We need to get this man to help writers to make movies and documentaries for us to preserve our history . We should be serious as a country in this regard . Great asset to the nation
Bro if you read history books of old, it more than game of thrones, it a pit you wouldn’t want to enter because you will never wish to return. I was reading history books when I should be learning advanced accounting for the exam next day.
ASANTE NKAI"Asante never took any people it conquered slave,but Asante added the conquered people as Asante and asked its people to see them as brothers and forget how they were conquered. That's how come the ASANTE NKAI
Great stuff. The Akwamu warriors (300 of them) that accompanied Osei Tutu were given to the Asafohene, the chief warlord of Kwaman at the time ( latter Kumasi), hence his name Akwamuhene. Anum Asamoah and his people became the police force (Abrafo) and were settled around the king to provide protection, and therefore the vicinity of Palace became known as Anum and later got corrupted to Adum.
Am talking of the festival It was akwamus but not akuapem because I haven't heard akuapem celebrate akwasidae but Awukudae for akuapem but akwamus celebrate akwasidae
This historian has abridged the history of the Denkyira war. Three paramount chiefs sacrificed themselves: Tweneboa Kodua allowed himself to be beheaded, Boahen Anantuo allowed himself to be buried alive, Diko Pim led the battle but never fired a gun; rather allowed himself to be shot and killed.
I think Lawyer is Akuapem man but He knows much history which I admire most from Gtv to max tv he made a great mark to me He deserves a massive attention... #ReallyAlegend
He always misses that point and I don't know why bcs he is so good, knowledgeable and humble. All other historians agree Asante started from Osei Tutu though the attempt or call to unite started with Obiri Yeboah
The heros -the chiefs who sacrificed their lives to help Ashantis to defeat Denkyiras should include Asenso kufu(Dwaben-dwumakaasehene)Nana Dikopem of Ejusohene,Nana Nantuo Boahen of Ashanti manpon and Nana Barima Boa kodwoa of Kwumawu and Amankwa whose body was put in the dug up in Fayiese please.
Obiri Yeboah was Kwaman hene not Asantehene Asante came after his death Dormaa never fought Asante,but Kwaman,won the first and lost the second So Dormaa wounded Obiri Yeboah and he died later. And Osei Tutu became Kwaman hene and killed Dormaa Kusi then chased them away and then formed Asante with other chiefs
Nana Obiri Yeboah never sat on the GOLDEN STOOL. Hence, he is not counted as an Ashanti King. Ashanti Kings began with the coming of the golden stool. Nana Osei Tutu is the first Ashanti King.
For the Asante nkae statement ,the explanation my matrilineal grandpa from barekese nkatia gave me was that. He stated that asantes are made up of different tribes of which some were servants but in history we don't teach someone's root or background, No one suppose to tell his fellow brother of not being pure Asante and so forth. Therefore we got that proverb saying Asante nkae Odeefuo.but is not Asante nkae.
It hurts i'm just watching this but i think Lawyer didnt do justice to the adage' Asante didi nso asante nkae....'... that is not the full adage, it is actually 'Asante didi wo ho nso Asante nkae wo nkyi' to wit 'Ashanti's benefit from you but will not trace your history or where you from (whoever you are , ashanti's want to know how you can help them, they dont care where you from)... as lawyer rightly said, Okomfo Anokye gave a stern warning to the Ashantis not to trace the ancestry of any captives including their own ancestry...
lawyer is doing a good job but he should set the record straight that komfo anokye is not from awuku gua. he is from sekyere agona. becuase his parent noticed the wonders he was doing in his early stages that is why he was sent to awuku gua for the chief fetish priests there to train him because that was the place they used to train fetish priest.
I need Lawyer Frimpong number. I come from Asante Asamang near Agona where Anokye was chief and there is another great man apart from Okomfo Anokye.... I need to share with the Lawyer
I understand why Bantama chieftancy inheritance is Mma mma akonwa... Children of previous chiefs but not nephews. Cos of the Northern paternity history 👌😁
Ntor). If Kwamang was the name of present day Kumasi, then how did Dormaa conquer Asante? Obiri Bohen didn't create Asante. Dormaa couldn't have defeated federated States. How big was Dormaa?
