I swear this man is very clever
I like his submission... He explains very clear.. thumbs up to you MR historian
Great Historian... I ask Allaah's guidance upon you Sir . .. I really really admire your profound knowledge.
It was Kwaman at the time. Asante started during the Osei Tutu 1and Okonfo Anokyi era.
You are right
Otumfour is the king of Ghana simple.
Keep fooling yourself😂😂😂😂
He is Otumfour is more than king
@@thestrongsignal who ever you are what ever you are your Chife will bow to the Asante kingdom
otumfuo never referred to himself as a king. He's the Asantehene and we like it like that.
So now you believe what the Dormaahene said, right?
@@MyloveforAsantemanDormaahene is right , there is no King OF Ghana. But there is a King in Ghana. Asantes has a King and that is the ASANTEHENE(The King of the Asantes). There is a King INSIDE Ghana.
Bro, it is what it is. Let's all accept this. Truthfully, there are KINGS in Ghana. But the ASANTEHENE stands out.
@shiii...ennnkasa6248 Then, if so, there are soo kings in Ghana 🤣
@@MyloveforAsanteman Thank yooooooooou. Dagbon, Namum, Mamprugu, The Asantes
@@MyloveforAsanteman Dormanhene is just jealous of Otumfour period
He is a king in Asente and asante is bigger than Ghana period
Keep fooling yourself
😂😂😂😂
Gyimie naaa😂😂
@@thestrongsignal if you are not not part of the hates let me know what tribe are you,aboa bi ba,
Massa your sick constitution cannot tell us what we the ashantis to do okayeeee
We the ashantis says Otumfuor is our king what is your problem Ghanafour you can call him odikro who cares please give us a break aabbbbbbbbbbbai
But who said Otumfour is a king .The Asanteman calls him Asantehene. There is no king in Ghana because Ghana is under constitutional rule and not monarchical rule. HOWEVER, the Asantehene cannot be referred as a paramount chief. THIS is because he has other paramouncies under him so l think he is an overlord. Otumfour has more than 66 paramount chiefs under him.And it is important to state that these paramount chiefs are not only in Ashanti Region.
Simple as ABCD. King is an English word but before that language was introduced in Ghana the Ashanti's were calling their overland ASANTEHENE. And even that people still have problem with the name. Is just envy
Thank you and that’s what makes the Dormaahene a warmonger! Even the paramount chiefs in the north are not making noise!
No King in Ghana 🇬🇭 that is all wether you like it or not it's what it's let move on as one people's one family one Ghana 🇬🇭❤
He's ASANTEHENE
You go explain taya
Why are u people worrying ur mind like that! Is king a Ghana language! He is Asantehene! 3no so wo nti bi da ! aba ! U will get bp ooo
King is an English word , before English word was introduced he was called ASANTEHENE.
@@yawdwubengsarpong6628 oh Me nua 3y3 as3m ! It is inferiority complex that is killing all these people. It is intellectual dishonesty from Dormaahene. he knows it but he has decided not to talk about it .
Masa how much have you been paid? Gyimii saaa. U don't know anything. Asante is more than a kingdom. In fact Asante is an empire
No insult bro, we all Asantes
The last time I checked Kingdoms have their security service, judiciary, parliament and constitution.
No king or a kingdom is under the rule of a political government
@@dennisbrown7930 Asante officially became a union state with Ghana in 1957, prior to that they had all these things that you are talking about. In the hisstory of Ghana they were the most organized group of people in terms of administration just like a mini country, that's why the British even refer to the Asantehene as king because they had an attribute of a kingdom. They were the most smartest among all the other tribes that's why they always brag that they're civilized. I'm not an Ashanti but i admire the cleverness of their ancestors
@@michaelfaraday8391 You are still talking about history but I am talking about the reality today.
Those days when Ashanti was a kingdom there was no country called Ghana but the moment they joined Gold Coast, Northern Territories and Western Togoland to form the country Ghana their kingdom and kingship ended.
Now they are under a political government so they no longer have a king or a kingdom
Kingdom without an army, how?😹funny
You see what I am saying, the position of the Otumfour the Asantehene ‘’ the laws of Ghana is not able to define the position of the Asantehene’ Now the issue is that, the position of the Otumfour is not definable by the laws or the constitution of Ghana. Therefore never deceive yourself that there is no King for Ghana. OTUMFOUR IS THE KING.
Lawyer, youve got it all wrong. Asante was formed when they had the Golden Stool and that was during Osei Tutus period. Obiri Yeboah was Kwaaman chief
What about kaku ackah Kingdom
The host doesn't know anything. Kudos to Lawyer Anokye Frimpong
Mr Anokye please clarify the history about the Asante and Gyaaman war. Because Dormaa is not same as Gyaaman . Nana kwadwo Adinkra was the Chief of Gyaaman.
I don't know him to be a historian. He and the Domaahene were mates at Legon and precisely at Commonwealth hall. He read political science anf law. I don't know him to be a historian. He is a controvertial figure. He is also hanouring an ambition to lead the CPP. Ignore him please.
What is wrong with having an ambition to lead CPP? Who is a historian? Any person who studies and writes (used broadly) about the past and is seen as an authority is a historian. The man is a historian. Period
I see....
