It's about time we show Ghanaians the real King. We are descendants of Kuntunkunuku, fearless and brave. Subverters and decimators of the lesser tribes Ashanti, Fanti, Sewhi, Bono

The General as you call yourself, Akyem Abuakwa state doesn't need a person or people of your class to attend or recognise the celebration. You are silly, and a village champion.

Ghanaians, after gaining a lot of money and building a mansion in Accra or Kumasi, if you don't think of building a good mansion in your hometown for yourself and your relatives, somewhere in the districts, then I don't know what to say of you. What would you do with your money? In a certain constituency, know one knows the MPs house o! No one knows the minister's mansion. Does he really hail from the constituency? If the MP or minister hasn't thought of building a house or mansion in the constituency, then why would he think of tarring a road or building a hospital. Ghana fo), yen hwe yie!

Correct for 10 points! Most of Ghanaians are not aware that Akyem has three states (Abuakwa, Kotoku, and Bosome).

You are just a fool. Let me educate you why he is the only Okyenhene as your stupidity shows you dont even understand the name.

From Adanse Akurofuom the Asona Piesie, Okyemhene ( Okyem or ɛtwie is Leopard) Nana Apeanin Kwaframoah fought anyone who dares his people in the Western flank of Adansi Kingdom. He was then named the Okyemhene. With the rise of the Asante Kingdom( the amalgamation of the Eastern flank of the Adansi Kingdom that defeated Denkyira at Fayiase), the Okyemhene and his people decided to cross the Pra River not so as not to be submerged in the emerging )sa nti (Asante power). During the time, Nana Kuntunkununku 1 was the Okyemhene. His war tactics were cutting you on the road and fighting you to death; hence, he earned the name *Ɔbokwan or ɔbunkanfoɔ later corrupted to Abuakwah*. On their way to the present-day lands, they met the *Aduanas*, who occupied most of the lands from Asamankese to Kwabibirem, and they fought and defeated them and took over the lands.

Akyem Tafohene did not fight and willingly asked to be ruled but would eat the first yam before Okyemhene. As a sign of respect, Okyemhene agrees; hence, Tafo eats the first yam before Okyemhene during the festival, though the later is the overlord.

At Kwabibirem, Ohemaa Dokuaa, who restructured the Okyem people's way of fighting, *ruled as a woman king*. Infact it's only among the Asona's that women can rule as Kings. Ohemaa Dokuaa ruled as a woman King *(both Queen and King)*.

During her reign, *Kotoku* now *Akyem Kotoku*, a brother to the defeated Denkyira ( Agona), had also moved and settled from Bomfa through Agogo to the border of Kwahu. Their capital was Dampong. The marauding Asante forces defeated them, and for want of a place to settle, they came to Ohemaa Dokuaa, the woman King. She gave them Gyadam close to Osino. However, they failed to pay their royalties as expected. Hence, Ohemaa Dokuaaa as Kwabenghene to remove them from Gyadam. Akyem Wenchihene, the divisional chief at Kyebi, gave them the Nsuayem area to settle because they dont have any place to go. Nsuayem is the current-day Oda area. During the same time, *Bosome* now *Akyem Bosome with capital Swedru* came to Ohemaa Dokuaa cos Asante had taken over the lands. Akyem Tarkwahene. Also, a chief who served at Kyebi gave them land to settle. Later years, still during the reign of Ohemaa Dokuaa, the woman King, Juaben, had fought with the Asantehene twice and been defeated; hence came to her for a place to settle. At that time, the British had formed an alliance with the Okyemman already, so they asked Ohemaa to give them a place, and they would pay 1 pound every year. This made the woman King instruct Kukurantumihene to give them a place in their present-day Koforidua environs. They paid this royalty till at independence, President Nkrumah cancelled it. It is clear that Okyemhene is from Tete Kwaframoah mmrɛso before the settlers came to Okyeman, he had born the name Okyemhene, later corrupted Okyenhene. Okyenhene title is preserved in a long history. That is the reason though Okyenhene is Asona and his totem is snake or Crow yet he sits and wear the leopard (Okyem) colours.

Before all these, the Dawns or Guans at the mountains had begged Okyemhene to help them sack the Aduanas ( Akwamu) from their lands. So Okyenhene instructed his nephew Saforo to lead Akyem forces with Dawn forces to Akwamu. Saforo, with his Akyem Akropong forces, defeated the Akwamus and pushed them to their present-day Akwamufie. After the battle, the Dawns asked Saforo to stay. He went to Kyebi to inform his Uncle, Okyenhene of the victory and request. He granted him permission to go but always to remember his roots; he gave his stool the name *Oforikumaa* while Kyebi remained the *Oforipanin*. So, but for the Krobos, who were strong allies of Okyeman and the Kwahus, the allodial owner of the lands in the Eastern region is *Ofori Panin fie* and is preserved in history. However, the Asona type of kingship is collaborative to domineering.

