THE GA-ADANGBES (GA-DANGBES) ORIGINALLY CONSISTED OF THREE ACTIVE SUB-NATIONS: THE “GA-ASAFO” PEOPLE OF THE GA SPEAKING LANGUAGE, THE “DANGBE-ASAFO” PEOPLE OF THE DANGBE SPEAKING LANGUAGE AND THE “E-GBE” PEOPLE OF THE EWE SPEAKING LANGUAGE. THE "EGBE" PEOPLE ARE NOW NON-ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE GA-ADANGBES (GA-DANGBES). THOSE THREE ACTIVE NATIONS MERGED INTO ONE AS A NATION KNOWN AS  THE GA-ADANGBES OR GA-DANGBES (GA-ADA-GBE). BOTH PRONUNCIATIONS ARE ACCEPTABLE. THE “N” IS SILENCE IN THE FIRST PRONUNCIATION (GA-ADA-N-GBE). THE WORD "GA-ADANGBE" (GA-DANGBE) WAS COINED FROM THE NAMES OF THE THREE NATIONS AND NAMED AFTER THEIR NEWLY BORN NATION "THE GA-ADANGBE" (GA-DANGBE) .

EACH OF THE SUB-NATIONS CONSISTED OF MANY TOWNS, CITIES AND VILLAGES. THEIR SETTLEMENT COVERED AN AREA ORIGINALLY KNOWN AS “THE GA-ADANGBE (GA-DANGBE) REGION”, UNTIL THE EUROPEAN COLONIZATION. AFTER THAT THE TERRITORY BECAME KNOWN AS THE SO-CALLED “GREATER ACCRA REGION”. THEIR PRESENT LOCATION IS IN THE SOUTH EAST OF THE PRESENT GHANA.

THEY HAVE AN ANCIENT HABIT OF SETTLING ALONG OCEAN SHORES AND HAVE MYSTERIOUS DISTINCT INTERESTS ALONG RIVER DELTAS.THIS HABIT IS DUE TO THEIR SPIRITUAL PASSION AND BELIEF OF THE DIVINE “NU” ( NUMO or NYUMO ) NAMED AFTER WATER, WHOSE PART IS  THE DIVINITY “HU” NAMED AFTER BRIGHTNESS OR SHINING, WHICH WHEN JOINED TOGETHER BECOME “HUNU” (THE SUN), THE SYMBOL OF "NUMO", THE SOURCE OF ALL LIFE.

THIS THE GA-ADAGBES HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED SINCE DAWN THROUGH THE CELESTIAL BODIES ,CELESTIAL NAVIGATIONS, AGRICULTURE AND FISHING.  THEREFORE, THE GA-ADANGBES ARE NOT JUST FISHERMEN OR JUST INTO AGRICULTURE,  BUT PRACTICE THESE PHENOMENON LEGACY AS PART OF THE "NU" PEOPLE (NUBIANS) OF THE DIVINITY "NU". (NUMO OR NYUMO IS DERIVED FROM THE DIVINITY "NU";- THE ORIGINAL KNOWN NAME OF THE SUPREME DIVINE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, WHICH THE GA-ADANGBES HAVE MAINTAINED THROUGH THEIR "NU-BIAN" ANCESTORS).

THE GA-ADANGBES, WHO WERE PART MEMBERS OF MANY GENERATIONS OF THE ANCIENT NUBII (NUBIANS), WERE ONCE SETTLED WITHIN THE UBAIDAN NATION REGIONS OF THE ANCIENT SUMA’S “SHINAA”.  THE "SHINAA" BEING THE TERRITORIES OF THE TIGRIS AND EUPHRATES RIVERS, AN AREA BELIEVED TO BE THE ANCIENT PARADISE (GARDEN OF EDEN) AND A HOLY GROUND OF HOLY PRACTICES OF THE ANCIENT NUBIANS BEFORE AND DURING THE ERA OF THE ORACLE-KING WARRIOR "NIMROID" (NIMLOI), THE SON OF KUSHI (KUSH) AND THE GREAT GRAND SON OF THE NU-BIAN "NOAH" OF THE GREAT FLOOD. THIS AREA LATER BECAME KNOWN AS MESOPOTAMIA.

