Nigerians watch movies than Ghanaians. Ghana, Naija, Togo, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Mali. We're all one people. Jesus is not liked in Israel but seen as God in other parts of the world. That's how it can be. You can't have same level of popularity everywhere.

Tell that to the many elite Nigerians who have settled here and filled our universities with their children.
Ask them why they prefer it here.

Your response, whether reasoned or emotional, is more of an indictment of your character than an accurate description of Ghanaians.Idris Elba made no mention of his dissatisfaction with the people of Ghana. Rather it is you- the filthy and character flawed one, who is quick to thrash Ghana.One thing I can say with certainty is that the filthy fabric in which you try hard to cloak Ghana- the great nation, will come undone through the power of discernment.
Your awareness of Idris Elba's work, doesn't negate the fact that he is part Ghanaian. If the likes of you are tolerated in Ghana, because you
are an African, how much more a son of the land ? You figure that one out, you pathetic piece of filth.

All your hard work would be useless in the end unless you are able to use your skills to help educate the public and make change in the way they think. "The Oba of Ife is dead and Abobaku is on the ran, if caught, he would be buried alive with the king." The same practice goes on in all West Africa. Our people are primitive, superstitious and ignorant. the actresses have a wonderful opportunity to make change,but are rather making it worse.
So what is the solution ? 10 years ago

Abeku, you bring up a good point of concern to all of us- I hope. The least of the question/s that need answered is/are;
1. Were we ever educated or simply schooled to be fooled ?
2. Are we ready to shed our duality in the existentialist context ?
My response to the first question is that, the education we got was not meant to empower us with critical thinking. Its prime objective was to condition us into servitude, during and after the "master" is long gone.Granted we are in charge- doubtfully so, but our leaders have never seen a need to change the situation to benefit us all.They are direct beneficiaries of the skewed system, thus their desire to keep it so. Now we are witnessing a game of musical chairs where each leading political party waits its turn to milk the electorate. You better not be too hard on the defeated party in any elections, because you could be in that situation very soon. Until the "people" rise up and demand accountability in every facet of society, the condition will continue to deteriorate.
The second question is meant to tease us all into recognition of the duality of our world view. It is one thing having a core culture and advancing it according to the challenges of the times. However, bouncing between a native and foreign culture,as we seem to be doing, is an indication of identity crisis. If we were informed by our traditions that there is a god for rain, agriculture, health etc. It should be quite clear- thanks to the age of empirical and analytical reasoning (science) that the old belief is losing its appeal. Why then do our leaders keep falling back on old practices, like the one you mentioned about the Yoruba ? My answer is power. They will use whatever means- modern or not, to keep people down until they rise up and challenge the status quo.
Abeku, we Africans are not unique in this state. In medieval Europe, the King was the end all be all, as they say. They were the authority in any observation and phenomena, until brave scientists like Galileo challenged long held notions (the world is flat) with a well reasoned explanation. Now we are all beneficiaries of such bravery.
In the end, we must fail "forward" with what we know both innately and learned. It is then, that we will feel very comfortable adapting, casting off or fusing old and new for the better. After all any non/religious approach to life, places humanity at the center, so the truth can come from any quarter. Nothing thus stops us from creating something better with what we know from both worlds.
