Unfuckingbelievable! Don’t Nigerians have better use of their time? What is this obsession with Ghana?Ghana this,Ghana that! Can’t believe this rubbish I am reading on this site! Ghanaians are busy trying to fix their country and Nigerians are busy running their mouths, as usual.

Who cares whether Ghana is better tha Nigeria or vice versa? What is the relevance of this argument? We all know where people are going these days. Do you all think the dozens of flights from Nigeria to Accra; ABC, Chisco and all the Nigerian transporters operate several buses daily on the Accra-Lagos route. Do you know the number of Nigerians trooping to ‘small’, ‘inconsequential’ ‘impoverished’ Ghana every day? Give me a break,folks. You all can say whatever –it is your prerogative after all- but your delusional attitude is grossly misplaced and sickening!

Ruq or whatever you call yourself.When you spew your rubbish you expect everyone to accept it as the gospel truth and yet see contrary opinions as lies,huh? Folks like you should take responsibility for what your country has become today.What a shame!

I need to say a few things here. I lived in Nigeria until a four weeks ago when I moved back to Ghana.While in Nigeria,a lot of Nigerians openly declared their support for opponents of Ghana whenever Ghana played.Some Nigerians openly expressed their hatred for Ghana and made a lot of cynical comments especially when contributing to matches involving Ghana.Yes they was unmistakable animosity among Nigerian fans toward Ghana.I know that as a fact. During the African Cup of Nations 2008-hosted by Ghana-I was attending a meeting at the Merit House in Abuja while Ghana was playing Guinea in the opening match. I came out of the hall and saw the security guys watching the match on a small telly. I asked what the score was.One guard retorted,"it is nil-nil but I want Ghana to lose." I said thank you and left. was in Lagos during the CAN hosted by Senegal.Ghana lost to Ivory Coast via penalties. I was driving along Awolowo Road when a loud cheer went up. And when I asked folks what was happening they told me Ivory Coast had won! even during the last youth championship in Egypt lots of Nigerians supported Brazil again Ghana in the final.

I haven't seen folks fly their national flag the way I have seen in Ghana. Virtually every vehicle and house carries at least a flag-seen some cars with 2 or 3.The atmosphere is simply incredible!I haven't heard that much talk about Nigeria in the media here so far. My suggestion is that Nigerians have the right to support whichever team they want to support,it wont change the fortunes of Ghana anyway. And so long as they express themselves devoid of insults or denigrating comments then I don't have a problem with that

I don't really don't care if Nigerians support Ghana or not.I am rather appalled by the attempt to project this "hatred" as a purely Ghanaian phenomenon. Perhaps some Ghanaians may support teams playing Nigeria but it is obvious that yo don't hear the kinda of xenophobic comments you tend to hear on radio stations likeNigeria's Brilla FM in Ghana. Often, the talk is about the Black Stars.Ghanaians sole obsession is with their own national team.

Pathetic, indeed very pathetic! H-u-r-r-a-y! Let's celebrate the fact that the Ghanaian economy is not doing so well after all. But I have a simple question for you. Is the Nigerian economy doing very well?

I was in Nigeria two weeks ago and arrived in Ghana about a week ago. I was struck by the vibrancy in the Ghanaian system. The statistics don't tell the true story.I can tell anyone who cares to listen that things are moving in the right direction here in Ghana. Brand new cars,new magnificent shopping malls,mansions,a boom in the real estate industry, descent salaries etc.It may not sound like a big deal but arriving from Nigeria I think the current atmosphere in Ghana is very, very positive.I have seen lots of oil companies making their presence felt in Ghana. Generally things are really looking up for Ghana at the moment. I also think the oil industry will significantly transform the Ghanaian economy. And nobody should under-rate the impact of oil and gas.

Nigeria and Nigerians know everything and are the best in everything they do and don't need to learn from anybody.

Ghanaians on the other hand are humble enough to know that success comes from hard work, determination and the will to die for the motherland. Nigeria obviously has its own way of doing things.If Nigerians think they can learn a thing or two from Ghanaians, I don't think Ghanaians have any particular problem with that. But as we know too often on this forum, some folks simply can't stand the idea that Nigeria can learn a few things from Ghana. just watch out for some of the comments that will follow soon.

Akwasi, why waste your time? We've got our three solid points-the first so far by an African side- and looking good for the next round. What is more important than that? Let those who want to hate hate. As we say here in Ghana, it doesn't even touch our shirts. I pray they don't die of needless heart attack sha! Hahahaha!


May God continue to bless Ghana! Congratulations!