THE NUBIAN TONGUE PRESERVES ITS AUTHENTICITY BY ABIDING TO ITS ANCIENT SPIRITUAL LEGACY. THIS IS EVIDENT IN THE ADA LANGUAGE OF THE GA-ADANGBE SUB-NATION, WHICH RETAINED THE ANCESTRAL NAME "NIMLOR" SPELT BY THE MODERN HEBREW,GREEK OR LATIN AS "NIMROID". THUS, A SAYING IN THE ADA LANGUAGE;- 'NOR NOR TSHAPI "NIMLOI" OR "NOMLOI", LITERALLY MEANS ;THIS PERSON IS NOT A "NIMROID" (NIMLOI). THIS SAYING IS ADDRESSED TO A PERSON WHO DO NOT POSSESS THE CHARACTERISTICS AND QUALITIES OF "NIMLOI" AS A WARRIOR, KING, AN ORACLE OR A PERSON OF HOLY SPIRITUAL PRACTICES. THEREFORE, A PERSON WHO IS NOT A GOOD PERSON, OR ANY PERSON OR PERSONS WHO WILL DO ANYTHING BAD MAY BE ADDRESSED AS "NOR NOR TSHAPI NIMLOI".   

MANY THOUSANDS OF YEARS B.C. THE “ADA/KROBO”, “GA,” “GBE” AND OTHER RELATIVE NATIONS WERE PART OF THE "YOOHUBA" NATION (YORUBA), THEN PART OF THE SUMA/ UBAIDA PEOPLE WHO WERE ATTACKED OUT OF THEIR LAND BY TERRORISTS AND VANDALS. DUE TO THESE ATTACKS SOME OF THE NUBIANS WERE ENSLAVED WITHIN THEIR OWN NATIONS AND SUB NATIONS AND MOST OF THEM RELOCATED TO MANY RELATIVES AREAS ON THE NUBIAN CONTINENT NOW CALLED “AFRICA”. MOST CHANGED THEIR NATIONS NAMES DUE TO SECURITY REASONS, AND OTHER NAMES WERE CHANGED DUE TO EUROPEAN COLONIZATION, COUPLED WITH RELIGION AND LANGUAGE CONVERSIONS.

MANY OF THE (UBAIDAN) “IBADA” PEOPLE THEN OF THE SUMA TERRITORY CAN BE FOUND AMONG MANY TERRITORIES IN THE PRESENT AFRICA, MOSTLY IN NIGERIA'S YORUBA.   YOO-RU-BA = THE FEMALE COUNTER-PART OF THE SUPREME DIVINE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE. THE MALE COUNTER-PART IS "NU".

OTHERS WHO WERE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE NAME "SUMA" ARE NOW IN THE NORTH-EAST NUBIA, NOW KNOWN AS NORTH EAST AFRICA, THEY ARE THE "SUMA-LI" PEOPLE NOW "SOMALIA" AND "ERITREA". BEFORE THEY WERE INFLUENCED BY THE PHOENICIANS AND THE PHOENICIAN LANGUAGE, SOME OF THEM MIGRATED TO THE PRESENT WEST AFRICAN TERRITORIES. BY THEN THE TWIN MALE BROTHER OF "SUMA" WHO WAS "FU" or "FU-LA" WHO GENERATIONS  LATER BECAME KNOWN AS THE "FULANIS" HAD ALREADY MIGRATED TO VARIOUS AREAS. MASSIVE SPECIFIC GROUPS OF THE "FU"/"FULA" GENERATION SETTLED IN SUB-SAHARAN WEST AFRICA AS THE "MALI NATION" AND IN THE VAST REGION . THEY THEN MINGLED WITH SOME OF THEIR RELATIVE NATIONS.

THE NAME "FU"or "FULA", WHOM THE GREEK CALLED (TEFNU) "TEFU-NU" WAS THEN NAMED TO THE RIVER LATER KNOWN AS THE "EUPHRATES RIVER'", WHILE HIS TWIN SISTER "SUMA" WAS NAMED AFTER THE RIVER LATER KNOWN AS "TIGRIS-RIVER".     

PORTIONS OF THE “NU-PEOPLE” NOW PHONETICALLY CALLED “NUBIANS” GROUPED AND MERGED INTO THE NATION CALLED “GA-ADAGBES" (GA-ADANGBES) WHO MIGRATED TO THE SUMA REGION FROM THE BANKS OF RIVER NILE'S UPPER TERRITORIES AND THE TERRITORIES OF THE LAKE NYANZA’S VAST REGION. AT THESE AREAS THEY WERE INTERMINGLED WITH THEIR OTHER RELATIVE SUB-NUBII NATIONS. 

THOUGH THE BIRTH OF THE FULL NAME “GA-ADANGBE”, OCCURRED SHORTLY BEFORE THE BRITISH COLONIZATION OF THE PRESENT GHANA, THE INDIVIDUAL SUB-NATIONS OF THE GA-ADAGBE NATION EXISTED BEFORE THE BRITISH NATION AND EUROPE IN GENERAL.  HOWEVER, SINCE THE COLONIZATION OF THE WEST AFRICANS BY THE EUROPEANS, MANY WEST AFRICANS HAVE BEEN INFLUENCED BY THEM AND PORTRAY MORE OF A EUROPEAN ATTITUDE, EVIDENCED BY  SPEAKING MORE EUROPEAN LANGUAGES THAN THEIR OWN TONGUES AND DRESSING MORE IN EUROPEAN FASHIONS THAN THEIR OWN STYLES.

