Ras Kuuku kicks against use of Christian names by Ghanaians

Ghanaian reggae and dancehall artiste, Kojo Korankye, popularly known in the showbiz as Ras Kuuku has slammed parents for calling their children with Christian names.

He is livid at how Ghanaians and Africans are blindfolded to use Christian names instead of traditional names.

He believes that Africans are gradually losing their identity through the use of these Christian names.

The 2020 Vodafone Ghana Music Award Reggae Dancehall Artiste speaking on Onua Showbiz on Saturday, November 18, strongly opposed the use of Christian names by Africans.

“I fret over the use of these Christian names in Ghana, and I wonder why parents would name their children after people they have absolutely no knowledge about.

“Perhaps these parents do this out of ignorance and might not really understand the implication it has on our culture as black people,” he said.

He described the situation as madness and ludicrous, as he had to go through a lot before officially removing Jonas from his name.

He said he detests being called Jonas by old friends, as he entreated parents not to allow themselves to be misled by doctrines that only seek to Christianize them and their generations.
