I mean… I love how Maraji is living. All that pressure of measuring up as an influencer in Nigeria- she’s past it. Babe dey live her full life and doing no explaining ❤️❤️
Being Ghanaian and seeing home from another person's eyes, it hits different. One day I hope to see Nigeria too, for all that Nigeria means for Africa, we are only optimistic of safer times for all Nigerians ahead, you people deserve it for real..y'all work so hard for it.
A ghanian in Nigeria can never do the same bcos of hatred, whenever I go home and my people will like to introduce ghanians to me but they'll be hiding bcos they know what we're passing through over here. They can never give us employment but we'll come with our money open a business and they'll wickedly lock it up until everything is destroyed but they're in our market relaxing
@@evelynejeka7182 scarcity mentality seems to be an African Affliction.... Meanwhile when we go to Europe and other continents once we meet their criteria we get employed, Africans we like to talk about Unity on the Continent alot but see how we treat each other ....
I have a Nigerian father and a Ghanaian mother and I have a full experience of both cultures! Now I live in Accra Ghana! And Maraji I agree with you! 100 percent
I really enjoyed watching this especially since I can relate. I'm a Ghanaian schooling in Nigeria. Your stuff's legit😂 I was just nodding in agreement throughout. Really enjoyed the history lesson too. Your Kenyan accent was too good and the way you pronounced the word "Twi"...on point😂
I totally agree with you as a Nigerian living in Ghana, I can surely tell that you sure took your time for this content, it was quite articulate, loved it. Especially from the intro about Ghana and Nigerian leaders. Great stuff.
It's like that in Nigeria actually, and it is happening. It's not just assumptions. Many people are desperate to get money from you in an unpleasant ways, and you will be careful to not just give it out like that. You have to examine the person very well before you can help them.
had the chance to visit Nigeria and i enjoyed myself out there. The Nigerians treated us nice during our stay. I would definitely love to go there again. but yea their traffic and power outages were worse than ours , that I can agree. I hope that both our countries can improve to where we are all comfortable and don't have to leave our shores to find that comfort and convenience.
You are right though,but it's mostly power outages about some parts of Lagos, and in some other states. The problem is most people really just compare Lagos. Even traffic is free in many places including my state.
That part of the video is sorely MISLEADING. Those quotes are from conservative Northern Nigerian politicians, most of whom even OPPOSED independence for Nigeria itself in 1954 and 1957. There were many progressive PAN-AFRICAN Nigerian leaders of that era (including Obafemi Awolowo and Nnamdi “Zik of Africa” Azikiwe). Also, several prominent Nigerians (including the notable politician SG Ikoku) attended Achimota College.
@@therealist2866 Exactly, I wish she specified the regions. The people who were kicked out of Ghana were mostly Western Nigerian Yorubas and the people who kicked Ghanaians out of Nigeria were the northern Fula and the people who do the music are mostly Western Nigerian Yoruba and Edo/Delta and the people who are prideful in Kenya are likely more Igbos
I am Nigerian but I have to give it to Ghana. Una dey try. But I looooooove Nigeria because we are and will always be the most resourceful. Sadly, our government doesn't make it easy for us
Can’t agree more to this video and must thank you for the history between the two countries! (Was Educational ) I recently visited Nigeria (spent a month there and loved it) and have visited Ghana twice. I must say, (So True) for security and fast paste in Nigeria. Also couldn’t help but since the proud of the people - got me wondering! I loved every bit of my stayed sha.... especially being in the right environment and with the right people. Very creative minded and are strong hustlers. (Was so inspired by their hustling spirit) 😊If you’re are kind and open towards their culture and traditions, you get to see and experience their beautiful warm hearts. Currently dating a guy from there, and he was my armor throughout, including other family members I have there.! But mostly love Ghana for it’s peace and calmness. Ghana is such a beautiful country!! It’s funny to me how both countries go head to head... when in most African eyes, they have similar traits! I love my Africa!! And So proud of those two countries!! From a Liberian Sister ❤️
I'm surprised you pulled this off. You did a great job. I definitely wanna visit Ghana again. Spent a week there in 2018 and I didn't get the chance to really move around.
I loveddd this video! At first I wanted to disagree with tourism until you said “do I really wanna die because of fine pictures”, then I had to concede 😂😂😂😂.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Firstly thanks for the history lesson. Had no idea about most of it. It does give context to the GH-NG beef beyond jollof rice. I'm Nigerian, been to Ghana and had an amaaaazing time, have Ghanaian friends too ...and you're on point on your comparisons!. About speaking Twi, that's also my experience..most Ghanaians speak twi a lot (which I really love btw, i wish I could learn it). I enjoy how they mix it with English also. I live in Canada and when I'm in my friend's house and she has some Ghanaians around they just start speaking twi to me. Lastly, your voice! I could listen to you all day. Cheers, your fan and namesake. 😉
I am Nigerians andI have lived in both countries and I can say for a fact you are 1000000% accurate. The accuracy is so much like I did the video myself. I am impressed because it's really hard for you to have Nigerians that would say the truth unfiltered like you did. Loved the video. Made my day
Why do Nigerians believe this lie that they were doing well and that was the reason the Busia government expelled them from Ghana? Presently you hear some Nigerians say they are dominating the Ghanaian market hence the animosity between them and the Ghanaian traders. It seems self- aggrandizement or self-praise is a well-woven strand in the DNA of some Nigerians. Sometimes a little modesty makes you an endearing guest.
