"Asante's Report on the Second Quarter of 1877"

5 young men of the village of Apinaman (South of Kibi) have announced themselves as catechists. Preaching in Kibi is suffering from a great decrease in population due not only to the effects of the Emancipation, but also to many families moving out into farming villages. Because of this, and other circumstances, the Okyenhene has travelled to the coast to ask advice of the regime. It is much to be deplored that he is losing the respect of his people. He, on the other hand, nurses a secret hatred against the Christians, believing that their leaving his town for the mission station is a contributory factor to his difficulties.
