6 Reasons Nigerians should visit Ghana

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The West African countries of Ghana and Nigeria have an ongoing rivalry between them akin to that of siblings. From football, to politics, to entertainment, citizens of each country always want to demonstrate their superiority over the other, howbeit not in a hateful or biased manner. It is always more bants than facts. There have been several episodes, of ‘social media wars’ or ‘Twitter Fights’ between citizens of both countries that leaves us all clutching our stomach with laughter. Through it all though, it is obvious that it is all love and sport.<br /> <br />In this post, we attempt to give reasons why Nigerians, despite the rivalry with their Ghanian counterparts, should visit the Gold Coast. Just like Nigeria, Ghana is rich in history, mineral resources, culture, tradition and places of interest to see and visit. <br /><br />
Many Nigerians do not even know that in Ghana you have Hausa and Fulani speaking people like there are in Nigeria.<br />
<br /><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/aSIHdUCWzwuENq4js657lI6EYMxD-vcqDGEGiGfLCDyo775NQTxT9EPkFti8Wjs-SgngF95lHs5agEkvUgaPJcRRABZ3fSoqHgVrecanOCw1Hd6CvAYVsLQpebbPi5yV60hqUaOKeRnyLE_yQg" /><br /><b>Cousins</b><br /><br />
Ghanians are like cousins to Nigerians. Visiting Ghana for a Nigerian is like visiting your cousins for holiday. There are lots you share in common, but somehow you all still do things differently. Case in point, the jollof. When Nigerians visit Ghana there is an air of familiarity about the place, some lingo and slangs are commonly used, but their pidgin is still very confusing. <br /><br />
<b> Food-</b> Shitor. Banku. Waakye. Jollof.<br />
<br />
The list is endless really. Ghanian cuisine can be a joy to experience and even though the eternal battle over whose jollof is better still rages on, no Nigerian should visit Ghana without tasting the jollof. Ghanaian food is actually so popular in Nigeria that there are bukas and restaurants in Lagos dedicated to selling just Ghanaian meals. The most popular among them is Ghana High.<br /><br />
<b>Shatta Wale-</b> Shatta Wale is Ghana’s biggest music sensation at the moment. And only recently he has had a war of words with Nigerian pop artistes on social media. As long as you are not one to take these things too seriously, visiting Ghana to see a Shatta Wale show should be on your list of things to do, at least that way you can see what the hype is about yourself and tell if he is as great as he says he really is.<br />
<br /><b>Beaches-</b> Ghana is blessed with such an impressive stretch of beach line. If you are tired of the Elegushi and Oniru beaches of Lagos, switch it up by exploring the coastline of Labadi and Kobrobite. If you are enthusiastic about wildlife, visit the Cocoloco beach where you would find turtles and a large number of river birds. <a href="https://travel.jumia.com/en-gb/landing/ghana-beach-resorts">Beach Resorts in Ghana</a> are beautiful and spending a night or more in one of them would greatly enrich your Ghana experience. Hospitality in Ghana is amazing with big establishments and <a href="https://travel.jumia.com/en-gb/hotels/ghana/accra/6297295">accra hotels</a> offering top notch service to travelers.<br />
<br /><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/1xQ64erdBIQrrZpjQM63CrWA7xoj5eHKnJC-YhpFDKK3S2b8jpCSoZ1BQgZ_AMmS1B5xrxjXNnWus1pqV_PIuN0NDZO3ed0iiAGk6V2Wk2QOZeEbx8uOL338Zi45MMp5zrYRrn0D-nT_F0qP7w" /><br /><b>Charle Wote</b><br />
<b> </b><br />We have Calabar Carnival. They have Charle Wote. This annual street cum art festival does get bigger and better every year with amazing exhibitions, musical performances, art installations, food,  merchandise vendors as well as live music and dance that goes on well into the night. For anyone who enjoys having a good time, when in Ghana, Charle Wote is a must attend.<br /><br />
<b>Nigerian Community-</b> There is a perpetually growing Nigerian community in Ghana and visiting Ghana would definitely feel like home. It wont be long before you notice the familiar accent of a Nigerian, no matter where he is from back home and quickly tag them as your brother or your sister. Especially in Ghanian Universities where many Nigerians turn to as an alternative to schooling in Europe or right here at home.<br />

Nine-year-old<b> Jack Davis</b> came across a job opening within federal agency, <b>NASA (</b>National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and even though he's only in the fourth grade, the self-proclaimed <b>"Guardian of the Galaxy</b>" thought he could be the perfect candidate. <br />

<br />

He sent his application via a handwritten letter that reads, '<i>My name is Jack Davis and I would like to apply for the <b>planetary protection officer</b>
 job. I may be nine but I think I would be fit for the job. One of the 
reasons is my sister says I am an alien. Also, I have seen almost all 
the space and alien movies I can see. I have also seen the show <b>Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D</b>. and hope to see the movie <b>Men in Black</b>. I am great at video games. I am young so I can learn to think like an Alien." </i><br />

<br />

Instead of tossing the letter to the side, NASA decided to respond in a viral letter that reads, <i>'our Planetary Protection Officer position is really cool and is very important work. It's about protecting <b>Earth</b> from tiny <b>microbes</b>
 when we bring back samples from the Moon, asteroids and Mars. It's also
 about protecting other planets and moons from our germs as we 
responsibly explore the <b>Solar System</b>. We are always 
looking for bright future scientists and engineers to help us, so I hope
 you will study hard and do well in school. We hope to see you here at <b>NASA</b> one of these days'.</i><br />

<br />

Jack also received a phone call from NASA's Planetary Research 
Director at NASA Headquarters in Washington to congratulate him on his 
interest in the position.<br />

Legendary Nigerian musician, Majek Fashek has exclusively revealed 
why he choose to identify more with his mothers lineage rather than his 
father.<br />
<br />
Majek who was born to a Yoruba father and an Edo Princess mum spoke 
to LIB saying, 'I choose to identify more with my mum because my mother 
was a Princess in Edo and she was more discipline than my father. My 
father was a player so to an extent I respected my mother mum. My mum 
even bought me my first guitar and I can proudly say she showed me the 
way'.<br />

Then he went on to say, 'as a princess in the palace my mum used to 
be part of the many rituals they do and she even had a shrine called 
'Olokun Shrine', but she later converted to Christianity and we started 
going to a white garment church where I started singing and playing the 
guitar'.<br />
