Those of you saying another Nigerian leaked the video, are underestimating the power of Ghanaian security apparatus and investigative journalists. You can ask the chinese.
You can ask high profile members of both NDC and NPP, what happened to their secret meetings.
You can ask the Tanzania witch doctors.
In fact even in your own Nigeria, you can ask what Ghanaian investigative journalist did to the quack Nigerian doctors.
you can ask,

maybe they can tell you something you've never known. grin

point of correction......

all fingers are not equal...

can you compare USA and mexico

CAN you compare IPHONE and itel.

nope.... nigerians do not see you guys as inferior.. but we see you guys as brothers..

you guys are the junior

we the elder.........

so respect us..


look like ghana have hidden hatred for nigerians

Ghana has no hidden hatred for Nigerians... This thing you call hatred, we think it is paranoia. You guys are paranoid considering what you did to Ghanaians during the Ghana must go era, you think at any moment we will get up and say leave our country. Buy I can bet you, we won't, we have out grown that nonsense. So chill... When in Ghana comport yourself and we have no problem with you.

Imagine a group of Ghanaians in Nigeria mounting road blocks and throwing stones at Nigerian security official in Nigeria for whatever reasons, what would have happened to them. Just be honest with yourself. This is what your compatriots did to our security officials in Ghana.

Another scenario:
Imagine a Ghanaian kidnapper in Nigeria arrested for kidnapping three Nigerian girls in Nigeria, he is taken to police station, he escapes, he is rearrested, and he is literally treated with kid gloves, even telling the police what he likes and does not like to eat, giving wrong info, all this without even torturing him.

Another scenario: Imagine every year Ghana common out with some stupid list prohibiting made in Nigeria goods from entering Ghana,
This is what Nigeria does every year, they tell us what Ghanaian goods they want to accept in their country, irrespective of ECOWAS laws. But do you hear Ghana making noise, have you seen Ghana take it to ECOWAS parliament. But you scream and wail and cry and weep when Ghana prevents you access into their retail space.

So you see my friend, you seem to forget that we are just tolerating you people, because that's what an elder brother does, forget your size and wealth. Everyone knows who among the two countries behaves like a senior when confronted with issues. An example is the way you shot and killed that boko haram leader and his followers at an ordinary police station, no trial nothing. this could never happen in Ghana.

A younger brother has made so much money and suddenly begins to see his elder brother as inferior and that his elder brother should submit to him. That's nigeria for you.

So my brother respect is earned, it is not dished out on a silver platter. First learn to respect yourselves as great nation that you are, then respect others especially when you are in their countries, don't call them lazy simply because you found a business opportunity you are pursuing in their country, don't call all their women cheap simply because you found someone who was willing to share her body with you and I tell you everything will fall in place. Peace to you all

I read your comments with so much disgust! What is special about useless Ghana? Is it not the same country in which Nigerians are attacked for being successful and killed?
The fact remains Ghana will always be lesser a country to Nigeria! Badly behaved bunch of fools!! I totally agree with what the Professor has said, I only pity Nigerians for we suffer for our unpatriotism. The Professor should return and be given automatic employment here, these are the people we need in this country, people who can turn things around, people who can talk sense with courage irrespective of whose horse is gored. People with credibility!

Wow... Ghana is useless. OK We hear you. Thank you very much. You insult, look down on and denigrate every country. Mention one African country that Nigerians do not call useless and look down upon yet they troop there for whatever reason. Mention one

Also mind you. The way you see us, is the same way we see you.

Check out exactly what he said and judge if there's anything wrong with this. Instead of all Nigerians to support him they're talking thrash.




Most of what the professor said is full of lies and factual inaccuracies.
For example saying the current government came to power on the back of Nigeria bashing is a big lie. No government has ever come to power in Ghana by making Nigeria it's focus. We think we don't know what to use our precious time for...

