Ghanaian social media is losing its mind over a hilarious AI-generated YouTube Shorts video that pits two of the country’s most iconic former First Ladies, Lordina Mahama and the late Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings which is not AI generated though, in an imaginary dance showdown, and the internet has officially declared it the feel-good content of the week.
First Ladies’ Battle: President Mahama’s Lordina and J.J Rawlings’ Nana Konadu Agyeman, who wins?
The 45-second clip, created using cutting-edge AI video tools, shows a stylishly dressed Lordina Mahama hitting smooth azonto and afrobeat moves while the ever-fiery Nana Konadu counters with powerful alkayida steps and signature waist-winding energy. Complete with colourful ankara outfits, dramatic slow-motion hair flips, and a crowd of animated onlookers waving Ghana flags, the light-hearted “battle” ends with both ladies laughing and hugging as the screen flashes “Ghana wins!”
Since hitting YouTube and TikTok yesterday, the video has racked up over 800,000 views, with Ghanaians flooding the comment sections with fire emojis and playful allegiance declarations: “Team Lordina for the clean footwork!” versus “Mama Konadu’s energy is undefeated!” Many are praising the creator for the respectful and joyful tone, especially coming just weeks after the nation mourned Nana Konadu’s passing.
The trend highlights the growing wave of Ghanaian creators using AI to celebrate local culture in fun, wholesome ways, proving once again that when it comes to vibes, nobody does it like Ghana. As one viral tweet put it: “Even in AI, our First Ladies refuse to lose!”
