Ghanaian Businesses: Blessed by a Higher Authority
One of the first things that struck me as I've driven back and forth to BusyInternet in central Accra is the number of local businesses that have religious names. The businesses themselves generally seem to have nothing to do with religion, which makes for some interesting combinations, like these:
Surf and Ye Shall Find Cyber Cafe
Wrath of God Hair Cuttery
God is King Dental Services, Ltd.
With God All Things Are Possible Electronics
God First Communications Centre
Thy Will Be Done Aquariums, Ltd.
Fighting Temptations Internet Cafe
The Finger of God & Holy Spirit Manufactured Goods
The Living Gospel Internet Center and Car Wash
So it seems that local business must answer to a Higher authority as well as to the bottom line.... -andy
