Check his height first, if he is very short then it’s true he is from the Akan lineage but if he is above 4 feet then his lineage goes beyond that, he is likely to come from Frafra or Mossi background.

Yes may descend from other akans but not ashanti bcos the ashantis did not suffer slavery that much. The ashantis were rather the slave masters who attacked others and sold them to slavery. Its about time the African diasporians stop linking themselves to ashantis cos it's a historical fallacy just like the present day Israelis claiming to be Jews from the tribe of judah?? Anomaly!!

450yrs ago Ayigbes and most Northerners were not Ghanaians. We are only trying to accommodate them now, but NDC is making it difficult for us to accept them. Soon we will go by Grenada's President description.

Asantes are the biggest slave traders in the western African hemisphere. The white people are not living in fantasy like the bush Asante dwarfs, they kept all their trade records which shows the number one sellers of slaves was the Asante people who wanted guns to keep fighting their stupid tribal wars. These same toilet eating monkeys were even against the abolition of the slave trade

What does this say about what Wode Maya put out some time ago- that those who were sold into slavery were largely brought from the northern part of the now Ghana??

Salaga slave market to be precise. The Asantes formed an alliance with the samori and his slave raiders in the unholy slave trading alliance

Yes, the Asante Empire was against the British-led abolition of the slave trade and resisted efforts to end it. They viewed slavery as a natural and long-standing institution and engaged in the practice of acquiring slaves through warfare, purchase, and other means. The empire actively resisted British attempts to abolish the transatlantic slave trade, which was officially outlawed in 1874 by the British.
Philosophical stance: Asante society viewed slavery as a natural institution and a normal part of the social and economic order.
Economic dependence: The empire was heavily involved in the slave trade, which was a significant source of wealth and labor for them.
Resistance to abolition: The Asante Empire actively resisted British pressure to abolish the slave trade, leading to conflict between the two powers.
Timeline of abolition: The British ultimately abolished the transatlantic slave trade in the Asante Empire in 1874, which forced an end to the practice within their territory.

In exchange for guns and other European goods, the Ashanti sold gold and slaves, usually either captured in war or accepted as tribute from conquered peoples
