Lawyer Anokye Frimpong is a knowledgeable colossus of our history and largely very objective.
God bless him and thank you Kafui for sharing this.

This is simply AWESOME. LONG LIVE LAWYER FRIMPONG. You are a treasure for our beloved Ghana. This is the type of history that needs to be taught across Africa.

I just love this man. I can listen to him forever

[sirlogicghana]

This man will know my father, Kwesi Afoakwah, whom Nkrumah sent to liberate the rest of Africa from colonialism. I was born within that era, on the laps of Julius Nyerere at Agakhan Hospital, Dar-es-salaam. I crawled on the feet of all the new presidents of Africa in our residence in Nairobi, including those, then on the run - Oliver Tambo, Mandela, Mogabi etc I was named after all of them. My father was dubbed, “the son of Africa” among the tributes read by the dignitaries present at his funeral in 1991.

I’d like to share what he wrote on Ghana and African history

General Kafui. I am much grateful for this interview. As for Lawyer Anokye Frimpong. I pray that Almighty Allaah grant you the best of guidance and preserve you ... I wish our arrogant politicians will humble themselves before you for a patriotic wisdom.

[frankowusu]

Thanks a lot

[myzzeffe]

Most grateful to the learned Lawyer Anokye Frimpong. I have really enjoyed the narrative and humbly wants to add some few facts.
* Much of the information we know of the Western Sudanese empires, especially Ghana, comes from travellers and traders from the Ahmoravid empire. The Ahmoravids were Tuaregs and Berbers who converted to Islam and subsequently formed the Ahmoravid empire. The Ahmoravid empire had a common border with Ghana and continued to the Western Sahara, Morocco and later Spain ( Iberian peninsula, which they called Andalus).
Infact, the Akan word for money, Sika, was the Ahmoravid word for minted gold.
According to the Ahmoravid travellers, the official title of the King of Ghana was GANA. I believe it was NANA that they heard as as GANA, since most languages around the world, minus Akan, stress on the first syllable of a word with the stress being on the second syllable in Akan.Today, NANA, NAA, NENE are still the titles of all traditional leaders, priests and elders throughout the country.
* The empire resisted converting to Islam until Mali did and eventually defeated the Ghana empire, thus setting the stage for mass migration southwards into the forest belt.

When I first got u.s in 1999, son of the black Americans called a sell out and I didn’t understand why. It took me 2, years to understand. This man has proof my own research right.

[kobinahagan]

One of many important facts from this interview, which I absolutely love, is the delineation between where/what was referred to as Gold Coast and where/what became known as Ghana. I would encourage people to read the clergyman Reindorf's piece on the history of the Gold Coast and the Ashanti kingdom.

37:00 George Ekem Ferguson was a National hero. He deserves an honour.

NPP only care about honouring party men not national heroes.

Point of correction: the university in Wa was named after Dombo — Simon Diedong Dombo University for Business and Integrated Development Studies (SDD-UBIDS), Wa, Upper West Region.

It is rather the university in Navrongo which was named after Tadem — CK Tadem University for Technology and Applied Sciences (CKT-UTAS), Navrongo, Upper East Region.
