Ayi Kushi was a king of the Gadangme, the first known Gã Mantse of recorded History.

The Great Nicolai Ashaley, the leader of the great migration, was both a spiritual and political leader of the Gã people, and he led the Gãs to their homelands and unified the various Gã state through the giving of "His Seven Commandments".

His Excellency Yahu Blackwell has already begun working with HRM on several projects in the Osu territory, beginning with the launch of a brand-new science lab.

Meanwhile, Yahu Blackwell will reportedly make his official return to the ring at the end of June in a Cruiserweight highly anticipated match at Santa Domingo in the Dominican Republic against Columbian fighter Roberto Gonzales.

The scheduled 8-round bout will be for the WBC and WBA regional titles.
