@lilmisstetteh @DeBee_papa There are Fante communities as far as Angola. We're all indeed connected.

@EsounShaw @DeBee_papa I am part Fante too but I didn’t know about people migrating in the 1800’s I was talking about even before then but that’s also very cool. I love how the whole continent is just really connected

There is no tribe in Ghana called Yoruba, Igbo or Fulani.. Let that sink in.. Yoruba are Nigerians You can never change our history

@lilmisstetteh @DeBee_papa Exactly. The Ade-Cokers, Da Rocha, the Balagouns and the likes have been hear since late 1800s. There's a Fante community in Nigeria who have been there since the colonial times. I'm very sure Nigerians classify them as Nigerians.

@DeBee_papa Err this isn’t entirely true, some Ghanaians have Yoruba ancestry and the Fulani are nomadic so they are all over west Africa. I am a 100% Ghanaian yet I am 30% Nigerian according to my DNA test. My family has been in Ghana since the GA’s migrated here.

@samgeorgegh Just do your job, bro. The one you said you'd do. If you won't or can't, just tell us. I know sometimes doing is actually harder than expected. Don't be going round in circles Big Man.

Dear X, In 2017, when many were afraid to speak for the NDC after the massive 2016 election defeat, a few of us stood up and filled the gap. I was on TV and radio, sometimes 3 times a day. I was on the floor of Parliament as part of a paltry 106 against the NPP's 169. I made sure my voice was heard! Today, I see the slicing and reposting of old videos to set an agenda. I smile and say, "I have paid my dues." You may think you are cooking, but with each video you post, you show the stripes on my shoulder as I fought to bring my party - the NDC - to power. I stood for something I believed in - the return of JM. When former Ministers refused to speak and defend, I did, and I have ABSOLUTELY no regrets. So, dig deeper, you will find 10,000s of videos of me toiling either on the screens or in Parliament. Today, JM is back in power with an even bigger victory than we lost in 2016. We have almost 190 MPs in Parliament. I paid my due, and I hold my head high. Now ask yourself, what have you stood for or achieved? If you think my hustle is simple, like we say on the streets, do make we see! The fact that I have chosen peace does not mean that I am asleep. You think you are agenda-ing, you are simply writing my political memoirs, and I am reading with delight at the testimony of the work we did and achieved. This one is a #TuffSeed. Go and ask your predecessors and be told! Nothing you say about me today is new and has not been told to me before. And oh, let me add the emojis. 🦁🇬🇭 #EyesFixedOnThePrize #LionBorn #HyeWonHye #ThatWhichFireCannotBurn

@kfinebuoi @Ks_mayor @funshographix Guy, I'm a Ghanaian. This is just a fact. Yorubas and other ethnic groups like Mande have been here in 1800s. Just check.

@EsounShaw @Ks_mayor @funshographix Yoruba was never in Ghana in 1800, you fraudsters.

Yoruba didn't have a King in South Africa. South Africans & Yoruba don't have history together. Yoruba has King in Ghana because we have history together. The Oyo Empire extended to Ghana not only Togo or Benin Republic. The Yoruba King in Ghana has been existing since the 1800s. You'll never see Yoruba brag about this or still disrespect the people of Ghana. Yoruba & Ibo aren't on the same level. When Yoruba were building empires. Ibo were still walking naked.

@nigraroma @TYFOndoEkiti @AKakanfo Check definitions of Indigenes, Assimilated and Integrated. I'm sure you will see the sense. If you don't, then I'm sorry for you.

@EsounShaw @TYFOndoEkiti @AKakanfo What youre saying doesnt make sense

Until you expel the Brimahs and the Tabooms out of Ghana then I will take you serious. You can only say this kind of nonsense on social media because of lack of history and proper education. Ghana is not an ethnicity, it is a geopolitical construct. We have Akans in Ivory Coast. We have Hausas in Ghana. We have Ewes in Ghana. The Tabooms and Brimahs are all Yorubas.

@AKakanfo Your confusion is your misunderstanding or misuse of the word 'indigenes'. How can they be indigenes if they came to meet people who had been there for more than 400 years? Even the Ga people came to meet the Guans. You're using recent history as your base.

Are the Tabooms and Brimahs indigenes of Accra? Is the Brimah royal stool officially recognised as a chief?

