    Summary

    This comparison highlights key differences and similarities among Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, and Kenya across job opportunities, cost of living, hospitality, education, and internet speed. Kenya offers the most favorable cost of living and is highly regarded for its hospitality. South Africa also stands out for its hospitality and possesses the strongest internet infrastructure, but it faces severe challenges in job opportunities and a highly unequal education system. Ghana presents a relatively favorable cost of living and strong hospitality, though its job market and education quality require further development. Nigeria has a growing economy, yet struggles with high unemployment, a less favorable cost of living, and a foundational education system in crisis. All four countries demonstrate ongoing efforts in economic development and digital infrastructure, but face persistent disparities in education quality and job market access.
