  • Dzekpo 1 year ago

    Africa never learns from it history. The West is never your friend. When you return those artefacts they won't bring it back to you. These are just sweet talks they often do. In the bond of 1844 the British made sweet promise ...

    Asantes are fools. They agreed to borrow their OWN stolen property from a thief, and give it back to them... They foolishly call Kwaku Duah king Solomon.

  • Paul Frimpong 1 year ago

    The insults is what makes us great. Ashantis make history for historians to write. We create topics for people to discuss.we raise the bar for people to be envious. Like flower, Ashantis don't look at other flowers next to u ...

    Your level of understanding is very low. The fact is if you go war and you are defeated, Whatever the conquerer takes from you becomes their property, usually considered as the 'spoils' or 'plunder' from the battle. Isreal ...

  • Kwadwo 1 year ago

    @Tim, neither Osei Tutu, Okomfo Anokye, or any of the Asante chiefs were educated from 1600-1900s. All the anthropological evidence that we rely on as to what was looted, who fought who etc were written by the very white peo ...