HOWEVER, THOUGH INTELLIGENCE IS FAR DIFFERENT FROM EUROPEAN EDUCATION, SOME OF THE FEEBLE-MINDED (LACKING THE NORMAL MENTAL CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE OR POWER) AMONG THE "NUBIANS" NOW AFRICANS, HAVE DAMAGED THEIR TRUE BIRTHRIGHTS IDENTITY AND HAVE BECOME LIMBO MINDED, “LESS CULTURED "NUBIANS",BY ADOPTING EUROPEAN CULTURES YET NOT QUALIFIED TO BE EUROPEANS”. (AFRICA IS A NAME OF A ROMAN GENERAL, PART OF THIS GENERAL’S FULL NAME WAS CYPIO AFRICANUS).

AS YOU READ ON, YOU WILL FIND THE GA-ADAGBES AUTHENTICITY IN CONFLICT WITH AN ONGOING LIVE DAMAGING CULTURE OF SOME OF THE GA-ADAGBES.

THE GA-ADAGBES AND THEIR ANCESTORS MASTERED IN THEOLOGY BEFORE THEY STARTED PRACTICING MONOTHEISM PRIOR TO SETTLING IN THE PRESENT GHANA, AMONG THEIR RELATIVE NATIONS. OVER MANY RELOCATIONS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS, AFTER THEY HAD FOUND MOST OF THEIR SUB-NATIONS THEY IMMEDIATELY ESTABLISHED WHAT HAD ALWAYS BEEN IN THEIR POSSESSION BEFORE AND AFTER THE NILE RIVER BANKS MIGRATION,WHICH IS THE OLD KNOWN LEGACY: “THE HOLY TESTIMONY OF THE OSA’S ASAFO WITH THE ASAFOATSEMEI HOLY PRACTICES OF THE “KPA” DOCTRINE. THIS RESURRECTED THEIR ANCIENT “HOMOWO” ATONEMENT FESTIVAL THAT THEY HAD KNOWN SINCE THEIR ANCIENT SETTLEMENTS ALONG THE BANKS OF THE RIVER NOW CALLED RIVER NILE.

WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE GA-ADANGBES PASSIONATELY DEMONSTRATED THEIR ANCIENT SPIRITUAL INTEGRITY. THEY CAREFULLY CONSTRUCTED ANCIENT SACRED SHRINES OF THE CONE STEPS STYLE, INSTEAD OF THE LATTER PYRAMID STEP STYLE. THESE CONE STEP STYLE SHRINES WERE CONSTRUCTED AT LOCATIONS OF INTENTIONAL DEGREES (ANGLES) AND DISTANCES BETWEEN THEM. THEY ATTENDED TO THE SHRINES ACCORDING TO THEIR REPRESENTATION AND THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES. EACH SPIRITUAL NAME OF THE CONE SHRINES BECAME A MAJOR COMPONENT WITHIN THE THEOCRACY AND THE LITURGY SYSTEM PRACTICES OF THE GA-ADANGBES AND THEIR DESCENDANTS.  

HOWEVER, PRACTICES OF “THE LA-ASAFO” PEOPLE, ONE OF THE SUB-NATIONS OF THE GA-ADAGBE NATION “HOMOWO” ATONEMENT FESTIVAL IS BEST KNOWN, AS THE FESTIVAL’S ROLE MODEL. NOT SURPRISINGLY, THE LA-ASAFO PEOPLE WHO MIGRATED TO THE PRESENT GHANA FROM ‘ILE-IFE’ OF THE YORUBA NATION, DEMONSTRATED ONE OF THE REASONS WHY ‘ILE-IFE’ BECAME THE CRADLE OF THE YORUBA NATION SOME TIME AGO. IN ESSENCE, THE GA-ADAGBES BELIEVED THAT THE LA-ASAFO PEOPLE BEING MORE IN TUNE WITH THEIR ANCIENT NUBII (NUBIANS) SPIRITUALISM, ARE VERY PRECISE AND VERY ANCIENT IN THEIR HOMOWO ATONEMENT FESTIVAL WHICH THEY HAD BEEN PRACTICING SINCE THEIR NILE RIVER MIGRATION THROUGH “ILE-IFE” TO THE PRESENT GHANA AMONG THEIR NEWLY CREATED OF THE “GA-ADAGBE” NATION. 

