      Everyone knows Nigeria is cheaper than Ghana. What most Ghanaians say about ur currency is that it has no value or any purchasing power in Ghana which is true, however the cedi has value in Nigeria. That’s all.

      @@francisb4138 Yes we, Nigerians, are very divided but it's only in politics. In politics, there must be divisions. Even in the oldest democracy of the world, which is the USA, they are very divided politically. You have counties dwellers and the blue collar employees, who hates the Democrats, and you have the city dwellers and the white collar employees who hate the republicans. In politics, there must be hatred and divisions.
      But we are not talking about politics here, we are talking discrimination. And I boldly say to you that there is no discrimination in Nigeria. We do not discriminate against ourselves or against foreigners. Every Nigerian has right to be wherever he wants, and has right to aspire to whatever he wants to become, so with every foreigner in our land. We will never attack you, hate you, or conspire against you. But that's not the case from our other African nations.

    Hi EfyaKimora, thanks for sharing with us your experience while visiting some parts of Nigeria. I followed your contents with keen interest just to get a young Ghanaian's perspective on visiting Nigeria. Concerning your comment about Nigerians calling some food "Swallow", you have to understand that in Nigeria we have different kinds of food that we don't chew when eating them. We simply swallow them as the name suggests. These foods includes Eba{made from Garri or fried cassava flakes} Fufu, made from either pounded yam or yam mixed with cocoa yam or misxed with green unripped plantain, Amala, made from dried yam peels, Tuwo, made from either corn or millet or even soghom. All of these are meant to be swallowed with what we call soup or source of different kinds. So, all the food that is meant to be swallowed and not chewed is called SWALLOW at the restaurant or chop bar. It is now left for you to mention which particular swallow you want depending on what the restaurant has on offer. I hope this helps to clarify things to you. Take care and continue your journey towards discovering Africa.

    Ghanaians love to profile non Ghanaians especially Nigerians from their usual moral high horse. Meanwhile Naija simply don't care. As an individual from both countries 🇬🇭🇳🇬 that was the major cultural shock I had to deal with from a tender age. It's like Ghanaians are black people with European tendencies and it's mind-blowing. In Naija so long as you're not white you're never a foreigner. I find that term very alienating especially when used against a fellow African or fellow West African for that matter.

    Lagos is a Yoruba state, thats why they speak Yoruba. If you go to the Northern, Southern or Eastern states you will hear them speak their local dialects.
    2. Swallow is the slang, you will not go into a very local restaurant (called Buka) and ask for swallow, they expect you to mention the exact name of the swallow
