Abomosu
Abomosu is a town located in the eastern region of Ghana.It is dominated by the Akim clan which is part of the Akan tribe which covers 70% of the total population of Ghana. The residents are mainly farmers located along the Birim river. According to history, the people were living in the northern part of Ghana. They had a Queen who's name was "Pomaa" and there was great drought in the northern part so she decided to migrate with her people to where they could find water and fertile soil. So she sent a hunter named "Abomo". He took an expedition to the south where he discovered a stream. he He then went back to the Queen and gave her his report so the people migrated to where the hunter discovered the water. Upon arriving there, they named the stream after the hunter ("Abomo" "nsu"). "Nsu" means water in the Akim language so the name Abomosu means Abomo's water (the hunter Abomo's water). The people of Abomosu practice matrilineal linage of ancestry...........
