Otumfuo Amoah Sasraku IV

WELCOME ADDRESS

It is with considerable pleasure that I otumfoͻ Amoah Sasraku IV, address the entire Twifoman community. To those at home within the traditional area, those in Ghana but not in the traditional area and those outside Ghana. I want to thank all of you for the support, love and unity shown to me since I became your king in March, 2020. That spirit of our ancestors since 1480 which brought about the unity of various chiefs together at one place to form one community “Ahenfo man” – “Heman”, the common medium of communication which was Twi Language, which made other people called us Twifoͻ (Twi People) and the beautiful culture and customs that make us unique as Twi speaking people.
Let us continue in that same spirit to sustain what was handed over to us. Let us come together to develop and build a stronger and a prosperous Twifoman where peace and prosperity will be our aim. Let us not forget our history as we progress else we will not know where we are going.
I hereby invite all natives of Twifoman communities, comprising of the 52 towns and villages in the Twifo Hemang Traditional area to come together as one people and build as God be our help.
Long live Twifoman

OUR HISTORY

The Twifo (Tu a ankↃ) people are a small Akan group with an Aduana stool. Their name Twifo comes from the language they speak, their culture and traditions.
The word “Twi”, is the language which is an Akan dialect and the suffix “fo” means people. They consider their language as the finest among the Akan spoken dialects.
They settled first together with all the Akans on Bonoland and later in the Adanse area for some time before moving to their present settlement.
They migrated with the Akans from the Sahara desert and Sahel regions around the 11th century. Around the 14th century they moved South Eastwards into the forest area and occupied North West of present day Cape Coast. In the forest they settled at a place called Kumkumso led by their leader Nana Amfo Akoto. Read more
