“The relationship between Ghana and Nigeria started even before the independence and today we have become one family, culturally, the two countries have become so close, economically, Nigerians prefer coming here to do business other than any country, so are Ghanaians, as we have a lot of our Ghanaian brother and sisters in Nigeria and they are doing well.
