- Ghana shares a border with Ivory Coast but little is known about each other. today Ghnains share their thought about Cote D'Ivoire and its people.
#Ghana #CôtedIvoire
Grand-Bassam , a Nzima town was the first capital of Cote-d' Ivoire Before or shortly after our independence in 1960
Wow
Yep
Grand Bassam was the capital between 1893 and 1900. The capital was moved to Bingerville because the French kept dying of malaria and other fevers :). The capital moved to Abidjan in 1934, then to Yamoussoukro in 1983.
I agree we Ghanaians and Ivorians both share the same culture especially with the Akan ethnic group, language and our clothing which is kente. Whereas with Nigerians, they don’t always relate well with the Ghanaians because we don’t have a close border with them, so our cultures are somewhat different. Nigerians living in Ghana, it is harder for them to understand the Twi language because don’t have Akan. Some Ivorians may understand Twi because we share the Akan ethnic group.
Why do you guys always bring in Nigerians affairs in a different topic
@@stanleyogbolu861 we don't nigerians all ways say ghanian are their brother and that's brainwashing a lot of young ghanians into thinking that nigerians are our true brothers
Nigeria is nowhere near Ghana so I wonder why we consider Ghana as brothers. I thought we had more relations to Cameroon or even Benin
As Ivorian, we do know Ghanaian as brothers just the language divided us however we do have the same culture. When you arrive at the Airport ivory Coast it written Akwaba, which means Welcome and i saw the same going in Ghana as well. We are just conscientious our history on terms of culture is soo linked we basically share lots together
Oh yeeah
Ivory coast and Ghana we are one people one family, share thesame tribe Akan or Nzimaa Divided by France and Britin
nzima is Akan
Exactly
They also have Bonos in the Zanzan region in cote d’iviore
I'm Bono of ivory Coast
My maternal grandfather was a Nzima from Ghana. Your show gave me tears of joy. We are ONE. Colonization is the reason why there is a slight indifference between the two countries. English is the reason y all are so tight with Nigeria. Please embrace us.
Aww My sister. This touched my heart ❤
As an ivorian, I'm very pround to see our ghanian brothers speaking good of us, with great humility, that is what we, africans need. Ivorians and ghanians have been close since the creation of earth 'cause we are linked by so many facts. What can I say is only a great thank to our brothers of Ghana. Thank you very much, we belong together. I've been dreaming to pay one Day a visit to ghanians. Thank u.
Some part of Ivory coast they speak Akan even on their TV stations
Everybody is talking about the Akan culture but the Northern parts of both countries are also very similar
Oo really ?
Ghanaians real brothers are Ivorians
Ivorians are like Ghanaians, great people
The real brothers and sisters of Ghana. Not the other ones who come into our country in large numbers and commit crimes
Nigerians 😂
Hating
Lol
Kwamé n'kruma father is from a tribe in ivory Coast called krouman hint n'kruma!!! Because to remember his tribe his father gave him the name of his tribe. His grande father is buried there. The east of ivory Coast share the same culture with ghana,. The biggest part the north share the same culture with guinée, mali and burkina. The west with liberia.
Wow.
Think you guys for this nice video about my country. The church is as big as the heart of our first President Felix Houphouet Boigny who was christian and liked doing big thing to honor his catholic God. I am from Baoule community and we see Ghana as our root, or our ancestors country, so we are very close with your country also. We consider that Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire are brothers even if the colons have divided our people to dominate us.
Us Ashantis are very close even though our languages are different
Hey my bro, great work, nice content brother! I’m Ivorian from the Akan group specifically the (Baoulé tribe). And Yes the Ivory Coast population consists of 45% Akan including the Boualé, the Agni, Abron etc. We are mainly found in the Midlands part of the country in cities such as Yamoussoukro, Bouaké, Toumodi etc… but now scattered across the country. Long story short the Akan broke away from the Ashanti group in Ghana and landed in Ivory in the 16-17 Century! Lot of Love ❤❤❤
Wow! So they speak twi
As as Ghanaian in fact I miss life in Yamoussoukro and Bouaké way back in 2013, it's crazy and interesting. Local languages too same.
