So what?!! Are you kidding?! Lol, no way is this a war or propaganda, this is an misinformation or plagiarism in my opinion. Ghanaians have come up with some many great things, and we do so much good, and have a lot to offer in this world. But we don't get that recognition as the Nigerians do! Most people (mainly here in America) keep getting the the beautiful flag of Ghana mixed up with the rasta and ethiopian flags and theme! To long people have been, and looked clueless at the word "Ghanaian" and always ask "wheres Ghana?!" and so forth. But Nigeria, Nigeria is very well known by almost all. Yet when one of OUR innovative, and cultural dance Azonto is shown to the world, and especially to an American R&B artist like Chris Brown, and it is turned around and credited to the Nigerians, and their culture. It is a grave misinformation and insult. Ss now people will equate something that belongs to someone else's invention and style. Now dummies in America, will going around arguing and misrepresenting Azonto as something Nigerian. Continuing the the misinformation. ignorance of the various cultures in Africa. I'm trying to say anything bad about our fellow Africans, the Nigerians. But it is Ghana's time to shine too! We can't allow people to take our stuff and assign it to someone else, or get our culture, country, and identity mixed up for some else. We are Ghanaians, and our beloved country is Ghana! We must let the whole know exactly who we are, and the we will no longer sit on the sidelines or in the shadows anymore. We in a league of our own. GH swagg chaley.

I have seen the video interview at www.ghanafilla.net/archives/48278#.UV0sohlAte5.(Forward to the 6th minute) He actually credited the dance to Wizkid, so Nigerians on here should understand why Ghanaians would take offense. This issue can be argued from 2 angles. (1) Wizkid may have plagiarized the dance by presenting it to Chris Brown like it was his own. Or (2) Wizkid who obviously loves Azonto, did not see the need to tell CB that the dance was actually a GH product since we are all Africans. My 2 cents!

In 1969, Ghana enacted the Aliens Compliance Order, in which hundreds of thousands of immigrants, {{mostly Nigerians}}, were expelled from the country. That was the beginning of "black on black discrimination in Africa" a situation that has never ever happen in Africa, where people inter mingle and married for thousands of years before the evil Ghanaian Busia ACO order, (where Ghanaians sees their fellow Africans as Aliens in mama Africa), and the rest is history.
My question is this, if the ACO was for economic purpose, how come the other foreigners like Lebanese, (they control most of Ghanaian economy till date anyway), and Indians, Arabs, Obronis etc; were left untouched by Busia ACO. That is a food for thought Mr. Truth.

Kwesi ,i just asked Nemesis a simple question what were Nigerians doing in Ghana that time and i thought he was going to be honest and say they were looking for greener pastures but he deviated .The picture is so simple ,Nigerians were in Ghana in their numbers those days when Ghanaians only travel to Europe ,they felt at home to the extend of many of them owning properties ,the economy got shaken and Ghana expelled the illegal immigrants ,God blessed Nigeria with oil later on and this time around Ghanaiana also flooded Nigeria and they also did what Ghana did ,my question is why do Nigerians behave and talk as if they haven't been looked after ,cared for,helped ,rescued ,saved by the country Ghana and her citizens before . I know Nigerians in Ghana in the sixties and I was in Nigeria in the oil boom era, i know what i'm saying i saw it all so i find it disturbing when we are at each others throat instead of building a stronger relationship ,we were colonized by one master we were left with one legacy the English language ,history tells us that the Gas of Ghana came from Ile-ife in Nigeria so no doubt we have many things in common ...pls let's respect ourselves and stop this insults , am tired wanna go to bed ,good nite folks.

Nigerians must learn the facts on AZONTO and appreciate them. If you learn the dance from Ghana and teach someone else, it does not mean the dance belongs to you or you are the one who created it. Between you who learnt it and the one from whom you learnt it, who makes claim of the dance?
This is simple logic.

