The Nyame Nti Adinkra symbol is visually represented by a stalk of wheat which represents food in the most raw form. Something we would only turn to eat when there is nothing else to put on the table as stalks of wheat are usually used to feed animals.
The complete proverb this symbol is derived from is “Nyame Nti minnwe wura” which translates into “By God’s grace, I will not eat leaves to survive”, a declaration there will be no lack or scarcity in your home. This symbol is a declaration of God’s providence in one’s life, a testament of the faith the Akan people have in God.
Nyame Nti is the first pendant necklace made by Ohema by Eba. It was important for Johanna that the first symbol showcased by the brand would be one representing her faith in God’s providence on her life.