Ooo really
Just one people divided by history
I am Ivorian. My mother is Nzima and my father is Godie ( Southwest of Cote- dIvoire)
My Name is George Kwame Yeboah, my grand father is Baoule and grant mother from asante asokore
Actually most of the tribes of Ivory Coast and Ghana were literally united as one, or were almost of the same kingdoms. They strongly shared similar cultural and ethnic heritage before colonization. For example, at the prime of the Ashanti empire, it was said to have span right from middle belt of present day Ghana right through to cover a large part of Ivory Coast and to some part of Liberia. Similar things can be said of the Nzema and Ahanta tribes of western Ghana who currently share border with Ivory Coast.
It was the colonizers who split us between the French and the English during the scramble for Africa between the period of 1881 and 1914, and this has had serious ramifications on the continent even till this day.
The Scramble for Africa, also called the Partition of Africa, or the Conquest of Africa, was the invasion, annexation, division, and colonization of most of Africa by seven Western European powers during a short period known as the New Imperialism.
Another thing which further separated Ghana and Ivory Coast apart during the early days of decolonization was the divergent views or ideologies between Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana and Félix Houphouët-Boigny of Côte d'Ivoire over the exact approach for decolonizing Africa.
You see, these two great West Africa leaders who came from the same region (or perhaps the same tribe if not for the partition of Africa), and in most cases shared the same cultural and ethnic heritage developed strong opposing views, and to some extent fierce intellectual confrontation on the direction Africa should take concerning her position on decolonization, and even on the cold war, so much so to the point that it could easily have stalled the formation of the Organisation for African Unity ( OAU) .
These ideological position were largely influence and shaped by their experiences of colonialism.
Remember, Kwame Nkrumah (who belonged to the Casablanca group) envisioned and advanced the idea of radical liberation from colonial tentacles immediately while Félix Houphouët-Boigny (who belonged to the Monrovia group) favoured an incremental decolonization overtime, and the effect of these differences is what has fashioned Africa till today..
The OAU, now the African Union, has only achieved limited integration and unity of its member states. It is a reflection of the values of the Monrovia Group and a repudiation of the ideas of the Casablanca Group.
As well as disagreeing on the nature of African unity, the groups also took up conflicting positions on the then conflicts in Algerian and Congo. While the Casablanca Group's members pledged to support the Front de Liberation Nationale in its efforts in fighting for Algerian independence from France, the Monrovia Group backed their enemies, the French.
You see, the effect of the scramble for Africa which later resulted in a France-colonized Ivory Coast with the the policy of French Assimilation, and a Britain-colonized Gold Coast with a policy of Indirect rule, had a great impact on the psyche of the Africans.
And as Dr. Aboussou Dadoua's Divergent Perspective highlights the depth of colonialism on African psyche and the negative perception of "things African" that the colonial mindset generated, he explains that the exposure of Africans to different colonial ideologies, in this case Francophone and Anglophone ideologies, has set them on different courses and has created divergent loyalties, such that Félix Houphouët-Boigny saw himself more French than African.
These loyalties took new forms in the postcolonial era ( and even in some cases till today) where the new African players continue to feel affinity for their colonialist and seek patrons " helpers" and godfathers from outside the continent. They continue to behold their colonial masters, feel proud to vacation abroad and spend millions of dollars in medical tourism overseas without any shame. They feel better trading with entities outside the continent than from buying goods from their fellow African and waste precious resources on overseas engagement.
I wish both Ghanaian and the Ivorian people will try and unit and form a government similar what the US has. We can later consider Togo to this union since our brothers and sisters in TOGO are similar to our Ewe brothers and sisters in Ghana. Africa needs to destroy the borders created by the colonizers and create a new one that makes sense.
I really appreciate the effort you are making, i rarely comment on CZcams , but thank you from my heart for all you do. I am an ivoirian from the akan tribe and i would love to host you when you come to ivory coast, Abidjan yamoussoukro, Man(it is a city), Bouake, korogho, abengourou there's a lot to discover, Right now the country is in construction we are hosting AfCon 2023.
Small fact about the counrry :
+ just like Ghana the country has some kingdom (Nzima , Indenie, Mossou, kindjabo, sanwi etc)
Best road of west Africa and 4th in africa .
Around 25-26% of the country's population are foreigners.
The country is highly agricultural
Cacao , coffee , cotton, rubber , mango, cassava, etc ..
We say akwaba meaning welcome
We say assena or nasse or mdanasse =thank you...

Ghana and Ivory Coast are twins.

