THis is how the African PHD historian do. They shout too loud over nothing. Let's ask this Madam historian, who discovered the source of the River Niger? Her obvious answer may be some strange European. The question is; Were there no Africans living and carrying on farming, fishing and other economic activities at the source of the river prior to Mungo Park? Let's wise up and not change the basis of historical propositions.

Why are some ignorant fools insulting this Prof? She said nothing new and, as a historian, just repeating the facts. Even Prof. Adu Boahen wrote about how the missionaries were nursing seedlings at Aburi and trying to get the locals to adopt cocoa farming without much success. That was happening long before Tetteh Quarshie brought some smuggled seeds from Fernado Po, where plantations already existed.

Who created the Slave market of Abonse in the central region? Check your history records. Some educated African Americans don't like Africans because they know our ancestors sold their forefathers into slavery. Find out from Asantehene, Denkyirahene, Akwamuhene as to who sold some of their conquered people into slavery.

Ghanaians don't want to read and do research.The records are there to prove so what is your worry? Who did you think designed the flag of Ghana? It's not Theodosia OKOH as purported to be in our history books. Ethiopia had used the flag with the tricolours : red gold green way back in the form of triangular shapes but in 1897 they changed the colours into rectangular shapes with the same interpretation as by Theodosia Oko word for word [verbatimly]. The black star was first designed by Marcus Garvey, a shipping merchant in the USA in 1922 as an emblem for his company:BLACK STAR SHIPPING LINES. The BOLIVIAN had used the red gold green flag since 1825 with the same interpretation of the colours as purported to by Theodosia Oko when her parents were not born. Tetteh Quarshie is not the first person to be disproved by research, even in the sciences lot have been disproved.

Brother, you rightly, reason like an academic. Unfortunately, not everyone reasons like you. Some people cannot understand that facts established and accepted over centuries, can be overturned through research. Hence someone can go to the extremes of calling an accomplished researcher a "bitch", without bothering to ascertain the basis of her thesis. If she asserts that cocoa was originally introduced in the Gold Coast by Dutch Missionaries, why should that be interpreted as worshiping the white man? How would we describe a person who asserts that academic education was brought to the Gold Coast by the missionaries; a worshipper of the white man? In academia, if one disagrees with the findings of another person's research, one conducts one's own research, to refute the former. But our people respond to a person they disagree with by, calling him/her names. One would be surprised to discover that, those insulting this accomplished academic, do not possess even a basic first university degree.

Trust me our Academia is on the take through research grants to pursue the colonialist perfidy against the struggle of our nation for dignity and economic freedom. I have seen them in Agric research in support of GMO,in economics in support of structural adjustment and the Washington Consensus and the now sustainable development goals that they promote as poverty reduction strategy when in fact it is putting us on the "dole" or welfare colonialism I also see it in political science where the study of decolonization that is narrative of our development history is ignored.Our professors in this mode are irrelevant because education without purpose is meaningless.

Is this a story too hard to digest? What credit has she taken from Tetteh Quarshie to be insulted?

Odartey Lamptey thought he had three children by His first wife of many years. A strange destiny creeps into their union and it became necessary to conduct DNA to ascertain the truth. As fate will have it it turned out that those kids who'd been calling him dad were never his children. There was document to prove that. Are you saying because he's been their dad all those years the DNA report should be ignored? Food for thought and your guess is as good as mine.

Akosua Perbi sees nothing worthwhile in our history, having been colonially-miseducated. She's made a lifetime career of distorting the backward, historical practice of feudal servitude into an ideology of "indigenous slavery" that then excuses Europeans of any guilt over the transatlantic slave trade. And she has thoroughly enjoyed being the heaven-sent darling of white historical revisionists and slavery-deniers.
This brazen nonsense about Teteh Quashie follows in the same revisionist path of the eurocentric lie sadly taught in our schools that the European slaver introduced plantain, cassava, yam, pawpaw etc to our land! What did our ancestors eat then? Human heads and blood no doubt! The fact that Africa, South America (and also the Indian sub-continent used to be one land mass seems to escape the deliberations of the eurocentric academics and their patrons.

