Artifacts, gold, precious metals, Kings and queens were abducted stolen exiled......if the colonizers could do all these without anyone selling anything to them. What makes you think that humans were sold to them as well? Amd even if humans were sold. Who reviewed the money for selling humans? Wouldn't be the chiefs? Well, many of these chiefs or kings were captured and exiled or simply killed..so reason a bit and realise that not all humans wer sold off. In my opinion manay were stolen and abducted shipped off for free..whay a wicked catastrophe!!!!!! BLACKS ARE HUMANS

@ Safohene, more historical facts to make our lying ,useless ,arrogant and pompous chiefs feel uncomfortable.. This is what happened and there is 4uck all they can do to change that.And, we will let a lot of Ghanaians know the facts,

From 1700 to the 1890s, the Ashanti (Asante) Kingdom was a major slave-exporting power, with the trade managed by the Asantehene (King), his provincial rulers, and officials who supplied captive rivals and war prisoners to European traders (British, Dutch, French) at coastal forts, particularly Elmina and Cape Coast. Prominent elites and middlemen managed the supply chains from the interior.

The Asantehene (Kings): The ruling monarchs were the primary organizers of the trade, initiating wars of expansion specifically to capture people. Following the 1732 and 1744 invasions of Gonja and Dagomba, the Asantehene demanded enslaved people as tribute, making it a systematic trade.

Provincial Chiefs and Officials: Regional governors and warriors in the Ashanti empire, such as the rulers of conquered territories like Gonja and Dagomba, facilitated the capture and trafficking of slaves to the central authorities.
Northern Traders: In the early 1700s, trade flowed north, where Asante officials sold captives to Mande and Hausa traders for exchange with North African networks.

Coastal Middlemen: Traders who moved between the coastal forts (Cape Coast and Elmina) and the Ashanti capital, Kumasi, served as vital links to European slave dealers.

Key Dynamics:

Shift to Atlantic Demand: By the 1800s, the Ashanti shifted from northern trade to supplying the growing Atlantic demand for captives to get European manufactured goods, particularly firearms.
Resistance and Abolition: While the trade was lucrative, it was heavily pressured by the British during the 19th century, culminating in the exile of King Prempeh I in 1896.

The fact that many Africans - including politicians and other vermin like yourself, have not managed to liberate and cure themselves from the psychosis of mental slavery, this does certainly not free the thieves, racists and slave merchants from the absolute sins and guilt of the gravest crimes against humanity.

Then again, the fact that there may be shortcomings, quarrels and differences in any African family, this does not justify or give licence to armed robbers, thieves, murderers and slave merchants sent from Hades, to forcibly enter the sanctity of our humble family home to plunder and loot our family property, kidnap and kill those who resist. The greater shame and disgrace lies in the abysmal shame that greedy rogue-African children in their reckless desire to partake in the booty of the brigands, thieves, murderers and slave merchants publicly defend the indefensible wrongs of the gravest crimes against humanity.

As a damaged African "good", your apparent evil and shameful hatred for anything African - which in reality is merely an infection and symptom of the bite of the vampires of this world, have caused you to go as far as to fabricate negative demeaning fairy tales about Africa to feed your masochistic fantasies. Nobody died in a crowded heat-filled stadium. All the unfortunate souls who died looking for a job in that incident, died outside the stadium as a result of a commotion which caused a pandemonium. It was an unfortunate accident which can happen anywhere in the world. However unlike your adored Western society of your slave-masters, the youth and the elderly alike in Ghana, do not, on practically a weekly basis, take guns to go and kill innocent school children for sadistic pleasure. Neither do we engage in senseless wars in which we deliberately bomb hundreds of schoolchildren, journalists, medical staff in hospitals and UN Peacekeeping staff just to shock and awe our adversaries into submission so that we can continue to steal their resources.

Now even though I do not entirely disagree with your invectives of nation-wrecking Chiefs, gluttonous politicians and unpatriotic greedy citizens, I can't help thinking, on the basis of your own evident sentiments above that, those adjectives used by yourself, emanate from a deep feeling of self guilt.

@Akiti, Massa, it is not worth telling you that, if your brains were money, you will still be in debt. You wrote a whole thesis just to solidify your gross stupidity.

The facts are as plain as the big flat ugly nose on your face. Our own Kings were equally enthusiastic in slave raiding and trading. Even when. the British abolished it in the Gold Coast as well as the nonsensical human sacrifice, they were still at it, until evil and vile Prempeh 1 got his comeuppance in 1896.

