@@moretodela I love Nappie, but I think it will be better having around-the-fire conversation with your grandma in Keta on Ewe history and culture - this will be more informative. You may also visit the University of Ghana, where you will definitely find a lecturer willing to engage. Prof. Gavua of the Archaeology dept. can be one such person or Prof. Anyidoho . Nappie has most of the things wrong. The dance you did back in London, for instance, Ganwu (not sure of the spelling) is completely different from Borborbor. The former is a distinct dance performed by the Anlos, whereas the latter is performed by the Ewe-dome (Ewes from Kpando, Ho, Hohoe etc). This is just on a lighter note :-)

SOME EWE HISTORY: Dela, coming back to this video, I can tell that this gentleman does not speak Ewe well and this shows at the end of the video when he tried to say something to the audience. Next time, when you want authentic history, forget a fellow KZitemr and look for someone with knowledge of the local history and customs. I've enjoyed your videos and I'm happy to see you identify with your Ewe culture, so here are my comments: 1. The Ewes as a group - who mostly inhabit the Volta Region of Ghana - migrated from Ile Ife in Nigeria (Yorubaland), then settled at Ketu (between Dahomey, now called Republic of Benin and Nigeria), then to Notsie in present day Togo where they lived under a wicked king called Agokoli. The Ewes were not led by Agokoli as the gentleman claimed. They just settled in his kingdom Notsie, of which he was the ruler. Because of Agokoli's wickedness, the Ewes ran away at night and migrated to present day Ghana. The Anlos, who settled mostly at Keta and Anloga were led by one Togbui Wenya. The gentleman said we moved from Ketu to Ile Ife, which is false. 2. The Anlos became part of the Gold Coast (as Ghana was then known) in 1850 when they came under British rule after Britain bought out the Danish castles and possessions on the Gold Coast. The Danes built Fort Prinzenstein at Keta in 1784 as part of a peace treaty following the war of 1784 (known as the Sagbadre war). It is after acquiring these Danish properties that Anlo became a British Protectorate. The Anlos were therefore, originally part of the Gold Coast and did not become part of Ghana after independence as this gentleman told you. Only those in the northern part of the Volta Region (Kpando area) who were formerly under German rule before Germany's defeat in the First World War in 1918, and whose lands were taken from Germany as spoils of war and given to Britain by the League of Nations (later the United Nations) to administer as a trust territory became part of Ghana in 1957 when Ghana became independent. 2. Yes. A beauty pageant was organized as part of Ghana's independence celebrations and the winner was Miss Monica Amekoafia from the Volta Region who had the number 9. Later, because Ghana then had 9 regions , some Ghanaians started to use #9 pejoratively to refer to Voltarians (Ewes) as the least of the 9 regions. 3. It is false that the people from Togo speak the original dialect. There is only one Ewe language with many dialects - Anlo, Wedome, Mina, Gbe, Fon, etc. The Togolese only speak a dialect. Nothing original about it. 4. Again, it is false to say Ewes were led by Agokoli. Wenya led the Anlos. Ewes who migrated to other parts of the Volta Region were led by other people. 5. It is false. Keta people did not ran to Ho because of the sea and came back. Many Keta residents whose homes were destroyed by sea erosion settled all over Ghana - Akatsi, Accra, Denu, Sogakope, etc etc. 6. His description of the Ewe's favorite food, akple is simplistic. Akple is generic in Ewe. There are many varieties and combinations. Eworkple is cooked with dry corn flour. Akple (which other ethnic groups call banku) is made with fermented corn flour mixed with fresh cassava dough. Ewordemi is made with dry corn flour mixed with fresh cassava dough. Amorkukple is made with fermented corn flour only. Dzemkple (also called aprapransa in Asante or Twi) is made with roasted corn flour, zomi or palm oil and crabs with some Momoni or salted fish thrown in!). There is also Ayikple which is made with roasted corn flour cooked in beans which has been pre-cooked in coconut milk or coconut oil; etc. Aside of Akple, the other favorite food of Ewes are: Abolo and Yake yake (both steamed) and agbeli kaklo. You can Google these. Don't know what food he means by Zakplizeze or Zakpli and I don't think any Ewe has heard of that food either. Zakpli means chamber pot in Ewe. I guess he wanted to say Dzemkple (red akple or aprapransa). 7. Ewes have many festivals. The Hogbetsotso festival (which is celebrated every November at Anloga - and which you should endeavor to attend next week or so) is a celebration and depiction of how the Anlos escaped Agokoli at Notsie to present day Ghana. A friend of mine is one of the chiefs who will preside at the festival. He schooled with me in Canada. Let me know if you want me to introduce you to him so you can shoot some videos for your channel) 8. Ewes are feared because the rest of Ghana thinks we are able to rain curses, sickness and disease on them through juju if they wrong us. Most Ewes migrated to other areas of Ghana to work and so are able to speak other languages and can understand what others are saying. Other ethnic groups on the other hand, don't usually visit the Volta Region and as such can't speak Ewe. They thus become suspicions when two Ewes are speaking Ewe or are just together. There is always the suspicion that they are plotting something! 9. Also Gahu is not Borborbor as he claims. Those are two separate dances. The Ewes have more dance forms than any other ethnic group in Ghana. Sorry for the long write up. Just had some time on my hands with this quarantine!