Ghana oseeeeeeeeeee yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Ghana oooooooooooooooh Ghana fuo me ma mo mmo ne yo

Folks, Accra is jamming! Come and see cele! Hate Ghana? You are wasting your time.Absolutely! Ghanaians really don't care a hoot!

Taking it personal? you kidding me?


Deep down me I really don't expect any better from a bunch of Ghana haters! It's often hard to ignore the small-mindedness and negative obsession with Ghana here. But I have my own way of exacting vengeance-not on this forum.

As far as I'm concerned comparing Abuja with Accra is obscene. Abuja is not even up to the size of east legon. Abuja at the moment is a rather small area-from the villa you drive through the central business district which has buildings like Labour House and the CBN on the left and ends at the national hospital. This is a like a distance of about 6 or so kilometres.Even when you drive from Katampe to Apo it is still a relatively short distance. The jury is still out on Abuja.Let's wait a few more years and see what will happen. For now, Abuja has a few majestic buildings- I still don't understand why anyone wants to build high-rise buildings in a country notorious for power outages! I recall years ago when I had an office on the 7th floor of Labour house and was left panting every morning because the lifts never worked!

I'll definitely chose Accra over Abuja any day.Yes, we love our Accra,and we cherish our dear country!

Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates have each earned about one trillion dollars since both countries started producing oil.Ghana has not earned anything close to South Africa in terms of gold sales.I guess the poster doesn't even know the volume of gold the two countries produce,huh?

Yeah, typical Nigerian attitude. Most of you did not see anything wrong with the fact that the poster himself admitted he had never been to Accra, and yet was pretty emphatic that Abuja was by far a better simply because Accra is a Ghanaian city.That really was his point-in his simplistic and conceited mind how can Accra be better than Abuja? Anything Ghanaian is supposed to be inferior to Nigeria. Some impudence!

Somebody also mentioned the fact that Ghana is second to SA in term of gold production and all the , I was not referring to UAE vis-a-vis Nigeria within the context of two major oil producers. For your information Nigeria has earned the same amount of money, about one trillion dollars in today's terms, with the UAE over the past 50 years.That is a fact. What is not a fact is that Ghana's revenue from gold is nowhere near what SA earns from its gold resources. No basis for comparison.

And to the poster who says what Nigeria decides to do with its money its business, I say what Accra is equally nobody's business. Leave that for Ghanaians to worry about what Accra is. We all know Nigeria is the most beautiful country in the world-top class roads all over(including the Benin-Ore highway), water and electric power is available 24 hours, security is guaranteed and on top of it all, it is a land flowing with milk and honey.

naijaFrank, there is nothing social when Nigerians get to talk about Ghana and Ghanaians.Now if you read carefully through the post you’d find some comments that are very derogatory and offensive. You probably don’t know the animosities that exist on this forum toward anything Ghana. Read carefully once again through the posts and see what some myopic and ignorant people are talking about. Even the poster admitted that he/she had never been to Accra and yet formed his own conclusions about the place. Can you imagine that!

People that visit Ghana always come back with stories as though Ghana is a European Country.They make us feel like Ghana is far better than Nigeria.I am not one of those people that feel like Nigeria is a great place as it is today, but haba, how can Ghana be better than Nigeria?
I've not been to Ghana yet, so I wanna know and I am asking those that have been to both places:

I also believe Nigerians should be comparing Abuja with Dubai,not Accra. You know why? The United Arab Emirate-of which Dubai is a part- has made as much money from oil as Nigeria in the past 50 years. And while UAE has used its petrodollars to transform their country, Nigeria used its oil money to build a few blocks of flats in Abuja. As we all know, Abuja (the real Abuja) is a very small place-not up to a standard city if you ask me.

What kinda stupid thread is this? Monkey no fine efine for im mama,abi?

I am not aware that Ghanaians are complaining about Accra to Nigerians or Ghanaians have asked Nigerians to come build a new capital city for them.Don't you have more important things to do or say? Is Ghana competing with Nigeria over who has the more beautiful capital city?And what if Abuja is more beautiful? Is Abuja a fair representation of Nigeria? How many people live in Abuja? Only the Abuja city centre- a small area comprising-Maitama,Wuse,Garki,Wuye and Asokoro is developed. The entire Abuja city centre(from the presidential villa to city gate,from Katampe to Apo) is not even up to the size of east legon! The vast majority of your people in Abuja live in slums like Mararaba,Suleija,Nyanya and Kuje,One Man Village,Kuchingoro!

Abuja,just like the entire Nigerian phenomenon, is fake. Can anyone see anything Nigerian in Abuja? Nothing indigenous-everything from the concept to buildings were all borrowed from elsewhere.

