shop names

I've been collecting entertaining names of shops and businesses from around the Accra and Kumasi areas. More than half of Ghana's population identifies as Christian, and the ubiquitous references to the scripture reflect the nation's unique variety of Christianity. (Not your typical WASPy version at all. Think crazy dancing and getting slain in the spirit and pot.) There are however a couple non-religious names I recorded.

In God I Trust Barber and Communication Centre
