In other words only two states in Nigeria, Lagos state and Kano state are bigger than a whole country Ghana

The guy is on point though he used the wrong state

Ghanaian here, let me give some context to this issue

1. After the world war, the British and French divided up German colonies among themselves. The British share of the division was known as British Togoland

2. The people in those area (alright not entirely) are mostly Ewes and speak the language as the cast majority of Togo

3. On 9 May 1956, a referendum was held for the people of British Togoland asking them if they wanted to be part of soon be independent Ghana or be integrated with French Togoland (current Togo).

4. Overall the 58% voted to be part of Ghana. Here’s the interesting part. The northern part of the territory were tribes with part of their people in Ghana, that part voted to be part of Ghana. The southern part were mostly Ewes, which was the dominant tribe in Togo voted to be part of French Togoland.

5. After Ghana’s independence they became part of Ghana

6. The government of Ghana haven’t done much about this succession tendencies, most people in Ghana laugh them off as a joke.

To the Naija people that are tribal bashing and wishing harm upon their fellow naijans based on tribe; I hope they kpai from biblical diseases that can't spread to the progressives.



They are progressives on all sides.

Team stay United or Team divide, have people there, that want to stay United and want everyone can have equal rights. Those are the progressives. The people of light.

Ignorance! Ghana is far bigger than the whole southern Nigeria (SW+SS+SS combined). Ghana has a landmass of 238,535 sq.km, while the landmass of the entire southern Nigeria SW+SS+SE) is just 193,777 sq.km. In terms of population, Ghana's population is approximately 31,072,940 (UN data, 2020).
I don't expect a better defense from any Ghanian

Personally, I think all African countries should renegotiate their sovereignty. It is foolhardiness to be clingy to the greedy, unlawful, illegal and immoral partitioning of Africa in 1884 by white racists.

We need new countries in Africa. We should however not resort to this level of crass violence to achieve it.

Until we sit down and talk, across Africa, we will keep having this issues. I mean, look at the Ambazonia issue in Cameroon.

Africa, Think.

I think there is a problem with all eastern parts of all African countries, they are all high on successionism - Nigeria - ghana - ethiopia only cameroun has a western challenge and Niger the southern part that wants to be part of Nigeria - I am just wondering, if they allow people split along their preferences we would have more then 3000 countries in africa
Even if it's 5000 countries as far as the inhabitants are happy and can progressively pursue their goals

You have a point.

But then again, splitting isn't necessarily an African thing. Former USSR splitted, North and South Korea splitted. Québec has had multiple referendums to split away from Canada, etc.

Along what lines should a continent as diverse as Africa split? It will only be a matter of years before the new countries start splitting again. Besides, the effects of splitting affects generations unborn cause families might be separated if care is not taken and even with the splitting, y'all would still be neigbours and if there is no peace, it will affect y'all's economy badly. What Africa needs is a government structure that is similar to what we have in Canada. Let each province in a country be as autonomous as possible.

The population of Lagos is 9m plus and kano is also 9m plus which is a total of 18m according to the last census figures

Maybe you are using all these unsubstantiated imaginary social media figures of 20m population attached to Lagos

Re: Ghana's Western Togoland Region Declares Sovereignty by Litmus:
Foolish.

Ghana, Togo and Côte d'Ivoire should be joining to form one larger Nation- not seperating - they’re all more or less same people. Too many African nations are not viable as it is, for they are too small geographically or population-wise, without current nations splitting into even smaller tribal nations. And before some of you point to Norway, or some small thriving European nation, as examples contradicting the main thrust of my argument, just bare in mind that African nations are overwhelmingly agrarian primary product producers. With the best will in the world, and with all due respects, the majority of African nations will not become industrialized nations able to increase their GDPs, and what not, through innovating technological products. In addition, these African nations, unlike the smaller European nations, won’t have the might of the Western world subsiding their living standards.

This is what happens when you don't put enough funding in your military, imagine IPOB trying to forcefully claim a part of Nigeria, under this Buhari Administration any National threat no matter how minimal is meet with extreme force
Noise maker. The Fulani herdsmen killers and Boko Haram have been very serious national threats. How come your Buhari has not met them with extreme forcehuh? Instead, your Buhari seems to be aiding them. Yoruba Muslims are a big impediment to the progress of Nigeria.

I am surprised how you totally misunderstood the first statement and still went ahead to say things that support it. When someone says "splitting isn't necessarily an African thing" and proceeds to give examples of countries that splitted in Europe, Asia and the Americas, he is only saying that splitting is a general thing and not peculiar to any continent. He's not saying Europe has the monopoly.

The point is there is that splitting doesn't necessarily come cause of past colonial effects cause many countries that didn't have that still splitted.
What do you mean by saying things that support your point?

Explain or simply read my text again!

"Why do you think splitting isn't necessary and Africa thing and who told you that the Europeans own the monopoly of splitting and forming new states when coexistence isn't achievable after decades of forced union?"
Your statement above simply shows you didn't understand my submission. I said splitting is not necessarily an African thing. And I mentioned other places it has taken place. That should tell that I was saying it could happen anywhere and not just in Africa. So you coming to ask who told me Europeans have the monopoly of it is bizarre cause I never slightly suggested they do. My comment was a response to someone who said it was cause of the amalgamation done by the western world in Africa.

You don't have to use exclamation marks while stating your point.

Re: Ghana's Western Togoland Region Declares Sovereignty by Rosskii: 8:48pm On Sep 26, 2020
I will not be surprised if the NIGERIAN govt is behind this via remote control.

Ghana needs to be taught a lesson.

They have become too arrogant and conceited. Always boasting about how 'peaceful' their country is, 'compared to Nigeria'.

They need this type of destabilization to humble them.

Notice how this has arisen right after their recent harassment of Nigerians and their demolishing of part of the Nigerian embassy in Accra?

Let's see how this pans out.

The Ghanaian army is rated 28th in Africa, even below Burkina Faso.

I'll be surprised if they can handle any type of insurrection.

If Nigeria is secretly funding those rebels - and this map suggests it could be - expect an escalation.

Yes, so as to spur up tribal, language and religious conflicts as currently experienced by the ambazonians in cameroon and Biafrans in Nigeria
Well, that's an hypothesis.

However, looking at the history of Ghana, when it was to get its independence, the whole of Togo was considered matched with it, esp as parts of Togoland was British-administered and the rest French.

Ghana was first in Africa to get independence from colonialists.
