Akwamu were feared Warriors befitting of Michael Jai White’s character.

Cool. Who did they fight ?
Lol just handing out crowns. You a king! You a king! Everybody a kiiiiing!
It's much more to it than that.
I need more info as well.
From what I know, the etymology of the name Akwamu is “The breakers of necks."
Akɔn - neck
Mmu- break
In the 1600’s the Akwamu rulership was quite expansive, stretching from areas in modern day Ghana to parts of Benin. I’ve always wondered why so many non-Akans had Akan names and that was because of the Akwamus. Also, the first Asante Ruler Nana Osei Tutu studied at the Palace of Akwamu and learned a lot about culture and warfare.
Hene = Ruler and literally means itchy. Back in the olden days towns were founded by brave men who would go into the deep forest to clear the way. And aside from encountering wild animals your body would itch owing to the plants encountered, so these people were “itching” for progress and success for the nation.
Asantehene = Ruler of Asante
Akwamuhene= Ruler of Akwamu
To be an Ɔhene means you are a now called “Nana” or the “enlightened one,” it’s a title one earns through life. Some are named after a Nana hence it being in our birth name, but living up to the name or earning it is the goal.
Bruh White, didn’t specify the type of Rulership title he was bestowed with, but we have ceremonial/honorary titles for people that do great work. For instance, if you came to Akwamu and built a hospital for the people, the Akwamuhene may give you the title “Nkosuohene” or the Ruler of Development.
Since he found a connection with the Akwamu, possibly in kind gesture, the Akwamuhene gave him a Rulership title so that he has a high status within the community.
I’ll wait to see what he was given to comment further. But quite a few Brothas and Sista’s from the diaspora are given Rulership titles for there work.
so hes no king and they just being nice......about to go over there and build a strip club
jealous??
We’ll have to wait and see the title.
If you don't know what he did then what I said stands. But apparently all you need to do is SEE them doing it. He didn't even bother to say what he did to have that title, but you still giving him props and telling ME "there's more to it than that" lol. Unbelievable.
I didn't need you tell me what the title means.and how the hell is he supposed to have high status in a community he don't live in and don't even speak the language and MAYBE has SOME mixture of ancestry from ? Lol oh, cuz he's an actor in America.
Who else got one?
They do it all the damn time.
I saw a doc where they did the same thing and I've heard of a few people. I dunno who got long, chief or whatever title. I had a friend who came back years ago bragging about him.being a chief lol. He actually did live there for a few years. He's back
Are you people aware of how many slaves them folks sold?
Hell, they SELL you tours that show you where someone on your bloodline MIGHT have went thru. Who the hell you think brought you to the gates of no return? And people go there talmbout "I'm home" lmao
