The leading conversation among Ghanaians, especially on social media, is the debate over changing welcome greetings in languages other than Ga in public spaces across the national capital, Accra.
The discussion started following reports that the welcome signage at Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park had been changed from other local languages to the Ga language.
Viral videos confirm that the Akan greeting "Akwaaba" and the Ewe greeting "Woezor" on the park's signage have been replaced with the Ga greeting "Oobake", a move the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) has distanced itself from.
More videos show the "Akwaaba" greeting at Kotoka International Airport (KIA) also being changed to "Oobake." The move has divided public opinion.
