  1. The old Ghana company has nothing to do with Akans. The Soninke, Malinke and Mande were the ones who stayed in the old Ghana empire. These languages are only similar to the northern region languages. Saying the Ghana old empire has something to do with Akans is rubbish haha.

    This fella is always trying to fabricate stories to empower Akans maybe that’s his clan or tribe.

    Go do your own research and don’t listen to this guy false stories.

  2. This is so brilliant and refreshing brother Kafui.

    What a treasure this man is. Does he have any books?

    We, as Ghanaians, have only one founder, and that's Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. ❤

  3. No , He is good but he started the story from half-way because the Ewes and the Guans came in far behind time of Ghana.. in fact he's confusing the who time line…the name Ghana didn't just start from the Ghana Empire but the name was there already by the Akans (earlier people ) who came in from the Kushites……
    ( Kusi- people ) who with King Menes from Queen Mekeda Sheba came to build earliest Khemet.. therefore the name Ghana has been in assistance far beyond the then Ghana Empire…

  4. Quite a shame the country Ghana rather honors the people who didn't do much to fight for the independence. There many edifices, monuments and streets notable sons(& daughters)mentioned in this interview should be named after, just like in many other countries.
    Can there be an interview on the language & lifestyle Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah used to convince his fellow Gold Coasters?

  5. Yes, this man is a true historian. I only disagree with him on the Nortse concept. The meaning of Nortse is meant the eight days he mentioned in Akan language. The leader of Ewes then was called adela Noe. He left his people in the forest in groups and it leader to go and look for water,or where there there will be river for good farming land for the ewes. When adala Noe was not coming back for long period of moths, his people decide look for him. He was found in a bank of river exhausted. He told the delegate that ,this land is fertile so we shall remain here.ln ewe,Tsi, means remain So Adela Noe said me tsi. So later be known as Nortsi.meaning adela Noe be y tsi afisia.

  6. The people of present Ghana are not likely originated from Ancient Ghana. I have traveled and lived in that part of West Africa. The closest Soninke language of Old Ghana is Sarahoule today. Most tribes in that part of the world practiced martrilineal before Islam became the main religion. Gold is still mined in Upper Guinea and Mali. By the year 1240, Bono Manso already existed in the current Ghana. This is just an academic exercise. There is no more space for me to debunk this idea. Yes, Ghana was the first to come out of colonialism in West Africa. Ghana was the first Western Sudan to be founded, hence our founding fathers, chose. "Ghana" as a name.