Wait, who are you ?
Otumfuo isn't a King in Ghana by this definition and that's the bitter truth....No King in Ghana period !
He's ASANTEHENE
You go explain taya
What is the bitter truth in this! If u don't take care u will think about unnecessary things and u will get mad one day oo! King is not a Ghanaian language ooo ton ! U people should wise upq
He’s Asantehene! He has never said he’s a king of Ghana 😂😂😂😂Asantehene is He!! We don’t have the word king in our vocabulary
Exactly he's Asantehene and not a king. He's just considered primus inter pares( first among equals) among the Ashanti paramount chiefs. There's no king in Ghana's constitution.
The history as narrated by Mr Anokye is not entirely true. There are distortions. Dormaa was not a state before the confederacy of independent states. Offinso was a conquered area which was bequeathed to the leader of Offinso people at Bekyem. I am not even sure at that time the original name of this area was called Offinso.
I follow this man quite a lot and understands his story telling😂. Most of the time, he uses names or references in present day time in a story of around the 1600s. It’s normal. Example, the first war was between Kwaman and the people of Dormaa and not Asante. Asante was formed way after that incident. So pardon him. That’s how he tells his stories. Nevertheless, he is a gem and has wealth of knowledge in academic history.
Come out with what u know
This is a recounted history and not a thesis, so you have to understand. It is a summary account of history. It doesn't mean all details have to fall in place before understanding. You Ghanaians always jump to designate someone as a liar when a summary of history is being given meanwhile you are able to watch a two-hour movie that represent several years of action.
Grow up and understand it.
@@dinho4real that is how history is recounted so that the listener knows whom the account refers to. that doesn't mean he does not know that the first war was between kwaman and dormaa (even you, the reference of dormaa is recent because during that first war there was no dormaa). Hope you get it.
You guys got to be patient when listening to recounted history.
@@amoahfrank5162 solid
The was no any kingdom called Asante BEFORE Osei tutu so Obiri Yeboah couldn’t have been Asante Hene
Its good you schooled the ignorant people
Lawyer please explain it well,there's no asante that time, is kwaman
Massa keep quiet obiri Yeboah was not Asantehene
He is giving a recounted history, stop your ignorance. That is how a recounted history is given so that the listener get to know those who are being referred to (as a continuation from the past). Be reasonable.
The Asante is a traditional independent nation. The Asante is only in a union state with Ghana. The Asante has their independence in 1935 and the Asantes only decided to join the then Gold Coast after they also had their independence in 1957. Though constitutional rule but customary laws makes the Asantehene the Otumfour which is even bigger than a King. Check the world’s invitations for Otumfour and you will see that the ROYAL MAJESTY -OTUMFOUR IS A KING. The Kingship of Otumfour is never determined by the written constitution period. Is the bitter truth. Analyze this from Otumfour’s convoy, entourage and understand that Otumfour is Ghana’s King and not only the Asantes.
Brother where did you learn this from. Asante including the others all got independence on one day: 6th March 1957. Any other kind of historical account that dispute that is a lie.
Stop reading from random sources on Google okay. Do a proper research.
This Man Is Ignorant of Asante History. During the time of Obiri Yeboah there was nothing like Asante. Obiri Yeboah was not among the Chiefs who came together to form Asante. Also Osei Tutu Came with 300 soldiers from Akwamu not 700. Offinso was never defeated by the Asantes and they have never fought any war. Offinso was an ally of Kwaeman during Obiri Yeboahs Era. The land was given to them by the wife of Obiri Yeboah. Offinso fought on the side of kwaemang during Kwaeman Vrs Domaa war. They were among the people who voluntary agreed to come together to form Asante Kingdom, Check your records to find out when Offinso became a Paramount Chief.
Hahahaha this man is funny😂😂😂,aah what is super paramount chiefs?this man, Dormaa hene and their counterparts will continue fool this youth for long it got to stop, no wander the politicians saying the youth heads are like Kube no sense because they don't want to learn,Well mr Frimpong, OHENE means KING that's English language simple,I can tell you Otumfuo is ahenfo mu hene ( say it 3x) KING of KINGS "why" OTUMFUO have 71 KINGS (ahenfo 71) under him now, so a KING who have 71 KINGS under him is KING "OF" KINGS! KING who have KINGS under him,Thats why BRITISH they own the luggage called "ENGLISH", recognize him as KING, not your language SUPER paramount chief eii teacher boi,I dont blame him much because see the kind of journalist interviewing him he don't know anything including his producer,when Tony Anan fortson and others like ofa adusi poku,Yamoah Frimpong,Ofa Yamoah Ponko we called him op3tuo,Bosey Amponsah,Ofa Sekyere,Amankwa Ampofo and the rest were there, we didn't hear this hooey aah ooo no
School these ignorants Sir !
This man is mad He doesn't know what he's talking about. Asante came after Obri Yaboah. Gyimii saa. Domaa didn't travel to ivory Coast bia. It was Asantes people
Be reasonable. He is giving a recounted history, it doesn't mean he does not know the factual account. Obiri Yaboah's reign (the past before asanteman) is continued by asantehene in the present. That is what history is recounted so that the listener get to know the history as represented.
Bro Dormaa traveled to Ivory coast and later return back to Ghana