@@Stratocaster01 You do your research and ask our fathers who were there and you will come to know the truth. Some or most Nigerians are quick to blame their unfathomable success as reason for the aversion they sometimes experience . If you are always blaming other countries in which you reside but find coexistence among yourselves so difficult in your own country then a little bit of self introspection may suffice. Ghanaian were in Nigeria in the 80's doing all sort of jobs from doctors, teachers, nurses, shoe shiners and cobblers but when they were expelled, we never heard them blame the country Nigeria or their success or wealth during their sojourn as the reason. Can this be said of Nigerians?
Actually, I only ever heard these claims from Ghanaians when they are expressing their displeasure with Nigerians. My Ghanaian friend had to translate for us in a "bus" because we could not understand their animosity towards us! They even refused to give us our change and 85% of the people on that bus were in support! We do not just assume, we experience these things!
@@DayoA1 So sorry for your experience. No one should experience such a thing in a foreign land.There's no justification for that disgraceful behaviour.
@@RoyaIboy what could you possibly mean? I am not pretending anything. The person on my profile picture is ME. I'm an American from Florida. I married a burkina guy and have built a West African friend and family base because of it. I always wondered why Nigerians and Ghanaians argue sometimes and the video was insightful. Go search for a troll in someone else because this ain't it baby.
I saw what you did especially with the beginning, your Inter Rel knowledge came to surface😘. Haven't been to Ghana but with this I already have an idea. Your doing well🤝
Yes! You definitely put so much work into this video. It shows. Thank you! I enjoyed every bit of it and I learnt a lot as well. Would love to visit Ghana next year by God's grace.
😂Zimbabwean over here 🇿🇼 and Nigerian culture stole my heart officially in 2020. I admire the way y’all market yourselves, got us interested in all things Nigerian
I literally feel the same way 🙌🏾 I am always so eager to learn more about their country and cultures. 😭😩 Plus, they make Africa so proud in so many ways man 🙌🏾 I am a proud Beninese 🇧🇯 but Nigeria feels like my second country at heart.
Being a Ghanaian and having visited Nigeria afew times I agree with alot of your observations. 2 things I like about Nigeria and its people are, it a beautiful country, I mean the landscape and the hard working nature of the people. 2 times that put me off is the lack of courtesy of most Nigerians and the sense of entitlement, otherwise Nija people are really cool. And actually most of my associates are Nigerians. One love !
I wish i could send a voice note here! THANK YOU MARAJI FOR SHARING THIS INFORMATION ℹ️, everything you said is TRUTH! And well detailed we love to see more.☺️❤️ keep up with the GOOD, GOD BLESS YOU🤍🙏🏾
I’m Ghanaian and I love Nigerians. Honest analysis Maraji. I want to experience the Lagos traffic. It’s should be a tourist attraction. The Lagos traffic.
Watch this vlog and I subscribed straight away not because your analysis is perfect - nothing is - but because its really really objective. Difficult to see such objectivity even in Journalism not to talk off in the free for all world of RU-vid. Thanks and keep the good work
Oooh thank you ... instant subbie. No one truly understands how valuable info like this is to want to b visitors who romanticize Africa. The home of our Forefathers.. trust me you did an excellent job... info not lacking at all woud love to see more like this
Had Tafawa Balewa and others dropped their petty jealousy and insecurity and followed the lead of the visionary Nkrumah to unify Africa, the story of our dear continent would be much different today. Sad!
I hate to break it to you but Unifying the continent might as well be rocket science. The only way I see it happening is through a pseudo union of states like the AU. Anything beyond this is a recipe for disaster.
The British really has Nigeria by the neck man I hate it. My first trip to Nigeria really broke my heart. The natural beauty of Nigeria is so under appreciated by our people. We’ve been brainwashed into believing the western life-style is the best way of life.
Perfectly, perfectly, perfectly said. I was in Ghana two weeks ago and stayed at the West Trassaco Area and menhhhh, I loved Ghana. It was cool, so secured and such a lovely place.
Just visit different parts of Nigeria too when you can. I think you would love Portharcourt, Calabar, Asaba, Jos, and many other locations. There are many quiet towns and states, lots of varieties of weather and environment.
In Ghana we agree to study twi in Schools in Ghana so is subject studied so even though we have different languages but almost every body understands twi cos we learn it in basic schools
That's a lie Twi is widely spoken in ﹰGhana but it's not because twi is thought in basic schools I schooled in ﹰAccra and my school only allowed the teaching and learning of ﹰGa You won't go to a region like the volta region or northern region and expect twi to be taught there Twi is just easy to understand that's why it's widely spoken
This has to be one of my RU-vid top 5 videos! After watching this, I feel like I’ve been to Ghana lol. Very detailed and interesting. Maraji please make a part two! The food comparison would be cool too.
Love that you share the history and background of the Ghanaian and Nigerian relationship so that we understand the context of their current relations. Have been to Ghana and hope to one day visit Nigeria. Two West African powerhouses.
