Mmoaniko is celebrated by the people of Offinso, to commemorate the bravery and wisdom of Nana Wiafe Akenten I, who opted for land instead of jewelry, when some of the paramount chiefs of Asante were awarded by the Asantehene (Asante King) after one of their successful wars.

Offinso is one of the largest traditional areas within the Asante Kingdom, courtesy this bravery and wise decision. It is celebrated amid drumming and dancing.

It is colourful and brings to the full glare of visitors the rich Asante culture.
