Because of his spiritual powers, he became known as Okomfo Notsie (in Ewe language, Notsie Hunor) or Notsie priest. In Anlo oral history, we learnt Tsala (Okomfo Anokye) returned to Notsie around 1695 to consult with his brother Tsali before accepting the invitation of King Osei Tutu of Ashanti to help establish his kingdom (Ashanti Kingdom).

The Speaker, Rt Hon Alban S.K Bagbin has called on stakeholders in Africa to confront the challenges that have afflicted  the Pan-African Parliament to enable the  continental legislative body to resume meetings.  He said the continent’s resolve to strengthen diplomacy at the parliamentary level among its member states can only be meaningful if urgent steps are taken to resume the operations of the Pan-African Parliament.  “We have gone beyond the traditional function of parliament to using parliament as an effective tool for parliamentary diplomacy” Rt.
