We also fund a good percentage of their security budget.Nigeria is quantity over quality nothing else. Y'all did not save no one y'all raped young girls.

ROSSIKE: Liar. Liberians know NOTHING about any ''Ghana army''. Ghanaian soldiers were given the job of tea makers for Nigerian troops who did all the fighting, being the best trained and most highly equipped forces in West Africa.ECOMOG-Liberia ECOMOG / UNOMIL LIBERIA ECOMOG-Liberia Liberia is the oldest independent nation in West Africa, founded in 1822 for freed slaves from the Americas and given independence in 1847. But until 1980 when 28- year old Master- Sergeant Samuel Kanyon Doe overthrew Africa's oldest constitution in a military coup, economic, political and military power in the country was dominated by the America-Liberians, the freed slaves who constitute only 4 percent of the country's population. After flawed elections and an abortive coup attempt in 1985, the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL) led by Charles Taylor launched a rebellion from the bush in 1989. Lieutenant Prince Yormie Johnson broke away from the NPFL and formed the Independent National Patriotic Front of Liberia (INPFL). Other armed groups sprang up. A full- scale war broke out. Tens of thousands were displaced. The internally displaced population numbered about 700,000. Some 727,000 civilians also poured into neighbouring countries in search of peace and shelter. And in early August 1990, ECOWAS mini-summit was held in the Gambian capital of Banjul, from which was created a 4,000-strong ECOWAS Monitoring Group, ECOMOG. The force, drawn from Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone and the Gambia, was mandated to maintain law and peace, protect life and property, maintain essential services, provide security for the interim administration, observe elections and conduct normal police duties. The force, which became operative in late August 1990, was initially under the command of Ghana's Lt. General Arnold Quainoo, the Buffalo Soldier. He held the position for a brief period, less than a month. The Ghanaian commander was replaced by a Nigerian after President Doe was arrested at ECOMOG Headquarters by Prince Johnson INPFL and gruesomely murdered. The supporters of the assassinated president later organized their activities under the canopy known as the United Liberation Movement of democracy, ULIMO. The ECOMOG force grew in number and commitment as the years rolled by. By the time it ended its operation in Liberia in January 1999, ECOMOG had committed some 40,000 troops, the bulk of whom came from Nigeria. Ghana's contribution was 11,429, representing more than one-quarter of the total troops development. Some 36 Ghanaian soldiers lost their lives in the Liberian operation. ECOMOG carried war-mutilated Liberia to a relatively peaceful democratic election. It is difficult to imagine what Liberia would look like today if ECOMOG had not been invented. While the feuding factions in Liberia were put under the security guard of ECOMOG, West African leaders criss-crossed the sub-region looking for an answer to the Liberian puzzle. From Accra through Lome and Cotonou to Abuja and to Bamako, Liberia dominated the politics of the region. Ghana effectively participated in this shuttle diplomacy. Ghana's Foreign Minister, Mr. James Victor Gbeho, was named Special Representative of the Chairman of ECOWAS to Liberia between 1995 and 1996. ECOMOG was the lodestar for regional peacekeeping initiatives in Africa. On 22 September 1993 the Security Council adopted a resolution establishing the United Nations Observer Mission in Liberia, UNOMIL. It had the initial task of co-operating with ECOMOG in implementation of the Cotonou Peace Accord, which called for a ceasefire, demobilization and holding of elections. UNOMIL was the first UN peacekeeping mission undertaken in cooperation with a peacekeeping operation already set up by another organisation. UNOMIL worked closely and symbiotically with ECOMOG to bring Liberia to a state of near normalcy, dividing their labours in development, security, support services and humanitarian administration. For Ghana, ECOMOG provided the opportunity to test the potency of using an African peacekeeping force to an African problem. And the result has become a classroom for all to learn from. In ECOMOG, Ghanaian troops undertook daring operations- disarming, rescuing, escorting and distributing humanitarian supplies. Unlike some countries contingents in ECOMOG, the Ghanaian contingent never used arms to resolve an impasse. Towards the end of January 1999, Ghanabatt 15, less one company, was redeployed to Sierra Leone, despite Ghana's protests against the alleged involvement of Liberia in the Sierra Leonean conflict. One Ghanaian battalion remains in the country, as part of the UN Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL). Certainly, when the histories of Liberia