My brother light is everything and this is why it was the first thing God created...One love[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font][b][/b][color=#006600][/color]

[quote author=duullie88 post=55885119]

[color=#006600]Osun state.. I served dia.. dey have more than 6hrs of light at time dey don't take it for like 2weeks



2 weeks like seriously? The whole of Ghana boast of 24 hours stable power.......

[quote author=duullie88 post=55836312]

Security and peace... 1 of all dia is nothing g worth fighting for dia so no 1 is even bothered. . That's y dem get peace..
2.. power, I still say this; d amount of power consumed in lagos alone with all the industries and household ghana can not generate it.. ghana as nothing to be brot to comparison to Nigeria.. How many mega watts of power do dey generate and consume.. how many does Nigeria generate and consume. .reason am

Let a state in Nigeria boast of light first for 6 hours everyday, then come back here and tell me about consumption.

They were corrupt and even worse than we are, they killed their corrupt leaders, they murdered them instead of imprisonment "He who is without sin let him caste the first stone" go and read your history books

Very dumb comment, if Ghana attempt the level of corruption Nigeria has in one hour, they will sink and never recover. We killed our past leaders too yet we still 100 year behind Ghana. The fact that we comparing ourselves to Ghana means they won. Normally there was no basis for comparison in the first place because we are miles ahead in money and size but far way behind in security and electricity. Their bank still has sliding glasses not a bullet proof scanning doors...

My broda i be naija like you, and despite my deep love for my country, i will not be shy to say the truth,Ghana might be nothing to you but they can boast of peace and security, they can boast of steady electricity and very low corrupt government officials, with all our mineral resources we still can not enjoy common light. The fact that we can stoop so low to compare ourselves to Ghana means Ghana is doing something right.

Shut up ur gutter mouth, which stupid electoral system or human right.. is ghana even on d map.. even for Africa ghana o get mouth .. nothing major happens in africa without nigeria being involved

Your ignorance dey smell like public toilet, Ghana might be a small country,i repeat they are more organized than Nigeria. If you cant mention one thing you enjoy as a Nigerian then i suggest you go sleep for gutter. Come back with what you can boast of as a citizen of Nigeria and i will tell you ten things Ghanaian enjoy from there organized system. Idiot

[quote author=duullie88 post=55765689]Ghana this ,ghana that.. 4 God sake how can u compare ghana with Nigeria, like r u sleeping on a bicycle, abI u dey fetch water with basket. . Class,wealth,manpower,beauty,brains,entertainment,infastructure ,great african men, ppl wey dey talk like say teeth no complete 4 dia mouth.. any small tin dem go just dey shout charlie charlie (dat y dem look like charlie charlie).. even d so called electricity na wash..it is easier to furnish a 1 room apartment to taste than furnish an entire estate.. plug ghana source of electricity to Nigeria power grid and see if d power station no go xplode. .ghana airport is this, ghana sea port is dis.. D shipments tru 9ja ports a day Is equivalent to dia shipment in a year and 2days ;

I pray you receive sense. Even if we decide to compare a state in Nigeria to Ghana,no state is well organized like Ghana. Human right is more expressed in Ghana. Freedom of speech and a well coordinated electoral system.

[quote author=emmbet post=55746650]This issue of comparing Nigeria and Ghana has been over flogged and debated for a very long time.

As a Nigeria currently based in Ghana and married to a Ghanaian lady, I would say that:

Food: It depends on the cook like someone mentioned earlier and we can't factually opine that Nigerian food is better or Ghanaian food is better. But one thing that I know is a fact is that Nigeria has more variety in foods than Ghana.

Security: As the OP mentioned, Ghana is secure not because their security forces are that good but mostly because the crime wave is low and the average Ghanaian is more law abiding than the average Nigerian. They have more respect for constituted authority.
For starters, criminals in Nigeria are much more sophisticated than their Ghanaian counterparts. We have heard stories of robbers using explosives to rob banks in Nigeria but in Ghana, this does not happen. Ghanaian police does not yet have experience of these kind of violent and sophisticated crime operations. In Ghana, most banks don't use revolving doors like banks in Nigeria. Some even still use sliding glass doors.
The Ghanaian police are much more professional and cautious than their Nigerian counterparts. Countless times, they've let me off with just a warning and without paying a bribe.
I have also had a case where I paid for an apartment that was still occupied and after I reported to the Police, they did a professional job and made sure I got back my money.
Also, Ghanaian police does not harrass innocent citizens in checkpoints like Nigerian police. Once they see you respect them and have good manner of approach, you can get away with anything.

