I like it when Ghanaians approach people with their local dialect... That tells Ghanaians dont discriminate by looking at you...if u dont tell them...every Ghanaian see any black person as one if them

[@harrytetteytetteh187]

Spot on… we do not discriminate…. We assume we all one hence the first approach is the local dialect… that’s what a lot of foreigners don’t recognize

Thank you so much.

Ghana does not have electricity generation issues as they have excess capacity. You experience power cut in Ghana only if there is a problem with the system ie distribution or equipment.

[@IamAfrikan]

Thanks for the insight. It seems Ghana also supply neighbouring countries like Togo and Burkina Faso. Am I correct?

[@nobs997]

Which Ghana were talking about?

[@donnbiggie]

@@donnbiggie Sorry to burst your bubble

[@donnbiggie]

@@IamAfrikan Ghana already supply electricity to Togo, Burkina Faso and Benin but in limited quantities due to the limited capacity of existing transmission lines. Currently, new transmission lines to Togo and Benin are under construction. Ghana has excess capacity of about 2,000 Megawatts.

the average Ghanaian child speaks 3 languages. His Language, language of this friends and language spoken at school

[@wisemansimpson5986]

Hi please the children that you see from Niger 🇳🇪 Burkina 🇧🇫 and Mali 🇲🇱 so please Ghanaians doesn't ask money like as Nigerians asking in Europeans countries here so please

[@IamAfrikan]

Hi, thanks for your comment. While I appreciate you sharing your thoughts which a lot of people shared the same thing. I am referring to children begging on the street which many commentators mentioned that they are not Ghanaian. However, it's unnecessarily what you added in the latter part of your comment. We are trying to preach unity among ourselves. It is important we put our messages across without offending one another. Friendly and rivalry banter is fine but there should be boundary to how we do it. Anyways, thanks for your comment and I love you brother.

[@bahenkan]

​@I am Afrikan Well said Bro.

[@Six20tv]

@@IamAfrikan Thanks for your reply... I doubt a WISEMAN typed that.

[@ing.mhickey7735]

Its about time we should be open minded and admit our challenges.

[@Rosemar87]

The children and the adult that beg on Ghana's streets are not Ghanians. They mostly comes from the northern African countries. I think they come down here because they know that Ghanians are sympathetic people. Iook at their futures carefully and you can tell they don't have the West African features. One love Africa.

[@emmanuelarthur354]

An average Ghanaian child goes to school. Most of these kids begging on the streets are from other west African countries.

[@IamAfrikan]

Thanks for the comment and clarification.

[@patrinaadama]

They're mostly from Niger they come and beg and go bring others like a business is pathetic

[@nobs997]

You are living in denial, Ghana has its fair share of biting poverty

[@emmanuelarthur354]

We are not discussing riches here. As rich as America is it has more homeless persons than Ghana. We are talking about principles. Again I’ll say it loud Ghanaians have free education. We don’t send kids to beg in traffic.

[@nobs997]

@@emmanuelarthur354 Most homeless people in America are drug addicts who refuse to live by the rule and by law you can not force them. For your information, elementary and high school education are free. On the other hands the poorest of the poors in Ghana are not living but merely existing. The so-called free school is a joke because most schools in the impoverished areas have no desks and chairs.

[@asianonscore]

Good observation!! Nigeria and Ghana share a lot of similarities from food, language like yoruba, (Ga tribe in Ghana traced the ancestral to Yoruba).. Most of these similarities are due to the fact that we were colonized by Britain. Most of the children u saw on the street are not Ghanaians. They are different west African states like Niger, Mali, Burkina

[@IamAfrikan]

Thanks for the insight. I have seen a lot of comments here that the kids begging on the street are not Ghanaians. You just echoed this also. Yes, you are right about Nigeria and Ghana similarities. I think we have some similarities that are not related to both countries been colonised by Britain. But, I agree with you about some of the similarities came as a result of colonisation. Thanks for the comment.

[@emmanuelegote]

Ghanaians really love and are proud our culture. 🇬🇭

[@yawfrimpong2941]

Most of the children are not Ghanaian .foreigners from some ECOWAS states who allow their kids to be begging on our streets whiles the adults do street hawking

[@IamAfrikan]

Thanks for the insight.

Next time you cut fufu, dip it into the soup and just swallow, we don't chew fufu...😋🇬🇭

Thanks for the comment brother and support as always.

[@boakye-bb9oi]

Ghanaian children mostly are the ones who sell on our streets. I can also say that most of them go to school. On the other hand the children from other African countries rather operate as street beggars. You were not categorical enough on the difference between the two countries in terms of electricity supply. Another glaring difference you surprisingly omitted is in the area of security; the contrast is like heaven and hell. One area that Nigeria outshines Ghana is selling of food in public. As far as I know every food sold publicly in Nigeria is nicely covered and better handled. In terms of weather and vegetation, they're literally the same. All said, these two countries are third world countries and are both in the list of the world's poorest 30 countries. So no one should claim superiority over the other.

[@IamAfrikan]

Thank you for the comment. I mentioned few things that came to mind in terms of what I was used to in Nigeria. However, the video isn't mainly the difference between Nigeria and Ghana. However, you points are valuable and highly appreciated. You are right, I felt peace in Ghana and it's true that Nigeria is facing a lot of insecurity issues and Ghana is better in that regard. Hopefully our countries in Africa can lift a lot of the population out of poverty and improve the quality of living.

[@paintsildesmond8495]

Why did you not dip the fufu into the soup before swallowing? This is a serious crime. Dont swallow fufu raw without soup. Next time you eat fufu, make sure to dip it into the soup, and also make sure there is enough soup in your palm and on the fufu before you swallow it.

[@IamAfrikan]

ah ah. hey bro. please pardon my ignorance. Thanks for the comment. I love your technique. Next time I will make sure I use this technique.

[@danielspencer6174]

Both of Nigeria & Ghana speak English as national language. But different African languages in local area ?

[@IamAfrikan]

That’s correct. English is the major language of instruction in schools and widely spoken either as normal or broken English. But, Ghana and Nigeria do have their own languages and very diverse especially in Nigeria. Three major ones in Nigeria are Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa languages while in Ghana Twi is spoken by majority. In Ghana there are also other languages spoken by Ga, Ewe, Dagbani and perhaps other ones.

[@yakubuofori9718]

Your next visit should be in Christmas and you will be observed that Ghana is only Christian Country where the Muslims celebrate Christmas more than the christians 😁😁.You will see the Muslims in various churches dancing especially in the 31st Night .

[@IamAfrikan]

Thanks a lot. It’s same in Nigeria. Christmas is a big event and period of the year when everyone celebrate regardless of religion. Hopefully I can visit during Christmas next time.

Those kids in the traffic begging for money from Niger, Mali and northern Nigeria. The government trying to send them back where they came. Some of them already sent nack. Most of them are Fulani people. Used to give them money until 6 year old use mental to scratched my car and run away. Ever since then, I have stop giving them money

[@IamAfrikan]

Thank you for mentioning this. Much appreciated.

[@RaphaelSekyi]

Most of the street children are mostly children from neighbouring countries that are begging on the streets. Its a social problem faced by us.

[@IamAfrikan]

Thanks for the comment. Hope the governments can collaborate to solve these social issues for the benefits of all. Your comment is much appreciated.
