PhysicsQED: A while back you said not to rely on wikipedia in an intellectual debate.

I'll overlook the fact that you did and ask the simple question, where is the actual proof that Fon people take Akan names (not that the wiki article even says that they do anyway)? If they do actually take Akan names, fine. But at least give evidence of that.

PhysicsQED: Fon people take Akan names? Give proof of that and I'll accept the claim.

Dahomey is not relevant because you blindly asserted that? Man, I'm not even going to bother with that one.

Stop deluding yourself. An army was sent out, was defeated and several important nobles/commanders were killed, and the capital was in mourning afterward and they couldn't get revenge on Dahomey out of fear of Dahomey's protector. I've explained the situation to you repeatedly but you keep deceiving yourself.

SmoothCrim: You are confused or drunk. Ashantee had no desire to conquer Dahomey if that is what you are saying The only groups to seriously challenge the Ashantee were other Akan groups and that is what that article says. This was largely a side battle and not one of large interests. It was a debacle and considered a major embarrassment because the kingdoms were viewed as weak when compared to Ashantee!


I am saying the truth maybe you are a Yoruba so can't accept that but, that is the true context.

Esencially what they would be thinking is you have these other competent Akan groups and others coming after you and you can't even beat a weak kingdom like Oyo!!? Overthrow the king and put someone else in power! He's incompetent.

They were largely right too because after the overthrow the kingdoms agenda went back on track. AN agenda which did not consider Oyo to be relevant.

PhysicsQED: You're a lazy fake historian. Do you even know where Dahomey is (was) and were Oyo is (was) located in respect to Asante and the rebel groups?

Dahomey offered assistance to rebels in Bron, Kwawu, and Akyem and that was the cause of hostilities. If you're too dumb and lazy to go and find that out, that's your problem.

But Asante wouldn't dare attack Dahomey after their 1764 defeat for reasons which they made clear themselves and which I've explained to your repeatedly.

PhysicsQED: Do you actually know what you're talking about? Or are you basing your conclusions on one document which does not cite a source for this specific claim?

The Dahomians were the problem as far as rebellious groups and the Asante complained about why they couldn't get revenge on them - the state that was lording over Dahomey at that time.

Please try and actually find out about this stuff and you won't run with start mixing up states.

PhysicsQED: Nobody was attacking it when they decided to attack the Dahomians. You just keep making up stuff and its freaking annoying. If they could attack all the allies in 1765, they could certainly attack the Dahomians, but as they explained themselves, they were apprehensive of war with Oyo.

Rich0018: Nigerians are free to trade in Ghana, all ECOWAS nationals are exempted, i wonder why some folks take delight in posting anti Ghanaian articles just to incite resentments towards Ghana. Majority of Ghanaians recognize that progressive and strong Nigeria will positively impact the sub region if not all Africa. Churches and Mosque in Ghana always pray for stability of Nigeria and wish it to be strong and lead.
The link below is the statement from the Ministry of Trade,all Ecowas nationals are exempted including Nigeria,

SmoothCrim: Here is some context:
"In 1764, however, the- Asantehene had to act when he learnt that the allies had appealed to the
Yoruba state of Oyo for help."

Allies would mean there were many people trying to overthrow the kingdom. He had no intention of actually expanding there but, rushed into battle due to being worried about what I said. A situation where it would be everybody vs. Ashantee... That is the historical lesson. For a king that could bring forth an Army of 200,000 men a force of 10,000 poorly trained soldiers was not an attempt to conquer Oyo. If he wanted to Conquer Oyo he would first have consolidated his power and then, taken his full army.

This is why I say you don't understand West African history. This was clearly to attempt to avoid a situation where it was everybody vs. Asante. Something which eventually happened in the region and ultimately ended the influence of the kingdom. Thus, his fears were right! The Oyo of course had nothing to do with this!!

PhysicsQED: Can you actually read?

They were not besieged by anybody in 1764. They marched out and crossed the Volta of their own will.

This is the dumbest attempt at a rationalization from you yet.

In fact, if you had read your own document, you would have seen that they launched an expedition against other Akan groups in 1765 (but were still too scared to attack Dahomey, because, as I said earlier, they were scared of Oyo).

PhysicsQED: Because you extrapolated that from the summary you read on wiki about rebellions?

