And this patently unsavory state of affairs may be witnessed in the intemperate and outright boorish rhetoric that has emanated, in recent years, from such cynical parliamentary opposition leaders and political party hacks as Messrs.
The preceding state of affairs almost incontrovertibly has something to do with the period of Africa’s colonization by the West, namely, the Age of Craniometry and Africa’s intellectual proscription.
Theoretically at least, and in view of the recent spate of purported anti-Asante sentiment in Ghana, retrospectively speaking, it cannot be wholly gainsaid that some of those Asantes with knowledge regarding Danquah’s deft facilitation of the Asante Confederacy’s integration with the rest of modern Ghana are wont to wistfully feel shortchanged.

 SERSAS
By the accession of Amoako Atta to the stool[3] in 1867, the state was bound together by a political and spiritual authority which resided chiefly in the person of the Okyenhene and in the major state rituals at which local rulers "reaffirmed their allegiance to Akyem Abuakwa's royal"[4] at the capital of Kyebi.
In the wake of the declaration of the Protectorate, interior states such as Akyem Abuakwa were seen not only as allies in the continuing conflict against Asante, but as potentially profitable trading partners, and there was little motivation at this early date for the political and economic disruption which inevitably accompanied colonial conquest.
Atta's exile left the state headless, a fact quickly exploited by the BMS, who used the years 1880-1886 to increase their membership, establish new stations and schools, and effectively set up a semi-independent state in eastern Akyem Abuakwa.
