On April 22, 2019, a researcher and an author of the book, “Revelation, Movement of Akan People from Canaan to Ghana,” Martin Kwasi Abrokwah also known as Akanba, claimed that Jesus Christ was a full-blooded Ghanaian.

According to him, his years of study shows that the Messiah was actually an Akyem by tribe, from the East Akyem District of Eastern Region of Ghana.

“Jesus Christ was originally an Akan, to be specific an Akyem. He was from Asiakwa, Asiakwa is Bethlehem, Kyebi (Kibi) is Beersheba, Kumasi is the same as Samaria. If we say Jesus is from the tribe of Judah, that tribe is the Akyem in Ghana. The name Akyem is the short form of Jojakyem, the descendants of Jojakyem took the name Akyem as we know it in Ghana. Jojakyem was one time the king of Judah. From my etymological and anthropological research, Jesus Christ was a pure Akyem.” the anthropologist told sit-in host, Akwasi Nsiah, on Anopa Kasapa on Kasapa FM.
