How Komfo Anokye moved away from his Ewe twin to establish the Asante Kingdom

A number of narrations have emerged about Komfo Anokye, the close companion of Otumfuo Osei Tutu I.

More often than not, he has been described as someone whose birth was surrounded by very notable miracles.

Many have named Awukugua as his birthplace, while others say he has Nzema roots.

Meanwhile, the Anlos also have their version. In their case, they believe Komfo Anokye was a twin of the legendary Togbi Tsali.

According to them, his name was Tsala. They narrate that Tsala became Komfo Anokye after migrating to other lands and settling at Awukugua in the Eastern Region.

As part of the group that escaped from the grips of King Agorkoli in Notsie, he eventually earned the name "Komfo Anokye," which they say is a corrupted version of "Komfo from Notsie."

This leads to an entire conversation about the formation of the Anlo Kingdom, its states, and clans.
