Kenkey most likely is called Dorkunu by the Akans as a corruption of the words"Dor wu kunu"-to wit, love your husband. It is imaginable that when the Akans came to live among the Ga, it was incomprehensible to the Apem and Kontombire and Fufu and Palmnut Soup loving Akan that the Ga ladies could be serving their husbands Kenkey (probably even bought and not home-cooked), instead of a rich home cooked Apem or Fufu. So, they may have been teasing the Ga women "Erye aa, dor wu kunu". This shortened to "Dorkunu" as time went on and the origin went lost in the sand of time.

There are lots of fementated corn dough food around the world ,one i Japan is called Kenkey,the whitemen who visited those regions tasted them,and when they come to Ghana ,they tasted Otinshi(Komi) which is similar to the kenkey they tasted in Japan,so they simply refer to komi as kenkey in Japan

that's because the Dagmes still speak the original form of Ga. Ga thats spoken today in Accra is a diluted form. remember. it is being influenced by Twi, Portugues, Dutch, and English of course

It is obvious that this person doesn't even realise that there is a difference between saturated and non-saturated fats.

Ada, and Krobo speak the oldest form of Ga. Ga those of us from Accra proper have been influenced by so many different outsiders it has made the language evolve. However, our Krobo and and Ada brothers have retain most of who they are because they had very little contacts with ousiders. As this article say Otim is the original word for komi but the word asnt really gone away. the Ada and the Krobo still call it otim

Ghanawe should rethink it's editorial policy. Their content editor (if there is) often sleeps on the job. The description of picture 2 in this story says komi is often eaten with "shit". Whether this is a typo or not is not acceptable because the subject matter concerns people's way of life. No one eats "shit" in Ghana. The editor should have dropped this story immediately or take steps to correct it immediately.
