Anokye is a Kyerepog name meaning "Anor look" He was assigned Agona as his home town when he left Denkyira during Ansah Sasraku's era to visit Nana Osei Tutu of the Ashanti. Anokye's father was Agya Anor and Mother was Maame Kubi. Komfo Anokye was originally called Kwame Frimpong. Anokye is a pure Guan to put the records straight but neither Akan nor Ewe.

Yes, the Asante Empire resisted the British-led abolition of the slave trade and slavery, viewing it as essential to their economy and society. As a powerful inland state, Asante engaged in the transatlantic slave trade and later domestic slavery, but their economic and political power was built on control of trade routes and captive labor. Asantehene Osei Bonsu articulated their opposition in 1820, citing the slave trade's importance when pressured by British officials to abolish it for humanitarian reasons.
Reasons for Asante Opposition
Economic Importance: The Asante state's wealth and political power were heavily dependent on the domestic slave trade and the export of enslaved people.

I'm beginning to doubt the whole story about Kimfo Anokye. How many more tribes are going to claim him. I'm claiming that he was from Mankessim.

The fact is that Togbui Tsali lived in Asarame, near Atsiavi. Togbui Tsali is a member of the Tsame clan, and there is no history that the Tsames lived in Togo and migrated to the present Ghana from there.
There are some Anlo clans that lived in Anlo before those who migrated from Togo arrived.
Thus, Togbui Tsali never migrated from Togo, if there is a case it will be his grandfather that migrated from Togo.
The fact also remains that the Anlo dialect was spoken by Anlos in the Eshime and the coast before those who migrated from Togo arrived.
