Afua Kobi

Afua Kobi (fl. 1834–1884) was an Asantehemaa of the Ashanti Empire.

Afua Kobi, an Asante ruler in the Asante Kingdom in present day Ghana, was an "asantehemaa", that refers to a "queen mother". She informed the Asante royal council to avoid the war with British in the 19th century, but was active in the ensuing war. Afua Kobi was born into Asante aristocracy and was the daughter of asantehene, the king Owusu Afriye and asantehemaa Afua Sapon, and became the ninth asantehemaa in the Asante dynasty.
