In the past few years, there seems to be an unspoken competition, which can be liken to a cold war, between Nigerian musicians and their Ghanaian counterparts.

The narrative among Ghanaians is that, while their musicians find it difficult to penetrate the Nigerian market, Nigerian music keeps flourishing in Ghana.

And the blame has chiefly been attributed to Ghanaian DJs, radio and televisions networks who keep playing Nigerian songs on their respective platforms.

A Ghanaian blogger by name Kobby Kyei, recently tweeted that: “There’s a whole network of people connected to Ghanaian DJs to plug in their songs just so it gets massive air play here in Ghana. Yet our local artistes are sleeping on this opportunity to do same. Make that move!”

Responding to his tweet, Sarkodie revealed that perhaps that could be a major reason why Nigerians are able to infiltrate the Ghanaian market and not the other way round.

Sarkodie said (in Twi): “For Nigerians, you can’t use your affluence to dominate in their country, they’ll take the money but their agenda remains the same (Naija).”

Drawing a contrast between Ghanaians and Nigerians, he added that: “No matter how rich you are, you can’t dominate, but they know many nations can’t do that that’s why they are here [Ghana]. When they see money, they worship them. It’s all pride”
