The full story of AKPLƆ̃MADA

 AKPLƆ̃MADA!! Okomfo Anokye was an Ewe Togbi & the twin of Togbi Tsali ‼️ Tsali and Tsala (alias Okomfo kye) were twin brothers. Their father was Togbui Akplormada. These brothers were mysteriously endowed with potent spiritual powers. Tsala, who later became known as Okomfo Anokye, left Notsie on his sojourn at a youthful age, and finally settled at Awukugua in present day Eastern Region. Because of his spiritual powers, he became known as Okomfo Notsie (in Ewe language, Notsie Hunor) or Notsie priest. In Anlo oral history, we learnt Tsala (Okomfo Anokye) returned to Notsie around 1695 to consult with his brother Tsali before accepting the invitation of King Osei Tutu of Ashanti to help establish his kingdom (Ashanti Kingdom). During the reign of King Opoku Ware, a war broke out around 1746, Tsala (Okomfo Anokye) sought permission from the king to visit his twin brother Tsali at Keteklebi (Fiaxor) to celebrate and fortify himself at the annual Dzawuwu celebration of Mama Adexe...

THE TRUE STORY OF SIKA DWA (GOLDEN STOOL)

 SIKA DWA KOFI (THE GOLDEN STOOL) The Golden stool itself is a mass of solid gold. It stands about a foot and a half from the ground, and the seat is about two (2) feet long and one (1) foot wide. It is treated as a living being, and is named after the manner of Akan child from the day of the week on which it was born: hence it is known as Sika Dwa Kofi.  ‘The Golden stool born on Friday’. It is fed at regular intervals according to Akan calendar, and the cycle of Addae festivals is linked to this. The food prescribed comprises brown sheep, yam and liquor.

THE FIRST AND OLDEST MUSICAL INSTRUMENT

  FLUTE IS THE FIRST AND OLDEST MUSICAL INSTRUMENT  At least that appears likely.  Found in  Slovenia, in a cave that was inhabited by Neanderthals,  the 4.5-inch cave bear femur has four spaced, similarly-sized holes in a line in a recognizable musical scale. Even though the odds of that happening by chance are slim, much of the scientific community has rejected the idea that Neanderthals had the cognitive ability and creativity to make music, much less a flute to produce it. The main competing hypothesis is that carnivores made the holes while chewing the bone. In all fairness, both ends of the article do appear to have suffered gnawing. But experiments have shown that it would be nearly impossible for carnivores to produce the holes on the thickest and most rigid part of the bone without breaking it. And no match could be found for any animal to make two of the holes at a time.  A reconstructed model of the flute  has been used to produce good qua...
