In all probability, yes. Kofi is actually from Ghana, so it kinda makes more sense than having to fake everything. (See Mr Piper for lessons on that)
Got into a nice argument on another forum about it
Guy 1: Kofi isn't Jamaican, he's African
Guy 2: And what continent is Jamaica in?
Guy 1: Erm...
Me: He's from Ghana, which is in Africa. Jamaica is counted as being in North America.
Guy 2: Are you sure on that?
Me: Check an atlas.
