coachwilcox: By the way, the word ashawo is a ghanaian word. The trade was popularised in Naija years when Ghanaians were in full action in Naija.

Ghanaian babes dont even need to become official prostitutes cause deir mothers and grannies were already same in those days and now dey just operate from home.

You see how ignorant you are? Ashawo is originally ''Ashewo''.....which is a Yoruba word for a prostitute. The Ghanaians only promounce it ''Ashawo'' because of their own local accent.

Any girl/lady who does not have a strong moral will and faced with lack/poverty/starvation may become a prostitute. It may be Ghanaian or Nigerian. There was a time when Ghanaian prostitutes were very many in Nigeria. Today, Nigerian prostitutes are every where in Ghana like pure water

Sh1thole

Too much open defecation in Ghana

Articles Share This Print This Comments (10) « Prev Next »


More than four million people in Ghana defecate in the bush, open drains, water bodies, or fields instead of using a latrine.
According to the Ghana Statistical Service Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) Report for 2006, open defecation is prevalent in all the ten regions. While the national average, according to the report, is 24%, the practice is most widespread in the Upper East Region with about 82% of the people without any form of latrine, followed by the Upper West Region withabout 79% and then the Northern Region with about 73%.
Contributing factorsA couple of factors contribute to this negative practice; these include absence of clean household or public latrines and ignorance of the harmful effects of open defecation. It is also a fact in Ghana, that some people simply prefer the bush, the beach, or any open field for the simple reason that those places are more airy and convenient. There are others who do not want to add their shit to those of others in one pit for several superstitious and cultural reasons. Non enforcement of environmental laws is also a major factor.
Harmful effectsHuman faeces left in the open fields, bushes or drains generate millions of viruses, bacteria and parasites. Houseflies usually fly between these faeces and the food we eat including fruits. And when we eat these contaminated foods, we have inadvertently eaten our own or other people’s faeces! We therefore open ourselves up for illnesses that can even lead to deaths.Rains also wash away most human faeces left in the open into rivers, ponds, open wells, lagoons and beaches. According to the Ghana Statistical Service (MICS 2006 report), about 19% of the population (nearly 4.2m people) still rely on untreated water from streams, dams, ponds, rivers and open wells for drinking and cooking. They may therefore have been drinking their own or other people’s faeces and injecting themselves with germs and diseases.Can the practice be stopped?The answer is yes given the fact that it has been possible in some countries where certain organizations and the government focused on ending the practice. Even in some communities in the Afram Plains of Ghana it has been possible for some communities to stop open defecation thanks to interventions by the Afram Plains Development Organization. Below are excerpts from an article taken from the Global Education Website and we quote:“Traditionally, in Bangladeshi villages when people wanted to go to the toilet they went behind bushes, in fields, ponds or on riversides. It was considered acceptable for men to defecate in the open anytime, but women could only relieve themselves in the early morning or after dark without embarrassment. Children could go anywhere as their wastes were considered harmless! …Since 2000, Village Education Resource Centre and WaterAid Bangladesh have been helping to make big changes in toileting habits through a Community-Led Total Sanitation program. In the program, facilitators would walk around the village with community members, introducing them to the health and environmental dangers of fields being used as toilets. They visited regular toileting sites and broke down social taboos by talking openly about faeces, or ‘poo'. There was usually plenty of laughter. Together, they drew diagrams showing that after rain faeces could flow from open sites into ponds, canals and wells, and eventually onto cooking utensils after washing, as well as onto food itself through flies. With shame and disgust they realized that they had probably been regularly eating their own – and other people's – faeces. After one such introduction the villagers of Mosmoil in northern Bangladesh quickly decided to adopt 100% sanitation. It was time, they said, to end the age-old practice of open defecation. They learnt how to make a latrine which confined excreta and prevented faeces contaminating surrounding areas. Within a short time every household in the village had such a sanitary latrine. Villagers pledged to always use their latrines instead of going to the toilet in open areas and to wash their hands straight afterwards…At school children learnt about washing hands and the need for all people to use the latrines. They took action with a public shaming campaign. They kept watch, and used flags naming the adults who were still going to the toilet in public areas to embarrass them and encourage them to change their toileting habits…
In 2004, the Government of Bangladesh earmarked 20 per cent of the annual development budget to promote sanitation awareness. In three years the sanitation coverage in Bangladesh surged from 33 per cent of households to over 70 per cent.”