What manpower does nigeria have that Ghana does not have. Is it technicians, artisans engineers, doctors? Name them and I will respond. You guys must understand that the professor was saying all these to make Nigerians feel better and make them take action. That is not a bad thing, but he should have been at least candid.

You don't expect the professor to say "well Ghana has a better education than us, they are better nation than us" bla bla. You don't expect him to say that... Do you?

Nigeria's image has been destroyed since 1900, from Taiwan to Malaysia to Italy to Indonesia to Kenya to UK to India... Should I go on. Ghana is not your enemy neither are we your problem. Look to the mirror and see the real enemy tarnishing your image, face that enemy head-on and you will see your international image and respect improve. And then you can leave Ghana alone

He is right. We are the ones holding their educational sector up. Mostly here in Ghana its the American or private international schools that give super quality education but even at that, their Ghanaian teachers there are not up to par academically.

I had to change schools for my children a lot before i found the best school for them owned by a former Ghanaian professor in the UK who came back to ghana to start a Church and his ministry owns the school. Its top notch

You there compare quality of Ghanaian teachers to that of Nigeria. Damn... Nigerians don't feel ashamed to lie to satisfy their ego. During your Ghana must go era, could you count the number of Ghanaian teachers including professors that trooped into your country to teach your people. Ghanaian teachers were hot cakes in your country.

Was it not in Nigeria that thousands of Nigerian teachers failed the exam that they set for their pupils. You guys have no shame at all. Comparing your teachers to that of Ghana's. Shake my head for you.

The fact that a Ghanaian university has a Nigerian as a visiting lecturer doesn't mean we are short of lectures, or your lectures are any better than Ghana's, there are also Ghanaian lecturers in Nigeria, in US, UK, Australia, etc. Besides your lecturers are dieing to come to Ghana because they will not be starved, they will be paid well, in fact a few months salary can make them a millionaire in Nigeria considering the current state of the naira against the cedi. They do not have to go on strike for the government to pay them.

So you guys take a chill pill... Your lecturers do not have three heads or super brain as that professor wants to make you believe. Nigerians are not any smarter. There are geniuses every where.

I agree with you but I don't see the current administration standing up to Ghana in as much I desire they do. Was it not PMB government that sent Ghanaian home in 1984? 2019, under the same Bihari, Ghana is manhandling Nigerians and Bihari isn't even making a single comment?

PMB, please save our pride,don't allow every country in Africa look down on us! If it is not South Africa, it will be Ghana, what nonsense! We really need to rejig our diplomatic team. Enough is enough!

My dear brother... I am a full blood proud Ghanaian and I can tell you Ghana does not look down on you. Even with this issue boiling up look at how our parliament and security forces are handling it.

You see my friend, Nigerians look down on every other African nation, especially if it's a full black nation. You will never hear a Nigerian say ordinary Libya, or common Israel, or ordinary Dubai.
Is it that you harbour inferiority complex towards your own black race? I sometimes wonder where this overbearing sense of pride came from. Do you feed the whole Africa, do you fund the annual budget of even Togo or Malawi even as small as they are?
One thing you forget while you exhibit this your attitude, is that Ghanaians are a very proud, if not the proudest set of African you can find. No country, I repeat no country can look down on us. We have a great and rich history in Africa, from the pre colonial, during the colonial era, to the post colonial era. We are proud of what we have done, even though we agree that we are far below our capacity and potential. But you don't see us looking down on other Africans, you don't see us treating other Africans, the way Nigerians want to treat us.

The coming decades are brimming with prospect of a bright future for us and Africa as a whole. And we believe Nigeria is going to be a key player to achieve this state of utopia. But one thing we will not allow you is to look down on us, break our laws with impunity, see our culture as inferior, etc. Walai we will respond.

That guy is simply being an idiot. Ghanaians are also neck deep in crime but they tend to cover themselves up so well because they are majorly a tourist country so want to protect their image before the outside world which isnt a bad thing. But why try to paint Nigerians as terrible people just so you can divert external interest from Nigeria to Ghana? How can they even hope to compete with Nigeria in anything?