Ghanaians don't want to read and do research.The records are there to prove so what is your worry? Who did you think designed the flag of Ghana? It's not Theodosia OKOH as purported to be in our history books. Ethiopia had used the flag with the tricolours : red gold green way back in the form of triangular shapes but in 1897 they changed the colours into rectangular shapes with the same interpretation as by Theodosia Oko word for word [verbatimly]. The black star was first designed by Marcus Garvey, a shipping merchant in the USA in 1922 as an emblem for his company:BLACK STAR SHIPPING LINES. The BOLIVIAN had used the red gold green flag since 1825 with the same interpretation of the colours as purported to by Theodosia Oko when her parents were not born. Tetteh Quarshie is not the first person to be disproved by research, even in the sciences lot have been disproved.

You may be right too because my mother also used to tell us the same thing especially after we had prepared our baskets and palm kernel for school. However I know the name as Mohr, but not Mole, and I know the orchard which was often referred to as Mohr turo, to wit, Mohr's garden or orchard. Remnants of this ancient orchard can still be seen at Akropong close to, or almost opposite the main gate of the Presbyterian Training College. A portrait picture of then Rev.

But we have been made to believe that no Europeans were involved in slavery but we went to the whites and sold ours to them. What NONSENSE!!!
Hear we are, the whites are at it again, using our own to distort our history about Tetteh Quarshie, to set the agenda for benefit of Europeans taken over our cocoa farms and industry!!!!!!
DON'T WE GET IT? THEY ALWAYS USE OUR OWN TO DISTORT THE FACTS OF OUR HISTORY TO TAKE OVER OUR REALITY OF LIFE!!!!

WELL MY VERDICT TETTEHQUASHIE HAS IT! NOW LET US JUSTAPOSE THIS TO WHO FOUND OIL FOR GHANA BETWEEN PREZ. KUFUOR AND TSATSU TSIKATA , MR TSIKATA WAS ALREADY PROSPECTNG FOR OIL AND IT WAS NOT A SECRET THAT UNDER HIS EXPLORATION ESCAPADES GHANA STRUCK OIL, BUT IN THE CASE OF OIL IT IS EITHER THERE IS OIL IN THE COUNTRY OR WHETHER THERE WAS NO OIL, SO THE ANSWER IS THERE WAS OIL DISCOVERED IN GHANA !SO MR PREZ. KUFUOR DID NOT FIND OIL FOR GHANA , THE MECHANISM WAS ALREADY THERE WORKING AND SO MUCH MORE OIL WAS FOUND UNDER HIS WATCH! VERDICT IS TSATSU FOUND OIL FOR GHANA!

Why is it that every good thing was discovered, invented or brought into existence by the white man. Are we saying that the blacks never did anything good in the history of our world? It's not right to insult her and I condemn it but we will not accept this so-called correction of history. For once, let's behave like other races do, thus to defend their own even if it's undue. No white will correct history to credit the black man at the expense of his own. For all you know, most if these discoveries were made by blacks but the white man sat on them and never wrote any book about them but later twisted the truth. What sort of master will credit his slave for very good thing the salve does and behave as if he the master is not important? Let those who have been brainwashed wake up from their dreams and realise the harm these whites have caused and continue to cause to blacks and assisted by our own black brothers.

In Ghana all historians have misapplied history, for not telling the truth or tell half truths from soothsayers, witches or legends from fetishes or "my mother" and so on. From, FK Buah, Adu Boahen all in between to Prof A. Perbi today no two Ghanaian historians say the same thing or agree. Why is it so?
Excuse me Prof Perbi, when we're you born and why do you think it is your mother who can write Ghana's history because she tells you to do something nicely like Rev Haas. You did not tell us Rev Haas actually brought cocoa.
If the Basel mission wanted to bring cocoa or brought cocoa as you are saying they are such a big institution that Tetteh Quarshie was not going to stamp his name on the bringing of cocoa to Ghana.
As a researcher you can probe any thing you want but you conclusion should be consistent and valid with citations and proof.
Someone can also say the Bremen Mission brought cocoa to Ghana and what can you say about that?
Now the fact that Tetteh Quarshie worked for the said missionary means nothing. What was his job description. He was almost used as a slave or prisoner with no rights, under hard labour on farm in Fernando Po.
So how come his name shoots to the top as the one who brought cocoa?
Here is where it sounds interesting.
Even if the Basel Mission first cocoa to Ghana which might have been true and tried to grow them.
Did their Brazil cocoa survive? No. So you may be right but who made the first ever living, thriving, successful, cocoa to Ghana.
Voila! There you go it is the only and only one Tetteh Quarshie.
You know when a glass is half full another person will say it us half empty, this is where it gets tricky you need a test to see who is right
AND in this case test is put a live fish head in the half full area of the glass and put another fish with its tail in the half full area as see which fish will live or survive. The fish with the tall in the half full area will die and the fish with the head in the half full will survive. Meaning the half empty person is less conclusive than the half full person.
Hence, since Tetteh Quarshie's cocoa survived he is the hero of Ghana cocoa not any Basel Mission and the mission know that in their heart and faith.
Conclusion
Prof Perbi I am sorry you cannot correct history or rewrite history based on your mother telling you to clean stuff or be clean.

