    @ Trump, what you read are historical facts. Prempeh 1 was a horrible man. Human Sacrifice, Slave Raiding and Trading was his strongest selling point. His mother was a blood thirsty Jezeebel who goaded her son to do dreadful ...

    If Asante could still beat you well well and take you as slaves, then they were smarter, stronger and tactical than your useless and inferior tribes. Asante will always be smarter than you and your henchmen. Jealousy and infe ...

    IF ASHANTIS HAD AGREED AND SUCCUMBED TO THE EUROPEANS LIKE THE REST OF THE TRIBES IN GHANA ? WE WILL STILL BE SLAVING.

  • Kweku Tsin 2 months ago

    Did you even read this story? Feel free to pretend but Prempeh's imprisonment caused Asantes to "SUCCUM TO" British rule. With this nonsense let me remind you that YOU DID NOT EARN YOUR INDEPENDENCE. We gave you your independ ...

    You don’t know the Ashanti history my friend.
    Tell me when did the Ashanti kingdom become part of the British colony ? Tnx.

  • Kweku Tsin 2 months ago

    I am not going to argue with a fool because most Asantes have a false exaggerated impression of themselves. Even their own history (story) about the Golden Stool, Anokye sword in the ground is false. But go to YouTube and sea ...

    Another clue, since you are stupid. The Asantes were part of the gold coast contingent that fought under the British colony in WW2. WHY WERE ASANTES THERE IF THEY WERE NOT PART OF THE GOLD COAST?

  • Kweku Tsin 2 months ago

    You cannot serve two gods. You cannot predicate your existence on the Golden Stool from OKOMFO Anokye and pretend to serve Gold. It's like Israelis worshipping the Golden Calf and pretending to serve God.

    Isn't it only savages and backward people who do human sacrifice? And when they get up they say people are envious of them. Aaaaah. What is enviable about Asantes? Aaaaah. Tweeea.

    God bless Asanteman. Our Forebears put up resistance, but they were overwhelmed. Every Asante should be proud and ignore all the envious and inferior animals pretending to be humans. Piaww!!!!
