GOODWILL MESSAGE TO ALL WELL-MEANING PEOPLE, TRADITIONAL OFFICE HOLDERS, AND STAFF OF ALL TRADITIONAL COUNCILS IN THE GA STATE
OMANYE! OMANYE!! OMANYE!!!
Greetings to all sons and daughters of the Ga State.
Let us come together to thank the Almighty God, our forebears, and the ancestors for their protection over all traditional office holders in the Ga State. Since the commencement of the ban on drumming and noise-making up to today, all houses and clans required to perform their rites have done so successfully.
Notice of the Odadao Rites
On Thursday, 4th June 2026, the Ga State will observe the _Odadao_ rites at the forecourt of the Paramount Chief of the Gbese Traditional Area.
All Paramount Chiefs are expected to attend and grace this significant ceremony, except the Ga Mantse, who will observe the rites from in front of his Paramount Stool House at Abola, Ga Mashie.
While the Ga Mantse observes the rites, the Gbese Mantse will dance to the _Obonu_ tunes from the forecourt of the Gbese Mantse Palace to the forecourt of the Ga Mantse’s Stool House, three times, as a symbol of unity as we usher in the new year on the Ga calendar.
We invite all traditional office holders, institutions, government bodies, and all well-meaning people of the Ga State and Ghana to come and witness this meaningful occasion.
We also appeal to all youth of Ga Mashie to remain calm and patient throughout the program so that we can all have a peaceful and successful celebration this year.
COME ONE, COME ALL
COME WITH YOUR FAMILIES
LET US TURN OUT IN OUR NUMBERS TO CELEBRATE THIS YEAR’S ODADAO FESTIVAL
THANK YOU ALL
