Mehn this ghana kids are so fixated on Nigeria. How come this niggies knw so many places and names of folks and yet they havent even visited. one even called elrufai. I doubt if any Nigerian knows any minister in ghana. We dont have that kinda time. You guys should be lucky times have changed. Had it been twas in those days when kingdoms go to war and annex the smaller kingdoms around them,naija would have consumed togo,ghana and cameroun. It aint late yet. We can still do to you folks what china is doing to taiwan

But the Ghanaians they surveyed must be of higher primitiveness than Nigerians to think Nigerians are smarter and/or rich. When 80% of the people in a country is piss poor, with dilapidated infrastructures - then that's extreme poverty. Nigeria doesn't even have stable electricity, for crying out loud. And the only city in Nigeria worth talking about is Lagos.

This is just hyperbole and stupidity - you lot need to stop inflating the over inflated egos of Nigerians. undecided undecided

murimoney: Ghanians don't steal?
ah don't let me give u d history of Ghana o. Ghana was d most corrupt nation in west Africa. DAT some Ghanians had to come to Nigeria to hustle. u were not even born then! Go to wiki if u tink am lying.
where did u tink Ghana must go came 4rm? grin

You are very ignorant, and you dont know the history of the relationship between Nigeria and Ghana!

Nigerians were the first to rush en-masse to Ghana, starting from pre-independence days.Nigerians, mostly Yoruba people have been in Ghana for over 100years. They were doing legitimate businesses like cocoa farming, trading, transport; and even working in the Ghana civil service, teachers, police etc. Ghana was richer than all the 3 regions in Nigeria in those days, and it was like the unofficial capital of West Africa/Africa. Again, Nkrumah's influence attracted a lot to people to Ghana

Ghanaians started trooping to Nigeria when they had economic crisis in the late 70s/early 80s. ....and they came mostly to Nigeria because that was the country that most of them had known in the past(because of the huge presence of Nigerians there) and had them as friends in Ghana even before their problem started.
Many Ghanaians came to join their Nigerian friends in Nigeria, mostly in Lagos/southwest. If you go to Ghana, you would see a lot of places named after Nigerian(Yoruba) people since over 60/70 years ago.
Go and study before you talk.

hahahahahaha. some comments make me laugh. what is huge population when majority of its people live below the poverty line and unemployment is a shocking 20+%? what have Lagos' beauty over Accra got to do when majority if Lagosians dont have access to basic needs? access to healthcare, good roads, education, portable water etc. dont let me start on electricity. how a whole giant (as you call yourselves) produce less than 5000MW of power (i could be wrong but i doubt). thats twice more than Gh for a country 5x bigger in terms population. isn't that a pity? lets not kid ourselves. Ghana has its own issues. power was one recently and has been tackled. we are going to export power by close of the current year. why would a Ghanaian want to be a Nigerian or move to Nigeria? last i checked the movement was the other way. not necessarily for business but just to enjoy basic amenities. basic amenities i repeat. those not basic and available in your "beautiful" Lagos, Abuja or Ukwa Ibom. check universities and you'll find many Nigerians in Ghanaian universities. i wont give up what im enjoying here to be in Nigeria (no offence). what is a big GDP when it's not reflecting in the lifes of the people. question is "what are you enjoying as a Nigerian in Nigeria that i'm not enjoying here in Tamale, Ghana? lets not kid ourselves

HONESTLY, I DO NOT KNOW HOW THIS HAS BECOME A NIGERIA-GHANA CoMPARISON/BASHING THREAD. WHAT IS INSULTING IN THAT WRITE-UP? MOST OF ThAT ARE JUST COMPLIMENTS. Can't you people speak civil words for once and use the faculties in your head? Why/how do you derive pleasure insulting somebody? Why do you feel the NEED to create enmity between you and others? Why do you take pride in making others dislike/hate you because of your uncouth lips? Can't you respect others? The human beings of today need to check their psyche...seriously. What will the pounding of chest benefit you?
If it is within you, you will fight the other ethnic group...between you and others,you try to belittle them. Pls 9ja, grow up. All you youths, grow up. Because it is not our fathers and mothers that pound their chest/take pride in arrogance. Love others. They do not hate you.

shol: Why then do we see a lot of excitement, wearing of green apparel or whatever outfit will represent one as a true 9Ja in diaspora? We asked some Ghanaian folks what they know about Nigerians?

1. Nigerians are RICH

It is the perception of many Ghanaian that Nigerians are rich people. Many of them own big businesses here in Ghana. Businesses guys like Dangote, Globacom’s Adenuga, Silverbird Cinema’s Bruce, City Lights, Olu Luther King, inshort we cannot enumerate them here. The banks, The traders, The students, and of course the 419s. They all manifest wealth in certain degrees. Nigeria has oil that has benefited few and contributed to the economy, so at least there is money in circulation.

2. Nigerians are SMART

When dealing with a Nigeria Man, you must think fast, you must become clever quickly because while you are thinking short term he is thinking future. It is difficult to calculate the brain manipulations of a Nigerian man, whatever deal he enters into, he has already won you. He will pretend to be a fool in deal but at the end you will realize how foolish you became. Nigerians believe that there is a way where you can’t see it. He will tell you, let’s go, nothing dey happen. 9Ja no dey carry last. Nigerians come from a background of fast system, where if you are dull, you will not survive. The key to success becomes thinking like a CIA, fighting like Jackie Chan, and feeling super like America.


3. Nigerians are Hardworking

A Nigerian believes that only the best or nothing, they are not lazy at all. The come from a society where competition is real. where you always reminded of another person’s success. So you must labour whether good or bad. Nigerians want to produce results. They want to show off their accomplishments and that drives them as well. Nigerians do not tolerate insults but loves jokes, so everyone avoids to me mocked by society and hence must hustle.

