Why is there so much historical revisionism in this country? Dzi s3 Nkran became the ceremonial "crown" of defeat asante women wore after the Katamanso war.

Dansinkran: Dancing Crown
1. Circa 1960.
2. Seen here are women of the royal household at Manhyia wearing the dansinkran, a hairstyle that began traditional life originally named kentenkye.

3. To understand how the kentenkye came to be known as dansinkran, one would need to travel back to 1935.

4. The story is told that, during the restoration of the Asante Confederacy, Nana Konadu Yiadom II, Queen Mother & sister of Agyemang Prempeh II, performed the Adowa dance in her kentenkye hairstyle.

5. This inspired the then Governor, Sir Arnold Hodson, to describe her hairstyle as a "dancing crown" because of its visual effect during the dance.

6. The phrase has since then been corrupted as 'dansinkran', which has become the popular name of the hairstyle.

Bullshit.. they will pay the price.all of them.

I ask fellow Africans to moderate their judgment against the unacceptable conduct of some black South Africans with compassion.

Apartheid left an indelible psychological mark on its victims.

As an ideology of racial hierarchy and systemic doctrine of exclusion, white supremacy seeks to diminish the self-identity and self-perception of its victims by means of violence and oppression. This negation persists long after the system is no longer in place.

Our brethren in SA need our understanding and group therapy

Any government that has more powerful entities directing it, is not for the people but to serve financiers. Democracy is Ghana has only subpersons not free living beings.

Dangmes are one of the most silent tribes in Ghana… you barely hear about them. People even think they don’t exist or is it that they are just not on social media?😏

[Afuabe @AfuabeGh]

All land within the commonwealth belongs to the british crown. Now that it's been delegitimized and become hollow, indigenous people can fully own it without a seal of the crown.

Tell me an interesting piece of Ghanaian history no one talks about. 👇🏾

[Afuabe @AfuabeGh]

Piracy’s post‑2020 surge stems from lax enforcement and numerous european vessels plundering Somali waters, not China alone. Blaming them distracts from Somalia’s governance gaps and the multinational nature of illegal fishing fueling coastal desperation. https://t.co/lxML5dLTyf

[Afuabe @AfuabeGh]

Again, you ignore historical facts. European ships dumping toxic waste along Somalia's coast during the 1990s decimated fish stocks and livelihoods. This environmental crime, not Chinese vessels, drove Somali fishermen to attack foreign ships in a desperate act of self-defense.

They were wanted in connection with 14 cases of armed robbery and 28 cases of sexual assault, including rape. All suspects are South African nationals, and the oldest is 13 years old.

[Afuabe @AfuabeGh]

A simple search will prove there were lots of European ships involved in dumping toxic waste in Somali waters led Somalis to directly confront them . Conveniently labeled piracy by western media, but let's blame China

We shouldn't be welcoming an excessively late apology that comes without reparations.

[Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa @S_OkudzetoAblak]

The Government and People of Ghana are deeply proud about the meteoric progress the world is making on reparatory justice following our Ghana-led March 25 landmark UN resolution declaring the transatlantic enslavement as the gravest crime against humanity.

Today, in an unprecedented move, lawmakers in France voted unanimously (254-0) to repeal Code Noir — the atrocious and dehumanizing King Louis XIV slave laws of 1685 which had 60 articles classifying Africans as property and justifying the mutilation of body parts of Africans.

In another momentous development, Pope Leo XIV has commendably issued an apology this week for the role of the Catholic Church in slavery.

The Government of Ghana has already formally welcomed the Pope’s apology.

Ghana is pleased and inspired by these monumental outcomes which demonstrate both the significance and consequential power of the UN Resolution championed by President John Mahama.

Those who thought the landmark Ghana-led resolution massively adopted by 123 UN Member States was a mere academic exercise must be revising their position.

Ghana looks forward to our defining Next Steps Conference on Reparatory Justice being convened by President Mahama from June 17-19, 2026 in Accra to build on these outstanding gains and formulate a common strategy.

I remain absolutely confident that comprehensive reparatory justice shall be achieved in our lifetime.

Victory shall be ours!

For God, Country and Africa.

If the 1st one gets credit:

The slaves of Antigua banned slavery in 1736. The British empire reinstated it

Tacky banned it in 1760. The BE reinstated it

Fedon of Granada banned it in 1796. The BE reinstated it

The slaves of Barbados banned it in 1816. The BE reinstated it

[Afuabe @AfuabeGh]

anti-black tropes of African underdevelopment mostly exported through hollywood shouldn't be amplified in our quest for justice.
