Otumfuo Osei Agyeman Prempeh II

This picture was taken not too long after the enstoolment of Nana. Daasebre is seen here in partial regalia, with the Sebekesee or adaboo' ( triangular gold chestplate ), and wearing a headband with triangular amulets, which depicts that in a matrilineal society such as Asante, Nana rules on behalf of the Queen of Asante. Nana is seated on the Nyansapo ( Wisdom knot ) stool, a stool of his own design, indicating his intent to rule Asante with tact and wisdom. This, he lived up to. In the background is the Kodeedwa ( a chair with gold symbols of an eagle ) which is retained as a back support in this picture.Seen on Nana's right handside is the dwete kuduo, which functions as a kind of personal purse, traditionally.

Osekyerehene, Okyerefoo' Otuo Serebour II, Daasebre, the latest in the long line of illustrous occupants of the Yiadom and Hwedie Akonnwa Kesee ( Great Stool ) of Juaben ( Dwaben ). Amongst the titles which Nana Juabenhene has the right to use, having been earned by virtue fo brave deeds in battles past, are Obarima, Okoforobuo, Okyerefuo ( used here ), Daasebre, Osekyerehene ( an indicator of the claim of the Juaben people, that he is the most powerful King in the Sekyere area of Asante ), Okotwa asuo and Katakyie. ( There may well be others ).

Nana is the Oyoko piesie of Asante, that is the first born of the Oyoko Abohyen clan. He is also the traditional head of all the Oyoko royals of Asante, hence his other title as Oyokohene of Asante. Nana Mamponhene is the head of the Bretuo clan and its piesie as well.

Nana is seen here, seated at an Adaekesee festival in Kumasi in 2004.
