The Chief

Nana Ahwew VII - Tufuhen of Abora Wiomoah - Abora State - Central Region - Ghana

Fontomfrom, Fontomfrom 

Nana ɔrɛba ooo Nana ɔrɛba ooo 

The king sat on his throne looked around at all that was his home. 

Heavy is the head that wears crown.

The weight on the shoulders will wear him down. 

The spirit of the ancestors are with him. 

He has to bring the spirit from within to help in his rule

To protect his stool and win the hearts and support of the people around

 Nana tinasɛ, 

 Nana brɛ brɛ

 Nana brɛ brɛ

Mini Mini Shoe Market

The sun was bright It was hot and sticky

 Market traders were out

 Customers being picky

 Suddenly in front of me

 Fantastic colours appeared 

Dazzling my eyes

 I saw the trader whose road side shop was

 Full of multi coloured shoes 

Every shoe had it's own story
