This man is awesome - I just started watching these interviews with him. Bravo Lawyer, I love history and you bring it to life for me. I have great respect for you!
Real recognize real. You know truth once u hear it. Goosebumps all over, especially about the lady that supported Nkrumah. I need me a Naa Dede Adjeley
From Kush straight to Canaan (Palestinian- Israel region). Later moved to Egypt, then traveled down the Nile to Ile Ife , Benin , Togo, Volta region, all the way to the current location...Ga Adangbe are of the priestly tribe of Gad, Levi and Dan.. They're ruled by high priest but later changed to kingship but under normal circumstances they are supposed to be ruled by their high priests/ Wulomo...They're not concerned about worldly stuff and inheriting properties...they are community/ family centred...it a character they inherited from their leader Ayi Kushi's teachings...friendly, unselfish and love people regardless of their backgrounds...Some of them possess Akan names like Osei, Offei , Ababio etc....Omaye ablawo!!
Great points! My research about the Israel tribes show that the Ga's are from the Tribe of Benjamin, like Apostle Paul, King Saul, and his general Abner etc. They are brilliant Warriors and fearless fighters! In Israel, the tribe of Benjamin were one of the fiercest warriors. In the book of Judges, they defeated all the tribes of Israel in a battle when they rebelled against them until God showed how they could be defeated. Great military generals have emerged from Gas, General Odartey Wellington, General Kotei etc. Ga's have always produced fine Snr military officers and leaders! They are zealous like Apostle Paul, who none of the disciples could stand because of his zeal for the gospel of Christ. Apostle Paul fearlessly took the gospel to all the cities of the world. He was beaten, imprisoned and ship wrecked but he went back again and again, becaus of his zeal! That is the quality of the tribe of Benjamine = Ga's which you cannot take from them. There is a reason God picked a Ga' man to send the gospel to the whole world.
Lawyer Frimpong is on point but I disagree with where he said we don’t believe in one God. Yes we do believe in God called Mawu (Ataa- Naa Nyonmor. Ataa because HE has the strength of father and Naa because of love of mother) . We do have other deities which we call them as Jemawoji (Angels) and they are intermediaries between God and us just as Christians believe in Jesus Chris or the Angels . We don’t worship any God apart from Ataa Naa Nyonmor . In Kpele cult we say “wɔtsu wor.. we are sending deities)
@@BORKETEYIIWhy don’t you invite a GA to come and tell Ga history with your name l think you are a GA from Nungua there’s a lot historical people at Nungua
Kpanlogo and Gomey are some of the Ga drum beats and rhythms. Point of correction, Azumah Nelson is not a Ga Man. He is a Northerner. Azuma is the name given to all friday borns among the Kusasi people in the North
Finally, you made it clear that it was the oalition forces including Hausa,Fantes Akyem etc that fought and defeated small Asante expeditionary force that excorted the King in south
Asante army was a combined forces of the 7 states of Asante Kingdom, entire northerners, Bono, Wassa, Akwamu etc. These war are between Asante Vs Akyem and their allies. People should know this.
Lawyer Frimpong is a national treasure. The nation should make sure that he does not leave this earth with all the knowledge. He should be given a faculty to head at University of Ghana.
Also the Ga people have always believed in one God whom they call Ataa Naa Nyomor. It was later that some few Ga people began to mimic the Ashanti's by bringing in the Otigali worship. But even that didn't take root. As a young girl when I was growing up a day before homowo my grandmother will ask us all to go to bed early and before going to bed all the doors posts will be maked with red clay as iconic representation to symbolise the Passover as stipulated in the Bible. I witnessed my grandmother and the rest of our relatives using hyssop for purification ritual the same way as in the Bible. History is better told by the people themselves. It is better coming from the horses own mouth. Having said that he has done his best to enlighten some people . Thanks
yes u r right ..but that akan historian said some untrue talks about us ..that is why WE Ga"s must stand up for ourselves and tell the world about OURSELVES otherwise others who r not Ga's will feed wrong info tp the world saying we dbelieve only in deities..that made me mad ...
Some disagreement in the comment which i think is normal but we should understand that our history needs to be opened up for true healing to begun. We keep pretending that we are one people but we cannot be comfortable enough to hear our history. Europe went through similar changes and they are TH-cam videos that shows the extent to which lands changed hands. Its common for one ethnic group to dominate and if you research Europe or another country you see same. Uk is one example where English dominates yet there are other languages recognised as well one being Welsh. I think Ghana needs to be deliberate about our history no matter how uncomfortable it is we needs to accept the power every tribe has, being angry about a past that you cannot charge is immature. In UK its in the history here that the Ashanti's system of rulership is the most civilised they found around their empire days because the British saw similarities. The point is any group of people that rally around common cause will undoubtedly be strong, the Gas coming together with others to defeat the Ashantis is the same principle, fight for one course. Ghana to be successful needs to understand where we have come from and unite to face today's challenges. Peace to Ghana