@Ks_mayor @funshographix There's no implication from the post that they are Ghanaians. And yes, they have been here since the mid 1800s. Get your facts right first.

@funshographix Yoruba are not indigenous people in Ghana Ghana doesn't have any tribe called Yoruba And it's a big fact lie that Yorubas was in since 1800. Yoruba aren't Ghanaian, get your fact right and stop spreading lies

@TYFOndoEkiti @AKakanfo If the argument is that they come from Ghana, then it's wrong. If the argument is that they are part of the Ghanaian society then you're right. But the fact remains that Yorubas in Ghana are migrants and thus integrated. The Tabons however are assimilated not integrated.

@EsounShaw @AKakanfo Then they are indigenes since they've been Assimilated into the Gã nation, so what's the rancor all about?

@AKakanfo 2/There is no tribe called Tabon. They have mainly been integrated into other tribes mainly the Ga and Fante tribe. My ancestor (Da Rocha) for example is one who was settled in Nigeria before coming to Ghana. His descendants have become Fantes.

@AKakanfo 1/ The Tabom are ex slaves brought to Ghana around 1830s. They have Yourba ancestry. They however did not know the exact place they come from in the Yoruba land thus they were spread across Nigeria, Benin, Togo and Ghana. Ghana because we had Yoruba migrants here.

@AsafoFlags As a Fante I taya sef. Amongst the Akan languages, it's easier for a Fante to understand all the Twis so I believe it's from 1 tree. Akuapem Twi even sounds like a mix of Fante and Asante/Akeym Twi. The other Akan language like Nzema, Awin (Bono even) is harder to understand.

The Fante language is not Twi

@AsafoFlags I'm Fante and I don't see the wrong in saying Fante is a Twi dialect. Am I missing something?

@Shadaya_Knight We had an Igbo King in Ghana last year, nobody burnt or destroyed anything. Just a quiet protest against it. This one is too much - things can escalate quickly.

Vehicles, buildings, stock amongst many things have been set on fire by angry black South Africans in East London after the installation of an Igbo King Igbo King refers to a Nigerian king of one of it's main tribes the Igbos. It was reported that some days ago, Nigerians installed a King on South African soil, which has ignited the attacks Already South Africans and Nigerians have tensions, with the natives of the land accusing the foreigners of selling drugs and prostituting their women Whilst the Nigerians say these claims are not factual, accusing the black South Africans of being lazy and having little d!cks More to follow

@luoisdei @kwakuhelate1 Fantes unlike Asantes are not a unit. So Elmina, Cape Coast, Saltpond, Mankessim, Anomabo etc are seperate and different entities.

@kwakuhelate1 Elmina was an ally of Asante. The Dutch was an ally of Asante against the Broader Fante group & the English. Perhaps if you know this u won’t dispute what he’s said. Baidoo Bonsu was that powerful the Dutch will have to activate all their alliances to capture him.

Fantis and Asantes teaming up in 1838 ?😹 Whatever book you’re reading this bs from burn it now

@mfnfante @kwakuhelate1 Not all Fantes but the Elmina, Cape Coast, Kormantse and to some extent Anomabo Fantes and that business included selling of captives to the white or being middle men. They also sold captives they got from their own wars/battles with other factions.

@EsounShaw @kwakuhelate1 Fantes were merchants, not serious culprits. Get your historical facts right

Atorkor slave market. Hedzranowo Slave market All in Volta Region but no let’s blame the Asantes 🤣

@0panaa_1 @spartankimmich Assay, feel free. I taya sef. Enjoy the banter. Just make sure we're winning. 😎

@EsounShaw @spartankimmich Ebi banter,I will

World Cup goals Ahmed musa ~4 goals Abedi pele (parody pele)~0 goals

@0panaa_1 @spartankimmich Not really. Currently in Morocco on vacation. But try use Gh Pidgin more.

@EsounShaw @spartankimmich Are you depressed in real life or something?

@evilsaint___ @0panaa_1 @spartankimmich U see oo. I'm even worrying myself.

@EsounShaw @0panaa_1 @spartankimmich omo you too serious oo 😭😭, social media isn’t real life oo

@MAYKINGN @Manasseh_Azure That's a wrong answer. Someone has already answered it best. Check the comments.
