Thanks for this excellent video. Brought a lot of clarification. 👍🏾

Really great work. You should do a collab with WithoutHistory. You two are really educating people right now.
Thanks! Hopefully one day this channel will be at that level
As a Serahuli also known as sonike-kara =Soninke, if u want to know our history, dont study wagadugu, Study Gidimakha and many Ceesay dynastys, we have both written and oral documents about our history, i recommend u to listen to our musicians or historian like Ghanda Fadiga /Diaby Doua, Dariente who has 3 Albums dedicated to our history, it never started with Ghanne =deal or constitution but before it ,started in Kai= Gatherings in todays Mali.
Ganda fadiga is worth the listen. Beautiful music. Thanks for sharing your perspective, I do these videos for us to share and have a space to communicate our history 🙏🏿 appreciate you!
@@infographicsafrica ,or Diaby Doua Dariente and many has both written and oral of our soninkara history, cus soninke means 1 person but soninkara means all soninke or serakunli speaking people.

This was a well done video thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching 🙏🏿
Great video
Your content is very informative keep going 💯
Appreciate the feedback! More on the way
@@infographicsafrica No it’s not that informative. Information in it is quite superficial. You could scrape any basic history book written in the past 40 - 60 years and the outcome therein won’t be any different from what you in this content. Look throughout history and you will find empires where remnants of descendants might not presently occupy that ancient territory. Ghana is no different. The name “Ghana” wasn’t just conferred on present day country. The founding fathers of present day Ghana had to make their case on the cusp of independence from British rule with solid, airtight history. See, unbeknownst to you, the migratory patterns after the collapse of the Ghana empire confirm most descendants went down south. And for obvious reasons: in search of lush forests and vegetation to farm, water and a much moderate climate with the expanding sahara desert. The Akans and some ethnic groups in northern Ghana are direct descendants of the old Ghana empire. As are some Ivorians and Burkina be’s. “Mansa,” is a very common name in Ghana. One of the primary dangers in this era, riddled with some much technology is the ease with which one can misinform and get away with it.
There is a direct relationship, the Mande that built the empire of Ghana also live in Ghana Akans and come from Mandes so do Guans they live in Ghana today they both migrated from Mali and Songhai
This is false information you are peddling. The Gonja in Northern Ghana trace the origin to the Mali and Songhai Empire, Mandinka people. In fact Akans according to literature Akan originated from Sudan in the 10 century. It is Northern Ghana that has strong historical ties to the old Ghana empire. Simple google probably will help you.
I got a lot of feedback about that. Thanks for sharing.
@@maairegyengnefrancis6077 No the Mande moved from Sudan settled in Mali and built the different kingdoms like Mema ect before they were consolidated into the Mali empire, get your facts right before you talk. Words like Jatta meaning lion and names like Danso show the Akans Mande roots and there are many more . Even the Mossi in Burkina originate from the Mande too.
@@mobrown7594 From your claim, the Moss ethnic group in upper west, east and northern region and their neighbouring brothers in Burkina Faso that are descendants of the Mande people has direct relation with the Akans? You chose to mention few words with similar meaning forgetting that there is much more familiarity in the northern languages and Mande people in Burkina Faso. Despite the literature available, I travelled to Northern Ghana and Burkina Faso during my dissertation. Also it will be helpful to provide source as this is an intellectual discourse. I can give you relevant materials if you want.
Interesting at least we know that Ghana does not belong to only Akans like they want people to Believe,there were lots of Moslems there and yet now they seem to want to say that the Modlems don’t belong.More grease to your elbows bravo.

These illustrations are 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Are they from a book or something?
Made with the help of Artificial intelligence! Thanks
@@infographicsafrica can AI talk of the past correctly
How does the c.e. time line connect,? with the b.c./or a.d., I’d guess, that it throws off our ability to place the progression of events.
Some people now prefer to use "C.E." and "B.C.E." (Before Common Era) instead of "B.C." and "A.D." (Anno Domini) because it's more inclusive and not tied to any specific religion
There is some direct relationship, that is the reason Kwame Nkrumah took that name. Current Akans lived through Ghana Empire to Mali to current country Ghana.
Akans go back to the days of ancient Egypt.

The akans of west Africa migrated from ancient Ghana empire after several tribal wars
That’s the debate in the comments. Share your sources
@@infographicsafrica pls try doing research also west Africa especialliy on this topic ...There are groits and musuems that contain a lot of information into the history of Akans in modern Ghana...