THE IGNORANT, INNOCENT, BELIEVER OR NON-BELIEVER GA-ADAGBE IS SPIRITUALLY MANDATED TO THE FESTIVALS KNOWINGLY OR UNKNOWINGLY, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SPIRITUAL MATRIMONY OF THE GA-ADAGBES AND THEIR SACRED DIVINITIES AND FESTIVALS ARE BURIED IN THEIR NAMES. THESE NAMES ARE SPIRITUALLY CODED TO THEIR ANCIENT ANCESTORS WHOM THEY ARE NAMED AFTER AS THEIR RESURRECTION. THE GA-ADAGBE NAMES ALSO PLAY AN ACTIVE ROLE WITHIN THEIR THEOCRACY AND LITURGY SYSTEM, WHICH INVOLVE NAME COMMUNICATIONS SPIRITUALLY. ON ISSUES ABOUT THEIR SPIRITUALISM, AMONG SOME OF THE GA-ADABGES, DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE TO THE MINDS OF THOSE WHO HARBORED FEAR, COUPLED WITH PREJUDGMENTS OF THEIR OWN ANCESTORS, MAINLY DUE TO OTHER BELIEF PRACTICES AND INFLUENCES.  

THERE HAS BEEN SPECULATION ABOUT THE GA-ADAGBE’S HOMOWO ATONEMENT FESTIVAL AMONG THE NON-CULTURED GA-ADAGBES WITH LESS SELF ESTEEM, THAT THE HOMOWO FESTIVAL CAME ABOUT DUE TO FAMINE. ONE CANNOT IMAGINE A FAMINE THAT OCCURRED ONLY TO THE GA-ADAGBE TERRITORIES WITHOUT AFFECTING THEIR RELATIVE FANTES ON THE WEST, THE AKROPONGS ON THE NORTH AND THE EWES ON THE EAST. THESE RELATIVE SUB-NATIONS OF THE GA-ADAGBES DO NOT CELEBRATE THE HOMOWO FESTIVAL, YET, THEY SHARE DIRECT BORDERS WITH THE GA-ADAGBES, (AND THE FAMINE DID NOT AFFECT THEM?!!….). THE HOMOWO FESTIVAL AS ALWAYS SPOKEN OF, BY THE PREVIOUS AND THE PRESENT ELDERS OF THE GA-ADAGBES, IS A HOLY NEW YEAR AND A HOLY HARVESTING OF ATONEMENT. THIS FESTIVAL HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE LAKE NYAZA’S AUTHENTIC CALENDAR CHRONOLOGY, (THE GA-ADAGBE CALENDAR). THIS FESTIVAL WAS NEVER SPOKEN OF AS A TRAGEDY AND DID NOT HAPPEN ACCIDENTALLY BY MEANS OF FAMINE. THE “HOMOWO” ATONEMENT FESTIVAL IS AN OLD LEGACY PRIOR TO THEIR SETTLEMENT IN THE PRESENT GHANA.

BEFORE 12,000 BC, THE ANCIENT NUBIANS VIEWED THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE AS A SPIRITUAL UNIVERSE, WHICH IS ACCOMPANIED WITH SPIRITUAL MATERIAL SYMBOLS. FROM THAT RESPECT, THEY STUDIED THE ASPECTS OF LIFE AND WERE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH NATURE AND THROUGH NATURE SPIRITUALLY WITH MATERIAL SYMBOLS. WHEN THEIR SPIRITUAL RESPECT WITH NATURE WAS ESTABLISHED, THEY INTRODUCED TO THEMSELVES DOCTRINES OF HOLY LAWS; THE 42- DECLARATIONS OF INNOCENCE, THE SANCTIFICATION CEREMONY (THE SO-CALLED OUTDOORING CEREMONY) AND MANY OTHER LAWS OF HOLY DOCTRINE PRACTICES. THEY SET THESE HOLY LAWS FOR THEMSELVES AS PART OF PRACTICING THE EXISTENCE OF LIFE.  THESE 42 – DECLARATIONS OF INNOCENCE WAS SET UP WITH 42- DISTRICT DIVINITY KING JUDGES, REPRESENTING THEIR DISTRICTS AS HOLY SPIRITUAL PRACTIONERS. HOWEVER, THEY HAD ONE COMMON GOAL, WHICH WAS MONOTHEISM PRACTICES THROUGH THE SPIRIT SOUL “SA”, WHICH BECAME A STOOL NAME TO THE GA-ADAGBES, AND IT IS ADDRESSED BY MANY ADJECTIVES, SUCH AS “ASA”, “OSA”, “ASAFO” AND “ASAFOATSE”. THIS NAME WAS KNOWN BY THE GREEKS THEN AS “OSIRIS”. 

