The skepticism about the empire of Ghana and the accounts for it is nothing weird because the majority of what is written about it is from two people from the same place, that had totally different views and interpretations on the things, and came from different culture.
Very often in the historical text, the people that wrote something have been very subjective, not objective. Thus the writings of these two Arab geographers can be very misleading, as they described what they saw with their own eyes, but also with using their own perception. That has proven numerous times to give very inaccurate depictions of a society and culture, like the depictions of the Romans for the Celts, or of the Greeks for the Scythian female warriors that they named Amazons.
There's only one point of view unfortunately, and it is always much more reliable when multiple writings are available from people from multiple different backgrounds, or the best scenario if it is writings from the people in question.

In his seminal book on the historical periods of Western attitudes
toward death, Philippe Aries describes four consecutive periods through
which these attitudes evolved and transformed. According to him, the
historical attitudes of Western cultures have passed through four major
parts described above: “Tamed Death,” One’s Own Death,” “Thy Death,” and
“Forbidden Death.” This paper, after exploring this concept through the
lens of Persian Poetic Wisdom, concludes that he historical attitudes
of Persian-speaking people toward death have generally passed through
two major periods. The first period is an amalgamation of Aries’ “Tamed
Death” and “One’s Own Death” periods, and the second period is an
amalgamation of Aries’ “Thy Death” and “Forbidden Death” periods.