and Sierra Leone come to be written, ECOMOG will feature prominently. And Ghanaian soldiers will take a front seat to tell the tale of a country disabled by a civil war that claimed 150,000 lives and led to a complete breakdown of law and order, exported its war to neighbouring Sierra http://www.gaf.mil.gh/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=25&Itemid=59 Ghanaian soldiers get UN peacekeeping medals in Liberia Page last updated at Friday, June 14, 2013 7:07 AM // Leave Your Comment Karin Landgren, Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) of the United Nations, has awarded Peacekeeping Medals to more than 700 Ghanaian peacekeepers for their outstanding service as part of the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL). “Since deploying its first troops to UNMIL in 2003, Ghana has remained a strong, reliable and dedicated partner in Liberia’s peace, stability and development,” the UN envoy said at a ceremony in Liberia’s frontier city of Ganta, to honour the Ghanaian soldiers for their dedicated service. A statement signed by Cynthia Prah, National Information Officer of the United Nations Information Centre in Accra and copied to the Ghana News Agency, on Thursday, said in addition to providing a large number of troops to UNMIL, Ghana has also made available highly qualified military and police officers, who have served the Mission in senior positions, including deputy force commanders, chiefs of staff forces and a police commissioner. The Ghanaian peacekeepers, had for the past five months been serving in various locations in Lofa, Bong and Nimba counties. Ms Landgren praised them for pursuing and upholding the noble values and traditions of peacekeeping. She commended the joint patrols and operations the Ghanaian soldiers had undertaken with their Liberian counterparts to remote and inaccessible parts of the country, especially along the borders with Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea and Sierra Leone to monitor cross-border activities and reassure the local population of their safety. “You and your national partners have played an essential role in protecting civilians along the fragile border with Côte d’Ivoire through Operation MAYO, which brings you together with the United Nations Operation in Côte d’Ivoire forces and Ivorian officials for information sharing and joint patrols,” the SRSG told the Ghanaian peacekeepers. Ms Landgren, who is also the Coordinator of UN Operations in Liberia, noted that in a few months Liberia and UNMIL would celebrate a decade of peace; at the same time. She said: “There is still more to be done in support of Liberia’s peace, security and development.” “Liberia’s security remains UNMIL’s top priority as we progress with the gradual and carefully planned transition of our security responsibilities to the Liberian authorities,” she added. http://www.ghanabusinessnews.com/2013/06/14/ghanaian-soldiers-get-un-peacekeeping-medals-in-liberia/#sthash.Nt3qtovM.dpuf |
ROSSIKE: Liar. Liberians know NOTHING about any ''Ghana army''. Ghanaian soldiers were given the job of tea makers for Nigerian troops who did all the fighting, being the best trained and most highly equipped forces in West Africa.Apparently you don't even know about the Liberian war. I have friends that survive that war. They tell me story about the war and horrendous things that Nigerian soldiers did. If you knew about the war you would know that war ended when America troops arrived when George bush asked Charles Taylor to live. Smh like a typical Nigerian always glory chasing. During the war where did most Liberians seek refuge not Nigeria. In fact anytime something bad occurs in any african country Ghana is the country where they seek refuge. |
ROSSIKE: There is NO SUCH THING as ''Nigerian wikipedia'', dummy. And where is the embellishment? As if Nigeria needs any embellishment to display her SENIORITY over you.Stupid nigerian, wikipedia really |
ROSSIKE: Look at this one from a lollypop army country like Ghana talking.Ask Liberians about Ghana army. They said Ghana and Senegal army were the most organized and they were of quality. Nigeria? What exactly did Nigeria do except fathered 500000 kids. They are uncultured, untrained uncivilized and above all nigerian. This is the country that put quantity over quality. |
ROSSIKE: ^^^ Ghana is worse than a sh1thole. It's tiny and insignificant in addition to being sh1tty.Military, Nigeria military is a joke. Bakassi anyone. Then your stupid government had the nerve to say France threatened to level Nigeria if it did give up bakassi. You guys are a joke. |
ROSSIKE: Number of universities: Nigeria 135, Ghana 2 or 3.Stupid nigerian Wikipedia really. Come on and on top of that you also embellish. Such a shame |
