Asafoiatse (CB) Family marked this year’s Homowo festival with a family reunion party in their house at Swalaba popularly known as “Phobia House” in Accra.
Descendants from all over Ghana and abroad converged at the house known to have given birth to Accra Hearts of Oak in 1911 to celebrate the festival and share nostalgic times together while networking for broader family links.
Briefing The Spectator on the reunion party, Christopher Darlington Nettey, a member of the family said the family which was now extended beyond the shores of Ghana had always used the festival to bring kinsfolk to the family house not only to fraternise but also to deliberate on issues relating to the progress and peaceful coexistence of family members.
” We usually meet here to take decision on burial activies of our departed beloved ones and since we cannot mix that with partying, we set this day aside to have fun and take into account past issues which need our attention,” he said.
Mr Nettey said the focus this year was to ensure the nominations for two vacant positions,being the Head of Family and the Asafioatse of the clan to occupy his position at the Gbese Mantse palace.
He said the two positions which were paramount to the hierarchy structure of the family had remained vacant since the Family Head died a few months ago.
Mr Nettey said since the Family Head was the one to nominate the Asafoiatse,it has then become imperative to emphasise on his nomination and subsequent installation this year.
He commended those at the reunion and urged others who could not make it to try and come around another time in order to foster unity amongst Asafoiatse Nettey descendants.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
