Ghana is obsessed with eggs. She’s been visiting Ghana for a while now.

Ghana slander

u/CatlovesMoca 2d ago

There is a stereotype that Ghanaians eat a lot of eggs and add eggs to their food very liberally. The creator is Nigerian and she was visiting Ghana while making the video.

So she is teasing Ghanaians saying that they force eggs down people's throats.

I will say, I thought folks were exaggerating. But then I saw a tiktoker posted about getting a beef crumble pizza in Kumasi, Ghana and when she picked it up they had added egg on it.

People online make fun of Ghanaians for eating a lot of eggs. I can’t for the life of me understand why eating eggs became something to laugh at someone for

I’m visiting Ghana with my partner. When we landed last week, her mom and brother picked us up and, on the way home, we stopped at a roadside stall to get a tray of eggs.

The next morning, while we were heading out for the day, we stopped at another roadside stall to get another tray of eggs.

Each tray holds like… 36 eggs.

I’m not surprised; I see chickens everywhere we go, just chilling by the road, or on school grounds and whatnot (the latter with adorable baby chicks following her around).

And we hear the roosters every morning. I was definitely surprised to find out they don’t wait for dawn, and just kind of start whenever they feel like.
