DARE_FATADE:

Juliet ibrahim did not migrate to ghana. she was born in ghana and raised in ivory coast.but decided to return to the country where she was born. her mum is half ghana from the ashanti tribe/ half liberian and her dad is lebanese.

Okay, thanks for clarifying that. Like I said in my initial post, I had read that info about her background somewhere so I was not sure. I don't know these Ghanaian actresses personally so I just go by what I read about them.

its fanti for me

It would have been best to use pure Ghanaians as reps for this sort of question. How do you compare a Lebanese/ Ewe mix against a Lebanese/ GA mix or Igbo/Ashanti mix vs Igbo/ Fanti mix for e.g if they look more Lebanese or Igbo than members their respective Ghanaian tribes?

Same issue with the Nigerian "beauty of ........" threads where some Yorubas, Igbos, Hausas etc with mothers from other ethnic groups whose facial features have been "compromised" are used to rep typical looks of their fathers' ethnic groups.


p.s Ebiere is Ijaw not Igbo.

I love then fanti

There is no way anyone can compare Ghana women with Nigeria counterpart. In what way, besides the few in acting roles, some with natural black toned skin and their biracial children, Ghanaians are far behind on the list when it comes to pretty ladies. The issue of biracial actor/ actresses who see very often in Ghana and Nigerian movies to me is self identity crisis, people tying to brand in to fit into mindset of beauty thereby mixing with Chinese, Lebanese etc.. Because someone is mixed and light skinned doesn't necessarily mean they 're pretty.

More Nigerians showing jealousy of Ghanaians!!!

whatever. dont forget that other africans see Nigerians every day and we know how a typical nigerian look like. you talk as if nollywood has never featured mixed raced actors and actresses before. last time i checked ramsey noah, eku edewor, caroline ekanem, ibinabo feberisima, shan george were all mixed, and the two mixed raced girls that desmond elliot featured in one of his movies. seriously you guys need to get a life with this your ghanaians can never be beautiful than nigerians bullshit. its getting boring. ghanaians have already shown how beautiful they are through their movies.you showcased what you have from your country on screen, they also showcased what they have from country. stop hating.

the Ashanti tribe has the finest women then the fanti tribe but they are all beautiful tho.

Juliet mother is,Liberian & her dad is Lebanese. She actually lived on the lib refugee came in ivory coast before she migrated to Ghana like many others. Her husband is Ghanaian that's it.

Religions of Ghana
Ashanti
The Ashanti are an Akan people and their tribe is the largest in Ghana. They are one of the few matrilineal societies in West Africa. Twi is the language of the Ashanti people and one of the most widely spoken languages in Ghana. It is a Ghanaan Akan dialect similar to Fante.
Prior to European colonization, the Ashanti people developed a large and influential empire in West Africa. They were a powerful, military, and highly disciplined people of West Africa.The Ashanti later developed the powerful Ashanti Confederacy or Asanteman and became the dominant presence in the region.

Ewe
The Ewe people occupy southeastern Ghana and parts of neighboring Togo and Benin. The Ewe are essentially a patrilineal people, the founder of a community became the chief and was usually succeeded by his paternal relatives. Ewe religion is organized around a creator deity, Mawu, and over 600 other deities. Many village celebrations and ceremonies take place in honor of one or more deities.
Coastal Ewe tribes depend on the fishing trade, while inland Ewe are usually farmers and keep livestock. The local variations in economic activities have led to craft specialization. The Ewe also weave kente cloth, often in geometrical patterns and symbolic designs that have been handed down through the ages. It is their claim that they are the original Kente weavers, and that the more well-know Ashanti Kente industry was established by kidnapped Ewe weavers long long ago.

Fante
The Mfantsefo or Fante are an Akan people. This ethnic group is mainly gathered in the south-western coastal region of Ghana The coastal Akan (Fanti) were the first to have relations with Europeans during the "Scramble for Africa". As a result of long association, these groups absorbed aspects of British culture and language. For example, it became customary among these peoples to accept British surnames
When the Portuguese arrived in the 15th century, the Fante prevented them from venturing inland and leased properties for Portuguese trading missions. But when the Portuguese objected to Fante rules and regulations the Fante expelled them. Thenceforth the Dutch arrived followed by the English. The Fante served as middlemen in the commerce between the interior and British and Dutch traders on the coast.
Major cities of the Fanti's are Cape Coast and Elmina.

Ga
The Ga-Adangbe are about 2 million, making about 8% of Ghana's population. They mostly live in the southeastern coastal region of the Greater Accra region in Accra, Tema, La, Ningo, Kpone, Prampram, and Ada. The Ga's are mostly mixed religious people of Christians, Muslims, and traditionalists.
The Ga people celebrate the massive Homowo festival, literally meaning "mocking hunger". This festival celebrates the passing of a great famine hundreds of years ago. Another popular Ga festival is Asafotu, an annual warrior's festival celebrated by the people of Ada. Check our list of festivals in Ghana.
Ga people are known for elaborate funeral celebrations where special coffins are crafted depicting the occupation or symbol of one's standing in community. For example, a taxi cab driver is buried with coffin in the shape of a car. These coffin workshops may be visited in the community of Teshie, near La Beach.

Dagomba
The Dagomba people are a large group that populate the northern regions of Ghana and Burkina Faso. They are Muslim and traditionalists with the most common local languages being Dagbani and Hausa. In Dagomba villages, the chief's house is usually a dome-shaped hut located in the center of the village or above the others. Drummers play an important role as both musician and court historians.
The overlord of the Dagbon traditional kingdom is known as the Ya Naa, literal
