Added: 2026-05-31

[00:00:00]M >> let's stop the hatred for Asantis.

[00:00:02]Asantis have contributed a lot to Ghana's development. And if it was not for Asantis, the British would have taken us like snails.

[00:00:10]Customary right the boundaries and the regions they don't matter in customary rights because even the constitution says all customary protocols they are still intact. It's effective void of whatever government national house of chiefs and >> Asanti gained independence in 1935 from who?

[00:00:36]>> From the British. They gave the charter of freedom to Asantim and Asanti was ready to declare itself an independent state.

[00:00:44]>> The reason for the flag.

[00:00:46]>> Yes. All the other states came together with a meeting with When you people exactly and all these things are on record but people act as if said they never we have fought with the British seven times. The last time they came and destroyed Asante, they had to amass forces from Fulani, from Sooto, from Gaugaw in Burkina. They went all the way to Walla.

[00:01:22]They brought French troops, they had British troops, they had Dutch troops, they had how do you call it?

[00:01:27]>> All to fight one asanti, >> one asanti. And every single tribe in Ghana, the guns gave their troops, the Fantis gave their troops, the Aquamus gave their troops. Everybody, every tribe against Asanti >> gave troops against Asanti. So the British know what these people are capable. But one thing will not stand for is to be a servant.

[00:01:49]>> Never agree to that.

[00:02:08]We don't classify.

[00:02:12]He is the owner of paramount.

[00:02:26]Now I find this video interesting especially in the wake of every angle independence the present day GH and all that for educational purpose and this is not to stoke any um tribal whatever or to spite That is not the point. Now this is for us to know and particularly I'm interested when that is why I'm sharing this. Now according to this one, any other areas, other tribes, any other kingdom, I feel like particularly on the part of Ashanti region, the present day 1957 Ghana they were persuaded there was an agreement They were persuaded. And according to this man, as part of the persuasant still maintains ownership, which is they still maintain ownership of those areas. Now this man statement the regions they are just mere political democations it doesn't have impact on the traditional authority and their power over certain lands any certain regions extend far beyond any region part of part of part of other areas and There was that agreement still the power the control of it just that politicians taking over for the sake of and so it tells me the shanti wen forced they weren't cohed they were actually persuaded that is if this statement is anything to go by again said before the 1957 independence some 20 years before 1957 and you can't just force them.

[00:05:11]You have to go and negotiate with them.

[00:05:13]Soanti Ghana and that explains the reason why a peculiar flag distinct features other tribes.

[00:05:35]And so people has issues with the reason why flag and this man explains that say it is because before the Ghana flag the present day Ghana flag 1957 they were ready to be a full state case when you are talking about Ghana independence certain people and potential to break away from Ghana.

[00:06:08]you should approach different oni history the present day Ghana in between the 1957 and from there just like history is unique history.

[00:06:51]>> Exactly.

[00:06:54]Nathan Nathan. Prophet Nathan.

[00:06:56]>> And it goes on and on and on and on and on and on. Every great king has had his own prophet.

[00:30:00]friend.

[00:30:39]In the context of the spiritual language, We don't classify.

[00:31:04]Above all, he is the owner of paramount.

[00:31:09]He is the owner.

[00:31:52]among the only of your friend is saying Benin Edo King of kings, the son of the the descendant of the son, the son god into they worship the emperor as the descendant of the son god. So the concept of the god king did not start from messia. It is a part and parcel of African belief system.

[00:32:33]The concept of the god king did not start from the concept of the god kingcept.

[00:32:45]We knew the concept back in the days concept.

[00:32:55]opport When 300 years ago 300 years after first So you believe in incarnation and reincarnation believes in incarnation not me as customs and tradition believes in reincarnation and reincarnation the name he has reincarnated. He has come back again. So that is why about 500 years, 600, 700.

[00:34:44]What?

[00:35:04]Soch.

[00:35:26]before November.

[00:35:44]November.

[00:35:46]November.

[00:36:03]for me.

[00:36:15]Because right the boundaries and the regions they don't matter in customary rights because even the constitution says all customary protocols no they are still intact.

[00:36:38]>> It's effective.

[00:36:40]void of whatever government, national house of chief.

[00:36:47]>> And then one thing we also have to uh we also have to be aware of asanti gain independence in 1935 from who? from the British.

[00:36:58]When they conquered, they gave the charter of freedom to Asantim to the first. The first >> way before 1957, >> 1935 had already had its independence 1935 from the British and Asanti was ready to declare itself an independent state.

[00:37:30]>> The reason for the flag >> Yes.

[00:37:33]Asanti was ready to declare itself as an independent state in 1935.

[00:37:39]No.

[00:37:42]Exactly.

[00:37:43]No, all the other states came together with a meeting.

[00:37:54]When you people declare yourself independent of Dr. Exactly and all these things are on record but people act as if said never.

[00:38:09]>> They act as if it never happened. Asanti gained independence 1935 years before Ghana gained independence. Oh, we had our flag years before Ghana had it flag.

[00:38:19]We had our national anthem years before we had everything. Our constitution, our court system asanti had everything that Ghana is enjoying. Asanti already had it from 1935.

[00:38:31]1935 independence already.