Eʋe decendend from Eʋe (written in the English bible as Eber), who begat Peleg, who begat Abraham. The people practice a patrilineal culture just like the ancient hebrews(Eʋes). The Eʋes sourjourned in Keme (meaning sandy place or desert i.e. Kemit/Egypt) before settling in West Africa( the slave coast), the area between west Nigeria and the Volta River in Ghana(Torgo, meaning bank of the river, metamorphosed into Togo under european rule). This area before the European demarcation of Africa was called Eʋenyigba (land of the Eʋe). This area was once ruled from Ketugah (big Ketu/capital of Ketu) in Oyo( present day Benin). Ketugah was named after their abode in ancient Egypt(Ketu) just as Notsie/ŋɔtsie (make a path/hole in water) in Togo was named to commemorate the miracle of the parting of the water under the leadership of Mosi(Moses). The Eʋes are related to the Ga and Adangbe people in Ghana , the Dahomey in Benin, the Fon people in Benin and Western Nigeria (Gbadagry, Lagos etc) who they share common linguistics and culture with till this day. The migration of Eʋe populations from Oyo to settle in Ghana, Togo, South West Nigeria and Benin has occurred over several centuries but the invasion of Old Oyo by the Fulani caliphate from the North catalysed a large wave of migration towards South West Nigeria and into Benin, Togo and Ghana of certain clans of the Eʋe like the Adzovia(Royal House). Eʋenyigba known as the slave coast to Europeans suffered disproportionately both under the European and trans-sahara slave trades. A large part of the modern populations in the Caribbeans, Jamaica, Grenada, Trinidad and other parts of the America can trace their roots to the Eʋe and their culture resonates in these countries up till to today.

Also the chains on their neck, the same colour as the Ewe people. But Haitian people come from different places in Africa We recognize a few traditions. So we are happy to know that from mother in law side we are PROBABLY connected to the Ewe people. Ewe people come from Egypt because of a Huge EXODUS!!! We are according to my Haitian mother in law and their family the bible people! This knowledge was already known before the KZitem era where everyone is claiming to be the Exodus people...

