Jesus sells? A collection of tro slogans and shop names from Ghana

---

I love to read trotro slogans and shop names here in Ghana, lots are religious, lots are funny, some are confusing and some make you think but they definitely make travelling around more interesting!

Anyway, so it may be a bit geeky but I thought I'd compile a list of some of the best one's I've seen so far and add a few photos of the ones I've managed to capture (you need to be a bit careful just taking random photos in the street - I've been shouted at a few times! And also don't carry my camera everywhere!)

Ghanian tro tro slogans.
Great blog post. Thank you. I googled "African tro tro slogans" and found this. Don't know why it crossed my mind now, but I used to live in Ghana in the late 90's and my favorite was a tro tro called "There is no Hurry in Life". So funny for a bus that was always late. And a shop in my village called "Time is Money Cafe" It was just a roadside booth that sold peanuts and the dude was always sleeping. Good memories.
