This man will know my father, Kwesi Afoakwah, whom Nkrumah sent to liberate the rest of Africa from colonialism. I was born within that era, on the laps of Julius Nyerere at Agakhan Hospital, Dar-es-salaam. I crawled on the feet of all the new presidents of Africa in our residence in Nairobi, including those, then on the run - Oliver Tambo, Mandela, Mogabi etc I was named after all of them. My father was dubbed, “the son of Africa” among the tributes read by the dignitaries present at his funeral in 1991. I’d like to share what he wrote on Ghana and African history

Lawyer Anokye Frimpong is a knowledgeable colossus of our history and largely very objective. God bless him and thank you Kafui for sharing this.

This is simply AWESOME. LONG LIVE LAWYER FRIMPONG. You are a treasure for our beloved Ghana. This is the type of history that needs to be taught across Africa.

God bless you mr lawyer and kafui as He is blessing me here for such a wonderful education. Im speechless infact

The great Ewe man wrote most of the ewe and akan songs,unity is the way to prosper in ghana

Wow! What an amazing and delightful history Ghana has. This is what you treasure trove.

Will save this for the future. History doesn't lie. Thank you Kafui for this great guest

This is so brilliant and refreshing brother Kafui. What a treasure this man is. Does he have any books? We, as Ghanaians, have only one founder, and that's Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. ❤

I love this man Papaa long life

Thank you Prof well and undisputed presentation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺👍👍👍

I just love this man. I can listen to him forever

Most grateful to the learned Lawyer Anokye Frimpong. I have really enjoyed the narrative and humbly wants to add some few facts. * Much of the information we know of the Western Sudanese empires, especially Ghana, comes from travellers and traders from the Ahmoravid empire. The Ahmoravids were Tuaregs and Berbers who converted to Islam and subsequently formed the Ahmoravid empire. The Ahmoravid empire had a common border with Ghana and continued to the Western Sahara, Morocco and later Spain ( Iberian peninsula, which they called Andalus). Infact, the Akan word for money, Sika, was the Ahmoravid word for minted gold. According to the Ahmoravid travellers, the official title of the King of Ghana was GANA. I believe it was NANA that they heard as as GANA, since most languages around the world, minus Akan, stress on the first syllable of a word with the stress being on the second syllable in Akan.Today, NANA, NAA, NENE are still the titles of all traditional leaders, priests and elders throughout the country. * The empire resisted converting to Islam until Mali did and eventually defeated the Ghana empire, thus setting the stage for mass migration southwards into the forest belt.

This man is a very good historian . Long line Mr. Frimpong

General Kafui. I am much grateful for this interview. As for Lawyer Anokye Frimpong. I pray that Almighty Allaah grant you the best of guidance and preserve you ... I wish our arrogant politicians will humble themselves before you for a patriotic wisdom.

I'm very impressed about the history of " who founded Ghana " Thanks a lot

My question is why didn't black people from the very beginning of invasion recognize the effects of colonization and allowed it. Is it because the europeans were more united as a group than we were. Great video. To move forward as a people we need to know more about ourselves. For too long we've been taught about other people's history.

One of many important facts from this interview, which I absolutely love, is the delineation between where/what was referred to as Gold Coast and where/what became known as Ghana. I would encourage people to read the clergyman Reindorf's piece on the history of the Gold Coast and the Ashanti kingdom.

Very informative!! We need to learn our history. Thanks for this video!!

Lawyer , you 're a living History Book , and a universal library . thanks dearly . ❤❤❤

When I first got u.s in 1999, son of the black Americans called a sell out and I didn’t understand why. It took me 2,years to understand. This man has proof my own research right.

we all one and unity is the way forward❤❤

37:00 George Ekem Ferguson was a National hero. He deserves an honour. NPP only care about honouring party men not national heroes. Point of correction: the university in Wa was named after Dombo - Simon Diedong Dombo University for Business and Integrated Development Studies (SDD-UBIDS), Wa, Upper West Region. It is rather the university in Navrongo which was named after Tadem - CK Tadem University for Technology and Applied Sciences (CKT-UTAS), Navrongo, Upper East Region.

Thank you very much for such a fascinating history of Ghana, I hope he could summarize it in a book for future generations.

Very very educated real history

This is very insightful I have learned a lot, thank you !

Well done sir for such a wonderful Revelation.Powerful.

Am overwhelmed. Kafui good job. I’ve learnt a lot

Educative and well done 👏🏽

These videos are well appreciated

Brilliant

Insightful

Yoo mate Nana! Great work 🇬🇭

This man is a real man of God.

This man is so knowledgeable. I’m beginning to understand my history.

Ghana means warrior king, we’re the rulers of the ancient Ghana empire the Ceesay’s.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

We’re Soninkes we found the herb-an centre first the agricultural communities in the fourth fifth century before we found the Ghana empire.

This was very informative! Thank you for sharing.

