We should be happy for Ghana as Africans. They are the only African team left standing, the only one which has stopped this world cup from being a White wash on African soil. If it were Cameroon or Ivory Coast we would all be behind them also. Its just happened to be Ghana. Lets give credit where credit is due.

Valid point - OMO IYA

@Poster, Take  It or continue with your unspeakable, unpalatable, retrogressive, humiliating, redundant, accursed, ignominious and reduntant thread. Cheers!

slyfoxxjoe:

the word patriotism means loyalty and commitment to ones COUNTRY currect me if im wrong but there is no word in the dictionary for showing commitment to ones CONTINENT!! all u guys yarning "we are africans" obviousle have never encountered ghanians first hand. they would NEVER celebrate a nigerian win(they are more likely to display jelousy considering the complex they have for us) and are probably laughing their heads off seeing us trying to "attatch" to them bcuz they progressed in the world cup and we did not. you are not obliged to support a team just becuz your country is situated on the same continent with them how much of an behind kisser can u be? do u think brazilians celebrate argentinas wins or england celebrates for scotland? this whole "we are africans thing" just shows how inferior we fricans feel toward the western world to the extent that we consider one counrtys progress as a victory for the ENTIRE continent! its disgusting. we are better than that. u are nigerian and owe NOTHING to ghana. congratulate them in the spirit of sportmanship but let it stop there!

Browser69:

@OP, I think you should write this as a protest letter to the presidency and copy NFA, NSC and NFF. May be they can dn something about CRAWLING EAGLES to make us happy in d future.

Leboss6, your gripe here makes little sense, not sure if it actually fits the Sport, Politics or Tribalist section.

What's wrong with being happy for a winning country? Are you really that narrow minded, that you're only willing to support Nigeria, if indeed you're actually a Nigerian? I sense a lot of bitterness and hate in your posts.

As far as I'm concerned, it's not about patrotism, it's about choice. If a Nigerian is happy that Ghana won, good for him / her. This is one of the very reasons I can't stand football - it appears to turn normally rational beings into hate-filled individuals, they lose all sense of direction. It's meant to be a fun sport, but people like yourself take it way too seriously, and find political / racial angles, where none should exist.

Well done, Ghana.

I dont know but this is the most silly post I have ever read on nairaland. I get baffled how come such people are able to write English. Or may be the owner of that idea never actually wrote the post himself.

To other reasonable Nigerians, don't take those trash. There is no rivalry between the two countries. If there is anything, I will say generally it is brotherly relationship. Some few people at both sides tend to expose feelings of jealousy towards themselves but it stays as that.

I happened to join nairaland during one of those nasty arguments. Naturally I joined in the fray and started writing rubbish about Nigeria and stuff. Later, I travelled to London and what I experienced made me wonder if I am still human. I never cared about that one much. My real experience came when I went to India last year on a business trip.

These guys were worse. They were very racist towards me. I really felt humiliated because naturally I have always been respected wherever I went. My self confidence suddenly left me and I completely changed. Unnecessary to say, it affected my trip seriously and I decided to return to Ghana without completing any deal. That was when my whole perception about my fellow African changed. I went to the "Gate of India" in Mumbai(in front of the Taj--the hotel that was attacked by the terrorists last two years in mumbai) and I met this Naija brother. Instantly I ran to him and started speaking to him in English. from his accent, I realized he was from Naija so we just spoke some pigin.

I told him what I went through and with his companionship and encouragement, I got my confidence back and was able to close the deal.

All of you guys who think you have the reason to jealous any other African country, take this message from me, "You are a fool and very shallow minded". The world is not about your pettiness. Compare your country to the West and that is where the action is.

leboss6:

it seem you wanna lay claim to having the monopoly to English language else you will not call to question a person ability to speak the English language, it seems you are Ghanaian judging from your name, am so happy to have a Ghanaian here at last, please my friend CAN YOU TELL NAIRALANDERS WHAT HAPPENED TO GLOBALCOM TELECOMMUNICATIONS OWNED BY A NIGERIAN OTUBA MIKE ADENUGA IN GHANA?

londoner:

@leboss, when I saw someone say they want to change nationalty I just rolled my eyes, its the usual childish outbursts that some Nigerians engage in when talking about Nigeria. Those types do it at every opportunity. They should be ignored. I am proud of Black Stars as Africans, because they are the only ones still in the WC who are African, simple  and the world cup is for the first time being held on the continent.

Did you not feel a sense of pride as an African that it was being held in Africa? Or did the fact that it was not in  Nigeria stop you? I know exactly the xenophobia towards Nigerians you speak of where Ghanaians are concerned, believe me, but there comes a point where you have to rise above the foolish mentality of some people. I deliberately stayed away from them for years because of it, but you know what? When I come across one, I just pity them from afar. However I still have time for  the Ghanaians who dont think that way and they too exist.

I believe everyone here would be even more ecstatic if Nigeria had been in the last 8 along side Ghana, our players thought different even causing us to play at a disadvantage. If anyone should be more patriotic its them.Points well noted bro, cheers

@original poster,
if there is anyone to cover his face with shame, it has to be u.
one for associating with loosers, secondly for leaving your country to run to ghana.
have u not heard, success has many relatives.
sports is known for happiness and if nigeria is not making u happy,. u can decide to get your happiness from togo or burkina faso.
the idea here is to make ourselves happy by all means.
if the desired is not available, the available will become the desirable.

leboss6:

It seems you did not read the thread before posting your comment, i have said it countless times that there is nothing wrong in congratulating a "rival" and wishing them well,thats what the spirit of sportmanship is all about, but when nigerians denounce there country and say things like they have changed there names to koffi,mensah,essien,muntari and co or that they wish they are ghanians and not nigerians then you will see that as a nation we are our own worst enemies

Akwasi:

Globacom has been given the headline sponsorship of the Black Stars. They sponsor the Ghanaian Premier League and they are erecting their masts to start their operations in Ghana. Is that bad?
