The path crosses the river, the river crosses the path, who is the elder?

Akom that crosses the river. The river of spiritual enlightenment and knowledge
flows over the path of Akom, who is the elder?
The River is from long ago
| We give thanks and praises to Nyame for blessing the children of Akom with the wonderful soul of Okomfohemma Nana Oparebeah The late High Priestess of the Nana Akonnedi Shrine of Larteh Ghana |
Okomfohemma Nana Oparebeah of Larteh Okomfohemma Nana Oparebeah was chosen by Nyame and the Abosom to find and lead Africa’s children in America home again. . Nana worked for over fifty years of her life devoted to the work of Nyame through the Abosom and Nsamanfo. Because of the wonderful healing and spiritual strength that Nana Oparebeah possessed in her early years as a Nana Asuo Gyebi Okomfo, she became the most powerful Chief Priestess of the renowned and greatly respected Nok Ware Fie, house of the Nana Akonnedi Shrine of Larteh... Okomfohemma Nana Oparebeah was well known throughout Ghana, America, Europe and other parts of the world. It is America that Okomfohemma Nana Oparebeah was sent to by the Abosom, to bring back the descendants of Ghana to their original way of communication with Nyame, the Abosom and Nsamanfo. Nana’s meeting with Omanhene Nana Yao Opare Dinizulu in the late sixties was the beginning of The Sacred Order of Akom in America. Nana Oparebeah’s spirit lives on with the continuation of Akom in Ghana and America; Everyday African descendants are reawakening to the wonders and beauty of the Sacred Akom. Nana was loved and equally feared by many. Those that feared her knew she would not tolerate evil. Those that loved her knew she was someone special who had touched their lives not for a moment but forever. Omanhene Nana Yoa Opare Dinizulu In 1965 Nana Yao Opare Dinizulu was the divine link that the Abosom used to bring the Sacred Order of Akom to America. The mission had already been given to Nana Oparebeah, now the Abosom on the other side of the water instructed Omanhene Nana Dinizulu through a spiritual reading that he was a descendant of a royal family in Ghana. And instructed him to travel to Ghana and seek out his lineage. The divine plan of Nyame was at work. Nana Dinizulu traveled to Ghana to verify this at the Nana Akonnedi Shrine. This is where he met and befriended Okomfohemma Nana Oparebeah. It was at the Nana Akonnedi Shrine that the Abosom verified that Nana Dinizulu was in fact a royal descendant of Ghana. Omanhene Nana Dinizulu brought back with him from Ghana the first Nana Asuo Gyebi , Nana Asi Ketewa and Nana Adade Kofi Shrines to America. And the first Akom Festival for Nana Asuo Gyebi was held by Omanhene Nana Dinizulu and his organization the Bosom Dzemawodzi. Nana Dinizulu formalized the first Odwira in America and Puberty Rites Ceremony that continues today. He was loved by many and is affectionately referred to as the father of Akom in America.