Woho fine. Kwasia have you counted the territorial border of Okyenhene. For the fact some squatters and refugees were given some place to stay doesnt make them of equal footing to the allodial owner. The stupidity of some of you is too much. Okyenhene and Otumfuo were installed in the same year but because the later has celebrated his 25th rule which he showed massive respect to Okyenhene doesnt mean he shouldnt. Okyenman is rich in Diamonds, bauxite, gold and timber and we dont need your poor village kontomire to spend. The Agyapa deal was Okyenman's bauxite not your village property.

Mafia, a sound educated person doesn't insult. I expected you to schedule a debate between two of us. Anyway, I don't blame you half of education is poisonous. You write and speak English, but I'm suggesting to you that, you don't understand the English-Land English. A what you stated in simple language is a history of Akyem and other ethnic groups as well. We don't normally use the word state when talk about Akyem Kotoku and Bosome locally. But it doesn't mean Both Akyem Bosome and Kotoku are not states like Akyem Abuakwa state. For an ordinary person to understand and to know the three Akyems have their paramont chiefs, that is why I use the word state. And I don't understand why you don't get me because almost everybody know Kyebi as Akyem Abuakwa State. Now what is wrong if someone calls Akyem Bosome and Akyem Kotoku States? I don't know which part of Akyem you belong. Akyem Abuakwa always want to be dominant over Akyem Kotoku and Bosome. This brought the current chieftaincy dispute between Kyebi and Oda traditional councils over Nsawam-Aduagyeri. I'll tell you my ethnic group another time.

Show evidence of otherwise? Are we here to talk about who shot Asantehene? Is that you squatters pride? Akoa ɛgyimi and that makes you Akyem

Educate me on a different narrative. So far I have educated you and you havent shown any knowledge. You are refugees on Okyeman land. Get it. You are no Royal. Refugees. Get back to Denkyira to claim royalty not Okyeman.

1. Did you know that Kotoku land was dashed to them by Akyem Wenchihene, a divisional chief of Okyeman?

2. Where has Nana Akrasi's shooting of Opemsuo Osei Tutu made you Akyemfo)

3. Thirdl, you are Maanu of Denkyira and you are refugees after Asante too over your lands including your capital of Dampong in Asante Akyem border.

4. All you refugee lands, Bosome and New Juaben as their name sounds tells you were they migrated from in the present day Asante region allodial owner is Okyenhene. Evidence abound. Get knowledge and stop being petty.

I have demonstrated i know my history and well where you have done otherwise except claiming shooting of Asantehene that nobody knowledgeable like me has contested it.

Hehehehehehe. Okyeman, we are smart and intelligent. Odumakuma b)) adie no, )baa Adansifo) and Okyeman was there. Hehehehehe.

Learn Akyem history for those who ignorantly talk about three akyem states. Before New Juaben, Bosome and Kotoku who later took the name Akyem on Okyenhene's land there was Okyenehene from Adansi and he remains the Okyenhene and no one can change it.

Let me educate you

From Adanse Akurofuom the Asona Piesie, Okyemhene ( Okyem or ɛtwie is Leopard) Nana Apeanin Kwaframoah fought anyone who dares his people in the Western flank of Adansi Kingdom. He was then named the Okyemhene. With the rise of the Asante Kingdom( the amalgamation of the Eastern flank of the Adansi Kingdom that defeated Denkyira at Fayiase), the Okyemhene and his people decided to cross the Pra River not so as not to be submerged in the emerging )sa nti (Asante power). During the time, Nana Kuntunkununku 1 was the Okyemhene. His war tactics were cutting you on the road and fighting you to death; hence, he earned the name *Ɔbokwan or ɔbunkanfoɔ later corrupted to Abuakwah*. On their way to the present-day lands, they met the *Aduanas*, who occupied most of the lands from Asamankese to Kwabibirem, and they fought and defeated them and took over the lands.

Akyem Tafohene did not fight and willingly asked to be ruled but would eat the first yam before Okyemhene. As a sign of respect, Okyemhene agrees; hence, Tafo eats the first yam before Okyemhene during the festival, though the later is the overlord.

At Kwabibirem, Ohemaa Dokuaa, who restructured the Okyem people's way of fighting, *ruled as a woman king*. Infact it's only among the Asona's that women can rule as Kings. Ohemaa Dokuaa ruled as a woman King *(both Queen and King)*.