@@EkowAidoo im ivorian ,côte d'ivoire and Ghana we are true Brothers and sisters ! Akwaba= welcome ! The largest etnic group (akan ) come from Ghana many many time ago ! And the ancester of( akan etnic group are (abla pokou the Legendary Queen Who leave Ghana to come in côte d'ivoire thousands Years ago !

the people who live on the border with Ghana speaking and I understand very well the Ghanaian also the ways of dressing and very similar, even the foods of the 2 countries are very similar we eat plakali, foufou etcc we are all brothers and sisters in Africa but we Ivorians we have a special connection with you Ghanaians in my opinion we were one people before it is the colonizers who separated us and we speak French and you speak English
@@kingjames846 😭😭😭😭
Truely we most of ivorians akan people see ghaneans like our brouthers we share same culture...
Very true 👍
Nigerians always say Ghana and Nigeria are brothers that is is false! The way rhey hate Ghanaians can tell you we are not brothers! They are even happy for the wicked thing they did to Ghanaians ! They shout Ghana Must Go with happiness! Cote D'ivore are our blood Brothers in everything, language culture etc
@ Eric Baffour- Point of correct; it's not only Nigerians that says Nigerians and the are the same. Ghanaian also do! What's wrong with peoples like you who are good at nothing but twist facts. You have come on CZcams to tell lies. Haba! And the reason reason people from both side utter the statement is because we are interwoven in many ways through our interaction. Please use sense when putting words down. There are Ghanaians ladies who call me "my brother and l refer to them as my sisters" We are not forcing having cordial relationships with Ghanaians and neither are Ghanaians. It just happening naturally. So abeg!
@Eric Baffour- Regarding Ghana must go slogan. Even Ghanaians themselves use it including my partner who is from Ghana. So what nonsense are you spewing!? The slogan was from way back in the 80's because it was the woven bag that Ghanaians used mostly to pack their belongings when they were leaving Nigeria. Hence, the name is stucked to people tongues, both Nigerians and Ghanaians. So what's the problem? We cannot change history we can only move on from there and learn lessons that l believe we are still not learning. And as per expulsion, and before you feed the public with wrong information again, it was Ghana under Acheampong that first expelled Nigerians from Ghana and had all they worked for confiscated by the State of Ghana. When Ghanaians were expelled in the 80's the government of Nigeria allowed Ghanaians to take everything they could take with them and belonged to them. I remember very well because l was of age and l witnessed Ghanaians including my teachers who were Ghanaians leave Nigeria.
@@oluakinwale4859 you are mad if not illiterate! You don't even know who is Achampong yet you are displaying your ignorance here on him, Your Govt gave Ghanaians 2 weeks to leave Nigeria in 1983 and again in 1984 or be arrested, and you are here saying they took their everything? Wicked people! Ghana government in 1969 allowed all documented Nigerians to stay if they so wish, and gave non documented ones 6months to leave! Just shut up you are illiterate, I pity for your village women who is giving herself to you, they are your class, That bag could have been called Ghana bag! Why is it Ghana must go? It means you don't need Ghanaians so they must go, why are you in Ghana living with a Ghanaian woman? Are you not ashamed? If today ghana say Naija must go out from Ghana then where is the African brotherhood? Ghana from first day preached African unity up till today, Ghana loves African except those who try to raise shoulder on them
No, we never said that. We're aware that Ghana 🇬🇭 is Nigerian No 1 enemy. We can never call you our brothers and sisters. No, thanks.
@@oluakinwale4859 He conveniently forgot to mention that Ghanaians were first to expel Nigerians in 1969 during the war. They're more foes than friends.
One of the reasons why Ivorians speak much French is because of the 78 tribes and inter-tribal marriages AS French being the best way for two friends or spouses from two different tribes to communicate.
its obvious oo before borders there was only kingdoms and tribes so siblings/cousins ended up in different borders
Exactly
The biggest tribe in ivory coast are akan. They wear kente just like us. Nd ve same culture.
Same people 🇨🇮🇬🇭❤
It’s absolutely crazy how we are neighbors, we share the same genetics, the same culture, the same language yet we don’t know each other
Very interesting ooo
Frères ghanéens, le président Nkrumah est d'origine kroumen et du village Roc Bereby (mon village près de Grand Bereby). Nous avons vécu (mes défunts parents, ma grande soeur à Sans Pedro et moi) à Takorady dans les années 50. La famille William Toh y était. Les Kroumen travaillaient au port. Ma mère parlait couramment le fanti. Je suis allé en 1978 à Takorady pour voir la maison où nous habitions et le lieu de travail de mon père. Il y avait encore des Kroumen sur place pour témoigner. J'ai tenté de rencontrer la chefferie qui avait souhaité à son temps m'adopter (une histoire d'amour vraie et compliquée). Nkrumah est Kroumen de père. La tombe de son grand-père est à Roc. C'est la famille alliée Iraiwe. Nous, anciens de Takorady (familles
Wow . This is good to know.
