I have a funny - or interesting, take your pick - story for you . My classmate, who happens to be Kenyan,started going out with a Ghananian and it so happened that they were in a store whhereby the teller was also from Ghana. She boyfriend happened to know her so a short conversation started up. Shortly after, he introduced my friend to the teller. After casual hellos:-

teller: ...so...are you ghanian?
friend: (smile on her face) no, I'm from Kenya.
(silence, then the words)
teller: why did you have to take one of the good ones?! (attempts to laugh it off)

Ok, I've heard such talk between african americans and Caucasian americans (of which should be a thing of the past, I say) , but never among native africans! I shocked and somewhat amused at the bias among some africans. Are we, too, expected to stay within our country's ethnic groups as far as diversity goes? But that's also debatable, though it's not something you'd expect to hear at random. Fine...I'll take an opimistic view and say that that was her way of saying that the jamaa was of good character.Yeah, let's go with that.....(...heh..heh..heh..)
