Don't mind the OP, he's not telling people the truth. It's just like comparing Accra to Abuja. Only Accra is fine. If you go to cape coast it's just like you are in ilesa osun state. Nothing special and not hating. Been living here for the past 3 years. On appointment though and can't wait to return home biko

my dear everybody have regrets in life. even in america many are regreting their lifes over there while some are happy with their life. its destiny. it all depend on what you want in life. you regret yours here. while some are happy here. so you should not generalize things. ghana is not for you if you are not prepared. i will say it again. dont come here if you are not ready. get a handiwork before coming or you have money for business. dont just come here thinking here is heaven. ghana is just like every other place in the world. if you are not ready. you will suffer it. thanks

You are very stupid for your statement. I can see that you are politically foolish. Ask them if they execute the nonsense thing they put on paper for gullible idiot like you.

I am always shocked each time I read words like idiot, stupid or foolish on some threads.

Do you know that this thread could be used as an interesting topic of an academic essay?

Would you use words like stupid or idiot in an academic essay?

Speaking of being an idiot or a fool, this is something I have learned long ago:

Someone may be an idiot or stupid for not seeing the world under your perception. Conversely, you may be the one who is idiot or stupid for not seeing the world under their perception.

Are you one of the unserious Nigerian students that were rusticated or you didn't attend classes(thinking you will pay your way out as per Naija way) but got disappointed last last and was discharged with no certificate for all the dollars spent?

I hear you. How many years have you been living in Ghana. Smh. I know Ghana well and anything I say here it's what I know.
He's very right.

Education up to senior high school is very free in Ghana. The whole of Ghana not just Accra. It used to be just up to Junior high school but Nana Akufo Ado made a campaign promise of extending it to senior high school and that he did!!!!

The only hitch is that slots for Accra schools goes to the most intelligent students, the least academically inclined are posted to the villages and their parents would rather want their kids to school in Accra.

Comparing Ghanaian and Nigerian government schools is like comparing light and darkness. No basis. Ghana takes education very serious. They are not there yet but they are building structures and advancing, one step at a time.

you get it all wrong dear. ghanaians dont eat our rice. they have their own rice which is very cheap. why nigerian rice is expensive here is... we includes other thins, you have to pay for some fees on your way. remember you imported the rice. for your information, 21k is noting here is a cheap money here. we nigerians dont really eat ghana rice. so anywere you find nigerian rice is usually expensive. its the same all over the world. your local food outside the shores of country is usually expensive. you may not understand till you travle out.

Okay madam. I hear you. If education is so free why do the average Ghanaian want to send their children to private school. The primary education is a disaster as stated by some Ghanaian i have worked with and i am sure they are not lying. And this is one of the reason why most of them are working hard to send their children to school.

Also for your information, the free education in ghana is for newly entry student. The old students are still paying and thats why some Ghanaian are not having it funny

And do you also know that in some state in Nigeria that education is free? Up to secondary school too. Yes!

So we should stop painting our own country bad because whatever we say here will surely be used against us in the future

There's no over hyping. Cape coast is miles, thousands of miles ahead ilesa. Actually it's an insult to attempt to compare both.

Good road,Power, security, good governance aside, do you talk about it's brimming tourist attractions? Cape coast have more ngos with foreign volunteers yearly than the whole of Nigeria :- FACT.

We have not read or heard of those obroni volunteers getting kidnapped or missing. Try that in Nigeria. I run with a group of Chevron expats here in Lagos and on every run, we have dedicated number of mopol armed to the teeth as escort still man heart dey shake. cheesy

Whole of Nigeria? mbok. I hear you ohhh. Unfortunately, i dont have any point to buttress this your FACT but i am 100% certain that is not true. No one is doubting the tourist there but please spare me. There is nothing fancy in cape coast apart from the tourist attraction. Dry as hell, with bad roads, primitive people everywhere. For security, i dont live there so i can ascertain the security in that area.

Your friends send their wards to private schools because their wards didn't pass the entrance exams to top and highly competitive Ghana senior high school.

My grand daughter is currently at Accra girls and boy, she stands tall and proud besides her siblings here at one British private school collecting lots of $$$ per annum sad

No one is running Nigeria bad here. The country is BAD. No one was comparing Nigeria with Ghana, at least not me.

Ghana is not perfect but you see the citizens, Government, everyone trying to move their country forward. Drop trash on the floor and get abused even by a kid to pick it up, jump queues and get thrown out, get caught collecting bribe/abusing your position/breaking work ethics and get sacked, probed and imprisoned. Can same be said of Naija? (Since you have somehow roped me in into this Ghana V Naija thingy) my tenant in Lekki by_passed the meter I installed in the house and I got to know. I have called and emailed eko disco for over 2 weeks endlessly to report the matter but guess what they did? NOTHING. Try and touch your ECG connection in Ghana.

My sister, no one is comparing Ghana to Nigeria here because there is nothing to compare but Nigeria should not rush to Ghana thinking that all is well here. ECG connection, your country people touch it to. So no one is a saint,but unfortunately, Nigerians(Especially the youth) love to watch their linen outside so much for the world to see.

I am not saying Nigeria is not going through rough road right now but things would surely get better one day.

Please tell me the name of the school so that I can tell my Ghanaian driver to register his kids free. Liars everywhere. [/quote]
Adisadel College in Cape Coast is free,tell your driver to send his kid there,if they are smart.
Either your driver lies to you or you have an axe to grind.
I went to elementary and junior high in school in Ghana back in the early 2000s for free and not a penny was taken from me.

All these trash came out from you?

So why are you still in Ghana in the first place?

First of all Ghana is far better than nigeria .
That’s a fact and you can’t dispute that .

Secondly Ghana is expensive to nigerians because the naira has no value in Ghana.
The naira becomes useless as soon as it enters the shores of Ghana so obviously it’s gonna be expensive for you.
People from better countries with stronger currencies won’t say what you are saying .


You only found good roads in Accra?
What a dickhead. Hahahaha.
All the good roads in Ghana are not even in Accra.
So you think the roads in nigeria are better than those in Ghana?
How many better roads are in nigeria?
Even in Abuja and Lagos ,how many good roads are there?
There are more good and better roads in Ghana than in nigeria and that’s a fact.
Comparing roads in nigeria to that of Ghana is even laughable.


There’s constant electricity in Ghana and that’s the traits of all serious and advanced countries.

You can’t be comparing your country to others when you even lack common electricity.
You said the only thing Ghanaians can boast of is light.
At least that’s something most African countries lack so it’s worth boasting of.

But what can nigeria boast of apart from lack of electricity,abject poverty,insecurity and corruption?

Ghana police are far better than nigeria police.


Education in Ghana is not expensive.
From kindergarten to Senior high school is free in Ghana , you only pay fees when you get admission to further your education.

Ghana education is of quality that’s why Ghanaian schools and students are always first in WASSCE.

Ghana has the best education system in west Africa and among the best in Africa.

You invited your friend to join you in the village where you reside in Ghana and you are making noise over it meanwhile the worst places in west African are all located in nigeria .

Why do you think there are countless nigerians running to Ghana in daily basis and not the other way round ?

Comparing nigeria to Ghana is a great and big insult to Ghana and Ghanaians ,trust me.
[/s] You're the real dickhead
Couldn't you have made your points without insults??
I guess it's a trait you picked up in Ghana...

"Their students are always first in WASSCE" Indeed!
How come we don't ever get to hear about how they excel on the world stage in the news...?? Unlike the six Nigerian girls that did us proud in the US, by coming first in the contest they went for...
