Tough one. While I'd probably be more interested in Ethiopian culture than Ghanaian culture, it seems like Ghana is the slightly more stable one. I'll take Accra.
Great one. I choose Singapore. Less crowded, even safer than Hong Kong, cleaner, newer, better-planned, better-maintained, less traffic, less pollution, more politically stable, no typhoons, cheaper, wealthier, better economy, friendlier people, better food, better museums, more historical architecture, and better K-12 to university education. And my parents are from Hong Kong, so I've been there 7 times.
Singapore also has a better future than Hong Kong because Singapore has much better English. Hong Kong's English standards have declined, and it's hard to get around using only English sometimes. I actually have to use my Chinese reading skills. In Singapore I could get around entirely in English. Like it or not English, not Mandarin, is the language of the world and of the future.
Now Singapore has conscription and HK doesn't, but I'd serve a couple years if that meant freedom from Xi Jinping's tyranny over Hong Kong. And if you're a woman you won't be conscripted anyways. I wish Hong Kong the best
If you said "which would you rather visit" then I might choose Hong Kong, though I've been to both and love both.
I know, people are going to say that Singapore is the world's most expensive city (because the Economist said so), but IMO the Economist's list of most expensive cities is garbage. They even said Toronto and Seattle were cheaper than Houston....WTH?
And why did they say Singapore was the world's most expensive city? They said it was because Singapore is the world's most expensive place to own a CAR! But you do NOT need a car in Singapore!
And then they go on to say that Singapore has cheaper groceries than many major world cities like NYC...uh, isn't that what I care about? Singapore's real estate is also cheaper than NYC, not to mention Hong Kong.
Singapore vs. Taipei
Singapore for many of the reasons you mentioned.
Jerusalem, Israel vs Nicosia, Cyprus (battle of the two divided cities)
Bremen, I'm in love with continental Europe and I speak some German. I love the north of Germany.
Capetown, SA or Split, Croatia
Split, other than being a beautiful city surrounded by beauty its location is very attractive. Capetown is beautiful, but the location turned me off. Plus it is crime rate is increasing. Didn't get a good vibe when visited.
Buenos Aires Vs Madrid
