Interesting! I once read somewhere that during the Berlin convention in late 1800's. The Yorubas or the Anago people as known back then, were divided into three equal halves. A third in Nigeria, a Third in Benin rep and the last third in Togo. Can someone verify this? 1 Like |

Wasn't the yewe dude that was already busted as a Nigerian pretending to be Ghanaian during the argument between him and dede1? Anyway, in NL Brixtonye was a white man from Britian. In NL anybody can be anybody SMH. The f2king website embarrass me all the time to other Africans.

Ewe According to Professor D.E.K. Amenumey, the Ewe people originally came from Ketu, a Yoruba area in Benin, but were eventually forced to migrate eastward as a result of Yoruba expansion. However, another source claims that the original Ewe homeland is Oyo in western Nigeria and yet another source suggests that the Ewe originally migrated from Kotu or Amedzowe east of the Niger. It is believed that the Ewe migrated into Ghana in the fifteenth century. ^^The guy is not lying. 3 Likes |

@Post Interesting! Quite a number of African ethnic groups are closely or distantly inter related one way or another but the tribalism and ethnocentrism that continues to plague us as a people will not allow us to put aside our petite differences and learn more about each other. Oh well! 4 Likes |

Yewe2011: Aha. Like I've mentioned so many times majority of my friends are Ghanaians from Ewe to Ashante to Akan to Fante, to Lolobi, to Ada to Bono etc and it is easy for me to tell a Nigerian from a Ghanaian. On NL: I don't care anymore, I tried to make sense of it, couldn't understand reason it so I stopped caring. As long as it's not pretension of my ethnic group nor related ethnic groups, I do not give f2k. Do you shikena!!! 2 Likes |

shymmex: Yea I don't want to speak for Ga's but according to my mother it's taught in schools that Ga originate in Ile-Ife. Ga people are predominant in Greater Accra Region which is their homeland. But I'm not sure they are the majority anymore as there are other Ghanaian groups who overtime have relocated in Accra (the capital and main commercial city) 2 Likes 1 Share |

eku_bear: I wish that we had written records from that time. Really sucks that so much history from 1000AD onwards is basically forgotten, or reduced to myth/rumor/talesThere are records but maybe not in written words but in songs and folk-tales. I must commend the Ewe/Ga people to keeping the culture and the heritage real and passing it down to there children. It is really commendable by them. With that said, it is quite unfortunate that the ones closer to home (Binis) are in denial. Maybe it has to do with the way Nigeria is who knows. Anyway goodluck to them. 4 Likes |
