Is There Rivalry Between Nigeria And Ghana? by busybody20: 10:37pm On Sep 09, 2009 |
I was on Ghanaian forum ( http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/artikel.php?ID=168352&comment=5080398#com ) with forum users commenting on 'a letter from the Ghana High Commission in Nigeria to a Nigerian newspaper, appealing to Nigerian government officials to refrain from spreading falsehood about '. I have been to Ghana several times. I have had several Ghanaian friends. I was a member of a Ghanaian church in London sometime in the past. I thought Ghanaian people are very warm and friendly. I also thought there was some mutual respect between Nigerians and Ghanaians. I was very shocked about some of the comments made about Nigeria on the forum. Most of those comments were so bad that they are unprintable. I have quoted some of the comments at the end of this post. My questions are: 1. Are these comments representative of the generally held impressions about Nigerians by Ghanaians all over the world or just the opinion of a minority? 2. Is there some kind of rivalry between Nigerians and Ghanaians? 3. If there is rivalry, is such rivalry healthy? Author: Okyeame Sogbladzah Author: Pronto Author: N. K. W - HM PRISONS, UK |

What rivalry? It is currently Ghana 1, Nigeria 0. While we are feeling our way through ever increasing political darkness, Ghana is forging ahead. |

let them continue to drink panadol over our headache. when people take their time to talk and write negative posts about others, it only means they're hating. we have problems and we know, but how is it their problem now, did we ask them for help? this same people flooded nigeria in the past, now we're bastards? what haters! |

Rebarobyn: They are not hating.See what your ministers said about ghana. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-321101.0.html |

asha 80: I take my post back, they aren't hating. all the ministers are just ignorant with very little knowledge of things beyond nigerian borders, and so are the Ghanaian posters. Nigerian public office holders need to be taught some diplomatic manners, their comments make me sick! |

Yep, looks as if “Nigerians” on this board do really despise Ghana and whish Ghana to fail because “Nigerians” see only the good things in Ghana, which is contrary to the “Nigeria” philosophy that assumes concentrating on bad things, and abusing self, leads to progress. . |

You shouldn't judge a people by a handful of forumers, who made them representatives of all Ghanaians? Bruv, just chill. . . |

There has always been rivalry between Nigerian and Ghana but it is only of recent this rivalry has become unhealthy. Unobjective Nigerians, instead of working to improve Nigeria , prefer to attack Ghana because of all the local and international praise it is getting lately . They feel , without zero justification , that they are greater than Ghanaians. You then have the ungracious Ghanaians who think their existence is validated by proving superiority over Nigeria and Nigerians. This dark period for Nigeria is a time to savour for them and enjoy . Like we see from some of the quote above , some Ghanaians speak as if Nigeria is cursed and , just like Ghana proved , not one good Government away from progress and rapid development. These two groups above , with some of the awful things they say , then drag other more sensible citizens from both sides into defending their nation. This gives rise to the 'cold war' currently ongoing between Nigeria and Ghana. I think it will become worse if Nigerians , instead of fixing their nation, continue to prefer to ridicule the efforts of Ghana while some Ghanaians , rather than accept praises with good grace , prefer 'to kick a man while he is down' with the vicious language seen on many Ghanaian forum lately aimed at representing Nigerians as scum and Nigeria as an "aids infested hellhole".

Hmmm interesting, Ive seen threads that created rivalry between Nigeria and South Africa, and maybe Nigeria and Kenya, so who's next? |
Re: Is There Rivalry Between Nigeria And Ghana? by Goldmind1(m): 9:26am On Sep 10, 2009 |
I want to help those Ghananians. Who among us doesn't know that Nigeria is a failed state. Knowledge creates wealth not oil and gas. A country whose leaders frustrate an industrious citizen. Even if we hide it, people know, the international community know. The funny thing is that even the leaders do not believe in the concept called Nigeria. How can a leader travel abroad to treat himself of malaria parasite, leaving these failed hospitals for the masses to be dying in dozens? Late Gani has said it all, that the CONSCIENCE OF NIGERIA IS DEAD. |

I am embarrased at the the comments I read on Ghanaweb. Not one civilized responder. And to think I was going to 2010 World cup as a Ghana supporter. I am withdrawing my order for Ghana Jersey with immediate effect. No Ghana-Naija for me. |
Re: Is There Rivalry Between Nigeria And Ghana? by Nobody: 3:45pm On Sep 10, 2009 |
such comments have been on ghanaweb for years. No biggie. And its not only on the web either- same attitude in real life too. Not all of them, but still some. |

Thanx to our leadership that is making Nigeria a ridicule now. Who be ghana to wanna mess with Nija if Nigeria has a leader that knows what they are doing. Anyhow, i wont call it rivalry, i will call it "wake up" call |

Rivalry in what? In term of governments Ghana 100% and Nigeria 0%. In terms of soccer Ghana 100% and Nigeria -0%. There is your rivalry answer. |
