Ampah! Majority of Ghanaian moved in after the collapsed of the Mali and Shogai empires so the Northerners are the first to arrive even before the 1700s. Remember the Wagandugu empire existeda round 1100. The Akwamus, Dankyira, Dansi and all those groups directly descended from a pre-historic baboon-like ape that longer exists.

Sometimes I just laugh when I hear people say they come from this or that place. And the measuring rod is usually because their mum or dad 'claim' they came from a certain place. Now the question is how far back can you go to really determine where you come from? For eg: can you tell us, up to the 10th generation of your forefathers origins? And even beyond? The most ridiculous claim by some people that they emerged from a hole even makes this whole 'I come from here' thing nonsensical. Everybody came from somewhere. We're therefore products of our environment. Let's celebrate our common humanity and stop this tribal supremacy and stuff.

So someone claiming to have come from a hole or somewhere else makes them superior? Anokwa. Hatred indeed has no cure.

That stupid so called lawyer. Hiding behind politics like his boss otumfour and fooling himself around. He can do whatever, Bono has already calved its niche as the origin of Akan civilization. Everything about Akan - being kentey cloth (nwentoma), umbrellas on Akan chiefs, the gods of Akan - Taakora, 'Kukuro' that has always been fortifying the Asantehene, Akan drums and dances - fontomfrom and atumpan, kete etc the Akan calenders, adinkra symbols, the golden dressing of Akan chiefs, the Twi language etc. All these things are common to all akan societies and all emerged from Bono. I want Obiri Boahen to put a challenge against this - if they are not from Bono, they don't have this.

Kwasia man - read what is inside there and dispute against that, that is from Denkyira ( who even came out of Bono nkyiraa) or Adansi ( who came out of Bonomanso - the capital itself). Bono is the cradle of Akan of civilization, this stupid Obiri Boahen and you cannot dispute against this. Fools

You see your stupidity. You know nothing. It was Bono state but not Bono kingdom - kwasea hunu. Tell me the difference? Were the Bono kings at that time subject to anybody? They were sovereign at that time - do you know what it means? You don't even know what a 'state' means. Just like the British king was sovereign at time, same as the Bono kings were sovereign at that time until Asante intervention. You understand sovereignty, a kingdom or a state but here you are writing stupidly, thousands of pages with no substance.

@ Dallas, why waste your precious breath on the ignorant twat called "Selfmade Wanker". He is so damn stupid, he thinks the sort of bull shit that he spews out are facts. Let the twat called Obiri Boahene come an tell us of any Akan State that existed in the 1200s? As an as Asante man and history enthusiast, I know for a fact that, Brong or Bono precedes all other Akan tribes in the Gold Coast or Ivory Coast. That is a fact.

There are many self-appointed historians in the country, spewing a lot of unsupported nonsense as history. Sadly, some chiefs and their representatives are also doing it. An egregious example is the ignorant ewe representative who claims the ewes came from Sudan went through Iran and China, helping develop all those areas before finally settling in current Ghana, without providing any evidence. Ghanaians should not take any history lesson from b these quacks.

Operating a radio station is a business all over the country. They are making profits and creating employment opportunities for Ghanaians.

We need to understand certain things. No group of people called Asantes came from Bono and settled anywhere. There were some independent states or tribes such as Kwaman which is today called Kumasi, Apemso which is now called Kumawu, Offinso, Kokofu,Edwoso, Juaben, Adansi, Mampong and many more decided to come together because of war and that gave birth to the name ASANTE. We should not make it look as if Asante was a tribe somewhere and they migrated to their present locations. Today when we talk of Asante it includes people originated from Denkyira, Akwamu and Bono. People should not see Asante as one small group of who migrated from Bono to settle in their present location and had grown big. It is never like that. Asante formation is like United State of America which was independent states and decided to come together as one nation and likewise Asantes. You may see the name ASANTE as the youngest among the names of tribes in Ghana but the people are among the oldest.

This man is just stupid... He could not even realized that all that he said meant exactly what Lawyer Anokye projected. Is it because of hatred? God...

When lawyer Anokye said all akans were bonos I understood perfectly, because all the progeny of would-be akans once were in bono state, be it bono manso or any of the bonomanso villages.
Besides all akan artifacts discovered by archaeology that were dated pre-12/13th century were all found in the Bono area; other akan areas had no discovery of akan relics or artifacts pre-12/13th century except certain areas of the comoe lagoons down to few nzemaa areas in cote d'ivoire where some scanty relics were found...

This man is not sensible at all, does he even know the serious research done by lawyer Anokye on this historical records and evidences.

Yes asante is indeed a child but all progeny of asante (which just surfaced in late 17th century) have their lineage traced thru Amansie (even the records are clear that major asante areas like edwiso, agona etc are well known adanses who know and believe their lineage were from bono manso) hence part of adanse - denkyira in the 'olden past'. So if adanse - denkyira affirms their movement from Bono, how could this man be so stupid not to realize what lawyer Anokye projected.
If we have fools like this being given space in Ghana to speak to children why wouldn't arrogance and nepotistic behavior drive in "nkuraasefoc" country like Ghana.

Besides, the root of the Ayoko clan is from Bono, so how could be people be so stupid not to know or realize what lawyer Anokye said... No wonder Ghanaians are becoming dumper... Everywhere, people are now noticing how Ghanaian are getting timid and dumper..