By the way, with all the mountains of problems Nigeria faces, is it Abuja v Accra that is your obsession? You sound like someone whose head is filled with sand!

Ogogoro, apketeshie, sapele water, kparaga, kai-kai, short cut,shepe,agwanta,jipiti and push-me-push-you

My greatest wish is to see all Nigerians pull out their so-called investments from Ghana, even if for six months- and let’s see what impact that will have on the Ghanaian economy. In my opinion, that will settle the debate about how much ‘investment’ Nigerians are making in Ghana.

To the other fellow who says this is a Nigerian site and if we don’t like we should go away. Well, I have no problem with this being a Nigerian web site exclusively for Nigerians. But then you must as well talk solely about Nigeria. If you make other countries an issue then it no longer becomes a Nigerian site.For everyone who feels vilified has the right to hit back and in the manner he deems appropriate. We all don’t have the same temperament so blame the person who goes out of his/her way to start a quarrel. Search the thread; I did not start the insults. Go back and identify those who thought an innocuous request for information regarding a young Nigerian woman’s desire to relocate to Ghana was a perfect opportunity to exhibit their morbid hatred for the Motherland. I guess you guys didn't see that unwarranted attack on Ghana,huh? I only responded to it, so why blame me? I have the right to hit back and I will always exercise that right with the highest degree of passion, commitment and venom whether on nairaland or any where else. Again, what rubbish!

the feeling is mutual, Londoner. I hope you don't ever refer to me in your postings again,ever.

@ Londoner, who told you I'm being rational and unbiased? If it is about Ghana then you have my full attention. I have a duty as a very PROUD citizen of a great country called GHANA to defend my heritage. I owe no one an apology and I will do anything-including sacrificing my life- to defend the intergrity of my country. Does that sound like someone who'd like to please anyone? I stand by whatever I have posted on this forum. Rubbish. I realy don't care a hoot what you folks think about me,huh? So don't carry on with your rational and unbiased stuff,huh?Again, rubbish!

Hmmmm Londoner you want to take me on? I don't really have time for a worthless loser like your type.I dey kankpe, If you want a fight , ready any time.

Look my honest opinion is that Ghanaians and Nigerians can never get along, because we are very different people. Yes, very different. You guys can talk all the talk but the reality is that Nigeria can never claim to be better than Ghana today. Do you guys know that unemployment in Nigeria is officially 80%? Why do you think everyone is an okada rider, in fact some ‘university’ graduates charge cell phones to make a living in some of your major cities-because most people can’t even have electricity to charge their phones! And what about the army of kidnappers,ritualists and ‘armu’ robbers. Do you also know that 90% of Nigerians survive on less than $2 a day? I don’t even think you know the level of poverty in Nigeria and Ghana. And while Ghana is on track to meeting the MDG goals on key sectors like poverty alleviation,access to education(by the way the number of Nigerians seeking admission into Ghanaian schools is indeed very frightening), and health care while Nigeria is far, far behind and has no prospect of meeting any of the targets set out in the MDG programme.

I don’t give a damn whether you folks think Nigeria is better than Ghana or vice versa. Why should I care when the concern should be how many citizens or inhabitants have access to potable water,how effective is security for the ordinary citizen, how good are the roads, health care, how many people can afford food etc. I guess most of you look at how prosperous a country is by the number if mansions, skyscrapers, limos, how mighty and tall one’s gele is, how many citizens are able to block streets in the neighbourhood to throw those audacious parties. I don’t know how some of you measure prosperity, but I will advise you look for the UN human development index to see how Nigeria fares. I guess some of you know the truth but will never admit,huh? How many Nigerians have access to potable water, how many Nigerians can sleep with their two eyes closed at night, how many hours of public electricity (PHCN) can you get? What is the life expectancy in Nigeria, compared with other West African countries, especially Ghana?

For everyone, including Nigerians, we want to have a good life-drive on good roads,sleep with our two eyes shut at night, eat three descent meals,have good education for my children, and generally provide a standard of life that ensures that I stay healthy for many more years-enhancing my life expectancy. Which of these two countries provide these conditions better? Forget about the limos, the skyscrapers, the big agbadas,geles etc. What is a limo when there are no good roads to drive them on, what is a skyscraper when there is no electricity to power the lift to the 20th floor, for example. I have a lawyer friend from the east-an Igbo based in Abuja- he can’t even drive any of his powerful cars to his village! The ‘landlords’ will deal with him.

My candid advice is Nigeria has a lot of challenges-just like Ghana- and should focus on addressing them. This obsession with Ghana will not get your problems solved. As far as most of you are concerned, Nigeria is better than Ghana. If that makes you happy and helps to massage your zuma rock-like ego, fine. I know better!