Ghana tops gay list in Africa



Email this Share This Print This Comments (95) « Prev Next »
Ghana has been named as the African country with the most registered homosexual ‘hopefuls’ seeking expatriate partners. This is according to an online website that is ripe with homosexual information.
A statement on a ccraexpats.com by a contributor, Andy S, stated that though Ghana was not an African gay paradise, there may be many desperate young men who were looking for greener pastures.
“Dating sites are the most frequently used ways to meet a (potential) lover or gay guide in a foreign country. At sites like Outpersonals or Gaydar, you will find that Ghana is the country in Africa with the most registered hopefuls.”
“No other country in Africa has so many boys and men looking for a partner on Outpersonals with picture (often naked) than Ghana. Does this mean Ghana is the Gay paradise in Africa? No...! It may mean that there are plenty young men desperate enough to seek greener pastures elsewhere and who are developed enough to have access to the internet and a digital camera,” Andy added.
Accraexpat.com, a homosexual online site, provides information about Ghanaian homosexuals to expatriates who seek black partners for fun, as well as serious relationships. Just like a tour guide, the website gives detailed information on the homosexual landscape in Ghana.
Right from the ‘illegal’ nature of the act in the country to the various scams that some ‘hopefuls’ engage in to make quick money, the site presents expatriates all there is to know about the Ghanaian homosexual community.
“Our welcome must, however, come with a word of caution. South Africa is the only African country to recognise same-sex relationships and is the only nation on the continent where engaging in homosexual activity is not a crime. Therefore, in Ghana as in all other African countries, be very, very careful,” the site’s welcome statement said.
Other cautions intimated: “many of the men and boys you see on these sites are not even gay or bisexual. Some just pretend to be gay and will have sex for money. Others are just "online gay", that is, they will tell you hot sexy stories after which they will ask for your financial support (need a phone to call you, mother being sick, brother dead etc.). Once you arrive, they will vanish in thin air. The name and address they give are fake. Often the pictures are fake too. They copied it somewhere from the net.”
“But that is not even the worst form: The next category are the ones who will meet you and maybe even have sex with you - an act which will be interrupted by a "policeman" knocking on your hotel room door. Blackmail is for some a quicker way to get the cash they're after. Often the policeman is a fraud but sometimes even the police is actually involved. Corrupt policemen are just part of the extortion plot. If you don’t cough up the money, you will land in prison, plus the embarrassment of the story in the newspapers. After all, gay sex is considered illegal in Ghana under the "unnatural carnal knowledge" phrase”.
The site also has a detailed eighteen (18) point list of likely gay hangouts with particular days when gays socialise. Among such hangouts are Rhapsody’s at Accra Mall, Chester’s in Osu, Coconut Groove on ring road, Le Reeve in circle and University of Ghana, Legon.
The site also highlights certain locations in Accra which are tagged “no-go zones” for expatriates due to the “very dangerous” nature of such areas. One of such “very dangerous” areas in Accra is Christian village located in Achimota.
“Especially watch out for Christian Village (Achimota): this has really become a no-go zone. Very dangerous. Also see the fakers2go website on this” it warned.
With public debates on gay rights still raging on, activities of gay tourist sites adds to the woes of the country on its actual stance on homosexuality. [/b]

100 million nigerians dont have acess to toilet


The United Nations International Children Emergency Fund (UNICEF) has revealed that more than 100 million Nigeria's don't have access to toilets as the nation joins the rest of the world to mark the World Toilet Day.
It said the poor sanitary condition is responsible for the spread of diseases in Nigeria.

These figures are coming as the Federal Government said 2,771 cases of cholera epidemics was reported this year with 124 deaths.

Speaking at the celebration of World Toilets Day, UNICEF Chief Sanitary, Water and Hygiene Officer, Kannan Nadar described the situation in Nigeria as very critical.

He said, "Nigeria has about one hundred million people without access to toilets, this is worrisome, as it is possible for everyone to own toilet, it doesn't cost much. "Sanitation and toilets are fundamental human rights. since it is possible for everyone to own toilet, it is not justified for people to die of diseases related to open defecation."

In his remark, Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, said the recent occurrence of cholera epidemics could be stopped if there was a mechanism to stop open defecation.

He said, "as many as an estimated 2771 cases and 124 deaths with case fatality rate of 4.5 per cent were reported, this yearly occurrence of cholera epidemics could be stopped if there is a mechanism to stop open defecation which will prevent contamination of water sources and foods that are major causes of cholera in the country."