And, your reponse. A complete pyramid of absolute piffle that justifies your stupidity to the highest level,.

Lastly. Were you actually born as a complete twat or you grew up to be one?
And, what sort of historical fact do you not understand, the factual bit as you read in my comment or the fictional bit that liar Adu Boahen forced fed us with?

Even, your disgusting and utterly repulsive moniker "Akiti" tells every Ghanaian with a modicum of sense that you are an out and out idiot par excellence." Agya, wo ye akyeneboa bi ba wae"?

Which part of Ghana did such a fossilised twat called "Akiti"actually spring up from? God, bloody knows,

Your job, If you have any brain, is to prove with verifiable facts that my evidence was false.instead you just displayed you idiocy ranting like "Kejetia Bodam ni".
which you definitely are. You can go and stick your "nkwaseasem right up "wo maame's cunny"! That is exactly were your befuddled brain really belongs.

Do not bother writing any more "Mmoasem" because you have already excelled yourself at it. Crikey, what a plonker!

The Slave Trade – Some recorded and historical payments …….
What actually happened
• In 1833–1837, after the Slavery Abolition Act 1833, the British government paid compensation to slave owners for the loss of enslaved people (treated as “property” at the time).
• About £20 million (a huge sum then, ~40% of government spending) was distributed to around 40,000 slave owners.
Why 2015 is mentioned
• The government borrowed money to fund those payouts (notably via financiers like Nathan Mayer Rothschild).
• That loan was turned into long-term government bonds (“gilts”).
• Taxpayers kept paying off that debt until 2015, when the UK finally cleared those old bonds.
Key clarification
• The payments to slave owners happened in the 1830s, not in 2015.
• By 2015, no slave owners (or their descendants) were receiving new compensation.
• 2015 just marks the final repayment of the government debt created to fund those 19th-century payouts.
Why it’s controversial
• Enslaved people received no compensation at all, while slave owners did.
• Because the debt lasted so long, generations of taxpayers (including descendants of enslaved people) indirectly helped repay money that originally went to slave owners.

• Received compensation after abolition
• Later publicly acknowledged and apologized for this history
Universities and cultural institutions
University of Glasgow
• Identified historical donations tied to slavery-derived wealth

@Atuprimanga, Massa, you are as right as rain. We just do not want to accept the uncomfortable truth, but history is exactly what happened and recorded. And, our own Asante Kings were vile, cruel and utterly despicable. A fact without apology to anyone, Now, read this to buttress your point, And, I do not care one bit what my own Asante people think. It happened and we have to say it. Full stop!

The Asante kings most heavily involved in slave raiding and trading were Osei Tutu, Opoku Ware, Osei Kwadwo, Osei Kwame, and Osei Bonsu.

Osei Tutu (c. 1670s–1717) established the empire and secured control over gold fields, using the wealth to purchase firearms from Europeans which facilitated further expansion and the capture of slaves.

Opoku Ware (c. 1720–1750) continued this aggressive expansion, reaching the empire's fullest extent and integrating it deeply into the lucrative gold and slave trades with British and Dutch traders.

Osei Kwadwo (c. 1764–1777), Osei Kwame (1777–1801), and Osei Bonsu (c. 1801–1824) maintained a centralized state where the economy relied heavily on the export of captives, with an
annual exports estimated at 6,000–7,000 people by the end of the 18th century.

These monarchs systematically traded enslaved people, captured during wars and raids against neighboring states like the Denkyira and Fante, in exchange for European firearms, luxury goods, and manufactured products. The trade became a primary source of wealth and military power until Great Britain outlawed the slave trade in 1807, which crippled the Asante economy and sparked conflict with the British.

Transatlantic Slavery existed in the territory of present day Ghana over 155yrs before Asante was formed in the 1700s. Who was selling who during that time apart from the Denkyira, the Akwamu of which the present Doormaa people were part of. An official from Barbados said the very first British slaves that entered Barbados, which was the very first Carribean island that enslaved Africans were sent to include those who later became Asantes. The Jaman people who were part of the Akwamu people were heavily involved in Slavery, and the slaves that were sent to the Asantehene were sent by the Dagombas as a tribute, and those slaves were indentured slaves, and not chattel slaves of the Europeans

We let the facts do the talking.

The British colonial government exiled Nana Amoako Atta I, the Okyenhene of Akyem Abuakwa, to Lagos, Nigeria, in May 1880.

He was convicted by a British court in Accra on charges of arson (specifically "malicious arson") and accused of involvement in slave-dealing (or receiving a pawn) at Kyebi.

