virgo: I admire your patriotism, but a line must always be drawn between falsehood and truth.

1) Azonto is not the only dance favoured in Nigeria. Like Makossa, it is one of those foreign dances that Nigerians fell in love with, and like Makossa, it will be also be forgotten. Meanwhile, I hope you understand that Nigerians enjoy other local dances too, e.g Etighi and Alanta

2) Ghana did not give Nigeria star beer. I don't know where you got your facts from. Star Lager beer was first brewed in Nigeria in 1949 by the Nigerian Breweries Company while Ghana only saw it 11 years later in 1960. Since you love google so much, you should know this.

3) Jollof rice did not originate from Ghana. It is believed to have originated from the Wolof tribe in Gambia before spreading to other parts of West Africa.

4) Pidgin English did not originate from Ghana dear "Chale". Pidgin English which is a form of simplified speech that involves two languages being mixed together to form a basic vocabulary exists in countries around the world. From Hawaii Creole to Sierra Leone Creole, countries have their own peculiar brand of pidgin English. As a matter of fact, it can be said that most Ghanaians have resorted to speaking Nigerian pidgin as a result of the Nigerian musical influence in Ghana. Words peculiar to Nigerian language which is present in our brand of pidgin is being copied by Ghanaians. I once read an article by a Ghanaian bemoaning this fact. But hey, influences go both ways, right?

5) Education? How on earth is that possible? Except Ghana and not Britain colonized Nigeria. Besides, Britain only brought Western civilization and education. Nigeria boasted advanced cultures and civilizations from the Nok culture that influenced the Bantu tribes and taught them iron making skills that they used to displace the tribes they met during their trek from Benue, Cross River down to the Congo and all the way to South Africa, the Oyo Empire which conquered territories to Dahomey (present day Benin Republic), Arochukwu, Kanem Bornu Empire, Old Benin Empire. Ghana cannot stand Nigeria in terms of ancient civilizations. Nigerian cultures have influenced countries worldwide. From Brazil to America, you find cultures that are based on Nigerian folklores and traditions. Also in modern times, Nigeria has produced scholars recognized worldwide more than Ghana. So you need to thread carefully with your education claim.

6) Garri was invented by Ghana? What a ridiculous and even ludicrous claim. Garri, a product made from Cassava which is a staple diet in most West African countries did not originate from Ghana. You can take out the extra "i" in it, it does not make it your creation.


Now lets talk about Alomo Bitters and High life mmusic. Alomo is a Ghanaian export, but so are the Dangote brands of sugar, cement, carton juices, spaghetti and rice sold in Ghana, Nigerian exports but you don't hear Nigerians bleating about it, do you?

Yes Highlife originated in Ghana and was enjoyed at some point in Nigeria, but so have new generation Nigerian artists taken over your musical scene.


About your "master" claim as a result of slave trade. Well, during the slave trade, there were numerous slave ports, according to your link, it was the Portugese that sold some Hausa slaves (who were themselves bought from Hausa slave traders anyway) to Akan middle men to be traded at El Mina. From your words, one might be tempted to think that the people of the Akan tribe came to the area that is now known as Nigeria to fight and capture slaves. Misleading. As for the moving of slaves from other African tribes to slave ports, it happened in Badagry where slaves from Alladah and Ouidah tribes (taken over by Dahomey) as well as other West African tribes were sold but Nigerians don't go to Ghanaian websites to boast about this. It was a dark part of our history. I wonder why any sane person would want to celebrate it.

I have also heard you talk about the independence thing when you used the Smoothcrim handle. You used to go on and on about how Ghana helped Nigeria achieve independence. Like other facts you presented, that is also laughable. Your much revered Kwame Nkrumah admitted in his autobiography that he was influenced by the nationalism of Nigeria's Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe who had graduated from Lincoln University Pennsylvania years before him and was the editor of Ghana's anti-colonialist newspaper "the African Morning Post."

Nigeria and Ghana were supposed to be granted independence at same time - 1957, but due to a misunderstanding between the regional leaders of Northern and Southern Nigeria, we got it in 1960. So next time, you are tempted to lie that you helped us gain independence, you can just come back here and read up again.


No hard feelings though. I believe cultures influence each other and for countries like Ghana and Nigeria that enjoy pissing contests every now and then, the rivalry is normal. I just take issues with your misrepresenting facts.

It's evident you've tried very hard to deny the obvious.

Star beer is from Ghana, just like Kente cloth. Give me a web link that proves otherwise.

Nigeria Brewery produces Star Beer (including other non-Nigerian/foreign brands) UNDER LICENSE.

jrtorrents: Nigerian's obsession with Ghana is just amazing !
How did a concert in Ghana end up on Nairaland? Because Nigerian artists are involved?
Such a useless 419 nation of crooks

Aren't they all?

Tiny Ghana always causes mayhem when mentioned on NL. There must be a valid reason why.