Hello Kafui I am so taken in by this educative history by Lawyer Frimpong Anokye and I would like to make contact with him. I feel there is more to learn and do on that aspect of founders and role models. Thanks.

Yes, this man is a true historian. I only disagree with him on the Nortse concept. The meaning of Nortse is meant the eight days he mentioned in Akan language. The leader of Ewes then was called adela Noe. He left his people in the forest in groups and it leader to go and look for water,or where there there will be river for good farming land for the ewes. When adala Noe was not coming back for long period of moths, his people decide look for him. He was found in a bank of river exhausted. He told the delegate that ,this land is fertile so we shall remain here.ln ewe,Tsi, means remain So Adela Noe said me tsi. So later be known as Nortsi.meaning adela Noe be y tsi afisia.

No Kafui, The entity retains the prerogative to either accept or decline your resignation. In the event of any misconduct discovered during the resignation process, termination may be considered.

Point of correction, George Ekyem/Ekem Ferguson is from Anomabo and not Saltpond. In related to him so 8 know and understand this part of the history

Quite a shame the country Ghana rather honors the people who didn't do much to fight for the independence. There many edifices, monuments and streets notable sons(& daughters)mentioned in this interview should be named after, just like in many other countries. Can there be an interview on the language & lifestyle Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah used to convince his fellow Gold Coasters?

kafui, , no pun inteded I thought we learned this at Motown

Now it's Soninke being called the "bigger tribe"(just to list one) A whole lot doesn't seem to add up here😂 The misinformation is wild af😢

Question: is this history thought in schools in Ghana and in facts in the continent as a whole(Africa). Just asking. Thanks

That statement is untrue that 300 years of slavery no moses It was the whole world that was in that type of trade.. slavery still exist among human. The rich or the powerful get saved everyday..

The people of present Ghana are not likely originated from Ancient Ghana. I have traveled and lived in that part of West Africa. The closest Soninke language of Old Ghana is Sarahoule today. Most tribes in that part of the world practiced martrilineal before Islam became the main religion. Gold is still mined in Upper Guinea and Mali. By the year 1240, Bono Manso already existed in the current Ghana. This is just an academic exercise. There is no more space for me to debunk this idea. Yes, Ghana was the first to come out of colonialism in West Africa. Ghana was the first Western Sudan to be founded, hence our founding fathers, chose. "Ghana" as a name.

Ghana is Ghana

14:49

I am a soninke, in my language Ghana, means worior

There is only one founder of Ghana, he name is Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, period.

The Europeans also faught wars with the local community and rulers taking over their trade and government and taking captors in the war into Slavery, this was the case or narrative more in the case of resistant Nigerian west African tribes such as Igbo, Ibibios and Efiks especially in igboland which supplied 60 percent of West Africa slaves to Caribbean and North America

Ah so ewes were part of the Gahana empire, the link was there! So don’t forget them in the national cake any longer

Who founded Ghana is a very easy answer that will shock the entire world. The original name Wagadou meaning Soedan. Therefore it's the original Sudan Egypt but where did the people come from? They used Gongs for war signals. Where were Gongs "Drums" originate? They originated in Java🧐. Ghana means Gong therefore they were the Australs who settled there.👍

I sense deliberate distortion here

But Kafui, we the living are destroying the land and selling them on alarming rate. There will be no land for the unborn.

..

Nkrumah founded Ghana. You are discussing tribes in Ghana. There is a standard definition or description of who a founder of a country is.

Where is the source of Lawyer Anokye Frimpong 's info regarding all that he said on Ghana history? I think it's about time the continent write the African history with complete fact check, on the begining of the nations, colonization, slave trade, etc. in order to preventing people telling various story, not being fact checked.

No , He is good but he started the story from half-way because the Ewes and the Guans came in far behind time of Ghana.. in fact he's confusing the who time line...the name Ghana didn't just start from the Ghana Empire but the name was there already by the Akans (earlier people ) who came in from the Kushites...... ( Kusi- people ) who with King Menes from Queen Mekeda Sheba came to build earliest Khemet.. therefore the name Ghana has been in assistance far beyond the then Ghana Empire...

Gas, Fantes and Nzemas should be the rulers of modern Ghana. They are very wisest tribes who really have blacks at heart wholeheartedly and out of love came together to protect and fight for the Blacks in entirety. However, Ghana has not paid them well, with honor and gratitude. They have not been treated well and fairly at all especially by their own people and other tribal groups after forming Ghana as a nation. This is because of the evil tribal bigots of Danquah-Dombo Busia people who were not educated, lacked wisdom and understanding and full of lies and evil mindset. But I know for sure that Gas, Fantes and Nzemas will rise again. God richly bless them and their generations.

This is just sheer nonsense! Invented history. The people of Ghana today have no relation with the Ghana empire. Kwame Nkrumah just named the Ghana today it because he simply liked the name. There is absolutely no relation. Zero! This is just nonsense.
