Nigerian musician has responded to a song by Ghanaian hiplife duo Fokn Bois.
The duo, made up of artistes Mensah and Wanlov Kubolor, released a song dubbed “Thank God we’re not a Nigerians,” which has been criticized as xenophobic.
The Ghanaian duo ridiculed the Nigerian renditions of some words in the English language. Why do you say “mistor” instead of “mister?” and why “tarteen” instead of “thirteen”?
But it appears Fokn Bois has received a reply of equal measure from an anonymous Nigerian musician.
The caustic response titled “Thank God we’re not Ghanaians” starts off with “Can you imagine Ghanaians are busy in Nigeria, the sunshine of Africa.”
The musician criticizes Ghanaians as rather being “laid back” – and that most of the big banks in Ghana have Nigerian origins.
He says it appears “there is no God in Ghana” because President Mills still pays tithes to the head pastor of the Synagogue Church, Prophet T.B. Joshua plus Ghana sought the intervention of the Nigerian pastor for the country’s national team to win a world cup.
“Even your under-something football team relies on Prophet T.B. Joshua because there is no God in Ghana, charley, Ghana God I’m not a Ghanaian oooo,” the song said.
But in an interview on Multi TV’s Count Down show, Mensah described the exchanges as “a friendly, harmless banter.”
“I think Ghanaians and Nigerians always have a friendly banter. My wife is a Nigerian, and child is also a Nigerian. You know it’s like a friendly, harmless banter. It’s always been happening since we were kids,” he said.
