This past weekend i went to go and watch the โ€œGhana versus Nigeriaโ€ world cup qualifiers game in Kumasi! The game was a wonderful experience. Even though neither team scored, it was still fun. My heart went out for both teams. I am Nigerian-American, so I support Nigeria by default, and since Iโ€™m in Ghana, I decided to rep the Ghana jersey on Friday. But I will be wearing my Nigeria jersey on Tuesday.
