    No wonder except for a few skirmishes against Yaa Asantewaa who was herself betrayed by an Ashanti chief, all other chiefs "peacefully surrendered our sovereignty". Fast forward & we now have a constitution that simultaneousl ...

    Why? Because at least the British did not add more state assets as bribes to the chiefs besides imposing them as "undeserving" absentee landlords!!!

    It was composed by Ephraim Amu from Peki but the original song was composed in Twi not Ewe. Get your facts right.

  • Kojo S 7 years ago

    I am from Peki and know the family. The song was ORIGINALY in Ewe. He later translated it to Akyem Twi-to make it easier for others to learn. Akans always have problems with certain Ewe alphabets.That was the reason. You bett ...

  • CYBERGHANA 7 years ago

    And what do British historians have to say about this colonial relationship with ex-colonies in Africa?

  • Prof Lungu 7 years ago

    A.R. Gomda,
    We do not see any critical perspective here?

    The "governors" did all that, and so what?

    You've provided what is obviously a very sanitized version of "governorships" in the Gold Coast. It is clear to us you ...

    Ashanti's say they came from holes, right? No human originated from holes. Where did they come from to live holes? This is where the perchant of crookedness came from.

  • AKRANTIE-BINI-EATER 7 years ago

    Asantes are from Holes.It is true. Why dont you believe them? They are from there with their RATS. They feed on the RATS-SHITS.
