Look, Ewes cannot claim ownership of anything concerning fetishism because "gods" are everywhere in the world. Okomfo Anokye hails from Awukugwa and nothing can change that.

@Pelicles, the sad thing
is, our history has been skewed for a long time. Okomfo Anokye, was from Akrokyere.not Awukugwa where he was held as a prisoner. You can respond to my commrnt and , I will tell you the names of his parents brother and sister. I have anthtopological evidence to support that. In a nutshell, he was from Adansi not Awukugwa as our daft historians taught us at school. The same crap goes with cocoa , it is a compelete lie that Tettteh Quarshie, was the first man who brought cocoa to the Gold Coast.He was successful in maintaining his farm and cocoa plant but the Portuguese who brought us pepper, corn, guava, pawpaw,casssava, plantain Avocado,etc which we never had in Aftica did that long before Mr Quarshie. These are facts,something that Peliicles hates . Come back for historical facts..Yes, we never ever had those crops on African soil. Indisputasble fsct,

Only an Ashantiman will admire this Kpeve trickster asking them to lookup in the sky whilst pullibg out a fake stool from behind a box telling them to look down with them all admiring his tricks of a golden stool.

If he has received a few talk true slaps there and then the truth of this fake Golxen Stool will have been spilled along with a few broken tooth to teach him lesson to stop playing tricks on innocent people.

But this has always been the behaviour of the brothers from Kpeve. Bunch of tricksters and shylocks. We kniw them!

Stop twisting history. Nzemas, Ewes, and Dagombas were not part of the Denkyera war. Only those who were under maltreatment came together to form Asante to fight and defeat Denkyira. After the victory over Denkyira, a faction of the Dagombas invited Asantes to help them in their battle against another faction of Dagombas which they did and united all the Dagombas. That's what made Dagombas allies of Asantes and earned the name Dagomba Kotoko. The Nzemas became allies with Asante under Asantehene Osei Tutu 1st when they formed a friendship treaty and that earned Nzemas the name Nzema Kotoko. The Anlos became allies to Asante under Asantehene Kofi Karikari. The Anlos invited Asantes to help them fight against another Ewe group, and that formed their friendship.

Okay, Ewes are claiming Okomfo Anokye, Akuapims are also claiming him, some Asantes claim he was a pure Asante, Nzema are also claiming him, hmmmm, we need to find his carcass and do DNA to find out his true Identity. What I don’t get is how other tribes are trying so hard to discredit anything history related to Asantes , and claiming all glory from Asantes, for instance, Akuapems claims Anokye brought the golden stool from Akuapem, some Bono people claims Asantes stole it from Techiman, meanwhile when Asantes fought Techiman, Osei Tutu whose era Asantes got golden stool was long gone, Bono refugees Dormaa claims, Golden Stool belongs to their cousins Jaman, recently, Denkyira and Nzema are ialso making claim for the same thing, is this envy, hatred or simply stupidity on the part of those making all these claims?.

(2) Subject to the regulations, a patient who is on leave or has been transferred to an approved home under section 37 or 38 may, if the conditions of the patient's leave or transfer are not being met, be recalled

(4) If a patient detained in a designated facility leaves the designated facility under the circumstances set out in subsection (1) while charged with an offence or liable to imprisonment or considered by the director to be likely to endanger the patient's safety or the safety of others, even though the period of 60 days has elapsed since the date the patient left the designated facility, the director may issue a warrant in the prescribed form for the patient's apprehension and transportation to a designated facility and the warrant is authority for the patient's apprehension and transportation to the designated facility.
(5) If a patient escapes during the course of transfer to a designated facility, both the director of the designated facility to which the patient was being transferred and the director of the designated facility from which the patient was being transferred may issue a warrant under this section.
(6) A patient detained in a designated facility who leaves the designated facility under the circumstances set out in subsection (1) may be apprehended for the purpose of returning the patient to the facility, within 48 hours from the time the patient leaves, even though no warrant has been issued under this section.

MINOR/THIRD PARTY PLATFORMS

American Party Platform of 1856

February 21, 1856
[APP Note: Also known as the "Know Nothing Party".]

1. An humble acknowledgment to the Supreme Being, for his protecting care vouchsafed to our fathers in their successful Revolutionary struggle, and hitherto manifested to us, their descendants, in the preservation of the liberties, the independence, and the union of these States.

