ghana is so much more better than nigeria. more personal security in ghana, less armed robbery in ghana, virtually no kidnappings in ghana, far better governance in ghana, fewer cases of government officials stealing the people's money in ghana, less 419 by ghanaians at home or abroad, far more cases of drug trafficking abroad - if you don't believe, look at the number of nigerians in asian prisons namely singapore, thailand, south korea, etc, etc, and because of the 419 issue and drug trafficking abroad, nigerians are more a disgrace than ghanaians all over the world. people, including fellow africans are more suspicious of nigerians abroad. it is very clear, why did obama choose to visit ghana over nigeria? please, don't kill the messenger, i'm only adding my 2 kobo response 1 Like |

otumfour:Tell us, did he come to ask for more money to fund your budget or He came to pay home call on Pastor T.B. Joshua ? FYI, I have lots of Ghana matey in the UK but they are just "NEUTRAL" matey, nothing more than hey we both have black skins, (err maybe not the huge muscles ya got, ). Shame I have to say this, Ghana, SA and Jamaicans are the least of the black skin people I would call my own in the UK. Remember when some Ghanians came over to the UK to study construction management and I helped them srt out student jobs thinking we were one Africa but I was wrong. Remember when I was in university in england and the Ghanian dude was ranting about how Ghana was leading Africa and one of my course matey (white dude) that was chilaxing with us asked him how much was the average salary of a young graduate in Ghana and if Ghana has a space programme like some other African countries and the Ghana dude went quiet! |

angrynaija:Answer to your post in bold: OBAMA did not want to be seen as legitimizing the Presidency of the then President 'cos of the controversy that trailed that election. Glad He visited Ghana and not Nigeria 'cos at the end, we had the last laugh as Nigeria's President what invited to the white house for a more rewarding (as far as Nigeria and Nigerians are concerned) economic talks |

I bet you tell that to your parents everyday. Also , you will never find a direct personal insult in all of my posts on NL especially to an ordinary response from another person. That is the spirit of a well trained African (telling you because you never let us rest with your AA AA and slave trade slave trade and African Africa talking). But you will never get along/get love with/from Africans as you claim without respect. Mark my words. Ka da fun 'ya on' doti re. Olori 'bu' (you like that slang don't you. excoba101 will only teach ya when you start giving respect). |

Re: Ghana: A Contrary View by rhymz(m): 11:46am On Nov 23, 2010 |
The problem I have with many Nigerians like angrynaija and powerdude is that most of the times you premise your very childish criticisms on petty and useless whinnings and nothing of substance. No country in the world does not have its own share of societal ills, and it becomes worse when there is no good leadership. A lot of Nigerians are into scamming, identity theft, corruption etc., we don't deny that but don't make it sound like that is all there is to Nigeria. A lot of Nigerians are making efforts to distinguish themselves in a positive light in many spheres that are hardly gej mentioned, but when it comes whinning and complaining, you see some very ill-informed citizens come in packs to air their ignorance and misplaced anger. I always tell Nigerians that whine all the time that it will take more than just whinning and ill-informed arm-chair criticisms to make Nigeria what you want, they will have to start first by being patriotic to the pursuit of a better Nigeria. And that is where Ghana beats us hands down. You will never hear a Ghanaian make very dumb statements about the societal ills of Ghana like a lot of Nigerians do all the time or you lots think they don't have their own share of scammers and co? Yet they choose to highlight the positive side of Ghana which is what every outsider hears or knows about Ghana first hand. How many times do you lot hear of Bernad L Madoff's financial scam which till date is the biggest financial scam world over, add all Nigerian scammers put together the enormity of Madoff's scam will still topple them over. Yet we don't see Americans using that as an excuse to show indepence of opinions or as they always put it, "being liberally minded". Ghana is a great country in its own right and even Nigerians recognize that as is seen in the way we patronize their economy, thank God for them because a successful Ghana will be a bolster to every western African country. My problem most of the times with them is the way they yield to the temptation of putting Ghana up to make Nigeria look stupid or sth. Whether any African country likes it or not Nigeria still plays the biggest role in African politics and development, that is where the phrase "Giant of Africa" came from and not entirely because of her population. I always tell my African brothers that if you have committed so much to the peace and stability of the African continent like Nigeria has done, it will be so hard not to brag about it. Mohammed Ali once said if you have got his height, strength, knowledge, fame and reach, it will be so hard to be humble about yourself. Just as Nigeria has a lot of things to be ashamed of, likewise, there a million things to be proud of. If any Nigerian must criticize, it should be done constructively and from an informed standpoint, enough of all these childish temper tantrums, if Nigeria is a beast then you are a beast as well cos a beast begets a beast. |
Re: Ghana: A Contrary View by angrynaija: 2:46pm On Nov 23, 2010 |
@rhymz: rhymz, my bro, i perfectly understand where you are coming from, however, i think your are in denial. while we are on the topic of relating nigeria's issues to ghana and; whether or not ghana is better--- and not issues pertaining to the u.s. let me remind you again that nigeria's issues as a country are on a scale that singularly supercedes those of ghana or any other west african country. do we not have issues with corruption by government officials on a scale that truly boggles the mind? do we not have serious issues with persistent kidnappings? do we not have major issues with 419 throughout the world? which other african country is known around the world with these issues that even comes close on the scale that they exist with nigeria? i know we feel shameful when nigeria is talked about in a derisive manner, but being in denial will not help us. as you well know, being probably the most educated, and endowed with tons of natural resources, nigeria has the potential to really BE the 'giant of africa' as opposed to simply laying claim to the title by virtue of our population. and there in lies the problem---- we are so full of a thing called foolish pride. |

