39 Old Ghanaian Woman BUILDS A HOTEL IN THE HEART OF THE CITY - AMAZING!

[@emmaafriyie5170]

Those telling her to change the name of the hotel, please cut the crap. When you open your business, then you call it an African name. Since you did not contribute a dime to this business, you have not earned the right to tell her what to do. To each his own. Let her success inspire you to create your own and then you name it what ever you want.

I'm American and I agree that the hotel name should be Ghanaian rather than European. But the hotel should still be supported because it is Ghanaian owned and operated. The hotel can be rebranded under a new name at a future date. Do not focus only on one minor negative and disregard the major accomplishment.

Embrace your local name, the Arab, Chinese, etc use their local names and alphabet, use yours for business, protect it, and the business lives forever.