Now the question comes again about how Komfo Anokye and mother (probably parents) came to Denkyira. We've been told in some versions that Komfo Anokye was, and born in Akuapem and some recently claim he's an Ewe.
MaxTV please Invite the secretary for Dankyira heritage foundation on this programme. Y'all will open your mouth in shock about chronicles of the Akan history.
@@Barima100 Okomfo Anokye made a decree that it is a taboo to expose the origin of Asantes. So how were you expecting Asantes to tell their histories without breaking that taboo? That is why most Asante narrations are half truth mixed with lies. They needed to tell the history in such a way that they won't break the law of Okomfo Anokye. So you need to relearn the history of Akan by listening to other sides if you want to know the truth!
I wish to congratulate Lawyer for telling the history of Denkyira and Asante But I have a different version about the source of name of ASANTE because the tribal group of people called ASANTE were there before the old GHANA empire was founded ,as well as other tribes of AKIMS. AJWAMUS, FANTES. AMENFIS, BONO ETC. Athese tribal people were there in Akans Dia Kingdom long before ALL THE EIGHT AKAN CLANS were created by King Dia of Dia Kingdom which was located in the area where the country MALI is located I am prepared to be invited by MAX TV to throw other lights on the Akans. Thank you. ( Nana Ankomah Yeboah- A Freelance Akan Historian )
The chiefs who sacrificed their lives for Assnte-Denkyira war were Tweneboah Kodua from Kumawu, Asenso Kofo from Adwumakase-Kese and Dokopim from Ejisu. Tweneboa Kodua was not beheaded. He was to go to the war without firing a shot. Asenso-Kofo was buried and concoction was prepared for the warriors to bath before the war and Dokopim was killed and his body was scattered by the vultures and the existent where the body reached was where the kingdom is.
Point of correction, Okomfo Anokye was never from Akwapem. He was an Ewe. There’s no doubt that you’re a great historian but this part of the history cannot be extorted, please
We need to get this man to help writers to make movies and documentaries for us to preserve our history . We should be serious as a country in this regard . Great asset to the nation
You are absolutely right my brother. Ghanaian movie producers should make movies about our history
Very Necessary
Very true. These Greek movies sometimes I feel are African stories retold with Caucasian characters
beautiful. This should be Game of thrones series. Just amazing, proud Asante
Bro if you read history books of old, it more than game of thrones, it a pit you wouldn’t want to enter because you will never wish to return. I was reading history books when I should be learning advanced accounting for the exam next day.
ikrrrrr
God bless this man he’s intelligent. He’s made me love history
Wow Ashanti history is very interested and lovely.
We need to help this man publish this knowledge
ASANTE NKAI"Asante never took any people it conquered slave,but Asante added the conquered people as Asante and asked its people to see them as brothers and forget how they were conquered. That's how come the ASANTE NKAI
Facts
Yes you are right
I don't believe your point of view
That's why people should understand that Asante is not a tribe but CONFEDERACY. It goes beyond territory
Facts
Asanteman is bigger than Ghana n greatest kingdom in Ghana n Africa
I would be blessed to study history under the feet of Lawyer Yaw Anokye. I am a final year student, Makola.
Great stuff.
The Akwamu warriors (300 of them) that accompanied Osei Tutu were given to the Asafohene, the chief warlord of Kwaman at the time ( latter Kumasi), hence his name Akwamuhene.

Am talking of the festival
It was akwamus but not akuapem because I haven't heard akuapem celebrate akwasidae but Awukudae for akuapem but akwamus celebrate akwasidae
Asanteman history very interesting
Wonderful can't get tired listening
I love my Ashanti Ancestors Storytelling. From Kente Cheif grandson
Asante
I love this. Our history is deep let us listen to it every week or every month. It will help us a lot
Great historian, this man is very good.
