– Ghanaian lawmakers collapse with laughter over funny village names

Nobody could keep a straight face in Ghana’s parliament meeting when MP John Frimpong Osei began listing the names of some villages in his constituency that included references to human genitals.

Names in the Twi language like “Vagina is Wise” and “Penis is a Fool” left lawmakers in fits of giggles.

The MP was asking when these areas would get access to electricity.

“Providing them with electricity may interfere with nocturnal activities,” joked Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko.

The minister added, in earnest, that a survey would be conducted into how the villages in Abirem constituency in Eastern Region could be connected to the national grid.

These are the English translations for the Twi names:

Etwe nim Nyansa – “Vagina is Wise”
Kote ye Aboa – “Penis is a Fool”
Shua ye Morbor – “Testicles are Sad”.
Many Ghanaians had not heard of the villages until they were listed in parliament – and they have been left wondering about the origins of the names and are this places located in Ghana

The BBC’s Thomas Naadi in the capital, Accra, says such names are normally given by the first settlers in those communities and are drawn from the life experiences of those individuals.

Almost 80% of Ghana’s population has access to electricity, which is almost double the average rate across Africa and the highest in West Africa, according to the World Bank’s latest report in 2016

The Ibibio seem to have gift for naming villages and towns similarly. I guess it is universal as the meanings of some renowned towns and cities in the world may leave one in fits of laughter!

A parliament where they actually discuss the needs of their people.

When will you guys get the fact that population and landmass size has nothing to do with development?. Whiles better countries are using their large population to their advantage,you’re here using population as an excuse for failure. If population really matters then China should’ve been the most underdeveloped country on earth . What is the population and landmass of the likes of Togo,Benin, and Gambia in west Africa? They don’t come near Ghana in terms of landmass size and population yet they are nowhere near Ghana in terms of development. Accept the fact nigeria is a failed state and stop using population and landmass size as an excuse.