History of ancient tribal wars around ancient Mali , ancient Senegal , ancient Mauritania and walata....we of west Africa are descendants of these tribes before our migration
@@yvonnetaylor
Get the history right
1. This story cant be true.. the Ghana kingdom was never called "Ghana", It was called "Wagaduo" their King was called 'Gha- Naa', meaning king of warfare. I don't see any Ashanti or Akan word that sounds similar to that. Don't mention Nana..
Till date in Gonja kingdom (present day Savannah Region in Ghana, all royal princes are called Lorg-Naa (meaning warrior prince) in old mendinka language.
From Gonja historical and cultural heritage, they claim the following dynasty as descendants of the Old Ghana empire..
(a)Dynasty of Sonye's
(b) Dynasty on the Mansa'
(c) Dynasty of the Askia.
The Ghana empire broke apart..
(d) Dynasty of Bur's
(e) Dynasty of the wuraa's.
2. The kingdom were predominately made up of mandingoes (from the malinke and sonyinke tribes) thus they included Guans and other related tribes that were originally from mende(beyond the river gambia and between Senegal). Akans are never part of mandingoes (present day Guans in Ghana, including Gonjas, wangara, and most northern Ghana tribes share same traits of language and origin of the old Ghana kingdomand not Akan states)..
3. The old Ghana empire was converted to Islam way before the ascension of the greatest War lord called Musah (Mansah musah). These they did through Suon Adi-aayata Ketia mansa musahs maternal uncle, who led the sea farin guans to the coast modern day Ghana and who never returned while his various search parties came down looking for him and therefore decided to stay(efutu and ewutu clans of the guans).
4. The kingdom of Ghana fell during the reign of Askia Duadu. Who was a grandson of mansa Musha Kankan (kankan means Termite). Till date in Gonja kingdom (present day Savannah Region in Ghana, all royal princes are called Lorg-Naa (meaning warrior prince) in old mendinka language...
5. The differences in the foods, clothes and cultural aspets are different, including Architecture. Njene mosque is similar to other tribes of the northern Ghana, and Burkina faso.
These are but a few things that defeat your arguments unless you claim, people of northern Ghana are of Akan extract. Which is totally and totally NO.
GET THE RIGHT HISTORIC ACCOUNTS OF THE HISTORY OF ASHANTIS AND AKANS.
Akans can not come from old Ghana kingdom
@@maairegyengnefrancis6077 what about the dagomba and the mossi people? Were they or how are they related to the ancient Ghana empire or the subsequent west African empires?
A Prince was called Tenkamenan in the ancient Ghana empire. Hmm Egyptian pharaohs had similar names. You see where I’m going with this? 😉
Yes, I see! But I got destroyed for making that link in that cleopatra video so… until my channel is bigger 🤐
There is no link mate Soninke we're Niger Congo speakers not Afroasiatic like Egyptians.
@@admirekashiri9879 That information is incomplete
they do have a relation as Ghana's largest ethnic group, the akans,the mande and guans wgo were the earliest settlers of mordern day day Ghana migrated from the old ghana empire
Thanks for sharing!
Wow! So current Ghana has no direct relation with The ancient Ghana empire?why then do they claim the Akans in current Ghana migrated from there?
Great content though👍
There are other sources I found that states the time the Empire existed and it's different?
Always interested in new sources, please share. Thank you
They do have a written history. In the temples and libraries.
Share your source? Here is a reliable source about that. Even though they had a very complex society writing was never found
www.khanacademy.org/humanities/big-history-project/agriculture-civilization/first-cities-states/a/the-ghana-empire-1#:~:text=While%20they%20had%20a%20complex,medieval%20writings%20of%20Arab%20traders.
Akan people, even if they were part of Ghana empire, didn’t play a significant role. Everyone in Africa knows Mande tribes ( susu, mandinko, soninko, etc) were the major tribes under Ghana empire.
It seems pretty clear in my research 😂 but historians on CZcams disagreed. 🙏🏿 thank you for sharing
Keep up the good work!! This is the problem with we Africans. Everyone is addicted to tribal or ethnic supremacy. Even if they had to lie about history.
A the images accurate?
