geez bro,am a Ghanaian who randomly stumbled on this site and that dude worworboy or whatever has been hating on Ghana ever since and there are about five of them who troll anything about Ghana on this site.
Their shear hatred for Ghana can give them a heart attack cos anytime Ghana is mentioned, they're there to attack.I don't know maybe a Ghanaian once took his girlfriend so he has been bitter since.So it's not about you or against you that he's fighting buh he's strongly fighting because you have praised his sworn enemy which is Ghana buh the funny thing is he has never stepped his broke azz foot in Ghana before buh he hates this country soo much buh he has never seen before. Leave him to wallow in grief and self-hatred.Ghana is bigger than his entire generational line or anything he can imagine.

Feel free to enjoy Ghana as much as you can.We're all one
i learn everything from you Chris remember? grin grin

You can get kenkey and other Ghanaian meals at Yaba, on the side street beside the petrol station that's opposite the Tejuosho market complex. The seller is there from 6/7pm each day.

You are dumb very dumb.
Comparing Ghana a country with 30 million+ plus people to Nigeria a country with 190 million + people shocked shocked

Are you even normal, isn't it obvious? The former stand a better chance of living than the latter.

And yet, you still have the nerve to talk about IQ ? when you have nothing in that empty head of yours.
Carry your fish brain away from me asap. grin grin



You have no reasonable argument!

If you haven't left this country you will remain ignorant and argue blindly.

If I say India is better than Nigeria, you will still come out to say nonsense pointing out how India is a dirty country forgetting that they have almost x6 of our population.

Take it or leave it, Nigeria is a severely messed up country.

We shouldn't come to a social media and start to insult ourselves. The truth is when you are a traveller,you are more experienced. I have been and lived in Accra. Ghana is way far better than Nigeria interms of economy.
1Ghanaian cedis=63naira
Ghana has a very constant power supply= Nigeria dont
Good roads=Nigeria dont
1kilo of turkey 12cedis (756naira)= naija (1400)
Ghana cedis is the 3rd strongest currency in Africa= Nigerian naira is not in the first 20 in Africa
They rarely grant Nigerians living in Nigeria visas to other countries= Ghanaian passport has edge
The reasons why you see that Nigerians are very high in Ghana prision is that more than a hundred of times Nigerians have been caught stealing with live raffles, if u visit Accra and know circle u will understand what i am talking about. Pick pockets, and whole lots of criminal stuffs at gun points.
The truth is that Nigerian economy is on a stand still while other countries are growingup. Nigeria gives out light to these west African countries yet no light in naija. Why do you think its only during festive period that they give us light steadily, after the festive period they go back to normal. Its called witchcraft. Generators should be banned from the country completely not even the politicians should use generator so that when there is no light everyone should be in darkness. My brother,Nigerians are very hard working and are knowning for greatness in Africa and the world. Im a proud Nigerian but the system do not work. The govt is the problem,no country on earth is worst than my beloved country Nigeria. How can we be living in this digital world and manifesting in an analog system? God bless naija

Bullshit. Why the hell are you behaving as if 8 months is enough time to form a reasonably general opinion of Ghanaians? Do you not know he experience in Ghana depends on where you life?
Do you feel better now after spewing all that trash about Nigeria? As much as you can speak of your admiration for Ghanaians without openly dragging the name of Nigeria through the mud, you can also address the other guy's low-self esteem comment. And what is it with, if not for my parents I would rather be a Ghanaian? I understand the state of the country frustrates you as it does most of us, but what bullshit statement is that.
Lastly, there's not much difference between Ghanaian and Nigerian Jollof, especially the comparing the party-standard. Or perhaps the person that does ur Jollof in Nigeria is just not at it.
SaintsSamurai:
Is it the Jollof rice that is paining you?

Nigeria is my country but you all will jump at mentions of people that dares to say it as it is and when it's not in the favour of NIGERIANS. Crackheads like you will start talking about low self-esteem.

Mr Suffer and smiling, have you been to Ghana?
Have you tasted their Jollof rice?

If "No" is your answer then kindly shot the fork up and go drink water.

I didn't even talk about the hundreds of ways why Ghana is more better than Nigeria.

Can you take a stroll by 11 to 3 in the middle of the night in anywhere in Nigeria without getting attacked by cultist, agberos, thiefs, Police, SARS, army, armed robbers and Even Evil spirits?

But in Ghana, I've walked in Ghana in the street where i resided at 11 at night, I've booked an Uber on many occasions by 11 to 12 midnight and they came in less than 20 minutes to my service, we have droved in a car in Ghana by 3 to 4 in the morning when coming from the club or all night Church service.

No police or cultist harassment, no seeing of Evil spirits like in Nigeria. grin

Should we talk about electricity?

Last year i lived in Ghana for about 8 months and no sign of Generator noise.
It was 24/7 electricity nonstop.

Should we talk about how Good their roads are?

How they obey traffic rules.

Should we talk about how nice they are?

The earlier Nigerians face the Truth that Nigeria is a zoo, NIGERIA is one of the worst country on Earth, the better for we.

If we don't fight the government now and take a stand against corruption then the suffer continues.

If not for my family and loved ones and my good friends, i would have prefer to be born as a Ghanaian than a Nigerian.

So don't quote me and tell me Rubbish.

Nonsense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your pickpocket story is not entirely true, although I will admit there are a lot of Nigerians in Ghanaian prisons. Most of those pickpockets are not Nigerians, and that's a fact. Don't vlcone here and tell us what someone told you.
We have discussed and clarified the issue of currency several times here, why are you still bringing it up? The denominations were changed in 2007, 4 zeros were literally cancelled from each note. Does that change the actual value of their money? Capital No.

That's if you even understand Twi remotely. grin. And good question.The value of a currency lies in the actual economic exchange. There are several indicators that show this. One useful indicator is rate of erosion of the exchange over time. You can check which of the two currencies has eroded the most overtime. Note, w are talking about rate here.

I laugh in Ga. Take am easy ooo. 4 decades! If that is true, I salute you, you try. I mean, we could decide to cancel the 3 zeros on our 1000 Naira more. I may not have stayed in Ghana as long as you did, but i was in Ghana before 2007, and i know that the largest denomination was the 20000 Cedi more and a dollar went for about 8000 Cedis. When those zeros were cancelled, the dollar began changing at around 0.8 Cedis. That was not the hand of the financial market. In fact the bad economic situation-which included inflation- was the reason for that move. My point is the strength of a currency cannot be directly measured from the exchange rate.

What is the there to defend Nigeria for when Nigeria has already been shared among the politicians, their families and allies.let me shock you,me and you are only claiming Nigeria, even the politicians have sidelined us,be deceiving yourself and be claiming patriotism( I was highly patriotic before though) for a country who doesn't give a damn about you and me. I AM ASHAMED TO BE A NIGERIA.May God bless Ghana and Ghana leaders for standing out tall

Please guys this question is for anybody who knows.
I plan to move to Ghana later this year, please what's the house rent rate like in Ghana for a year and where's the best place to reside as a Nigerian in Ghana?
Like how much will it cost to settle down and live comfortably for two months before starting to work/Hustle?
