#MaxAgenda: History Of The War Between The Ashantis And The Denkyiras With Lawyer Anokye Frimpong #MaxFM #MaxOnline #Asantis #Denkiras #otumfuooseitutu #komfoanokye
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
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
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
In asante oration we slang, thats why osei tutu can be pronounced n33seitu, nana osei can be called n33sei, john mahama mostly is said as john mama, nana akua (n33kua)
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
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 )
I understand why Bantama chieftancy inheritance is Mma mma akonwa... Children of previous chiefs but not nephews. Cos of the Northern paternity history 👌😁
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.
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.
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!
There are alot of things that he said that are factually incorrect; 1. They claim Osei tutu was a nephew to Obiri Yeboah, Obiri Yeboah was an Aduana man just like his predecessors(Twum ne Antwi, Dwamina Akenten) so how can a sister of Obiri Yeboah (Aduana clan man, making the woman, osei tutu's mother also an Aduana clan woman) give birth to an Oyoko clan newphew to obiri Yeboah since they are saying they brought matrilineal inheritance meaning the child should be part or come from his uncle's clan a Aduana and not oyoko, so where from this oyoko nephew to an Aduana uncle? The fact is that osei tutu was from a group who later became the kokofu people. When you go there you can find where exactly osei tutu's mother birthed him near a river, which has now been made into a shrine. Osei tutu was made the kwaamanhene and to amalgamate all the minute, scattered and unformed states/tribes in the enclave as well as pulling most Denkyira defectors(Atwima-- All Atwima people in the Ashanti region are Denkyiras, nkawie, Asuowon, Pakyi etc etc etc) by the tricks of okomfo Anokye to create a civil war in Denkyira for their liberation because of their tutelage and friendship in Denkyira. 2.I will keep the rest until I have received answers to the above. Please, we all need to analyse whatever these Asante historians tell the public anytime, you will see their flaws.
They always say the history to favor them, but they learned everything from Denkyira. All the divisions in chieftaincy like Benkum, nifa, adonten and the rest hails from Denkyira and Ghana as a whole learnt from it that’s why we have ministries
MaxTV please invite the secretary for Dankyira heritage foundation to your station. You'll marvel at his articulacy on the real Akan cosmogony. His name Nana Boadu Ntiamoah
Bono people say golden stool was taken from them, now Denkyira people are saying Golden Stool was taken them. So which is which. The Golden Stool was conjure from heaven for the Asantes to strengthen our kingdom
@@aniakwaaemmanuel1095 The golden stools were two. The first one was from Denkyira. It was taken from Ntim Gyakari on the Friday that the Feyiase Civil Uprise happened in 1701 - remeber this event led to the creation of Asante. So it was blackened to be the Sikadwa Kofi. The second one was taken from Bono after the attack on Techiman-Bonomanso after 40 years later.
This is a very good program. The only thing that disturbed me was that Lawyer seemed to imply that everything good in Ashanti came from either Okomfo Anokye or other tribes. Why didn't that happen to the akwapims or the Sehwi or the Akyims? As a historian, you may need to dig deeper to find the reason. I enjoyed your expose immensely, otherwise.

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
That's a lie...families have disputes, but as an outsider they'll gang up against u..when an akuapim man sees a fante man, they see themselves as brothers more than they see someone with a different language...
You this man eh, I will do a rebuttal Vidoes soon against the misinformation and the Asante supremacy lies you are spreading. If Asante was so much powerful as you say all the time, why did it fall?

There is misfortunes in somewhere the first akwamuhene in kumasi was suaduhene he also kontihene before bantamahene later on became kumasi dikro that is the only title we hold now suaduhene is the second in command in akwaamu division in kumasi we give otumfour pampaso to settle there .the place they were held that meeting at gee is our lamd culture centre and race scores too is ours
What is more important now is for the other tribes to push in more money in promoting their culture and history, like the Asantes are doing... THEY PUSH IN MONEY TO PROMOTE THEIR CULTURE AND HISTORY 😊
@peterosei7412 then he us not telling it in a rightful way and since you knows him better let him understand that we don't narrate a history like that he is a grown man and he should know how to narrate past cases .
Historians are good Communicator and am proud to be one. We separate History Proper from Speculations.
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
God bless this man he’s intelligent. He’s made me love history
beautiful. This should be Game of thrones series. Just amazing, proud Asante

