Takoradi-based business woman enstooled Nkosuohemaa of Nsuta Bonkrong
Nana Frimpomaa Atakora Amoh-Yeboah
There is a saying that “a delivering woman is not given a crown until the placenta is out”.
So will the selfless and dedicated service rendered by a Takoradi-based business woman would have been in vain if the elders, opinion leaders and people of Nsuta Bonkrong in the Sekyere Central District of the Ashanti Region of Ghana had not whole-heartedly appreciated her efforts towards the development of the area.
In light of her philanthropism, Mrs. Theresa Amoh-Yeboah has been enstooled Nkosuohemaa (Development Queen) of Nsuta Bonkrong with stool name, Nana Frimpomaa Atakora Amoh-Yeboah I.
The honour bestowed on her buttresses the point of honouring hardworking personalities while they are living rather than giving them posthumous recognition.
Altruism has propelled Mrs. Amoh-Yeboah to her present position as the development queen of her area.
Just as there is a good woman behind every successful man, so there is a very responsible, humble and tolerant man behind every successful woman.
There is no gainsaying that Nana Frimponmaa Atakora Amoh-Yeboah and her better half, Mr. Justice Amoh-Yeboah, President of JUSTMOH Construction Limited, one of Ghana’s leading construction firms whose project execution cannot be questioned in relation to quality delivery, have lived up to expectation and deserve praises.
The colourful ceremony which was well attended by people from all walks of life including traditional rulers, business executives, friends of the Nkosuohemaa and the husband, saw rich display of Ashanti tradition and culture.
Also in attendance were the clergy from various denominations who were there to support and show appreciation to Nana Atakora Amoh-Yeboah I who has over the years supported community and church activities.
She swore the Oath of Allegiance to the Acting President of the Nsutaman Traditional Council, Nananom and the people to signify her acceptance of the position accorded her and to abide by the rules, regulations and responsibilities that go with her position as the Nkosuohemaa , which is not only to facilitate the development of Nsuta Bonkrong alone but the entire Sekyere Central District.
A grand durbar was held in her honour where she was presented to the world to begin her journey and work.
DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE
The Nsuta Bonkrong Nkosuohemaa who is people-centred and has a soft spot for the underprivileged in society has established the MAMA THESS Foundation as a special purpose vehicle for her philanthropic programmes. One of the priority areas of the Foundation is investment in girl-child education. A number of young girls in both Takoradi where she plies her business and Nsuta Bonkrong, her home town, have benefitted greatly from her generosity and are in school where she caters for all their needs to enable them access quality education and reach their goals. Teenage pregnancy is another concern of the Nkosuohemaa as she has devoted a lot of time, energy and resources to curb this canker.
SUPPORT FOR THE CHURCH
Being a devout Christian, she has collaborated with the husband to invest in the construction of the Nsuta Bonkrong Anglican Church, a project which started in 2007 to give a befitting place of worship to the Anglican Congregation. She has supported other church projects and the construction of a prayer centre at Adansi Kusa.
Love for children
As a responsible mother, she has extended her love not only to her biological children but also to the underprivileged children with special needs as well as orphans. It is, therefore, not surprising that, she is the Honorary Mother of the Twin- City Special School where she ensures the children are well catered for. The Kejebil Children’s Home in the Ahanta West Municipality in the Western Region is another beneficiary of her generous contribution to the well-being of children. She makes annual donations to the orphanage.
MOTIVATION
Nana Frimpomaa Atakora Amoh-Yeboah I has further indicated that, being blessed by the Almighty God makes it imperative for her to be a blessing to the have-nots.
“I have reached where I am by God’s grace and I can only show my appreciation to God by helping others.
“I will continue to do all I can to help as many people as I can so far as I have the strength with the help of my Maker”, she has stressed.
SUPPORT BASE
Nana Frimpomaa Atakora Amoh-Yeboah I who is married to Mr Justice Amoh, the President of Justmoh Construction Limited counts her husband as the strength and inspiration behind her work.
“He has always stood by me and pushed me to do more even when the going was tough. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my husband for standing by me from day one since I embarked on this philanthropic journey” she said.
