Of the 10 statements about Ghana below, five are true and five are false. Drop your answers into the comments section below the blog in the format: 1F; 2F; 3T; 4T etc…
There is a prize for the winner, so don’t hold back:
- Ghanaian fishermen are nocturnal for their entire adult lives.
- Ghanaian women shave their heads regularly, but would not be seen outside the house without wearing a wig.
- In Takoradi, our closest town, there are 2000 registered gays.
- Ghanaian children must be able to do integer multiplication before being accepted into primary school.
- In Ghana the feet and wings of a chicken are considered the best eating. Brown leg meat is not thought fit for human consumption and goes into making pet food.
- “Obruni wowu” is the name Ghanaians give to second hand Western clothing sold in their markets. It translates as “Dead white-man's clothes” because they cannot understand why we would throw away perfectly good garments.
- Our local fishing ‘village’ of Elmina is home to over a thousand fishing vessels.
- In Ghana monkeys are often seen riding on the back of goats. Scientists have never understood why but the local taxi drivers find it hilarious.
- A significant proportion of retail buildings in Ghana are painted in garish colours and heavily branded to advertise mobile phone networks
- Due to the path it takes around the Earth, Ghanaians have never seen the moon.

I have no idea. Are they trick questions? I do hope 3, 4, 8 and 10 are true though. Britain would definitely be a better place (and I would be a much happier teacher) if they adopted number 4!!
ReplyDeleteGreat hearing your news. Please no more pictures of dying cows, it almost put me off my fillet beef wellington!! Almost...

A bit of guess work and the advantage of being able to see everyone else's answers:
