Was in Ghana for the first time last weekend and I learnt that:
- there is a certain poetic justice in watching Nigerians lift "Ghana Must Go" bags from the conveyor belt at the International airport in Accra.
- good roads and electricity are not displays of oyinbo winch - launching space rockets are.
- you can have an organised airport in West Africa... where taxis queue close to the exit
- you can brand a country! Selling Kente, Woodin and writing "Akwaaba" on all the notice boards could be starting points... however investing a bit in tourism won't hurt any.
- you can walk around at night without looking over your shoulders for homicidal armed robbers who only want your mobile phone and then your life.
- wearing hotpants in broad daylight is not considered conspiracy against the government and will not get you arrested.
- it doesn't matter how dilapidated taxis are, just ensure their brakes and their stereos are working well. You get extra points for louder speakers.
- pedestrains have rights and traffic rules are not so silly afterall.
- sun tan lotion is something you should pack along with swimsuits irrespective of skin colour
- if you can't pronounce its name, don't eat it or drink it by the way.

nice lessons here - i am still lafing " --'- wearing hotpants in broad daylight is not considered conspiracy against the government and will not get you arrested.' who ever started all that agro against women in naija of all places should be behind bars!
Enjoy ur stay in Ghana dear but why u no carry me go na?:(
You just stated my Ghana experience in few lines o. They call that bag “Nigeria must go” in Ghana (lol).
God help Nigeria. May He teach us to help ourselves!
What did you bring for me?
FFF: you know Ghana is a country and Abuja is just a state that got lucky cos it's the FCT. If you compare Ghana with Nigeria as a whole, hmmm you will be able to tell the difference
And the light! It's so good there?
LOL

You can find all these things in Abuja! Well minus the kente cloth, and perhaps branding in general...
Lol@ not eating anything you cant pronounce! and I cracked up reading:
"good roads and electricity are not displays of oyinbo winch - launching space rockets are"
- if you can't pronounce its name, don't eat it or drink it by the way.