I wish we Ivorians could speak English so we can get closer to our Ghaneans ans Nigerian brothers.
There are Akans in Ivory Coast.
Abla Poku was a Baoule queen that had to escape the Ashanti kingdom with her people- She led her people like Moses- sacrificed her son baby in the river for the crocodiles to let them cross- She screamed BA OU LI-- The child is dead, in tears, heartbroken she crossed and led her people to the East-center part of present-day Cote-Divoire
You Ghanaians, the only thing that makes you close with Nigeria is the colonial English language. You should know that Ghana and Ivory Coast mostly share Akan language and the same Akan culture. It is surprising that Ghanaians are not aware of that. Ghana and Ivory Coast are the same family divided by the colonial borders. Ghanaian school should teach the west African history to Ghanaian students.
I've been saying this for a long time bro. Some of us Ghanaians are too blind to see the truth. Ghana and nigeria don't speak the same language and are not even close to each other
You guys nailed it….
Kindly subscribe or share if u liked the video
Watching from Ivory Coast,
Ooooooo. I love to visit someday soon
Whenever you’re ready to come please let me know.
Thank u , will definitely will.
I live in the U.S , that is why I can express myself in English, I have been here 30 years,
Ghana and Ivory Coast were the same people before they were divided by the ... Thats the reason why they look similar and they have similar culture.
Go and visit there. They have high CPM than Ghana 🇬🇭 so videos from ivory Coast, CZcams pays more. Unfortunately most Ivorians don't know English. So is gonna be a problem with language barrier communicating with ordinary people in ivory Coast
Thank you Dear, I’m an Ivorian and I speak English. Most of them doesn’t want to make an effort to learn and speak English. Thank you very much. I love Ghanaians, they are beautiful and very good people. I’m from Krindjabo kingdom, it’s not far from Elubo, Aboisso. These are Akan group coming from Kumasi Agni, N’zima, to the city Yamoussoukro Baoulé, som many groups of Alan Group. I have on my father side an uncle Ghanain who is living in Takoradi City. Thank you. Some Ivorians have families living in Ghana. Some of their father or mother are coming from Ghana or Ivory Coast.
We Ghanaians need to learn our history well.Most Ivorians are Akans. Infact 40% are Akans just like Ghana where Akans are about 45%.
The Basilica of Our Lady of Peace in Yamoussoukro is undoubtedly one of the greatest prides of the Ivorian people. It was built by more than 24 national and international companies between 1986 and 1989. It was a project that brought together more than 1,500 African workers.
It was built on the plans of the architects Pierre Fakhoury and Patrick d'Hauthuille, chosen by President Félix Houphouët-Boigny, on February 4, 1986, after a competition organized in the period from the end of the year 1984 to that of the beginning of the year 1986. It was the Eiffel Construction Métallique company that built the largest dome ever built. the 1,500 African workers who participated in the project were placed under the control of Antoine Cesareo, director of major works for the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire.
The Basilica of Our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro is built in Yamoussoukro, the political and administrative capital of Côte d'Ivoire. Pope John Paul II consecrated the basilica on September 10, 1990. As a condition, he laid the cornerstone for a hospital to be built near the basilica. This Hospital, called Saint Joseph de Moscati, under construction since August 24, 2009, was delivered in January 2014.
According to a source familiar with the matter, pastoral management at the Basilica is provided by the Fathers of the Society of the Catholic Apostolate, commonly known as the Pallottine Fathers. The total cost of the work is estimated at 40 billion CFA francs (122 million euros, or 6% of the country's annual budget), which has not failed to arouse controversy. President Houphouët-Boigny replied that the building had been financed from his personal fortune.
This is a sweet history of this edifice. Thank you.
I love Ghana very much, but Ghanaians lack knowledge regarding surrounding country, they think they’re so far better than them… So funny 😆
The Akan group is the biggest group in Côte d'Ivoire. I am an Ivoiran and i love Ghana. I even live in the central region, Winneba. I have noticed that Ghanaians do not know the french country around them.