Head of Governance, WaterAid Nigeria, Tolani Busari expressed concern that barely two years to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), Nigeria was yet to address the problem of poor sanitation.

She said: "staggering 37 million people still practice open defecation, nearly 100,000 children under the age of five dying of diarrhea in Nigeria every year as a result of poor sanitation and water."

She added: "Sanitation has always been the most neglected and off-track of the MDGs, with little funding, resources or political will to address the crisis. There has been little or no progress towards the agreed target of allocating 0.5 per cent of GDP to sanitation."

Why more Nigerians are committing suicide

TOYOSI OGUNSEYE


Each year, approximately one million people die from suicide. TOYOSI OGUNSEYE writes that Nigeria is fast contributing to this statistics, as there is a 100 per cent increase in suicide rates in the country.


The suspected suicide of Motunrayo Ogbara, a 26-year-old ex-banker in Lagos State, is still generating a lot of comments in the metropolis and beyond, as many people are still shocked that a young lady that was full of life could have killed herself.

It is speculated that Ogbara, a graduate of Economics from the University of Lagos, was depressed and had made an earlier attempt at suicide last year.

Just as the news of Ogbara's death was breaking, a Lagos politician, Mr. Al-Mustaim Alade Abaniwonda, was also said to have jumped into the Lagos lagoon, after he alighted from his chauffeur-driven car at the Leventis Bus Stop, Marina.

Ogbara and Abaniwonda are among the many Nigerians who are reported to have taken their lives this year.

On July 7, Elizabeth Andrew of No. 17, Irawo-Owuro Street, Isheri Oshin, Lagos, was found hanging on the metal burglary bars behind a window in her apartment. Before help could reach her, Andrew was dead.

A month before that, Afeez Olaoye was also found hanging in his room at No. 4, Ajibulu Street, Mafolukwu, Oshodi, Lagos.

In the month of March, three suicide cases were also recorded in Lagos. The State Criminal Investigations Department got a report on March 26 that one Nnamdi Osita was found hanging in a classroom in a primary school at Satellite Town.

Just before Osita's case was reported, Ekpesikpe Iman was found dead in her brother's Ajegunle house after hanging herself.

Similarly, Azeez Nurudeen of No. 9, Amusa Street, Layeni, Ajegunle, was found hanging in his apartment.

These suicide cases are among the few that were reported to the police in Lagos this year. Last year, the police did not have any record of suicide between March and December 2010; while only one suicide was reported between January and March 2010.

The suicide cases are not limited to Lagos alone. In Jalingo, Taraba State, a 30-year-old woman, Mrs. Bilkisi Gidado, committed suicide after her husband reportedly took a second wife. Gidado was said to have set herself ablaze and eventually fell into a well in her residence.

Also in Ajuwon, Ogun State, Tobilola Ajihun killed herself after her longtime boyfriend, Simeon Akinremi, rejected her pregnancy.

Her suicide note read, "Please, I killed myself by taking rat poison because he rejected my pregnancy. I was sincere to him and I never double-dated. So, I decided to take my life and my God will revenge because I did not forgive him."

In Katsina, a 36- year-old man, Sabo Lawal, was said to have committed suicide by hanging himself with an electric cable in his house at the abattoir area of the town on July1. According to the witness, Lawal was a drug addict and had been living alone since he divorced his wife a few months ago.

In Okigwe, Imo State, Andrew Uba, 26, reportedly committed suicide over Manchester United's inability to win the UEFA Champion's league final on Saturday after placing a N100,000 bet on them to win ahead of FC Barcelona, reports said.

A few days before Uba's death, a 29-year-old man, Emmanuel Peter, allegedly committed suicide in the Girei Local Government Area of Adamawa State after medical results revealed that he was HIV positive.

No doubt, this year has witnessed an increase in the number of Nigerians committing suicide; and the cause of the deaths varies across sexes, while the method used predominantly was hanging, followed by self-poisoning.

Even in Ghana, suicide is fast becoming a common occurrence. In a report released by the International Association for Suicide Prevention, the number of reported cases for 2009 was 21,500, and the statistics has continued to increase.

Most of the reported cases, according to the IASP, resulted from the complex interaction of casual factors, including mental illness, poverty, substance abuse, social isolation, losses, relationship difficulties and workplace problems. The main methods used by the victims, IASP says, are hanging, shooting with fire arms and poisoning.

