UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, received a loud applause Monday when he quoted a popular Akan proverb to drive home his point that the UK remains the choice of trade for Africa.
Addressing African heads of states at the UK-Africa Summit 2020, the Prime Minister sought to woo African leaders for post-Brexit trade with Africa.
According to him, Britain should be the "investment partner of choice" for Africa.
Quoting the popular Akan saying: ‘Nsa teaa nyinaa Ô‘nyÔ‘ pÔ‘’ to wit ‘all fingers are not the same’, the UK Prime Minister said: “The UK boasts a breadth and depth of expertise that simply cannot be matched by any other nation.”
“In the words of an old Akan proverb that I picked up in Ghana, ‘all fingers are not the same’. There’s wisdom in these Akan proverbs; all fingers are not the same and all countries are not the same,” he stated to the admiration of the gathered.
