Ghanaians are always coming. Regardless, of what you say or do the response always seems to be the same, “Please, I am coming” or “Miiba” (Ga- pronounced minba) or “Mereba” (Twi- pronounced meeba). The phrase essentially means, I will be with you in a minute (but often a minute turns into an hour or several hours).
Waiting is a key part of Ghanaian life. Therefore, learning the phrase miiba is essentially to living in a Ga speaking area of Ghana.