Key details regarding his exile:
Duration: He was sentenced to five years of exile, during which the state of Akyem Abuakwa was left without its head.
Return: Nana Amoako Atta I returned from exile in January 1885 and was reinstated as Okyenhene.

Context: His exile was partly due to his resistance against the encroaching authority of the Basel Mission and the British colonial administration, particularly regarding the liberation of slaves within his territory.

He later died on February 2, 1887, after being summoned for another inquiry regarding further unrest.

Yaw, the first slave traders in the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade in the Gold Coast were the Portuguese and the Spanish followed by the Dutch and the the British, Swedish, Danes, Germans, French, Brazilians and Americans.
Brazil received more slaves , yet it is still a third world country. They have have bugger-all to pay anybody

What about second salary going on currently? We have Chinese, Australians, South Africans looting our mineral resources and you are there asking for reparations? The combine value of what foreigners are taking from us is in far excess of the reparations you are asking. It is like we just addicted to free stuff. Cheap money. How will the reparation money be distributed among African governments and citizens directly affected by the slave trade. Hanst the West supported Africa financial and technically over the years?

Welldone Efo Ekudzeto Ablakwa. The British don't want to even tell Africans that they are sorry for the transatlantic slave trade and the colonization that followed, meaning that western economists came out from one form of oppression that they imposed on the victims, then repeated the same thing during the period of colonization.
When I was a child my uncle had a bullet mark on his chest and another on his back. It was said that he was a reincarnation of a granduncle of ours, who was sold into slavery.
He manage to work, paid the amount which was used to buy him, came to the house of the former slave master to take his possessions.
The former slave owner who sold him to the one he bought himself from gave some people guns to shoot him and his elder sister, who was my great grandmother.
My great granduncle was shot and the bullet wounds were the scare on the chest of my uncle who was also a grandnephew of our granduncle, who was shot dead.

THE ARGUMENT BEING MADE BY OUR LEADERS FOR REPARATIONS TO AFRICAN COUNTRIES IS INFANTILE! I MEAN TO SUGGEST THAT BECAUSE THE SLAVE OWNERS WHO LEGALLY AT THE TIME USED THEIR HARD-EARNED MONEY TO BUY THE SLAVES WERE PAID REPARATIONS TO SET THE SLAVES FREE, WE IN AFRICA WHO ALSO SOLD THE SLAVES TO MAKE MONEY, SHOULD AGAIN BE PAID MONEY FOR WHAT?? AND FOR WHAT REASON SHOULD WE IN AFRICA WHO PROFITED FROM SELLING THE SLAVES BE PAID ANOTHER MONEY TO MAKE DOUBLE PROFIT?? IS IT THE CASE THAT, IN THE TIME PAST, SOME MINISTERIAL APPOINTEES TOOK DOUBLE SALARIES WITHOUT BEING PUNISHED, THIS REPARATIONS TO AFRICA IS ALSO SEEN AS THE RIGHT THING??? THE ANSWER IS A BIG NO!
IF ANY REPARATION SIMILAR TO WHAT WAS PAID TO THE SLAVE OWNERS TO SET THE SLAVES FREE IS REQUIRED TO BE PAID, THE ONLY GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO CAN LAY CLAIM ARE DESCENDANTS OF THE SLAVES IN THE DIASPORA, AND NOT PEOPLE IN AFRICA WHO WERE THE SELLERS AND BENEFITED FROM THE TRADE!!
THIS IS COMMON SENSE!!!

Kemi you are young so you don't see the discrimination. When you grow older you will be compelled to go to a home or go back home, Nigeria of course. Whether you like it or not you are black, you are African, you are different. Find out why there are blacks in UK, USA. That is the history of the slave trade.

Ablakwa should stop displaying his deception. The thing is called slave TRADE, meaning the buyers paid something for the slaves (mirrors and schnapps). So if the slaves are wanted back, what's wrong with the buyers asking to be paid for releasing what they paid for? The schnapps had already been drunk, and the mirrors broken, so they must be paid in cash.

I hope we can trace the descendants of those who were sold to directly receive the reparations. No one suffers for the other to enjoy.

Stop the childish behavior and start behaving like our foremost diplomat. As our top diplomat, you are entitled to drive home your point forcefully but without undercurrents of innuendoes or belittling one’s knowledge. Know that you are not sitting on radio gold and lambasting your opponents. The UK is our development partner and they also have the right to speak up and a right to vote on matters concerning reparations for slavery. You don’t chide them when they don’t go your way. Kemi is far more experienced than you are. Sam, be humble and learn. You have great potential
