She is called Afua Asantewaa Adunoum, having a name resemblance to Yaa Asantewaa, the only woman who led Asante men to fight and defeat the British.
The Queen mother of Ejisu was very determined to make history. She denounced any pessimism from any person and today, she is remembered for that feat.
Also, today, the world and Ghana have produced a replica of Yaa Assntewaa of our time. Treble A
She planned, prepared, and implemented her desire to make history. She promised to break a record set by an Indian, Asian who sang for more than 105 hours.Afua has done,126 hours surpassing the world record holder.
As I write this piece, our compatriot, sister, daughter, aunt, and mother as broken the record and ended the sing a thon competition.
She has been singing for the past five days without sleeping.Wow!
The rules include 5 minutes of rest after an hour of singing or 20 minutes of rest after 4 hours of singing.No solid food,only liquids.
Our Ghanaian and African sister stood her ground and she has made it.
She has made herself, family, Ghana and Africa proud.
This is what determination, commitment, dedication, readiness, and well-intentioned thought can produce.
My dear reader, as I always state in my articles, do not allow the naysayers and dream killers to destroy or kill your legitimate and productive plans or dreams.
They don’t have your dreams and visions as endowed to you by your Creator but are ready to kill them or destroy them. Don’t allow them.
Be focused on your visions and emulate the best examples like Akua Asantewaa who has become an international icon.
Never give up. Go for the gold. With God and your determination, commitment, and dedication, you will get to the apogee of your life.
Assntewaa identified her strengths in singing and today, she is a star.
My dear reader, identify the hidden and gifted talents in you and enforce them and that will be the beginning of your success and that of others. Denounce the negatives and the ‘killers’
Surround yourself with good and positive people.
Ignore the wicked, liars and pessimists even if they are blood relations.
Akua was lucky to have a solid team including her family to give her the support.
Well done, Akua Asantewaa for your efforts and success.
God bless you
Also thank you for placing our nation on the map of the world from a different angle.
Thanks for creating a local economy for our mothers, sisters, and brothers who established mini-markets at the venue to sell or do business and creating temporary employment for all.
Determination is a key that unlocks every potential in everyone.
Therefore, be determined and enforce it.
