alex7071: If I'm asked to choose between living in Abuja or Accra I would choose Abuja without a second thought. I find Abuja safe and the people there calm to be honest. They tend to be quite honest too. I have also been to Ghana a few times also and although electricity is MORE CONSTANT generally it is not ACTUALLY CONSTANT electricity that is why they use the terms 'light off' and 'dumsor dumsor'. I was born and raised in London and have lived in Australia these countries ACTUALLY have CONSTANT electricity Ghana does not have that if we are being honest. I think Accra has nice places but I just prefer Abuja overall, especially as a place to live. The people really inspire me and the place is green and tranquil as well as the fantastic roads. 1 Like |

londoner:there is almost constant power in Accra now. I live in one of the High brow areas of Accra and I hardly ever experienced light off. Maybe once in one week for about 5 minutes or a little more or less some times or for a few hours in a month. It's almost the same in such low class areas of like Nungua and environs. I feel more at home in Ghana. No Police brutality, no Army harassment , no interest ethnic clashes or ethnically inspired genocide. No terrorism, taxi and car owners respect pedestrians by giving stopping for them to cross and they respect traffic. I can go on and on. There is a high level of thieves in some slum areas but no armed robbery or vandalization of public property. People here engage in Money rituals and diabolism a lot and they love fraud and scam so much but they love to make scorn with how much Nigerians are 419ers and ritualist. But above all, things are extremely much more expensive here that most things costs 2 times, or even 3 times what they cost in Nigeria. The standard of living is much more lower here. People don't have access to money except foreigners especially Nigerians spend the highest money here. A Ghanaian can go to the club and buy a bottle of beer throughout the night. The poverty level and standard of living of the Accras can be compared with only some parts of Northern Nigeria. I don't know where people here got it that service delivery is good in Ghana. Ghanaians don't know how to render services in Hotels or restaurants or anywhere. Except maybe I don't understand what services you guys mean. 3 Likes |

Ghanaians have a false sense of pride as serious as delusion de grandeur that's why you see them trying to rub shoulders with Nigeria and saying things like how Accra is the most beautiful city in Africa and how Ghana is the power house of Africa but in reality Obasanjo makes their president. Even the present government is an extension of Nigerias APC government. In terms of power and influence, only a demented fellow will compare Ghana and Nigeria. I laugh each time I go to West Hills malls and see the billboards littering everywhere saying how that High way is the busiest Highway in West Africa or how that part of the city is the fastest developing in the whole of West Africa. Does it mean the organ on government in charge of enlightening the public hasn't travel beyond Ghana? I've had lots of encounters with them. Ghanaians can be very bitter, easily get jealous and envious but hardly get violent or when they're provoked only make noise or only act out of fear. Trust a Ghanaian at your own peril. They go back at their words without thinking about it twice. They like to make others look bad and make themselves look good especially other nationalities. Backstabbing is their second name. And for those saying East Legon is almost as big as Abuja is laughable. Maybe I don't know East Legon anymore. And the guys saying Abuja is not big because there are slums is just amusing. If you remove the undeveloped and slum from Accra, then where is Accra? Though there are just little places like Idu Karmo or Agwan Shehu in Accra, it's because those places were demolished and they're only putting up temporary structures pending next demolition. And places like that exists in Accra as old as it is. And how does Accra being an old city justify it's dilapidated state? Is Accra older than London or Paris? I'm trying to be balanced in my comments but I know some hateful people will come here to attack. 3 Likes |

alex7071:Ghanaians as we are, just want you niggas to stop comparing your country to us. We are busy thinking of how deliver water supply to 100% of our population instead of the current 86% , electricity to 100% of our population instead of the current 90% and make sure they are stable and reliable year on year. Provide a better public transport . While you are on it comparing your country to every other country and your politicians can't seize comparing how the 10% of Lagos that is supplied with water consume more than the entire Ghana. Nigerians, all over I've met them can't seems to know how to live a honest and descent life. They are either stealing or engaged in internet fraud and can't seems to know how to respect their neighbors right to have a silent environment or they can't seem a to know how to clean their dustbins in order to prevent smells from emanating from them. |
Re: Abuja Vs Accra by londoner: 8:22pm On Mar 26, 2017 |
@alex7071......There is no such thing as 'almost constant'. Also is the whole of Ghana Accra? Electricity supply in Ghana has for the most part always been more constant than in many places in Nigeria though, with a population comparable to Lagos you would not be surprised by that. What is also a reality though is that some businesses in Ghana are now buying generators. Unlike us they don't broadcast their crime or violence as if it's a national sport, but it happens, albeit on a smaller scale. Ghanaians suffer from delusions of grandeur, agreed but many of us help them. They are simply a one eyed king in the land of the blind. I have seen their bitterness and jealousy even to their own. We do it too but theirs lies behind a smile so they hit you out of nowhere and for no apparent reason. I don't think we should deny the good they have but sometimes they just reeeeaaaaach. 2 Likes |

Also, I was in Abuja just last month, no police brutality was experienced or witnessed by me even though they patrol in the evening and stop cars in fact they were VERY polite. In fact in my five or so visits to Abuja I've never seen police brutality as such. I have seen the traffic staff be heavy handed once ( outside Wuse Market) with a driver that knowingly flauted the rules about parking/stopping there but if you follow the rules you are fine.I would imagine the police are brutal to criminals though. |
