With God All Things are Possible Beauty Salon

One of the things I love about Africa in general (but particularly Ghana) is looking at various shop names. The people are very religious and affiliate many shops with religious titles. For example: "God is Great Furniture Works," "Redeemer Tyres," "Jesus Saves Hair Salon," and "God is With Us Chop Shop." I love this because it shows the religious conviction of the people. While America is busy taking God out of the pledge, people in Ghana are recognizing him in their businesses.

My personal favorite was: "The Downfall of Man is Not the End of His Life Enterprise." 12 words. It was a bike repair shop.

Some of the names are not religious, but just kind of funny, like this one:

In case you can't read it, it's "Don't Mine Your Wife Chop Bar."

Another good one was the "Bar Be Que" shop.

Taxis and trotros are also filled with religious sayings. Some of them, again, are not as religious. For example, I was walking down the street and saw some men pushing a trotro that had broken down. The writing in the back windshield? "Never Give Up." Very appropriate.
