Akai-Nettey, both of the Anglican Church, was a celebration of the life of the late Madam Armah aka Oma (a German word for granny). Madam Armah, who was a retired educationist, passed away on 29th August 2024, at the age of 95. She was survived by six children, 21 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren.

Apostle Dr Antwi in his tribute to his late mother-in-law eulogised her for her kind-heartedness. He said: 'It's a good feeling to have an elderly person you can trust. Such was Oma to me. Oma accepted me as one of her own even though I was an outsider. She was kind-hearted, accepted and appreciated me and extended (the) same to all our children.' 'I can say Oma believed in me. She made me feel that I wouldn't fail in life. She trusted my leadership, allowing me to manage my home without interference for over four decades. 'My Mum was about a month younger than Oma. She's been gone these 12 years. It's now time to say 'Adieu!' to Oma. I believe you two will meet up there and compare notes. Rest in peace Oma and may the good Lord reward you abundantly for all the sacrifices you made! I believe He will!'
