Miss Trudy thank you very much 🙏
I am forever Grateful Mum 🙏
Awwwww! You are the best! Thank you for taking us round and for everything . We appreciate you.
@@MissTrudyy The name is Asante, because the British couldn't pronounce it well, the called it Ashanti
@ponchocross. .. thanks for taking them round.. You did a fantastic job but please next time be on top of issues. Some of your informations were not accurate 🤝
@@MissTrudyy point of correction, Ashanti kingdom has only one king, the rest are paramount chiefs, sub chiefs and divisional chiefs. Your tour guide is not helping you out. Next time, get a professional tour guide.
@@clementasampana4402 Well in the local Akan languages, there is nothing like chief. Everyone is called ohen or ohene, which means a king. Hence everyone is his own king on their land and the Otumfour is the king of Kings in Asante Kingdom
The Prime Minister of The Republic of Trinidad & Tobago Dr. Keith Christopher Rowley was in Ghana to celebrate King Otumfuo Osei Tutu II's 25th year of ascension to the Golden Stool and reign as King of Asante.
Dad really loves his son in law ❤️❤️. Lucky Maya he'll enjoy the 'father in law' love by himself since he's the only one 😂😂😂😂
😂😂
The king visited Trinidad last year. It is good to see where he is from, thanks Trudy.

You missed out a lot
Thank you for sharing
We do an all night dance party with a live band for funerals in some parts of Jamaica. It is called Nine Night.
Always seeing DAD, my heart feels with love and respect ❤.send me my baby from South Africa 🇿🇦 they are all beautiful 👌
I've always known Ghanian materials/ fabric to be the best. They are so unique, good quality and beautiful.
Ghana has some beautiful fabrics. Trudy sweetie, I wish to see how these made in Ghana fabrics are made from the factory.
The Asantehene is not the King of Ashanti Region. He is the King of Asante, his Kingdom spreads into part of other regions and as far as the Ivory Coast.
Exactly. The tour guard need to learn more of Asante history
Road to a million subscribers ❤.
Let's watch and share😊
Amen
I will go there and buy my kente too😊nice touring with us ❤
Please do
Asante woman representing 🎉❤✌🏿💐🇬🇭
Beautiful people
Eagerly waiting for Takoradi videos. Thanks for this enjoyable video. Please is it possible to explore where the Ghana clothings are done?
Wow! Miss Trudy has finally gone to my hometown capital. Is so amazing .
Awwww! What an interesting vlog! Thanks for watching, Trudy! My son was like why are you watching this, mummy? We live in Kumasi we know everything. 😂. I enjoyed watching. Your guide did a great job taking you to all the relevant places within such a short time. I wish we would take better care of our lake 😢. That was the only sad part of this vlog for me. Hope you enjoyed yourself.
Hahaha🥳! Thanks for watching… I hope I represented your home well.
Dad looks like a Ghanaian elder...Enjoy dad you deserve it❤
This big tree is the kum tree. Out of it we had kumase meaning under kum tree
That tree is over 300 years old
Great job Trudy, been waiting for you to showcase Ghana more. Thanks😍😍
Your wish is my command
The guide is not explaining things properly! The palace is a huge complex and Otumfuo's private residence is on the grounds. The original residence is where the museum now is.
I bet you'll do better...lol
Did he actually say that we eat Peacocks in Ghana? …😂😂😂Mehn, really?!!! 🤦🏻♀️
@@williamgamelisenaya793 l definitely will!
True...he needs to be on top of Asante and Kumasi history. Guides must know the facts before they speak.
It's a bird isn't it like chicken 🐣🐦🐥🐔🐓🐤🦃🦤🦢!😋😋
Trudy I really love your energy in this video. The excitement to show your dad Kumasi, is a joy to watch 😊
😊 thank you
The energy is so much 😂😂
Hi Trudy as a Jamaican I was always interested in the Ashanti people THANK YOU for that insight also your dad loves history he is so intelligent. Nuff love 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Most welcome dear! ❤️
@@MissTrudyy this fabric are not woven kente, however they are printed in kente style! So it not necessarily African but rather Ghanaian print fabric because the style is pattern Ghanaian specific.