Whenever i travel to my farm i go with police attachments and that is because the road between Asesewa and Akateng is notorious for armed robberies being perpetrated by Ghanaians. Because of the Volta river in Akateng there is a lot of commercial activity there and people from all over converge there to buy fish, farm produce, Live Animals, etc and most of the people travel with cash.

Because of the volume of robberies that take place there, the police decided to station Police Barriers almost every 2km from Before Asesewa all the way to Akateng.

People have been killed, Kidnapped, etc on that road by Ghanaians but you will never hear about it because they cover it up super fast. About 4 months ago the only big bank in Asesewa had their bullion van robbed on same road by Ghanaians and the driver killed but you will never hear about it.

They simply want to paint Nigeria bad because outside Nigeria, the next best place for investment in the west african sub region is Ghana. If they can rubbish us well enough then that would be a plus for them in terms of focus by investors.

You are a big liar, how old are you. Ghanaians covering up crime of citizens? Which country does that? Ghana is not communist nor socialist and government does not control media so how is crime hidden in order to keep the nation in good light. Ghanaians generally have a good name internationally not because we cover up but we are generally law abiding, and we try to respect our host and their culture, we don't look down on people. We are tolerant, calm and good natured.

We are slow starters, it takes soo much time for us to take action. To the average Nigerian, these qualities of the Ghanaian means he is dull, not smart, unintelligent etc... But we are cool with it.
But don't be deceived, don't underestimate what we are capable of doing... You will be shocked.

We don't deliberately tarnish your image with crime. That will be like killing a dog that is already dieing.

But when a Nigerian criminal commits crime in Ghana, how do you want us us report it. You want us to take the name Nigeria out and say for example man robs bank, instead of Nigerian man robs bank. Is that what you do in Nigeria to Ghanaian criminals, don't you add their nationality, is that not what is done even in the UK. So whats your problem.

Your Nigerian name is already tarnished, even today I saw one news where Fulani herdsmen have gone to massacre a whole village. Is it Ghana that did the reporting of such news. Focus on tackling insecurity in your country and you won't have to worry about your image internationally.

Very dull indeed. They level of their dullness is unreedemable.

Naturally Ghanuans are intellectually imbecilles. I have never be in same page with them before and won't be for their unacceptable jealous and hatred towards Nigerians.

Wow... Ghanaians are intellectually imbeciles. All Nigerians are intellectually superior than Ghanaians.... Wow. But I have heard this thing before, Nigerians are intellectually superior to every African nation. If you ask them " why is your country messed up if you are that intellectually superior or smart"? Their usual answer is "We have bad leaders"
But your leaders are part of the supposedly intellectually superior race called Nigerians. Or are the from mars. I can bet my life on this, your president buhari or Obasanjo would not even survive a parliamentary primaries not to talk of presidential primaries in Ghana. Yet millions of smart intellectually superior clever Nigerians voted them to lead 180 million people. Good for you guys... Keep looking down on other Africans.

Big brother to small brother view is the reason why Nigeria and Ghana are probably the closest countries in the west african sub region. Ghana is sorrounded on every side by french countries who do not like Ghana and Nigeria is the only "almost" co English speaking plus co ex british colony like Ghana.

Ghana depends on Nigeria for a lot of things. Like the professor said, in the area of education, Ghana depends heavily on Nigeria especially in the area of English or Brofu as you people call it.

There are places you will go to in Ghana and speak the simplest of English and what you will get would be shouts of praise of Brofu gbi Brofu Gbi everywhere because to them you just did the extra ordinary by speaking English.

If not for your current President education was a taboo for most families until he introduced free jhs and shs education. Now Nigerians are in high demand when it comes to teaching English in ghana. Our English to the average Ghanaian is exotic and because they always want to compete with Nigeria, our English teachers are like gold now to you.

