Akans are decendant of Northern and central Africa. Some came from Sudan while others came from Chard. Actually Akan are very dark skin people. For instance, if you look at Ashantis, the original ones are very dark skin. Compare to Nubians, you can easily tell that, they are from Sudan. As well as Akyims, Kwahus, and so on. But if you come to fantis, they are also very dark skin people, but because of their mixture with some real Ghanaians, and Europeans, they look slightly brownish or light skin people.In reallity, they are part of Nibians too. Who are originally from between Chad and Sudan.

Shamu, yours complements Clement's account. You re talking of an earlier migration from the Nubian lands to present Mali from where the descent southwards to present day Ghana. Clement, thanks for this history. It is a pity that our so-called top historians failed to tell the true history of Ghana. A history binding Akans to the northern tribes, binding Akans to Eves, binding Ghanaian tribes to Guinea and Mali; binding OUR TRIBES TO Nigeria in a coasterly and sahelian westerly migration. And the more recent blood relations between Ashanti royalty and northern tribes, as well as Ashanti military cooperation with the Dagomba Kingdom. Why is the youth being denied of this crucial history? Why allow a situation where people can insult their own kith and kin in complete ignorance of their historical blood links.How come the Mossi of Burkina Faso have not forgotten their blood relations with the Mamprussi and Grunse tribes of Ghana and yet Ghanaians can forget one another. 'Vanity of vanities'. Disservice to the youth and national cohesion. ;SANKOFA,please"Long live Africa.

If it is true that the Akans are dark in complexion why the tanning of the skin and why the measure to disassociate them from the others who migrated from the same source with them.We are being fools in this country.The writer claims that Biafrans were killed and maimed through innocense.Why then did the bomb throwing against Nkrumah and Ghana by the fore fathers of NPP, and still using uncalled for means to dethrone the elected Head of the nation.

Where did this idiot get the 60% of exports coming from Western Region? Gold is the biggest foreign earning natural resource eaning Ghana about 4 billion a year and 90% of it comes from Ashanti region. Tarkwa gold mines produce less than 7% of gold exports. Cocoa is the next export that earns Ghana about 2 billion dollars a year and Ashanti region produce as much cocoa as Western Region if not more. Oil earns Ghana less than one billion dollars so where did this Dagarti Sangaparee the Ashanti hater who has never been back to Wa since he migrated to Obuasi in the 60's to work at the then Obuasi goldmines get this 60% figure from?.
This Sangaparee hates the Asantes so much he is even trying to give the Ashanti region its due as the Region that exports more products than any other Region in Ghana.
This idiot is even telling false story about how the Victor Owusu "Inward looking" comment came about. Victor Owusu did not make that comment when campaigning but rather that comment came about in Parliament in the early 70's when Progress Party was in power. It was during a response to Dr Agama, the then opposition leader in Parliament who accused the PP of discriminating against the Ewes in a labour dispute. It was then that Victor Owusu retorted than, an Ewe cannot accuse any tribe of being inward looking, in essence implying that Ewes are inward looking.
It is also a blatant lie to say that the UP tradion has never been led by anybody apart from an Asante or an Akyem. Who is this idiot fooling?
Prime Minister Kofi Abrefa Busiah was a Bono Royal from Wenchi whose brother was the King of Wenchi when he was the Prime Minister.
Sangaparee should stop telling lies and retire to his Wa village instead of at the age of 74, this idiot is still writing hate mails he calls an article.

Because of your personal hatred for Asantes, you intentionally took them out of the migration down south to modern Ghana. "Ntafo" is Akan word for twins and it was originally used to describe the migrants from Taani, a popular northern trading outpost by the Arabs from middle east. These people migrated in "twos" and looked like twins "Ntaafuo" or "Taanifuo". Learn your history well, you divider of people. The Akans consist of all those who say "me se" (I say). You don't even know that the Nzemas are Akans do you? Nzulezo means "nsuoso" (on water). Nzu is "nsu" (water). If you want to learn history, I'll be glad to teach you.

