The Origin Abele Wall’s
Many of my subscribers have asked of the origin of the name Abélé Wall’s !!! And as a Ga, my thoughts was like.. what has Abèlé got to do with icecream!!! So I did my little research and thanks to my uncle Ago Sowah ( aka Daddy )
This takes us into the Post Colonial Years of Ghana the then Gold Coast. The British company "Unilever"
introduced the frozen dessert called the Wall's Icecream to the people of Ghana.The Company was located in the Greater Accra Region densely populated by the Ga people.
The venders rode on bicycles and tricycles from house to house where the gás symbolized anything with good taste as Abélé (corn i.e sweet corn) so any time they tasted the sweetness of the Wall's icecream they recited "eñgoor, tamor Abélé " meaning sweet as sweet corn... b3 ole Swititintins Abélé Abélé.
Interestingly, in the 60's and 70's hit Ga highlife music would pause at intervals of the instrumentals just to say Abélé, Abélé Sokoo.... Abélé, just to tell thier listeners how swiftly the music is penetrating their cores in the same fashion they described how sweet the ice cream was and before long, the venders now went around hitting thier knives to the side of thier coolers and shouting Abélé Wall's Abélé Wall's.
The local people started making it at home using cups and chewing sticks because they couldn't find popsicle sticks, calling it Abélé Walls.
So Abélé is the Ga word for Corn and Wall's was borrowed from the British Company that introduced the Wall's icecream coining the name Abélé Wall's and for a lifetime the young, old, rich and poor have enjoyed the frozen dessert Abélé Wall's.
