@nyameke: If according to you,90million Nigerians are living below poverty line, out of a population of about 150 million,it kinda means that about 60million Nigerians are not doing too badly,right?, That's over twice Ghana's population,not too bad. Get this into your silly head,most of the big Nigerian companies in Ghana have their head quarters and branches in and around Nigerian cities. Also,i suggest you visit Gambia,Sao tome,Benin,Togo etc you'll see more Nigerian companies there. So what are we doing for our 90million 'poor' people? Well,take the chinese for example,about 500 million chinese live below the poverty line,yet you see chinese companies in all parts of the world. These global companies are established strictly with the intention to make profits, and these profits goes back to motherland China. Same with Nigerian companies in Ghana,all their profits returns to Nigeria and is used to expand and grow their businesses in Nigeria,in doing this more jobs are created for our 'unemployed' Nigerians. But i'm sure you dont understand half of what i've just explained, that's the effect of too much kenkey.

Fellow Nairalanders,let's END this thread. Mr Moderator,over to you!

@Gbawe Bros what dey happen, why are you laying hide and seek with moi la?
Respond to my post la

londoner:

It is obvious that the "new" Ghanaian members on NL that sign up just to contribute to Ghana threads or Naija bashing ones, are the few Ghanaian members that we have always known here.

They just lack the courage to write their rubbish under the user names we know them under normally.


@Gbawe, seriously you are right, we are dealing with two sets of people both on NL and in the real world. The Ghanaian with the inferiority complex (but timidity in equal measure to make any inroads alongside Nigerians even on his own soil).

Then there is the ignorant self hating Nigerian who no matter what is being discussed, will always align themselves against the Nigerian, simply because it involves a Nigerian. Many of them have never even been to Ghana, they just go on rumours and because it fits into their self loathing, they gravitate towards it even when "de matter for ground dey different".

nyameke:

see this one too  you think I'm old member and would sign on just to tell some of you how silly you can be, I guess you and kwaseato Gbawe are brothers then, I have been a silent reader on nairaland for three months and just like ghanaweb like how I do to some silly and ignorant ghanaians I felt the Need to do same to ignorant silly nigerians on here because some of y'all thinking is flawed and zombie-like, As far as a ghanaian having inferiority complex towards nigerians well to put it mildly I will say they don't deserve to be ghanaians and are ignorants and there are a few. Cus m yet to really see anything that Nigeria has done for its people that is worthy of praise. I used to think you guys would turn the hell hole called Nigeria around but now I don't know Cus all you hear is we have  potential, we're aggressive we bold bla bla yet yall can't and don't sh@t and being taken on a roller coaster ride. Talk about weak minded people, some of you get it though so there is hope  

Gbawe:

Ol boy you still dey here? Chicken Republic and Mr. Biggs are aggressively opening branches everywhere in Ghana . You better go and get an application form rather than wasting precious time here . Or do you wan't to be jobless forever? Coscharis sef dey look for delivery drivers. You can also try Silverbird Cinema . Dem dey look for aisle ushers and you might be lucky

Gbawe:

I don't even know what to say to all what you wrote above but wow !! You go around the forum pretending to be smart yet you can write this:

So Nigerians are "making a nuisance of themselves in Ghana" ? Egbami !!! See ignorance . Very obvious you are one of those who contend that Nigerians do no good at all and should be accorded no dignity whatsoever !!! Adolf hitler once argued same about jews and Black folks and we all know what the world, except demented folks, think of him!!!!

Most of what you wrote above just show you are autocratic and not really bright at all. We should all aspire for our Nations, and indeed the world, to be a place where decent folks can carry on their business without discrimination. No one genuinely bright, exposed and reasonable can begin to justify patently wrong behaviour in the wild manner you are doing here and with total conjecture. You prefer to claim someone "ran away" to Ghana when this chap was actually working in Ghana with his Nigerian Company. A predisposition to thinking the worst of your own people, combined with your intolerant talk shows a very ugly and ignorant disdain for the right of human being to be accorded dignity.

