First' all, we all came from the up up North/ Present Ghana was owned by the Guans/ That's many tribes including Gonja/ And the people of Oti Region town Nkonya/ Some say Asantes came from a hole/ Some talk Mesopotamia too/ They were warlike fought who they could/ Had their territories before the whites came through/ The real Asantes were short and cute/ and wanted more tall and gallant youths/ to conquer more so the made that move/ having babies with the northerners coz they were huge/ Ntafour na music wormu y3 3moa nu/ mi sr3 mi kaan,wor mua nsu n3 boa mu/ this is sensitive,might sound offensive / but let me go on,be attentive!/ So they built strong armies for wars/ wanted different routes to the seashores/avoiding clashes with the Akyem of coz /so they became allies with the Akwamu for sure/ the Akwamu's were fighting Ewem3 people/ meaning all Ewes except Anlo people/ from 1868 to 1872/ you may find some time and do your research too/
Began with 3000 Asantes,1000 Akwamu soldiers/ And Adu Baffour brought 1000 more warriors/ they captured some Ewe towns and were in the lead/ Until Ewes united led by Mote/ Dagadu of Kpando,Deh of Peki/ In 1869, 1st victory came and Asantes started to cry/ Kofi Karikari was Asantehene then/ And wanted all the troops to return/ But General Adu Baffour wouldn't listen/ until they got slaughtered in Agu Valley/ Some survivors fled to Nsuta / No one thought there will be friction in the future/ some Ewes were taken captives while they fought/ and thought the Asantes to weave the Kente cloth/ Kpetoe is where it all started from/ Sorry but the spider story can't work no more/ The real name of the cloth is K3- T3/ The Asantes wrongly called it Kente/ The name K3-T3 is from weaving of the cloth/ K3 means open T3 means press,that's Ewe of coz/
Okomfo Anokye's real name Togbe Tsala/ Twin brother Togbe Tsali,Togbe Akplamada their father/ Tsala left Notsie settled in Awukugua/ 3nti Okomfour wor fri Notsie/ Na àdani ab3 y3 Okomfour Anokye/ The greatman who conjured the golden stool/ Which brought Asantes unity and power too/ So when you call Ewes juju people/ Remember,same power behind your kingdom/ And if Asantehene respects Ewe people/why stereotype and disrespect the people/ May be your history teacher never taught any of this/ Is unfortunate a lot of our history has lies and myths/ Do you know the real name of Kwame Nkrumah / It is Francis Nwia Kofi Ngolonma/ I love Nana Yaa Asantewa/ But historians lied about her leading the war/ What she actually did was to incite/ Until the scared men got inspired to fight/ You are Asante and know none of this/ But you look down on any tribe that exists/ You even call yourself Ashanti/ Let me correct you,it is Asante/ Ghana is one,no tribe is superior/ Dont make here Rwanda,you tribal bigot/there are many Asantes who aren't tribalistic/ Loving each other as one is fantastic/
Outro Alvin Toffler,once said The illiterate of the 21st century,will not be those who can't read and write But those who cannot learn,unlearn and relearn.