Gbawe, I think you’ve got yourself a good wife. At least she can stand up for you.

Sonofpeace, don’t expose your ignorance,huh? The way you are going I wouldn’t be surprised if you end saying Nigeria owns the whole of Ghana,huh? Who told you that a Nigerian owns Tema refinery and the west African gas project? You sound very ignorant, just like a number of people posting comments on this thread. Go and find out who really owns the Tema refinery and wagp before you come here to post rubbish.

Blab bla bla. Ranting of ants,all sounds and fury,signifying nothing.

@Gbawe, let me tell you just a tiny bit of my own story. I lived in Nigeria for a while ( as a rep of an international group). I did some great things in your country and if I mention my name, lot of Nigerians will know me. Let me stop there for now. hopefully, I’d be able to tell you about some of the great things I did in your country soon and even tell you my name. As a matter of fact I am working on a very fascinating book on my experiences in Nigeria.
I accepted the job because Nigeria is closer home. Like you, I have a Nigerian wife and we have great kids. But I faced the same problems you are facing in Ghana in Nigeria! In fact I think I faced far worse treatment. I have observed that the rapport is often very good when nationality is not an issue. And for me, it was always ‘where do you come from’ on account of my distinctly foreign-sounding name. And then when I tell them I am from Ghana, the ‘I’m better off than you’ attitude sets in. So I didn’t tell people my nationality unless it was absolutely necessary. I also told my kids to tell their class mates they were Nigerians(at least their mom is one) to avoid a stigmatization. I can handle anything anyone can throw at me. I am very strong-willed individual with a no-nonsense attitude but the kids can’t. I also observed that most Nigerians have scant regard for Ghanaians. Watch TV,listen to radio or even listen to Nigerians talk generally about Ghana and Ghanaians. Now tell me, why will I have regard for anyone who does not show me sufficient respect? I have very little regard for people who ‘are full of themselves.’ Respect is mutual. I just returned to Ghana and I am loving every moment. I think you will be better off in Nigeria, believe me. Home is home,huh?

Ojigbijigbi. What are you guys smoking?

Nigerians and their overly hyped sense of importance- they are the best specie of homo sapiens ever created by papa God! Everyone else is inferior. Guys, watch your tongue because Nigeria is NOT better than Liberia,Ethiopia or Egypt. The only ingredient that sustains the stuttered Nigerian state is oil. Without oil Nigeria will be worse than Somalia. Today, nothing happens or works in Nigeria. Everyone waits for the end of the month to go to Abuja to collect their monthly federal allocation from oil revenues.

Don’t know why a Nigerian should feel he is better off than another African when all there is to Nigeria is oil, a product freely given by God. I think God wants to teach Nigerians a lesson in humility. God loves Ghanaians as much he loves Nigerians. Therefore for a Nigerian to open his mouth and make derogatory comments about Ghana and Ghanaians- a people created by God-can only invoke the anger of God as we are seeing now in the affairs of your country. If Nigerians claim they love their country then they should go down on their knees and pray for their country because the signs are ominous. The signs are indeed very worrisome and the next 15 months are going to very critical for Nigeria. Stop castigating and hating other Africans, particularly Ghanaians, and God will have mercy on your land. Continue in your ways and suffer the consequences….Wetin Ghana piple do una?


Do you folks know the number of Nigerians currently living in Ghana? Officially, there are well over two million Nigerians currently living in Ghana and thousands of Nigerians are crossing the border every single day. If Nigeria is better than Ghana, as some ignorant,arrogant and ill-informed people are often quick to suggest, then why is such heavy traffic from Nigeria to Ghana? Nigeria we wail theee.

what the heck is this hate-mongering and downright denigrating because a ghanaian won one meaningless amaa award? i don’t have a problem with folks criticising the award going to jackie, but trust folks to go beserk at the mention of ghana. obviously it wouldn’t have been a big deal if a kenyan or a zambian had won,huh? ranting of ants, all sounds and fury, signifying nothing. what rubbish!

@ Londoner, I am pretty much amused by your prejudices. It very obvious you don’t like Ghanaians that much. Well, that is your prerogative.

But I think you should pipe down on this stuff. It is really about a decision made by a five-man panel, I reckon. You can’t castigate Ghanaians for a decision reached by some small group of non-Ghanaians, can you?

Personally, if taking the title from Jackie and giving it to a Nigerian will make people happy and stop the Ghana-bashing in this thread, I will be very happy. It is not worth the hullabaloo. My personal opinion.
