A male Thursday born of the Ashanti Tribe, an indigenous ethnic group of people occupying the central belt of the West African nation of Ghana, is automatically called Yaw (or Yao), and such is the background of Yeboah Kordie.

A noble scholar himself, Yeboah’s father made sure his children were well educated. In addition to being a professional soccer player, Yeboah attained a marketing and sales degree and was hired as a Senior Marketing Manager for a German pharmaceutical company. Having worked for this company for 10 years, he migrated to the United States in 1981. Believing his life depended on it, Yeboah had to leave his home, his family and his country under urgent circumstances, thinking he would never return.

After 17 years in America, living through tremendous hardships and virtually alone, an enchanting lady by the name of Sheila Newton walked into his office seeking his legal expertise. He found her captivating, gorgeous, scintillating, confident and superbly intellectual. When they concluded their professional business, he decided to pursue her; however, she rejected him. He could not believe it! No woman had ever rejected him in such a manner. The chase was on! Eight long years later, in 2006, Sheila Newton and Yeboah Kordie were married.

A few weeks before their wedding, Yeboah received a call from the Ashanti Historian in Kumasi, Ghana, and learned that he was the next in line to ascend to the throne of the Ntaheras, his birthright through his mother’s lineage. Upon verification that he would be able to travel back and forth from the U.S. to Ghana, he accepted. The Ntaheras were delighted that he is an educated man, well traveled and could do much for his subjects. One year later, Yeboah Kordie and his bride returned to West Africa for the coronation to become King and Queen of the Ntaheras, a Tribe of the Ashanti Ethnicity in Ghana.

Yeboah Kordie became Nana Yeboah Kordie, I, and his wife became Nana Akua Afriyiye (meaning Wednesday born and showing up at the right time); respectively called Ntahera Kyidomhene and Ntahera Kyidomhemaa. As part of his royal duties, Nana Kordie, I, plans to create jobs for the locals by bringing sources of renewable energy, a railway system, and cement for future economic growth and development. He is currently working to import sugar and other necessary edible commodities to Ghana.
