My experience living in Ghana

Disclaimer: These are all my day to day gatherings while living in Ghana. To the nairaland Ghanaian community, please, calm down and read objectively. I know you all to be abruptly ferocious and good patriots to your country!
As we all know, the combination of Niger, Bornu and Taraba states is way more bigger than the entire Republic Ghana. But I am assuring you, we aren't gonna divulge our time into that frivolity right now.

Crime in Ghana~In this regard, Ghana security forces are not a match to their Nigerian counterparts, it's just that Ghanaians are relatively law abiding than we are, they're not over ambitious like we Nigerians. Although, Ghana is well known for its relentless "Sakawa boys" (A diabolic answer to Nigerian 'yahoo boys', these guys can kill as a form of sacrifice or whatever, unlike our yahoo yahoo boys). Armed robberies are very prevalent in three northern regions; Northern Region, Upper east and Upper west. These places are synonymous to "bike snatching". You don't dare flaunt your new motor bike any how.

Road network in Ghana Roads here are not the best I've seen, most of the inter-city roads are single carriage. Imagine, the only major road that linked Accra to the Commercial city of Ghana Kumasi, is also a single carriage. Like that wasn't enough, from Kumasi to Tamale (the biggest and most populous region) unfortunately, wasn't lucky to escape the prevailing fate, in fact with more road bumps than the hairs on my head. That your waist pain may get more severe after plying that road.
.... To the next big thing "electricity".

Electricity in Ghana With their state of the arts infrastructures and competent electricians, Ghana's electricity is as stable as viagra erected dickk.
From the border town of Aflao, up to the remote village of Tumu (A small hamlet boardering Burkina Faso to the north) are all electrified. In Ghana, electricity is your right not a privilege... If a single house in the middle of nowhere could be given one whole transformer, then we're bleeped up as a nation.
We've gotta employ those guys at "Volta River authority" to come and help our dearest PHCN.

Foods in Ghana A foodie? Please, stay back! Otherwise, be ready for some unpleasant surprises.
Rice, which is a food to half of the world population can't be made in Ghana without it stinking! Recently, I've been seeing Ghanaians taken us for jollof rice challenge, I bet you my fellow Nigerians, don't dare be lured to eat Ghana jollof, else you're gonna purge good good. You did see how great they made egusi soup, right?

Ghanaians are welcoming I still can't forget the dramatic moment I was given a microphone to introduce myself in one Ghanaian church. "My name is 'Nigerian' and I am from Nigeria". The church erupted! It was a photogenic moment as people rushed to shook my hand. On this, I love Ghanaians.

lol. i was in accra some years back. Very peaceful city. Apart from that and the very stable elevtricity, i dont see anything special about GH.

Yup, you're right. There's nothing spectacular in Ghana other than electricity

They are hugely obsessed with Nigerian entertainment In any party in Ghana, the odd would be in your favor if you predict that 70% of tracks going to be played would be Nigerian. Likewise their taste for Nollywood movies.

Goahead:

I agree, I think Ghana is nice but it has been hyped to much. It's a normal African country.

It is because they are comparing it to the areas Nigeria is failing in (like electricity) that people think it's fantastic but if you compare Ghana to other African countries it is just the same imho.

I agree with all but this point. Ghanaians make good food, their indigenous dishes and rice inclusive.
Dunno where u went and had bad rice in Ghana, maybe in Upper region egusi is not a Ghanaian dish so you don't even have to bring that comparison.
Kenkey and okro with koby fish or with shito and grilled tilapia
Omo tuo and sardine with lots of veggies
Fufu and light soup
Banku and groundnut soup
Egg and garden egg sauce with unripe plantain
Red red garnished with kelewele
Those are proper Ghanaian foods and absolutely delish.

My first nightmarish impressions was on a conventional food (rice) which Ghanaians failed woefully. I Tell you, Ghana is bereft of cooking instincts. The bolded, you expected me to eat all that?

I actually don't care if you eat shyte or not but don't come here berating a dish you actually never tasted just cos you have a stiff palate and taste buds.

You've dropped your opinion about Ghana food, i've dropped mine.

Question: If I am in Ghana can I brag that I'm living abroad?

The road from Accra to Tema is very good and is not single carriage. That's the main economic artery - similar to the Lagos - Ibadan Expressway that has been neglected, meanwhile the Abuja to Kaduna road gets constant attention...

The electricity situation is better but should there be a drought then the whole country hurts. Ghana is very dependent (too much so) on the Volta dam for its power. There would be no point in inviting the people behind that dam to Nigeria because they really didn't do much, the foreign businesses in that area held the Ghanaian government to ransom during the early post-independence era to build it and allow them to buy power at a heavily subsidized rate.

I've heard other people cry about Ghanaian food but I've never had an issue with it. I'm not fond of their swallows but their rice dishes are good - Palava sauce is pretty good.

Cool.


So you mean they prefer our Nollywood movies to their gallywood porn?

Ghana is a peaceful country but they hate Nigerians because we are spoilin their country.

compare ghana nd lagos nd nt the whole nigeria

This is how majority of the girls in Kumasi look like.

OP is like you don't know the difference between yahoo yahoo and yahoo yahoo plus.
