8 amusing Ghanaian town names you should know

Akukofoto is a suburb of Dansoman. The name quite literally translates as Chicken Photo.

The story goes the name originated from a large billboard advertising a poultry farm.

The billboard apparently featured a photo of a chicken. And just like that, residents started referring to the area as Akukofoto and the name has stuck ever since.

Also in the Abirem constituency is a town called ‘Kote ye Aboa’ which means the penis is a fool.

The background of the town has been narrated that a madman is always not able to find a wife or a woman to have sex with or give birth and because of his mental condition, no woman [vagina] would be readily willing to accept him.

But a mad woman [vagina] can find a man [penis] to have sex with and even gets pregnant since a man [penis[ careless about the mental state of the woman.

This was a testimony that gave birth to the name of the town called ‘Kote ye Aboa’ – ‘Penis is a fool’.
