The difference in social attitudes have created several contradictions that are also immediately obvious across borders. What would instantly become apparent at first when one crosses the Nigerian border is the sense of organisation that welcomes; a clear contrast to the chaos that has become our trademark. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I have mentioned the differences that would strike any visitor who crosses the Nigeria-Benin border, but there is a dangerous virus that I observe has infected all sides with equal devastation; corruption. Do not be fooled, Nigerian officials at border posts may be known for fleecing without fear, but the Togolese and Beninois officials seem even worse. In these countries you do not argue with the set rules: I guess this plays out in their subterranean dealings just as much as it does in their official duties. The contrast is mind boggling. The average Togolese or Beninois police officer- neatly dressed and whistle at the ready- seems the perfect picture of conscientiousness, and they are- most of the time. When encountered, their sense of commitment is immediately apparent. They carry out searches and ask the necessary questions with stern expressions that betray their preference for routine. However, it is with this same unyielding deportment that they demand set fees for no known reason. Drive through the border posts and check points in these countries and the persistence with which these demands are made rankles. At some of these checkpoints, the officers simply plead for a small cash gift; they do not insist but are quite persistent in their pleas, but they let you go if all documents are in order. In other checkpoints, however, they do not care much for your documents. They demand anything between 300 and 1000 CFA (between 20 and 400 Naira). These acts notwithstanding, I still believe there is a lot that our security agencies can learn from these countries. The Beninois and Togolese security officials seem a lot more dedicated to their jobs than ours in Nigeria. At every turn, their presence is clearly evident and they seem to have done a good job at keeping their cities safe without the high handed tactics for which our security officers back home are known. Beyond Nigeria, Republic of Benin, and Togo, Ghana is a world apart. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The sight of policemen displaying horse whips and ordering people to roll in puddles or pulling traffic offenders by their shirts and striking them in public appears an oddity here ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Regardless of its challenges, Ghana remains a good example from which we can learn important lessons. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 3 Likes |

Ghana's capital, Accra, has been tipped to be the fastest growing city for Africa millionaires starting from the end of 2012 to the year 2020. According to the annual New World Wealth update report which was released on Monday, August 5,2013, the number of millionaires in Accra is projected to grow by 8 per cent a year. Durban in South Africa would have the fastest growth in South Africa at 3.7 per cent, while seven other cities will grow millionaires faster than it. Johannesburg topped the list with 23,000 millionaires at the end of 2012, followed by Cairo with 12,000 millionaires and Lagos with 9,800 millionaires respectively. The city of Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial nerve centre currently ranks third in the league of cities with the highest number of millionaires in Africa, a report by the Oxford-based wealth consulting firm has said. Lagos which is also widely acknowledged as the most populous city in Nigeria, the second fastest growing city in Africa and the seventh fastest growing city in the world, equally commands a huge presence of people from diverse cultures and race. The city's prosperity has been attributed to its diversity coupled with superfluous natural and human resources as well as a huge quantum of daily commercial activities and transactions, especially from the sea ports and other high turn over business ventures.

Hhm-hhm am back again,the simple truth is that Ghanians envy Nigerians a lot.If you want to know,just take a trip down to that country listen to the radio,though its always in TWI their popular language(national o)the most thing you hear them talking is ANAGO meaning NIGERIANS this Nigerians that. Again,on their national TV,this time in english,cause i guess the person involve cannot speak TWI or they really want the massage to sink well. Micheal Essien,and some other stood round Emmanuel Adebayo(during his glorious years )saying"im not a Nigerian,am a Togolese my parents are bla blah blah,i dont have anything to do with Nigeria therefore people should stop calling me a Nigerian".and they cheered him. i pray he remain a TOGOLESE. I ask myself,it seems this people are jobless,for stuping down so low,could it be that their media has ran out of ideas? When you get to them at first,they start telling you how nice and hopitable they are,truly,you see them been nice,as u get closer,thinking u;ve gotten a friend, the next you hear is NIG this NIG that,tu face got 5 cars and why should that be?,Nijas are too proud,all the light skined actresses in nollywood was as a result of overbleaching(it now downed on me that 98%are very dark,the light skin ones are mixed)blah blah blah,i begin to wonder how to face new sermons on daily bases,are these friends or foes,could it be that they always ran out of ideas if it got to do with Nigeria. If you want to know the level of envy:GO TO GHANA AND WATCH NIG MATCH.Growing up,i remember my brothers jubilating on any GHANA winning match,and if i ask why,the reply is GHANS are our brothers,if not NIG IT SHOULD BE GHANA. Nigerians,yes our country is full of coruption,talents, brains,hardworking men and women.name it .I believe we will laugh out well someday. Ghanians,we are nice,our country is just perfct ok, but pls stop beefing.Critrrials are everly available. |

Bullshit, Nigerians are without faults. Go through this thread you will see more Nigerian vs nigerian hatred more so than what one will ever experience in Ghana. Look how y'all kill each other because of religion and tribal difference. |