ROSSIKE: We REJECT your 'stupi.d ''dollar a day'' calculations which are utterly meaningless, as not even a BEGGAR in Nigeria lives on a dollar a day. As for other problems, AT LEAST GROW A BRAIN and go on the UNICEF website to see national stats and see where Nigeria stands and how much progress it is making before typing ignorant rubbish off the top of your head.Do your research and stop b.tching, the fact still remains 70% of your people live on less than a dollar a day, which is really a shame for a country with that vast resources. |
ROSSIKE: All WE care about is:List any positive thing in Africa and Ghana would be top ten list any negative thing in Africa and Nigeria would be top ten. Can we really call Nigeria a country. |
ROSSIKE: Your tiny Ghana sh1thole kenkey dustbin full of prostitutes is the real problem. Fu.cked up failed state with all the resources on earth yet power cuts in parliament and poverty throughout the country. Nation of failiures.. Tuifia kwa.The fact still remains 70% of Nigerians live on a dollar a day, the unemployment rate is above 50%, you have erratic power supply, no clean water, terror everywhere you go. Poorer education system. Does anything work in that country you call Nigeria. Is a damn shame that a country with a vast material and human resources can be that bad. Is really a shame and instead for y'all to hold your gov accountable you are over here fighting with innocent people. |
ROSSIKE: More shamelessness. 72% of Ghanaians is less than 17 million people. Halleluyah. Wonderful achievement!!Now understand I am arguing with a retard, no matter what your pop you should be able to cater for them, no one ask y'all to produce all them people if you can't provide for them. That's why we use percentage and not actual pop. If I have 5 children I have to work 5x as harder than someone who has 1 to provide for all of them. If I can't then I have failed. Thus why Nigeria is known as a failed country. |
ROSSIKE: Look at this deluded one. You have no shame. Talking garbage about Nigeria that is ten times bigger than Ghana, with ten times more mouths to feed. Of course Ghana should have less problems. Even more, you should be like a Kuwait or Saudi Arabia based on your tiny population and huge resources. But sadly your country is actually a disgrace. With your tiny 20 million population - less than Lagos, you are the world's largest exporter of cocoa, Africa's second biggest gold exporter after South Africa, a major exporter of manganese and iron ore, and now an oil and gas producer. Yet less than half your population is connected to the national electricity grid, with poverty rife throughout the country. Your villages are as backward and neglected as ever. The north of your country is like Somalia. What happened to all the money? The problem with your country is that people like you prefer to propagate the 'Ghana is an angelic country' myth, in order to feel good about yourselves, rather than ask hard questions of your leaders, and what they really do with all the money you make. Stay there comparing yourselves to Nigeria. By the ''criteria'' you listed, you are even more advanced than India, Brazil and most developing states with huge populations. I'm sure India has more bad roads, bad schools and more unelectrified homes and illiterates than Ghana.... But we know where India stands in relation to Ghana, ie more advanced than you. Nigeria is the same. More advanced than you even if you have a more 'satisfied' tiny population. We all know that you should be doing a LOT better considering your tiny population and massive resources. That's what should be concentrating your mind.72% of Ghanaians are connected to the national grid compare to the national grid and by 2020 100% will be connected. While in Nigeria it is 45% and they plan to get 75% of the pop connected. http://www.uneprisoe.org/~/media/Sites/Uneprisoe/Workshop%20Presentations%20(Powerpoints)/SE4%20All%20Presentations/abavana%20-%20electricity%20access%20progress%20in%20ghana.ashx http://www.dailytimes.com.ng/article/fg-targets-75-percent-rural-electrification-2020 |

Should Ghana be on the same level with Singapore, South Korea and all the other Asian tigers hell yeah. Is Ghana underperforming hell yeah. We know we are not where we want to be but we are trying and we strongly believe we will get there one day. Ghanaians are own biggest critics, most of the negative stories you find about Ghana are published by Ghanaians. Nigeria also should be at the same level with brazil and other countries. |
Theben: Jiggaman, I'm too tired to reply your lengthy post. Not that you actually won but I'm too stressed up to start digging for info and disputing the hogwash you wrote there. Tomorrow is another day. Good nightTheben, it is the truth, there are things Nigeria and Nigerians are good at and I will not dare compare Ghana to. When it comes to music and entertainment Ghana is no where near Nigeria and when it comes to business, Nigerians are also better. I strongly believe what I wrote to be true and I have envied nice to prove it. |
