Ghanaians are Welcoming From Gold Coast era till now, Ghanaians have being welcoming. It was this welcoming nature that made us even accept the whites in Ghana which later lead them to colonise us. Even with that experience, we are still  welcoming. The slave trade era which saw Some Ghanaians treated unfairly which even lead to the death of some people couldn't even be a threat to this welcoming nature. We still hail these whites when we see them in our country. Not only do we welcome their physical presence but also almost all their ideas they bring to us. We have presented ourselves as sober with no knowledge that we are ready to listen, learn and embroiden our horizon.  For that matter, since Civilization did no start in Ghana but Egypt which most countries in the west were already civilised, we humble accepted formal education, Christianity, their style of marriage and so on when they posed it to us.

This enforces the saying that all are equal in the Ghanaian setting which Ghanaians loves very much. Also i...

Marriage in Africa has become one aspect that a side showing the beauty of culture, also helps foster unity among ethnic groups in Ghana. Marriage has been a tool to curbs ethnocentrism and it's in a way helping reduce ethnic stereotypes. The Ewes, the Northeners, the Ashanti's, the Fanti's, the GAs and the other ethnic groups have an existing stereotypes about marriage which always sprang up when people from two different ethnic groups wants to marry. A clear example is when an Akan especially an Ashanti want to tie knots with an Ewe. During the primitive times, an Ashanti man will never allow his daughter or son marry an Ewe. Glory be to God that by the help of science and education, researchers has proven that certain stereotypes among the Ewes does not exist.
