What kinda silly thread is this? Monkey no fine efine for im mama,abi?

I am not aware that Ghanaians are complaining about Accra to Nigerians or Ghanaians have asked Nigerians to come build a new capital city for them.Don't you have more important things to do or say? Is Ghana competing with Nigeria over who has the more beautiful capital city?And what if Abuja is more beautiful? Is Abuja a fair representation of Nigeria? How many people live in Abuja? Only the Abuja city centre- a small area comprising-Maitama,Wuse,Garki,Wuye and Asokoro is developed. The entire Abuja city centre(from the presidential villa to city gate,from Katampe to Apo) is not even up to the size of east legon! The vast majority of your people in Abuja live in slums like Mararaba,Suleija,Nyanya and Kuje,One Man Village,Kuchingoro!

Abuja,just like the entire Nigerian phenomenon, is fake. Can anyone see anything Nigerian in Abuja? Nothing indigenous-everything from the concept to buildings were all borrowed from elsewhere.

By the way, with all the mountains of problems Nigeria faces, is it Abuja v Accra that is your obsession? You sound like someone whose head is filled with sand!

Taking it personal? you kidding me?


Deep down me I  really don't expect any better from a bunch of Ghana haters! It's often  hard to ignore the small-mindedness and negative obsession with Ghana here. But I have my own way of exacting vengeance-not on this forum.

As far as I'm concerned comparing Abuja with Accra is obscene. Abuja is not even up to the size of east legon. Abuja at the moment is a rather small area-from the villa you drive through the central business district which has buildings like Labour House and the CBN on the left and ends at the national hospital. This is a like a distance of about 6 or so kilometres.Even when you drive from Katampe to Apo it is still a relatively short distance. The jury is still out on Abuja.Let's wait a few more years and see what will happen. For now, Abuja has a few majestic buildings- I still don't understand why anyone wants to build high-rise buildings in a country notorious for power outages! I recall years ago when I had an office on the 7th floor of Labour house and was left panting every morning because the lifts never worked!

I'll definitely chose Accra over Abuja any day.Yes, we love our Accra,and we cherish our dear country!

abuja is realy beautiful comparing with accra nd ghana as a whole cn only presnt accra because dats d best dey can offer buh here in nigeria d like of lagos,cross river,port hacourt,abuja,delta,jos,etc are all developed nd people talk abt peace nd security nig is too big why nt travel to sum oda cool places aside d north nd crowed lagos nd its abero boys den u'd knw nig is more dan a country gh is jst a small country dats why one means of transport is everywhr their ttro ttro bus nd dr taxi's all over d country dr accra commercial bus ttro ttro even travels far distance unlike nig u'd find d likes of cross country,efex executive,d young,guo,God is good etc

Last time i visited both cities was 8 months ago so i might no longer be accurate.

However, in my opinion for the most Part Abuja is a much better city. in terms of planning and infrastructure layouts i.e parks, road network, buildings etc (except of course electricity/internet/water). Hardly any blackouts in ghana and internet price is very reasonable.

If you speak of nightlife and entertainment - i give it to accra! much better restaurants, bars, nightclubs, hotels -. For $100 per night, you can get a very decent hotel room in Accra whereas for 50% more or even double the price in Abuja or Lagos , you will have to sleep in a rat house. I think we dont know the difference between basic and luxury and that reflects a lot in our hotels, Or maybe its just the cost of operations - generators and staff!

Service in Accra is also a huge pointer for me over Abuja. Its simply non-existent in Nigeria - Alot of people attributes it to a lack of proper staff training, i disagree however and think its a lack of motivation - people dont like what they do!

Anyway, to cut it short, Accra isn't special at all but might be easier for foreigners to live in than Abuja as it appears to have more livable points. stable electricity, cheaper accomodation, very multicultural nightlife and food options (not cut throat prices), plus the beach!

wah am sayin is dey can't jez start comparing a country like nigeria to ghana because nigeria is way to bigger in everythn dat concerns west coast ok d only advantage ur country has is dr constant light which even d source stil gotn frm nig ,maintain neatness,people obey rules nd regulations e.g traffic lights nd abstain frm robbry etc mostly accra most oda parts in ghana are nt like dat nd undeveloped. a peaceful,safer,lively nd night life accra well generaly a peaceful nation compared to nigeria buh over all nigeria is way too bigger u want sum prove. check most of ur products in ur

