Akwaba (welcome) again, it's DJ Edu in Ghana, taking over Ace & Vis' blog with some more from the Africa Cup of Nations.

My flight from London this time left in good time and I even got some good leg room so can't complain. Arrived in Accra and our guide Alex was there to pick us up. On the way to the hotel he shared some news about t-shirts that were selling like hot cakes in the capital that said Ghana 2 Nigeria 0 on them, confidence was running high around here.

After hours on a plane I didn't feel like going to bed just yet so I took a quick shower and got ready to sample the night life in Accra. We went to a couple of spots in Accra where DJs threw down a mix of hip-life (popular local music), dancehall, r&b, hip hop and Nigerian music. The big song out here right now is See Me So by Nigerian artist 2face, a former guest on DNA and also a Mobo and MTV award winner. After soaking up the atmosphere we hit the road again, this time to a spot called Vanity, a night club downstairs and pool hall upstairs. Opted to shoot some pool and there was that song again "See Me So" by 2face - this song played everywhere. Called it a night at around 3am.

The next day was D-day - Ghana vs Nigeria. Think Arsenal vsTottenham, Manchester United vs Liverpool, England vs Germany. I'm talking a big history of rivalry. We made our way to the stadium in Accra three hours before kick-off. The whole city was football crazy - people in their national colours everywhere waving flags, blowing horns, whistles and a very annoying horn that sounded like a baby crying. They were not leaving anything to chance - the Ghanaians even had a witchdoctor on the pitch.

There were a couple of soundsystems outside the stadium and the party had begun early for some of the fans who were already clubbing away. For this match there was a dedicated fan zone close to the ground with two big screen and a massive sound rig so that fans outside the stadium could enjoy the game too.

We made it into the actual stadium about 2 hours before kick-off and boy there were enough people in the stadium already singing and dancing. There were a few Nigerians in the crowd but the vast majority of the fans were from the host nation. Just when you thought the noise couldn't get any louder the place erupted into hysteria as the likes of Muntari, Essien, Agogo, Kingston and the rest of the Ghanaian team came out to warm up. It was so loud they had to do a lap of honour just for the supporters.

Kick-off was approaching, the teams were out and we decided to sit with the Ghanaian fans just above the Nigerian fans. The noise overshadowed the P.A system when Ghana took to the field but after about 34 minutes with Ghana dominating it subsided after a Yakubu penalty which was celebrated by the Nigerian players with the dance that is usually done by the Ghanaian players when they score a goal (cheeky). I spoke to a couple of Ghanaian fans and every one had a different name for the dance some called it The Snake, some The Duck even The Kangaroo but one thing was sure, the dance was brought about by the Ghanaian team and is done to celebrate goals, one of which was soon to come through a quick free kick and a glancing header from Essien and suddenly the Black Stars were level just before the end of the first half. The crowd went into a frenzy and celebrated the goal right through half time.

The Ghanaian dance was to be seen again in the last few minutes of the match when Junior Agogo hit the back of the net. What a way to win a match! By this point the crowd was in ecstacy - people jumping up and down, throwing water from their water bottles creating a mild rain effect. I was soaked and so were the majority of the people in the stadium. It has to be the most amazing football game I have ever been to - it had everything. The crowds stayed on to celebrate and eventually the police had to force the remaining ones out. The carnival atmosphere outside the ground then kicked off. Booming sound systems, car stereos, horns, whistles, cars hooting, people just shouting and chanting, Ghanaian black stars everywhere - it must have felt like winning the final after beating their bitter rivals.

The next day's (today's) press had all the big Ghana headlines but one that caught my eye was
"Is God On Ghana's side or Is God a Ghanian?"

Make up your own mind...

Peace!
