Your first question is not true,, I mean how can you say Northerners made Ashantis tall but not Akans?? I mean Ashantis are part of the Akan group and are made up of people from every Akan sub-group. Meaning an Ashanti who is from Oyoko) clean is related by blood with Akan in Akyim, Bono or Kwawu, etc.
So to say Northerners made Ashanti's tall just doesn't make sense because Akans are all related by blood hence there is no way one subgroup which is also made up of many subgroups is the shortest among its brothers and sisters, it just doesn't make sense.
You should rather say Akans are not tall and that's true. But the truth is that "SOME" Ashanti indeed married their servants and had kids with them. Akans are naturally not so tall and Ashanti being a military state sought to interbred with people from the North so they can have huge physical bodies to fight and win future wars.
Nous ne sommes pas vendu comme vous, nous sommes fiers de nos coutumes
Recently found out that my 3x great-grandfather was a Ga man named Addo.
I'm now on a journey to learn more about my ancestral heritage and the ethnic groups from which I come, their cultures, their customs, and what I can take from them all and incorporate into my life moving forward.
I’m late to the party, but as an American diasporan, I appreciate not knowing the difference between the tribes as yet. On the surface, I just see one people. It doesn’t matter to me what tribe or ethnic group one belongs, as I see one, I see myself. You’re all beautiful to me.
Thank you☺️. You’re never too late
❤🖤💚
I disagree with the Ga boy,who said that the mother didn't want him to marry Ewe woman, because Gas and EWES are more connected than any other tribe in Ghana,because the two tribes together till nowadays, you can trace their roots from Ghana,Togo, Benin and Nigeria
This Ga guy is very intelligent
Ghanaians are very attractive.
Yes they are. Thank you.
Thank you for the compliments.
Yeah Tribalism can be eradicated and it is about time we the Ghanaians see ourselves as one people and got rid of the tribal system.
In 2022 I see a ray of hope for our Nation because we are even marrying off white and people of other races out there.
The last prompt made me sad to see that those who've been discriminated against don't believe tribalism will ever be eradicated. We really should love more as a people. If people outside our race will discriminate against us, we shouldn't be the ones to do this to our own people. It is just sad.
well said
Well said in 2022.
Tribalism is not a bad thing. The negative connotation implies a need for healthy cultural competition.
Unfortunately, I think this is human nature and every country does this to their own people.
I don't know where the Ewe guy comes from? But I know ewe people in Ghana suffer the most discrimination even more than Northerners
Is not turth
I can relate paaa, even as an Ewe, doing well in school is an issue, people will relate your intelligence to vodoo, we Africans erh
because of Rawlings
All these groups are subgroups, the only main group is Ewe. Ewes have subgroups just like Akans, Guans, Ga-adange etc....
Why are Ewes being lumped as one group smh
@@adjeikuffor4467 coming from the Akan man smh
I enjoyed this discussion. Im Ashanti and i learned something new. Im going to start a lifestyle blog to unite us Ghanaian tribes more, and even unite all Africans more
Ewe ladies are very pretty ❤❤❤❤
Ghanaians are really 👌 united
so proud of us.
I am happy that the younger ones are willing to be less tribalistic in their outlook and their systems.
we are very grateful and also for the conscious steps to making the difference
I sometimes find such topics difficult to digest.
A northerner who grew up in Takoradi will have more Takoradi socialization. Just like an Ewe who grew up in Chorkor. The fact that someone has certain parentage doesn't mean socially, he or she is from that place.
I know lots of people who hail from different parts of Ghana 🇬🇭, who have never been to their hometowns, some can't speak their languages so how can they speak for those who have the correct socialization and upbringing?✌️✌️
so much truth in your point.
It can be eradicated if our leaders place sanctions and punish those who discriminate against other tribes
I think is high time Ghanaian’s start to see Ewe in different perspective than this JUJU thing, a tribe been intelligent doesn’t apply vodo because there’s a lot of tribe in Ghana those are into JUJU than Ewe’s tweeeeaaa
Say that again dear❤❤❤
Am krobo and proud.
