The Ghana Tro-tro Diaries features the Inscriptions on Ghana Tro-tro buses which can be seen almost everywhere in Ghana especially in the capital city of Accra. One could easily come across these vehicles with inscriptions boldly written on them as soon they touch down Ghana and many often wonder what the concept behind it is. In our blog posts, we delve into the diverse aspects and the idea behind the inscriptions on these commercial buses.

RELIGIOUS INSCRIPTIONS ON TROTRO
In Ghana, almost all local public transport popularly known as “TroTro” have inscriptions written on them which are sometimes based on religion, proverbs, inspirational quotes, among others.
TroTro is patronized as a daily means of transportation by more than 80%of the people living in the two most populous cities in Ghana, Accra and Kumasi but little do they have an idea on the inscriptions stated on those various buses.
Focusing on some quotes based on the religion aspect, some drivers highlighted that it serves as a guide to their daily success which encourages them to work harder since they have been guided by the heavens.
They also made a quote that “Heaven helps those who help themselves” which simply means, when you put in much effort in your working activities, the heavens will aid you to excel.
Like the quote “YES MY LORD” which means all hope and trust has been relied on the Lord who will serve as an assistant in times of difficulties.
Also the quote “LET GLORIFY THE LORD” simply means the Lord above the heavens should be thanked and appreciated for he has blessed his people with wisdom and blessings.
Funny enough, although there are such Godly inscriptions stated, most conductors still quarrel with their passengers whenever they fail to pay the actual money demanded for. GOD BLESS THE COUNTRY!!
