Ghanaians again, the self-proclaimed politest people of Africa, are internet famous for insulting others countries. Especially Nigeria and Nigerians. The trolling about the electricity in Nigeria is coming back to hit them hard.

The constant claims that Nigerians are scammers, while ignoring the thousands of scamming Ghanaians. So bad so that Ghanaians were arrested several times in the United States for romance scams, as well as lawyer father and son for immigration scams. Even China has found a Ghanaian official scamming for immigration in China.

Ghanaians even pleaded for 2 romance scammers in the US, claiming because life in Ghana is so difficult they should be let free. While both of the Ghanaians lived no where near the borders of Ghana. One living in the UK and the other living in America.

Ghanaians are using photos of private citizens homes to proclaim the development of Ghana is beautiful. Why should some (mostly foreigners) homes be used to proclaim development of Ghana?

While there are 5000 schools under trees, a Ghanaian attacked someone claiming, "At least they're getting fresh air!" Wait, what? Ghana where the air-quality of Accra is the 10th worst on the African continent?

Why are they lying? Who is pushing this lie that Ghana is the place to live? Perhaps the Ghana government is paying social media influencers, the way the vice president of Ghana is paying for fake social media accounts to push his efforts to win the presidency.

The fact that Ghanaians will launch into their xenophobic hatred for mentioning the fact that Ghana is around 60% underdeveloped and 73% of Ghana roads aren't paved is the most insulting part of their nonsense.

Human development in Ghana matters as well as the infrastructure, you can't expect people who have some of the worst chances to get a half decent education to be better behaved humans.

Foreigners in a Ghana expat group, were banned for likening Ghanaians to animals, the worst part is that several people loved their comment. There is no way that people that moved to Ghana should be noting that "complete sentences" or "deep meaningful connections" are what they miss most about leaving their own countries.

Ghanaians from abroad that have moved back to Ghana are also noting the same things.

I had the pleasure of meeting a woman in her late 70's, she had moved back to Ghana after the death of her "European" husband. For some reason she didn't want to disclose where in Europe he was from, however we weren't alone.

With us in her kitchen were 3 other Ghanaians, they were very upset about her truth about Ghana. She said nothing that was a lie, however this is how much Ghanaians worship their country even when truth is at the heart of a persons words.

She tapped her foot, she wanted to show me that there was a drain on her kitchen floor, she said, who in the Hell does this? Who would build a kitchen and place a drain there?

She also noted the failure of Ghana to develop more while she hadn't lived in the country, she went in on the mentality of Ghanaians. The 3 in the room thought she was insulting them to a "white woman" because that was my life in Ghana. She knew full well that I was a Black American, however she knew better.

As does every white, Asian or Arab foreigner living in Ghana. I would like to mention that unlike Ghanaians I refused to pay for food that wasn't cooked properly.

This couple are the ones pushing the biggest lies ever told about Ghana, they proclaim no racial issues, no police brutality and get paid off of their lies on social media. Ghanaians and other Africans seem to love their narrative of Ghana being so welcoming, even though there are little to no videos of them actually being outside in Ghana.

I talked to and meant so many restaurant owners, who would often give me free meals, share their issues with being "forever foreigners" in discriminating Ghana. As well as the biggest issue that has got to be talked about Ghana has the worst customer service.

Everyday, Ghanaians are claiming to be welcoming and hospitable, how can they when there are several articles about how bad the customer service is in Ghana? You can't be good at welcoming when you aren't providing good customer service.

This screenshot below is one of the favorite, edited photos of buildings in Ghana. I lived around 10 minutes via car from these buildings, they don't look like this, as a matter of fact every edited photo shows these buildings, owned and filled with foreigners to Ghana.

I've written enough to show how much my skin color was the talk of every experience in Ghana. I wasn't even given these stares when I was living in Kenya, or traveling in Canada, or South Korea. Ghanaians act as if I was an alien with 15 heads.

Constant insults, constant photos shot of me, the insulting screamed from TroTros, or passing vehicles.

Here is a quick video of these buildings actually look like, they're nothing to write home about, they'd look better if they had used a better color for them.

Over the last few months Ghanaians have been protesting the road conditions, the roads that are death traps. Ghana's lands minister who has literally washed his hands from taking responsibility for the conditions, when he isn't given the funding to pave the roads.

Ghanaians are wonderful at ignoring their own news and their own leaders. The man has said more than enough and the fact Akufo-Addo has been runing Ghana into the ground and mismanaging the money for 8-years is insanity.

In this article you can see the conditions of the roads in Ghana, which are also causing poor drainage and terrible hygiene conditions in the country.

Ghana's Akufo-Addo, also tried to use the word "pandemic" to claim that there is a viral illness called 'road accidents' not one Ghanaian thought this was a moronic statement. How can his country, with poor roads be in a pandemic of road accidents, claiming as if this was a worldwide issue.

When any Ghanaian stands up against the things that the Ghana government claims, they're bullied. Some have died by the hands of unknown assailants, for 'robbery' or other reasons.

Education in Ghana needs much more of an improvement, not having furniture, books or textbooks in the schools is another issue. But once again this isn't something that Ghanaians want to mention.

The president of Ghana is pushing hard for investments and tourism, a post claiming Ghana is wealthy, why then are they looking for others outside of Ghana to build it up?

This was one of the reasons that was left out of the 20 reasons not to invest in Ghana.
