    Stop using the word 'tribe' to describe us. It is a euro centric pejorative term designed to make us look inferior and primitive. Rather use the word 'SOCIETY'.

    Kwasia TuTu and his ancestors are slave traders

  • Adjei Kojo 9 months ago

    Claim?
    Is the simple truth. The British did not trade with the Asante, they protected the Fanti's for economic reasons, and cared less abt the warmongers up north.
