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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It wasn't Asante but Kwaman when Nana Obiri Yeboah was the chief but after Nana Osei Tutu I became the king that he formed Asante Kingdom so that's the truth.
Yes they stole it during the way, nkransa king was among those who helped Ashanti to steel the golden stool according to my great great grandma, come to think how did someone command a stool from heaven, it was among one of the reason they buried anokye alive
I understand why Bantama chieftancy inheritance is Mma mma akonwa... Children of previous chiefs but not nephews. Cos of the Northern paternity history 👌😁
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 )
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?
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
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!
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.
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.

I would be blessed to study history under the feet of Lawyer Yaw Anokye. I am a final year student, Makola.
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
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
We need to help this man publish this knowledge
God bless this man he’s intelligent. He’s made me love history
Wow Ashanti history is very interested and lovely.
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
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
I love and respect this man. He recounting the real history unlike the lies others with loudspeakers once told us in textbooks
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.
Wonderful can't get tired listening
Wow 😮, very interesting, thanks for sharing these insights . God richly bless you lawyer 🙏
Wooooow
Great history
We need more of such for us to know our root
Thanks for sharing watching you from London I am a ga but I like this your programme its a great lesson
Asanteman history very interesting

This is the history people of Revelations we need to learn ❤
Thanks so much but some few informations are wrong
He needs to write a book about Ghana history
I’m really enjoying this. Thanks for the education on our rich history and culture
Let's make good use of this man before it's too late
Greetings to my Uncle Kwame Anokye at Kumasi Krofrom
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 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
Great history today
Proudly
Asante ❤❤❤❤
There is really history for Ghana.
Asante didi Asante nkai
Means Asante must eat but we shouldn't remember the route of the people
This can be a Netflix Series!
Very Good question asked by the Priest,
Please I will be grateful if he could talk about Ashanti-Buem war in the 1800s
My great grand father also fell down with Otumfuo that fateful Saturday which is one of my town’s oath
Historians are good Communicator and am proud to be one. We separate History Proper from Speculations.
Wow such a amazing daddy,I wish he should be teacher
So interesting
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
Asantes are welcoming and enlightened. They are deeply proud of their heritage!
I sure can hear Ghanaian peace keeping Soldiers in the background trying to ease tension.
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.
Otumfuor has never talked as Dormaahene keep on talking and incinerating passions! tell the dormaa chief to respect.
Thank very much all is true but please Okonfo Anokye have a twin brother from Anolo to Awukugua
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.
He is a humble lawyer
Very humble indeed,I’ve met him before
He forgot about Nana Asenso Kofo of Adwumakase-Kese. His skin was peeled alive in the process of the sacrifice
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.
Ashanti Kingdom:
Wo kum apem a, apem b3ba❤❤
Thanks
you didnt mention Kumawu and Kokofu
Asanteman is bigger than Ghana n greatest kingdom in Ghana n Africa
Ashantis are the greatest people ever
In which books?
@@kwamebryan711 ask your parents
Nice one
Please do you have any history about NZema/Ahanta
This history is deep ....I learned alot of my history.
I’m Ashanti, but I believe Otumfour has to do something at Aquapim
Piaww ✌️✌️✌️
Teacher Kantanka's own words says the Sikadwa came after the Denkyira and Asante war but you are saying otherwise.
Lawyer pls point of correction pls the name of my great great grandfather name was Dasebre Boahen Anatuo pls not Adakwa.
I now Understand why The Ashantis Revere their King.........
I so so love this 🤍
Heeeerrr is the same story my grandma told me. This man is too much.
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
PIAAAAAW 🎉🎉🎉❤
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.
Point of correction, Ashanti kingdom started from Osei Titu not Obiri Boahene, so you should check your facts well
Lots of distortion
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.
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
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
Max TV please invite this gentleman Nana Boadu Ntiamoah for real Akan history. You'll love it
Point of correction Kumawu was also part of the Asante original States
He is very good historian but got some of the information wrong
Facts
The back of the plantain tump in Akuapem/Akwamu twi is called mposae😂
The Mamponghene was Boahen Anantuo
It wasn't Asante but Kwaman when Nana Obiri Yeboah was the chief but after Nana Osei Tutu I became the king that he formed Asante Kingdom so that's the truth.
We are all one people
Where exactly was Okomfo Anokye born? I believe is my hometown Awukugua. Historian says Denkyira ?
Yes they stole it during the way, nkransa king was among those who helped Ashanti to steel the golden stool according to my great great grandma, come to think how did someone command a stool from heaven, it was among one of the reason they buried anokye alive
The Asante nkai means the Asantes were not to remember where those defeated come from. Asante don't remember their defeated friends.
Eeiii...lawyer...Bantama...me papa na 3de ma me paaa?

You should let him finish the story before you open the phone lines.
