@TheDoublestar_: “I overheard someone saying Ghanaians don’t understand good English. And I thought it was a joke but I’m here to comfirm because wtf. What Hilda said is true and I see no insult I’m what she said so why are they quoting with negative write up?”
@tobyasky: “Hope you know she’s done a lot of things before GWR? Hope you also know she runs a restaurant in Lagos? Do you know what that means? By the way, Nigerian jollof > Ghana Jollof. I can send you different versions of Ghana Jollof I’ve eaten. They’re really nice but Nigerian Jollof.”
@14_Jersey_: “Ah this girl no dey pect how u go compare Nigerian Jollof wey dey look Sand to Ghana Jollof ah ah.”
@BongoIdeas: “Tell Hilda Baci that she should focus on hiding her not-so pretty face under makeup. At least Ghana jollof has more flavour than her no-make up face if she reveals it. She should focus on shaking her hard ass and taking bisexual kisses cos right now, that’s her only record!”
@Ahlexmoralex: “Wait we go come. Back to una we still dey deal with South Africa. Shey that una rice we be like una pidgin English.. upside down?”
@NkechiKwenu: “LOL Ghanians stay pressed over us. I agree with Baci, tasting Ghana jollof is like eating white rice while someone screams “JOLLOF!!” in the next room.”
