Brief History Of Atebubu Oral traditions asserts that Atebubu people, migrated from Timbuktu and stayed temporary at Techiman. From Techiman, they headed to Saman, an area around Kumasi Antoa. It was at this place they settled for a long time before the people of Kumawu came in later. The king of the Atebubus at Saman at the period was Nana Yirenkyi, whose ally was Beposohene Atera Akenten. At then, the famous Guan king Atera Firam ruled from Afram Plains to areas stretching as far as certain parts of Volta and Obosom Rivers. When Atera Firam's kingdom defeated Kumawu, killing its ruler Fakai, Nana Yirenkyi of Saman and Atera Akenten of Beposo joined by soldiers of Kumawu waged a three-year war against Atera Firam until they defeated king Atera and chased his army who fled across the Volta River. The growth in population at Saman forced them to move out to settle at an area in the Afram Plains called Bodiafor, also known as Saman No.2 under their king, Nana Banka. There arose a succession dispute between his two sons, and as a result Nana Banka passed away. The dispute escalated to a civil war. One of his sons took the black stool and emigrated to Wiase near Kwame Danso-Dwan. While the rest of the Saman people led by the Queenmother Nana Tua, emigrated to settle at Tuaburaso. It is believed Atebubus came to meet Kumfiahene, who occupied the north of the area, and the Munimuni people(now Nchumuru) were at the Eastern and the North-Eastern parts. Atebubu had wars with Munimunis and Kumfia, and defeated them. Some of the Munimuni (mentioned as Kentenku) were later fought by the Asantes who chased them away to cross the Volta River to settle permanently at Gonja and Krachi lands. Atebubu also fought with Asantes at Bresu now called Asante-boa and chased them back. That place was later called Asante-boa because they believed "Asante can't" fight them. ~~#blogger #nanaasanteyekye #Bono #Atebubu #Abakɔsɛm #Abakosem #akan (at Osimpamfm 95.5MHz) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbFUrqmsxIH/?utm_medium=tumblr
