History about Ashanti's and Akuapem war

THE HISTORY ABOUT ODWIRA 


1826 a war between the Ashantis and the Akuapem at that time the King of the Ashantis was Osei Yaw Akoto 

 and the King of the Akuapems was Nana Addow Dankwah.   The name of the war was Akatamanso war and it was fought at Dodowa, at that war the Akuapems captured the war spirit of the Ashantis. The name of the spirit was Odosu. And they also captured the Ntakrahyew. So this made Nana Addow Dankwah I powerful, and he was the first Okuapemhene to celebrate Odwira. The Akropongs celebrate Akwasidae but when the white men came to Akropong with the Presby Church they went to plead Nana Addow Dankwah I that they should make the Akwasidae Awukudae so that the people will attend church. So he called his elders and informed them about what they said about the Akwasidae. All this happened 1828, that's why the Akropongs, Aburi and Larteh celebrate Awukudae. 

About 1866 during the reign of Nana Kwadade the King of the Akuapem, a battle broke out between the Awunas and the Gas that Nii Tackie Tawiah assisted the Akuapems to help him fight. The Gas has helped the Akuapems against the Akwamus, so the Akuapems accepted it. The Akuapems helped the Gas fight the Awunas. The military expedition proceeded as far as a place called Brape


  beyond Volta River. The King of the Awunas was Djo Kpantanplan. The Awunas captured Kwadade at that time the Benkum and the Adonten was loose so the  Nifa fought all the parts. They swing and fought all the parts, the fought and released Kwadade. So at that time Opare Ababio l (Aketewa) was the leader of the Nifa so he sent Kwadade back home safely. They killed Djo Kpantanplan and divided the parts, after dividing the parts the share it equally. In Kyerepong Dawu got theirs, Awukugua got theirs, Adukrom got two parts Asonko drum and Apagya, Apirede got thier part, Abonse got theirs, Akropong also got theirs and other towns in Guan got theirs. Akuapem we are all one. When you come to GHANA in Akuapem we celebrate Odwira (fetch Odwira). The people of Akwamu aslo call for Odwira. In Ashanti they celebrate Adaekese. The Akyims celebrate Ohum. In Ghana every one celebrate his or her unique festival but Odwira is celebrated by Akuapems.

A brief history about philosophy and science

HISTORY ABOUT PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE  Philosophy began in Ancient Egypt & science began in Ancient Sumerian  Philosophy, science, and logic were not born in ancient Greece, as they existed in ancient Egypt centuries ago. Greek philosophers learned this information by going to Egypt and Mesopotamia. First of all, the Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Sumerian and Indian cultures are more ancient and older than the Ancient Greek culture.  Science and wisdom in Mesopotamia and especially Egypt were held in high esteem by the Greeks. Although it was an expensive journey, going to Egypt and getting an education was as valuable as going to American universities and getting a doctorate today. For this reason, the majority of Greek philosophers went to Egypt. They wrote down the information they learned there as if they had discovered it themselves  THALES is considered the founder of philosophy. But, according to Herodotus, Thales, who was Phoenician, began to think about the un...

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...