Most of the images are generated by artificial intelligence
The Wagadou Empire is Mande Empire the Subgroup the Sonnike were the rulers in this nation. I don’t know why Akans from mordan day ghana keep saying they created this nation. We Mande have the names of the kings that ruled we still have their last names and we also use the writing script of the empire called the Vai script the Akan have nothing to do with this nation.
I really agree with this 🙏🏿 thanks for sharing
You are right, I’m Akan and we have nothing to do with this civilisation. It’s just that the name are being used so we don’t forget this incredible history. The names are far from Akan names.
@@lisaaugusta5521 the confusion amongst Akans is becoming strange. I've even heard some claiminf to have migrated from ancient Egypt
@@lisaaugusta5521 The names of Ancient Egyptians are so far from African names yet Egyptologists agree on the fact that Black Africans built and run Ancient Egypt for the most parts and migrated to other areas of Africa today. As people migrate, they have different interactions that affect their cultural identity.
The Akans migrated from the Empire which was ethnically diverse. Are you saying only one ethnic group lived in this vast empire?
They have the direct relationship the akan people of modern day ghana migrated from the ancient ghana empire they co existed with the sonnike people and madinkans and bambel people
You know, I made this mistake and I am actually glad I did. So I can get your feedbacks and get better at research and diversify my sources. Thank you for sharing, hope you enjoyed the video! I will make a video on the Akan people soon too 🙏🏿
There is misinformation in your first 65 seconds: Kwame Nkrumah didn't choose that name: it was a name suggested by JB Danquah and agreed to by the founding members of the new nation, led by Kwame Nkruamah. Secondly, it is errorneous to suggest the two countries have no connection. The Akans, who made up 60% of Ghana's population at independence and even now, migrated from the Old Ghana Empire to present day Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire and some parts of Togo. That is why the Founders of modern-day Ghana chose that name. Let's get it straight.
Would really appreciate some sources for that. Because I can always get better with better sources. From what I found Akan where from the south (modern ghana, togo, benin) while the Ghana empire really represents people from the north (moder mali, niger) adept with horses. Now no source I have can pin point exactly what people made up what percentage of the empire. Because the history got more complex over the years with the Mali and Songhai empires. Hope it makes sense, but looking forward to see your sources to add to my list. Thank you for watching 🙏🏿
@@infographicsafrica”The Akans was from south”. What do you mean???
@@infographicsafricaSikka(Gold dye. Arabic),Sika(Gold. Twi) sequin(Venetian Gold coin). The Akans have a great knowledge of goldmine and handling gold from the days of old and kept such tradition till this day. Can you kindly demonstrate other west African countries using the term sikka or sika(Gold). As Gold in Arabic is not sikka and the term doesn’t originate from Venetian. So where does the term other places who originate or has “connections”with the ancient Ghana empire with gold because the last I checked “Sika” is also a god worshiped along side other “old ancient” deities and is not a term or a name coined recently. Could you kindly answer as such question is only a tip on the iceberg and there’s over 100 evidences on precise matters as I have brought up.
@@infographicsafricaThere’s Akan proverbs about Gold. The tradition of gold is of ancient.adorning one’s self in gold burying the dead in gold. Matrilineal heritage the list actually goes on if I was to take it there. Down to even stories within the anansi tales. Basically you rejected the Ghana connection from the jump of your video so could you explain the tradition of dealing and specialising in gold were the Akans got it from. As there’s other west African countries who also have gold amongst them but for some weird reason the Akans champion themselves with the gold and venerate the gold from the days of old in a fashion that no other country or tribe does in west or north west Africa. Gold is apart of the Akan identity(Factually &Traditional). They Do originate from the ancient Ghana empire
Not quite...The Ghana empire is separate and distinct from modern nation Ghana. The Akan are not from Mauritania/Mali the region of the ancient Ghana empire. Obviously, there is a strong sentimental attachment to Ghana because it is the name of the country, so people try to create a link.
The Akan ethnic groups consisting of the Asantes,Fantes,Akuapems are from the empire and migrated from there to the present day Ghana
Yes a lot of people made that clear. When I will cover the Asante empire, I’ll make sure to talk about that migration 🙏🏿 thanks for watching
Guans did first Ashantis were the last
Did marvel ever give credit to Ghana as inspiration to their story.
They should 😂! Thx for watching
Recent Ghana are gGana empire they move to this present day they are the Akans …people of chiefs and kings
It was J . B Danquah that choose the name not Kwame Nkrumah. Please make sure your sources are accurate.