4. Nigerians are Aggressive

In Nigeria, or Nigerians won’t say all die be die, they will just harm you. Nigerians are not reserved, if you push a Nigerian, he won’t push back, he will punch, but if it is a Ghana man, if you push him, he will ask you a question: So you pushed me eh? Nigerians are not afraid to try, to overcome, to win, to penetrate. They will go the extra mile to achieve. They are not laid back folks. They can fight fast, make peace soon and continue. The aggressive nature of Nigerians are felt in their military, police, robbers, politicians, and civilians.

5. Nigerians are Kind

Nigerians are generous people, they can share whatever they have with others. There could be reasons for such nature. For instance if you are rich then you must take care of poor people. Also Nigeria has the highest number of Chiefs, even now it is multiplying exponentially with Nigerian Kings in diaspora distributing the title of Chief to those willing and can afford it. Nigerians also give alms for recognition and to command respect. Nigerians have the common belief that givers never lack and hence insure their security of not being in poverty by sharing to others.

6. Nigerians respect their Women

A Nigerian man will easily tell an annoying lady to visit his house and see what he kept there, referring to his wife. Nigerian men take good care of their women when it comes to material things. They adore them and want them to have the best. That respect may be hard when it comes to fidelity but as for worldly goods, A Nigerian will prefer that his wife looks best while he appears simple. A Nigerian man will not tolerate beating a woman instead will encourage you to fight your fellow man.

7. Nigerians are 419 people

It is a common notion that Nigerians are not to be trusted. That their smartness, aggressiveness, being rich is because of how they can easily scam you. They world has come to recognize and respect the 419 aspect of Nigerians. They are everywhere in the world and in every organization. However as much as we recognize the fact that 419 or Nigerian Scam is real. Google it and see massive literature on it, but not all Nigerians are 419 people. Recently we met the Marketing Manager of Vodafone Ghana, A Nigerian called Uche, she is not a 419 but will definitely be smart. You see since Nigerians are smart people, it is interesting to note that where ever they channel that energy to, pays off.

8. Nigerians love Business

A Nigerian loves money and will see to it that he makes it. He knows that it is important to lay treasures on earth when thieves come, shoot him. They have founded many businesses all over the world from scratch. There are many Nigerians even competing with Ghanaian in their local market, and they will sell things cheaper and have quick turn over. A Nigerian will always use any small space giving to him, after 5 years, He is OGA!! Nigerians are born entrepreneurs, all you need is Nigerian business partner, of course a trust worthy one and you may be safe but will make huge profit.

9. Nigerians are Funny people

Having a sense and spirit of humour a natural endowment of Nigerians. Every Nigerian is a stand up comedian where ever he is. He will entertain you, make everyone laugh and still be serious. Many Nigerians do not claim to be comedians but will easily crack your ribs when you hang out with them. This funny aspect of Nigerians are sometimes used against them by a Ghanaian who does not know or appreciate their life style. So a Nigerian will speak the way he knows how, and will be labelled as disrespectful. Nigerians now export comedy, while many comedians are back home making them laugh over everything.

10. Nigerians are Spiritual

The devotion to deity is paramount in the lives of Nigerians. Sometimes it is even difficult to understand the vocation of a Nigerian neighbour but due to his regular church attendance, loud prayer one could easily suspect him a pastor. Many Nigerian owned churches are doing well here in Ghana. Nigerian movies end up with ” To God be the Glory” appreciation.

Ghana and Nigeria relationship is unique in Africa and will always continue to develop stronger ties in aspects of human relations.

Hahahaha.... Ur a big liar! Fool, what are u enjoying in Tamale in Northern Region of Ghana when 80% of Northern children are street hockers in Accra. Ashanti people from southern part of Ghana called people from northern(Tamale) part of Ghana '' PEPEYI'' meaning poor, slaves and primitive people. Fool, there is no 1 company in the three Northern part of Ghana i.e Northern region, Upper region and Upper west region. Upper East region capital Bolgatanga is a typical village with only one tire road, the only road that lead to Navarango to Burkina Faso. Upper West region capital Wa is not even upto a village, is a typical bush. Northern Region capital Tamala where Ghana bleaching face president John Mahama come from is only the city in the entire northern part of Ghana that have local airport and local stadium but with out any single company. In Northern region of Ghana( Tamale) there is no road from Tamale to Bole where Ghana bleaching face president John Mahama come from. There is no road from Tamale to Yedi and Bibila where Ghana former vice president Aliyu Mahama come from. In Upper East region of Ghana, there is no road from Bolgatanga to Wa where Ghana University of Development Studies located. There is no road from Bolgatanga to Bawku where Ghana have border with Togo in northern part. In Upper West region, there is no road from Wa to Hamele where Ghana also have another border with Burkina Faso. There is also no road from Wa to zuwarugu where Ghana Gold mine located in North. Pls fool, stop spreading liars. Ghana don't have any constant electricity and every offices, network mass, big business, banks, manufacturing companies and rich people in Ghana have and used generators every day. Listen fool, my 3 years working with a Nigeria company in Ghana that instoring Glo Network in the whole Ghana have open my eyes to know that Ghana is nothing but a glorified village. Ghana is a typical village to compare with Senegal and Ivory Coast in West African. Ghana is a country build with liars, propaganda and hypocrites, hatred and enviness. The only good place in Ghana are East Legon in Accra where 1000s of Nigerians live and Sprintex road in Accra where TB Joshua build his Church in Ghana, the rest of Ghana are glorified typical villages.