😊 why shouldn’t u ❤️But firstly u are Ghanaian ok 🇬🇭
Practically, tribalism is shrinking in Ghana......
we are grateful for this achievement and the continuous effort to making the difference together
Yes I agree with you, if you compare it to 10 years ago you could see that indeed it is shrinking.
Krobos are literally beautiful 😍🤧
Ga-Adangbe is a semitic tribe from middle East Region
yes, they are
really!!
@@joevoidable7549 yh
@@jamaal01 nope they are not.
Somalis,Eritreans Ethiopians, Djibouti they are the afroAsiatic. Ga Adangmes don't have any similar features.
@@joevoidable7549 they have
But due to inter mixing with other tribes
They lost all that features
Interesting. For a Nigerian on the outside looking in ..it is interesting to know these nuiances
Yes there are
I agree. Very informative. I will also stay away from the oldest man in Ewe villages. You know, for safety 😅 just kidding lol
@@seismicvertigo345 Do not let people come for you lol.
@@chimakalu41 Hahaha... I am not in Ghana. I made my comment from a safe distance
@@seismicvertigo345 lol. You are from Ghana?
What a content!!! Thanks 🙏
Thank you for watching
They all speak good englishh👏🏽
I think it's a ghanaian thing, right?
Oh my goodness, the northerner guy is so handsome 🤩. Is he single?? Asking for a friend 🤣
Why would tribology not advance each group of peoples? I find it annoying that authentic Ghanaian races are not easily identified by tribalistic transactions throughout places like the Americas yet knock-off versions of our faiths can be openly flaunted by Europeans.
Even this interview seems strange in that no one chooses to commit to speak their language.
I disagree with the guys is not every Ewe home not true. All tribes in Ghana have black magic.
The Ashanti lie was swallowed without any argument from anyone. Short people conquered the tall people from the north and made them slaves? Ei 🤔
😂😂😂😂😂
@@VOIICENetwork edey shock me too. Like how?
I am not Ghanaian. All I know is I was reading a book from the 1800s that mentioned that the King of Ashanti had slaves that were Hausa, I don't know if they were true Hausa or just spoke the language. You see, the problem is we don't prioritize our own histories. We prefer colonial stuff..
Bro Ahantis wanted to overcome and take control of every place and people in Ghana. Even how many times did the whites fought them but couldn't win them and then they have to bring in people from different countries like Nigeria, Burkina etc. to help them fight Ashanits before they could win. Think 🤔
Hahahaha.
War is not about individual height, but organized, trained and decipline army with effective leadership and experience in battle. So don't be surprised. Asante Empire was a military might in the region except the Akyems opposed them and stood in their way because they didn't want to be their subject, they could have conquered the whole Ghana and beyond.
Northerners are responsible for tall Asante.
Nope. Do you know northerner too have their short people. I have lived there for many years and schooled with some. That is a stereotype. Ghanaians think everyone whose is from the north must be tall, that is a lie
@@oforiwaaakosa2489 they have short people too but naturally most of them are tall
@@njrstudio655 it doesn’t mean they’re responsible for all tall ppl among the Asantes
@@oforiwaaakosa2489 imagine saying same about the Chinese. I guess the tallest Chinese man was made by an outsider
Krobos are beautiful
i was suspicious of th akyem girl until she mentioned her moms bias against asantes. then i knew she was true akyem
LOL
why
Exactly, they are jealous of Asantes even though we are brothers and sisters 😅They wish the Okyehene can command same clout as Oyr Asantehene but no one gives a sxxx about him😅
I'm not sure it is because of jealousy of anything. I think there is this differences in ideologies and personality traits between these two groups. Most Akyems talk law whilst Most Asantes talk might. Most Akyems are patient, litigants, independent and straightforward and dislike intimidation whilst most Asantes are dynamic, not too direct, live by their own rules and want dominance. So whenever this two Akan group meet, they get clash in many things. But they are very friendly to each other and inter-marry too. It's what it's. But all Ghanaians are one and the youth must understand this for building futures.
