Askia Muhammad Toure greatly expanded the Songhai Empire during his reign from 1493 to 1528. He conquered many new territories and extended the empire's influence in West Africa through military campaigns and strategic alliances.
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 :)