We are not called Ashanti people...the word is ASANTE. It's the white people that couldn't pronounce the word, while they planted themselves here, helping themselves to our resources and our people, and they kept saying Ashanti, so they are the ones that spread it to the world that way, but when u hear true Asantes speak, in their language, u will never hear them using that crazy word Ashanti, and some of the youth who have also picked it up. they always refer to themselves as ASANTES. This is why it's so frustrating when visitors come to Ghana, wish they will have adults teach them about the country and the true and real history of the country instead of these young people just trying to make a living, I just wish they will love their country and their jobs enough to learn the real history of the country, like the ones at the dungeons. Thanks.
Trudy, u need to talk to grown ups like your dad's age to learn about a country's history, not young people. No adult ASANTE person will ever tell u that u can use ASHANTI and ASANTE, becos, the word itself has historically always been ASANTE!! Please stick to the right word, becos we the grown ups get frustrated when we hear people saying that wrong word. The people have always always been ASANTE PEOPLE,and they speak ASANTE TWI. It's those crazy muzungus that couldn't pronounce the word when they got there, while they were helping themselves to our resources and our humans, they were butchering some of our Names and words, and like everything else they touch, they just made that wrong word travel around and made it seem like the right name of the tribe...but no, it's ASANTE...thank u, enjoy Kumasi and it's richness. Say hi to dad.
Miss Trudy, the king has over 66 paramouncies/chiefs under him and some are in other regions
The tree is called the Indian rubber tree ! Was planted bck in 1916
Take another guide from Kumasi and lead you all your ways, so that you can get everything clear.
Great suggestion
Wow! It seems Kumasi is moe industrial than Accra. Thanks Trudy i have learnt something today about Kumasi💕
It is.... Most local items are made right there, and not China
My pleasure 😊
I will visit this place soon My Prime Minister was there to the Kings 25th Anniversary and King Atumfour was in Trinidad and Tobago yesterday
I am always interested in the Ashanti Region, as many Jamaican slaves came from the area including Nanny and her brothers; so the Maroons in Jamaica ancestry is from Ghana Ashanti Region. I hope one day the King of Ashanti can invite the Jamaican Maroon Colonels to his kingdom. That would be a great connection and making of history.
I know, right? Me too! So much to learn from this region…
That kind of tree is called banyan tree I think as well another name I can't recall.There are many in the Caribbean especially where there are ruins,sugarcane estates,historical places of interest.
I think most where used for gatherings of all sorts even weddings,storytelling,news of the day,meet up and waiting for their weekly wages after working hard on the plantations,etc.
The rock that fell from the sky is a " Meteorite... pronunciation: ME-TEe-O-RITE". Enjoying the tour of Kumasi and the lake. God Bless you all!!!
Thanks for the information
@@MissTrudyyyour tour guide is too dull!
You did meet the right guy to tour you around , the guy knows nothing even he said we eat peacocks and that is not true
Oh! Is that so?
@@MissTrudyy 😂is he a professional guide or took up the role just for a day because he doesn't know much.
Great job princess. Can't wait to see more of Ghana through your lenses. 🤗🤗🤗
More coming soon 😍
Mrs Trudy, you know more about Ghana than the Ghanaians..I'm Proud of you ❤. You show respect & Love of your husband people. May the Most High God ,Bless & Keep you and your family for ever more.😊
Thank u for showing me so much' i dident know' i love africa'
Welcome 🤗 ❤️
@@MissTrudyy ✊️✊️
I like the guy the who is telling the lakr story he is a good story teller
Love this video, very informative. Can't wait for part 2.❤❤
Keep on enjoying lasting memories with your Dad and brother
Thank you, I will
GIRL your intro is 🔥🔥🔥 ❤ it it’s so good to see ur Dad again just enjoying life Great blog ❤❤❤
Please send me the orange one I live Canada 🇨🇦
Awwwwww! Thank you for your kind words 😀
My oh mine, I bought these clothes 300 cedis in Accra (equivalent to £17) shock to see in Kumasi for only 60 cedis (equivalent to £3.69) that hurts 😢
It also depends on the number of yards
There are differences in quality. That one you bought might have been of a higher quality than the one being sold at Kumasi for 60 cedis.
