Society in Ghana
Newspaper ad, 1969. This is an interesting photo—notice the gender dominance, and the fact that these students are very well dressed (clean ironed uniforms) but have no shoes. Goes to show you the state of the country in ‘69. I am sure most of the students you see in this photo went on to become prominent members of the govt. and society.

Newspaper ad, 1969. Pepsodent is the toothpaste of choice in Ghana, partly because it’s been around for a long time. It’s so popular, Ghanaians are used to calling any toothpaste brand “Pesodent”. So, instead of toothpaste we say Pepsodent.

Signage in Ghana
“Omo” is the brand, powdered soap is the product. Don’t say that to Ghanaians because Omo is so popular that, for us, all powdered soap is Omo regardless of the brand. Love it!
An Ad for Ghana Airways
Ghana Airways is the safest airlines! Ghanaians will opt out of flying the most luxurious airline if they can fly Ghana Airways; because we know no matter what happens in the air, our pilots will safely bring us home. Sully Sullenberger, who? (1969)
