editBoadi-Benimasi is a locality situated within the Oforikrom municpal Assembly in Ghana.[1] It is 15 kilometers from the center Kumasi. The Custodians of the town hail biologically Offspring of the Late Asantehene Otumfuor Osei Tutu I, Founder of the Ashanti Empire of Ghana. A brief history of the Royal family of Boadi and Gaoso, as narrated by Kofi Wusu, (a descendant of Yaa Achamaa enchanting wife of late Osei Tutu I, on the 23 of November, 1952, to Otumfuor Nana Sir Osei Agyemang Prempeh II, at the Palace in Manhyia.
The Asona Abusua of Boadi and Gaoso was led by Yaa Achamaa, who originally hailed from Kyebi Ahwinease. She first settled in Abrakaso under the premises of the Chief of Abrakaso name Nana Adu Gyamfi’s.
Abrakaso was awed by her uncanny beauty and quickly made report to Nana Osei Tutu I. The King immediately ordered then that she be brought to him. Legend has it that that when he saw her, he involuntarily exclaimed ‘Obaa yi fata me’, to wit, ‘This woman is deserving of me’. The King immediately enquired from her about her roots. He then quickly asked for her hand in marriage and sent a delegation to perform her marriage rites and all other customs at Kyebi Ahwinease, mordern day Kibi.
Yaa Achama then came along with her children, her mother, Obie and her siblings, Kofi Kusi, Twum and Odwira. They first settled in Abrakaso’s house, while the King settled with his new wife, Yaa Achamaa in Hia. The king later made a fitting abode for his mother-in-law and the rest of Yaa Achamaa’s family she had brought along in Asokore Mampong.
Because of her sobriety and her constant payment of attention to the King’s needs, she became his favourite wife, much to the derision of the other wives.
The king, after a while, made a request from the chief of Awomaso to for a parcel of land and built a small township as a final settlement for his stepchildren, mother-in-law and the rest of Yaa Achamaa’s family she had brought along in this new settlement, named Boadi. Yaa Achamaa visited her family often in Boadi. As the favourite wife of the king, the other wives now began to hate her with a passion. It is said that anytime she went to the King’s chamber, for example to retrieve an ornament she had forgotten on a previous visit, the king will drive out any other wife who was with him then, and invite her to come to be with him. Because of this, the other wives nicknamed her ‘wo ho ye ahi’, meaning ‘you are annoying’, hence the name ‘Huahi Achamaa Tutuwaa Royal Family.
Another point of derision by the wives of the king is was that she was not able to bear him a child and so they called her “barren”. This was a situation that troubled her greatly and brought about a noticeable change in her demeanor. The king noticed it and so in order to cheer her up, he created the ‘Ahenyeredwa’ in Boadi in her honour. She then moved to settle in Boadi under the stool name of ‘Nana Akyaa Tutuwaa I’.
Yaa Achamaa Tutuwaa visited her husband when it was her turn. She took along fresh palm wine, tapped by her brother, then used to sweeten her maize porridge. The King, having tasted and approved of this special drink, created a stool for him as his chief tapper. He also gave her two servants, Brekani and Otuotuni Akadeboa, the former to help tap the palm wine and the latter to hunt for bush meat, with which his favourite wife would prepare delicious meals for him upon every visit.
Yaa Achamaa Tutuwaa finally gave birth to two children for the king, Nana Konadu, a boy and Afia Ofi, a girl. This brought great rejoicing in the king’s palace. He honoured his favourite wife with many gifts and lavish celebrations on the birth of these two children. In furtherance of the royal lineage, Nana Konadu married his sister Afia Ofi. They produced two children, Yeboah and Akua Bow. Yeboah has Anima and Kwesi Addae whilst Akua Bow had Bekoe and Kwame Abosi, great grandson of Osei Tutu I and chief goldsmith of Asante who became the 1st Abusuapanyin of the family. Anima, Yeboah’s daughter had five children. Akosua Addae, Yaw Opoku, (2nd Abusuapanyin), Ababio, Mensah and Yaa Dufie. (2nd Customary Successor.) Akosua Addae, who was the third customary successor, had Yaa Anto and Ama Nyanta. Yaa Anto had Kwesi Owusu, who became the 3rd Abusuapanyin whilst his sister Ama Nyanta, daughter of the 3rd customary successor had 10 children. Akwasi Sarpong, Akua Asamoah, Nana Yaa Tutuwaa, Akosua Akyaa, Kwame Konadu (4thAbusuapanyin currently), Kwame Issah, Abena Ataa Sara, Kwabena Tawiah, Adwoa Yeboah Sakina and Odehye Kwabena Badu. Ama Nyanta’s first daughter, Akua Asamoah, is the mother of Yaa Afriyie, the deposed Nana Huahi Tutuwaa II and her fourth daughter, Abena Atta Sarah is the mother of Nana Kwesi Osei Bonsu, current President of Royal Family Counsel.

- @HuahiRoyals: Without proper references, this edit request cannot be done. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 16:53, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- In addition, please explain the relevance of all this family detail. The only part that appears to have any relevance to the article is the last paragraph and even then I don't see the significance of a court case deciding ownership of a area of land and why that is worthy of inclusion in the article.

- It doesn't matter anyway; it's not written in their own words. Mostly copied from https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/pressreleases/Asantehene-s-great-great-grandson-declares-family-lands-in-Kumasi-1473890. Alpha Piscis Austrini (talk) 19:01, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
I have references from the News Papers clearing stating the boundaries of the land. The town has been in dispute for over 40 years now.. The beneficiaries of the Boadi land are directly connected to the bloodline of the Otumfuor Osei Tutu I, which connotes a very special set of historical dispensation. I would like to upload pertinent information on wiki. Kindly assist me through out this course HuahiRoyals (talk) 06:34, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

- So you have written previously but you haven't answered my question from above - why is this information significant enough to warrant being in the article? Nthep (talk) 15:27, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
Boadi is a town which has a rich historical background tracing its roots from the Biological ancestry of Otumfuo Osei Tutu and Oheneyere Huahi Achama Tutuwaa. The family tree of the Royal was written down by the Asantehene Opoku Ware II and passed on to this current generation for preservation of his ancestral lineage HuahiRoyals (talk) 07:24, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
Did I answered your questions HuahiRoyals (talk) 18:14, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- Regardless of whether the questions were answered or not, you are still not adding sources to support your information. Or if you are, then you are not doing it properly. Alpha Piscis Austrini (talk) 18:21, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Facts on BOADI Town is published from an authentic source
editI am a native of the Boadi town and lawful representative of the royal family who are beneficial owners of all Boadi Lands with an Allodial interest. HuahiRoyals (talk) 18:27, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- And this means...what exactly, regarding this article? And what is this authentic source, since you have not actually said what it is. Alpha Piscis Austrini (talk) 18:29, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
Please try and amend to the source which I added. I’m new to wiki HuahiRoyals (talk) 18:41, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- I cannot do that at the moment. Previous conversations have included other editors not agreeing with adding it in the article, and I am inclined to agree with them. I just don't see how it is significant enough to warrant addition. They should be relevant to the town itself, not an entire biography about the people who founded it.