Re: Ghana: A Contrary View by rhymz(m): 5:47pm On Nov 23, 2010 |
angrynaija:. . .With all due respect, I am forced to ask you how old you are because you are not discussing like an informed adult. The import of my previous arguement with you is very simple but in your rush to reply me with your usual baseless complaints, it has gone over your head. In summary, I am saying just as our problems are in large scale, so are our developmental scale, strides and influence in Africa, so it is useless comparing Nigeria to Ghana and outlining only her weakness while playing dumb to its strength. As for the rest of your post, they are too jejune to give any serious reply to them, if you have gotten any better arguement than your usual boring list of complaints then we can talk. |
Re: Ghana: A Contrary View by angrynaija: 3:45am On Nov 24, 2010 |
@rhymz: so those issues i earlier mentioned are baseless? useless rhetoric and abhorrent ignorance as exemplified by you is just so typical of the problems with nigerians, however, i'm not going to dignify any of your insults by having further back and forth responses. keep living in denial, and perhaps you'll one day wake to the real issues confounding our country. today, ghana as a nation is better than nigeria in terms of better governance, personal security, illicit drug trafficking at home and abroad and other unmentionable ills that plague our nation. the mere mention of some of these drives to the the core of your being doesn't it? better to face the issues and deal with them than to attempt to sugar-coat the issues, my bro. |

Re: Ghana: A Contrary View by Ifygurl: 6:56pm On Nov 24, 2010 |
@ angrynaija Do honestly believe all this is happening JUST in Nigeria? Seriously? Do you know the names of African nations listed by FBI as countries to look out for especially for 419? Ghana, Nigeria, Cote D'ivoire, Senegal, Burkina Faso and other nation in Africa. Nigeria is know for it because Nigeria made it international (unfortunately), the same way Italians are known for mobs but they aren't the only ones involved in it. There's the Russian mob, Chinese mob and co. The same way Cubans are known for drug dealing but they aren't the only ones involved with it. Do honestly believe Nigeria is the only country doing 419? Do you know the list of corruption index included for Africa? Ethiopia, Tanzania, Gabon and co have less corruption than Nigeria. Do honestly believe those countries are doing better than Nigeria? Angola has a higher corruption that Nigeria yet that nation economy is skyrocketing. There isn't any African country doing better than Angola right now. Egypt has lower corruption index, higher crime rate than Ghana and i know for sure Ghana, Nigeria or anyother sub-Saharan African country is not doing better than Egypt I seriously do not think any of you guys research some stuff. I don't deny Nigeria is terribly in some ways and so is every nation in Africa but dude research your nation first or at least research other nations first before comparing. Like i said before, i think Nigeria just love uplifting stuff just because it's not in Nigeria. |

Re: Ghana: A Contrary View by rhymz(m): 9:36pm On Nov 24, 2010 |
Ifygurl:My sister pls help me tell the dude, he keeps making very spurious claims that will sound ridiculous when you want to start arguing it. Thank God you ve broken it in elementary terms for him to understand the folly of his very naive arguement. He talks about denying it like the manner he complains about it will ve any positive effect on it. You would only get derision and nothing more. Bad mouthing your country does not make you look any cooler, liberal or intelligent than those of us that have refused to take Ur path neither does it mean you are not in denial, it is just a useless venting exercise that will only have a placebo effect on you without taking away the problem. I wish the guy can understand that. Anyway, Ifygal, you ve made my day with your very persuasive comment. Thank you. Let's hope he will listen to his heart and not the sound of his pumping Adrenalin. |
