Feature: Otumfuo Glides Into 76 In Style
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II glided into his 76th birthday. Oheneba Mensah Bonsu sent Nana Osei Tutu II to Sefwi Wiawso Secondary School in 1964.
Nana Barima Kwaku Duah, born on May 6, 1950, to Nana Afua Kobi Serwaa Ampem II and Nana Kwame Boakye Dankwa, studied accounting at the Institute of Professional Studies (IPS) Accra, now the University of Professional Studies (UPSA), and then read Human Resource Development and Public Administration at Kilburn Polytechnic. The celebration of his 76th birthday reached a climax with a Thanksgiving Service at St. Cyprian's Anglican Church. Otumfuo walked into the Church with Lady Julia. Apostle Kwadwo Nimfour Opoku Nyinah delivered a 50-minute sermon.
Apostle Kwadwo Nimfour Opoku Nyinah referred to Matthew 22: 15-22 and the 27-year-old rulership of Asanteman by Otumfuo. He called on Otumfuo to "do something about" the rising cost of funerals. He suggested going back to the days when our grandparents would do "abuada-wesee" (dry fasting) or restrict the funeral activities to serving only palm-wine as decreed under Otumfuo Opoku Ware.