No one buys six yards of cloth for 60 cedis. It is inferior quality and will not last long. Good quality wax prints lasts for a long time without fading. GTP and ATL prints are more expensive but lasts a lifetime. Check the hem of the cloth you bought, if it is GTP or ATL then you have no problem. The only problem would be if you were given a Chinese imitation for 300 cedis.
I am watching from nyc thanks fr taking me here , loving this Ghana market
Miss Trudy you know much better than the tour guide 😅
Nice video, Miss Trudy! Thanks for showing us around the city of Kumasi! Blessings for continued safe travels.🤗🌹
Go to Bonwire. That's where Kente is originally from. You will get affordable ones there sis.
More love❤❤❤❤
Keep going keep growing.
Backing you up always ❤
Beautiful video but wait oo, Kenkey at 5 cedis is crazy!
As a Namibian it would be too "peoplely" for me 😅 our markets will only have 3% of 44 000 people on a very busy day. 😂 🇳🇦
I know, right?
I'm there very soon ..❤
That is why I love West Africa. I feel like I am in Africa. They have not been so stripped of their culture by European domination. I see myself in them.
THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR TRIP IN GHANA TRUDY, VERY INFORMATIVE VLOG..
Trumaya tuko hapa, supporting our girl 🎉🎉🎉❤!
I appreciate you ❤️
Wow miss Trudy so you came to our Kumasi and you didn’t let me know Eii 😮 anyway you are highly welcome and Enjoy yourself dear ❤
I thought you were busy! 😄
@@MissTrudyy we are on this together dear. If you had reached out to me I would have gladly made my self available sharp sharp 😄 because I really need to meet you and wode maya. Atleast meet you and we do Hot contents in Kumasi. Remember I’m a Nigerian living my best life in Kumasi.
Don't forget to enjoy Fufu in Kumasi😋...🇬🇭💛🖤💚
Am so excited 😊 to see you and your family in Ghana kumasi. Wow so nice 👏 Keep going miss Trudy.
Great video Trudy! you'll be able to find answers to all the questions you asked on TortoisePath - whether it's Ghana 🇬🇭, Kenya 🇰🇪 or beyond...
Trudy, please what you have in your hands is not kente. This is a Chinese replica of our kente. Kente is very expensive and even a small kente stole (the one they drape around their necks during graduation ceremonies.) will cost way more than 60 cedis. Kente is a very expensive hand woven material that we take great pride in as Ghanaians. I wish your guide had taken the opportunity to explain things to you.
Oh! Really?! Omg!
The guide did them a great disservice. You are absolutely right, what she was holding was a cheap Chinese kente print not Kente fabric. Kente is extremely heavy and dense and yes when you go to Bonwire than now has an excellent museum you will see the real fabric costs hundreds of dollars. You heard that right dollars not cedis.
Yes it's cheap Chinese replicas. Real Kente is not massed produced. Buy the real thing. It's an investment that'll last for years.
There many chiefs in Kumasi but Otumfour is the King of them all and the King of the Akan Tribe
Wow I see myself in the Kejetia market ❤❤❤❤❤
All are Beautiful 😍
Thank you Sister
for Sharing🙏❤️
Thank you too
Buy the organic woven
Bearded fig tree.
Love Ghanaian fabrics and Kentes.❤
I remember Volta Lake from my Geography class- will you visit here as well?
