OFARNYI KWEGYA

The Great Fisherman: Ofarnyi Kwegya, The Statue Of The Giant That Arrived From Ancient Egypt to Ghana Erected At Moree In The Central Region 🇬🇭 🇬🇭

Ofarnyi Kwegya was part of Asebu Amanfi and his group of people that arrived from Ancient Egypt to present day Asebu town in the Central Region of Ghana. Asebu Amanfi and Ofarnyi Kwegya were both giants according to oral traditional history.

Asebu Amanfi on his arrival moved inland and founded Asebu township. Ofarnyi Kwegya was a master fisherman who settled on the coast due to the abundance of Mɔrolɛ (Stingray) in the rivers, henceforth the name Mɔrolɛ or Moree.

The late Ofarnyi Kwegya was the greatest fisherman ever to have lived in Ghana. After his death, no fisherman has been able to equal his achievements. Ofarnyi Kwegya was a master fisherman who was able to capture huge number of fishes due to his size.

His fishing activities took him and his men to several parts of the coast of present day Central Region. He settled in Moree, Winneba and other parts of the coast due to his fishing activities.