Thanks for sharing watching you from London I am a ga but I like this your programme its a great lesson
I love and respect this man. He recounting the real history unlike the lies others with loudspeakers once told us in textbooks
Wooooow
Great history
We need more of such for us to know our root
Wow 😮, very interesting, thanks for sharing these insights . God richly bless you lawyer 🙏
Greetings to my Uncle Kwame Anokye at Kumasi Krofrom
Great history today
Thanks so much but some few informations are wrong
Proudly
Asante ❤❤❤❤
This is the history people of Revelations we need to learn ❤
I’m really enjoying this. Thanks for the education on our rich history and culture
This historian has abridged the history of the Denkyira war. Three paramount chiefs sacrificed themselves: Tweneboa Kodua allowed himself to be beheaded, Boahen Anantuo allowed himself to be buried alive, Diko Pim led the battle but never fired a gun; rather allowed himself to be shot and killed.
Let's make good use of this man before it's too late
Asantes are welcoming and enlightened. They are deeply proud of their heritage!
So interesting
There is really history for Ghana.
This can be a Netflix Series!
I never new you have this programme on your station, in fact I like it and will be greatfull to be part of this programme
Very Good question asked by the Priest,
He needs to write a book about Ghana history
Thanks
you didnt mention Kumawu and Kokofu
This man know history paapa
Historians are good Communicator and am proud to be one. We separate History Proper from Speculations.
I think Lawyer is Akuapem man but He knows much history which I admire most from Gtv to max tv he made a great mark to me He deserves a massive attention... #ReallyAlegend
Asante didi Asante nkai
Means Asante must eat but we shouldn't remember the route of the people
My great grand father also fell down with Otumfuo that fateful Saturday which is one of my town’s oath
He is a humble lawyer
Very humble indeed,I’ve met him before
Otumfuor has never talked as Dormaahene keep on talking and incinerating passions! tell the dormaa chief to respect.
Piaww ✌️✌️✌️
Wow such a amazing daddy,I wish he should be teacher
Nice one
Thank very much all is true but please Okonfo Anokye have a twin brother from Anolo to Awukugua
PIAAAAAW 🎉🎉🎉❤
This Man is Historically accurate,though He miss the point regards to Kwaamang Hene and Asantehene
He always misses that point and I don't know why bcs he is so good, knowledgeable and humble.
All other historians agree Asante started from Osei Tutu though the attempt or call to unite started with Obiri Yeboah
Please do you have any history about NZema/Ahanta
Please I will be grateful if he could talk about Ashanti-Buem war in the 1800s
Teacher Kantanka's own words says the Sikadwa came after the Denkyira and Asante war but you are saying otherwise.
Point of correction, Ashanti kingdom started from Osei Titu not Obiri Boahene, so you should check your facts well
Lots of distortion
Lawyer pls point of correction pls the name of my great great grandfather name was Dasebre Boahen Anatuo pls not Adakwa.
The heros -the chiefs who sacrificed their lives to help Ashantis to defeat Denkyiras should include Asenso kufu(Dwaben-dwumakaasehene)Nana Dikopem of Ejusohene,Nana Nantuo Boahen of Ashanti manpon and Nana Barima Boa kodwoa of Kwumawu and Amankwa whose body was put in the dug up in Fayiese please.
Ashanti Kingdom:
Wo kum apem a, apem b3ba❤❤
Obiri Yeboah was Kwaman hene not Asantehene
Asante came after his death
Dormaa never fought Asante,but Kwaman,won the first and lost the second
So Dormaa wounded Obiri Yeboah and he died later. And Osei Tutu became Kwaman hene and killed Dormaa Kusi then chased them away and then formed Asante with other chiefs
You're right
I wanted to correct him
Dormaa never killed Obiri Yeboah
He was wounded and later get sick and die so he did not die in battle
Nana Obiri Yeboah never sat on the GOLDEN STOOL. Hence, he is not counted as an Ashanti King. Ashanti Kings began with the coming of the golden stool. Nana Osei Tutu is the first Ashanti King.
I wonder why he said that, this is common fact.
I sure can hear Ghanaian peace keeping Soldiers in the background trying to ease tension.
He forgot about Nana Asenso Kofo of Adwumakase-Kese. His skin was peeled alive in the process of the sacrifice
He is very good historian but got some of the information wrong
Facts
Can I call now
For the Asante nkae statement ,the explanation my matrilineal grandpa from barekese nkatia gave me was that.
He stated that asantes are made up of different tribes of which some were servants but in history we don't teach someone's root or background,
No one suppose to tell his fellow brother of not being pure Asante and so forth.
