At the age of 1 year 152 days, little Ace-Liam Nana Sam Ankrah from Ghana is the world’s youngest male artist! 🇬🇭
His mum Chantelle, also an artist, discovered Ace-Liam’s passion for painting when he was just 6 months old! 👨🎨
“While learning to crawl, I spread out a piece of unstretched canvas on the floor and dropped some paint on it as a way to keep him busy while I worked on a commission painting,” she explained! 🎨🖼️🖌️
Since then, Ace-Liam has attracted significant attention from national and international media, as well as from the First Lady of the Republic of Ghana! 🇬🇭

A Tour of Asantehene’s Rolls-Royce Phantom – A Timeless Symbol of Asante Heritage.
•This particular model of Rolls-Royce, was sold only to buyers whom the manufacturer held in high esteem and deemed worthy of honour. These included the British monarchy and some heads of state.
•Steeped in history and adorned with symbolism, this Rolls-Royce serves as a tangible link to the past, connecting three successive Asantehenes – Otumfuo Sir Osei Agyemang Prempeh II, Otumfuo Opoku Ware II and the incumbent Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
•As Otumfuo Osei Tutu II marks 25 years of occupying the Golden Stool, the unscathed existence of this Rolls-Royce, serves as a poignant reminder of the responsibilities that come with leadership.
•Beyond the trappings of power, there lies a solemn duty to safeguard the heritage entrusted to his care. In the painstaking preservation of this venerable vehicle, the Asantehene reaffirms his commitment to upholding the values and traditions that have sustained the Asante kingdom for centuries.
•The maintenance narrative surrounding the Rolls-Royce is a reflection of the Asantehene’s meticulous attention to detail and total reverence for tradition.
•In a rapidly changing world, where traditions often yield to modernity, the sight of the Asantehene's procession, with the iconic vehicle at its helm, is a reminder of the kingdom's enduring spirit and the ease with which our traditional systems blend with the realities of 21st-century technology and trends. It is evidence of the strength of cultural identity and the importance of honouring the legacies of those who came before.
•Once again, in display of sobriety, Otumfuo gracefully rode in this car on Sunday, 12th May, 2024 to serve his forebears at the Akwasidae-kese durbar that climaxed the 25th anniversary of his enstoolment as the 16th occupant of the Golden Stool.
•He journeyed the next day to the royal mausoleum at Breman a day earlier in the car, embodying a deep sense of respect for his forefathers. The spiritual underpinnings cannot be overemphasized - the spirits of two of his predecessors live in this car.
LONG LIVE THE KING 👑
Piawwwwwwwwwww!!!

Lady Julia narrates how she met the King of Asantehene her husband
"I met Otumfuo 22 years ago when I was in charge of legal affairs at Ecobank. Ecobank was inaugurating a branch in Kumasi and Otumfuo was in attendance. I was asked by my managing director to give a vote of thanks. After I spoke, and after the event, Otumfuo waited and made sure he found out who I was and how to get in touch with me before leaving the event grounds.
Later that evening I was summoned by my managing director to a dinner at Otumfuo's residence. Little did I know I was auditioning for a role of a lifetime" - Lady Julia, Otumfuo's wife at Otumfuo's 74th Birthday dinner.