Eeeeeiii this guy will kill me ooooo 🤣🤣🤣Zakplizeze... what the heck is that? No Ewes have ever heard of that dish oooooo! 😀😃😄😁 THE HISTORY OF THE EWES aka ERVEH or ‘VEGBE TO- O’ (Pre ile ife) The dish that actually denotes our true origin before ile Ife is Ayi or ‘borbor’ aka creamy boiled black eye beans or brown beans, which we eat with gari and well seasoned fried palm oil called Zomi. It happened that, we used to reside with tribes like the Gadangbes, in that part of Afrika now called Israel and surrounding areas, until the Assyrians invaded and our Ancestors fled further into Afrika. During the flight, they stopped in Abyssinia (Ethiopia), Egypt, Sudan, Mali, and ended up at ile ife. We also derived the name Ayigbe, which was originally ‘ Ayi Gble’ ( bean farm). This name stuck with us when the Gadangbes noticed that we always planted black eye beans wherever we stayed or camped during our flight from the Assyrians. It is therefore not an insult to call an Ewe, Ayigbe, since it deepens and enriches the history of our origins. My maternal great grandfather was Torgbui Adaku Dosu VII of Atorkor Anloga, and I spent a lot of my childhood holidays with my grandmother Fiavi nyorlu (Princess) Akuyo Mansa Dosu, her sisters and my extended maternal royal relatives. The fact is that, Ewes are the only Ghanaian tribe in whose dialect you can trace huge chunks of the original Hebrew language. This is why our language is labeled difficult to speak or learn. Many Ghanaians who deem us difficult and wicked, fear the originality of our sacred sciences and are intimidated by our deep indigenous spirituality. We are the real deal, for we are the scribes and most royal, even though we do not randomly flaunt it in golden palanquins like other tribes. Like the Gadangbes, we adhere to an indigenous priesthood system of priestesses, initiates and call on the waters of the Nile which sustained us during our flight, we also use hyssop for cleansing and adorn ourselves with it during indigenous celebrations. We have nothing to do with Judaism and the Torah but their religion gleaned facets of our indigenous spirituality. We do not call ourselves Hebrews, neither are we Israelites because we Afrikans have walked this earth longer than the Europeans now known as the Jews. We will therefore not diminish our heritage by denying that we once did lived in that area usurped by the Western powers and created a State in the 1940’s, to expand their global reach and socioeconomic interests. 👇🏾HERE ARE SOME FACTS👇🏾 Ewes brought the local production and consumption of gari to the Ghanaian local industry and meal table respectively. We also remain the only tribe that turned the regular palm oil into a well seasoned tastier one. We eat steamed or turned dumplings like Abolo, yakayake, amorkukpke, kokotekple, dzemkple, eworkple, pino, etc, eaten with soups and raw sauces and soups like: fetridetsi, lamumudetsi, lapipi detsi, amadetsi, ademedetsi, gbomadetsi, ededetsi, azidetsi, borbitadzi, akpatadzi, akpatogui tadzi , kalami etc. We are also famous for inventing most of Ghana’s local snacks like, 👇🏾 Sitatsi kpono, sukli ne, aliha , dzowe, and breakfast porridge like, korkli, akatsa, aboda, akla, zorklali, etc...

The only Ewe district part of Togoland were the Ho and kpandu district. The rest aren't ewes but Guans, Northerners and some few Akans. The districts are South Mamprusi, North Dagomba, Nanumba Gonja, Akan Karachi and Buem (also all districts). The western Togoland separatist are just fighting to have a semi autonomy just like Monaco in France. In technical words more of union which they signed up for not integration hence semi autonomy

Nappie tells the history of the migration of Ewe people in the 15th century under King Agokoli but ignores recent history. German Togoland had an area of 88,500 square kilometers. In November 1918, after Germany lost the First World War, 2/3 of Togo were given to France, the remaining 1/3 was given to the British. Only In 1956 after a referendum, the part administered by the British would join Ghana. French Togo will gain independence in 1960. The volta region belonged to Togo.

thanks for the clarification, nappie knows absolutely nothing about the history of the ewe people. Most of the tribes in west Africa migrated around the 15th century and found themselves where they are today.The volta region belonged to Togo until 1918 and joined Ghana only in 1956. That's fact

So is that why there is civil unrest on the volta region with togo. I heard those in the volta regions wants to go but togo wont allow them thus kill them if they dare flee is that true?

Della, your content is good, but just like the Akan segment that you did, this also lacked accurate facts. Please next time get real experts, otherwise it's a disservice and you will be unwittingly spreading misinformation, people take their tribes, traditions and cultures seriously, so take this criticism in good faith, and do your own research as well, it will put you in a stronger position.

From Keta to Sogakope and even beyond were Gold coasters not Togolese it is the northern part of the Volta Region which used to be Western Togoland. Did Keta to Sogakope vote in the Plebiscite? No, because it wasn't part of Western Togoland. Let us talk more about our heritage now.

More like the street version of Ewe history, great attempt, but also lots of misinformation from my boy Nappie, Hey some has to tell the story, have always been interested in our African anthropology oral history, because a lot problems we have in Africa today is because we don’t know much of our past, but we all the children of the same mother, through ancient migration to modern day, our languages have been altered, and stories changed, my grandmother always told me Ga’s and Ewe’s migrated thru Ethiopia

@ sikaabbey8307 as you said it's not true ! I was born a mother Togolese, a father Ghanian ... Togo is the owner of Ewe language , the alphabet of EWE was written by Germany when Germany colonized Togo before French .... there's many languages that sounds like ewe but not topically Ewe . If you want to know about Ewe's origin go to Notsé ... Ewe people came from Nigeria and cross Benin ... and came to( Togoland , Tohun - Tététou - Asrama- and Notsé ) NOTSÉ is the base where all Ewes star going families or group and later became a town,. City ..... Even the man who helped the lady doesn't speak correct Ewe !