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
Wow Ashanti history is very interested and lovely.
He forgot about Nana Asenso Kofo of Adwumakase-Kese. His skin was peeled alive in the process of the sacrifice
I love my Ashanti Ancestors Storytelling. From Kente Cheif grandson
Asante
Greetings to my Uncle Kwame Anokye at Kumasi Krofrom
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

It was akwamus but not akuapem because I haven't heard akuapem celebrate akwasidae but Awukudae for akuapem but akwamus celebrate akwasidae
Great historian, this man is very good.
This is the history people of Revelations we need to learn ❤
I love this. Our history is deep let us listen to it every week or every month. It will help us a lot
Asantes are welcoming and enlightened. They are deeply proud of their heritage!
This can be a Netflix Series!
Thanks so much but some few informations are wrong
Proudly
Asante ❤❤❤❤
Wooooow
Great history
We need more of such for us to know our root
Wonderful can't get tired listening
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
I’m really enjoying this. Thanks for the education on our rich history and culture
Asanteman history very interesting
Point of correction, Ashanti kingdom started from Osei Titu not Obiri Boahene, so you should check your facts well
you didnt mention Kumawu and Kokofu
Heeeerrr is the same story my grandma told me. This man is too much.
Great history today
In asante oration we slang, thats why osei tutu can be pronounced n33seitu, nana osei can be called n33sei, john mahama mostly is said as john mama, nana akua (n33kua)
Slangs yɔɔɔ
Very Good question asked by the Priest,
Nice one
He needs to write a book about Ghana history
Thanks
I so so love this 🤍
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
I now Understand why The Ashantis Revere their King.........
I wish to congratulate Lawyer for telling the history of Denkyira and Asante

Thank you.
( Nana Ankomah Yeboah- A Freelance Akan Historian )
He is a humble lawyer
Very humble indeed,I’ve met him before
Lawyer pls point of correction pls the name of my great great grandfather name was Dasebre Boahen Anatuo pls not Adakwa.
WE DON'T WANT THEM TO DO ANYTHING FOR AKUAPIM BESIDES WE WANT OUR OKOMFO ANOKYE WHO THEY KILLED
Point of correction Kumawu was also part of the Asante original States
I understand why Bantama chieftancy inheritance is Mma mma akonwa... Children of previous chiefs but not nephews. Cos of the Northern paternity history 👌😁
He is very good historian but got some of the information wrong
Facts
We are all one people
Otumfuor has never talked as Dormaahene keep on talking and incinerating passions! tell the dormaa chief to respect.
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.
I sure can hear Ghanaian peace keeping Soldiers in the background trying to ease tension.
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
Better
The back of the plantain tump in Akuapem/Akwamu twi is called mposae😂
Yh yh yh I'm Anumian 😅
This history is deep ....I learned alot of my history.
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤💛💛💛💛💛
Ashantis are the greatest people ever
In which books?
@@kwamebryan711 ask your parents
essumeja is where i come from.
Teacher Kantanka's own words says the Sikadwa came after the Denkyira and Asante war but you are saying otherwise.
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
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.
Opoku Ware was given the title Katakyie and not Barima
The same as Barima Katakyie
You should let him finish the story before you open the phone lines.
We request for you to also invite Nana Boadu Ntiamoah of the Dankyira heritage foundation
please let's always have English translations , thank you !!
WATCH KAFUI DEY HE USES ENGLISH THERE
Ashantis are you now seeing all these don't mess with the Dankyiras and central region central region will always be civilized
Prempeh I didn't fight a war with the Akyem!

Which Denkyira are u talking about is fantse denkyira or what

How did the Hausa people landed at Bantama?

The Mamponghene was Boahen Anantuo
Okomfo anokye will come back
I know you know the truth cos the stool was taken from Denkyira, but never mind, cos that’s smart way to control your people. Ashanti is great!!!

10:25 TS
So if Akwamu was greater then Akyem was greatest because it was Akyem which fought for the Akuapems o drive away the Akwamus .
Let the man talk and stop those calls
The stool was taken from yendi
I disagree with opayin it was not akuapem who gave the Asantes festival but akwamu
Get to akwamu field for more
You shouldn't be interrupting the man narrating history
History telling too call in segment come inside
Can we have the lawyer's phone number?
Kwame Anokye should stop saying Ashanti Ashanti
Nothing like that exists
What exist is Asante .....not nonsensical Ashanti
We need Nana Boadu Ntiamoah also on MaxTV
For him to come and spew his nonsense history.
