Outdooring of Yeboah Agyeman-Badu

Overwhelming Support For Afua and Osei as they Outdoor their first child.

Chicago, June 6 2009...Members of the Ghanaian Community here massively
came to show their support for Mr. and Mrs. Osei Agyeman-Badu when they
outdoored their son, Solomon Yeboah Agyeman-Badu, at the 83rd and Ellis
Community Center. The crowd was a convergence of the older and younger generations
of Ghanaians in Chicago. D.J Bonsu comprehended the generational mix by
playing the most popular music lyrics from “old to new school”.

The Officiating Ministers of the function were Reverend Canon Robert
Koomson, of the Church of The Ghanaian Community, Reverend Asabre Agyeman-Badu
( he is the father of Osei Agyeman-Badu),Reverend Dr. Kofi Noonoo, Head of
The Ghanaian Congregation of Churches in Chicago,and Dr. Gabriel
Amoaten-Boahen. The Emcee for the occasion was Nana Marfo , member of Asanteman
Association.


Both Afua and Osei were former Executive members of the Ghana National
Council (GNC). Afua is popularly known for her unrivalled work with the youth
in the community when she was the Youth Secretary of the GNC, and her royal
and beautiful Adowa dance moves at functions such as Ghanafest and Ghana's
Independence Anniversary Celebrations. The Asanteman Association recognized
Afua's exceptional personal achievements and work with the GNC and their
group by giving her an award.

Solomon was Baptized the following day by Reverend Canon Robert Koomson at
The Church of The Ghanaian Community of Chicago.
