My expressions are very consistent with my thoughts. for you, you lack the capacity to reason laterally. for you everything has to be black or white. That is why you will claim superiority with statistics neglecting the deep suffering of your own people. comparing figures which are largely inconclusive to the subject matter. and boy dare not compare your bush self to moi. we are not in the same class. sorry mate. you are as i stated earlier at best half educated and at worst ignorantly arrogant.

chamber2:

hahaha,let me tell you,because this is a social forum does not mean you have to continuously make grammatical blunders.For your information,I and most readers here find it very difficult reading meanings into your post.You are even unable to convince me on how Ghana is better than Nigeria,both in fact and fiction.So,no need wasting my time with an intellectual deficient not-so-smart person like you.

chamber2:


You have made no sense,yes nothing sensible. Your friend from Ghana started the issue of statistics and I quoted available records.If you don't believe in records/statistics why then did you go to school?When you can easily learn your physics or chemistry from your environment.
Stop comparing Ghana with Nigeria,it makes no sense at all.Nigerians live better than Ghanians.Nigeria has the highest number of educated people in Africa,they attend the best schools in the world and are found in all most all professions.Nigeria has the 6th largest natural gas reserve in the world and tops 8th in OPEC oil production.Agriculture wise,Nigeria has among the highest arable farms in sub-Saharan Africa.Accra is only comparable to Calabar,which is just a state capital in Nigeria.Nigeria has the highest number of universities in sub=Saharan Africa with world class intellectuals.Nigerians are respected in the world of arts.Nigeria tops Ghana and every other country in sub Saharan Africa in the entertainment scene.Nigerian students are adjudged worldwide as being of superior intellectual standing when compared with their mates in other African countries.

I can only agree that Nigeria has some leadership issues to fix and we are not ignorant of that.Plans are on top gear to push the cabals out of power.

I can go on and on.These are the realities you r talking about right?

chamber2:

I am not oblivious of the fact that some Nigerians lack the basic things of life,but not to the extent of comparing Nigeria with Ghana.I recognise the sufferings of my people, and it is my utmost desire to witness an improvement in their well-being.What class do you belong if i may ask?Because you work as a waiter in Mc Donald in the uk and you feel you are better than the next person.Class my foot.

I find that quite condescending and untrue.  Lips sealed There is no such thing as giant of Africa.Neither SA or Nigeria can project their power outside SADC and Ecowas respectively

I have already stated my background as

a philosopher and a biomedical scientist

. now if you noticed my contributions to this debate, i have not yet stated my stance on the subject matter rather i picked out a quote from your post as deliberately biased. now based on that, i have noticed am unable to communicate with you due to your twisted sense of self affirmation. you are very content with self worth based on GDP, GDP per capita hdi etc. i will never make an assertion that Ghana is better than Nigeria nor will i assert that Nigeria is better than Ghana. but i can understand why some people might stand by the former. having interracted with people who have lived in both countries, and examined the facts on the ground, there is little to choose between the two for me but nevertheless Ghana will edge Nigeria. you can dispute this by quoting the western styled indices's but, i strongly will use other indicies based on sound logical realistic facts.

Let me start by stating Nigeria and ghana are two different countries with negative and positive differences.

Nigeria have things and natural resources that ghana would never dream of just like ghana have things that Nigeria doesn't have.

So, you see it's a two-way street. . .

But I have to say Nigeria have more things. . .

Kai naija piple and their sense of delusion! You guys can badmouth Ghana all you can, something Nigerians are particularly good at. But I see boku,boku Nigerians on the streets of Accra every day, and more are coming every single hour. And by the way, how do you measure one country being better than another? Is it by looking at which of them has more mansions even where there is no electricity to power lifts, limousines when there are no good roads to drive them on, private jets etc. I guess most of you guys don’t realise that more people in Ghana have access to electricity, good roads, health care, potable water, food, education and security than people in Nigeria? Frankly, we can debate which is better between Ghana and Nigeria, but for me, I know if Ghana is ahead of Nigeria in all the indices i mentioned, then what is there to compare? Of course, unless you want to tell me one percent of the population being stupendously rich is a good measure of the quality of life of the generality of the people.

