The untold story about Ghana’s business mogul, Samuel Esson Jonah, by Lawyer Frimpong Anokye

Very high profile man by all standards. He should have been the president. The hostess is so intelligent too . Kudos to to Dr Frimpong

Are Assin people Fantes?

Sam was employed as official learner, that's was to be trained to become a senior officer.

And Bibiani mines

When most of us as aspiring followers of your podcast elsewher see your face we get immediately turned off because we know we cannot follow due to your language barrier. Mxiium...foolish inconsuderate non-inclusive nonsense.

I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT SAM JONAH, BUT IS IT TRUE THAT HE STOLE GHANA'S GOLD TO ENRICH HIMSELF. PROVE ME WRONG!!!

Please where from his mother, l heard the mom or dad is ewe, please is it true? He is humble and great man even though l have not personally meet him

Lawyer is full of wisdom.... God bless you ❤❤❤❤❤

In all these achievements, Ghana still couldn't benefit anything out of our gold..

Wow amazing,a life well live

Sam jona is part of Ghanas problem,what did he do for Ghana since being with obuasi goldfields now Anglo gold,he didn't do nothing but enriched himself, how much did Ghana gets during his time 3%

Yes, Sir Sam Jonah is an iconic figure in Obuasi. There is a whole estate named after him. He is a great person in Obuasi.

He was down to earth in fact he was the first African to be appointed General Mines Manager at Obuasi Mines then A.G.C. and also the first African to live in the European area in Obuasi.

Sam Jonah is from Assin not Fante

HE IS JUST SITTING THERE PRAISING HIM, GO TO OBUASI AND DO YOUR INVESTIGATION ABOUT HIM, HE GOT POSITION IN THE COMPANY TO ENRICH HIMSELF

Manhyia Palace is dirty as compared to the palace at ASSIN KUSEA.....MFANTSE NYI ....mapa......

Hello Everyone,

This is an unwanted discussion. Let me ask you, how did Mr. Jonah receive knighthood from the British? Dr. Frimpong, please, to hold your dignity, refrain from talking about everybody without due diligence. Please, we don't want to lose respect for you. It appears you are being paid to do this. If not, for what other reason are you embarking on this journey. All those big names, titles, and degrees have not helped anyone in this country.

For Obousa roads claim , there is a question: the roads are not good

I still don't understand why Ghana still gets less than 8% in mining

This man is NOT a historian. He's polluting the minds of Ghanaian. You "journalists" should get off your lazy bums and find real historians. This one is fake. You believe him because you don’t know any better.

A Great Asset to the continent.

But not Sam Joen didn't do nothing inn Obuasi if call us. I was born in Obuasi working inn Obuasi
a

Sam didn't do anything in Obuasi please please please don't talk sheet know one like Sam Joena inn Obuasi

Great program. Let’s celebrate our icons whilst they are alive. Lawyer Anokye I salute u sir

GREAT PERSONALITY

Bigs ups to Uncle kwesi kakraba (Sam Jonah). Much love

The lawyer’s account is not fully accurate.
I worked at AGC in the late seventies and early eighties.
General I . K Acheampong demanded a fair share of 45% of the company which was then owned by Lonhro. The General manager of the company, a man called general Spears was angered by the demand and threatened to “flood” the mines. Acheampong called his bluff and got his wish for Ghana. The next general manager by 1979 was called Manager Box (hope I spelled the name right) I was in the company when Rawlings used to visit the company very often. He also demanded a higher percentage of shares in the company, and therefore had the right to appoint the general manager.
Rawlings appointed Sam Jonah by popular support and demand of the miners.

This guy is a fake historian

This Lawyer Frimpong never tell any truth. Sam Jonah is not from Assin Kushea. His mother Beatrice Jonah is not a native from Assin Kushea. His brother is regent chief but not because he hailed from any royal home. Soon the whole ghana will destool his brother and your lies will be exposed.

