Here, after a<br /> symbolic display of resistance by the royal bodyguard, the Gushie-Na seized<br /> three pieces of straw from the palace roof and handed one to the successful candidate.<br /> <br /> Then the Gushie-Na left Yendi, custom forbidding him to spend the night in the town after indicating the identity of the new king.<br /> <br /> Subsequently, the new Ya-Na was led to the house of an elder, Zohe-Na, where he was formally kept as a ‘prisoner’ for a week, during which period Kuga-Na ruled the state. After another few days’ staying with Mbadugu (the king’s linguist), the Ya-Na was taken to the court where Muslim prayers were said and homage was paid by other chiefs and by commoners, the king sitting on the lion skin of a Ya-Na.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Source: Ghana/Starrfmonline.com/103.5FM/Eliasu Tanko<br /> <div> <br /></div>

He was named after his Great grandfather, Yaa-Naa Yakubu I (1824–1849).<br /> <br /> He was his father's eldest son and the only child of his mother. He attended Yendi primary and middle schools and taught as a pupil teacher for several years.
