Who can narrate the Ga history better than a Ga? Yes I have listened to his narrative though he did his best to enlighten some people in a best way that he could, he didn't quite get it accurately enough. I will say fairly accurate. The Ga people totally beat the Ashanti people at the Katamanso war single handedly. The evidence is still there. Also the Ga people have always believed in one God whom they call Ataa Naa Nyomor. It was later that some few Ga people began to mimic the Ashanti's by bringing in the Otigali worship. But even that didn't take root. As a young girl when I was growing up a day before homowo my grandmother will ask us all to go to bed early and before going to bed all the doors posts will be maked with red clay as iconic representation to symbolise the Passover as stipulated in the Bible. I witnessed my grandmother and the rest of our relatives using hyssop for purification ritual the same way as in the Bible. History is better told by the people themselves. It is better coming from the horses own mouth. Having said that he has done his best to enlighten some people . Thanks
Ma dear, I think he tells us the history from official history he's learnt. History is history it doesn't matter where one comes from. If a Ga has studied history, he can as well give us his version. Until then lets give him the benefit of the doubt.
Madam since u r Ga and you only can tell the true history..please show us your evidence that Ga single handedly departed Ashanti..u can ask for my evidence to disprove ur claim…let me remember you since u r not ready to learn as usual…no single tried without the help of the British ever defeated Asante…
This is not true. Not all Northern tribes were influenced by Arabs. The Gonjas in the north migrated to Ghana already circumcised before islam religion. They have traditional people whose lineage are specialized to perform circumcision. So traditionally any male child in Gonja land is circumcised after a week and it has nothing to do with Islam. Most of them converted to Islam in recent years. Traditionally, It's the circumcision that differentiates a real Gonja from captured tribes. So if you're not circumcised, it means you're not a real Gonja and therefore you cannot become a King or chief in Gonja land. So i think the reason you gave applies to only the Akan royals who do not circumcise. And i think Dagombas and the mamprusis also circumcise not because they are influenced by Arabs. There are no arabs in Ghana to influence any tribes.
@@deborahquaye3483 Bukom don't have a frafra but from the Upper west , dont think because he has lived all his life in a Ga land makes him a Ga, do proper research.
@@sylvesterkwadwoa2167 Azumah Nelson's mother was madam Comfort Atwei Quarcoo( that's a Ga indigenous name) and his father was Emmanuel Teilo Nelson(another Ga name of Brazilian origin) from Tabon family house of Ga mashie. The Tabon originally came from Brazil. The reason why we call him Azumah might be because of his strength. During their days there was this particular soap known as Azumah soap. That soap was very strong and since he was very strong himself, people might started calling him Azumah, and that might be how he got the name Azumah. Or maybe his parents just decided to add the Azumah to his name to honour a friend or someone they knew. Don't let the name Azumah fool you to overthink. He is not a frafra. He is a Ga from the Tabon family house in Accra. You can research on the Tabon people, that would help your understanding a bit. Or better still research on Azumah Nelson himself.
@@joeyknight4001 You are very right. Azumah is even a Ga (Tabon) name. My mother's eldest brother is called Azumah. We are Tabons and have a lot of Azumah(s) in our family. Many of the returnees from Brazil were of the Islamic faith so they had Islamic names. This led to the Tabons having corrupted versions of Islamic names now. My mum is called Sheifiratu (Sheifi) and I have aunties with names like Aminatu, Mamunatu, Abibatu, Abiana, Adjaratu, Lekia, etc. I have uncles called Aruna, AZumah, etc. The Tabons still have Portuguese surnames currently; names like Nelson, Vialla, Gomez, Peregrino, Ribeiro, Morton, Fiscian, Souza, Silva, Olympio and Cardoso. My mom is a Nelson and my dad is a Ribeiro.
Asanteman is giving this man a nightmare because anytime he gets the chance he wants to pin down Asanteman . He's very bitter !! Your bitterness is always making the Asante's the standard! Evilness in your blood .