My sources are

www.modernghana.com/news/377043/what-is-the-meaning-of-ghana-and-where-did-we-come-from.html
Can you clarify yours?
@@infographicsafricaYour source mentions “Danquah”. So it’s even evident you yourself fully don’t understand what your presenting. Nice video, nice cartoon movie scenes and etc but you dnt know 🤦🏿♂️. You actually don’t know🤦🏿♂️. Do yo home work on “Joseph Kwame Kyeretwie Boakye Danquah” also known as “J.B Danqua” and why his the origin of naming the Gold Coast “Ghana”. His credentials is worthy so be careful to dismiss as he is very learned(& a beast)in the Akan tradition. Even the local juju man can agree
People come on CZcams pretending to give information but rather miseducate and misinform people.
Did you ask the Ghanaians of today where they migrated from for you to say there's no direct relationship.
Ghanaians can tell you their history all the way from Mesopotamia to Egypt to old Ghana Empire to present day Ghana.
So don't miseducate people in the name of views.
If at least you could tell me what is the misinformation I shared… that would be interesting. But anyway, all my videos are based on research and books. The goal is to put a spotlight on my continent and give life to our stories. 🤷🏾♂️
The producer of this video relied solely on the account of Muslim writers. Where as there are numerous oral history which tracks the Akans history from Mesopotamia to present day Ghana. The Akan were so great that every place they reached, they are established a kingdom or an empire with Ghana empire being one.
@@infographicsafrica Books written by Europeans.
Europeans never wrote that Kemet was named after a Yoruba man called Kemi.
Kemi's mysterious ways of healing people and mixing his herbs gave us Kemi - mysteries(Chemistry)
Before the Akan came from Mesopotamia to Northern Kemet(present Israel) and main Kemet, it was Yoruba people who owned it. That's why till date the Efa/efi power in West Africa still speaks Yoruba whether you use it in Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Togo or Benin.
Europeans have distorted our history to hide us and project themselves.
You have a point, the books I read are from Europe. And we all know Europe distorted many facts about african history. So I am happy that at least we can clarify some of our thoughts here in the comments. I can’t have access to oral history from everywhere but I can share and then reflect on what I am hearing for better content. Now, can you share more sources on what you’re claiming? It could be useful for my research and next videos. Really appreciate the conversation
Interesting…. It’s neighboring country, Burkina Faso, has a capital named “Ouagadougou” pronounced WAGA-DOO-GOO…. Waga for short
History never disappoints. Thanks for watching
@Infographics Africa
Great piece. I just have 1 qualm though, Bro:
The Soninke and all other Mandé groups are one in the same. Soninke = Mandé. Please stop separating the two, as that supports a false narrative spun by non-Africans.
The Soninke were the first Mandé group that united all other Mandé tribes under Wagadu as a confederal "empire".
Also, though we Mandé get a lot of credit for influencing West African Civilization; we should remember the Lake Chad Region. They too played an integral role in helping to spur civilization in West Africa.
The diverse groups that inhabited the banks of the Niger river also made a great deal of contributions outside of Wagadu's sphere
Yes!! I was starting to think I was crazy. But what you are saying seems extremely accurate. I will do more history of the civilization around lake chad and niger river soon 🤞🏿 thanks for watching and sharing!
@@infographicsafrica Thanks for your hard work, Bro! I can't wait to see more of your productions!
very educative but even my kids can.t even hear your voice because of your music is too load
thank you
Got it fixed for the next videos. Sorry about that 😕. Thank you for watching 🙏🏿
Adansi empire is the beginning of akans and today Ghana
Actually JB Danquah choose the name Ghana
Interesting. Didnt know him will look into it. Thx for watching
@@infographicsafricaBut some how you know who came up with the name Ghana ??? 🤷🏿♂️.
Ist was Gana Empire😊
Can you share sources on that?
Who are the real owners of the land? Is it the Akans or Guans?
🤷🏾♂️ don’t have the answer
Akan have nothing to do with Ghana empire, the rulers were a sonnike ethnic group
@@infographicsafrica the Guans are the same as the Akan but made up of different tribes
Akans have nothing to do with Ghana empire!!!!!
Is this meant for children?
Definitely a simplified version made for easy consumption. I did exclude the slave trade thinking about a younger audience. Hope you liked it.
