In present day Germany, many individuals are hesitant to name a youngster Hitler. This is practically similar to an unwritten regulation and not many individuals are called by that name in Germany. This is a result of the staggering job he played in his time in office and during the Second World War. He requested his military to hack down Jewish and Black individuals and to eradicate them from the outer layer of the earth. After the German loss in the Second World War many individuals who bore the name “Hitler” transformed them. From that point forward just a handful of individuals are named Hitler. “Adolf” is a German Christian name yet it turned out to be less well known after the conflict despite the fact that, at the level of his power, numerous in the nation named their youngsters to pay tribute to the Fuhrer.
Similarly the name Osama Bin Laden is not well known in that frame of mind because of his terrorist initiative against the Western world.
In 2003, the Birth and Death registration division in Germany wouldn’t register a Syrian child whose guardians named him after Osama Bin Laden. The explanation for the reluctance to utilize these names is that nobody needs to recall the mischievousness, unfeeling killings, outlandish annihilation of Jews and Osama’s merciless terrorist activities which finished in the September ninth assaults in the USA.
What is happening in Ghana concerning names we embrace or reject is not equivalent to the models given previously. In Ghana, it is generally accepted that specific names, by their definitions, carry with them curses and dangerous notifications that may not augur well for those who bear such names. However, it is not wholly true that all those who bear such names, may experience the curse that is connected with the names. It is additionally worth focusing on that no name is prohibited in Ghana.
I took up a discussion concerning curses and issues connected with specific names, with an old man in Ghana when I took some time off the year before.
The older man took as much time as necessary to clear up for me that there is no curse in the names essentially except for in many families when a youngster is given names like Berko, Bosompem, Abebrese, Bonsam and so on, the terrible and damaging spirits witches and wizards capitalize on the implications of the names to shape the kid’s fate and to bring sadness, difficulty and obliteration on the kid at the extremely early stage till the kid arrives at adulthood. He further made sense of that not all the Akan names can be brought under curse.
In a legendary tune by PSK Ampadu, who was delegated King of Highlife during the last part of the 60s and later conveyed the title, Nana Kwame Ampadu I, he portrayed the disastrous impact of how one of such names welcomed untold difficulty on the bearer. The individual in the tune was called Yaw Berko. Berko implies an individual who came into this world to battle it out or battle throughout everyday life. In the melody Nana Ampadu makes sense of how hard the impact of his name has had on him. He has been hit hard by serious areas of strength for the uncompromising arms of life. Destitute at forty, he attempted to secure position in practically all the districts of Ghana without any result. Yaw Berko’s predetermination all year every year was a miserable one.
One of such names that Satan normally goes after is Abebrese. The name Abebrese denotes enduring and the experience he will go through may not be unique in relation to one called Berko. Kwame Abebrese was a handsome, benevolent and splendid young fellow. He was generally on top of his group. During his second year at the Senior High school, he joined a gathering of young men to a club one Saturday. Little did he had any idea about that these young men were small smokers. Abebrese saved the small sack for the young men, obscure to him that it contained packs of maryjane. The young men offered them to revelers in the club. A concerned individual gave a clue to the police. When the young men saw the police they surged out of the club. Abebrese stayed there not realizing what was going on. The police officers went directly to Abebrese and looked through the pack. Surprisingly, the police counted 72 bits of weed conveniently wrapped and pressed in rolls. He was whisked off by the police.
He was to serve four years in a Kumasi prison. Just a year to finish High school has been ended unexpectedly. The difficulties which characterize his name had quite recently started! His dissatisfaction in the messy, thin room was complete. As months cruised by, he experienced a total volte-face in his attitude and character. He became dependent on drugs.
It is vital that names are selected cautiously for our youngsters. Names that are probably going to welcome curses on our youngsters ought to be kept away from. Now and again the issue may not be in the name itself however the award. On the off chance that you are called Afoakwa your honor is ‘sikani’, which is great.
