On Friday, the chiefs and residents of Ehi town carried out an Ancestral Walk to pay tribute to their ancestors whose sacrifices contributed to the establishment of a harmonious and unified community. The event was part of the Nutome Gali Za celebrations and included Torgbui Dzeble Adukpo IV, the Chief of Ehi, Queen Mothers, influential figures, assembly members, youth, and elderly individuals who walked through the main streets of the town.
Participants recited prayers for their ancestors and sought blessings for a prosperous and fruitful celebration.
Madam Emma Alevi, the organizer of the ancestral walk, revealed that she introduced the activity as previous celebrations had centered on the present without adequately acknowledging the individuals who laid the groundwork for the community. She believed the walk aimed to honor and appreciate the contributions and sacrifices of past leaders and residents by sharing their stories and histories, as well as offering prayers for their ongoing blessings.
Alevi emphasized that the initiative would motivate the younger generation to persevere, remain focused, and contribute to Ehi's development and growth.
Historian Mr. Victor Ameamu, who provided the town's historical background, including how the land was acquired and the origin of the town's name, praised the initiative. He believed the ancestral walk would make the forebears proud by demonstrating that their sacrifices and contributions had not been forgotten. Several youths approached the GNA to express their appreciation for the initiative and said it had encouraged them to contribute more to Ehi's development so that future generations could also remember their contributions.
The walk proceeded through the town's streets, with prayers offered after recounting the history of selected families and individuals who had played a role in the town's development. Hundreds of residents took part in the activity, which aimed to strengthen the bond between past, present, and future generations of Ehi.
