    The traitor JB Dan Danquah is in hell. Forget about him. He actually opposed Ghana's in dependence - travelling all the way to London to tell the British we were not ready for independence and then his party abstaining in the ...

    How many times do you fools have to be reminded that Asante region was part of THE Gold Coast, especially, after 1902. Kwaku Duah himself said it in his Memphis speech. Youtube it. Asantes are stuck on stupid pretending they ...

    @ Fire, don't mind this revisionist writer. So after the British defeated the Asante and sent the king and queens to islands, they couldn't colonized it. This asantes always made and see themselves above everyone in Ghana but ...

    @Stephen Donkor, New Yorke. Kankan is the second largest city in Guinea and there is no such deity or 'marabou ' (juju) there now or during President Sekou Touré era. Don't disgrace President Nkrumah.

    Nkrumah's legacy can't be compromised.
    He's the champion of Africa.

  • The Voltarian 1 year ago

    This article is full of nonsense. Ashantis were in no way, shape or form integral to the fight for independence. There's no such thing as 'the big six', it is only 'the big one': Nkrumah. Traitors and CIA agents like Danquah ...

    This writer is purely an uneducated Asante. First, Ashanti territory did not include Bono and Ahafo regions. Secondly, Ashanti territory was officially declared by British as protectorate, which is the same as colony in 1783 ...

    Thank you. You have the facts unlike this writer who up this stupid article about Asante monarch being invited, the monarch was a slave to the British empire and shipped to scychelle island.

  • onipa 1 year ago

    JB is a con.
    He'll never elevate Asanteman over Okyeman.
    He said that to the Asantehene to get his support.
    That family can promise you anything to get power.
    Addo-Dee on my mind.

    JB Danquah outsmarted Asantehene. He was only interested in being the Prime Minister. Now, when he realized it was not happening under Nkrumah, he mashalled forces around UP, a party based on tribalists from Northern People's ...
