The entertainment industry in Nigeria is renowned for its success and dominance in Africa, often seen as a competitor to other countries in the region, including Ghana.

However, Ghanaian comedian OB Amponsah has a different perspective on this comparison.

In an interview on Joy Prime’s Changes show, Amponsah expressed his belief that Nigeria should not be considered a competitor for Ghanaian comedians.
