As the saying goes, “sharing is caring” and Ghanaians practice this to the letter, right from infancy.
Growing up, here are 11 things we are not supposed to share but we still do.
1. Yoghurt Ice Cream
One yoghurt ice cream in Ghana costs, ¢1.00 and you would have thought that everybody could afford it but one person can buy it and share it with 3 friends because that’s all they’ve got.
2. Coconut
A coconut costs ¢2.00 in Ghana, but we have people who share it among themselves. One drinks small and then passes it onto his friend to continue and when it gets to the food, they split it as well. Why not just buy two or three you may ask. Well!! the money may not be enough or the other might think one will be too much for him. What are friends for right?

3. Roasted or Boiled Corn
After buying, we actually break it in two and share although it is just ¢0.50p or ¢1.00.

4. Take-Away Rice
That rice is just like 3 spoonfuls oh! but we still share just so everybody can have a taste.

5. Roasted Groundnuts
We buy roasted groundnuts and all our friends stretch their hands forward and you have no option than to share.

6. Kofi Brokeman
This is a name we’ve given to roasted ripe plantain and it’s one of the things we don’t need to share at all but unfortunately, we do.

7. Trotro Seat
Sometimes, “man dey hala” and so you will have no option than to share a seat with him in a commercial vehicle.
8. Sponge
You might think this is a personal item till you find yourself in a Senior High School in Ghana and you will realise, it’s something people don’t mind sharing.
9. Towel
Same with a towel, even if you don’t share, someone will forcibly share it with you. Most people see nothing wrong with picking your towel to dry themselves, after all, it’ll get dry soon.

10. Flip Flops
“Charlie Wote” as we affectionately call it, is not something that belongs to one person in a Ghanaian home. Once you buy one, it belongs to everyone in the house and they always take it when you really need it.

11. Shaving Stick
A shaving stick is a very private item and health professionals advise that it be used by just a single person but it’s one item that you’ll find being shared in households in Ghana.
