How is she Ghanaian? You mean the name? She's Malawian and that's it. Reading her profile I don't see where she's Ghanaian.

When I saw the name, I concluded that husband would be an Akan, possibly a Fante or Akyem or Akwapem or possibly an Asante, Kwahu or Bono. I very much believe the husband is an Asante, Akyem or Kwahu.
I arrived at these ethnic groups because they like traveling a lot, especially the Asante people. Some places that many people avoid but you are very likely to meet an Asante include Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Alaska, North Pole, South Pole, Jupiter, and even Pluto. Anyway, congratulations to her. She has done what Napoleon could not do. My warning is she should ignore Nigerians who would use her to immigrate there and introduce their Cybercrimes. That is why Uncle Sam is sending all of them away. Even South Africa sent Nigerians away. TWEAA, Zoogerians are extremely dangerous.

Asante are everywhere cos of their numbers. Others are everywhere as well. You don't expect a tribe with 10 percent the Asante population to have many scattered like the Asante

Hmmm Ghanaman go enter every hole. There is this UK Actress called Fremah Agyemang who played supporting role David Tennant for the 10th series of DR WHO Franchise. Her mom is Iranian. Though her parents met in UK. Currently the goalkeeper of Parma of Serie A and the Japanese National goalkeeper called Zion Suzuki. His dad is Ghanaman. They also met in US. I won't be surprised very soon we will see kids whose mom's are Afghans but dad's are Ghanamen. Lol.

Always quick to claim people. Did you bother reading the article?

Anyway, given the president's age, it won't be long before she's president, then you can claim there's a "Ghanaian president" in Malawi.

• There's a car rental company at Kamuzu Banda international Airport, Lilongwe, Malawi called Nana..., but it has nothing to do with a Ghanaian heritage. A mere combination of two different names.

• There's a street in Pretoria, South Africa named Nana. Again, it has nothing to do with Ghanaisn identity.

Go back and read the whole report and you would get answers to you questions I have been telling people on this platform for so many years. If you cannot bother to read the whole report, don't bother making a comment, because if you do in most cases you come out as a moron. I have read a lot of comments that clearly show they didn't bother reading the report before their comments and that has exposed them as jerks.
The report clearly states the woman in a Malawian but married to Ghanaian for over 40 years yet we have some people asking silly questions.

General Mosquito is the most formed person to lead NDC than anyone for 2028. His legacies are undisputable. NDC fraternity must reward him with unopposed contest with overwhelming endorsement. NPP naysayers are creating confusing with whatsoever they think. When NDC was going through reformation after Konadu mills cantata, no one except General was the monumental figure who stood firm and balance between all spheres. He put his life on the line to provide NDC this juicy political power. He is a learned Banker, Economics, Socialist Democrat. Yes he looks lenien but very firm and fair in all his dealing. We need Johnson Aseidu Nketiah in 2028 else the whole 2024 works may be Wood work. #JAN2028. Follow Akatamansonians on Twitter.
