Why Do Ghanaians Have Similar Culture With Black Americans? by onila(f): 3:08pm On Feb 21, 2017
where is this coming from

the hot temper
sensitivity

my Ghanaian friend challenges the pastor when preaching shocked shocked
you know that stuff black Americans do, where they shout(in a polite way) when their pastor is preaching cheesy

l appreciate and value the Ghana mans role and contribution to Africa's development and progress

ghanaians have helped me in some ways, a Nigeria would never do
probably one of the top influential nations on the continent

l just see some traits they share with black Americans

Really? Never knew they were hot tempered. I was taught by Ghanian teachers all through my nursery and primary school.

I dated a Ghanian in the Columbus. Never saw her angry but always wanting to know what I thought about her etc.

Well you might have mixed well with them in social settings.

Mine was in a classroom and just one lady...but AKT are something else. I try to avoid interacting with them as much as possible. They are hyper sensitive and prone to violence over nothing.

It has to do with slavery. The trauma from slavery makes a people hostile to themselves and lose faith in their ability to challenge others intellectually and resort easily to a weak violence at the slightest provocation. That's same character exhibited by most Riverine peoples in Nigeria.

Based on association I find them the only respectful group in the South. This of course is based purely on personal experience.

you must have spent most of your time with the Lagos-bred Yorubas

I used to think they were cool too, until I got to Abuja and met the non-Lagos bred Yorubas.

Let's just say, on the list of least desirable people to room with in the University of Abuja, Yoruba girls are neck and neck with Ebira girls

Whether Lagos bred oo or Abuja bred, there's no difference between them. You have some nice ones and sone not so nice ones. It's the same with other ethnic groups. The only reason why one would think that they're respectful us because of how they gesticulate. But one think i have to agree to though is that they tend to be more liberal than a lot f other groups. Which means that they're not hard nuts to crack.