2. The perpetuation of the Federal Union and Constitution, as the palladium of our civil and religious liberties, and the only sure bulwarks of American Independence.

3. Americans must rule America; and to this end native-born citizens should be selected for all State, Federal and municipal offices of government employment, in preference to all others. Nevertheless,

4. Persons born of American parents residing temporarily abroad, should be entitled to all the rights of native-born citizens.

5. No person should be selected for political station (whether of native or foreign birth), who recognizes any allegiance or obligation of any description to any foreign prince, potentate or power, or who refuses to recognize the Federal and State Constitutions (each within its sphere) as paramount to all other laws, as rules of political action.

6. The unqualified recognition and maintenance of the reserved rights of the several States, and the cultivation of harmony and fraternal good will between the citizens of the several States, and to this end, non-interference by Congress with questions appertaining solely to the individual States, and non-intervention by each State with the affairs of any other State.

7. The recognition of the right of native-born and naturalized citizens of the United States, permanently residing in any territory thereof, to frame their constitution and laws, and to regulate their domestic and social affairs in their own mode, subject only to the provisions of the Federal Constitution, with the privilege of admission into the Union whenever they have the requisite population for one Representative in Congress: Provided, always, that none but those who are citizens of the United States, under the Constitution and laws thereof, and who have a fixed residence in any such Territory, ought to participate in the formation of the Constitution, or in the enactment of laws for said Territory or State.

8. An enforcement of the principles that no State or Territory ought to admit others than citizens to the right of suffrage, or of holding political offices of the United States.

9. A change in the laws of naturalization, making a continued residence of twenty-one years, of all not heretofore provided for, an indispensable requisite for citizenship hereafter, and excluding all paupers, and persons convicted of crime, from landing upon our shores; but no interference with the vested rights of foreigners.

10. Opposition to any union between Church and State; no interference with religious faith or worship, and no test oaths for office.

11. Free and thorough investigation into any and all alleged abuses of public functionaries, and a strict economy in public expenditures.

12. The maintenance and enforcement of all laws constitutionally enacted until said laws shall be repealed, or shall be declared null and void by competent judicial authority.

13. Opposition to the reckless and unwise policy of the present Administration in the general management of our national affairs, and more especially as shown in removing "Americans" (by designation) and Conservatives in principle, from office, and placing foreigners and Ultraists in their places; as shown in a truckling subserviency to the stronger, and an insolent and cowardly bravado toward the weaker powers; as shown in reopening sectional agitation, by the repeal of the Missouri Compromise; as shown in granting to unnaturalized foreigners the right of suffrage in Kansas and Nebraska; as shown in its vacillating course on the Kansas and Nebraska question; as shown in the corruptions which pervade some of the Departments of the Government; as shown in disgracing meritorious naval officers through prejudice or caprice; and as shown in the blundering mismanagement of our foreign relations.

14. Therefore, to remedy existing evils, and prevent the disastrous consequences otherwise resulting therefrom, we would build up the "American Party" upon the principles herein before stated.

15. That each State Council shall have authority to amend their several constitutions, so as to abolish the several degrees and substitute a pledge of honor, instead of other obligations, for fellowship and admission into the party.

16. A free and open discussion of all political principles embraced in our Platform.

Okomfo Anokye is not from Notse who migrated to Asante. Neither is he a twin. The great Okomfo Anokye is from Awukugwa in Akwuapem within the eastern region of Ghana. His real name is Agyei Frempong. His father was called Annor, and when as a kid he started doing wonders, his mother would call the husband, Annor Bekye a guan language meaning Annor come and see. With time Anokye became his name.A visit to Awukugwa would show his birth place and things he did centuries ago still in place

Anlos and Ashantis have been friends for a long long time.
We are not here today to write about the connections between Anlos and Ashantis, but to dispel the notion that Etse Akplormada came from Nortse.
Etse Akplormada was the brother of Atsu Akplormada, and they were twins, however they belong to the Etsiame clan which was among the clans in Ghana before the migration of people from Nortse to Ghana.
The people from Nortse are said to speak the Togo Ehwe dialect. Thus their arrival in Anlo enable them to adopt the Anlo dialect.
The Edo of Atsu and Etse became the grandmother of the Eklevie clan and as well their goddess. Her shrine is at Anloga, were there are a lot of members of the Eklevie clan.
Atsu's defendants are found mostly in Etsiame, Asarame and Atsiavi.
