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?

I could not just hide my anger and further guffaw when a PIG calling himself HARD-TALK uk and his bunch of useless Morons and HIV infested minsiters of state sling mud at Ghanaians. Now check these facts:

1) It is not true that Wole Soyinka is the first African Laureate to recieve a NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE. The first African to recieve a NOBEL PEACE Prize in Literature was ALBERT LUTULI of South Africa in 1960, at a timne Soyinka DID NOT HAVE PANTS under HIS TROUSERS. ASSS HOLE!!!! U see u are not even schooled enough to attract commonse sense in your dealings.

2) Which Africa country emits bad odour even if the whole Atlantic Ocean is turned into a mouth wash for them and will still emit bad odour from ther MOUTHS?
Answer - NIGERIANS

3)Which is the only country in Africa to have the FBI and CIA storm their country to arrest and investigate Cyber CRIMES and money laundering as well as COCAINE TRAFICKING?
Answer: NIGERIA

4)Which African Country has the HIGHEST number of foreign Prisoners in the UK?

Answer: Nigeria. 932, with 409 of them hardened CRIMINALS and out of this number 119 use Ghanaian PASSPORTS, who have been found not even having a relative of them being a Ghanaian. 197 of these use South African Passports and 28 have UK Nationality status, thus those with British Passports.

5) Which Africa country have the highest number of women in British jails?
Answer: NIGERIANS
45 in HM Holloway Prisons, 23 in HM Belmarsh Prisons, with 31 of the total number, using Ghanaian passports parading as Ghanaians, who cannot even speak a single Ghanaian Language. They have Nigerian passports but use Ghanaian passports to travel only to Ghana. THIEVES, OLE. BALAWU.

COME on,  COme again,  Want more THRUTHS? NOT Facts but TRUTHS? BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!

What rivalry?

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

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. wink

You shouldn't judge a people by a handful of forumers, who made them representatives of all Ghanaians? Bruv, just chill. . .
Re: Is There Rivalry Between Nigeria And Ghana? by Gbawe: 7:51am On Sep 10, 2009
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.

These kind of comments embarrass me. What is there to be jealous about? undecided This shouldn't be a matter of superiority or some I'm better than you chant, Nigeria really needs to clean up her acts.

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.

Re: Is There Rivalry Between Nigeria And Ghana? by OvieE: 4:46pm On Sep 10, 2009
