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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.👍

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.
