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. Another name for Moree is Kwegyakrom.
Ofarnyi Kwegya was a master fisherman who was able to capture huge number of fish 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.
Simpa (Winneba) was founded by Efutu settlers under the leader Osimpa, hence the name Simpa. Winneba as a town, was founded by fishermen settlers from Oguaa and Edina. Ancient Efutu fishermen from Oguaa and Edina used Winneba as their place of rest before they continue their journey in search for fish.
The late Ofarnyi Kwegya was the greatest fisherman ever to have lived in Gahana. After his death, no fisherman has been able to equal his achievements.
