Nigerians are our brothers, yes we both might have migrated from one area as we have language similarities: Nigerians(Yurobas) say "Ekaabo", Ghanaians (Akans) say "Akwaaba". Ekaabo and Akwaaba are the same and sounds the same. The Yurobas and Akans plus the rest of Akans in Ivory Coast are all from the same place/village/clan but migrated to the coast of West Africa.

In the same vein the Gas (people from Accra) migrated from Ife in Nigeria to present day Ghana.

How many Anthropologist do we have in Ghana? instead of them researching and writing books about our ancestries to educate us, they are rather reading, learning and writing Europeans and North American history. What a shame!

Nigerians are generally tall and look healthy. Ghanaians (especially the Ashantis) are short and look malnourished

Hey I thought you were going to put up an intelligent argument. Do you know the biological factors that make a person tall? Tell me, are all your siblings the same height as you?

RESPECT YOURSELF, MR. NONSENSE MAN, ANYWAY, THE AKAN IS MORE SIMILAR WITH THE EBOS THAN YUROBA. AKAN - BRA(COME), EBO - BEA(COME). AKAN - OWUSU, EBO - NWUSU. AKAN AND EBO BOTH SPEAK THE KWA - DIALECT.

A WONDERFUL PIECE, AS USUAL, FROM LIZZY. GHANA DIED THE DAY THAT LIZZY WAS ORDERED BY RAWLINGS TO PROCEED ON INDEFINITE LEAVE. GHANA IS YET TO RECOVER, IN TERMS OF CRITICAL MEDIA SCRUTINY, FROM SOCIAL, POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC SANITY.

I LITERALLY CRIED WHEN I REALIZED THE LOSS TO GHANA OF A GREAT DAUGHTER; I WAS A SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENT AT THAT TIME. I WISH HER ALL THE BEST.

Yes where is our history?
Our own and African history are lost forever due to colonization and Christianity and Islamic invasion of our continent.
Africans know the history of Israel from their Adam to their Christ . And we can't even recall the history of our ancestors of even four generations.
We don't know how Nigerians and Ghanaians seem to have their destiny interwovened

Every statement someone makes publicly is seen in political colors and we are now so prone and quick to call someone a liar at the least provocation. How many of you knew that oil was being extracted in Ghana until we really hit big comparatively in 2007? Who ever referred to Ghana as an oil producing country before 2007 in spite of the Saltpond fields. You are saying even if a gallon was found it was oil, good. Did Hon. Lee Ocran see it that way when it was announced in parliament that Ghana had found? The doubters quickly referred to the late R.R. Amponsah announcement of an oil find at Saltpond during the Busia regime, 1969- January 13, 1972. They called the 2007 find as palm kernel oil (adwe ngo) or better still dirty oil. How has she deceived the so called youth of today?
