We grew up being told that Africans were starving and in need of saving. As an adult I began to research on my own and have found that African countries are awesome and colonizers have been trying to strip the wealth of the nations since colonizers began colonizing there. I cannot wait to get to Ghana!

Take solace Nigerians are “treated worse” in Ghana and vice versa … also most of us when we land in US don’t exactly have a “red carpet” treatment from “kinfolk” . Most important advise to a “diasporan” is to go to Ghana for your own personal or individual education or journey the people and their reaction however good bad tasteless tactless should be another learning experience

Akata is not a Ghanaian word. It's rather a Nigerian word. Ghanaians came to hear the word hear in the US. If you should travel to Ghana and asked a local what Akata means? I bet 99.9% will not know the meaning.

Most Africans still don't know about African Americans. The year of return was the eye opener for alot of Ghanaians knowing about our brothers and sisters sold into slavery who are now coming back. It will take years to bridge the gap.

Nigerians are not treated badly in ghana. Some of Nigerians are rather treating Ghanaians badly via crimes, arm robbery etc. January 28 this year, 4 nigerians robbed a gas station and killed a security guard . Ghana police just arrested them.

No i speak historically.. there was no bad blood until the CIA inspired coup that took out Nkrumah... those people and their descendants were anti African Unity so we threw Nigerians who indeed were Ghanaians out of Ghana and Nigeria did the same to Ghanaians in the 80's

That's a Nigerian word dummy. Most Ghanaians don't even use that word. Just by that statement alone this is how I know for a fact that you have *never* even been to Ghana or have been around Ghanaians so just shut your mouth cause you sound very ignorant.

Africa amplified from Ghana is a good idea because in the region of Africa where Ghana is located, there is a country called Togo where modern slavers have organized themselves through a bloody and dynastic tyranny that represents death and suffering, deprivation and misery to millions for almost six decades. Such a tyranny has been selected as the chief negotiator for countries of Africa, of the Caribbean, and the Pacific. In other words, millions and millions who have already been exploited, ruined over the ages, in the framework of cooperation with the European Union. It is not a country like Ghana that is not a tyranny but a democracy they have chosen. The worst they have selected, a bloody dynastic tyrannical regime they have amplified. Therefore, you are doing the right thing to amplify what is good for Afruca.

Besides Nigerians and Ghanaians better note that Djoloff/jollof is originally senegambia/Mali but Anglo africa has a big “mouth” so we’ve kind of modified it and taken it over… note that historically Ghanaians and Nigerians were never originally “rice” eating people fufu banku pounded yam eba amala/konkonte were our foods.. the countries around

Everyone knows that Jollof is a Senegambia word. Ghana was the first to copy jollof from Gambia. Nigeria only started making jollof rice popular since the 90s.

@@nestakallon6649 The people in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Mali that cook Jollof rice did not have to learn how to cook it. They already knew how to cook it because they are from the same kind of ethnic groups that are inside Gambia and Senegal. Ghana people had to learn it from the people of Sierra Leone and Gambia who came to work in Ghana in the early 50s and 60s.