BEFORE THE DOCTRINE OF THE LAWS WAS ESTABLISHED, THE NUBII (NUBIANS) WITH THEIR HIGH SPIRITUAL OBSERVATION OF THE UNIVERSE AND ITS NATURE, CREATED A UNIQUE CHRONOLOGICAL FORMAT OF A SPIRITUAL FESTIVAL OF ATONEMENT, DUE TO THE CHRONICLED CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LAKE NYAZA’S NILE RIVERS. AS A LEGACY FOR THE GA-ADAGBES, ONE OF MANY GENERATIONS OF THE ANCIENT NUBIANS “NUBII”,  THEIR SPIRITUAL FESTIVAL PRACTICES OF THEIR HOMOWO ATONEMENT FESTIVAL ORIGINATED FROM THE NORTH EAST NUBIA, SPECIFICALLY FROM THE NATIONS OF THE NAIYE (NILE) RIVERS TERRITORY. A PORTION OF THEM INCLUDE OTHER (NUBII) NUBIAN NATIONS SETTLED IN “SUMA” LATER KNOWN AS (SUMERIA). THEY WERE ALSO KNOWN AS PART OF THE “IBADA” (UBAIDAN) PEOPLE.

THE NAME “SUMA”WAS GIVEN TO THE RIVER TIGRIS BY THE (UBAIDANS) AS THE SPIRITUAL NAME FOR THE RIVER, DUE TO THE RIVERS (EUPHRATES & TIGRIS) TWIN REPRESENTATION OF TWO NATURES JOINED TO ONE HEAD BEFORE ENTERING INTO THE SEA. THE NAME "SUMA" WAS DERIVED FROM THE ANCIENT DIVINITY “SU” or “SHU”.  THE NATION “SUMA” OR “SUMERIA” WAS NAMED AFTER THE PART TWIN OF “TEFNU”. THE DIVINITY NAME “SUMA” HAS BEEN SENSITIVE AND PLAYS A VITAL CEREMONIAL ROLE IN THE TWIN CEREMONY RITUAL WHICH THE GA-ADAGBES HAVE KEPT ALIVE UP TILL NOW. 

THE GA-ADAGBE VERSION OF THE SPIRITUAL SONG FOR TWIN CHILDREN WHICH IS TO BE SUNG IN THE NAME OF THEIR DIVINITY “SUMA”, IS AS FOLLOWS:

AKWELE SUMA, YEE YEYEE YEYEE!

AKUORKO SUMA, YEE YEYEE YEYEE!

TAWIA APIA-ADZEI, YEE YEYEE YEYEE!

NYANKUMA AGO, YEE YEYEE YEYEE!

ABAN KOFI, YEE YEYEE YEYEE YEYE!

MITAO AME AAHU MINAA AME.

MINA AAME AAHU MIKWOTSO.

MI KWO TSO AAHU MI KPLEKESHI.

MI KPLEKESHI AKWELE.

MI KPLEKESHI AKUORKO.

AWOAWOO   AWOO      AWOO   AWOAWO.

YEE  YEYEE   YEE   YEYE. 

GA-ADAGBE MANDATORY NAMES FOR TWINS AND THOSE BORN AFTER TWINS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

A.    FIRST BORN MALE TWIN’S NAME = “AKWETEY”, “OKO”, “OTE”, “LAWEH” AND  “ATE”. (THE ORIGINAL MASTER NAME IS “TETTEY”). 

B.    SECOND BORN MALE TWIN’S NAME = “AKUERTEH”, “ATER”.  (THE ORIGINAL MASTER NAME IS “TETTEH”).

C.    FIRST BORN FEMALE TWIN’S NAME = AKWELE

D.    SECOND BORN FEMALE TWIN’S NAME = AKUORKO

E.    THE NAME FOR A FIRST CHILD BORN AFTER TWINS IS FOR BOTH FEMALE OR MALE = TAWIAH APIA-ADZEI

F.     THE NAME FOR A SECOND CHILD BORN AFTER TWINS IS FOR BOTH FEMALE OR MALE = NYANKUMA AGO

G.   THE NAME FOR A THIRD CHILD BORN AFTER TWINS IS FOR BOTH FEMALE OR MALE = ABAN KOFI

BEFORE 1931 TO 1932, THE POPULARLY KNOWN NILE RIVER WAS NOT TAMED BY MODERN IRRIGATION PROJECTS. THE NILE RIVERS WERE ONCE A MAJOR TRADING ROUTE AMONG THE “NUBIANS” (AFRICANS), ASIA MINOR (THE EUROPEANS), THE CHINESE AND ANY OTHER NATION THAT HAD ACCESS TO THE MEDITERRENEAN SEA. THE NILE RIVERS THEN WERE ON A CHRONICLED CYCLE. THE GA-ADAGBES AND THEIR ANCIENT RELATIVE NATIONS ALONG THE NILE TERRITORIES BELIEVED THAT, “NAI” WAS/IS AN ANCIENT DIVINITY NAMED AFTER THE RIVERS WHICH RUN FROM MOTHER NATURE’S WOMB KNOWN AS LAKE NYANZA. AMONG THE ARTERIES OF THE LAKE NYANZA, THE RIVERS WHICH RUN THROUGH NORTH EAST NUBIA’S MANY NATIONS INTO THE MEDITERRENEAN SEA WERE HONORED WITH THE DIVINITY NAME “NAI”, NOW PHONETICALLY CALLED “NILE”.

