@imensah,

You are a very foolish and stupid ghanian for trying to compare your poverty stricken country with nigeria.

if u must know,i have been to kumasi and other small cities,and those places are nothing to write home about,
you ghanians are just blowing your heads off with the only average city u have which is Accra.
i tell u,u people have just started

Rhymz, we have been in the same kind of thread. I agree that many Ghanaian men are insecure around Nigerian men, but my man is ok. He has alot of Nigerian friends.

I just think we should not start tooting horns like the OP. Whichever way you look at it Ghana, along with Nigeria is still a long way from where it should be. Although I do agree that the systems in Ghana seem to be working to a mor consistent degree than Nigeria, but then Ghana is a very small population. I was in Ghana for about three weeks and there was light off often as well as generators in some businesses. Although not on the same scale as Nigeria. There was also a problem with water supply in Accra, just like there is in some places in Nigeria. I saw many of the same setbacks in Ghana as Nigeria, even if on a different scale, but that is to be expected.

If the OP thinks where Ghana is today is the pinnacle, then her/his sights are set far too low.

I beg to disagree. I am a Nigerian 100%. However, i was in Ghana for 2 months (Sept and Oct. 2009). I stayed in Accra (Dansoman Area).
While its true that not all places are glam like Abuja or Lagos, however, what makes it different is that things are working. There are far better roads in Accra than Lagos. Electricity is fairly stable ( I can count on how many times it went out during my stay).

Everytime there is a power outage, it never crosses my mind that we will sleep in darkness at night. Usually, it will be restored by nitetime. Only once, it went out till around midnight. Most houses don't have generators.

There is also water. Most houses dont have boreholes like Lagos.

The biggest thing Ghana has going for it? SECURITY!!. There are some cases of robbery but i can tell you that its not bad at all. We were at the beach till around 8pm and people are still there when we left.

We need to call a spade a spade. The mechanism than runs Ghana is much better than Nigeria! Plain and simple.

The university dont shut down for a whole year!. The people are well laid back and are not all trying to get in your pocket all the time (Though some do)

The public office works very decent. They take their job more serious than Nigerians!. That i know! You find a lot of foreigners in Ghana than Naija considering that its only 25million people

Ghanaians are very proud of their country. About 95% of the vehicles in Ghana have a Ghanaian flag inside them!

As much as i dont want to get into the Nigeria/Ghana bashing, it will be nice to speak the truth at least once.

@ Kunle-A

So what if ghanian vehicles have their flags on their number plates,?look at your myopic sense of reasoning.

Did they tell you that Nigerian Vehicles dont have nigerian flag on their number plates?

rhymz:

it is obvious that U saw this thread didn't bother to read through,U just jumped and started typing mumbo jumbo.
The Fact is both Nigeria and ghana are still underdeveloped and ghana pales in comparison to any developed country,so why are the idiots ranting.Guy abeg read before U go dey beh like spring,U no be small pikin.Ghana has just abt thesame problem Nigeria has, from power problem to infrastural problem so make them shut up their mouth.U wey dey say make we talk the truth,she your brain dey your leg abi any1 don deny say we no get problem,dis Kunle guy U be 4ck up guy true U brain na rubber.

Kunle-A:

It not just a matter of the flags dude. Its the sense of pride they exude for being Ghanaian. The flags are willingly hanged by the motorists not being "forced down their throat" by being on the license plates. There is a difference. People wear shirts and wears proudly with their country's color. You need to see them to realize the difference in their sense of pride.

Do you want to compare their schools too? Have you heard of their school closing down for a whole year? They take their future seriously if you ask me.

rhymz:

See how U double speak,in one breath U condemn your own country, ready to bring it to the alter of ridicule for the Ghanaians to ve fun with and in another breath thesame U, re accusing Nigerians of not being proud of Nigeria,what a hypocrite.U are a bi-polar Man! I can bet U don't even have any trace of green white green in your own car.Typical of your sect,so eager to highlight all that's wrong in the system but pales in the face when it comes to action.
U re a pure armchair critic,U talk the talk but dreads to work the work.

Kunle-A:

This is the problem with Nigeria. Why are we so adamant in recognizing our problem? The first step in solving a problem is recognizing it!. It has nothing to do with either shameful/proud of being a Nigerian. Why can't we highlight whats good about others and try to emulate?

Facts are facts. Or is patriotism equals being blind to the facts too? I need a lot to learn then, Mr. Rhymz!

Ghanaian society is showing signs of becoming more lawless by the day. They are now going into sakawa (419), blood money and I did hear stories of robberies and the like.

Generally it is more safe than places like Lagos, Aba maybe port harcourt. But to be honest it is no more safe than places like Abuja, Jos and Calabar when it comes to certain crimes. I would say some of these places are safer in fact.

Ghana is a very small place, and many countries surrounding it are even more peaceful and have even less of those problems than Ghana to be honest. When all is said and done, they are basing their supposed superiority on Nigeria's obvious set backs. Let them compare their society with others who are also doing well politically, socially etc. I agree they have more pride in their country because unlike with Nigerians it is not a national pastime to obssess over negatives.
Ghana has made strides in some areas like education, but thats no cause to shout against another country, they are also clamouring to go to school in the country of another man.Even if not Nigeria.

One thing I did notice about Ghana is that they are slowly selling the gains of their country to foreigners. They dont seem to feature in their own sectors in any great way. Whether banking,telecoms etc. Its almost as if they pride themselves on the way "obroni" has taken hold in their country without even realising that they are not playing a major part in their own industries. I found that sad.