Now, if you want to get a good sense of how Nigeria is performing in terms of the quality of life of the average Nigerian, then why don’t you refer to the UNDP Human Development Index report? I suggest all of you should go and read that first before talking about what you don’t know anything about. In terms of the quality of life of ordinary folks, Nigeria compares with countries like Liberia,Chad, Somalia etc

@kabna firstly,i did not start the issue of posting statistics,the post above made mention of statistics from UNDP.So,in order to corroborate my assertions with figures as he wanted i posted those stat.Every country has the potential to grow and out-compete others,especially in this globalised world.For instance,Singapore became a first world country without having any natural resource.I am not therefore saying that Ghana has no potential for development,very far from that.But the case of Nigeria and Ghana is like comparing S.korea and China.Both are on the threshold of advancement,but China has more potentials than S.Korea, at least for now.

@kabna
you are now sounding more educated and enlightened than before lol

i must admit you have now reasoned to see that figures are very misleading. not to say i will not state them but i always have suspicions. but hey even with the HDI figures and from another source Ghana is put higher than nigeria and this is also a credible source. so i always refuse to be drawn into the argument of figures. please in the name of unity do not assert nigeria as better than ghana . i definately agree nigeria is huge but i do not accept nigeria a and for that matter nigerians as superior to ghanaians yes naija is china and ghana south korea makes sense to me big time and i can relate e. i think we should mutually respect each others strength and this animosity between our people must end. Nigerians respect ghanaians and ghanains will love and respect you.

@kabna

Yes,i take figures with a pinch of salt,but someone made me to resort to figures as an evidence of development.That apart,are you Ghanian or are you just been sympathetic?lol

Otunba, like most Nigerians will spit evil over countries like Ghana and South Africa yet, they can't leave these countries and go back to their heavenly nigeria. SMH.

It's clear most Nigerians are moving to Ghana in search of betta life and education, instead of praying for your country (nigeria) wit all the bombings going on, u here bad-mouthing Ghana as if thts your daily bread and to think the dude posted his comments twice cuz his first post wuzn' thick enuf. , and wtf furk have Ghanaian gurls got to do wit this, there are cheap gurls everywhere, so banging dem gurls ain' no achievement u dumbo. Aids?  Are u gonna compare Ghana wit Nigeria on tht? Dude, u'z a waste


Bombs going off everywhere in your country and u here tlkn bull. U have no right kwashia like u

medube: Ghana! Why Can't Nigeria Be Like That

Hi all,

Happy New Year! Hope you all had nice holidays.

I recently went to Accra, Ghana with my wife and daughter for the Xmas and New Year holidays. What can I say, I was so shocked and wondered if we were on the same continent with them. It was hard to believe that these were the same people we flushed out of Nigeria in the late 70s and early 80s in trucks and tippers.

Everything is so organised and so stright forward. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly it was unbelievable. Life is reasonably cheaper and more relaxing than Naija. You come home there is constant power. YOu drive anyhow on the street and you are given an alcohol test, if you fail you face a jail sentence of 3 months. Petrol stations are open 24 hours a day with built in supermarkets like Europe. The whole city works on traffic lights 24 hrs a day. The police ar friendly and do not disturb anyone, infact every police station has a telephone number for emergencies. Crime rate is very very low and infact its sad to know that all crime there are commited by Nigerians or Liberian refugees. I put on the news one day and found out they caught a gang of 12 robbers terrorising KUmasi in which 9 were Nigerians.

HOnestly I can go on and on and on, but I think experience is the best teacher. If any of you have any holidays, pay a visit to Accra and you will never regret. I am buying a house there and sending my family there by the middle of this year. I met a lot of Nigerians who have houses there and their families there while they work here. I met a lot who are sending their children to school there and they come here on holidays because education is better. It is very sad, but the truth is painful. As much as you love and care for Nigeria, you don't get that in return

Medube