Its always a joy to watch you trudy
You are so so sweet! ❤️
Here we go,yeessssss,let sit down and explore with you 🎉
Enjoy! 😀
That tree was planted by the chief priest called okomfo anokye who commanded the Golden stool from the sky🌌 and that tree🌲 🌴 is called kum,that is where they named Kumasi after the tree🌴 it's a history dear
So informative.... Thank you
Wow! Important information! Thanks for sharing…
@@MissTrudyyYup! Your dad was right. He seems to know plants cos he said the roots means it’s old. That tree is close to 400 years old
Kum ase meaning under the kum tree= kumase
ase= under
Kum= name of the tree
@@niiadu1983 it's a living tree🌴 🌴 and that's the one at manhyia
According to the history the chiefs were fighting over the capital city of the Ashanti and they were, then King👑 of kumawu and then King osei tutu
Okomfo Anokye came out and called all the rulers of the Ashanti empire and said I'm going to plant🪴 trees (two)for the two chiefs and whose tree🌳 🌴 survive will be the head state of Ashanti's empire
The one planted at kumawu didn't survive and that's why they named there kum-awu(kumawu)means dead tree and the survival tree🌴 🌴 🌴 Kum-asi(kumasi)means a living tree🌴 🌴 🌴 and is the one located at manhyia now, and that tree🌴 🌴 🌴 is also the strength of the Ashanti's
😂😂Being fully Ghanaian, I have never heard of this story about that lake
Omg! Really?! 😃
The guy actually did a great job explaining the history of the lake. I was impressed. There’s a documentary about the meteorite that caused the lake on the history channel
Your guy is wrong, kindly inbox me next time you come and ill take you out for free. Real kente is made in Bonwire, Volta and Northern. We don't dance at wake keepings..it is a solemn moment and in the olden days, this was the first night the body is brought home, clean and ready for people to pay their last respect early in the morning.
If you are in Ghana next year May when i come down, I will definitely take you round other places.
Sure i will! Thank you for watching❤️
As for lake bosomtwe, the people there take unnecessary money.
With the Kente it depends on what style or the message it’s sending out there. Some can even go for extra $$. But it also depends on where you get it from. Kente is a handmade material with which sends so much messages out there. And mostly the king is the first to wear to send messages to his people or to his enemies. So probably you may have bought the one that goes first extra $$$
I lived in Kumasi as a child at Adum. You should visit Bonwire. Where Kente Cloths are woven with traditional looms. The Asantehene is also fondly called King Solomon.
I stayed in Adum before
Surely next time❤️
@MissTrudy.. that new building is not a museum. It's a 2000 capacity hall for programmes
What kind of programms?
@@MissTrudyyPalace events as well as the Kings meetings with his 70 paramount chiefs or 2000 plus sub chiefs
@@MissTrudyy .. For hosting palace events like dinner, Chiefs conference, national events etc
@@MissTrudyyI think you did bad by not getting the right person, the guy has given wrong information throughout
@@CREG-xo8hr
For sure, the guy didn't know a lot of things. Even when @Misstrudy challenged him over the correct name of the cloth he couldn't teach her the right thing.
That cloth is also called kente(only that it wasn't a locally woven kente) but it has the kente prints or designs.
To 500 subs for this Kenyan gal ...Trudy plan me well well for the kitenge..my birthday is soon ..Gal on 🔥..i love this lady.
Let's be serious in this country okay 😔Tourism is a serious business and as such we need Tour guards that can express themselves well in the queens language.
I know, right?
@@MissTrudyy
🤭😌 I wonder how they got the job there
It's already late here but I had to watch this video before I sleep 😂
Edit: National Centre for Civic Education (NCCE), popularly known as Cultural Centre is near the Kejetia market and they make beautiful hair briads.
The Kumasi culture centre has historical heritage linkked to the Manhyia palace so it's good to visit the two for broader understanding of the history.
Yes my Kumasi lady miss Trudy you do all
Trudy ,Dad and Gibson Akwaba to Kumasi ❤❤❤,
Medasee!
Trudy, the tree is a fig tree
Trudy and her family are in my City and shopping at the same shopping area i always shop at and i couldn't see them. Aw i hope next time will do😀.
Anyways welcome to the Ashanti region 🇬🇭
Trudy, your choice of two colours is beautiful. ❤ ❤
Oh thank you!
Your dad needs a Ghanaian identity and I will call him Kofi. Welcome to Kumerica
Hahaha! I shall let him know😅
Kumericans we re here 😊😊❤❤❤❤
@@MissTrudyyMr Kofi ❤❤❤
Next time please let’s arrange someone more knowledgeable on the area. Dad would have asked so many questions to feed his curiosity on all the things he has read about if the tour guide had depth.
This comment..I concur 💯
Next time!
Love your content truddy
Thank you!
Yikes! You went to Manyhia Palace and did not tour the museum especially with the returned Asante artifacts??? What a missed opportunity! The museum is excellent and worth every penny especially with the upgrades that have just been made. And your chances of meeting the American ambassador are 100 times more likely than meeting the Asantehene……not impossible but in many ways President Akuffo Addo is more accessible than Otomfuor.