Great video until you mentioned climate ch which doesn't exist and which has had many name changes before its current name
Glad you enjoyed it. Sorry there’s no other way to express when Climate is changing then the term climate change 🤷🏾♂️ the Sahara desert is growing each year. Sure anyone living close knows it.
So your saying Ghana is Wakanda
Wagadu=Wakanda
Ghana(Warrior king)=Black Panther(warrior king) position that is inheritad
Technologicaly advanced
Powerful combat nation
Shrouded in mystery
connected to ancestors in spirit realm
possesd highly sought after metal Gold=vibranuim
Wagadu is referring to wagadu only. Part of African history you can still visit today the city of wagadugu (written Ouagadougou) it is the capital of burkina faso. No need for hollywood.
WE DON'T HAVE GHANA EMPIRE BUT WE HAVE ASHANTI EMPIRE
Thank you for watching
Is not true misinformation.
Double negatives is positive ☺️
NOT ONE WORD WAS SAID ABOUT SLAVE TRADING WITH ARABS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes I did that on purpose 🤷🏾♂️
Why do yall jump to slavery whenever african history is the topic 🤔
It was a kingdom of bl ackJews
🤦🏾♂️ @Patrick I guess that’s your thing for all my videos… but for those interested here is a map reflecting that subject
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Africa
Can you throw more light on your submission?
U ARE TALKING ABOUT GAMBIA AND NOT GHANA
Gambia is too small to be talked about 😂
why do foreigners continue to exclude Akan people from Gana. I swear it must be a conspiracy. 😂Because the story some Akan klans tell are very different. Akans are not native to that location we call Ghana today So where do the Akans come from? oral migratory maps place some of us in Koumbi Saleh we were there for about 400-500 years and as far as Nubia now Sudan. Some Klans and there’s many in the Akan tribe have stories that link them to that part of the world they called Assyria. That history is there. By the way “Akan” as it is spelt and pronounced means absolutely nothing in the Twi language. 😂
Try this experiment. Find any twi speaker and say “Akan” we would look at you with the awkwardness. The pronunciation of that word, the history behind it is also there. Please get your Black history from Black People. 😂 in my Klan(Eguafo) which is part of the kingdom of Fante, it’s necessary to spend time with your elders/family heads. before you know it traditions have been passed down to you without even knowing. The customs, the gods, the Lunar systems and deities that can be traced or found in other major black tribes. Stay blessed 👋🏾
Stay blessed too. Thanks for watching. I am really looking for sources regarding the Akan, because it seems to be 2 different time lines and I want o get my research to the best level. Can you share your sources?
This is a chatgpt generated script
In today’s world what isn’t 😂🤷🏾♂️

@@infographicsafrica the Akans moved south to present day Ghana after the collapse of the empire. Other factors that precipitated their move was hunger caused by drought and the incursion of Muslim raiders. Oral history from our forefathers tells us how we(Akans) rose to prominence as a small trading town.
@@Penkyenmenkame rubbish you think the tribes in the Ghana empire aren't known ,maybe your people were kept as slaves in that old kingdom , 99% of the people in that Kingdom are still known till date ,maybe they kept your people as slaves
@@fesderi3933 who are the 99% of the population in the Ghana empire you’re alluding to. You can have differing opinion to what I said but not to refer it as rubbish.
@penkyemenkame what you’re saying might actually be accurate. Because a lot of the smaller groups living within the ghana empire indeed developed into great empire after the fall. So maybe the Akans were part of these groups, just like the Soso I’ve talked about in the video. Appreciate you for sharing more on that. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏿
NOOOOOO ,, EVERYTHING U ARE SAYING IS FALSE, THE IMAGES THE MAPS , WE DON'T USE HORSES, WE DON'T HAVE DESERT, WE DON'T HAVE THOSE NAMES IN GHANA, U ARE TALKING ABOUT GAMBIA, GAMBIA AND NOT GHANA BECAUSE AM GHANAIAN, THERE'S NO GHANA EMPIRE BUT RUTHER ASHANTI EMPIRE THANKS 😂😂😂😂
🌍, Africa has a long history and Ashanti was only a fraction of it. Before the Europeans lines, Gambia, Ghana, Burkina were made up of different people. There is no single linear people that stayed and controlled one place for thousands of years. Ghana is an ancestral name that existed long before the country.
