    • 2018 August 30, “Letter from Africa: Should Ghanaian women be limited to three babies?”, in BBC News‎:
      Among the Ga, the people who are indigenous to Ghana's capital, Accra, a woman is entitled to a live sheep on the delivery of her 10th child. The word for it is "nyongmato". […] Lots of very important people among the Gas can testify to this. Unfortunately, I have not met any woman who has actually got a live sheep for having given birth to 10 children.