The only truth about your statement is that you're the most populous country in Africa that no one no doubt. Just Google high life music and see who carries who. Ghana has always been self dependent even before colonization. Ghana and Ethiopia are the only nation that fought and defeated the Europeans in a war before eventual captivity because of technological advancement in fire power with the later putting full resistant with the aid of the mountainous land

200million poverty Nigerians and 20 million rich Ghanaians in terms of human capabilities & humain.
The Netherlands is a small country without oil. But they are richer than Nigeria with all types of minerals to boost. No one in The Netherlands suffers hunger, housing or shelter, jobs or poverty as known in Nigerian among the poorest and very dirty nation. The oil is just on your land or sea but the owners are the Multinationals consuming large percentages. Look at the rate of Nigerian children practicing prostitution in Italy is unimaginable. It that what you meant by human capabilities? What a shame. Every European country is aware of Nigerian human capabilities as destroyers’ of society. They search for them diabolical crimes and capture them into prisons or send them back to Oil rich but poverty Nigeria. No one respect Nigerians in their true sense.
Why do you guys hide under Ghanaian passport but yet the European immigration still catches you as fake.
Azonto is wonderful only for Ghanaians but shares with the International world including some good Nigerian. That is why you are going crazy. You can create alibaba, alintula, alingoass, alatta dance but you will never be recognized. Azonto is a blessing from God to Ghanaians because we are human.

I was told the Azonto dance originated from Spain but was made popular in Ghana.
If indeed it originated from Ghana then we should do everything possible to popularize it, and firmly defend it to the core. Its one thing that has rarely caught up well with all Ghanaians.
we have been watching Nigerian artist all this while but the dance was not seen anywhere until recently when the spirit of the dance has almost died down that Nigerians have also developed the interest and are making moves similar to that of the original version from Ghana.
Chris Brown who hitherto was my idol until he beat up his girlfriend another songstress Rihana and the recent marijuana or weed commonly known in Ghana.
Out of shame he is trying to discredit Ghana for the dance that the world knows originated from Ghana.

But i will urge the media and all artist involved to do well to maintain and hold on to it and own it forever.

Nobody should worry about whatever that devil worshipper chris brown says. he will support and give credit to fellow devil worshippers. look at how tonto also came out to support P square. it is because they all worship the devil. find a picture of tonto and look at the tatoo on her back. it shows the devil with horns. they have all sold their souls to become rich and famous ie rihana, beyonce etc. they come to africa to recruit for the devil. some of our own artists are joining them and so we should be careful.a critical look at their music videos show them doing signs with their hands indicating the all seeing eye,the pyramid, the horns of the devil etc. let us be selected in what music we listen to and songs we sing as some of the lyrics have messages in them which you will sing along without realising what you are saying but indirectly praising the devil.Jesus is the only true Son of God.He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings and only Him should be praised and worshipped.

THE BBC GOES ON TO SAY:"OVER THE PAST YEAR (2011) A NEW DANCE CRAZE HAS POPPED ONTO THE GHANAIAN MUSIC SCENE AND HAS BEEN MAKING WAVES ACROSS WEST AFRICA AND BEYOND. AZONTO FEVER HAS GRIPPED DIASPORA COMMUNITIES IN THE USA AND IN THE UK WITH SOME LONDON BASED ARTISTS EVEN FLYING TO GHANA TO LEARN THE MOVES." THOSE GUYS WHO INVITED CHRIS BROWN TO GHANA SHOULD CALL HIM AND CORRECT THIS MISTAKE. THEY SHOULD INFORM HIM THAT AZONTO IS FROM GHANA. THEY SHOULD TELL HIM TO LOOK FOR AZONTO ON THE INTERNET AND HE WILL SEE THAT AZONTO ORIGINATED FROM GHANA AND NOT NIGERIA. FOR MANY AFRICAN-AMERICANS ANY AFRICAN THEY SEE MAY BE FROM NIGERIA OR SOUTH AFRICA. NIGERIA IS A BIG COUNTRY. NIGERIA IS THE BIGGEST BLACK COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. FOR EVERY FIVE BLACK PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, ONE IS A NIGERIAN. AZONTO IS FROM GHANA,AND THE GOVERNMENT, UNDER THE MINISTRIES OF CULTURE AND TOURISM MUST PROMOTE IT.

