Over the past week I was fortunate enough to make a trip to Ghana for business purposes. The contrast between Ghana and Nigeria is almost unbelievable. My first impressions of Accra were very good.
After a rather gruelling experience in leaving Lagos arrival in Ghana was like the exact opposite. From the time the plane landed to arriving at my hotel took less than 30 minutes. Customs was a breeze and my bags arrived almost immediately on the carousel which was a total pleasure.
Driving through the streets the first thing that struck me was how clean the city is in comparison with Lagos. The other thing that I really noticed was that the drivers seem to obey the rules of the road and that there were no okadas (motorbike taxis). The difference between the two cities is almost overwhelming.