🇨🇮🇨🇮
One interesting thing:Ivory Coast won it's two AFCON cup by beating Ghana. The first in 1992 and the second in 2015.
😂
15:00 the official capital is yamoussoukro (the village of the first President Kro means village )
Yamoussoukro is a well planned city, bigger road , large avenue , the President realize that Abidjan was overpopulated (around 6 millions now) so yamoussoukro was designed to replace Abidjan as capital but the transfer has not been made yet , the embassies, presidential parliament and other administrative offices are still in Abidjan
That's the reason why people believe Abidjan is the capital , but things are changing , administrative infrastructures are own their way to be build to make the transfer possible ) 😎
Your language sounds like ours.
You’re right. Are you Ivorian?
✔✔✔
You:Why Ghanaians know more about Nigeria than Ivory coast
Me: Because of colonial influence
No, Ghanaian are just so obsess with Nigerians and it affairs.
There is more Akans in Ivory cost than Ghana it’s self their impact in Ivory coast it’s so important that you can find west ethnic groups who have similar culture.
In all akan people kro means twn
Please l want to ask a question so do people in Ivory Coast speak twi or suttin ?
Some do, the ones near the Bono region.
@@dramaluvamens9313 those are the Bonos of Ivory Coast , zan zan region
Last , and not least. We do have Brons ( Abrons ) and Koulangos they speak a language similar to TWI--- Too much to say - THE END,
I m very choc that ghanéens doesn’t know much about Côte d’Ivoire while ivoirien know about Ghana more ,you guys doesn’t study history in your school in Ghana,ivoirian speaks akye inzima and Akan language .why Ghana don’t travel .
Its very shocking , our shared history isn't stressed on. We know more about French assimilation than our shared cultural ,ethnic and human history
@@EkowAidoo Yeah it’s true. I was born here in the UK but my family is Ghanaian. My maternal aunty never knew about our shared history with Ivory Coast when I mentioned it to her. I told her there are Akans in Ivory Coast as well as Ghana but never knew about that either. Thanks for sharing this video.
Hahaha. Its a surprise to many here too. I guess we need to share our common culture and ancestry to the world .
It's true. As a ghanaian there are many ghanaians who have never travelled and literally know nothing about the outside world
Some of us know very very well❤
Asking wrong people in Ghana about Côte d’Ivoire. Half of all tribes in Ghana from Upper West region down to Western region are also in Eastern Côte d’Ivoire. Same names etc
It is not inherent only to ghanians but to anglophones .You anglophones don' t much interest on countries who speak french . More it is dificult to see a anglophone living in its country make effort to learn french .
I should have taking French class a bit serious.
The Ivorians dont have problems at all they are calm
I think the last dictator of Ivory Coast built that cathedral-looking structure....but I learned it was never completed.
Sobits not completely opened ?
Most Ivorian Akan are Kwa because is the mix of Guan , Ga-adangbe , Ewe, Krobo and Akan if you listen to the Akan lagoon like ; Akye,Ebrie, Krobou , Abbey Abidji and others , you will understand what i mean , Yamoussokro, Kro mean (town) in Anyi-baoule.
Common name in Côte d'Ivoire :
Kouakou
Kouamé

Can an Ivoirian Akan understand Twi, and can a Ghanaian Akan understand Baoule/Anyin? I don't just mean a few choice phrases, can they have a conversation?
Will find out.
Yes
I worked with ivorians and every conversation they had to themselves I head everything they were saying and I also have ivorian friend and every time I speak she understands me
@@lydiagyamara7758 Thanks, that's interesting to know
Yes they can
I spoke to one in Ivory Coast about three days ago and was shocked that I could understand every run she said to me
She has never been to Ghana before
We spoke on the phone and she was speaking baule and omg, I understood everything and I was shocked
Don’t they speak French in Ghana too in some places?
Officially no
The French influence is too much.
I also have an Ivorian girlfriend and I intend to marry her God's willing.
Wow. Good luck buddy!!
Please come. We'll visite you too.
I love Ghana. It said you are too diplolatic 🤡
We love u too
Both you presenters..very poor in your information on the country....over 40% of their population share culture and languages with Ghana.
Eoe. Thamk you for the correction.