Eeeiii... You can lie, I CROWN YOU THE CHIEF LIER OF NIGERIA... Ghanaians always say brofo brofo, it's a normal things, just like we say charlei. I taught in a school before and my students frequently use that term towards other students especially when they mention a big word in your speech even when it's grammatically wrong, it doesn't necessarily mean the person using the word has a good command of the English language or anything.

Ghana depends on Nigeria for English... Hahahahaaaa

Education is a taboo for families in Ghana. Hahahaaa.. this guy can lie. Is that how Nigerians are.. ooo please.

Mind you when it comes to issue of education, I mean teachers, and students. I can bet my life on it, Nigeria can't show us nothing. Trust me. We got some of the best teachers and our students outperform everybody even in Warcraft exams. There are schools in Nigeria that will employ a Ghanaian teacher over a Nigerian teacher. And you know it. A while back a friend posted a job for me in Abuja that states
"A Ghanaian Chemistry teacher wanted".

What the professor tried to do was to massage the Nigerian ego and zeal to take action. You don't expect him to say "Ghana has a better education than us, we can't compete with them"
But the professor know which is better between the two, if he will candid enough.

And that notion you Nigerians have about Ghana trying to compete with Nigeria. Well yes we want to compete with any country WORTH COMPETING with. But unfortunately we have moved passed competing with Nigeria. We have a higher standard now, and I can bet you Nigeria is not near our standard so chill

charley bro,I tiya plus most of dis Nigerians for dis forum oo,dem get some strange perception about Ghana and I just ignore most of them sometimes.To be a Ghanaian on this page,you will read a lot of strange stuffs about Ghana and Ghanaians.Unfortunately,99% of Ghanaians don't know that such an online forum exists so most of these perceptions go unanswered

Ooh Charlie... Since I signed up on this forum I have heard really silly and outrageous things about Ghana. Their common phrases are "imagine Ghana", "ordinary Ghana", "common Ghana", "little Ghana", etc. I sometimes laugh when I see them.
Some of them think Ghanaians are walking the streets and looking out for Nigerians to deport or exhibit xenophobic attitude on. But we don't even care. The Hausa's and the Yoruba have lived with us for centuries.
Most who say this have never been to Ghana before. They just take anything they see on the internet. Imagine one Nigerian told me she wants to come to Ghana but is afraid she would be attacked and maltreated. Another Nigerian asked her that " is it Ghana you are going to or S.A".
He told her if it's Ghana, then you have no problem. It took some time for the guy to actually convince her. And she has been here since 2016 and enjoying it. There are bad people everywhere. So Nigerians when you see us (security agencies) going after the bad Nigerians. It's for the good of both the good Nigerian who is coming in and the Ghanaian. I don't think you will be happy if you are robbed by fellow Nigerian or a Ghanaian in Ghana. So chill. We may not love each other. We just have to respect each other.

The whole thing were done by the military so it was a coup that was started by flight Lt john Rawlings.

You don't know anything about Ghana. Go and ask. There were university students on the streets chanting "let the blood flow" and chasing corrupt public officials. Rawlings and the military never could have done it without the support and encouragement of the civilian population. Every now and then I hear Nigerians complain about the politicians but I am yet to hear of a mass revolution to drum home a point. I heard of Tuface organising a demonstration and he was warned by the police- probably on the authority of the politicians, and not even ten of his funs could carry on with the demonstration. If it were Ghana, he (Tuface) will just have to mobilise his funs, set a new date and then voila, it's on... You can get a glimpse of what I am saying in our universities. Just recently when the KNUST university chancellor tried to be a Hitler, you can check what happened.. when the government tried to meddle in the internal affairs of UEW university, you can check what happened.

seunfly:


