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.
