Festival Highlight
The Homowo Festival, meaning “hooting at hunger”, is a time of thanksgiving, unity, and joy. This year, the Asere Traditional Council extends the celebration to our diaspora community, sharing drumming, dancing, and the sprinkling of kpokpoi with friends and family in the United States.

About Asere Homowo In New Jersey
In 2026, the Asere Traditional Council extends this heritage to the diaspora community by celebrating Homowo in New Jersey, USA. This initiative, led by the Asere Homowo Diaspora, brings together Ga families, friends, and well-wishers abroad to share in the rituals, music, dance, and communal feasting that define Homowo.
ASERE NIKOI OLAI FAMILY
The Nikoi Olai family was part of nomadic race whose original abode was somewhere in the present-day Middle East between the Tigris River and the Euphrates rivers. As a result of persecution due to religious and cultural practices these hared people migrated through present day Israel, the Sanai and settled around Goshen in upper Egypt. Their leader was a man called Nikoi Olai.
Asere Traditional Council
The Ga State, encompassing the coastal and immediate hinterland territories of the Greater Accra Region in Ghana, represents one of the most culturally resilient, economically strategic, and politically complex traditional jurisdictions in West Africa.
