There was even a book that said Nkruma was left at a beach by a Liberian woman. And Nyaniba saw him and took him home because she was barren.

That history book called Sankofa that we read in the 70s and 80s really filled our head with lies.

GES should remove all Asante history from our curriculum and restructure our history. Our history is our spirit, identity and our truth.

I think I know who you're referring to. His name was Anton Wilhelm Amo (also known as Anthony William Amo).
He was a Ghanaian-born philosopher who lived and taught in Germany in the 18th century, long before Ghana became independent.
He is particularly important because he was one of the earliest known African scholars to become a professor at a European university.



### His story
* Birth: Around 1700–1703, in the Axim area of present-day Ghana.
* Origin: He was Nzema/Axim, from the Gold Coast.
* Arrival in Europe: He was brought to Europe as a young child, probably through the Dutch slave-trading system. The exact circumstances remain historically disputed.
* 1727: He enrolled at the University of Halle in Germany.
* 1734: He earned a doctorate in philosophy at the University of Wittenberg.
* 1736–1739: He taught philosophy at the University of Halle.
* 1739–1740 onwards: He also taught at the University of Jena.
* Around 1747: He returned to West Africa.
