    Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire are much alike! We have Kouame when Ghaneans have Kwame. The saddest thing is that we are neighbors but we dont really know each other. We are brothers separated at birth and adopted by French family for the Ivorians and a British family for the Ghaneans. When Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire will reunite i can tell you we will be a formidable force in West Africa. Thanks to Wode Maya for showing us that Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana share more things in common than people on both sides of the border can imagine.

      Kouame, Kwame is the same name, usually given to a male born on Saturday.
      It is only that Cote d'Ivoire use a French convention to write it.
      Ghana through its bureau of languages & predecessor standardised certain local languages. So Kwame is in fact the correct spelling (Ghana uses latin characters and some ipa such as ɔ, ɛ, ʃ & ŋ which neither french or english use)
      There are of course variations in pronounciation and sometimes spelling due to various languages.
      It is unfortunate we dont understand this
      But as an example the people like Banda and Nzema straddle both countries and this happened long before those artificial lines imposed by invaders from europe were drawn up.
      We need to understand that and realise we are ONE

      There's nothing surprise about this as far as the Mali Empire is concerned, as there was a city called Gana but not Ghana where the Akans were living with their neighbours who also migrated to Ivory coast when their king Soumangourou Kanté was killed by the famous Soundjiata Keita with a spur of a white rooster as result of the migration of the Akans to the then gold coast (Ghana).Never forget that the Mali empire was very massive and extended to Burkina,Niger,Chad, Ivory Coast,Senegal ect but in general there is a strong connection between our people of the west Africa as most of them settled in that empire for many years since the fall of Egypt empire that their ancestors ruled before the arrival of the Arabs in years 665-to 689 to protect Egypt from flank attack by Byzantine and Cyrene.

    We have been divided by Anglophone, Francophone, and all other languages, we are so bent out of shape and proud of these languages, which has removed us far from each other. Now that we know better what are doing to integrate ourselves through economic activities. If we can socially unite, why not create an opportunity that we can make money together? Money can unite us faster and move us forward than anything we can think about.

I merely pointed out the inaccuracy of your claim that they are one Akan people and pointed out the real ethnicities of the majority of the people. Fact is no group in Togo identifies as Akan. There are descendants of Akans there because you had Akan warriors travelling in the region to fight wars against or for Dahomey in different centuries and those warriors naturally had relations with local women on the one hand, or Guan-Fanti canoemen who settled in these areas but but it doesnt mean the offspring identify as Akan. The culture of the peoples are Guan, Ga-Gun-Mina, Adangbe, ewe, Adja, Yoruba, etc not Akan.

    Long before colonisation, Fanti fishermen had settled fishing villages along the Ivorian coast all the way to Liberia. Those communities were found around Abidjan where you find places named Anoumabo and a neighborhood of Abidjan called Koumassi. But Fanti fishermen were also settled in Jacqueville, Grand Lahou and Fresco. Most of the Fanti who settled among the Kru people like in Fresco, in South Western Ivory Coast, have been absorbed into the Kru (Godié) people and have lost their language and tradition. But some of their descendants who are now Kru (Godié) have some of the fanti names and Akan names. The Fanti are traditionally known as Awlan among traditional Ivorians.

      @@markntiri8251 My belief is that human beings have been in West Africa for millions of years and migrations have happened back and forth from West Africa to central, Southern and Eastern Africa mostly with the groups refered to as bantu who are classified as Niger Congo ethno.linguistic family. But migrations into West Africa from North Africa and from the Sudan area also occured from groups known as Nilo Saharans and Afro Asiatics. Now, I know migrations from present day Ghana occured westward into present day Burkina Faso with the Mossi who came out of the Dagomba and also with the Lobi into Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso, and also many Akan groups like the Brong moved to Ivory Coast from the Brong Ahanfo region of Ghana. But when it comes to Nigeria, I would rather believe that migration happened hundreds of thousands of years ago from Nigeria and Cameroon into Bemin, Togo, Ghana and , Ivory Coast mostly on the coastal area. I noticed that many names found in Nigeria and Cameroon are also found among coastal people of Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo and Benin. Names like Adu ( spelled Adou in Ivory Coast), is found in Cameroun, Nigeria (Sade Adu), Ghana ( Nanan Akuffo Adoo, and in Ivory Coast among the Agni, The Dida, the Avikam, the Adioukrou, the Dida and the Godié of Ivory Coast.Sierra Leone have a lot of Yoruba who were released there by European vessels that was freeing captives from Nigeria on their way to be sold as slaves in the Americas. Many from.the Congo area were also released into Monrovia in Liberia. So I don't believe the Southern Nigeria. Groups that you have named migrated from Ghana. I will think that the migration into Ghana came from Nigeria instead. The Ga and Ewe people are somehow related to the Yoruba.