You are such a horrible creature, what has this man said that makes him bitter. What is bitter of the history he recounts? Yes there are dividing lines (debatable) about history but all that he says has sources, that other historians have written including further research he himself has done. You don't have a humble heart nor intelligence to listen to historical accounts with dividing lines and courageously put yours across except to say he is bitter? aaaaah! Your statement is waaay childish... oh, when when, daben da...
aah! what at all is the perceived problems with most of you... What do you even mean by the man is bitter? God have mercy on you. You mean lawyer Anokye is bitter? for what? Look, let us all use reason, facts and figures when commenting... What has he even said that is against Asanteman? what all wrong with you guys? God!
I think you don't follow their episodes very well. The Man only speaks facts! I understand a lot of people have hates for the Asantes that has made some of you also angry and ready to defend Asanteman. Which is very understandable. But hey bro, I've listened to almost all the episodes of this program and I can tell you that, he only speaks facts! 😊 Most of the Asantes who follow this program would have 'pounced' on him if he had said something different from what most historians know. Some of us have come to accept that indeed Asanteman has done a lot for Ghana and they deserve all the attention they are getting... Peace! 😊 Cool down bro!
@@amoahfrank5162 What facts do you have ? What books have you read ? Do you even know the book he read all what he's saying from ? You think alot of what he says about Asante is ryt ? Knowledge is learnt , knowledge isn't for just anybody buh the one's that seek for it . You can also be a subject of knowledge.. Peace bro ... No insult , it's only enlightenment bro .
@@excelcee8055 oh yes I have read a lot of books, and I clearly get what sources the lawyer is referencing in his oral accounts of Asante history vis-à-vis the reality and the prominence of Asante in the affairs of Ghana. Although there are occasions where he may have slipped in certain dates or events but those are normal and understandable since he's not reading the history from a book but recounting them based on sources and researches he has read. Admittedly, there some areas of history that is disputed but a careful look of the indept sources the lawyer based his history from, is not only remarkable but amazing (emphasis mine). Hardly do we have an historian who compares several sources then do analytical conclusion, but lawyer does that, and even better, he goes further to do personal verification in some cases (like the battle of Nsamankow)... My point is that even if some of his accounts may be challenging to you, have the patience to dig deeper. When you do, you will realize that lawyer anokye has no evil intent to abuse Asante... He genuinely portrays issues where Asante matters. And as you know, Asante was powerful enough to be involved in a lot of other people's affairs, hence the reason why he keeps on bringing Asante stuff in other people's history... My brother, there are somethings that you grew up with believing they were the de facto truth or reality of Asante history, that may not be an actual representation of facts based on evidence or other sources registered by other historians. We only have to be humble enough not to antagonize someone who is just recounting his historical findings. It is not healthy to paint people black when you don't even know them. I hope you get my point...

Africans let us be proud of where we are and let us us our brains to develop our land.
point of correction , we Gas dont call ourselves as nkran, we are Gas. its the akans that call us nkranfuo. that isnt our name
But that is what the lawyer said.
The lawyer can't get everything correct
we are never called Ga or Nkran. it's the Akans who called us Nkran in our language nkran is translated as Ga
Speaking twi?What about Gas who dont unverstand twi?Negative.
Saying any black tribe is associated with Israel is an embarrassment. Mental programing is still working .
Oh but do you know that israel originally were africans?
4:30,😂😂😂
Jethro told moses to delegate some of his duties to the elders
Most blacks people don't maintain stuff . Those castles must be revived
Pia
To me it is very patronising, why can't they invite Ga historians to come and narrate the Ga history?

😅you need to learn and also prove him wrong with evidence not just words
Azumah Nelson is not a Ga, last time he said so. He is 100percent Frafra
Not true, go to Ga Mashie and ask OR are you confusing him with Bukom Banku who has a Frafra heritage

How come they stupidĺy Sold all Plots in Accra to Ashantis?One seldom hears people speak Ga in Accra.
Such stupid comment. Where would our brothers and sisters from the rest of the Country be if the Ga's had refused to welcome them?
