many ways but he uncovered himself as an nkrumaist there he is putting aside the great hustorians before him such professer Adu boahen and JB Dankwa .it is these two credible historians who were to tell us the word Akan.and how it was originated. The full meaning of the word Akan is Akandifuo which he got right .the ancient original name of ghana is not ghana as he claims .The ancient name is known as Akan man.or akandifuo.when the arabs conqured the territory through Islamic expansion ,because the couldn't pronounce the akandifuo properly they chose record the akandifuo in the own dialect as Akani in the scripts. Then English too change the Akani to sounds more English for them that's how we have the name ghana now.any one interested in this information should The historian Adu Boahen and JB Dankwa
The original ghana empire is present day Mauritania 🇲🇷 we were under the mali empire under Mansa musa, before that we were kyina which is present day Israel
After all, Asante is a subset of Bono. I see
Asante is a knew kid on the block comprised of all Akan and non Akan tribes that came from old Ghana empire. They rather unified all Akans into kingdom.
@@myztroogeegibson3568Not all the Akans but almost, and it doesn't mean Akan is under Dormaa
Ga/Adanbge came from Nigeria and before that like most west African nations migrated from central and Easter Africa
Abrantie
Then how comes the Ashanti's don't respect bono people?
Who does not respect who? It is some Bono's who always want to have problems with Asantes, Asantes are living with all other tribes without even listening to where you are from. Do not be deceived
But this is distorted because the Sonnike of the SAHEL culture doesn't match anything with Akans of the West Africa.
Listen well ooh
They were a subset.. Not entire. It matches well with some tribes in Senegal as well
Soninke were the rulers of the old Ghana empire.
As for the jama yaka that turned into Jamaica; its quite debatable
Please Gana was a title name for their king not a state it's means warlord
For outsiders called it Ghana empire. It was known as wagadou just like ancient Egypt was known as Kemet/Mizraim or lower nubia as like Ethiopia was known as Aksum then but adopted the name in mordern day.
All the Akans have the similar names,
This country call ghana is something else!a small country and everyday so so stories as if we die we will take the country to our grave
They never taught us in school