aliyagori:Ghana is no match for Nigeria when it comes to music. Nigeria rules and there is no competition here. |
Theben: Ever heard the word analogy? Nigeria is to Ghana as Germany is to Austria. Nigeria is bigger than Ghana in all ramifications. We are only rivals in football and that is where it ends. The only two African country that is near Nigeria in terms development are Egypt and South Africa.Nigeria is bigger than Ghana in only pop and land mass apart from that there is no competition. Ghana has lower crime, lower maternal mortality rate,better education system, better electrification, better access to water, better road network, safer, easy to be business, better organized, less corruption, higher life expectancy, and above all higher HDI. These are the things we judge a country on. While Nigeria GDP is bigger than Ghana's, we have higher per capital and our gini is very low. Ghana's economy is diverse while yours is oil base. In terms of movies, come on you can't be serious. Anyone can shoot movies with a cell phone camera. Which is what Nigerians are doing. Shoot so much movies with low quality, bad sound and illiterate actress and actors. We are talking about quality and yes Nigeria took over USA in movies because y'all produce so much with no direction. Nigeria si nowhere as developed as South Africa or Egypt. Nigeria is one of the least developed countries in west Africa. That's why your government takes y'all for a ride all the time, y'all don't hold your government accountable. Y'all believe in that giant of Africa mess that you don't understand that you are just a mess. Giant of delusion that's more like it. |
romeo: So in your warped mentality, it takes close to 30 minutes to settle guests into their rooms in Ghana? before you call the story bogus call the said issac and confirm the story. Would you?It is bogus because she claim racism and she lied that she wasn't welcomed because she was black. It could have been that they wer busy or just plain old incompetence on the part of the hotel management. It sure wasn't because she was black |
phantonce: what has beaten up white dude got to do with civilisation.Exactly see how daft some of these folks are, juggle laws, that's all Nigerians knows. Beating up someone is now a sign of superior complex. Smh |
Theben: www.nairaland.com/1577673/kenyans-surprised-jonathan-crew-visitedIs because Kenyans don't know about it and Nigerians don't really care about tarnishing Kenyans image. Trust me if a Kenyan finds the topic they will definitely hit back. Didn't Nigeria and Kenya have a twitter battle few months back. |
Theben: The use of generator would soon be a thing of the past. Besides, can you swear with your life that there are no generator users in Ghana? Is there electricity in every Ghanaian village? You should be ashamed that a state in your so called generator based economy is bigger than your well electrified economy.But Nigeria is non of these countries. Those country you mentioned can be compare to each other because they all developed and the only thing that separates them is land mass and pop but Ghana and Nigeria is like day and night and apart from pop and land mass Ghana is better in everything compare to Nigeria. |
You can't really compare Ghana to Nigeria. Nigeria is a bunch of villages put together and it is rule by jungle law. The better question is can we call Nigeria a country? In order to compare two things they must be similar. Apple and oranges, blue and red, Ghana and Ivory Coast. Nigeria on the other hand as we speak is not a country, so no comparison. |
safarigirl: just your U-20? What about others? PS our basketball team actually qualifies for tournaments, we're in Africa's top 5. I ask again, does Ghana even have a basketball team? @OMAR22, striker9 is Nigerian, he ain't no kwekuYou can't call that team, a basketball team where 99% of the team is foreign ball and they are not good. They were the Tahiti of basketball. We have boxing, field hockey, baseball, and others but I didn't include them because no one really cares about those sports except boxing. Which no country in africa comes close to Ghana. |
safarigirl: lol, dude, we know that black stars is the only functioning team in Ghana. Here, our U-17 boys win the World Cup once in every decade, our female teams in all age grades have more trophies than they want to count, we actually have an athlete capable of winning medals on the World stage, our wrestlers sweep gold medals at events, and oh, yeah, we have a BASKETBALL team, does Ghana have that? Why would our President focus solely on the Super Eagles when we have a myriad of medal-winning talents? Even the black stars don't have a medal to their name, or dem don dey dash medals to quarter-finalists at WC? He's just giving you guys false hopePlease safari don't insult basketball and call that team you got a basketball team. First of all did you not watch the Olympics. Our under 20 have been doing quite well, can't say the same for Nigeria. So yes we have lots going on but our focus will always be with the black stars. Maybe if Nigeria concentrated on super eagles then they will perform better. |
