I used to think Ghanaian women were fiery on a normal day but I seem to have been proven wrong. Well, not until I have sampled the general impression and that is why I am writing this.
So the comparison is between Ghanaian and Nigerian women. And it has come about because I listened to a strange dialogue between two women on TV. In a Nigerian movie, I wasn’t exactly watching but this part sure caught my attention.
One Nigerian woman is sitting alone crying her eyes out and screaming…her two friends (who are also Nigerian) approach her. She is still crying hysterically so her friends demand to know why she is crying. She says: “one woman is stealing my man from me” and continues balling her eyes put.
Her friend incredulously asks: “is that why you are crying? What nonsense! If I didn’t know you well, I would have said you are a Ghanaian woman!”
I was so shocked I just had my mouth hanging open. What is she trying to say? That only Ghanaian women cry over their men? Are we emotionally weak?
Kindly bear in mind that I am trying to have a friendly discussion here. No malice intended to Ghanaian or Nigerian women. It just seemed really amusing.