THE RIVERS WHICH RUN FROM LAKE NYAZA (MOTHER NATURE’S WOMB) THROUGH HER ARTERIES, MYSTERIOUSLY REPEAT THEIR CYCLE YEARLY BY RISING UP TO APPROX. 27 TO 30 FEET, SPECIFICALLY, IN THE MONTH ‘GBO” OF THE GA-ADAGBES, WHICH IS OF THE LATEST GREGORIAN CALENDAR BETWEEN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER. MANY OF THE RIVERS ALSO RISE BUT LOWER THAN THE LARGER RIVERS. THE RISING CAUSE THE RIVERS TO EXPAND TO THE NEARBY DRY LANDS ON THE OUTSKIRTS, FROM THOUSANDS OF FEET TO APPROXIMATELY MILES IN WIDTH. THE OUTSKIRTS EXPANSIONS OF THE RIVERS FLOOD CREATE FERTILE SOIL BETWEEN THE MONTHS OF NOVEMBER TO FEBRUARY AFTER THE RIVERS HAVE RECEDED. THE NOVEMBER / FEBRUARY FERTILE SOIL BECOMES THE MOMENT FOR CROP PLANTING, WHICH BLOOMED AND WAS HARVESTED BETWEEN MARCH AND JUNE.

 THE NAMES AND PERIOD OF EACH MONTH OF THE ANCIENT-NUBIANS/ GA-ADANGBE CALENDAR

 THIS FESTIVAL HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE AUTHENTIC CALENDAR CHRONOLOGYOF THE LAKE NYANSA’S RIVER NILES, WHICH ARE IN MATRIMONY WITH THE GA-ADAGBE’S CALENDAR. THE “HOMOWO” ATONEMENT FESTIVAL STARTED WITH THE ANCIENT NUBII ‘NUBIANS’ FOR THREE-FOLD REASONS; (1) HOLY HARVESTING AND ATONEMENT WITH ‘NYUMO’, THEIR ANCESTORS AND THEIR ANCIENT DIVINITIES, COUPLED WITH THE WEDDING ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF THE DIVINITY "NAI-EYE" (THE NILE RIVERS) AND THE DIVINITY "AFI-EYE" (THE FERTILITY OF PRODUCTIVITY). (2) AS A HOLY NEW YEAR AND A HOLY NEW DAY BEGINNING. (3) PART OF CALENDAR CHRONOLOGY.

TO THE GA-ADAGBES THE SYNONYM OF THE DIVINITY ‘NAI’ (NILE) IS ALSO THE DIVINITY ‘AFI’, WHO IS A FEMALE DIVINITY HONORED TO THEIR NEW YEAR. IT IS SAID BY THE GA-ADAGBES; “AFI’ AYA NI EBA NINA WO”; LITERALLY MEANING; THE DIVINITY “AFI” WHO REPRESENTS ‘YEAR’ IS TO COME BACK AND MEET US ALIVE. HER DIVINITY STOOL IS BEING REPRESENTED BY THE WIFE OF THE LA-KPA –WULOMO WHO IS THE ORACLE OF THE HOLY TESTIMONIAL DOCTRINE KNOWN AS “KPA”, NOW PHONETICALLY KNOWN AS “KHEPERA” BY THE GREEK AND THE LATIN.

‘AFI’ IS HONORED AND ALWAYS HAILED BY THE GA-ADAGBES AS “AFI-EYIE”.  THE ADJECTIVE "EYIE" MEANS ALIVE, PRESENT, GOOD etc. ‘AFI’ (AFI-EYIE) AND ‘NAI’ (NAI-EYIE) DIVINITIES ARE BEING RESURRECTED EVERY YEAR THROUGH THE (HOMOWO) ATONEMENT FESTIVAL. THOUGH ALL OF THE SUB-NATIONS OF THE GA-ADAGBES CELEBRATE THEIR  “HOMOWO” ATONEMENT FESTIVAL AT DIFFERENT PERIODS, ALL OF THE CELEBRATIONS MUST FALL WITHIN THE GA-ADANGBE’S ANCIENT AUTHENTIC CALENDAR MONTH ”GBO”, AUGUST 23^RD TO SEPTEMBER-22^ND.  HOWEVER, THE GA-ADAGBE CALENDAR MONTH “GBO” SOMETIMES STARTS EARLY, FROM MID JULY TO MID SEPTEMBER. THIS NUBIAN ANCIENT GA-ADANGBE MONTH CALENDAR “GBO” IS THE ZODIAC CALENDAR MONTH’S “VIRGO”. (THE ZODIAC CALENDAR IS A MIRROR IMAGE OF THE GA-ADANGBE /NUBIAN CALENDAR). 

