Nana Asuo Gyebi is an Akan river deity ( obosum) who is a healer and protector of the Nana Akonnedi Shrine in Kubease, Larteh, in Ghana, West Africa. His shrine was brought to America by the late Nana Okomfohene Akua Oparebea, who was the chief priestess of the Nana Akonnedi Shrine for over 65 years. Nana Asuo Gyebi's priesthood flourished in the United States under the leadership of the late Okomfohene Nana Yao Opare Dinizulu I, and other priests who were trained by both leaders.

Nana Asuo Gyebi is compassionate, patient, and just. He helps people solve problems, and find their true path in life.