For Africans nothing good comes or initiated by African,
All the bad things are from Africa sad NEH?
I heard from a black so called doctor from Ghana yesterday that prostrate cancer affect blackpeople more to white people, very soon they will tell you that black skin is weaker than white skin.we don't learn and research so everything is dictated to them by white people.
Go to Europe and America and you will see those who die from skin,prostrate cancer, all kind of cancers. A white skin is always 10years older than black skin.
Why are they researching about the malenin in black skin,white blacks are fertile to white. They stay in the sun to tan(darken ) their skin and turn around to tell you that your skin is not good so bleach it,and out of ignorance our ladies follow suit. Oh Africa no wonder God says my people perish for lack of knowledge. He also say they wicked one turn everything outside down.so if you want to know the truth in this world turn things up and you will know the truth.
In the Bible where is written Ethiopia they write ( Cush or cushite )
Tunisia (Cyrene)
Lybia (phut or put)
Egypt (mizraim)
Blackman (niger) read Bible book of ACTS 13 :1 .he was called niger meaning black man, that Simon also from Tunisia.
Because they don't want you to believe that there are no blacks in the Bible they use other names to deceive you .Moses married a CUSHITE (AN ETHIOPIAN WOMAN )that was spoken against by his sister Mariam, God got angry and smote her with leprosy, we should read and research, truth is one.

BACKGROUND
Many Ghanaians when asked who first introduced cocoa to Ghana would not hesitate in answering that it is Tetteh Quarshie a Ga who hails from Osu in Accra. Tetteh Quarshie travelled to the Fernando Po Island where he worked as a blacksmith. Upon returning to Ghana in 1879, he brought with him cocoa pods known as “AMELONADE” and planted them on his farm at Mampong (Akwapim).
Although Tetteh Quarshie is credited with the introduction of cocoa into the then Gold Coast, records have it that the Dutch missionaries planted cocoa in the coastal belt of Ghana as far back as 1815. The Basel missionaries also planted cocoa in Aburi – Eastern Region in 1857. The people of Gold Coast embraced cocoa farming wholeheartedly and within a few years, its production had spread from the Eastern Region to Ashanti, Brong Ahafo, Central and the Western Region.
The first export of cocoa from the Gold Coast took place in 1885 and by 1908, Ghana export had reached 20,000 metric tons. Ghana attained the Number One status in the production of cocoa in 1911 with 41,000 tons. In the 1920s, production increased to between 165,000 and 213,000 tons. Ghana’s contribution to the world’s total output then was 40%. Between 1976 and 1977, cocoa started experiencing a fall in its production.
Production began to decline between 1976 and 1977 due to the outbreak of pests and diseases like the capsid and swollen shoot viral disease and falling prices until it reached a 63 year low of 158,000mt in 1983/84.
MARKETING
From the early years until the late 1930’s the local merchants were the ones controlling the cocoa trade in the Gold Coast. Companies like the U.A.C., Paterson and Zochonis (PZ), G.B. Olivant, UTC, Cadbury and Fry as well as J. Lyons were importing foods into the Gold Coast and purchasing farm products such as coffee, cocoa, kennels, rubber and palm oil for export overseas.
All, however, was not smooth sailing. Difficulties arose as a result of Cadbury and Fry emphasizing on quality to lower prices and also supporting expansion of farms in various ways. This action did not go down well with other local merchant companies as they assumed Cadbury and Fry were monopolizing the industry. In 1937, farmers went on strike and refused to sell their cocoa on the grounds of low price for their produce.
The outcome of these developments resulted in the establishment of the Cocoa Marketing Board (CMB) in 1947 to provide marketing services to farmers. The Produce Buying Agency was given monopoly over the internal marketing of cocoa in the country in 1977. The sector was however liberalized in 1992 as a result of a World Bank policy. This led to the licensing of many companies (LBCs) including Kuapa Kokoo to do the internal marketing of cocoa.
The Cocoa Marketing Company performs the external marketing of cocoa.
PRICING
Ghana’s cocoa pricing has witnessed some changes over the years. Beginning from 1947 when the Cocoa Marketing Board (CMB) was established, together with Cocoa Marketing Company (CMB) to advise the Government as to what price to pay to the farmers every year, taking into consideration the world price and local factors.
At the moment pricing of cocoa is done by a committee known as Producer Price Review Committee (PPRC) which meets quarterly to review the cocoa prices payable to our farmers. This committee comprises of Government, Cocobod, LBCs and farmers representatives.

