Let me educate you. Okomfo Anokye is called Torgbui Tsala , his is a twin brother to Torgbui Tsali.
When they migrated from Notsie in Dahormey to present day Ghana, Tsali & Tsala had a little beef, so Tsala traveled to to the then Ashanti empire, where literally they were calling him okomfo from Notsie or okomfo a ofi Notsie, they started shorting the name to Okomfo Notsie, Later turned Notsie to Anokye.

It's the same way they claim Okomfo Anokye was from Ashanti Region when indeed the man was from the Volta Region, Notse. Okomfo from Notse, now Okomfo Anokye.

The issue isn't to claim is from Volta but to establish the fact that he is an Ewe from Notsie. U will agree with me Ewes like other communities in Ghana like naming settlers in their communities by adding where they hail from to their first names, hence Okomfo Notsie ( Okomfo from Notsie) It will interest u to know that he was a twin.

Just before the declaration of the Independence of Ghana in 1957, these same UP/NPP people took a plane to England to persuade the colonial despots (not masters) not to grant independence to the then Gold Coast. Today, they are even forcing to make themselves relevant as heroes - on the same parallel as the Founder of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah, in the events leading to the struggle for independence. Not only that, but, they are so shameless that, they are even celebrating the event with the true Patriots of Ghana and Africa.

Unquestionably, Paa Grant formed the UGCC and invited all other subsequent members to join this august body that heralded the gaining of independendence from the despots. The initial group that Paa Grant assembled - and which included JB Danquah, could not get their act together for the purposes of which they had been grouped together. Out of desperation, Paa Grant had to reach further out beyond the Gold Coast until he was informed of a dazzling young man called Kwame Nkrumah who was then involved in the global Pan African struggle in the UK.

Paa Grant quickly got in touch with Kwame Nkrumah and personnaly arranged for his return to Ghana to join the UGCC. Within six months of Nkrumahs arrival, the hitherto largely unknown name of the UGCC, became not only the national banner for independence throughout the country but, also the focus of international curiosity. The stage was thus set for the political independence of Ghana.

Today the incompetent misfits whose only expertise is to reap where they have not sown, have the audacity to superimpose the names and non-performance of traitors and treacherous common thieves above those of the true Founders, liberators and heroes of Ghana.

Today, under the most corrupt and disgraceful stain of the Akuffo Addo govt, the monumental national and international accomplishments of Kwame Nkrumah are reluctantly mentioned in passing whilst the name of Paa Grant, the man who started it all, has been unfairly laid to rest in the back-burner.

History always goes with markers. The name Tetteh is not original to Akuapem, it was only when they mingled and traded with the Gas that those names became common. In the same way, there is nothing mystique or supernatural about the Akwapim area. Their shrine priests wear white kaliko cloth not raffia. Besides, their fetishism does not connote any supernatural wonders except rotating and spinning around uncontrollably. Okomfo from Notsie, now called OkomfovAnokye is similar to this Tetteh Quarshie controversy. He is too powerful to come from Akuapim. Indeed if the Akwapims had supernatural mystique powers, it will still prevail in the area up to today but there is nothing like that. Their funerals and festivals are a procession, no demonstration of any magical or super powers. Therefore, Okomfo Anokye can only come from Volta or Nzema or the northern par of Ghana where the markers still prevail in one form another. For instance at the funeral of the late Ashanti Queen mother in recent past, there was absolutely no show of supermystery except for some musketery and scarecrows painted mud black. It was when the Agbogbomefia got to the funeral grounds that the whole Kumasi got a sense of the funeral of a great woman. Agbogbomefia brought with him the little brothers of Okomfo firi Notsie. The whole Ghana is surrounded by the three-horns of superpowers: Volta to the East, Nzema to the West and some tribes in the North. This is the triangle of spiritual protection to Ghana. Okomfo Anokye could not have come from Akwapim.

If they did, they would know thatmost of their names are linked to the Guans who welcomed them as they fled from Nigeria and gave them lands to settle on. They inter-mingled and in the process their children were given Guan names, Tete ,Odei etc became Tetteh and Odai. Tetteh Quashie was Tete. The Gas will realise that their land is an island surrounded by Guans to their west, Nort and East.

The writer, Ayikoi Otoo, is a lawyer and a past government official who could have come out with this information years ago if it is indeed true that Tetteh Quarshie is of Osu heritage. All history books on Ghana have it that he was from Akuapem. The President was only stating what has been accepted as a fact these many years. The writer failed to mention the names of his mother and father and their being natives of Osu. If Ayikoi has better facts he better make them public, otherwise he's only speculating.