mixture 4star etc named energy drink ghana produce),our gas made in nigera news paper nd lot more u see are nigerian property nd intellectual individuals d likes of dangote,wizkid,flavour etc all frm nigeria vartualy everyfin which is every whr in ghana frm volta region to the northern eastern nd ashanti region evrywhr in gh the only property of ghana u'd hear in nigeria is alomo bitters which is evrywhr nd ghanian coco tea which is rear every other fin ghanians loves nigerians based in 9ja don't even hear abt it only does based in ghana. so nigeria is way tu bigger dn other smaller west african countries nw people comparing accra wit abuja hw possible is dat. if u gat sum cash embark on dis trip travel frm ivory coast,ghana,togo,benin u'd see its same partern of highways den get into nigeria startin frm seme border u'd notice a total difference den travel frm lagos along side d ibadan high way,ore,edo etc den u see nigeria is no rank to dis smaller countries accra should hv bin compared wit abidjan which I stil beliv abidjan is better d paris of africa jez d war problem den,lome,cotonou but hell no nt wit nigerian abuja mayb not even lagos becos lag has it all d 3rd mainland brigde high tall buildins,flowers/gardens and lagos island is enough lagos wud av being a very lively nd nighlife city wit d likes of eko and suits,silverbird cinemas,shoping malls,clubs,hotels etc jst due tu lagos risk stress nd population but stil people av fun mostly on friday nd saturday mayb cross river is preferable it sud might av bin accra vs cross river hey come on why comparing av u 4gotn d riches nd wealth even d individual build latest infrastures hotels,houses,etc u need to see d house my uncle build in awka its an up to date house nd dat kind u find every whr in nigeria buh av nt seen such in accra d capital of a nation dey only build one style of houses nd roof it like dat till date which is in existance 4 a long tym no new idea's u need to go tu a place called kasoa oh shit if nt our students seekin admission in dr uni's u'd see hw vacant it will b becos charle charle paa boy's nd grls dr hardly go tu skl 4 sum factors no money nd not interested in education etc u'd rather see dem driving ttro ttro servin as matte or into peti peti business u see highr rate of unemployment in ghana young nd old nd dr capital accra don't joke wit money altho its everywhr and does ghanians luv money mugulisly dats why nigerians are smarter nd sharper dan dem in everyfin nigerians in ghana even feed nd offer dem employment in there home dey copy all what nigeria does both bad and good even tryin tu speak d 9ja pigin my people I knw everyfin abt ghana dr's notin special at all its worse dan nigeria dey only present accra tarwordi,tamale,kumasi,cape cost which is not even betr dan sum nig states aside lagos nd abuja d rests are rural areas nd villages nobody even hear of dr northern region they say terrorist nd boko haram tell me which hausa's hv u seen in west africa togo,ghana,ivory coast,benin rep nd nigeria havin a different mind set dey all d same fin dey all aboki nd they boost of sum few natural tourist attraction with kakum part in cape coast. tel me is cape coast better dan obudu cattle rang of nig brothers b4 ghana will meet up wit nig dey still gat a long way u knw d worst dey use dr commercial local bus ttro ttro nd sum big korian luxirus bus eg vvip nd executive tu travel far distances eg frm accra to kumasi,tarkworade etc are few hours nd longer hours drive tho d highways are jst 2lines nd landmark no too big. no single ghanian bus travels to nigeria unlike nigeria individuals eg efex executive ,d young,god is good,guo,abc,iyare,cross country etc will charter brand new toyota hiace bus nd european luxirus bus which travels frm lagos to north south east nigeria nd to ghana wit d brand new made bus by a nigerian 'innorson' which even loads frm lagos nigeria to west costal area's to accra gh so note:. an individual in nigeria is enough tu change ghana more eg dangote nd innorson mottors because u have sum little built roads,plazers,gov given prepaid unit(lights) nd waters ,clubs,bars and resturants nd sum shopping malls nd d nation manage d little dey gat in d capital city accra will now gv u d nerves tu compare accra tu a flashy classic high buildns nd well constructed abuja which fancy infastructure do they hv in accra gh capital even"east legon,osu jst clean nd normal notin more nw can d accra's finest osu,east legon,tema etc meet with d one's in lagos I.e"mary land,ikeja,lagos island,ikoyi,lekki,wit all d high buildns beautiful roads oceans nd seas gardens etc nt to talk of abuja nigeria capital the little they have are built by foreigners eg the new shoppin mall.west hill mall which is own by a fellow african from south africa d president 'mahama' came out sayn dey should build more 4 dem in other region eg kumasi etc again dey call lagos dirty while d beautiful place's have world class buildins nd markets eg,d longest bridge in west africa 3rd mainland,ikoyi,vi,lekki,aja,mary land,ikeja nw compare does places wit osu or legon or d accra gsm/computer market circle wit d big computer village nd small neat gsm village along airport road or will u compare d beautiful lagos international nd airport wit d ones in dr capital city accra seriously if u knw accra u'd knw its no reach tu nigeria higher cities it has its own dirty irritatin areas too prove me wrong lemi knw d person.I'l say it again compare accra wit mayb cross river not abuja even lagos is nt a match cn go on and on but I'l stop I want tu see who more or same thing I knw prove me wrong