We need to respect facts and the truth irrespective of how hard they might be to take as a nation or a people. The truth of the matter is Haas first brought cocoa to Ghana but our beloved Agyiri commercialised the production of cocoa. It is the same with the computer. Although Bill Gates name is synonymous with the computer, it was Charles Cabbage who first invented the computer in 1833. Some historians may even argue that the idea of what is now called a computer started much earlier.
What is important is to recognise and appreciate everyone's role in bringing cocoa to Ghana.As Aristotle once aptly put it "if I have seen furthest than others, it is because I am seating on the shoulders of giants". It is the same with the wright brothers and the aeroplane. Do you think they will recognise an aeroplane today if they were to be raised from the dead? IdeS start small and they get bigger and better by others adding to it.
The brouhaha about what this lady has said is symptomatic of our general psyche as a nation. He don't appreciate value additions. In other words, we don't think that adding value to an original idea is a good thing worthy of celebration. That is why we only export raw materials without adding value to them by way of processing them. That is why a country with so much gold, we have no single recognised jeweller.
If we fail to recognise that Dr Agyiri's role is not diminished in the history of cocoa production in Ghana simply because someone else brought the cocoa to Ghana first despite the fact that he is recognised as the one responsible for its spread and commercial production, then how on earth will we encourage our young to embark on innovations using existing resources in Ghana?

Madam if u dont know someone even brought it before the so-call Reverend Hass maybe that was the only person u know in your so call history book, bcos the book might have been written by someone else who knows only one person (Rev Hass) but in really many people witnesses many people carrying cocoa alone the shores but maybe they did not put them in their record books. So pls what I want u to know is that Whether Rev Hass or Rev kotoko or Rev whoever Tetter Quarshie did the most important thing n he still remains the father of cocoa period. If we are going to trace any manufacturing we could see dat somebody das it first before someone copy n it goes on n on n on...... Then the person who will commercialized it will take the credit as in the case of Tetter Quarshie n any other manufacturer. Historians wise up!!!!!!

Why is it that every good thing was discovered, invented or brought into existence by the white man. Are we saying that the blacks never did anything good in the history of our world? It's not right to insult her and I condemn it but we will not accept this so-called correction of history. For once, let's behave like other races do, thus to defend their own even if it's undue. No white will correct history to credit the black man at the expense of his own. For all you know, most if these discoveries were made by blacks but the white man sat on them and never wrote any book about them but later twisted the truth. What sort of master will credit his slave for very good thing the salve does and behave as if he the master is not important? Let those who have been brainwashed wake up from their dreams and realise the harm these whites have caused and continue to cause to blacks and assisted by our own black brothers.

What she's saying isn't distortion of any history. It is clearly written in our history books and even in books we read in Primary or JSS. I remember this sentence in an English reading book we read at school very well.... "The Basel Missionaries from Switzerland brought cocoa to Ghana but this did not do well. Later Tetteh Quarshie...." So she is only restating facts already written which we were exposed to. We refuse to read or remember what we have already read.