GH^KWAME:The story is bogus, who can't tell a Nigerian accent from American or British. The manager knew she wasn't white before she got to the hotel, so race had nothing to do with it. |
solomon111: Keep hiding your head in the sand.Yet there have white only restaurant, and so many atrocities done to Nigerians by white, Asians and Indians. Ghanaians are quick to handle any situation that arises. How many Chinese have Ghana deported for bad behaviors. Can and have Nigeria done the same. All you guys know how to do is point. Look what is going on around your country. Ghana is probably the only country in Africa that protects its citizens. Nigeria government and Nigerians care less about each other especially when money is involved. So don't make me laugh. |
chiefololade: Glad he won what? Do you read news at all?My bad thought he already won it, anyway it is just a matter of time. Just read the title then I went on to the comments. Wanted to pick a fight with my baby safarigirl |
safarigirl: AFCON 2006- zilch. AFCON 2010- zilch. AFCON 2012- silver. AFCON 2013- zilch. YAYA TOURE- overhyped underachiever.You can't compare any nigerian Player to yaya. Give credit where credit is due. Yaya deserve it and I am glad he won it. |
texaco1: and can't u see how people treat people that bleach in nigeria? And u can see that people that bleach even feel ashamed after because they are ridiculed every day. But in ghana the way ur men stoop low to kiss white men asses is totally disgraceful,and I always told them that in nigeria ,Nigerians don't respect white men and women the way they do. Go to osu and dankwa circle and. U will see what I am talking about ,I lived in ghana before for 4years so I know the way and manner which they think. The few people that always hold their head high and have sense of diginty in their color are the few educated people among the youth and older class. This is one of the reasons that gave chinesse men the guts to be chasing ghanians from their land with guns and even shooting ghanians despite the fact that they the chinese are doing illegal mining and destroying farmlands.The Chinese and the Lebanese do worst to Nigerians. Nigerians kiss white azzes more so than anyone. If y'all shamed bleachers then bleaching wouldn't be a problem and more girls wouldn't be bleaching. |
safarigirl: what I meant by 'talking' is 'talking football'. Goodluck doesn't prepare New Year messages to tell us how the SE will surprise the world at Brazil. Is Mahama scared? Is that why he keeps 'assuring' you guys that all will be well? If y'all are all that, you won't need to be told repeatedly, btw, GEJ hasn't been talking about letters, he only addressed it once.In Ghana we breath and eat anything blackstars. We love that team to death. Too bad Goodluck doesn't feel the same about the super eagles then again how can he? After all super eagles haven't proven anything in the past World Cup. |
nadesh: Date was 31st december,2013.Bullshit, anything to rubbish Ghana. That's why I can't take y'all Nigerians seriously. First you did not prove that you were disregarded because you were black. Could be that the manager was busy and couldn't attend to you, hence the reason he was at the bar instead of the reception desk. I am going to make one simple statement to prove that you are liar, paranoid and you already had perceive stereotype about Ghanaians before you step a foot in that hostel. Do you have an American accent or English accent, if you do not then trust me the manager knew that you were Nigerian and he didn't need to see your face to realize that you weren't white. Stop the bs and lies about Ghana. Is sad that your stupid brethren did not take their time to question your statements before they started insulting Ghanaians. |
amiskurie: that's the problem with ghanaians,they won't cease to be slaves to the whites.Not more so than Nigerians. Nigerians worship everything white. Why do you think your girls are all breaching. Inferiority complex is in all Nigerians. |
safarigirl: Why is their President always talking? So the man no get wetin e go do, na only football matter dey. No need to tell us, June is just 5 months away, na that time we go know who be whoHe doesn't talk more than Goodluck for the past months all we have had to hear him bitch about obasanjo and other crap. Like our president and 100% of Ghanaians we know we have the best team in Africa and we aren't scared of any team. |
mega showdown: The Ghana Meets Naija concert is largely regarded as a musical showdown aimed at settling the debate over who is supreme between two countries whose musical trends have continuously influenced and rivaled each other.
