RE: Misrepresentation of Kue Land in “Akyode people History” by @IAM_FYN

In response to a recent video shared by TikTok content creator @IAM_FYN, we feel the need to respond clearly and firmly to serious inaccuracies concerning the ownership of Kue land — the ancestral home of the Tem Kotokoli people.

In the video, @IAM_FYN stated that the Akyode people gave Kue land to the Challa people, implying that the Akyode originally owned the land. This claim is historically incorrect, factually misleading, and deeply troubling.

Let it be stated without ambiguity:
Kue land has never belonged to the Akyode people. It is the ancestral and rightful home of the Tem Kotokoli people. Our forefathers founded and settled Kue long before modern or colonial boundaries were established. Our historical claim to the land is rooted in generations of ancestral connection.

To the Akyode Community — Know Your Boundaries

If @IAM_FYN’s statement was based on input from elders within the Akyode community, we issue this respectful but firm message:
You are entitled to your lands — such as Shiare, your historic hometown — but you do not have any historical, ancestral, or rightful claim to Kue. Attempts to revise or extend your land narratives to include Kue are baseless and unacceptable.

If the video was based on independent research, then we call on @IAM_FYN to recheck and verify the sources. Misrepresentation of historical facts is not a small matter. It can lead to division, community tension, and long-standing conflict — issues we have seen elsewhere in Ghana.

Kue Is Kotokoli Land — Always Has Been

Let us set the record straight:

• The Akyode people did not give Kue land to anyone.

• Kue was founded by the Tem Kotokoli people, and it remains their ancestral home.

• There is no historical link that places Kue under Akyode ownership or administration.

• Just as Shiare is to the Akyode, Kue is to the Kotokoli.

This is not up for debate — it is well-documented history, held and protected through generations.

A Call for Responsible Storytelling

We, the Tem Kotokoli people, are a peaceful and respectful community. But we will not stand by silently when our land, heritage, and identity are misrepresented. We encourage @IAM_FYN — and all content creators, historians, and cultural commentators — to take greater care when discussing sensitive topics like land ownership and ethnic history.

We are not seeking conflict. We are demanding truth and respect.