Road Networks: Yes it is true that most of the national highways in Ghana are single carriage ways. Roads like Aflao-Tema, Accra-Winneba-Cape Coast-Takoradi all the way to Cote d'Ivoire border are all mostly single carriage.
Also Accra-Kumasi-Kintampo-Tamale-Wale Wale-Bolgatanga till Burkina Faso border at Paga are all mostly single carriage ways. But the amazing thing is that most of these roads are well maintained and in good condition.
Nigeria has better road network than Ghana. Both innercity roads and national highways but Ghanaian highways are more maintained. This fact is not debatable.

Business climate: It is much more easier to run a business in Ghana than Nigeria. Only disadvantage in Ghana is their high capital requirement for foreigners to register business. But in terms of ease of doing business, Ghana is better in all ramifications and with less bureaucracy than Nigeria. When I was registering my company in Ghana, I lost my Tax Id No certificate which was given to me. I was surprised when I walked to the GRA office at Ministries in Accra and explained to someone there. He just asked for my name and checked it on the system and printed a new one for me. He did this within a minute and without asking for egunje.
It is also easier to clear goods from Tema port than it is from Lagos ports.
Startups have more likelihood of surviving in Ghana than in Nigeria and Ghanaian businesses men and women have more access to credit facilities than Nigeria.
The disadvantage in Ghana is that they don't have the population and purchasing power that we have in Nigeria. As a result of the high cost of living in Ghana, most households spend a higher percentage of their income on food alone and will have little or less to spend on other things that they don't consider important.
This is the reason why business moves faster in Nigeria than Ghana.

Cost of living: Ghana has a very high cost of living even with their stable electricity compared to Nigeria. Example, a bottle of coke in Ghana is about 2 cedis (200 naira) but in Nigeria now it is about 70-80 naira (0.7-0.8 cedis).
Also bottle of canned malta guiness goes for 150 naira retail in Nigeria but in Ghana, it is about 3 cedis (300 naira). I actually know a friend that imports drinks from Nigeria to sell in Ghana and he is making a killing from it.
This is the case in other goods and services.
In terms of transport, the fare from point A to point B are the same no matter the time of the day in Ghana unlike in Nigeria where this is not the case and before any increase in transport fares, the transport unions meet and agree on a particular amount to add to a specified route.
Their transport sector is more organized.
Coming to the airlines, they are never late. On many occasions that I have used African World Airlines and Starbow Airlines from Accra to Tamale, they are always on schedule. And even on the Accra-Lagos route, this is the same thing. We cannot say the same of Nigerian airlines like Arikair.

In summary, I would say that both countries have their weak and strong points. If Ghana had the money that Nigeria has earned over the years, they would have done better.
From what I can see, the achievements and heights that Ghana has reached is commensurate with their earnings over the years. They have achieved more with less while Nigeria has achieved less with much.

Just my 2 cents.

Very on point, best analysis so far....unbiased....I am a Nigerian for life....But i wont tolerate bunch of Nigerian Hypocrites..stay in your country if their food is horrible. For the little they have, they made the best of it.....What are we enjoying as Nigerians?

Best response and analysis so far......Am a Nigerian living in Ghana and must say this writer was just on point....Bunch of Nigerian Hypocrites, stay in Nigerian and enjoy your good food,stop condemning someone else source of satisfaction.

I really don't understand why we Nigerians prefer to let our emotions and religious bias over-ride our common sense. I say that with all due respect. What's the fuss? Why do we not always reason objectively?
Firstly, this regulation el-Rufai is proposing is a very great one...because we abuse religion and the rights to practice religion in this country. If you want to engage in religious acts, don't constitute public nuisance. A lot of people would be trampling on the fundamental rights of other people and be using religion to guilt those same people so that those people won't complain. If we all want to preach in our churches and mosques, that's great, but let's not use it to great a menace in the public.
Secondly, if we would all be truthful to ourselves, our Muslim brothers are even more guilty of using these public address systems, and that means it would affect them more now... therefore why are some Christian folks now trying to use sentiments to blackmail el-Rufai?
I respect prophet Suleiman a whole lot, but I don't support how he's going about this.

The Lord be el-Rufai and keep him safe in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.

God Bless Nigeria
