[quote author=Yoruba_Omoge]All these "rough" looking children with running nose.

How hard is it to wash your kids?

That's why you see them with their own fly family, flying around after booty.[/quote]lol, drought.

[quote author=~Royal~]But Annoy6 Said North Africans Are not African....So i think she will object to this.[/quote]How can someone not be African when their country is in Africa and they are indigenous? What stup!dity is that?

@Topic, for the akan people, there are more subgroups but I am putting only two.

Akan
Location: Ghana

subgroups:
Akuapem-Language: Akuapem (Akan cluster of Twi)
History:
Akuapem are one group of several Akan peoples living in southern Ghana and southeastern Côte d'Ivoire. Akan is a generic term which refers to a large number of linguistically related peoples. The largest and best known ethnic groups include Asante and Fante peoples, who live in southern Ghana, and Baule and Anyi peoples in southeastern Côte d'Ivoire. The rise of the early Akan centralized states can be traced to the 13th century and is related to the opening of trade routes established to move gold throughout the region. It was not until the end of the 17th century, however, that the grand Asante Kingdom emerged in the central forest region of Ghana, when several small states united under the Chief of Kumasi in a move to achieve political freedom from the Denkyira. The Asante confederacy was dissolved by the British in 1900 and colonized in 1901. Although there is no longer a centralized Akan confederacy, Akan peoples maintain a powerful political and economic presence.

Asante or Ashanti-Language: Asante (Akan cluster of Twi)
History:
The rise of the early Akan centralized states can be traced to the 13th century and may be related to the opening of trade routes established to move gold throughout the region. It was not until the end of the 17th century, however, that the grand Asante Kingdom emerged in the central forest region of Ghana, when several small states united under the Chief of Kumasi in a move to achieve political freedom from the Denkyira. It is said that the Golden Stool of the Asante descended from heaven to rest on the knees of Osei Tutu, the first Ashantehene, who was guided by his adviser the priest Okomfe Anokye.

The Golden Stool became the focal point of the creation of the Akan confederacy, of which the most important people were the Asante. The Asante dominated Ghana for the next 200 years and are still a dominant political force today.

Religion:
The spiritual center of the Asante alliance is the mystical Golden Stool. It is believed to have descended out of the skies in the late 17th century as a result of the prayers of Okomfo Anokye, chief priest of the King of Asante, Nana Osei Tutu. The stool was presented to the people after the defeat of the Denkyira, and Anokye declared that it contained the spirit of the whole of the Asante nation and that all of the strength of the nation depended on the safety of the stool. Essentially, the stool embodies the political unity of the Akan states and the power of the chiefs of Asante. Another essential part of Asante religion is the honoring of departed kings who are represented by stools which have been blackened during a sacrificial ceremony. Although the golden stool is clearly a more visible representation of the spiritual link to the King, it is the blackened stool that truly honors the strength and continuity of the throne.

Lef hand= when you leave hand on something. Eg: if someone held you up there and you did something which changes their views, they will say you lef hand-the h is usually left out.
In other words: you don fall for my hand.