FUTURE
She has promised to do more in her power as the new Nkosuohemaa to bring more development to her people and commended, Nana Osei Bosompem III, the Adako Jachiehene and Acting President of the Nsutaman Traditional Council, Nana Tutuwaa III, Adako Jachiehemaa, Nana Aboagye Sakyi, Nsuta Bonkrong Odikro, the chiefs, elders and people for the trust reposed in her and assured of working to meet their expectations.
Nana Amoh-Yeboah I has appealed to all Ghanaians to do the little they can to help better the lives of the unprivileged.
JUSTICE AMOH
Mr Justice Amoh who was obviously enthused about the elevation of his wife to the position was seen with her throughout the ceremony and promised to continue to stand by her in her new role to impact more lives.
HOUSE 2 FRATERNITY (H2F)
Mr Amoh affectionately referred to as “Uncle Justmoh” is also one of the patrons of the H2F and despite his busy schedule, participates actively in the fraternity’s activities. It was, therefore, not out of place that the administrator of H2F, Esther Eduwah Hagan led a team from Takoradi to support the grand enstoolment of Mrs Theresa Amoh-Yeboah as the Nkosuohemaa of Nsuta Bonkrong in the Sekyere Central District of the Ashanti Region.

Massive celebrations were recorded countrywide as the Black Stars opened their 2026 World Cup campaign with a 1-0 victory over Panama in Toronto on Wednesday.
Midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi scored the only goal of the match late in the game as he shot in a decent cross from substitute Brandon Asante.
The win gave Ghana a positive start in the competition, placing them in second position behind England, also with three points but with a superior goal aggregate.
After the final whistle, the streets and other viewing centres were turned into partying grounds as fans, mostly clad in the team’s paraphernalia, danced to several World Cup-themed music.
Others blew the vuvuzelas in joyous mood with others putting up a spirited ‘jama’ session.
Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for the Adentan Constituency, Akosua Manu, has urged party members to move away from what she describes as an “entitlement mentality” and focus on unity, sacrifice and hard work as the party prepares for the 2028 general election.
In a statement titled “Is Loyalty a Queue?”, and posted on facebook, Ms. Manu argued that loyalty to the NPP should not be judged by how long a person has been in the party but by their contributions and commitment to its growth.
According to her, the NPP’s history shows that many of its leaders faced significant opposition from within the party before eventually leading it to electoral success.
She cited former President John Agyekum Kufuor as an example, saying he had to overcome resistance from influential figures within the party before winning power for the NPP in 2000.
Ms. Manu noted that after the party lost power in 2008, former President Kufuor faced criticism and accusations from some party members.
However, she said supporters eventually put their differences aside and worked together to rebuild the party.
She pointed to the experience of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who, according to her, faced opposition from some factions within the NPP despite his long service to the party.
“His trials were ten times what Kufuor endured,” she stated, adding that Akufo-Addo eventually overcame the challenges and became President of Ghana.
Turning to the NPP’s current flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Ms. Manu said he also faced resistance from different groups within the party while seeking leadership.
She praised Dr. Bawumia for contributing to policy-based political discussions in Ghana and for remaining composed following the NPP’s defeat in the 2024 elections.
According to her, party members must now rally behind him in the same way they supported former Presidents Kufuor and Akufo-Addo.
Ms. Manu, however, warned that internal divisions and a sense of entitlement remain major threats to the party’s future.
She argued that some party members place too much emphasis on how long individuals have belonged to the NPP rather than on their contributions and capabilities.
“This entitlement does not question impact. It does not ask what you sacrificed or what you built. It asks only how long have you been here,” she said.
The former parliamentary candidate cautioned that such attitudes could discourage committed members and prevent the party from selecting the best people for leadership positions.
She further called on the party’s incoming national executives to strengthen the NPP’s core values of sacrifice, honesty, integrity and dedication to national development.
Ms. Manu addressed the concerns of young party supporters, many of whom she said became discouraged following the NPP’s electoral defeat in 2024.
According to her, many young people remain eager to see the party return to power but are unwilling to support internal conflicts driven by personal ambitions.
She urged party elders to place the interests of the NPP above their individual goals and to demonstrate leadership that attracts rather than alienates members.
“The NPP is bigger than any one of us. It always has been. Our collective responsibility is to act like it,” she stated.
