  It will help if you get your facts first before distorting them. Now, Prempeh, never used the title "Otumfuo" when he was enthroned in 1888. In fact, none of our Asante Kings used the appellation "Otumfuo" from Osei Tutu, Opoku Ware, Kusi Obodom, Osei Kwadwo, Kofi Karikari right upt to Kwaku Dua.. It was the preserve of
  Akwamu Kings who had used "Otumfuo from 1690s. Otumfuo Ansa Sasraku 1699-1702 onwards. We Ashanti, adopted that after 1935. Nobody put a gun to Prempeh" s head to convert to Christianity, but he soon realised that his enormous annual human sacrifice to his River gods Tano, Antoa, Asuo yeboa etc were
  useless. After learning how to read and write, he willingly named his twin daughters after Queen Victoria. Lastly, names such as Joseph, Mary, Peter, George, Sarah, etc are not European nor English names. The Europeans adopted those biblical names themselves when they converted to Christianity. St
  George, is the patron saint of England and Portugal. He was neither Portuguese or English. Anybody called Brew in Ghana is a direct descendant of Richard Brew who settled at Anomabu in the 1700s.. The same is applicable to those called Pratt, Quist, Vanderpuye, or Griffiths Randolph....... Akufo Addo's wife. Again, get
  your facts first before distorting them.. CHEERS!
