In the late 1600s, a woman called Yaa Abubea, had a son named Kwame Anokye with his father being Ano. His father was from Awukugua-Akuapim and mother from Asante Agona.

When Kwame Anokye was birthed, he came with his palms clasped together. His parents weren't able to separate his palms until he was about two years of age. When he finally open his hands, there it was, a totem. He had a totem clasped in his hands from the womb of his mother. It was believed to be a gift from the gods and immediately his parents realized their child wasn't just an ordinary boy but was a god incarnate.

Kwame Anokye grew up to become a fetish priest. He then got the name or title "Okomfo Anokye", meaning Fetish Priest Anokye. But growing up, little Anokye was said to have performed some wonders and miracles beyond human comprehension. It was said that, little Anokye teleported his parents from the farm to their house because it was raining and the farm was quite a distance from their house. This is not an X-men mutant fictional character. This was a man who actually lived and there are evidence all over to support his existence.

He commanded a Golden Stool from the skies which landed on his laps. This was after the Asanti's defeated the Denkyera's. The stool was then handed over to the Ashnati's. It was and is the symbol and power of the Ashanti Kingdom. A replica was made and given to the British when they invaded the Ashanti Empire. The real stool still exists with the Ashanti's and it is brought out on specific festivals.

Okomfo Anokye stuck a sword in the ground as a symbol of unity between the Nzema's and the Ashanti's. And it meant that the Ashanti's had no right attacking the Nzema's. And because of that act, they could intermarry. Thus the Ashanti's and the Nzema's.

The sword can never be removed from the ground. It is similar to the Excalibur. In the 1950s, a British man tried removing it with earth-moving machines but failed. And even Muhammad Ali, the famous boxer on his trip to Ghana gave it a shot but also failed to remove the sword from the ground. It still remains.

Okomfo Anokye carved holes in a rock to form the famous Ghanaian game "Oware", just so he could play with the gods. He once boiled plantain, planted it and grew the same day. He then harvested the plantain and cooked some for supper.

Okomfo Anokye poured palm wine on the ground. The palm wine poured on the ground germinated and grew into a palm tree in a day. He then climbed the palm tree. He left foot marks on the palm tree while climbing. That palm tree still remains and the marks are visible on it till date.

He could walk in rain and never get wet. He fetched water from wells with a perforated basket and it never drained. He could command the rains to stop when there's a durbar of chiefs.

And He did not die. He simply vanished. It was said that he told his people he was going on a quest to find an antidote to death and no one should cry till he returns. Unfortunately, they cried thinking he was dead. When Okomfo Anokye was returning from his quest, he heard the town crying. This made him return and never to be seen again.