SANGAPAREE, I AM VERY SORRY YOUR NAME SOUND LIKE A DAGAARE MAN BECAUSE I KNOW DAGAARES TO BE WISE AND REASONING PEOPLE.
YOU ALWAYS POST ARTICLES TO GHANAWEB THAT ALWAYS SEEM TO DIVIDE THE NATION. IT IS THAT COMMUNIST INFERIOR TACTICS NDC USES AS A PARTY. WHY ARE YOU STAYING IN ASHANTI REGION (OBUASI) AND CHOOSE TO HATE ASHANTIS. YOU ARE INTELLIGENTLY PRAISING OTUMFO OSEI TUTU II OUTWARDLY BUT WITHIN YOU, YOU HATE HIM. YOU AND YOUR DESCENDENTS WILL CONTINUE TO BEG BEFORE YOU EAT BECAUSE OF YOUR EVIL THOUGHTS AND YOUR HIDDEN AGENDA. ARE YOU NOT ASHAMED AT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO GHANA NOW? IF NDC HAD WON THE ELECTION GENUINELY, WOULD THEY HAVE BROUGHT ABOUT 500 PEOPLE TO JOIN THE SUIT TO PROLONG THE COURT CASE? SIMPLE COMMON SENSE WILL TELL YOU THAT NO SERIOUS GENUINE INVESTOR WILL COME AND INVEST IN A COUNTRY WHERE ELECTION PETITION IS IN SUPREME COURT. INVESTORS ARE NOT FOOLS LIKE YOUR TYPE.
WRITE SOMETHING THAT WILL SEEK TO UNITE THE COUNTRY AND DON'T ALWAYS PROPAGATE HATRED. IF SOMEBODY IS SAYING WE SHOULD USE TWI AS A NATIONAL LANGUAGE, IS IT WRONG? IS THE TWI NOT LINQUA FRANCA OF THE COUNTRY NOW. GO TO TAMALE, WA AND BOLGA AND SEE WHICH LANGUAGE CAN BE GENERALLY UNDERSTOOD BY MOST OF THE PEOPLE. ABOUT 70 TO 80% OF GHANA'S POPULATION TODAY CAN UNDERSTAND TWI IF EVEN THEY CANNOT SPEAK IT FREQUENTLY.
JEALOUSY GO SHAME!!! DIVIDE AND RULE WILL NEVER HELP ANYBODY IN GHANA, YOU EDUCATED FOOL!!!!

What the fuck is the meaning of Fante Brong? Tell us which of the Akan tribes don't call the Notherners and the Ewes as Ntafo and Pepefo?

I AGREE WITH THE WRITER ON MOST ISSUES RAISED IN HIS ARTICLE.
THE SLAVE TRADE(I CANNOT EXPLAIN HERE FOR LACK OF SPACE)DID NOT ALLOW VARIOUS KINGDOMS TO DEVELOP A UNIFORM LANGUAGE LIKE MOST OF THE DEVELOPED COUNTRIES.
IT IS NOT COINCIDENTAL THAT MOST OF THE DEVELOPED COUNTRIES HAVE 90-95% OF THE CITIZENS SPEAKING ONE LANGUAGE.
DON'T FORGET THAT DIFFERENT LANGUAGES PREVENTED THE TOWER OF BABEL BEING COMPLETED.
HOWEVER GIVEN THE CURRENT CLIMATE OF TRIBAL SENTIMENTS AND DIVISIONS(JUST BECAUSE WE SPEAK DIFFERENT DIALECTS)THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE(THE VERY CAUSE OF OUR DIVISIONS)IS A LESSER EVIL AS IT IS NOW "UNIFYING" LANGUAGE.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER ONE TRIBE WILL ALLOW ANOTHER TRIBES LANGUAGE TO BE IMPOSED THEM IN MODERN GHANA.BUT I AM VERY SURE THAT THE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES SPOKEN BY THE VARIOUS TRIBES, WOULD HAVE EVOLVED THROUGH TRADE AND TRIBAL WARS,TRIBAL ALLIANCES,KINGDOMS AND EVENTUALLY NATIONHOOD WITH ONE LANGUAGE,JUST LIKE IT HAPPENED IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES,BUT FOR THE SLAVE TRADE WHICH HALTED THIS PROCESS.YOU MAY DISAGREE BUT WE ARE ALL ENTITLED TO OUR OPINIONS.

