2 white dudes with nothing but an interesting idea set out for Nigeria. After meeting with frustration and only a commissioner they decided to try out Ghana where they had a better reception up to VP level.

YET NIGERIANS MADE THE LOUDEST NOISE ABOUT IT ON THIS APP. I'M ANGRY!

I'm still upset and I can't let this matter go. I am sorry

Do you know the number of actual investments that started off in Nigeria and ended up in Ghana simply because Ghanaians are nicer and friendlier people with a better business environment? Let me give you one - Movenpick Hotel Accra

That thing started as a Nigerian investment. After being frustrated with Nigerian officials asking for bribes, they decided to try Ghana. In the end, the people behind it joked that they killed 2 birds with one stone since Nigerians are their biggest customers in Ghana anyway

If you think this is about skin colour, please look for the darkest skinned person you can find - maybe try Alek Wek - send them to Nigeria and Ghana to meet government officials and ask them to report their findings

It is the same Nigerians who will come on this app to cry woe is me woe is me when reports show Ghana has overtaken Nigeria in FDI businessday.ng/business-econo…

Last December when Instagram was awash with photos of Americans in Ghana for Year of Return, the same Nigerians were lamenting 'why can't this happen in Nigeria?'

The Ghanaian VP probably meets important foreigners every week. Yet he somehow found a few minutes to listen to an interesting idea from a couple of randos. As we all know, Nigerian officials work so hard they can't have time for stuff like that

Yet Theophilus, 26, from Iju-Ishaga in Lagos, who follows 8 American Liberal accounts and shares a $3/month NYT sub with 5 other people concluded that the Ghanaian VP wee wee'd on himself in excitement because he was going to meet 2 white kids

As for Ghanaians, my sincere advice to you is to not allow Nigerians railroad you into nonsense. Your VP did good. That he met them does not mean he cannot meet you. Otherwise you'll soon end up eating expensive local rice and washing it down with hot bottles of patriotism

There is a time and place to talk about preferential foreign access (a fact of life). This was not it and I honestly cannot believe what the 'discourse' descended into on this godless wretched app

As for the Afreekah People who are so desperate to show that they love Afreekah more than they love their Mum and quickly brought out the 'colonial' argument, please go on Amazon and search for 'sense of proportion' and order as many as you can.

Arrant nonsense.

Rant over. For now. If I get angry again, I will reopen the topic.