Two major giants in west africa(Nigeria and Ghana) are too careful of opening their borders because of job loss and they also sign individual trade agreement with out consideration to others, for instance Nigeria was being careful to sign some trade agreement with China, USA and EU but Ghana quickly signed it because of aid and international political gain. Nigeria has been kind to other west African niehbours but they turn their countries to dumping ground for foreign goods which in turn kills Nigeria industries, imagine the gain we have made in rice, vegetable oil, tomatos paste, noodles, pastas, furniture, poultry and fish even automotive industries, benin Republic has been sabotaging those gains for more than 30yrs by acting as a transit route into Nigeria until last four years when this government took a strong stands on it. For west africa to have serious trade integration, all the countries must have a clause that prevent selfish and individual decisions that will sabotaged job creation and industrial capacity within the region.

While I agree with your recommendations. First tell Nigeria to stop releasing that import prohibition list that even bans goods that are originally made in other ECOWAS nations especially Ghana. I hear some of you say these goods are originally made somewhere and brought to Ghana, but that's not true. On the contrary most of these goods are made, manufactured and packaged in Ghana. Nigeria must not fear competition. Nigerians would want their products to go to other countries, but do not want others products into their country. Imagine Nigeria refusing to sign the Africa free trade agreement, but I guess they will want to have their products in other countries. Forgetting that the agreement makes the African economy a one for all, all for one. And we all benefit.

Sorry dude, but I do not accord the dignity of a substantive response to anonymous folks who resort to CHILDISH personal insults and uncouth ad hominem attacks in public discourse. It either betrays the lack of a substantive argument or a crude upbringing. Bye Felicia!



Well I am sorry bro... I also considered most of your posts on this topic as insults to the good people of Ghana, hence my counter insults. It just gets so disheartening that Nigerians could take to public forums and say all sort of nasty things about a neighbour. While I apologise for my comment, I am glad you couldn't disprove any of what I said. That.

There are a number of Ghanaian companies doing well in Nigeria, who wouldn't want to take advantage of a 180 million market. To say Ghanaians do not have the financial muscle to do that is an insult. I have mentioned a number of them. You can check them out yourself.

Nigeria did not solely build the West Africa Gas Pipeline and the gas supplied is not free neither is it below world market price. I have read this erroneous statement time and again on this forum. Nigeria just has the majority share, and Ghana has quite a significant share in it as well.
In fact the amount of gas from Nigeria is less than what Ghanagas alone produces.

What I have realised is that Nigerians do not spare the time to sing into our ears the size of their GDP. They mostly use Lagos ,lol. GDP gives very little picture of the reality on the ground. Angola with a population of 27 million has a GDP of 150 billion dollar, but they are nowhere near Ghana in human development index and yet they have a budget of almost 50 billion dollars.

All I am trying to say is both Ghana and Nigeria can build a strong bond and establish a hegemony that will limit French and US influence in the region. Once again I apologise. Peace

Okay now this comment reeks of sentiment.
You have lots of companies in Nigeria worth up to a billion dollars, but we don't know about them because you are hiding them because of our xenophobic tendencies?? Tell me this is a joke...
First of all Nigeria doesn't have any xenophobic tendencies, there has never been a case when Nigerians just launched attacks on foreigners and foreign investments. It has NEVER happened, so why make things up just to prove your point??
You could atleast cite an instance.
If you have ever been in Nigeria, one thing you will notice is that Nigerians are generally rather oblivious to the presence of foreigners in our midst, we don't care. We don't know who they are, we take no notice of them, they just come in and flow with the crowd. More so, when Nigeria has over 200 ethnic groups, you won't even know who is a foreigner or whose Just from a different ethnic group.
Were not like Ghanaians, southeees, kenyans and most other Africans that take out time counting the number of foreigners in their country.. Loool
And secondly ,,how the heck do you hide a company worth over a billion dollars in a foreign country ??
That's the line I'm hoping is a joke, please tell me it's a joke... Lool
Why not tell me the companies you have here??
Just a name and I'll consult a search engine.
You even mentioned our oil and gas sector �
Which of the sectors players are from Ghana??
Total? Shell? Exxon Mobil? Perhars Agip or chevron.
Abi is it our own NNPC??

