Broadcaster Kwesi Kyei Darkwah has disclosed that he insisted on dropping his English names King George when he made his debut on radio as a statement towards encouraging Ghanaians to emancipate themselves from mental slavery.
Darkwah known in showbiz circles as KKD said as the youngest Ghanaian radio presenter at the time (aged 19), he wanted the Ghanaian youth to feel pride in the African name.
KKD told Blakk Rasta last Friday in an interview on Zylophone FM that, at the time all the presenters at the state-owned Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) had English first names.
He said he was puzzled as to why Ghanaians would change their names just because they wanted to be Christians.