Ntafo is not a tribe . When the northners came to the south,they moved in groups especially in twos . Hence they were given the name "NTAAFO"means Twins in Akan language. The northners have taken the word as disrespect from The Akans. Almost all the northners underwent bathing ,shaving and taking lice from their hair ect ect at the outskirt of Kumasi (Ntete ye) before entered. The name Ntafo was given to by Akans and all are from sudan(dark skin person).

This comes straight from the worst history book published in Ghanaian "A short of History of Ghana."
Without even wasting time,on oral historical inacurracies, as we all know, this Singapare Clements thinks he knows all, he has never written anything progressive other than promoting hatred towards the NPP before.
He peddles lies about, and spread his hatred amongst tribes in Ghana instead of promoting unity. The NPP has never promoted a civil war in Ghana.
It has rather opted for a free democracy, which has eluded Ghana since the early 1960s. The CPP declared a one-party state, the only way to clear a dictarship is through a coup, which took place in Ghana in 1966. All what people in Ghana need is freedom and justice - fairness. If the last election was without blemish
why should there be tension in Ghana?
Mr Singapare, let your pen/keyboard promote unity in Ghana, rather than hatred.

Ewia bia as my Ashantis people will say tu tu bra
Why are some people interested in senseless issues. Instead of talking about Unity they talk about tribe. Look Akans are the majority so whatever you do they will be in the lead
So what, put all the akan population together is still less than half of my tribe.

IF I HAD A GUN, FOOLS LIKE YOU WONT EXIST. GOD HELP YOU. PEOPLE LIKE YOU KEEP DIVIDING OUR NATION. MAY GOD DEAL WITH YOU
Prof, stick to what the Akan people are and what their origins are. You are certainly not God and will not be able to add 600 years to O O T II life.
TAKE UR PEPESEM AWAY
Absolute nonsense. Dr. Kofi Abrefa Busia was from the Brong Ahafo and they do not consider themselves Ashanti's. The Danquah Busia party has a tradition of seniority and all the rest have to do is to join in time to inherit ...

Great comment
I AGREE WITH THE WRITER ON MOST ISSUES RAISED IN HIS ARTICLE.
THE SLAVE TRADE(I CANNOT EXPLAIN HERE FOR LACK OF SPACE)DID NOT ALLOW VARIOUS KINGDOMS TO DEVELOP A UNIFORM LANGUAGE LIKE MOST OF THE DEVELOPED COUNTRIES.

Ntafo is not a tribe . When the northners came to the south,they moved in groups especially in twos . Hence they were given the name "NTAAFO"means Twins in Akan language. The northners have taken the word as disrespect from T ...

Ok. It could be. But most from the north consider it(NTAFO)as disrespect or insult which is not.
Call an Ashanti by that name and see what he'll do to you, if you say it is not disrepectful.
Yes but the Ashantis are not from the Northern Territories.It is like saying B.A. to the Brong Ahafo man.Some take it to be insulting.It is not but the way it is said makes it look like it is.
Yes but it is the way it is said.Normally there is nothing disrespect saying Ntafo but they way the Akans twist their mouth in saying that makes it look insulting.I am not bothered because I know what it means.
GOD BLESS U BROTHER.
You fulllllllll, you want the Asantes and Akyems to be eliminated eh! Ok, Don't you know you are rather eliminating yourselves by killing yourselves up there. God punish you and your thought. Thief.

'' The real tribes in Ghana are the Northerners, including the AKANS as one body, the Gas, Ewes and Krobos totalling FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''
ABOABA GO TO YOUR MAMA!
Probably the most compelling and reasoned piece yet by Mr Saangare who, by the way, has built a solid reputation of attracting to himself praise and hatred in equal measure.
Thank you very much. The so called Asante-Akyims don't even know their history. Fellow Ghanaians, Ashantis are Northners, their ancestors are from the North.
u wish
This Akan tribe must be erased from the Ghanaian ethic groups. They are not intelligent and we dont need weak pple in the country which mahama seeks to build.
I will sell u in slavery
This comes straight from the worst history book published in Ghanaian "A short of History of Ghana."