SINCE THE ENERGY OF THE RIVERS CONSTANTLY WAS IN A CHRONICLED CYCLE, THE ANCIENT NUBII (NUBIANS) MARKED THE RIVERS HIGHEST PERIOD MONTH KNOWN TO THE GA-ADAGBES AS “GBO”. “GBO” LITERALLY MEANS; “DIED” OR “DEAD” IN THE GA-ADAGBE LANGUAGE. HOWEVER, “GBO” LINGUISTICALLY MEANS “ARISEN”, A BEGINNING OF ANOTHER LIFE. “GBO” IN THE YORUBA LANGUAGE MEANS; GROW OLD, LINGUISTICALLY: EVERLASTING LIFE. "GBO"  PHILOSOPHICALLY; “IT IS A SPIRITUAL WORD WHICH REPRESENTS THE RESURRECTION OF BOTH THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PHYSICAL WORLD”. THE GA-ADAGBES AS A LEGACY FROM THEIR ANCESTORS USED "GBO" DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE RIVER “NAI’S” ( NILE ) CHRONICLE RISING; AS “THE END AND THE BEGINNING PERIOD ”.

THE DIVINITY MOTHER NATURE ‘NYANSA’ (THE LAKE NYANSA) CAUSED HER DIVINITY ‘NAIYE’ RIVERS (NILE) TO RISE AND TRAVEL THROUGH HER ARTERIES THROUGH WHICH THE RIVERS IMPREGNATED THE LAND TO PRODUCTION, WHEREBY SOIL FERTILIZATION WAS ESTABLISHED AND THE SPIRITUAL MATRIMONIAL PERIOD FOR THE ‘NAIYE’ DIVINITY (THE RIVERS SPIRIT) AND THE FERTILITY-LAND SPIRIT ‘AFI’ ALSO KNOWN TO THE GA-ADAGBES AS ‘AFI-EYIE’ WAS SUCCESSFULLY ESTABLISHED.  THIS PRICELESS MATRIMONIAL DOCTRINE IS ONE OF THE MAJOR CONTRIBUTIONS WITHIN THE GA-ADAGBE’S “HOMOWO ATONEMENT FESTIVAL”. THE PRACTICES SECTION IS KNOWN AS: “LA-KPA EKPEE YOO”, WHICH LITERALLY MEANS THE “LA-KPA HAS WEDDED THE DIVINITY WOMAN ‘AFI’ (AFI-EYIE). THIS WEDDING CEREMONY HAS A YEARLY CYCLE, REPRESENTING AND SYMBOLIZING THE LEGACY OF THE DIVINITY ‘NAI-EYIE’ (THE NILE RIVERS) ARISING AND IMPREGNATING THE FERTILITY OF PRODUCTIVITY, THE DIVINITY ‘AFI’ (AFI-EYIE).

ABOVE: NAA-AFIEYIE ON THE FLOOR DANCING THE KPA DANCE.

THE INDIVIDUAL GA-ADAGBE DEMONSTRATES A SYMBOL OF PASSION DURING THE “HOMOWO” FESTIVAL KNOWN AS “SHAKAMO”, WHEREBY A MALE AND A FEMALE WILL GENTLY AND RESPECTFULLY HUG EACH OTHER WITH SPIRITUAL PASSION INTENT PORTRAYING THE IMPREGNATION ACT UPON THE WOMAN. THIS SYMBOLIZES THEIR PARTICIPATION IN WITNESSING THE RIVER “NAI” DIVINITY IMPREGNANTING THE GROUND DIVINITY “AFI” TO A FERTILITY OF PRODUCTION.   

PHONETICALLY TO THE GREEK ‘AFI’ BECAME ‘HAPI’. COULD ‘HAPI’ BE TO THE GREGORIAN CALENDAR’S (HAPPY) AS ‘HAPI’ NEW YEAR OF THE 1^ST JANUARY WHICH IS TRADITIONALLY OUT OF CONTEXT?