[00:38:40]But the thing is because the white people wanted to rule the the whole of Ghana and then they found the Asantis to be the most troublesome people that were giving them the most problematic people. No, they decided to leave um negivivity or negative mindset about Asante. So when they were leaving ah these people you have to be careful we are not the problem. We want to protect you.

[00:39:11]You seeantis, they are your enemies.

[00:39:15]You seeant, they are your enemies.

[00:39:18]You see the scientist, they are your enemies.

[00:39:20]>> A seed of discord.

[00:39:21]>> They swed a seed of discord among the tribe. That is why people hate Asantis when you talk about people don't want to hear. But you cannot take the glory of Asanti, the power of Asanti and what Asanti has contributed. We have fought with the British seven times. The last war that we fought with asantis no or the British fought with as was the first world war. Now let me explain.

[00:39:45]The last time they came and destroyed Asante. They had to amass forces from fani from Sooto from Gaug in Burkina.

[00:39:55]They went all the way to Wala. They brought French troops. They had British troops. They had Dutch troops. They had how do you call it?

[00:40:02]>> All to fight one asanti.

[00:40:04]>> One asanti. And every single tribe in Ghana, the Guns gave their troops, the Fantis gave their troops, the Aquamus gave their troops, everybody, every tribe against Asanti >> gave troops against Asanti. That is the only time >> the British were able that was >> they tried within a period of about 100 years.

[00:40:24]>> Yes, they couldn't >> before finally they advanced all these >> all the all the West African forces.

[00:40:31]They advanced the whole West Africa against Asante. They even brought specialist troops from Exactly. So those are the people everywhere that they had colonies, they brought soldiers to fight against Asante. That was the only time they could fight and win against Asante. So the British know what these people are capable of.

[00:41:08]Exactly.

[00:41:10]So even when the queen of England, >> you remember they put all the world leaders, all the kings in one bus was not mixed with them. Why?

[00:41:24]>> So you have to ask yourself these questions. Let's stop the hatred.

[00:41:27]>> Let's stop the hatred for Asantis. As scientists have contributed a lot to Ghana's development and if it was not for the Asantis the British would have taken us like snails but one thing asanti will not stand for is to be a servant.

[00:41:42]>> Asanti would never agree to that.

[00:41:45]>> Asanti will never ever agree to be a servant or to be a slave. We can be a servant but we cannot be a slave.

[00:41:53]That is why even in Asanti do when we go to war and we bring in captives now we bring them as we integrate them into the family so we integrate them when then we will elevate you the funny thing is people mis misinterpret something I think is an opportunity for you to clarify.

[00:42:45]Donkey.

[00:42:58]What I say?

[00:43:12]Soanti knew how to integrate and when we were forming empire and people mistaken the asanti region >> empire kingdom >> asanti is not a kingdom is an empire >> bigger than a king >> bigger than a kingdom but people mistaken the Asanti region for the Asanti Empire. There are two different things. Ashanti region is totally different for the Asanti Empire. The Asanti region has his headquarters as Kumasi. That is just what you see on the map as Asanti region. That is the smallest version of Asante. Asanti goes all the way to Aafu. Asanti goes all the way to Bum. Asanti goes all the way to Asanti goes all the way to the north.

[00:44:09]Brazil and beyond.

[00:44:13]Empire they created a system whereby people can integrate to become a scientist without having to necessarily have without necessarily having to be born from a maternal lineage.

[00:44:31]The first version of being asanti or the first step of being an asanti is you have to be born from a matineal >> a mother who isant >> mother who is assanti then you become an asanti. The second part naturally by birth.

[00:44:47]>> Naturally by birth. That is the first step of being asanti.

[00:44:50]>> The second step of being asanti is by paternal inheritance. Me as I'm talking to you my mother is not asanti but me I'm fullblooded asanti because father by my father because my father is the son of the bantima puro stool. The bantima pio stool is a patrineal stool.

[00:45:12]including because so you see how you become asant by patrol and then the third version is by allegiance.

[00:45:33]When you pay allegiance to the golden stone and you serve under the golden stone, you pay allegiance to it. You are considered and then by alliance.

[00:45:57]So asanti has so many different ways of making people asant without necessarily having to be from the matrinal side.

[00:46:32]Tell me which line.

[00:46:37]So the integration system was strong bringing everybody together.

[00:46:42]>> Asante integrated everybody. That is one secret of because let me even give you one secret of But one Fuhed by M.

[00:47:58]But what is due you asant will give you the honor that is give you will give you But in the long run, it comes back. It comes back. Soanti knows how to integrate.

[00:48:54]unity because they needed numbers.

[00:48:57]>> They needed numbers.

[00:49:04]We will convert you into asanti. That is asanti. So whether you are Ghana, you are if we want to convert you to asanti, we know how to convert you and you become How do you talk about Tik Tok Strong. Tick tock. Strong man.

[00:50:22]They felt comfortable. We didn't treat them like slaves. We treated them as people with respect.

[00:50:38]Are tribalistic. They don't know the history and the spirit of Asante. Asante is not tribalistic. Asanti is a prideful group of people who are extremely proud of their culture.

[00:50:52]Yes.

[00:50:58]Exactly.

[00:51:00]Exactly.

[00:51:18]When you see a scientist glorifying, don't get offended. Glorify your own, worship it. Make it the best. And anything outside of book.

[00:51:42]Yeah, Mhm.
