This is the sworn, unyielding testimony of a seventh-generation royal descendant fighting to preserve a sacred inheritance—a vast tract of ancestral land gifted by the legendary King Osei Tutu I. The memoir, The Last Guardian of Ashanti, unveils a decades-long war that goes far beyond a simple property dispute. It is a spiritual and legal battle over a founding covenant and the very soul of a nation.
What happens when the most revered institutions become a source of peril? The narrative exposes an alleged institutional betrayal where a respected public office and the highest spiritual authority were strategically leveraged to plunder a family’s sacred birthright. You’ll discover the chilling truth behind the forced execution of an ancient, hidden royal decree and the prophetic price paid by those who dared to uphold it.
Nana Kwesi Osei Bonsu is the embodiment of a destiny foretold. He stands as the Seventh Generation, the living link to King Osei Tutu, founder of the Ashanti Empire. His life is not merely a biography—it is a quest for spiritual reconciliation, a sacred duty to reclaim a heritage woven into his very being.
His path began amidst the unique complexity of a polygamous household, where he was raised as one of 14 children. Rooted in Accra, Ghana, his family commanded a powerful entrepreneurial and spiritual legacy. He was steeped in prosperity, inheriting the name of the revered Insaaniyya Herbal Center, whose “Mercy Cream Ointment” became a household legend and a financial bedrock, built upon community trust and healing. Educated in his family’s own schools, he was prepared for a clear future within the discipline of a devout Islam Ahmadiyya home.
But the ancestral lineage demanded a sovereign choice. Nana made the most difficult decision of his life: to renounce the Islam Ahmadiyya faith and confront his spiritual life with the uncompromising mandate of his culture. This single act of truth cost him his immediate family’s acceptance, a devastating sacrifice that irrevocably sealed his identity as the true Guardian.
The crucible of his journey is where his resolve was hardened. The familial rift quickly metastasized into outright persecution by traditional authorities and traitors within his maternal family unit—the very “bad apples” who sought to dismantle the heritage.
This betrayal forced his path into exile, a period of profound solitude. His spirit was further tested while confined in a U.S. detention cell, where the cold silence and the weight of his ancestors’ covenant was his only companion. These severe trials only deepened his commitment, forging him into the definitive protector of the 1,298.33 acres of sacred ancestral land consecrated by the founder himself.
His memoir, The Last Guardian of Ashanti, is not just a book; it is the definitive, calm declaration earned in these moments. It is a vow that the pursuit of truth will shatter the walls of betrayal and injustice.
Nana leads today from a position of peace, convinced that the ultimate guardianship is restoration. He is the essential architect of tomorrow, destined to lead his maternal family to their promise land and ensure their rich heritage endures in harmony, binding all generations together