Damn… maybe next time …
I hope you are able to return soon! There is nothing remotely close to this in East Africa, and I would know because I was born and raised in Kenya. Not sure the Kabaka’s palace in Uganda is this well maintained. The Asante Empire is one of the greatest that existed on the continent and the fact that majority of its infrastructure is still intact in contemporary times is something you want to experience.
@@MissTrudyyOnly occasion days, you can catch a glimpse of the Asantehene.
Wow,,beautiful vitenges,,, incredible kumasi it is,, ❤❤❤
Yes they are
Go to Bonwire where you will see Kente being woven
Where is that?
@@MissTrudyy just outside Kumasi
@@MissTrudyyyes Bonwire is the home of kente. So if you want original and authentic kente visit bonwire. You can ask poncho to take you there.
Trudy, i know Maya is tired sincedad came to Ghana, but please try and take dad to NZULEZU the village built on water! Its in Nzemaatea, quite close to Takoradi, so it wouldn't be too much travel for Maya. Please try oooo my daughter, try. Since your dad loves to learn so much, this is a place to learn some amazing rich African history like youve never heard before. Theres the historian there who will give u the real story of the people, their history of migration and how and why they ended up there and building their homes on top of the water. Amazing! and how they ended up there. Dont miss this one, dad will be very fascinated. Most Ghanaians don't even know about them, if they dont live around there.
Miss Trudy i like how you are showing much interest in the Ghanaian language. Please go on tour with dad at Kwame Nkrumah University Of Science & Technology Campus. Go around the Gate, Africa Hall, Unity Hall, Queens Hall, Katanga Hall, around entertainment area great hall, around Maintenance, University hospital, and more. You will enjoy it. All for dad.
sure i’ll! Thank you
Tru.. come to Namibia if you want to see a meteorite, we have one of the biggest piece also the lake
Nice adventure and a place to be with Paps and family. (THE GARDEN CITY). I will also recommend you extend your trip to the Bono & Ahafo area Sunyani, Berekum, Dormaahene Ahenkro, Wenchi and surroundings well diverse in culture as well 🙏🏿
I'll check it out!
Beautiful city and friendly people. Was there in 2022...going back again soon❤
You and your million dollar figure 😊❤❤❤
😁🥰
very nice video ms. Trudy......... keep it up SIS😘
Thank you, I will
God bless you and your family
Awwwwwwww! You too! ❤️
Please if you want original kente then go to bonwire
Where is that?
@@MissTrudyy is where they make Kent.used google maps it will take u there all ask the Airbnb where u are staying they will take u there
Please kumasi to bonwire is about 20 to 25 minutes drive
The water is clean, but the environment is dirty. If this was in Europe u will see how develop the area will be....
Is that so?
This is just one Village around the lake, There are about 22 villages around the lake with very beautiful Hotels and Resorts around it, They even have a canopy walk around the lake,,I think They were in hurry so they couldn't tour most of the beautiful places around the lake
🙄🙄🙄
They are just a village living their lives.. Okay??
Miss Trudy: you look like a Queen in your long red dress! Enjoy yourself in your greatest Continent under heaven! Much love from Haiti.
Kofi Annan was the secretary general of the United Nations between 1997 to 2006.
He did a great job
@@MissTrudyymore home work is needed 😂
@@MissTrudyy oh yes he did. I love him. Someone said that his was a diplomat down to his DNA.
Wode Maya nso wunim sauce paa oo..wow) taste!😊

Love you❤
Trudy your father is like me :))) I know Geography very well but I've never been abroad :))) im from Georgia 🇬🇪 and i have a big hope that one day you and Maya will visit my country too... Thanks that you are giving me much emotions since 2018 in every video... 🎉I love Africa and hope my dream will will come true soon....🙏
P.s. I dont like to comment but you know whom to contact if you will plan to go to Georgia 🇬🇪 and waiting for a new video.
I have to give you my support
You miss a prime spot in Kumasi where everyone visits
Where is that? 😀
Wow awesome massive place
Yes it was
Thank you, Miss Trudy, for showing my home town, but Poncho doesn't know much about the place, though
Most welcome dear
