Basketmouth has sparked fresh reactions online after joking that Ghanaian barbers are better than their Nigerian counterparts. The comedian made the playful remark after getting a fresh haircut during a recent visit to Ghana. As expected, his comment quickly got fans from both countries talking. Many joined the debate, while others simply enjoyed the friendly banter between Nigeria and Ghana.
Sharing a photo of his new look on his Instagram Story, Basketmouth praised his Ghanaian barber with a hilarious comparison. He wrote,
“Our jollof rice may be better than theirs 🇳🇬🍽️… but Ghanaian barbers make our barbers look like bricklayers. 🇬🇭”
He also added,
“This barber got me looking like a babe.”
His lighthearted post instantly caught attention and spread across social media. Soon after, fans flooded different platforms with mixed reactions. Some agreed that Ghanaian barbers pay more attention to detail. Others insisted Nigerian barbers are just as skilled and deserve more credit. Meanwhile, many people saw the post as harmless fun rather than a serious comparison. The comments also revived the never-ending Nigeria versus Ghana rivalry, especially the popular debate about which country has the better Jollof rice.
Earlier, Nigerian food critic Opeyemi Famakin recently sparked another online conversation with his views about raising children in Nigeria. Famakin said he wants to remain in the country instead of relocating abroad. However, he worries about the environment his future children may grow up in. He also claimed that while Nigerians are hardworking and business-smart, Ghanaians show stronger critical thinking skills. His remarks have continued to generate heated reactions across social media.