So why did you deport foreigners especially Ghanaians in the 80s if you are so hospitable as you want us to believe. What reason did you give for the deportation.Why do you still ban made in Ghana products from entering your country. You guys are just xenophobic the time has not yet come to exhibit it. Should I tell you about Kofi Barrels the on air personality. Should I tell you about the Africa World Airline and the discrimination they faced in Nigeria. Even the Ghanaians in your country generally they are law abiding but same cannot be said about you.
You guys are a bunch of hypocrites...

Well at this point I think I should call it a day.
If you believe that Ghana doesn't receive aid from the us, then there's no reason arguing further.
What will you say next, Nigeria receives aid from Ghana??
US aids Nigeria, Kenya, SA,, even Israel,.... And then there's Ghana, the West African country apparently too big for aid.


And yes Nigeria received aid from the US, UK etc unless you tell me USAID and UK AID and other NGO are not in Nigeria. I you surprised, what do you think Nigeria is? Canada?... Smh... Did you know Nigeria has received or should I say continue to receive the most aid in Africa, my friend at least if you want to boast, do so when you have the right, otherwise remain humble. Where does all the money you use to tackle polio comes from. Bunch of liers and pompous people. Did you know Nigeria alone has received a kind of financial aid the size equivalent to the total amount of money US gave to the entire Europe during the Marshall plan. Add that money on top of your oil money.. where did all the money go.. My friend talk well before I expose your lies.... Big for nothing country. You think we are kids eh..... Mtcheww

9jaRealist:


Did you go out there and count them yourself?

The reality is that we do NOT know the numbers because we (shamefully) do not even know how many we are. We also have little or no means of tracking the massive informal economy (and any informal wealth) in Nigeria. So there may well be more poor people than ESTIMATED or less, but the one CERTAINTY that we know for sure is that NOBODY knows the number of poor people in Nigeria because NOBODY counted them or even counted Nigerians for that matter. Sadly, what passes for “education” and/or public commentary in many parts of Africa is to simply cram-and-regurgitate (built upon the worn “repeat after me” chant of most African teachers) the narrative of others. SMH

Look at his mouth... We do not know the numbers ..bla bla bla. But you were able to count the number of Nigerian investments in Ghana, you were able to tell us Lagos GDP is far bigger than that of Kenya and Ghana combined. In fact you were able to comb though the entire Nigeria and told us you couldn't find even one Ghanaian company and investment in Nigeria. Shame on you. Your hatred for Ghana did not make you see that for a country like Nigeria that you said is a giant and that it has a GDP of 400 billion, it's annual budget is just a little above
that of Ghana. just 23 billion USD for 200 million people as against 16 billion for a population of 30 million. Now I am not even going to tell you about the hustle Ghanaian businessmen go through to establish branches in Nigeria. talk about the discrimination, the corruption and the under hand dealings and the number of palms that need to be greased. OK just so you know there are Ghanaian companies scattered all over the globe.. we don't brag about it. In oil and gas we have Kampac group and Springfield oil, in IT we have Rlg and Hubtel (formerly smsgh), in real estate we have wonda world estates, in fashion we have Nalem clothing, in airline we have Africa world Airline.. in banking and investment we have Databank, and UT holdings, in beverages we have Kasapreko and many many Ghanaian companies you never knew are doing great in Nigeria and elsewhere even America. The kind of frustrations Ghanaian entrepreneurs go through in Nigeria is not the same thing Nigerian businessmen go through in Ghana. So even if you invest in Ghana is it something you should boast about. There are Ghanaian companies in Kenya , Cote divoire Liberia , South Africa, Singapore , US, Philippines, etc... But you don't hear us boasting as if we are the ones who feed them. Or those Nigerian companies render free service to Ghanaians? you guys are just stupid. And you said you sell gas to Ghana below world price. Who lied to you. Boy get this into your head, Ghana BUYS gas from Nigeria. If you decide not to sell to us fine we can get from somewhere but to say you sell below price to us... OK boy stop deceiving yourself. Also you did not solely fund the the West Africa Gas pipeline... It is a joint venture... Thankbyou

