West Africans are very spiritual. I’ve posted photos of religious quotes on the backs of taxis. Ghanaian commerce also shows a strong Christian theme.
The names given to businesses frequently have a religious aspect to them, even though the business name itself is otherwise vague about what it sells or does.
Some shop owners believe that by having a religious name, they will avoid the evil eye and be more successful.
An article in AllAfricaNews quoted a woman as saying she prefers to shop at a business with a religious name.
Another collection of shop signs with religious names is posted on Eat My Words.
