Ghana and NigeriaThe banter is loud, the debates are endless, and the stakes often feel personal. Yet beneath the jokes, social media arguments, and football rivalries lies something far more meaningful: a relationship between Ghana and Nigeria built on kinship rather than division.At its heart, the Ghana-Nigeria rivalry is healthy, vibrant, and deeply cultural. It thrives in music, sports, food, fashion, business, and the shared identity of being West African. Ghanaians proudly defend their jollof rice as the best on the continent, while Nigerians counter with the global influence of Afrobeats, Nollywood, and an impressive football legacy. The competition is…

Too often, the answer is no.Ghana has experienced price disinflation in the last 12 months. Much of the public discourse has attributed it to the appreciation of the cedi, but the role of lower food prices in driving this disinflation…
