let address some points about this topic, I love nigeria,i love ghana too.That are both home to me.

If you are comparing Lagos to Accra then yes Accra wins every time,why you ask because of basics Accra there always light,if they are going to take light they give you advance notice, as a female you can walk the street at anytime, get a cab at anytime. No one is going to tell you can't go to this area after 9pm and all that nonsense. Tourism is great in Accra,so much to see and do. The Ghana people can see how much money tourism brings to it country and happy to invite other nations to their country.

Now comparing Abuja to Accra, Abuja wins, this is a Fab city, clean and new and is more welcoming to tourism that Lagos. it demonstrate all the best Nigeria as to offer,i suppose that why it the capital city. Abuja rocks, so much space and air.

The government need to do something with Lagos especially as alot of people still see it has the capital city.


Please when was the last time you were in Ghana What are you really talking about. I am in Ghana now for 2 weeks for a friends wedding. On my second day here, My bag was stolen at gun point in the afternoon. At 3.20pm. I said at gun point. I lost my contract handset, £500,and other stuff with my ID on them, my international driver,s license etc. I am noly hoping that identity theft does not happen here like it does in the UK. The other woman with me was robbed of har phone and other valuables. i heard of a car theft at 7pm 2 days ago. So your point of walking to anywhere at anytime does not come through for me.

There is a big big big water problem in Accra-are you aware It has gone on for like ages i hear. I can go on. My two weeks will expire on tuesday next week and off to canada i go via lagos.
As for your point on tourism, i dont know about that. My cousin lives here and complains about how prices of stuff jump every 2 weeks. Lagos is actually cheaper if you ask me. Even if the tourism industry booms here, the people do not see the benefits. It is the simple truth. I would only like to live here in Accra cos of the light electricity issue.The traffic congestion is not like that of Lagos, but it's getting there.

My two cents.

This is d most olodo question i have seen on nairaland.

1. Naija can not be like Ghana because' Naija isnt Ghana.
2. Naija can not be like Ghana because Ghana isnt the yardstick meant for measuring success in Africa.

This didnt require deep thoughts or scientific wisdom, basic common sense can tell u why in 2mins.

You don't need to travel far to Ghana to realize that everything is organized. Simply cross the Nigerian border by foot into the Republic of Benin and It's a whole new world entirely.

Nigeria can't be like Ghana because they are two different countries!