Man stop making dumb excuses. Marching out and starting a war with an additional group is not something you do if you're actually being besieged from all sides by your neighbors at the time.

You just get dumber and dumber.

PhysicsQED: I wasn't quoting wikipedia you jacka$$.

I've read the actual documents that I'm talking about. That might be an unheard-of concept to you, but it actually happens.

I couldn't care less about what that wiki page says right now, since the facts of that history have already been written and can't be changed by clicking on "edit".

Later, fake historian.

PhysicsQED: The context is that Asante crossed the Volta to attack Dahomey and got put in check.

Stop making excuses. It looks pathetic.

When Asante gets put in check, it's because "it's a very low point in its history". Fine.

But when Oyo gets attacked it's because it's inherently weak, even though the same Asante that was strong was apprehensive of war with them and said that (not that they were under attack from others). Stop making yourself look dumb with these comments.

The context has already been explained to you. They got put in check and started mourning instead of arming themselves.

london2lasgidi: dont tell us what to do..

focus on ur country...

london2lasgidi: any naija girl wit a ghana man..

tell her i have revoked her naija pass..lmao

the ones wit u guys are crippled and ugly anyway lmao..

u can keep them in ghana lmao..

london2lasgidi: yeah check my earlier posts.

but thiz nicca wont go away..

hez like a pest that wont leave the host alone..lmao

london2lasgidi: make love not love..

but i will tell naija girls to show u ghana guys some love lmao..

it seems that's where the hatred comes from...

ur girls running after us but our girls rejecting u like a leper..

except the rejected, village, and ugly naija girls lmao..

i will pray ghana..

somebody say amen.. lmao..

london2lasgidi: gari? u must be messing wit village women lmao..

who makes gari in naija apart from ancient women in the village? lmao..

so u only get naija villagers? lmao..

i feel sad for u, son..

worship me lmao..

PhysicsQED: After the battle, the capital (Kumasi) was filled with grief and mourning.

There were no other battles going on.

You're not teaching anything. You're showing that you're too lazy to read up on the history of the place you were pretending to be an expert on.

991: lol! 5 friends of mine in ghana are married to ghanian girls, the shameful thing is that those my guys are feeding the entire family of those wives of them. shameless ghana!!!

london2lasgidi: u dont want to see the list of ghana girl that have swallowed my kids lmao..

they have been on my dyck since year 10..

all through college...

and all through uni..

how do u think i know u guys cook jollof rice wit basmalti lmao..

PhysicsQED: lol, you're obviously not the history expert you thought you were. Look it up and stop making a fool of yourself here.

london2lasgidi: smile when you worship me..

you need me cos your little oil cant sustain your big arse head lmao..

amoeba heads havin' ugly people lmao..

london2lasgidi: i give them my semen to drink and design their ghana faces with it..lmao

are u from ghana?

soz im not homoerotic like you guys, and i dont talk to men..

mind ya business, mate..

london2lasgidi: shid, im proud of feedin' ya b.itches my semen lmao...

ya bi.tches have swallowed millions of my potential naija kids..lmao

im your god, worship me ghana man..

PhysicsQED: The whole context has already been given but you just refuse to acknowledge it. Asante infringed on Dahomey and was put in check. That's the context. You would have known this already though if you were anything other than a fake history expert.

Now go and worry about the Fulanis in Ghana that your people are complaining about and stop kissing Fulani butt.

london2lasgidi: alamo bitter is hereby banned from naija..

gollywood.. whatever that shid means is hereby banned..

ghana will be bombed to the anals of history lmao..

naija president approves this message lmao..

london2lasgidi: shid any naija girl that mess wit a burned ghana chimp needs her naija identity revoked..

ghana belongs in the bin bag on africa..

country of pongs.. acheampong, obopong, amanpong, afrimpongs lmao..

cu.nt face havin' ghana chimps. lmao

PhysicsQED: The Oyo put Asante in check and the monarch of Asante did nothing about it. Fact.

Keep kissing Hausa and Fulani a$$ though. Maybe one day they'll notice you.

PhysicsQED: lol @ this

Trust me, the oyibo I'm talking about, far from writing negative propaganda about it, was actually praising Ashanti at several points.

I know you like to just throw out conjectures about places and people you haven't read about though, so it's to be expected of you.
And there is no such thing as a dumb physics nerd. That's an oxymo[i]r[/i]on, you mo[i]r[/i]on.
