He said “on the off chance that we permit ourselves as a country to give names the manner in which we need since us have the youngster and we will need to name the kid the manner in which we need, there will come a period that we will have superb names in Ghana. So it is only a control measure to ensure that there are directing element on us residents to coordinate how our naming ought to go.”

At the point when we are being encouraged to acknowledge neighborhood names and use them, the vault is somewhat keeping us from utilizing them.”
