    Summary

    When comparing Nigeria and Ghana across several key criteria, Ghana generally presents a more favorable profile. Ghana offers a lower cost of living and is significantly more peaceful and safer, consistently ranking much higher on global peace indices due to less internal conflict and lower crime rates. Its climate is a tropical one, generally considered mild for its latitude, providing a more consistently comfortable environment. In contrast, Nigeria faces substantial challenges, including a higher cost of living, widespread internal conflicts, high crime rates, and a struggling education system marked by underfunding and low literacy.