SINCE SOME OF THE GA-ADAGBES DISPERSION FROM THE UBAIDAN NATION (THE ‘SUMA’ SUMERIA REGION) AND FROM THE NORTH EAST NUBIA (NOW NORTH EAST AFRICA), THROUGH THE YORUBA NATION’S SUBNATIONS OF IBADAN AND ILE-IFE, THEY SETTLED PERIODICALLY ONE AFTER THE OTHER EACH WITH THEIR DIVINITY STOOLS IN THIER POSSESSION. HOWEVER, THOSE DIVINITY THRONE-STOOLS REPRESENT ALL OF THE GA-ADAGBE NATION IN GENERAL. THE DIVINITY “NAI-EYE” WAS IN THE PROTECTION AND IN THE POSSESSION OF THE GA-MASHIE ASAFO AS ONE OF THEIR STOOLS. THE GA-MASHIE NAME HAS NOW BEEN ILLUSION AND OVERSHADOWED BY A MEANINGLESS NAME ‘ACCRA’ AS THE CAPITAL CITY OF GHANA. 

THE DIVINITY “AFI” (AFI-EYIE) WAS PROTECTED, IN POSSESSION AND A MEMBER OF THE “LA-ASAFO” (LA): SUB-NATION OF THE GA-ADAGBE NATION. THE LA-ASAFO PEOPLE, JUST LIKE THEIR ANCIENT ANCESTORS NUBII (NUBIANS), HAVE MASTERED IN ANCIENT ROYAL SPIRITUAL DOCTRINE MORE THAN ROYAL KINGSHIP, THOUGH THERE ARE DIVINITY KINGS AND DIVINITY QUEENS AMONG THEM. SINCE THE DIVINITY ‘NAIYE STOOL’ IS IN THE POSSESSION OF THE GA-MASHIE PEOPLE WHO ARE ONE OF THE SUB-NATIONS OF THE GA-ADAGBES, THE ‘LA-KPA’ WULOMO OF THE LA-ASAFO PEOPLE ALSO PERFORMS THE “LA-KPA EKPEE YOO CEREMONY”, DURING THE LA-ASAFO PEOPLE'S HOMOWO ATONEMENT FESTIVAL.    

THE SPIRITUAL ROOT REPRESENTATION OF THE GA-ADANGBES LA-ASAFO. GHANA

THE LA-ASAFO PEOPLE’S “LA-KPA WULOMO”, HONORABLY ALSO KNOWN AS “TETTEY LA-KPA”, IS THE “ORACLE” WHO REPRESENTS THE “KPA” HOLY TESTIMONY. TO THE GA-ADAGBES, “KPA” IS THE HOLY TESTIMONY OF ‘NUMO or “NYUMO”. 

BY MY RESEARCH, THE ORIGINAL NUBIAN NAME OF THE GREEK WORD "HIEROGLYPHIC" IS "KPA" WHICH MEANS "DIVINE TESTIMONY" OR  "TESTIMONIAL DIVINE TRANSCRIPTS". THE WORD "KPA" CAN BE FOUND IN THE SO-CALLED WEST AFRICAN TERRITORIES, SPECIFICALLY THE GA-ADAGBES OF THE PRESENT GHANA. THE GA-ADAGBES HAVE LONG KNOWN AND ASSOCIATED WITH THE "KPA" WRITINGS AND READING OF THE SO-CALLED HIEROGLYPHIC. THEY HAVE WRITTEN THE "KPA" WRITINGS ON SOME OF THEIR FISHING CANOES. ONE CAN SPEAK WHAT HE OR SHE WRITES AND READS, AS THEY DID ON THEIR FISHING CANOES. THE GA-ADAGBES NAMED THE OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE "KPA-MO MOMO", AND THE "NEW TESTAMENT""KPA-MO HEE".  THEY ALSO NAMED THE MYSTERIOUS "ARC OF THE COVENANT"; "KPA-MO ADEKA", LITERALLY MEANING "TESTIMONIAL BOX". THE HOLY WORD "KPA" EXISTED BEFORE FOREIGNERS INTRODUCED ANY RELIGIOUS PRACTICES TO THE GA-ADAGBES AND TO THEIR SISTER NATIONS. THE WORD “KPA” HAS ALWAYS MEANT “HOLY TESTIMONY”, “HOLY TESTAMENT” AND “HOLY PRAYERS” AS “ KPA SOLEMO” WHICH IS CONDUCTED BY THE (KPA-ORACLE)= “KPA-WULOMO” FROM THE “KPA DOCTRINE” OF THE GA-ADAGBES. THE GA-ADAGBES SING “KPA” SONGS AND DANCE “KPA” DANCING; A YEARLY PUBLIC ACCUMULATION OF CONFIRMATIONS, IS EXPRESSED IN SONG AND DANCING FORM, OF GOOD AND BAD OCCURRENCES WITHIN THAT PAST YEAR.

THE SETTLEMENTS OF THE GA-ADAGBE SUB-NATIONS IN THE PRESENT GHANA WERE SUCCESSFUL REGROUPINGS WHICH STRENGTHENED THEM SPIRITUALLY.
