How do u pronounce king adu's name? I was just wonderin because i heard one of the espn soccer dudes say it with the AAAA. but i heard another sportscaster say it with the UH

I believe it's uh-DU, with the stress on the last syllable. Can anyone confirm?

Just like the shakespeare play Much Ado about Nothing. hence the headlines Much Adu about something.

From Grant Wahl's article on SI.com...

Get ready to be very tired, very quickly, of headlines like MUCH ADU ABOUT FREDDY. (One saving grace: At least it'll teach folks how to pronounce Freddy's surname correctly.)

...I'm assuming Wahl know what he's talking about.

I asked a Ghanian girl in my class and she told me that the stress is on the second syllable.

a-DU

a guy in my office is from ghana says he would pronounce the name:

"EH-du"

If you are not aware, this would have a lot to do with what particular part of Ghana that he is from. It is a land of many languages and dialects.
