Hahah, first of all tell me if Ghanians are not scattered all over the world. if you think they are not, then maybe you should try and move out of ur Village, Yes i agree with u that we have insecurity, electricity problems in Nigeria, that is our own problem, and we dont need other people to come and solve it for us. but i want you to also agree with me that Ghana are not free from these aether, America was not build in one day. Americans are the world leaders. Come to USA and see the rate of Gun crime here. American dont need other country to solve their problems for them. Nigerians dont need other country to solve their problem for them. So you Ghanians should as well face urs and stop pointing fingers at others, u are not free from these crime. You talk about Oil, Do you think that Oil is the only natural resources in Nigeria?? Wakeup dude, bcos u are sleeping.

I will not advise any Ghanaian woman to travel to any part of the middle east just to become a maid or house help. I live in Abu Dhabi and have travelled around a bit. Maids are looked down upon and they have a uniform they wear, even when they are out with their masters/madams shopping. And for the men, construction work here is very challenging considering the hot weather. Accommodation conditions are very bad. Please, unless you are desperate and I mean DESPERATE, do not travel to this part of the world for such jobs. I am here as a teacher and it's great but for jobs like the ones mentioned above please stay in Ghana. These agents are in for their money so do not care about you.

All of Akon's music music video in beautiful black girls, so I do not see the reason why they will discriminate based on color. Our problem as Ghanaians is that, we just write things to get fame not verifying the truth or listening to the other side but just jump into conclusion.

Ghanaians are ungrateful humanbeings, they run to other neigbouring countries in times of their trouble as economic refugees. The average Ghanaian is a bigot who is quick to insult others when they themselves are full of dirty and disgraceful images that will remain with them till eternity.

I can still remember vividly the convoy of 40 trailer vehicles in 1985, loaded with humanitarian relief items as rice, maize, vegetable oil & lots of assorted food items from Nigerian Government to the people of this ungrateful country called Ghana at the height of the useless revolution that brought untold hunger to this country. Today Ghanaians still play second fiddle to Nigeria & Senegal in entertainment and all they choose to do is to insult and run their mouth rough at every given moment. Jealous Stupid People.

Shut the fuck up man. What does that have to do with the topic at hand. It is thinking like yours that make other African countries, not just Ghana, hate Nigerians. For your info, the issue at hand is not about Ghana vs. Nigeria. This issue affects all black people. If such discrimination is allowed to happen in music videos, what stops it from extending to other areas. We may soon hear that a woman was refused job because she was darkskinned. This is blatant discrimination.

Why are you Ghanaian IMBECILES always so quick to believe anything you hear and like spreading all sorts of lies?

Low intelligence evil hate-filled animals. Try using your brains to THINK for a change. Where were you when Akon released his song Mama Africa?

Futhermore, if Akon and WizKid are not in Ghana yet, obviously someone in Ghana, an agent or organiser, is picking the girls for the videos. In the music industry, which internationally reknown singer spends his time handpicking the girls to appear in videos?

Backward lowlife African idiots and stupid hate-filled vermin.

Seek education and try to use your monkey brains for sensible thinking instead of envious and evil thoughts.

One smart comment! i was going to write the same thing until i saw your comment. You can easily infer from the writer's tone that she/he has some personal beef with the whole selection system, either because someone he/she is affiliated with was not selected.
Y'all jump into conclusion believing this writer without any proof. Akon was not even around when the selection was made. Of course he may ask that pretty hot chicks are selected for the video but not necessarily color . The color of the skin may have less to do with it. I believe if there was a pretty black girl and she had the skills they were looking for, she would surely have been selected
And if we think black is not beautiful anymore, " Na who cause am"? No one but ourselves to blame. Inferiority complex. When did "Nanso 3b3n start in ghana? Long time ago.
Don't jump to judgement anytime you hear one side of a story.
Unfortunately that is what most of us are guilty of .
if there's a video from Africa and especially from ghana, we must present the best chicks. We must represent!. If you are black , pretty and have good skills , you get selected. Period! Don't pay any attention to unsubstantiated , peevish comments and start making ignorant comments.

Boycott the video and their music to punish them. If you don't like our girls' dark skin, you don't like our money; it's dark too!

I have been to ghana several times, they love light and white skin. they go gaga for obroni.

Look at your movies, do you not see how you lift up the mixed ones? The mixed ones hardly play the poor and retched roles, you leave that for the likes of Jackie Appiah.

Nigeria on the other hand puts dark skinned women at the front too.

If you read the top ten most desirable actresses in Nigeria at least the first three will be dark. From Genny to Ini etc is it music, look at Tiwa......we rep dark skinned beauties.

Wiz Kid has dark skinned girls in his vids so people should stop the nonesense.

Many times your own Ghanaian artists stretch their neck to find the mixed girls to put in their videos.

They did not even day that the they was wiz etc....you just love to fight anything Nigerian thats all........lol

I never saw those so - called light skin playing the peasant roles in Ghanaian movies, even if they do those type of movies are just a few, however the dark skinned ones even when they are the most successful in their careers are made to play these type of roles and yet you are all here nagging like the immature and hypocrite people you are, I am a Ghanaian and I say you all should go back and fix your marginalized mentality before you come forth to spill filth and point out fingers, any one has the freedom of choice, they could have opted for only dark girls and could have refused all the light skinned girls who came, will that have been ok then? Hypocracy at it's highest indeed....

this is shameful and discriminating against our own race. how can Africa rise when such ignorant unconscious so-called celebrities promote racial discrimination against each other (light skin vs black skin). black is beautiful. we are blessed with mellanin. and that so-called akon is very dark so i dont know why his dumb uneducated unconscious ass is encouraging this foolishness. i guess he does not feel comfortable in his own skin. this is what we call mental slavery. smdh. Ghana should not condone this. Ghana should uninvite him.

As a dark skinned African American I am glad that the models spoke up about these two racist behavior
with discrimination. Who made lighter more beautiful, Who?