It is about time that, "we" promote and infuse our culture(dance.etc) to improve our economical status. I don't know what Ghana Tourism Board or whatever Ghanaian agency is doing to promote this dance which has reach international stage. Chris Brown used some steps of Azonto in his new video. Perhaps Chris Brown could have include some professional Azonto dancers, or even hire a professional Azonto cherographer to teach his group how to dance the Azonto. Brother and sisters in order for us to label and "claim" the "Azonto" a Ghana "thing", let us "internationally" promote it as a Ghana "thing", There is a lot of money that "we" can generate through this dance craze. Ghanaians Wake Up.

the truth is dat most of d ppl frm west and central Africa are often refered to as being a Nigerian, if azonto is popular d credits has Ghanaians who inveted it and Nigerians who promotes it.
Ghanaians shld stop all these their selfish and greedy attitude.
secondly ghanaweb editors enjoys seeing ghanaian stupidity dat is y dey always bringing issues concerning Nigeria bcos they know dat weneva Nigeria is mentioned it always provoke s ghanain htred.
u said Nigeria is poor but we remain d 2nd largest economy in Africa, individually nigerians feeding well. u claimed dat nigerians r trooping to ghana but if u rationalise it, u will find out dat r actually more ghanains in nigeria than nigerians in ghana.
dat is y i like nigerian forums, if such topic shld raise in nigeria d kind of comments u see will not encourage u to bring dis kind of issue again.
u will see comments like( passing,hmmm,noted,passerby,next.... etc) but in ghana? its always different

Azonto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Azonto is a dance and a music genre originating from Ghana.
The dance involves a frenzied set of hand movements that either mimic everyday activities or are meant to signal an often comical intention. It begun with one or two step movements but has been advanced to more complex and almost acrobatic movements. Just like most African dances, knee bending and hip movements are rudiments to dancing it. The dance has effectively evolved from a few rudimentary moves to embrace depictions of ironing,washing, driving, boxing, grooming, praying, swimming, and others.
Generally, the dance reflects the creativity and sense of humour of the Ghanaian people. The dance, which is usually performed with an accompanying smile, evolved from the combination of several local dance moves that originated from Ghana during the early 2000s. The dance has evolved with the fast pace dance culture of modern West Africa.

[edit]History
This section requires expansion. (January 2013)
The term "Azonto" which originally was a rude reference to wayward girls, has been adopted as the handle for a Ghanaian fast-beat dance music genre and the accompanying dance that goes with it.
It originates from the word Azontoa (pronounced in some dialects as Abontoa) which means an ugly street girl. Originally used in the early 1990's in songs that were intended to offend female student schools that were not much liked, the word seems to have become an acceptable word since then.
Example Use of the 1990's
"Alele oh (School Name) Azontoa (Abontoa) mo nenam kwan kyen na mo y3 noma bone gyae nkwada bone sem yi".
Azonto music and dance went viral in 2011 and became Ghana's first pop culture phenomenon to have gained global appeal.
The basic movements of the azonto dance is said to have originated in Ga communities along the coast of Ghana's capital, Accra. The dance moves involve freehand movements and gesturing with varying signals and role plays. Azonto is influenced by Ghanaian cultural dances and popular dance forms that go with the hitherto most popular genre, hip life.

My dear, Yes you are right Azonto is a Ghanaian Dance, we all know that, but u people should accept the fact that if not Nigerians artist who took the dance far away, no one would have know what Azonto is, Wizkid thought CB, and u know wat that means if CB shoot the video, Ghanaian should be grateful. I have never heard Nigerians Artist compaling of Ghanians one, bcos if u look many of the ghanians artist today, they copy from Nigerians, even the pidgeon english language Ghanains now used, its From Nigeria, we never complain bcos we are all Africa, and brothers. Ghanians are soo jealous of Nigerians, why dont u people work hard to get to the stage we are now in the entertainment industries??