A consultant psychiatrist at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomosho, Oyo State, Dr. Adeoye Oyewole, says that even though there is an increase in the number of people committing suicide, cases of this nature have always occurred but people are hardly open about them.

He said, "Suicide is not just happening. It's just that Africans have mechanisms in their culture and religion that hide it. It is often considered a taboo for anyone to broadcast information that pertains to suicide, especially when it concerns royalty. In the past, we have had so many kings and monarchs in our environment commit suicide, but no one is willing to discuss it.

"The implication of this is that it is underreported and even the police do not get to hear about it because of the stigma attached to it. So, under-reportage is a major issue here."

Oyewole further said that suicide was on the increase as a result of socio-economic pressure. "There is an erosion of the traditional values and the family system. We've always had a fair share of economic pressure, but the presence of the Internet and mobile phones have increased the pressure. Most families want to send their children abroad for holiday and when these children come back, they pressurise their parents to give them what they saw during their visits. "Also, young ladies in urban areas want to give birth abroad, whether their husbands can afford it or not. That is why more suicides are recorded in urban regions."

Denys de Catanzaro, an evolutionary psychologist, says that those that face the greatest risk of suicide include the elderly, especially those who are a burden on their family, anyone who is ostracized by their kin, someone unable to provide for their kin, dependent on their reproductively capable kin, or anyone who has difficulty relating with the opposite sex.

He said, "All of these conditions will lead to emotional and psychological conditions that will make suicide more likely."

In the last 45 years, suicide rates have increased by 60 per cent worldwide. The World Health Organisation reports that it is now among the three leading causes of death among those aged 15-44 (male and female).

According to WHO, suicide attempts are up to 20 times more frequent than completed suicides; and although suicide rates have traditionally been highest amongst elderly males, rates among young people have been increasing to such an extent that they are now the group at highest risk in a third of all countries.

Sadly, youth suicide is increasing at the greatest rate.

THE Chief of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) of United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF), Kannan Nadar, in a briefing in Abuja, on Monday, said “in Nigeria, over 100 million people do not have access to improved toilet facilities, out of which 45 million defecate in the open.”

At a press briefing to commemorate the World Toilet Day, the UNICEF official said lack of toilet facilities and indiscriminate disposal of faeces in the environment posed a great danger to the health of individuals.

Similarly, Ms Tolani Busari, the Head of Governance, WaterAid Nigeria, said poor sanitation and dirty water damaged the economy of developing countries.

She added that nearly 100,000 children under the age of five died of diarrhoea in Nigeria every year, as a result of the poor level of access to sanitation.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu, has called on Nigerians to desist from open defecation, which exposes to diseases.

Professor Chukwu, who was represented at the briefing by the permanent secretary in the ministry, Ambassador Sani Bala, said that cholera could be stopped if Nigerians would desist from open defecation.

“This yearly occurrence of cholera epidemic could be stopped if there is mechanism to stop open defecation, which will prevent contamination of water sources and foods that are major causes of cholera in the country,” he said.

He also added that reports from the 14 states affected by cholera and gastroenteritis outbreak indicated that indiscriminate open defecation and lack of toilet facilities were major causes of the outbreak in the states.

The minister, therefore, said the commemoration of World Toilet Day this year was one of the attempts at raising awareness on the need to stop open defecation for healthy living.

He further stated that Nigeria was collaborating with some international development partners to introduce community-led total sanitation, primarily aimed at mobilising communities to take actions towards stopping open defecation practice.

@jigga.man u burnt skin gaynian ugly monkey,5 gaynians commit suicicde everyday. The highest in the world

Five Ghanaians commit suicide daily.

