Oguamanhene sings ADISCO's Anthem at NSMQ finale

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that the Oguamanhene, Osabarima Kwesi Atta II, proudly praised Adisadel College during the NSMQ 2025 final, even though the school did not make it to the finals.

The Omanhene, who is a proud Santaclausian (the nickname for Adisadel alumni), sang the anthem of his alma mater.

He delighted the audience as he held the school’s logo on a scroll and sang the Adisadel anthem before the three finalists.

Netizens shared varied thoughts, with several Santaclausians applauding the Oguamanhene for his courage, while others thought he sang the anthem at the wrong place.

Most people, however, saw it as refreshing, with many agreeing the gesture was timely for such a high-pressure stage in the competition.