He used to have a poultary farm at Ashaiman near the Tema roundabout in the early 90s

It's never true. Come to Obuasi we will tell you his proper lifestyle. Selfish man

My admiration for Lawyer Frimpong Anokye Knows no bounds. For he brings the history of Ghana to life. However, I feel he should look at things from the African perspective. This is because whiles people like Sir Sam Jonah's achievements are by no means mean, they do not tell the whole story. The question is: how does an African in this day and age, become a Knight of the British Empire? I believe it is because his contributions to the British Empire are immense. We therefore have to ask: Is the British Empire and Modern Ghana on the same path of progress? If not, then we must understand that, whiles one is winning, the other is losing. Moreover, we must understand that schools like Adisadel College were instituted by our colonial masters (Society For the Propagation of the Gospel) to train indigenes to do their biding.

Great work sir, Sir please my name is Kwasi Ababio, l am from Peki in the Volta region pls l want to know the history about the poeple of Peki how come we have an Akan name, thank you sir.

Mfantsedɔm!!! Fantes always bring forth great and mighty people

Lawyer you talk too much.
JJ Demolished Sam Jonah Hotel. Can the Lawyer tell us the reason?

Sam Jonah is a thieve

This woman is not professional

HE IS THE GREATEST WE ALL KNOW.., BUT HE USED HIS CLEVERNESS TO HELP WHITEMEN TO EXPLOIT AFRICA !SO HE ONCE SAID ,THEY(OLD MAN) REGRET LEAVING THE AFRICA YOUTH IN THIS BAD AND DISGRACEFUL MATTER .I WON'T BE SUPRISE HE PAID THEM TO SPEAK ABOUT HIM.HE'S DISGRACE TO MOTHER GHANA AND AFRICA AS WHOLE .He never resign OBUASI !

Sir Sam Jona is a great man. As my dad's class mate in Adisco he sponsored my 6th form education when my dad passed away. I am what I am today because of Sir Jona's generosity.

This man is part of the downfall of Ghana! He was the boss for Ashanti Goldfields for so manyy years but was not even able to develop a small town like Obuasi. He managed to manipulate the resources of Ashanti Goldfields to his own benefits!! All the certificates he achieved what benefits did we get from him for the country!! Maser just stop the talking and give us our peace! This Sam Jonah contributed nothing to Ghana, he is now based in South Africa for a long time!! I think he just want to join politics now!! Maser just tell us what he viably contributed to the country!!!
He is just corrupt!

DOES THIS GYIMII GYIMII ANOKYE FRIMPONG DESERVE TO BE CALLED A LAWYER OR HISTORIAN? tweeaaaa!!

Lukaku don catch stray bullet 🥲

Lawyer Frimpong Anokye is not a historian but rather a gossiper. He is not a reliable historian.A real liar

I Will be back

EFUOM PRAISE-SINGER. ALL THE GOLD AND DIAMOND MINING COMMUNITIES IN GHANA ARE GHOST TOWNSHIPS, WHY? BECAUSE ALL THE ROYALTIES PAID OUT FOR DEVELOPING THOSE COMMUNITIES HAVE BEEN LOOTED BY CHIEFS, POLITICIANS AND ELDERS OF GHANA. NO SOCIAL AMENITIES. TO THIS DAY, GHANA'S LEADERS STILL GO CHASING THE IMF FOR LOANS AND HANDOUTS, AND THIS BUSH MAN IS BLABBING ABOUT SAM JONAH. HOW DID SAM JONAH BECOME "SIR"? OH, BLACK MAN! INDEED, IN THE LAND OF THE BLIND, THE ONE-EYED MAN IS KING. SAM JONAH MADE AN IMPACT ONLY ON HIS PERSONAL FINANCIAL STATUS AND NOT ON THE VAST MAJORITY OF GHANAIANS AND GHANA. THAT'S WHY GHANA IS STILL A BANKRUPT HOPELESSLY INDEBTED AND TAXED THIRD-WORLD NATION THAT PROGRESSIVE NATIONS DO NOT RESPECT. OUR SO-CALLED LEADERS AND ELDERS HAVE DESTROYED OUR POTENTIALLY RICH NATION. THAT'S WHY MANY GHANAIANS HAVE FLED THE COUNTRY TO ESCAPE "DUMSOR" AND THE HOPELESSNESS.

The people who need to run the business side of Ghana
