Hello, I'm Elizium23. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Akan people, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 23:22, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Yes its indeed true that I didn't put citation. This is because this is a common knowledge in the Akan society so it doesn't require citation. The spelling "Afia" is used by majority of Akans tribes in Ghana. The "Afua" or "Efua" versions is only used by Fantes. I can tell you which one is popular but I cannot provide you with statistics or citation. If it serves any purpose, my mother is a full (100%) Akyem. My father is 50% Ashanti and 50% Akwamu. All these are Akan tribes and they use Afia. So I'm 50% Akyem, 25% Ashanti and 25% Akwamu. I know because this is my background. I've seen a few references online but non is going to give you any statistics.