It may come as a surprise to you, but by the end of today, five or more people in Ghana would have taken their own lives, a phenomenon known as suicide. The worst part of it is that some of these persons may take the life of other people (Homicide) before taking theirs.
Some alarming information stumbled upon by The Globe newspaper reveal that the rate of suicide (the action of killing oneself intentionally) in Ghana is climbing at an incredible rate.
The last few weeks have seen the crime dominating newspaper headlines. This has caused fear and panic with some calling for national prayers to exorcise Ghana from any evil.
Available statistics on suicide in Ghana put together by the Network for Anti-suicide and Crisis Prevention over a year indicate that Greater Accra region had the highest number of deaths by suicide, recording 431 and still counting.
Below is the breakdown by region Greater Accra Region 431 Northern Region 276 Ashanti Region 132 Upper West 118 Brong Ahafo Region 114 Upper East 102 Western Region 102 Eastern Region 98 Volta Region 97 Central region 86
Total: 1,556
Per the data, an average of five out of every 10 people die every day in Ghana and this could even be worse should families or victims be bold enough to give information about some deaths that have been covered up and blamed on “illness”.
The Globe’s checks indicate that the most dominant method being used in the southern sector was by hanging and poisoning while in the northern sector it was by fire arm and hanging.
According to the statistics, the highest number of cases recorded was between the ages of 20 to 35 years which recorded a total of 702 and the outstanding reason for them committing suicide has been attributed to love relationship problems, poverty amongst others.
The next category is people between the ages of nine to 19 years which recorded 531 deaths. The dominant cause of their death ranged between problems with parents, failure at school, inability of parents to provide their needs, love relationship problems amongst others.
The third category ranges from 36 years upwards and that recorded about 323 deaths. The foremost reason for this category of people is impotence and poverty.
The staggering statistics further revealed that within the year more men committed suicide than women. 1, 129 men took their lives as against 427 women.
A former President of the International Association for Suicide Prevention, Professor Brian Mishara in a survey conducted by his institution revealed that "more than a million people worldwide die by suicide each year, many millions make suicide attempts severe enough to need medical treatment and many more millions are affected by the disastrous impact of a suicide. A global mortality rate of 1 death every 40 seconds."
He added that "in this age of preoccupation with global violence, terrorism and homicides, we often ignore the fact that worldwide more people kill themselves than die in all wars, terrorist acts and interpersonal violence combined.”
The World Health Organization (WHO) stated that by the year 2020, 1.5 million people will kill themselves annually worldwide. The sheer numbers make suicide and suicidal behaviour a top health issue. The WHO has, in fact, made suicide prevention, along with public prevention of malaria and tobacco related diseases, the top priorities for the first decade of this millennium.
Committing suicide in Ghana or attempting to commit suicide in Ghana is a criminal act and some Civil Society Organisations are calling for the decriminalisation of suicide so that persons who have the intention to commit or are contemplating the act can come forward for help.
Section 57 Clause 2 of the 1960 Criminal Code of Ghana clearly states that attempted suicide is a crime.
Just last week, about four people were reported to have committed suicide and these reports came from the rural areas. Information is, however, rife that the act of suicide is rampant in the rural areas and due to the fear of stigma against relatives of the victims, most of the cases are covered up.
The Chief Psychiatrist at the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Akwasi Osei, said 93-95% of all suicides and attempted suicides are from mental disorders, with over 80% of the lot from depression.
Creative Minds, an NGO established with the aim of preventing and a helping person with suicide intentions told The Globe in an interview that “the rate at which suicide is spreading in the country is becoming alarming. It has become more dangerous than HIV/Aids that we’re all fighting against. When someone decides to commit suicide it doesn’t take 10 minutes to execute, by the time you step out of the room and return, you’d see him or her hanging or poison themselves.”
The founder of Creative Minds, Madam Mary Addy, who herself contemplated suicide some years

buwhahahahhahahahahha! who wanna be a gaynian?? No one

Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Kwabena Adjei
says Ghanaians are lazy because they always sit on radio criticizing
government without doing any work to support the country’s economy.
He says Ghanaians spend six days in the week on radio for commentary and rest
on the seventh day, which is unacceptable.
Dr. Adjei was speaking at the launch of the US$2million Amir Complex, a modern
shopping mall at Kisseiman in West Legon.
He argued that if the owners of the new shopping mall had chosen to lazy about
talking on radio for six days in a week, the mall would not have been a reality.
“This should be a strong message to Ghanaians that there’s no free lunch in
today’s world because every body’s contribution makes the country wealthy,” the
NDC Chairman stressed.
Dr. Adjei is therefore urging Ghanaians to engage in something advantageous
and desist from continuous radio and television commentary.
Meanwhile, the Director of “Amir Complex”, Stanley Tanor said the mall will
support economic growth by contributing to government’s effort at creating jobs.
Tanor noted that the new mall will bring products and service close to people
within Kisseiman and West Legon catchment area and ease the pressure on other
malls in Accra.