Names can deceive because of the patrilineal and matrilineal divergence. If his mother came from Akuspem and he grew up there, he himself would identify more with Akuapem given the matrilineal system of the Akans - you come from where your mother comes from and not where your father comes from. More so, if his father was also mixed with an Akan mother and a Ga father. In effect, Tetteh Quarshue could be actually only a quarter Ga. Names can deceive. There are Osei Tutus who are probably 3/4 Ewes, especially if closer to their Ewe mother's side.

My parents were pure Gas but through trading into the Ashanti region specifically in the Assign and Adansi region, my mother Naa Ashamie lobbied my Ga father Nii Ayi (Kwaku), his Wednesday day of the week was added to his real Ga name because there were few Nii Ayi(s) at the village we were called Ashaley -Annan near Obom to differentiate him from others. My Ga father after a visit to the Ashanti region in 1970, where he met half of his Ga family members who have relocated to the area many years ago, returned to our village, packed our belongings and headed out to Adansi Praso village called Prekesease to go into cocoa farming. There are Ga named villages throughout the Ashanti region especially where we settled, there are villages named after the early Ga settlers who have been in the area for over 120 years ike Otokonor village, Lameleytse village, Oduman village, Ashadeytse village, Nkrankese/ giving to the village by their Fante/Ashanti settler as the biggest Ga settlement village, Nuumo Botoku village etc. So I support the argument that Nuumo Tetteh Quarshie was a pure Ga but where in OSU could one sow cocoa seeds? I am sure he was invited by a family member who might have been living in the Mampong area for a visit, being a smart and agricultural enthusiast tested the cocoa seeds and how they germinated brought joy and he decided to settle and persue his dream to be a cocoa farmer.

It is possible that Tetteh Quarshie was born and raised in Osu, had Akwapim-Akropong lineage or had decided to settle there due to the arable nature of the soil in the region for cocoa plantation, after attempts to nurse his cocoa seedlings elsewhere failed to yield desirable results.

We all know TQ’s history. He was born and bred in Osu. However, he settled down in Mampong-Akwapim as a young man, and it was from there that he journeyed to Fernando Po, worked there and eventually smuggled the cocoa pods in his luggage to the Gold Coast. He planted the seeds in his adopted hometown, and the rest is history. No need for the Ga-Dangbe group to make a fuss about this. It was a slip of tongue and could be blamed on Nana’s speechwriter who did not do his research diligently.

It has become a norm for anyone at all to challenge the president on anything he says. Why the so-called group now refuting the claim that Tetteh Quarshie was not from Akuapim Mampong but fro Osu ? You can't blame the president for he learnt from or was taught in school just like any of us including those people. Every Ghanaian who has been to primary school knows that Tetteh Quarshie was an indigene of Akuapim Mampong but not Osu. Let's be fair to ourselves and stop this unnecessary argument as your forefathers even didn't raise a voice against what's in the history books so why now? You may not like the president but he said exactly what's in the public domain. It's laughable for another group of people claiming Okomfo Anokye was from Volta region and I don't where these people are coming from. I won't be surprised if tomorrow we wake up to hear that Dr Kwame Nkrumah was from volta region.

, In our days, the history books told us Tetteh Quarshie was a Ga, the nane iself is self explanatory, that Nkrumah founded Ghana when Danqua etc opposed. These are well documented
When and how did Tetteh Quarshie become an Akwapim all of sudden under Akuffo Addo? When did Danqua and co become founders of Ghana when they sent a delegation to England to prevent the independence
Why is Akufo creating all these confusion and problems for Bawumia and Ghana before leaving to the grave

Do you need someone to tell you that his name alone shows that he's not an Akan? I think the man is suffering from dementia and need early retirement. The only thing the eastern region has contributed to this country is chaos and troubles like Akuffo Addo, J. B Danquah, Busia, and the friends and families of this weakling President. Always creating unnecessary tension. Why won't he ask that they should rename the UG to his CIA agent uncle's name?

Nana Akufo Addo , if people want to argue about his father will simply go to Google. Kwame Nkrumah if people want to settle the argument if he's a Liberian or Ghanaian, they just Google the name. George Oppon Weah, if people want to settle the argument if he's a Ghanaian or Liberian, they just Google the name. So if you have argument about Tetteh Quarshie, the sensible thing to do is to just Google the name. I just did AND GOOGLE SAYS TETTEH QUARSHIE WAS BORN AT TESHIE, GA PARENTS AND WORKED AS A BLACKSMITH AT AKROPONG WITH THE BASEL MISSIONARY ETC. So why are people still arguing? Why do Ghanaians behave like illiterate people? It's very simple issue and I don't understand this plenty comments when the real truths are easily available. But still Ghanaians will be writing and arguing, how were these people created?

Which one do we believe because the people of Teshie is also claiming he is from their town.Osu also said he is their own, let us just said he is a Ga adangbe period.
