Stripping the Soul of Asante Naked: A History of Opanin Saniagya in Asante Chronicle
View through CrossRef
The paper examines a critical theme in Asante History at a crucial time of the life of the once powerful nation. It discusses the origins and significance of the Golden Stool (Sika dwa Kofi) to the existence and survival of the Asante nation. The paper further shows instances in Asante history where the Asante nation went to war rather than allow anyone to capture or defile the sacred Golden Stool. The piece then provides detailed information on how the venerated Sika dwa Kofi was defiled by one Saniagya, and also gives an account of Asanteman´s response to what could, arguably, pass for the highest act of sacrilege in Asante history yet.
