Dec 21, 2008 - An excellent excellent documentary to cover will be the Ashanti Culture and Royal customs. And you can see all this under one sitting if you aim for the Annual Durbar held at Manhyia Palace where all the chiefs under the Asante Kingdom who report to the KING, gather and held a very detailed and interesting ceremony. You will learn so much from it. EVERy drum beat, dance, gesture - everything has a meaning related to OUR culture. You should go to that.

Apr 18, 2009 - WHy don't you make a video about the butt whoopings we delivered to them and, the long resistance to colonialism instead of this crap... We all know what happened when they got people from the coast, Carribean, and others to get on their team to eventually get the Ashanti but, talk about the high points and the long resistance and stop all this...

Apr 19, 2009 - What is crap about this piece in particular?

adikiny Says:

May 19, 2009 - These are very important details of what happened to Africa during colonisation. By hook or crook, Queen Victoria of the English Crown wanted to take the Ashanti Golden stool, a sacred object that in Luo Language, is called Kom Nyarluo! In order to dominate a people, the Illuminati take take away their sacred HAT as well the their sacred STOOL. That way a people is forced to live under the master's hat (crown). By taking away the stool, they take the POWERS that belong only to the ancestors.

Sep 28, 2009 - I am very happy i came across this video, thanks for the posting it is very informative. I feel Ghanaians and most African countries have consistently shied away from embracing our own history and opted for that of Europeans. We need to embrace our cultures and value our unique nature.

VitoTheNightShadow Says:

Nov 9, 2009 - No wonder Africa is still struggling. Africans don't know their history. The European educated scholars are even the ones that let us down the most. 40% of Ghanaians can't read and write, don't even earn £10 a day, and are supposed to fork out money to know about their own history.

VitoTheNightShadow Says:

Nov 9, 2009 - While the Euopeans educate their children for free about how we used to be their slaves and as such they keep looking down on us. Greed made us sell our own brothers and now money makes us keep our brothers ignorant

akua1969 Says:

Nov 9, 2009 - thank you Vito. I'm glad you came accross my work. A work that I have shared and has een enjoyed by over 14.000 people in total for free!

akua1969 Says:

Nov 9, 2009 - you are one of thoes sad people who think concious filmmakers should not charge for their work. show me how to feed my family on stones and fresh air. prehaps I can pay the contributors, camera and light makers with stones and fresh air as well. let me know how you find it working for free

VitoTheNightShadow Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - If you want to do a film to increase the conciousness of people, you have to find a dfferent way of funding, in order to ensure that the audience you want to enlighten, receive it. This way of funding your project is only going to enlighten those who can afford it, whom most likely re already enlightened. Don't take this personal. It's constructive criticism for you and all those that want to do conscious things. Oherwise, you are just using the conscious banner for materialistic gain.

akua1969 Says:

Nov 12, 2009 - are you offering to fund my work ?

nappyg1 Says:

Dec 16, 2009 - You screw up and made a deal with the devil the british. You should have fought them instead you are in bed with them

akanwisdom Says:

Jan 18, 2010 - We can fund your work.