During her reign, *Kotoku* now *Akyem Kotoku*, a brother to the defeated Denkyira ( Agona), had also moved and settled from Bomfa through Agogo to the border of Kwahu. Their capital was Dampong. The marauding Asante forces defeated them, and for want of a place to settle, they came to Ohemaa Dokuaa, the woman King. She gave them Gyadam close to Osino. However, they failed to pay their royalties as expected. Hence, Ohemaa Dokuaaa as Kwabenghene to remove them from Gyadam. Akyem Wenchihene, the divisional chief at Kyebi, gave them the Nsuayem area to settle because they dont have any place to go. Nsuayem is the current-day Oda area. During the same time, *Bosome* now *Akyem Bosome with capital Swedru* came to Ohemaa Dokuaa cos Asante had taken over the lands. Akyem Tarkwahene. Also, a chief who served at Kyebi gave them land to settle. Later years, still during the reign of Ohemaa Dokuaa, the woman King, Juaben, had fought with the Asantehene twice and been defeated; hence came to her for a place to settle. At that time, the British had formed an alliance with the Okyemman already, so they asked Ohemaa to give them a place, and they would pay 1 pound every year. This made the woman King instruct Kukurantumihene to give them a place in their present-day Koforidua environs. They paid this royalty till at independence, President Nkrumah cancelled it. It is clear that Okyemhene is from Tete Kwaframoah mmrɛso before the settlers came to Okyeman, he had born the name Okyemhene, later corrupted Okyenhene. Okyenhene title is preserved in a long history. That is the reason though Okyenhene is Asona and his totem is snake or Crow yet he sits and wear the leopard (Okyem) colours.

Before all these, the Dawns or Guans at the mountains had begged Okyemhene to help them sack the Aduanas ( Akwamu) from their lands. So Okyenhene instructed his nephew Saforo to lead Akyem forces with Dawn forces to Akwamu. Saforo, with his Akyem Akropong forces, defeated the Akwamus and pushed them to their present-day Akwamufie. After the battle, the Dawns asked Saforo to stay. He went to Kyebi to inform his Uncle, Okyenhene of the victory and request. He granted him permission to go but always to remember his roots; he gave his stool the name *Oforikumaa* while Kyebi remained the *Oforipanin*. So, but for the Krobos, who were strong allies of Okyeman and the Kwahus, the allodial owner of the lands in the Eastern region is *Ofori Panin fie* and is preserved in history. However, the Asona type of kingship is collaborative to domineering.

He is the Paramount chief with land mass he fought for and not through confederation. I have educated you enogh and stupid folks like you about Okyeman with your useless half baked knowledge.

Tell.me your hometown and let tell you your history cos you might not be a real Asante. You might one of those whose generational stay at Asante makes you feel same. Cos for real royals, there know Okyeman and respect dey. Check where Okyenhene sat when A real Royal Sei Tutu had his 25th banquet. Check if your village chief was even invited, hehehhehe. Poor thing.

Who in his or her right mind will ever believe this pile of complete nonsense compiled by the "useless Yes Sir Massa" guys at Kyebi? where on earth did they get all those precise dates from their ancestors did not even know what a date was?These bunch of lying wankers are trying to tell us that they actually had records and dates long before the white man even set foot on our shores and told us how to write. I mean these people had records in the 13th hundreds? what a sick joke!You have to be on drugs to believe this "pyramid of complete piffle".The Akyem Abuakwa State was actually founded around 1500s. Afia Dokua,was a female "Regent" who was in charge from 1817-1835 before Ofori Payin was enstooled. This bunch of liars could not even get her regency date right.A sick joke!

Look at the half baked fool. Have you ever been to any Royal courts among the Akans before. Kurasini, at Adansi there was Okyeman led by Apeanin Kwaframoah. You want to tell us before Kuntununku there was Abrewa Dokuaa? Akoa ɛgyimi, who first founded the capital Banso before the current day Kyebi. You dont know cos you are half baked in knowledge.

In Okyeman courts the lineage is mentioned in oratory awesem for the wise to know. And wait, you think its the white man who first taught us how to write. Akoa ɛgyimi. Go and learn about how the name Abubonsra came into being at Adansi Kingdom

@Mafia. it is obvious you do not know your arse from you tits.Your idiotic "moniker" sums up your gross stupidity and ignorance. Yes, we do have oral history, trouble is, an ignorant fart of your breed cannot question where the "wankers" at Kyebi came up with all those dates from 13th hundreds.That is problem, your non functioning brain is not programmed to question things.To you, any nonsense from any of our useless chiefs are "indisputable facts".And, a dipstick like you have the chutzpah to insult me." Wo ye Akyeneboa paa"! Use your brain, if you have on, to reason and think logically. Again, who wrote all those precise dates for Amoatia and his poodles when our ancestors were illiterates?
