In 2005 I visited Republic of Ghana on opor-garai for a duad of days.
The flying was nigh lx minutes from Lagos in addition to it felt similar visiting Abuja from Lagos.
On arrival, ane of the immigration guys tried to “obtain” me [Nigerian means of proverb "to con"].
He had this large smiling that I interpreted to be: “You know how it is inwards Naija now, driblet something jor!”
I ignored him.
It turned out to hold upward a memorable catch though.
While I waited for my friend Francois to selection me upward at a pub, they were playing Nigerian hits including Nigeria Jajagaja past times Eedris Abdulkareem, quite a hitting at that time.
It turned out that Nigerian hits were considered to hold upward hits inwards Republic of Ghana every bit well.
Before long, the stereotype of Ghanaian girls beingness all nighttime in addition to “manly” (translated loosely to hateful a adult woman that has muscles similar a man) was dispelled.
Francois in addition to Victor-The-Great gave me the trip of my life in addition to I visited many places inwards Accra.
The Republic of Ghana I saw was beautiful, people were nice, the nutrient inwards Osu was delicious in addition to for the commencement fourth dimension inwards my life, I could non complete a regular constituent of nutrient I purchased inwards a fast-food restaurant, thank y'all to Papaye. It was that much.
Also I became a millionaire for the commencement fourth dimension when I exchanged or in addition to thus dollar notes for over a ane 1000 one thousand Cedis (It was earlier the province re-denominated her currency y'all see).
Here is the to a greater extent than relevant run though:
My friends told stories in addition to jokes, many involving Nigeria in addition to Ghana. You’d listen ridiculous gist like, “If y'all larn to or in addition to thus run of the world, you’ll come across billboards that says everyone inwards the basis is welcome hither except Nigerians in addition to Ghanaians!”.
When I was asked to tell jokes nigh Republic of Ghana that were pop inwards Nigeria, I had none!
So my friend, I intend Republic of Ghana looks upward to Nigeria inwards many ways except inwards football game where the rivalry is strong.
They tell jokes in addition to all in addition to heed to our songs.
Nigerians on the other side don’t pay also much attending to Ghana. Don’t larn me incorrect we’re non looking downward on the country, nosotros only experience they’re our honey neighbors in addition to they’re non noisy.

We honour Nigeria, y'all know, similar the cooler older blood brother who is hip in addition to has all the girls.
The ane who, albeit having dropped out of school, withal managed to discovery his means inwards the basis in addition to larn successful.
The blood brother that loves y'all in addition to won't hesitate to come upward to your defense, BUT withal messes alongside y'all from fourth dimension to time.
I intend Nigerians on the other mitt come across us every bit the younger blood brother who has his human activeness together, the ane that's praised past times the household unit of measurement for beingness tactical, smart in addition to having the focus to consummate his degree.
The less noisy ane who somehow admires his large brother, fifty-fifty though sibling rivalry must takes precedence.
There are differences, but the similarities far outweigh them.
One of the major ethnic groups inwards Ghana, the Ga, who occupy the Greater Accra percentage genuinely migrated from Ile-Ife inwards Nigeria.
They are genuinely behaviorally really similar to a stereotypical Nigerian.
I wouldn't similar to intend that in that location is whatever existent enmity betwixt the 2 countries.
It's non similar nosotros are e'er going to pop off to state of war over whose Jollof is better, but it's highly probable nosotros volition pop off to state of war for each other if the other called for help.

As a Nigerian that spent his college years inwards Ghana, I come across Ghanaians every bit my brothers from the other side.
Although in that location are or in addition to thus ego in addition to dislike past times both countries at intervals…I only come across it every bit a good for y'all competition.
An average Nigerian love Republic of Ghana in addition to withal cause got nostalgic feeling when it comes to "waakye” spell Ghanaians love our swag…the means nosotros dress, work our pidgin English linguistic communication in addition to all that.
While nosotros Nigerians discovery their pidgin English linguistic communication funny:
"I dey for route top!"
Lol. Imagine. Should y'all hold upward nether the route before?
Michael Agyeman says:
I am Ghanaian.
I larn the feeling Nigerians come across us every bit beingness their smaller brother, slightly dumber, to a greater extent than clean-cut in addition to less street-wise than they themselves are.
Kind of similar the means Americans come across Canadians.
There is a lot of honour betwixt the 2 nations in addition to a lot of closeness, fifty-fifty though in that location are 2 countries betwixt us.
Nigeria is bigger, richer in addition to and thus to a greater extent than influential in addition to every bit such the average Nigerian feels bigger than the average Ghanaian.
But non genuinely inwards a harmful way, I think. Sumber http://www.dnbstories.com/
