"If you, the chiefs of Asante, are going to behave like cowards and not fight, you should exchange your loincloths for my undergarments."
In 1900, the British Governor of the Gold Coast demanded the Golden Stool—the Sika Dwa Kofi—the sacred object believed to house the soul of the Asante nation. He wanted to sit on it.
Yaa Asantewaa, Queen Mother of Ejisu, a woman in her sixties, rose before the chiefs and delivered those words. Then she seized a gun, fired a shot, and led an army of 5,000 against the British Empire.
🔹 The first and only woman ever to command the Asante army
🔹 Laid siege to the British fort at Kumasi
🔹 Captured and exiled to the Seychelles, where she died in 1921
The Golden Stool was never surrendered. The Asante hid the real Stool and defended a decoy. The British never sat on it. It remains in Kumasi to this day.
The full prosecution is now live.