Therefore we got that proverb saying Asante nkae Odeefuo.but is not Asante nkae.
I so so love this 🤍
Point of correction Kumawu was also part of the Asante original States
It hurts i'm just watching this but i think Lawyer didnt do justice to the adage' Asante didi nso asante nkae....'... that is not the full adage, it is actually 'Asante didi wo ho nso Asante nkae wo nkyi' to wit 'Ashanti's benefit from you but will not trace your history or where you from (whoever you are , ashanti's want to know how you can help them, they dont care where you from)... as lawyer rightly said, Okomfo Anokye gave a stern warning to the Ashantis not to trace the ancestry of any captives including their own ancestry...
He needs to learn more bcos the meaning of Asante nkai has nothing to do with Okomfo Anokye
lawyer is doing a good job but he should set the record straight that komfo anokye is not from awuku gua. he is from sekyere agona. becuase his parent noticed the wonders he was doing in his early stages that is why he was sent to awuku gua for the chief fetish priests there to train him because that was the place they used to train fetish priest.
We are all one people
The Mamponghene was Boahen Anantuo
I need Lawyer Frimpong number. I come from Asante Asamang near Agona where Anokye was chief and there is another great man apart from Okomfo Anokye.... I need to share with the Lawyer
I now Understand why The Ashantis Revere their King.........
please let's always have English translations , thank you !!
WATCH KAFUI DEY HE USES ENGLISH THERE
Heeeerrr is the same story my grandma told me. This man is too much.
essumeja is where i come from.
Where exactly was Okomfo Anokye born? I believe is my hometown Awukugua. Historian says Denkyira ?
Better
Eeiii...lawyer...Bantama...me papa na 3de ma me paaa?
This history is deep ....I learned alot of my history.
We request for you to also invite Nana Boadu Ntiamoah of the Dankyira heritage foundation
I understand why Bantama chieftancy inheritance is Mma mma akonwa... Children of previous chiefs but not nephews. Cos of the Northern paternity history 👌😁
Not true....
@@ebenezerdonkor-jk8ehit’s true
The back of the plantain tump in Akuapem/Akwamu twi is called mposae😂
Okomfo Anokye was from Awukugua, Akuapem. Please the word is Akuapem not the anglicized version Akwapim.
Ashantis are the greatest people ever
In which books?
@@kwamebryan711 ask your parents
I have a question was it Tweneboah Koduah or Antwi Bosiako who sacrificed his head?
T.K
How did the Hausa people landed at Bantama?
Ashantis are you now seeing all these don't mess with the Dankyiras and central region central region will always be civilized
Wonim nyansa baako sei. Read your history and tell us
You also forget to tell us that Akwamu people are also from Essumegya in asante
Opoku Ware was given the title Katakyie and not Barima
The same as Barima Katakyie
Ntor). If Kwamang was the name of present day Kumasi, then how did Dormaa conquer Asante? Obiri Bohen didn't create Asante. Dormaa couldn't have defeated federated States. How big was Dormaa?
Max TV please invite this gentleman Nana Boadu Ntiamoah for real Akan history. You'll love it
72 laws of Nana Okomfo Anokye nobody supposed to explain where Ashante people coming from
It was 77 pls not 72
Then take yourself into 77
Now the question comes again about how Komfo Anokye and mother (probably parents) came to Denkyira. We've been told in some versions that Komfo Anokye was, and born in Akuapem and some recently claim he's an Ewe.
Disregard the ewe notion...He is from Awukugua
MaxTV please Invite the secretary for Dankyira heritage foundation on this programme. Y'all will open your mouth in shock about chronicles of the Akan history.
That lies chronicles. ...😂😂

I’m Ashanti, but I believe Otumfour has to do something at Aquapim

Prempeh I didn't fight a war with the Akyem!
Which Denkyira are u talking about is fantse denkyira or what
Denkyira is not fante though they are all in the same region...
HISTORIAN WITH EXAMPLES.
You should let him finish the story before you open the phone lines.
Point of correction, Okomfo Anokye was never from Akwapem. He was an Ewe. There’s no doubt that you’re a great historian but this part of the history cannot be extorted, please
He is not a Ewe. You people too 😂
