Tour Guide Claims US State Kentucky Was Named After Ghanaian King

In a recent speculation that’s making waves on social media, a Ghanaian tour guide has revealed some secrets on the hidden origins of some U.S. states and Jamaica. Let us analyze the claims of the tour guide below.

In the process of a new tour, Nii-Aquaye, a Ghanaian tour guide revealed the that Kentucky State was not referred to by its current name. It was first once the royal playground of a Ga King called Nii Tackie, who gave salves to be taken to the US.

PLOT

According to Nii-Aquaye, the mindset was to prevent the slaves from getting lost in the American country, so whenever they landed at a place, they had to name that particular town after King Nii Tackie, who symbolizes the root of their identity. Hence, Kentucky [King Tackie].

“The actual name of Kentucky State is Nii Tackie. Nii Tackie was the king of Accra who was vibing with the slave masters. So the slaves that they bought from Nii Tackie’s hands to the state, for them not to get lost of their root, they have to make sure wherever the slaves settled they used that King’s name to name the town, Kentucky,” he explained as he engaged his tourists.

The story takes a huge turn and thickens doubts as he explained the names Nii and Naa in Ga.

“When you come to this community, it is whereby you gonna hear the name Nii and Naa. Nii means King and Naa means Queen.”

He also made some facts about the Ashantis, who landed in Jamaica, hence, naming it “Jamaica.”   Nii-Aquaye, the tour guide continued by explaining in Ashanti language, it’s ‘Gya ma yaka,’ meaning, “we are stuck on this land, we can no longer go back to Africa.”
