    Don’t pay any attention to that woman living in a man’s body

  • Bastie asantefourhene 3 months ago

    Beacuse The Dormaahene uses as footstool, the heads of various Asante Amanhenes including that of Asantehene OBIRI YEBOAH. The first Asantehene was Obiri Yeboah and Not Osei Tutu I. The Dormaas killed him

  • Sir-Riscky 3 months ago

    True true. A history that Ashantis hate to hear. At least we all know Obiri Yeboah was the Uncle of the so-called Osei Tutu and the so-called Asanteman moved from various era with varying names and that doesn't change one's r ...

    The British didn't steal anything from the Asantes in 1874 during the Sagrenti war.
    The Asantehene Nana Kofi Karikari triggered the war out of anger concerning the British ownership of the Elmina Castle in 1872.

    Tymer, your stupidity knows no bounds. Ask yourself prior to the formation of Ashanti circa 1701 was slavery not going on in Ghana? Why do you blame Ashantis as sole perpetrators of slavery?
