"Sorrows Of An Eagle "

Episode 6

At last, thepeople of Nyakrom could boast of a successor.

During his naming ceremony, all the people of Nyakrom forfeited their work just to grace the occasion.
They were all happy since it would be a chance to see the handsome prince for the first time.
The Royals dressed in their nice regalia and stepped out in style.
They were led by the cultural troupe who were made up of four young ladies and two men. They danced to the tune of "adowa".  The elders and kinsmen were not left out in this celebration.
After few minutes of joyful moments, the prince was finally brought in by the royal baby sitter.

He was all dressed with golden ornaments and jewels. They looked heavy around his neck, wrists, knees and ankles.
His colorful kente sparkled as the sun rays displayed their skill. He was a baby to behold.
They all rose and stood on their feet as the prince was brought in. A befitting standing ovation.
They sang praises and shouted glorious words to the new born.
It was as if the young prince understood their words, he smiled to every statement they made.
They all sat down when the young prince was presented to the queen mother, Nana Srekubea Sekyi.

Prayers were said to thank God for the gift given to them.
It was now time for the main purpose of the program. It began to drizzle. Showers of blessings. God had blessed them and was always doing it.
The baby was named "Nyamekye Adepa" and dedicated to God.
Different gifts were presented to him, ranging from money to material things from all villages, far and near.
They thanked them and brought the ceremony to an end.

It's twenty years already since Nyamekye Adepa was brought into the world.
As the Bible said in Proverbs 22:7-8," train up a child in the way he should grow and when he is old,he will not depart from it".Nana Aduhene Sekyi did all he could to bring his son up in a Christian way.
He wanted his son to love God and know him better. He didn't want to spare the rod on his child. He tried his best to teach him the ways of God.

In as much as Nana Aduhene tried to teach his child the ways of God, the wife didn't like the idea of beating him up when he went wrong.
He was a prince and he needed to know everything. He would coil in his shell if he's always beaten.