Brothers and Sisters, please it is TRUE that our kinsman Tetteh Quarshie was not the FIRST PERSON who brought COCOA to the then Gold Coast. All the Earlier ones did not survive because the tree was not given the ATTENTION it Deserves. It was Tetteh Quarshie who actually had the expertise knowledge from Fernando Po thus was able to provide the attention and treatment that the Tree requires leading to its survival. The Records are there. Please let us stop chastising the Professor. Didn't we read that David Livingstone discovered the source of River Nile? What about Mungo Park discovering the source of River Niger? When Egypt was a world super power enslaving the Israelis and the Ancient Empires of Ghana, Mali Songai thrived over thousands of years ago, how can small boys of the 15th century era discover ancient business and economic centers?

It seem those who are commenting on this issue do not understand our lady professor, in our school we were thaught Tetteh Quarshie was the first person to bring cocoa to Ghana. The writers hide the truth about the first people to bring coca to Ghana where it was planted. Now I know that cultivating of coca in large Scale started with Tetteh Quarshie when he return from Fernando poo. Those who write should not distort fact they write as it is. There are many times I have corrected books sellers at lorry stations and in busses about festival of Fantes especially Gomua Many writers are telling our children that AKWANBO is festival of Gomua people which is wrong. The festival for Gomua is AHORBA Festival which is celebrated in May and August. AKWANBO is just one element in the festival. It is not their fault because many of the Gomua towns when they are making announcements for their they do not use AHORBA AFAHY3 for the announcement. There books which tell us how AHORBA festival came about but today Ghana these books are no more in our classrooms so will the children know?

History has to told as it really happened. This world is full of distorted tales of history which upon scholarly scrutiny falls apart. It had nothing to do with national pride or prestige. As an example, now there are European and American historians who are at work trying hard to erase Black Africa from the pages of history to prove that nothing good can come from what they disparaging call "the dark continent" not because we have darker skins but to they Africa is dark, it's children are dark at heart and backward, live like animals. Now they are even trying to rewrite human history. They now are postulating that humans did not first come from Africa but multiple places. How can they de-humanize Africa and Africans if their ancestors come from Africa, hence the multi origin theory which is gaining momentum. The Professor is just saying that cocoa had early trial by some others but their layouts fizzled until the arrival of the seeds Tetteh Quarshie brought into the country and found fertile soil in which it thrived. He, Tetteh Quarshie still remains the father of Ghana's cocoa industry. The fact remains the professor was right, others came before him and failed. The people posting all these negative comments please chill, the professor isn't taking anything from the legacy of Mr Quarshie. Please be informed because a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

This is informationI knew 47 years ago. Cocoa was limited to the backyard gardens of Basel missionaries in Akropong Akwapim where Tetteh Quarshie first came into contact withthe crop.
During his sojourn in Fernando Po, ( a portugueseterritory), he realised the commercial value of the crop and decided to farm it on his return.( in the same areahe had seen it thrive).

The fact that Tetteh Quarshie wasn't the first to bring the pods to Ghana doesn't make him less great a man! That was not the point Prof. Perbi was making! Education is failing us. Please have some decency when addressing people trying to set the records straight. It's the least you can do.

It's true, the Prof is right, I learnt in elementary history about 40 yrs ago that the Basel Missionaries were first to bring Cocoa into the Gold Coast but their Cocoa did not grew well, later on Tetteh Quarshie brought his cocoa from Ferna Dopo and his cocoa grew well and it was commerciallised. So spare the Prof. the insults.

Well said Prof. Akosua Perbi for correcting history. Truth is that which matches the facts. And what you said is the truth because it matches the facts.
Those arguing about this fact should go back and read: "West African Church History: Christian Missions and Church Foundations, 1482- 1919, Volume 1, by J. Kofi Agbeti."
I wish to state that what we were taught in our school was a twist of historical facts.
I do not think insulting such a learned historian and a mother is the best way to go this. She argued from an academic point of view. Hence, any disagreement should follow suit and not an insult.

Foolish.Tettey Quashie is a celebrated Ghanaian. You want to give credit to the white man again for something a black man did. Those missionaries were Mercenaries! God purnish you
Thank u for all the comments and how u have stripped naked this witch. I won't further insult her bcos comments address to her is enough to make her sensible.
Nothing new in this. Tetteh Quarshie planted the first surviving cocoa farm which started the cocoa plantation culture.
