Sarkin Awudu Issaka Giwa, Gomoa Nyanyano Zongo Chief and Nkyidomhene of Nyanyano Traditional Area appealed to the government and respective authorities to unturn their deaf ears and blind eyes to the deteriorated Nyanyano-Kasoa road which serves as the main and only commercial route interconnecting the country’s capital(Accra) to the central region. Bordered on the north to economic influx of the northern to the coastal resources.

🚩🚩🚩Frankaa Tu’nyi ( Asafo Flag Bearer)

A flag-bearer, also known as a colour-bearer or standard -bearer, is a person who bears an emblem known as a standard or military colours, i.e. either a type of flag or an inflexible but mobile image, which is used (and often honoured) as a formal, visual symbol of a state, prince, military unit, etc.[1] This can either be an occasional duty, often seen as an honour (especially on parade), or a permanent charge (also on the battlefield); the second type has even led in certain cases to this task being reflected in official rank titles such as Ensign, Cornet, Fähnrich and Alferes/Alférez.

While at present a purely ceremonial function, as far back as Roman warfare and medieval warfare the standard-bearer had an important role on the battlefield. The standard-bearer acted as an indicator of where the position of a military unit was, with the bright, colourful standard or flag acting as a strong visual beacon to surrounding soldiers. Soldiers were typically ordered to follow and stay close to the standard or flag in order to maintain unit cohesion, and for a single commander to easily position his troops by only positioning his standard-bearer, typically with the aid of musical cues or loud verbal commands. It was an honorable position carrying a considerable risk, as a standard-bearer would be a major target for the opposing side's troops seeking to capture the standard or pull it down.

🚩🚩🚩History of Asafo Flags 🇸🇾🇸🇾🇸🇾
Asafo flags are inspired by European models and can be traced back to as early as the 16th century, when European trading companies set up forts along Ghana’s coastline (Ghana was known then as the Gold Coast, named for its plentiful gold).

Asafo flags are sewn or painted. They are generally 3 by 5 feet or 4 by 6 feet, but can be as long as 300 feet. Workshops make asafo flags in collaboration with company members who decide the flag’s composition, colors, and statement. [5] A variety of fabrics can be used for these flags, such as cotton, silk, rayon, and velvet. Swatches of fabric are stitched on a larger base fabric (which is usually a solid color) to create depictions of people, animals, and objects that, in conjunction, usually refer to a local proverb or historical event, or make a statement about the company itself.

Flag messages may be ambiguous or difficult to interpret, especially to non-local audiences. Additional details, such as the asafo company’s number, may be added.

Through their symbolic colors and imagery, an asafo flag makes a statement about a military company’s identity and history, or about its rivals and enemies.
In most surviving and contemporary examples, the national flags of Ghana or the United Kingdom are present in the flags of military companies, known as asafo, among the and other Akan-speaking peoples. [1] Each Fante town has anywhere from two to fourteen asafo companies. [2] Historically, asafo companies acted as the militia and police for Fante towns. Today, they ensure the safety and well-being of their communities through various political, social, and religious functions, such as participating in state ceremonies, member funerals, and annual gatherings.

During such events, a trained member of the company (frankaakitanyi) carries and dances with a flag, known as frankaa (mfrankaa for plural). These flags signify the company’s identity and are considered sacred.
During ceremonies and gatherings, asafo companies hang and display their flags on flag poles, which are key features of company shrines, or mposuban (singular: posuban). Mposuban range from “simple structures, such as a fenced tree or a mound of rocks covered by the shell of a giant marine turtle,” to more monumental structures, such as the one pictured above.
Overall, they are important to asafo companies, as they are the dwelling places of companies’ deities. They serve other purposes, such as ritual and storage space, a meeting place for ceremonial occasions, and a signpost indicating the companies’ presence and territory.

🚩🚩🚩We introduce to you “Sarkin Awudu Issaka Abdullai Giwa I” the Nkyidomhene of Gomoa Nyanyano Traditional Area who doubles as the Gomoa Nyanyano Zongo Chief and Leader of the Gomoa Zongo Communities. He, Nkyidomhene is the Army Commander of the Rearguard Order of the Traditional Military and the last in going into War.

In most academic scholarship, migrant chiefs are popularly called Zongo chiefs, reflecting migrant communities being labelled as the Zongo. early colonial records as captured in the archives have been utilized by geographers (Mensah and Teye, 2021), historians (Arhin, 1971) and anthropologists (Schildkrout, 1974; Pellow, 2012), and sociologists (Baba-Zakaria, 2015) in analysing migrants’community formation in Ghana.

In addition, earlier works by Kuper (1965), Skinner (1965), Grindal (1973), Chambas (1979), and Sulemana (1994) have also touched on leadership in the Zongo. Migrant chiefs in Ghana have long been recognised and institutionalized by the colonial authority by passing various administrative ordinances. The British colonial officers for instance ‘considered Hausa to be...more effective community leaders and commercial elites (Kobo, 2010, p. 81), thereby incorporating them into the modern political structures. This was started by the British when Hausa representatives were selected to integrate the zongo into the colonial administrative system’ (Skinner, 2013, p. 429; Allman, 1991, pp. 3-4). The same principle was extended to the increasing but largely autonomous migrant communities that were geographically and culturally distinct from the host population.

In spite of the challenge of extending Indirect Rule to African diaspora in other parts of Africa (’ouke , 2012), it was largely successful in the Gold Coast , west Africa, where British viewed the Zongo as a miniature emirate which could be administered through a hierarchy of rulers (headmen).

The‘Hausa’ headman known as the Sarkin Zongo, or Chief of Zongo, was then recognized as the apex of the‘traditional’Hausa Zongo system and given authority over all non-Hausa immigrants (Schildkrout, 1974, p. 118; Allman, 1991, pp. 3-4). By the turn of the twentieth century, the British started by protecting their positions and permitting them to hold informal courts (Schildkrout, 1978, p. 196). Two decades later, an amendment to the 1924 active jurisdiction ordinance, section 41, sub- section 5, granted the headman of the Hausa community (the Sarkin Zongo) a tribunal, being the first court to be established for non-natives. In the Brong Ahafo region, the Hausa community was recognised by the Atebubuhene as an equivalent of a localized royal lineage of an Akan chiefdom. It is argued that it was Hausa who founded the Zongo and therefore, successive Hausa must occupy the Sarkiship or headship of the Zongo, making the head of the Zongo comparable to that of a sub-chief or a wing chief (Arhin, 1971, p. 70).
Throughout the colonial and postcolonial Ghana, migrant chiefs have formed various organizations. Since most early migrants were Muslims, leadership of these migrant communities also assumed Islamic dimension, with some of them combining both secular and religious authority, overseeing both the communities and the mosques which continue to serve as offices and places of teaching and learning. At the same time, some of these migrant chiefs also serve on various committees in the decentralised local government structures of the various Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs).