We see Ivory Coast as our sisters bcos they are cool people not nigerians
Ghanaian always hating on Nigerians.. atleast ivorians love us
French and English are not African languages.
But you speak English, why shouldn't they speak French???? Stop being so ignorant with langages, you also have who speak Portuguese and Spanish and these languages are spoken worldwide. You mind has been poison against the French, Hence your English heritage😜
😆😆😅🤣🤣
@Relaty Vibe Yep chip off the old block but you can leave go of some of that hate though, not good for the health😜
Why you guys waiting to come spend weekend in Abidjan it’s take only 3 h hours.score d’ivoire is more developed than Ghana more infrastructure than Ghana and more food than Ghana 🇬🇭 ecowas countries are the best integrated in Africa there is free movement in ecowas countries you need only your idy even school idy to go any ecowas countries it’s look like Ghanaen doesn’t travel much .just next emweek jump to bus to Abidjan you welcome we sait Akwaba or dansai.
That will be awesome
Do you u live there ?
Hahaha u re funny bro, do you understand the word development? How can Ivory coast be more develop than Ghana? Apart from Abidjan where in ivory coast is more develop than other cities in Ghana? Yamusokro and bouake can never be compared to Kumasi. Look apart from Accra, takoradi, Kumasi, sunyani, cape coast, koforidua , tamale etc are better than the rest of the cities in ivory coast. Accra is wealthy than Abidjan but Abidjan have more infrastructures than Accra bcs u had stable government for close to thirty years or more. Can ur universities be compared to Ghana universities? Your hospitals and secondary Schools can never be compared to Ghana. Thank you bro you can what's up me for more education 0543130343

We don't know much about ivory Coast, I mean our current generation. We know more about Nigeria than Ivorians.
They want to be French but the French don't value them or want them in their country in France. Such a shame 😞.
Wow, you are sooooo right
Will love to visit one of these days , heard the boarder is opened ?
Who wants to be French? Who told you this lie ?
A next asinine comment! Do anyone tell you you want to be English because you are verse in English, act like them and wanting to go to England and America???? Give them a break and accept them for who they are. You are Anglophone because you speak English, they are Francophone because they speak French, accept it. They are Ivorians first and foremost. If they are adapting the French culture it is because of colonisation, just like you accepting the English culture and attitude of being mean, selfish and judgemental, it is all about YOU! Go and visite and see that they are Ivorians before being anyone else. Broading your mind.
@@danielvirginie1431 hey calm down. I don't mean it I a bad way. Abidjan aesthetic and structures look French, your cuisine is somehow French, your outlook on life is very French centred. Hint get offended. Afterall, France controls everything in Ivory Coast behind close doors. We speak English as second third language but there is nothing American or brutush about Ghanaians and Nigerians. My father schooled and grew up in ivory Coast partly. I visited ivory Coast many times with dad yo trade when I was young. So knows ivory Coast. Don't get offended.
I AM A NIGERIAN, BASE IN CÔTE D'IVOIRE.. INDEED THEY ARE LOVELY PEOPLE, AND THEY TREAT ALL FOREIGNERS WITH RESPECT ONLIKE GHANA, WHO HATE NIGERIA WITH PASSION AND YET CONSUME NIGERIA PRODUCT AND TRY TO COMPETE.
they Ghanaians assume Nigerians flow into there country is the same way Ghanaians are much here, yet they don't get discriminated against. I see and ivorian as a brother before I even see a Ghanaian.
Which NIGERIAN products do we consumed?
Tweaaa!
NIGERIAN products?
Can u name one of these Nigerian products for us?
Big for nothing 😂
Cote D'Ivoire and Ghana were part of the same tribe (the Akan tribe) before the colonisers divided them, so they are the same people; Ivorians speak French because they were colonised by the French. That's the reason why it seems like there are a lot of Ghanaians in Cote D'Ivoire. Ghanaians don't hate Nigerians, they go by their bad experiences with some Nigerians in Ghana. On the whole, Nigerians are nice people.
The irony. They are mostly Akans and some are Guan so same people but different colonial languages and arbitrary borders😂 the 'try to compete' is very telling but it's all good. If all Ghanaians hated Nigerians I don't think there will be that many here living, marrying, doing business peacefully. We say when you climb a good tree we will push you up. Forgive us if we won't tolerate certain behaviour on a fruitless quest to be seen as friendly to any and every body
How do you differentiate the two? They are the same people