I think Voice Network should have brought the prompt "Northerners are huge down there" AGREE or DISAGREE. Any Notherner here?
You've not tried some Akans yet.
Good info. lol
good to know hahaha.
Desperately want to date one
@@barbaragyan139 are u akan.
I hate the Idea of" Iradication" Tribalism isn't a thing. It's our history. To even imagine this is going on in GHANA OF ALL PLACES WHEN THEY BASICALLY HATE US EVERYWHERE!!!❤ I'm gonna LOVE EVERY GHANIAN AND EVERY SINGLE TRIBE!!!!! YES I'M AFRICAN-AMERICAN.YES !!! I KNOW MY TRIBE AND LINEAGE AND IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!! IF OUR BROTHERS & SISTERS THERE DON'T HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE FOR US TO TRACE OUR ROOTS HOW WILL WE EVER KNOW THE GREATNESS HIDDEN WITHIN!!!!! YES I'M BLESSED ENOUGH TO HAVE LINEAGE HERE AND THERE!!!! BUT IT ALL TRACES BACK THERE!!!! WHY ARE THEY STILL ROBBING THEE RICHEST CONTINENT PRETENDING IT'S POOR BECAUSE EVERY OTHER SAD MISERABLE SORRY EUROPEAN COUNTRY IS STILL ACTIVELY STEALING PEOPLE AND PRECIOUS STONES AND MINERALS...... but... I digress. Love n Light!!!! 💋 😘
I agree, and I agree with the Dagoa man from the video. This ethnicites are our African context.
In Akans marriage some familys protect the royal family like girls because of to becam a chief
Ethnic groups are not Tribes, your understanding of English naming Afrika Ethnic groups as Tribes is completely limited
You forgot nzemas and ahantas
Our young men and women these days are really straws. The future is really bleak.
Well thanks
Hmmmm I have to ask you guys this,I'm fantse but in my whole life(27yrs in ghana).I have seen one one krobo lady in my life
Interesting
They say Ga men wear nappies is dat true
This is false promiscuity cuts across every where, how powerful is he to make his powers work, he claim he is going to bring cure for death and did he come back, so if he is that powerful to curse krobos why is he not back with cure for death.
discrimination among your own fellow people, very interesting.
Good morning
Good morning
It’s true but me ano de give a damn!!The time has come to Change that dumb mentality!!!We are all Ghanaians.Choose based on how attractive and how u like their personality etc!!!
How determined and goal driven person also count!!!
Yaayyyy💃💃💃
Why can't you guys can't talk about topics that can build up rather than topics that can mess up. Unite because its not funny.
It’s really sad you don’t see what we are trying to impact by addressing disparities instead of seeking the silence in our assumed homogeneity. The fact that you see addressing the issues as an attack instead of strife to be united unfortunately is the reason why tribalism has lurked this long in Ghana.
Korobo women are pretty
My first boyfriend is ga and OMG😂 The worst 😂
Are u GA?.
Ewe girls dey b roff!! Howcome there were no ewe girls on here?
Pls lets stop the use of Tribe to describe ourselves is a very harsh word .We are in Ethnic groups not tribes.lts very uncomfortable to use such word
Yes oo, I shock sef😊
Greetings 🤗
Greetings to you 🤗
It's never true it's false story about krobo girls
Pride in black magic?😹💔
Not because one krobo woman love sex meaning all krobos love sex 🥲🥲stop spoiling our names
What's wrong with the love of sex ?
So AKANS DONT LIKE Akans
We were surprised too
The Aluworks guy shared the most uneducated opinion
