Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana are both African states with Akan plurality-populations, adding up to about 40-45 million people currently. Ghana has long been one of the most stable and prosperous states (maybe the most so) in west Africa, while Cote d'Ivoire was also doing well until the 1980s. Is there a way the formerly-British Ghana and formerly-French Cote d'Ivoire to have become politically unified to become a prosperous, democratic and powerful (at least, for Africa) regional power after 1945?