The Dodowa battle was an English plot to avenge the Battle of Nsamankow in the plains. Thanks for telling the truth about the coalition forces that defeated Asante. The Brits knew they could never defeat Asante in the forest. The Akatamanso War was the case study used for the Sagrenti War.
How I wish I had done this interview on history of the Ga tribe in English.We have been seeking to know from ghanians themselves if Ga really originated from Israel & what tribe in israel?
Who can narrate the Ga history better than a Ga? Yes I have listened to his narrative though he did his best to enlighten some people in a best way that he could, he didn't quite get it accurately enough. I will say fairly accurate. The Ga people totally beat the Ashanti people at the Katamanso war single handedly. The evidence is still there.
to the host and producer of this show ...i will advise u to interview a Ga historian not an akan historian ...we know our story better than any historian from other tribes . he said things that are not true about us ..tjank u
It is spiritual. Gas will always Humilate Ashantis. Remember the Cup Winners cup final match in Kumasi in 2005 when Hearts took the CUP? It was a spiritual replay of the Katamanso War. Ghana cannot succeed without Gas. Please see how Ghana is now without Gas. It is sad indeed.
@@shiii...ennnkasa6248 THEY ARE FACTS, NOT BITTERNESS. ASHANTIS DON'T HAVE GLORY. LOOK AT THE FACTS ON THE GROUND TODAY. GAS HAVE EVERYTHING, ASHANTIS HAVE NOTHING.
Akyem never served Asante pls make the needful correction. Asantes never fought and kill any Akyem chief but Akyem rather fought and killed Asantehene Osei Tutu 1.
Put things in correct perspective. Ga people don't have tradition that the husband and the wife lives should live separately. It is personal choice not based on Ga tradition. You are trying to enlighten people which is good but you haven't got quite correct. I am writing as a Ga.
You're speaking some lies, distortion, and seeding hatred in your teachings. First of all, it's a customary law for most Akans, especially we Asantes, to circumcise EVERY male born child, INCLUDING ROYALS, on the 8th day after birth. Not only the GA people. Secondly, nobody has oppressed GA people. In terms of government policies and developmental projects, of the major ethnic groups in Ghana, none has been played unfairly than the Asantes. We just don't cry about it. Comparing all the developments across the country, which people have had it better than the GAs and the people of Accra?
They are from Isreal. There is a HEBRAIC history and an Archaeological History. Kpokpoi is not unleavened bread and circumcision are not conclusive reasons for Jewish link. I blame lame journalists for not researching themselves leaving their ignorance on full public ridicule. Your Homowo story is not true either.
It’s not Jewish but Hebrew culture, Jewish never exist in ancient time, till letter j came into existence in 8to9 century, modern day Jewish holds big books print in the world,that’s where they got chance to change Hebrew Israelite to Jewish because they think we will not know our history.
Let this be known to everybody that the Ga-Dabgme's defeated the Ashantis blue-black at the Katamanso war. Those Asantes claiming Ga-Dangmes won the war because of the help of the British and nigerian soldiers are just hypocrites and funny.😂 Tell me just one war Asante's won without the alliance and help with other tribes? hypocrites ‼️Fast Forward: You guys came to the Katamanse war with Ewe,Dagomba, Mossi and other tribe soldiers. The Ga-Dangme's being smart and knowing how few they were, also formed alliance with Akyem, Akwapim, British, Nigeria Hausa and Fulanis soldiers to defeat you. What makes you think you can claim to have won wars against Denkyiras, Fante's but wants to deny the fact that Ga's also defeated you? You guys think you are smart ehh?. You won all your wars with the help of Ewes, Mossis and Dagomba soldiers so shut up. You were beaten by the Ga-Dangmes😂😂😂
Stop this immaturity and listen to history He hasn’t humiliated ASHANTIS anywhere and besides because he’s speaking good about gas, u are jealous? Stop the inferiority complex because ASHANTIS ain’t inferior! Today is Ga history and u better shut up and give them the respect they deserve! Well done Gas! A true tribe
Who sold the land to outsiders ? This man isn't well informed ! They sold the land themselves , Nkrumah compensated for every land he took from them . You ppl say anything without solid evidence . With any chance he gets he says bitter things about the Asante's . We bought the land from them , they can refuse in selling the land , nobody can do anything to them . Please stop lying to the citizens , you can never change history .

that is what will happen bcos we allow non Ga"s to tell OUR story

Asante army was a combined forces of the 7 states of Asante Kingdom, entire northerners, Bono, Wassa, Akwamu etc. These war are between Asante Vs Akyem and their allies. People should know this.

Going back to 70s Mr Frimpong reminds us of Osofo dadzin show classic in this era
“T)man” now Tema… the place where the fruit used for making Calabash was grown.
This man should be given a more lager platform to educate Ghanaians.