Ricky_Ross: I have been to Kenya with my family for 30 whole days and there was no single power outage throughout our stay in Kenya, whereas in Ghana the light goes on and off daily. Kenya has really developed cities and world class infrastructure, but you can never see them challenging Nigerians, it is the poor rats from our backyard that come to Nigerian website daily to talk shit... W

Why don't you stay in your Nigeria and enjoy your "world class" infrastructure instead of running around the world with your BIG and LOUD MOUTH

Ricky_Ross: Also, IMO CONCORDE HOTEL is STATE OWNED, IT BELONGS TO IMO STATE 100%, can you show us any federal or regional government hotel in Ghana? Can any region in Ghana afford imo Concorde?

Godogwu: LOL!!! this guy, the only reason azonto "Ghana's pride" got anywhere is because Nigerians actually liked it. If we didn't it would have started and ended in Ghana. Finally, stop dreaming Ghana's whole entertainment industry isn't even as big as half that of Nigeria's. Bye now

Lets see. We gave you Azonto and you love it just like how we gave you...

1) Star Beer
2) Highlife music
3) Jollof rice
4) Alomo Bitters
5) Pidgin English
6) Education
7) Gari -- Yes, Ghana invented Gari and the correct spelling is with a single "r"

There's more but I'm tired of typing

So as you can see, Nigeria's fascination with Ghana is because we are your masters. In fact, Ghanaians (Akans) used Nigerian slaves in the 1500s:

"a great number of slaves who were bartered very profitably at El Mina. The labor of these slaves enabled the Akan to expand gold production by developing deep-level mining in addition to panning alluvial soils. Even more importantly, slave labor enabled the Akan to undertake the immensely laborious task of clearing the dense forests of southern Ghana for farming.."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana%E2%80%93Nigeria_relations

Godogwu: what sort of dry joke is this?? please don't even begin to compare Nigeria to Ghana...PLEASE!!!!!

We are not comparing Nigeria to Ghana. We are putting Nigeria, the biggest slum in West Africa, in its place.

manny4life: You people have started again abi?

My fellow naija people, yall should ignore these guys, yes Ghana music rules over Nigeria, they win

There are certain issues or should I say facts that shouldn't be argued with, if self praise will help them heal their egos, so be it. Yall should not engage them, what a nice thread that some hateful persons wanna hijack it.

Look at the pot calling the kettle black. Whose ego is the GIANT in Africa? (pun intended).

afam4eva: It's funny that Psquare can fill a standard stadium in other countries but Psquare, 2face, Flavour and D Banj combined cannot do the same in Nigeria despite the fact that we have a huge population.

Because your huge population don't have time and money. Y'all too busy looking for fuel for your generators.

sadeiyare: Ghanians patronize niaja entertainment more than theirs, you need to be in ghana to understand

And Nigerians patronize American music than they do their own. You need to be in Nigeria to understand.

fork adict: God bless you for this.
Thos twins are so overhyped. Most of their work are copyright violations. The latest is their stoooopid and crapy alingo where they copied Timaya's bum bum melody.
I feel their vidoes are nice sha. but their songs are whacked and have the tendency to wear you out after a very short while.

If you see this baby.. Tell am say... She must chop my money ...Chop my money

Haven't we heard a 419 song called "chop your dollar"? What's with Nigerians and always choping someone's money?

NYgirl: listening to u guys TRYING speaking pidgin.

Haaa, so you think pidgin originated from Nigeria? How old are you, 10?

----------
West African Pidgin English, also called Guinea Coast Creole English, was the lingua franca, or language of commerce, spoken along the West African coast during the period of the Atlantic slave trade. British slave merchants and local African traders developed this language in the coastal areas in order to facilitate their commercial exchanges, but it quickly spread up the river systems into the West African interior because of its value as a trade language among Africans of different tribes. Later in its history, this useful trading language was adopted as a native language by new communities of Africans and mixed-race people living in coastal slave trading bases like James Island, Bunce Island, [size=14pt]Elmina Castle, Cape Coast Castle (IN GHANA)[/size], and Anomabu. At that point, it became a creole language (see oo... we even developed creole).

Some scholars call this language "West African Pidgin English" to emphasize its role as a lingua franca pidgin used for trading. Others call it "Guinea Coast Creole English" to emphasize its role as a creole native language spoken in and around the coastal slave castles and slave trading centers by people permanently based there.

rampant lover: So what makes Nigeria da giant of Africa

P-fvcking-square lol.

cameronese: The poverty level in Ghana is heartbreaking. One day I was walking around the city and happened upon an abandoned railroad station called Kantamanto. Over four thousand homeless people were living there. All around, people were wandering around half-dressed begging for food or money. There was burning trash and feces everywhere. It was one of the saddest things I've ever seen

And there's no such sight of poverty in Cameroon or Nigeria. Dude, pass around whatever good shiet you're smoking. I want some!

By the way, i heard there's a mega giant slum on the shores of Lagos, in a country known as the shitty giant of africa lol. If you look around, you can see a few of P-Square's illegitimate kids.

DAMN!! with all your oil wealth for the past 50 years, y'all live in a SHIITHOLE.

I'm more inclined to side with that explanation. It's different from a "pregnancy" as we know it.

It's biologically impossible for a baby to be pregnant. God's design of the human body went through several quality control checks to prevent such things.

For chrisakes, you mean to tell me she was carrying eggs while in mama's womb, which inadvertently got fertilized? IMPOSSIBLE!
