The king of Ghana gained wealth by taxing trade. Using the wealth gained from this taxation, Ghana quickly expanded into an empire. It conquered surrounding lands. The people living in the conquered lands were forced to give a tribute, or payment, to Ghana's king.
Ghana only traded within Africa and Songhai had Muslim influences. The main trade in Ghana was between salt and gold, but the trade in Songhai was more diverse. In Ghana they had to pay tax to the king, but in Songhai they did not. Ghana was ruled by a single king. Songhai had five provinces that were each ruled by a separate governor. I hope that helps :)

Ghana gain its wealth through trade. Traders that traveled through its territories had to pay taxes for the goods they sold. Ghana made its fortune in Africa. They used it to expand their army's and to expand the kingdom. The armies conquered neighboring lands and brought more and more wealth to the kingdom.
Trading was the significant factor that led to the growth of the Ghana Empire. Ghana has been referred to as the Land of Gold, and its ability to mine and trade that gold contributed significantly to its rise. The empire lasted from 400 to 1200.
The name Ghana means Warrior King.
Ghana had many different kings before and each king was the nephew of the last king. In this case it is always the sister's son

The colonists were English and the king owned the colonies. Everything was controlled by the king.
In Ghana, the kingdom is inherited only by the son of the king's sister. In Arab states, property passed through a man's sons, not the sons of his sister. So, in Ghana, the throne went to the king's nephew.
