Ace Ghanaian broadcaster and astute Master of Ceremonies, KKD has asked Africans to emancipate themselves from mental in all facets, beginning with shunning names the slave master gave them when they first stepped feet on Africa soil.
KKD says bearing English/European names shows we are still under slavery and that’s the juncture the emancipation should start from. He made this known in a recent interview with Zylofon FM.
Are our names so evil? Are they so bad that because you want to go to church, somebody has to change your name? I don’t understand it. So, I insisted on using Kwasi Kyei Darwkah to make a statement that the first name is not English, the middle name is not English and the last names certainly not English.
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds. Think of your ancestors who were whipped on the back and forced to accept another man’s names. Why then in freedom do I still want to fall into that trap and call myself by another man’s name.
Whatever they do elsewhere, we can do same here but we don’t have to be like them because we are we and they are they,” he said while singing Bob Marley’s song, ‘Redemption Song.’