Ghanaian teachers educated Nigerians since when oil started to flow and was paid well. But Nigerians could not speak good grammatical expression and spoiled the queens English to date. Azonto is too popular internationally and can not be compared to any dance form of today. The white population dance Azonto but they don't even know psqure or 2face. I can not even compare them to Akon. Sarkodie, Gasmilla, Samini,Azonto Teacher in Belgium and most popular Tifany FUSE raising the Azonto pulse is our own making. Christ brown is just 2 months old in Azonto. Why has European security always alert on Nigerian diabolical prostitution and internet crime? You hide under cover with Ghana passport but they still know who real Nigerian is. What a shame!

Grateful my foot. For what? You see the kind of envyness and jealousy you people have against Ghanaians. Azonto is BIGGER than chris brown. Its like fetching water from the stream to drink. Whether chris brown dances azonto or not, AZONTO is already international. If cb has made a mistake, why not correct him but instead you want to leave that and talk about nonsense. If a Nigerian teaches me how to make hiphop music, must it be seen or will that mean that hiphop music came from Nigeria? What you don't know, don't talk about it. And a word of advice to my Nigerian brothers, the relationship between Ghana and Nigeria is very cordial. Don't allow wayward and dumbness comment from an ignoramus idiot like chris brown to spark any unnecessary tension.

Azonto is a stupid dance anyway. Intelligent people should not give a 100th of their heads to a nullity called Azonto.
My friend if u dont like azonto then get a life because us Ghanaians like azonto and u dont so go to a different planet
AS you can see P-square made a song copying azonto but its called a alingo but let me tell you its alright making a song about azonto but it is not alright to take all the credits .
What kind of stupid credit do u ghanaians want, somebody worked hard for his album and u want their credit, u knot heads
He said he learnt it from Whiz kid, that does not mean he explicitly says it is Nigerian, simple English!
The woman beater explicitly said "I learnt that...I learnt it from a Nigerian artiste by the name of Wizkid...so I don't wanna act like I created it...it's in Nigeria." simple english ! I hope you get the meaning of that.

Look man, We are not going to let an American tear Africa apart. If azonto is Nigerian or Ghanaian dance, we will take it.
Every where in the diaspora nigerians succeed more than ghanaians. They seem to be more confident and their kids do well than ghanaians kids. Ghanaian are too tame and not business minded as nigerians. Fact and I am Ghanaian.
Are they serious??? I don't see why Nigerians claim Azonto to be theirs!!!! This ain't something to get mad to, but it's jist a pain in da ASS to heear that. And dat rat calles "Wiz Kid" didn't even tell him it's from Ghana s ...

he aint shit himself. boycott vodafone; one!
This wee smoking guy has zero respect in America and he is becoming a household name in Ghana. This is a joke.
I don't even know why they brought this fool to perform in Ghana...
So this wizkid trying to steal azonto from Ghanaians now?
Nigerians think that Ghanaian's are swag so they copied our moves. We can't blame them. Go and perform somewhere else FOOL!!!!
CHRIS BROWN just need attention form Ghana. Tryn to pay a pay back game. Who publish dis at all. lol
this guy CB ,when will Ghanaian media grow? please think about something better and stop this hell talk
Point of correction, azonto is from gh. Wizkidd came to learn it from gh. Nigerian artiest like p square and wizkid can learn a lesson from Brown who was honest to admit he did not invent it.
WHY ARE GHANAIANS SO ENCHANTED ABOUT THIS 27 YEAR OLD SCHOOL DROP OUT? THERE IS NO BIG DEAL ABOUT BROWN. WHATEVER HE SAYS IS HERE SAY BECAUSE HE CAN'T READ!
Chris was under da influence of marijuana when in Ghana, so ignore his comment on Azonto.
