liken say ibo.s and ashantis have a similar geneology

Supposedly the annang have a connection to the twi in Ghana.( annang is a group that lives in the extreame southeast)
we don't look or act anything alike, but I was watching a documentary in Ghana and one man said "nohde" 'give me' in the exact same way we do.

Plus annang means forth son in twi. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I heard that the Ijaws are from Ghana

Are you just being euphemistic?

The Ogonis claim to be from Ghana.

Ga Adagbe people/Yoruba are one and same people just corruption in tongue!!!!!!!!

ga adagbe people have ancestral link to nigeria

Ghana hav ancestral links with Benin republic/Yoruba ask[b] MUSIWA[/b]

Egun people from badagry LG

Ogoni people migrated from what is known as Ghana. Infact, I heard there's a group in Ghana that's very similar to Ogoni.

I do not believe that mythology. Igbos have nothing in common with Ghanians. Igbos are located in the hinterland of Nigeria and no link with Ghana

all i kno is my grandparents grew up in Ghana, on my Dads eights birthday the gov't of ghana chased them back to Nigeria. Grandpa was upset cos him papa raised him in Ghana so going to naija was strange to him only for him to realise Nigeria is better He quickly got a job as a principal in lagos and fired all the Ghanaian teachers including kweku the bus driver My Dad used to tell us how happy nigerians were in GH they had a community and was having fun. his best friend was called Babatunde olorinla cos his head was as huge as a fan then oneday he fought with babatunde and they rushed him home. Next morning in class babatundes Dad called him and gave him yam and palm oil he left it and the goat that ate it died lol shey egbadun story yen

Hausas are frm Ghana. They PUNISH shoes a lot!

Calabar people Mainly we Annangs are related to the GHANAians TWI group. Akwa-Acquah , Essien.

I've never understood how all these different groups could so easily trace themselves so far outside of their locality. What is it that their ancestors did that ours did not, because for some Igbo groups, they can't trace themselves from anywhere other than their present locality. I guess they've been where they are for so long that they've lost all recollection of their forebears' migration.

I've not heard of this Ashanti-Igbo link before.

I heard the Yoruba and Ewe and another group have a lot in common. well i read this by Yorubas on Nairaland, so maybe.

I am not sure Yoruba are natives in Ghana , they are more less long time traders like Yorubas in Abdijan especially the Ejigbo people  or the Ogbomosos in Jos or Hausas in Agege. (The Adelumolos) Some people have their great grandpas born there in 1890s.

The Ashantis and Igbos have no historical links beyond what you would expect from two african tribes that live in the same region of Africa. The reason parrallels are drawn between the Asantis and Igbos is because, Like the Igbos, the Ashantis are renowned for their love of money. They control business and commerce in Ghana. And are generally regarded as greedy, shady, people with an insatiable lust for money who will no hesitate to screw you over for money. Ashantis are the tribe everybody loves to hate in Ghana.

But unlike the Igbos of Nigeria, Ashantis are also power brokers in Ghana. I mean political power. This goes way back to colonial times. Ashantis provided the strongest resistance to british colonialism and were british subjects only from 1901 after loosing the 3rd anglo-ashanti war. and in less than 40 years, they led the ghanaian push for independence. Ashanti land is also home of majority of Ghana's gold reserves. So in Ghana, the Ashantis are a powerful tribe. Politically and economically.

The Ga-Adangbes, a small tribe only significant because theirs is the land on which the Capital Accra is built, are said to have moved to their present location from the Yoruba region of Nigeria. They walked from modern day sudan, through Nigeria, to their current location in ghana. So they are said to be related to the Yoruba people of Nigeria.

ps. there is no language called Anago in Ghana. "Anago" is a slang term in Ghana used to refer to Nigerians as a whole. Like "Alata". But Anago is meant to be derogatory. So you won't hear it much in modern day ghana.

^^^Thanks for that correction, so anago is a derog like nigger, yanmirin, beerebe, ofe manu, ajokuta ma mumi, lol.
no wonder when we speak incorrect yoruba in those days my mum we say mi o gbo anago e  meaning i don't understand your anago.
I remeber also that they called our mothers, mummy arata (alata). We were told it came from a new yoruba woman who went to market to buy pepper, she diid not understand ashanti so she told pepper seller "A ra ata" - I want to buy pepper.
there are many other version too like "kara kata" or "aa ra aa ta" (buy and sell or trading) which most nigerians engaged in those days.

I'm one of the 3rd generation Hausa speaking Ghanaian. And I love it! As many have indicated. historically, many of the tribes in Ghana rather comes from Nigeria.

It is a historically fact that the Ga/Adangme came from Ile Ife in Nigeria. They settled in modern Accra after driving away the Fantis. When one visits Osu, one of the clans in Accra, there is a place called Alata and one can hear some traces of Yoruba in the Ga language especially when pouring libation to the gods.

The Gonjas in northern Ghana are believed to have linked to Northern Nigeria. The word is a Hausa word (Gwanja) which means trading. I was also told that the Dagombas came from Nigeria.

But apart from ancient history, Ghana and Nigeria have been linked in some many ways for years. In fact, West Africa is made of half Nigerians! Despite the infamous Aliens Compliance Order in the '70s by the Ghanaian government then, many Nigerians stayed and still influential in Ghanaian economy. Visit a place like Cowlane, Zongolane, Okaishie, Newtown (Lagostown) etc. one will understand what I'm talking about.

Without an iota of doubt,I strongly believe the Ga's are linked with Yoruba's. . .way of life,owabe,language are so much alike.

Absolutely correct. @OP,

The hausas behave like ghanian ,because they like shinning shoes like dem

The hausas behave like Ghanaian ,because they like shinning shoes like dem

Complexion wise. Sau koto/Sokoto and Kano 2 people are closer to them,

Socks wearing wise even in 40degrees Centigrade as well

Hausas and Fulanis were nomadic tribes. These two groups should not be thought of as originating from any of the countries in modern day west africa.

The reason is that these two nomadic tribes were spread across the entire region immediately south of sahara desert. When the europeans divided the region up, these Fulanis and Hausas became a part of whatever country the area they were living in became.

So it is incorrect to say the Hausas or Fulanis of Ghana originate from Nigeria or vice versa. They are just members of the same tribe who happen to have been caught up in different countries as the europeans divided the place up. Hausas and Fulanis are pretty much the same wherever you find them. Language, culture et al. Much like the Roma people of Europe. They are one ethnic group, no matter where you find them. It's incorrect to say gypsies of Bulgaria came from Romania.

The Hausa/Fulani influence is also why citizens from these two countries will find so many similarities between the two countries. For example, if you came to Ghana and you were served a dish of Tuo Zaafi, you might be tempted to say aah, that is a nigerian food or they copied this from nigeria. When infact, it is just a Hausa dish present in both countries because of their significant Hausa populations.

The Hausa influence is felt across ghana. Hausas are very well travelled within ghana (remember they are nomadic). There is a "zongo" in every major ghana city. So people coming from Nigeria will see a lot of similarities in ghana purely due to the Hausa influence.