chrisagyei:
Hello fellow haters,concerned and unconcerned people against Ghana the motherland.This is the official position of Ghana in this particular report
* Ghana was forced to accept mostly7000 hardened criminals in USA who were released from prison and claimed to come from Ghana.They're forcing us to accept them by giving them Ghanaian documents to prove their Ghanaian status so they deport them to Ghana
*Our foreign minister officially replied that we're not accepting a single person unless we as a sovereign country verify them personally to know their verbal claims of been Ghanaians.Note,most Africans especially West Africans try to take advantage of our excellent name and world recognition as the posterboy of West Africa and Africa as a whole to hide their .nationality.Personally most of these people can't speak a single local language in Ghana and besides some have been in the states almost all their lives and when they become ex convict,they force them back on us
*Ghana is the only country in Africa to have the guts to have said No to them and this force acceptance began in 2016 and since then,they've threatened visa sanctions and other sanctions on us for refusing their demands and since 2016 they have now carried out just a little fracture of their threat.This visa Restrictions only affect diplomats and state officials only and does not include normal visas.Their embassy released a statement clarifying the report and pleading to us to start negotiation to immediately lift the sanction.
*The citizens of Ghana fully support the stance of our president and government and believe that no country can bully our rights and impose demands on us.Other Africans have shown their solidarity on all social media platforms and supported our stance by being so bold to stand against our will and our right.They all wish their government have the balls to replicate this historical action.America needs us than we need them.We're the beacon of democracy,stability,economic progress,first pan African country and first independent black African country in Africa so no one dictates to us.We might retaliate the action.Their companies are all over us including exxonmobile trying to acquire contracts to manage our new numerous crude oil discovery sites which has the capacity to generate over a million barrel per day.Our gold resources which is the 10th largest gold reserves and production country in the world.2nd largest cocoa production country worldwide,top coffee producers,Africa's largest with 500 billion dollar bauxite reserves discovered in Atiwa Forest,Ghana,diamonds,manganese,,etc.They need us than ever and this sanction has been calculated because they want their share in all these resources discoveries other than that then the question is why now.They refused our ministers visa in 2009 when exxonmobile lost their bid to produce the our first oil well discovered.Ghana will not cave in.We're the gateway to Africa and to hell with their visa.We're coming big this time .The black star of Africa and our motto is always "Freedom And Justice".Thanks


Thanks my bro.... To hell with the US... They need us more than we need them. We can also impose sanctions on them. Who do they think they are. What pains me most are the countries who always claim they are big brother to Ghana. Listen to what they are saying. Big for nothing... I have always known that if Ghana had their kind of wealth and size, no western power can mess up in West Africa. Look at what France is also doing in the sub region.. By now Nigeria that always claim they are the giant should be able to mobilise the whole west Africa or ECOWAS to impose sanctions on France and the US. Remember what Nkrumah did when the world powers tried to dictate the price of his cocoa, he build siloa stocked the cocoa, the whites later came to him to beg for it at a time when it was scarce and he sold it to them at a higher price.They are rather the ones saying stupid things about Ghana.. I have said Ghana will show the way for the black race. It's just a matter of time. When Strife Masiyiwa was in Ghana sometime ago, this was what he said... I Will paraphrase it.... He said Ghana, 60 years ago, you start a revolution that saw the independence of the African continent, now the continent is counting on you to start another revolution that will usher us into development... That is my Ghana for you, small body, big brain , giant ambition and potential. We will pave the way for you Africa just count on us... O Ghana I have always known your potential far out ways all the gold, diamond and oil... Ghana Ghana Ghana oseeeee yieeeee.....
