00:00In Nigeria, Ghanaian can't have like...
00:02If you're watching, ask me to a generous star.
00:05Yes, that's my country.
00:06Two countries.
00:08One rivalry.
00:09Our own is the best.
00:10We are topping world charts.
00:11Countless debates.
00:13Today, we are opening the rivalry box
00:16and letting Ghanians and Nigerians decide.
00:19What if I told you that these two countries
00:22are less like rivals and more like siblings?
00:28Nigerians, Nigeria, Nigeria, Nigeria, Nigeria, Nigeria.
00:31Talking about the Afrobeat's originations is from Ghana.
00:35Definitely, the Nigerian footballers are good.
00:37So, yeah, Nigerian.
00:38Black Stars, we are in the World Cup, totally.
00:40Nigerians, go and sleep.
00:43Nigeria still makes the best Jollofries.
00:45I've not chopped Nigerian Jollofries before,
00:47but what I've tasted in Ghana is the best.
00:50Behind the jokes and decades of friendly competitions
00:53lies a much older story.
00:56I mean, a story of migration.
00:59Shared ancestry, trade, politics and two nations
01:03whose histories have been intertwined
01:06long before there was Nigeria or Ghana.
01:10Most of the people that sell footwares,
01:13that sell buns, are Ghanians.
01:16It's like the main work they do here.
01:18In the aspect of food, they give us like first aid
01:21before we talk about food.
01:23So we can't do without them.
01:24You know what I mean?
01:25It's not just about food.
01:26The similarity go deeper.
01:29Across both countries,
01:30you will find traditional dancers,
01:33powerful drumming and colourful celebrations.
01:36These festivals are more than culture.
01:39Different traditions, shared values.
01:42But this relationship hasn't always been easy.
01:46In 1969, Ghana's alien compliance order
01:49required many foreign nationals,
01:51including Nigerians,
01:53without the required documentation
01:55to leave the country immediately.
01:57In 1983, Nigeria carried out its own explosion
02:01of undocumented migrants.
02:03Many of them were Ghanians.
02:06Nigeria and Ghana can coexist.
02:07They have been coexisting for years.
02:10All those ones, those Ghana must go thing,
02:12was military mentality
02:14and the lack of civilization that was then.
02:19Today, the rivalry looks very different.
02:21It is less about politics
02:23and more about culture,
02:25football, music, food
02:27and yes, even English language.
02:30So I am here in Lagos State, Nigeria
02:32to put that to test.
02:33Can you say nice?
02:35No.
02:36Now, say cuts.
02:38Can you say cuts?
02:41Tell the vet doctor not to cut the cuts.
02:44Tell the vet doctor not to cut the cuts.
02:47Two neighbors constantly challenging, inspiring
02:50and shaping each other.
02:52So tell me, who really wins?
02:54I will let you decide
02:56because I'll be your guy, something Adeliki,
02:58representing DW the 77%.
03:02See you guys next time.
03:04Cheers!
03:09You will see again.
03:09The weird expectations,
03:09You will see yourtsĂĄ and the best expectations.
03:09You know what I can tell them about.
03:09You can imagine.
03:09And you can imagine what I can tell you about.
