I told this guy Asante to change the name to Ghana Youth Soccer Academy , that one will attract more people but he did not listen. Now ghana is divided because of this tribal issues. If you want to see any bright future in this your business better generalize . to gain more publicity than this Asante academy. You can take it or leave it.

Nana Esi,

I personally do not think that, the name of the academy makes it tribalistic. the guy has just chosen to name the cademy after himself...he is called Richard Asante.

The academy's name would have been different if he were for example called Richard Tsatsu. In that case the name would be Tsatsu Soccer Academy. Would you then say it sounds tribalistic?

At any rate, isn't it common practice to use one's family name to register business? Benz, Ford, Toyota, Darko Farms, Poku Transport, Rogers Telecommunications....are they all not company's named after their owners?

And if he names it as Ghana Youth Soccer Academy, wouldn't it change from "tribalistic" to "nationalistic" and preclude children of non-Ghanaian pedigree? Can he successfully run the academy with kids from only the Ghanaian community?

It is you rather, who are tribalistic. Just because you heard the word "Asante", you immediately thought about the Asante tribe without considering the fact that the owner's name is Asante and he used that to register the business as a matter of common practice!!

Please think twice before you comment next time.

Thanks.

Need I say more in addition to what u have said?? No.
Maame Esi is not well, for that much we all know by way her of her tribalistic-oriented piece above.
It could have been Maame Esi Academy, right? Who the heck cares???

Ashantis can not have tribalistic zealouts dictate to them.Go to Kumasi and you will find Lumnava bar,Anloga town Fanti new town Zaabu Zongo,etc. At Obuasi there is a big sign board for MAWULI auto shop.Ashantis have not objected to it.Yes this goes to show their capitalistic instinct that earned them English(colonial masters) respect.After all,they were right when they decided to separate with (MATE ME HO)slogan from these COMMIS.Jealousy can never make you equal to Ashantis,Fools!

ASANTE might not be from even ASHANTI REGION. FYI, most people named ASANTE are from Eastern Region rather than ASHANTI.

Let's commend the guy and stop this stupidity of tribalism.

Clubs such as Woodbridge SC, USC Academy, Vaughan SC and SC Toronto are established organizations that strive to improve the quality of soccer programs. why would he even name the academy after himself? i like what he is doing, and I WISH HIM MUCH SUCCESS. INFACT, IM SURE I CAN HELP HIM IN SOME SORT OF WAY WITH MY PHOTOGRAPHY AND FILM BUSINESS, BUT HE SHOULDNT HAVE NAMED THE BUSINESS AFTER HIMSELF. HE SHOULD HAVE CHOSEN A NEUTRAL NAME. THIS IS PURELY FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES. IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN AND THE COMPANY GETS SUED, HIS NAME IS ALL OVER IT.

ANYWAY, IF HE IS READING THIS. I CAN BE OF SOME ASSISTANCE SHOULD HE NEED IT. I CAN BE REACHED AT TUXMAN06@YAHOO.CA. BLESS.