54 per cent Nigerian households have pit latrines

By Everest Amaefule Sunday, 24 Jul 2011 http://www.punchng.com/Articl.aspx?theartic=Art2011072416282942 Pit latrines account for 54 per cent of the toilets deployed by Nigerian households in 2008, the National Bureau of Statistics http://www.nigerianstat.gov.ng/ has said. The agency in its Annual Abstract of Statistics, 2009, which has just been released also disclosed that 66.3 per cent of Nigerian households lived in a single room as at 2008. According to the agency, while 38.3 per cent of the households have covered pit latrines, 15.7 per cent households have pit latrines that are not covered. To show that the culture of pail toilet is dying in the country, only 0.1 per cent of households used the facility in 2008, down from the 0.2 per cent that deployed the toilet facility in 2007. Households that pass their wastes in the water accounted for 3.7 per cent; down from the four per cent recorded in 2007. A total of 8.8 per cent households did not have any toilet facility as against 8.6 per cent recorded in 2007. The number of households that have VIP latrine accounted for 0.6 per cent while unidentified facilities accounted for 17.6 per cent. On state basis, Imo State accounted for the highest number of households with covered pit latrines at 78.5 per cent. A total of 8.7 per cent households in the state have toilets that flush to the septic tanks and 3.9 per cent have households that flush to sewage. Bayelsa State, on the other hand, accounted for the highest percentage of households that have toilet facilities in the water. This is followed by Rivers State with 30 per cent of households. Delta State has 20 per cent of households that use toilet facilities in the waters. Lagos State at 45 per cent has the highest percentage of households with toilets that flush to the septic tanks. This is followed by Enugu State at 29 per cent, Rivers at 28.3 per cent, Abia 23.1 per cent and Anambra 18.6 per cent. The percentage of households without any toilet facility was higher in Oyo State. A total of 53.3 per cent of households in the state do not have any toilet facility. Benue with 38.8 per cent ranks second in terms of households without any toilet facility. Plateau, Ekiti, Kwara and Niger follow simultaneously with 31.7 per cent, 31.3 per cent, 34.8 per cent and 14.7 per cent respectively. Classifying the housing units lived by Nigerians within the year, NBS disclosed that 66.3 per cent of households lived in single rooms. A total of 27.2 per cent of the households lived in whole buildings. While 5.8 per cent of the households lived in flats, 0.3 per cent lived in duplexes. A total of 0.4 per cent lived in unclassified accommodation. Categorising the housing units by states, Bauchi topped the list of states with 98.6 per cent of its households living in single room. Kebbi, Katsina, Borno, Yobe, Taraba, Ogun and Adamawa followed with 97.5 per cent, 94.7 per cent, 92.8 per cent, 92.2 per cent, 91.7 per cent, 86.8 per cent and 83.3 per cent respectively. For households living in flats, Lagos State topped the list with 26.4 per cent. The Federal Capital Territory, Bayelsa Sate, Jigawa, Oyo and Delta followed simultaneously with 17.8 per cent, 14.5 per cent, 9.3 per cent, 8.9 per cent and 8.7 per cent respectively. Imo State topped the list of households living in whole buildings with 81.8 per cent. The state was followed by Ebonyi, 73.5 per cent; Zamfara, 72.9 per cent; Anambra, 64.5 per cent, Jigawa, 59 per cent and Abia, 57 per cent. Kaduna, Lagos and Kebbi States occupy the bottom rung of the ladder for states whose households live in whole buildings with 1.3 per cent, 1.4 per cent and 1.8 per cent respectively

Accra is the only fairly good city Ghanaians can boast of. While in Naija we have Lagos, Abuja, Ph, Uyo, Calabar, Kano, Asaba, Warri, Benin, Kaduna. Accra is by no means close to any of these cities in terms of sophistication.

700,000 Passengers to Ride Abuja Light Rail Daily in 2015

I have told you baboons on many occasions that every problem Ghana has, Nigeria has 20x that problem.

If 100 Ghanaians shiit in the bush, 2000 Nigerians shiit in the bush.
If Ghana has 100 Prostitues, Nigeria would be dealing with 2000 of them.

I'II let you in on the formula if interested.

SMH. And I have spent about #40k on good light supply in my house. Truly, it is better to be a king in a corrupt Nigeria than be a next to a pauper in an overrated Ghana.

Ironi: I have told you baboons on many occasions that every problem Ghana has, Nigeria has 20x that problem.

If 100 Ghanaians shiit in the bush, 2000 Nigerians shiit in the bush.
If Ghana has 100 Prostitues, Nigeria would be dealing with 2000 of them.

I'II let you in on the formula if interested.
