Guinness mais popular em África que na Irlanda!
Na sua visita por África, Bono descobriu que a Guinness é mais popular e...sabe melhor em África do que na Irlanda:
«Ghana’s stock exchange is the newest and one of the fastest-growing in Africa, having quadrupled the number of listed companies in just a few years to 29. So when Bono landed in the capital Accra on the last stop of his visit, he headed for the trading floor to see what it’s like — with NBC anchorman Brian Williams who had just joined the tour.
By the time he got there, most of the trading had stopped for the day — it runs until noon every day — but he managed to catch a few of the traders and the exchange’s bosses. The trading floor is a small room with a few desks and a ricker board. Among the biggest foreign companies listed is South Africa’s mining group AngloGold and a Gambian Bank.
When Bono heard GGB stood for Guinness Ghana, he exclaimed: “As an Irish man I want you to know it is a little confusing that Guinness is more popular in Africa than in Ireland.”
When the Kofi Yamoah, the exchage’s managing director, said that Guinness was not only popular but tasted better in Africa, Bono replied, “Oh you’re hurtful! A mortal wound!” (Picture: Bono accepts a gourd during a visit to the cotton-growing town of Dafara, May 22, 2006. REUTERS/Rainer Schwenzfeier ) »
