Picture of soldiers at the parade grounds
The rich cultural heritage of Ghana was displayed as the country commemorated its 68th Independence Day to signify the country’s freedom from its colonial masters.
President John Dramani Mahama, Vice President Prof Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, and several diplomatic corps are in the country to observe the celebrations.
Amid the jubilant atmosphere, one captivating element that captured everyone’s attention was the Adinkra symbols displayed by personnel of the Ghana Armed Forces during their parade match.
Below is a breakdown of the symbols depicted by the men in uniform.
Woforo Dua Pa (When you climb a good tree):
The first Adinkra symbol displayed by the Ghana Armed Forces Military Band was the “Woforo Dua Pa.”
Metaphorically, it means that when a person works towards a good cause, the person will get support.
Dwennimmen (Ram’s horns):
This symbol signifies strength and how to balance power with humility.
It is a reminder that inner strength and character are more important than physical power.
Nyame Dua (Tree if God):
The Nyame Dua adinkra depicts God’s protection and presence.
The symbol has a cross-section of a palm tree, representing God’s presence and protection. It also symbologies the Tree of Life, and purification.
After the display of the Adinkra symbols, the Ghana Armed Forces climaxed the ceremony with an array design of 68 to indicate that Ghana is 68 years old after attaining its independence.
