Oh good. Is the retail space in West Hills Mall, 32,000m2? It looks like a great place to hang out with the family.

Yeah sure is.. And the road network even if its yet To be completed. It looks Great. There are a lot more retail centers coming. Up. Along side beachfront properties and new cities.. There's an infrastructure boom and I can wait to get in

Well I think there is suppose to be an expansion of shoprite @ the palms.. But it will not be enough. There are a lot of proposed retail centers in nigeria.. So some bigger ones will spring up

Yeah, but I think we are looking more at malls spread across the country, so that every region/state has access to a world class mall. Although, the ego will probably not let some rest, until Nigeria has the largest mall in West Africa....lol

It would be nice, if other parts of Ghana (Cape Coast, Kumasi and Takoradi) gets this type of mall too. Takoradi houses people with money too.

I love fufu, but then I love poundo, eba etc too. There is something about eating with your hands, its just too good.
I'm not really a fan of wakye, but I think thats because I grew up with Jamaican rice and peas, which is similar but soooo much better imo.

I love the street food, which is almost the same as Naija. Meat, roasted corn, roasted yam etc.
There was one dishfrom Northern Ghana, that they usually sell on Sunday. I can't remember the name of it and I've been trying to remember since then. Its a soup, made with a leaf that draws and I think it had some kind of fufu with it. There was a long queue, put it that way.....lol


I may not be able to live in Ghana, but i sure will visit again. I had fun....especially in Kumasi and Takoradi. I'll always remember Bosomtwi and my river trip to Nzulezo.

I want to know if members of the Odeyewu Int'l Band are still together. How about their leader, Eddy Maxwell? Their highlife music is unique. I enjoyed "Make Monkey Chop" when I was growing as a child.

True talk.

The average Ghanaian is darker han the average Nigerian, some Ghanians are light, as are many Nigerians. But, so what?

Black skin is beautiful and Ghanaians need to stop saying that all lighter Nigerians are so, because they bleach. That's not the truth.

doubt Emeka is a Nigerian. That is an Igbo name, which means he should be aware of the prevelance of lighter skin tones, among his own tribe.



Anyhoo.......I dont see why some Nigerians state the dark skin tone of Ghanaians as a bad thing. I love dark skin, on any man.

I think you may have to take it with a pinch of salt, because on this same NL, threads about dark skinned GH actresses reveal, they are actually seen as beautiful.

Nigerians need to stop this talking as if dark equals bad and Ghanaian also need to stop parading the light skinned actresses/actors as the most beautiful/handsome. It becomes quite hypocritical when you say you love your skin tone, but looking at your Ghallywood.....all those at the top are light/mixed race.......Just saying.

Nollywood does the opposite.




LOL @ bolded
It’s funny how you quickly said you doubt the guy is Nigerian just because he said Nigerians are as dark as Ghanaians. Well, Igbos have some light-skinned people but the average Igbo is dark skinned. Majority of them look like Emeka Ike, Jim Ike, Clem Ohaneze, and Mr. Ibu. Unless you call that light skinned. You also have Yorubas who are just as dark as South Sudanese. Your Hausas are also very, very dark. The only light skinned Nigerians are the Fulanis, and they only represent a small percentage of the the Niegria's 170 million population.

There is nothing ugly about being very dark, just as being light skinned doesn’t make you pretty. But nigerians make it look like the very dark skin tone is ugly and a taboo. No wonder 77% of them are bleaching.

Sorry mate, you can't lecture me on how my own people/tribe look. The average Igbo family has all skin tones, including as dark as Ghanaians.
I doubted Emeka was Nigerian, because as an Igbo he would know that lighter skinned people are nothing new to Igbo's, neither is it a big deal. Yes, there are many dark skinned people in Nigeria. Of course,we are African and I have many times stated my view of dark skinned tones, so I don't get why you are trying to see what is not there.

Yes, there are Igbos like Mr Ibu and Emeka Okafor, but also like Mike Ezeronye, Kalu Ikeagwu that are typical Igbo looking without any half lebanese, part Dutch etc parents...lol Maybe you are saying these Nigerians are bleaching too?


You don't need to preach to the choir about the beauty of dark skin and I already stated that Nigerian can also be dark, especially some tribes. The range of tones, from light to very dark are all found naturally among the Igbo. I know you cling to the accusation of all light skinned Nigerians bleaching, but thats your own belief.

But, I know how my own Igbo people look thanks.


LOL @ bolded! They are actually the minority.

And I knew you will definitely reply with your usual lecture on Igbos and their so called light skinned grin... May be it was when they first arrived from Isreal cheesy, but with the mixing of genes with the likes of Yorubas who migrated from South Sudan cheesy, most Igbos aren't light skinned anymore. Your Igbos may be light skinned in your eyes, but the majority of them that I see who are not bleached, are dark skinned like Mr Clem Ohaneze et al grin

FYI, I went to an Igbo picnic with a Yoruba friend. Few minutes after we arrived she turned to me and said, "look at these people, how many of them are light skinned, but they always say we Yorubas are black" LOL! It looks like that thing dey pain omo yoruba folks wella cheesy

@Ilovegh

Your argument is flawed.

Majority vs minority.

An average Ghanaian can easily pass for a Sudanese. Lmao!

When I say an Average Ghanaian, I mean like the dude below, because many Ghanaians are actually darker than him - like your former president.

LOL! Your favourite Dauda picture again? You are doing a very good job making him popular in NL. grin

Well, when I say the average Nigerian it’s the likes of Randy Coal, Taye Taiwo, and Mr. Ibu. Daud’s dark skin is not even close.

My exposure to my own people is not from a picnic. I am Igbo and so are my family, so I have a bit more knowledge of my own people. Did you hear me claim Igbos are not also dark?

We are dark and light, and middle tones....that's fact. That majority of Igbos I have seen and know and are related to, are not very dark at all, but all tones are represented (even in the same family) and I would not say that lighter tones are minority.

You are Ghanaian, your friend is Yoruba, do you really think you can teach me anything about my own people and how we look?

Taye Taiwo, Mr. Ibu, etc, can't represent the average Nigerian but Dauda can represent the average Ghanaian.

In terms of complexion, Taye Taiwo and his fuggly ilks constitute less than 25% of the Nigerian population.

But Dauda, petrodullard and Ghkwame1 represent up to 80% of Ghanaians.
