The Asante warriors refused to be circumcised as was required in Islam because they believed that the blade shedding blood would weaken them. Mansa Musa took all of the gold on hajj and never brought it back. Musa declared that ALL of the inhabitants were going to be Muslim. The Akwapem were the group who left and travelled the Upper Volta and Niger River into what is now Ghana.. where they were acquainted and lived near Bonomen/Mossi. The migration was in waves.. If I’m wrong, please correct me.
I have a question for anyone who may know this. Are there physical features of someone belonging to the Ashanti tribe that could distinguish them? I ask this because I was approached on 2 different occasions by strangers that asked me if i was Ashanti. Both brothers who asked me this were from Africa but not from Ashanti. My eldest aunt used to always tell me that we were royalty from the Ashanti tribe, so these 2 encounters got me thinking about the validity of what my aunt always told me.
Are you short & have flattened forehead & flattened back head? Then perhaps, you fit the stereotype!!🤣 Check the image of the Asante king!! Typical asante features to a T!!😮

I Think The British Heard From The Very Old People Who Might Have Some Tooth Missing Pronounced The Name Asante/Asanti Which Sounded To The British Writer. My Perspective!
Why does he start your Asante history based on a European author's book researched and published around 1817? The elder seems to trust a European account more than their own oral historian/ griots.
"To my Ashante, the Pink flamingo with one foot down is coming, surprising no one, followed by the black camel, be warned. Seek refuge or flee." These words seem like nonsense to me, but I don't often dream words I've never heard before. It was a womans voice and she pronounced the end of the tribal name with a Teh and not tea. I'm looking for someone with a sore or broken right ankle.
Jewish circumcise a male child at eight days after birth also inherits paternal, the Ashanti’s or Akans inherits maternal also in our tradition we don’t circumcise, we are now doing it through Christianity, in fact in Akan tradition, you can not be a king or chief if your circumcised
This is in no way asante history. It is all based on hear say. If he wants to tell the true history of kotoko, he will have to go to Nananom and quit reading the white mans perspectives for cheap points.
It's best to get it directly from the kings, chiefs and adikrofo.... they are the true custodians of our side of the history.... if you are far from ghana, I will recommend any book from JB Danquah.... and also perhaps Opanin osei Kwadwo..... I have personally visited and interviewed Opanin Osei kwadwo and can confirm he tells a much more credible side of the story
@@asanteismyrealname you can actually find some interviews of opanin osei kwadwo on youtube.... my interview may not help because it's all in the local dialect. But there are a couple channels who interviews him in English
CORRECTION!! We were Esa nti fuo ....A people who have come together because of war !! The Asante Kingdom is a confederacy ...Esa nti fuo then became Asante fuo !!

Great history by great people of a great Kingdom. ✌❤
I respect what the Elder is saying and the history of the Asante people
Hello grandpa, where did the Asantes come from before Ghana.
Great History, sending Love from South Africa
Your beautiful people including the culture.
Thank you for these

We value peace and are strong worker

Ashantis were great in Jamaica Guyana and Suriname they successfully defeated the British and the Dutch
Liar. Ashantis were brutal slave hunters and were enslaving the negroes. Therefore what you're saying does not make any sense.
Asante sold fellow fellow akans and others in that gold Coast region

Cool video. Just that the Bétés are not Akans. Im Baoulé from Ivory Coast.

My maternal side 🙌🏾
Please I want to know if we talk about the Ashanti Sword are we referring to the Afrafena or the Okomfo Anokye sword
Jewish circumcise a male child at eight days after birth also inherits paternal, the Ashanti’s or Akans inherits maternal also in our tradition we don’t circumcise, we are now doing it through Christianity, in fact in Akan tradition, you can not be a king or chief if your circumcised
how can you talk about Asante Kingdom without mentioning Okomfo Anokye
Keep doing this, we are proud of you
The word Akan means 1st and Asante means Warriors! The Akan and Asante are the ancient Nubians!
That is agricultural custodians from that ethnic nation claim themselves.
They are a Kemetic peoples.
Yaa Abua Anani!
Ashanti were warriors like the zulus
Its sad that an Ansanti has to get his history from a European 😂!!!
No we have a lot of history form different people. This guy was correct tho and he learned it form my people probably
Cote d'Ivoire
He look like my pop pop lol

This is our history. A lot of things he said is true.
That is nonsense do your research
It’s not nonsense a lot of what he saying is true
IS ASHANTI A NATION? Smh
Is a kingdom
One of the 12 tribes of a nation
Yes, its a nation (kingdom) in country of Ghana.
Constitution of Ghana recognizes it.
yes it is
The name is not asantefo) but is asatefo)..Asate means those who hear war drums🤔🤔
CORRECTION!! We were Esa nti fuo ....A people who have come together because of war !! The Asante Kingdom is a confederacy ...Esa nti fuo then became Asante fuo !!
We need a proper history full story of our kingdom instead of this breaf one
?……Asa nte ."…….does it mean Because of War?
