Ghanaians on social media, particularly on Facebook, had a belly laugh after noticing that a deceased Ghanaian woman had Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria, Andreas Iniesta and Serena Williams as her grandchildren.
It appears that the deceased, Florence Asabea Asante, had a son, Abdul Rahman Ametefio, who named his three sons after football superstars Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, and Angel Di Maria while naming his daughter after tennis legend Serena Williams.
The children are identified as Lionel Messi Amarteifio, Andres Iniesta Amarteifio, Angel Di Maria Amarteifio, and Serena Williams Amarteifio.
These eyebrow-raising yet amusing names were spotted on Asabea’s funeral poster, listed under the “Grandchildren” section in a post shared by Facebook user Abdul Rashid Zakari.
Many users in the comments section found the names hilarious, with some jokingly referring to the family as a “family of sports.”
