This Two-Face reveal is the goated

@AkanArchives The Akan as a group of tribes or people is not the same as ɔkanniba or ɔkannifoɔ. Similar etymology but they do not refer to the same thing. Akan - first group of people to emerge is not the same as ɔkanniba which can mean a patriot, the child of pioneer or a refined person

@Fran_ADK It is the same thing sir, Okanni & Akanni are both synonymous.

It is ɔkanni ba not akanni, an Akan child or the first born child which piesie should work. ɔkanni or ɔkannifoɔ means pioneer or patriot. Ivor Wilks dives deep in Forests of Gold which gives it a meaning to be a patriot.

@akanspace Not sure this is case. There is another definition for okanniba as a pioneer, patriot or a refined person. Akanniba, an Akan child is not the same as ɔkanniba or ɔkannifoɔ.

Firstborn in the Akan language is Piesie/Peɛseɛ or Abakan, the word Akan itself meaning the first or earliest people (both sharing the root -kan, meaning first) Okanniba means the child of the Akan but it also connotes someone who has been brought up in Akan custom and thusly knows right from wrong in the Akan tradition. It is said that when the personal morals of an Akan are brought into question, he or she may exclaim "Me ye Okanni!" - "I am an Akan!" This, In the words of D. Kiyaga-Mulindwa, meaning "I am a native of this place, knowing all the morals and values of my people, and therefore not one to be suspected of un-becoming behaviour." What the proverb is saying is that disgrace is not befitting of someone who has been raised to know the laws of the land, and the proper conduct of their culture.

Additionally, it could also mean a refined or well mannered person.

This is one of the most important books in any library. The best, as its title says, history of the first 1000 years of Christianity. Almost the last line of the book, which we need to hear in the West “Christianity is an Eastern religion, & its homeland is in the Middle East.”