What you write below gives a vital clue to what your real problem is and your patently unreasonable hatred of Nigerians to the extent you prefer to rant against them intolerantly even when they are victims.

You are not even able to give credit where it is due. You claim ungraciously that Nigerian musician have "zero talent" , in trying to malign Nigeria, yet you do not realize that in saying that you are also knocking the entire continent because , right now, Nigerian music is virtually the most popular and most acclaimed in Africa. The awards confirm it too with Nigeria consistently winning 90% of awards at the African MTV award.

Rather than knock the Sports Commentator who went far beyond his remit and shamed his profession you praise him because "the truth is bitter". Is Ghana never guilty of age cheating ? Or are you in support of hypocrisy, double standards and always pointing a finger at others when we too are not without guilt? The central issue of gross Professional misconduct is totally lost on you as long it is Nigerians being maligned . You foolishly , in your haste to justify all wrongdoing against Nigerians, fail to understand that unfounded accusation should be something for the beer parlor and not live TV to be seen throughout the World!!!! If Obama said all Nigerians are killers you will probably defend him without understanding that such talk should not come from a President saddled with the duty of promoting peace and harmony !!!!

And look at the disgraceful nonsense from you below:

You are just arguing your way backward simply because you are committed to maligning Nigeria unfairly - and I know why.  Why mention Nkrumah and Rawlings for Ghana and IBB and OBJ for Nigeria as if both Countries don't produce good and bad ? You are beyond redemption. Sorry .

aribisala0:

bawe you are an extremist .

you are not more patriotic than anyone .

1. ghana is not worth the time that has been spent on it here.
2. we have serious problems of our own in nigeria and need to face the truth.denouncing people who point out our legion flaws as self-hating is misguided .

as i have told you several times we need to shut up and get busy.
china the us's biggest creditor still receives aid from the us and even the uk.
they are forever claiming to be a poor developing nation so why all the noise from us.
this ghana thing is a bit of fun but really one only gives these clowns oxygen  by engaging them in polemics.
on an individual level there are few if any countries that match the achievements of nigerians in africa in most fields of human endeavour but that is not,in my view ,a reason to gloat since we have failed miserably to translate that into anything meaningful for our country .

the fact that nigerians are now exchanging abuse with ghanaians online is a new low and a reflection of the depths to which we have sunk.

Ricky_Ross:

@Gbawe my brother pls stop wasting your time and energy on these ignorant fools. I have spent a lot of time reading all your posts and you make a lot of sense. You have been to Ghana and have witnessed the amount of hatred these low minded fools have against Nigerians. I used to love Ghanaians as my brothers, but all that changed when i visited Ghana.

Nigerians believe in hearsay. Most of the fools here on Nairaland will tell you that Ghana has steady electricity that lasts 10 years non stop. These are some of the lies/rumors i heard before i set my foot in Ghana. But low and behold, the same day i arrived Ghana there was power cut that lasted days? Ghana has good and bad sides just like Nigeria. But there is no area where Ghana can compete with Nigeria apart from 419 scam. Nigerian boys invented 419 scam but Ghanaians has taken the lead. Just visit any internet cafe in Ghana and you will see mostly Ghana boys and girls as young as 13 years, all of them either sending fake scam emails or posting fake photos on dating sites to deceive people. The difference is that the Ghana boys add charms (SAKAWA) to their 419 scams which is why they die young. In drug trafficking Ghanians are very active as well. Each time a BLACK African drug baron is caught in London he is either a Nigerian or Ghanaian. Nigeria is the most corrupt country in Africa followed closely by Ghana.
I have lived in Ghana, married to a pretty Ghanaian lady, have been to all regions in Ghana. When you travel round Ghana you start to appreciate Nigeria. Nigeria is poor but Ghana is far much poorer. Nigerian leaders are corrupt and so is Ghanaian leaders. Nigerian police is corrupt and so is Ghana police. You can commit any crime in Ghana and get away with it as long as you pay bribe. Just like Nigeria, there is massive corruption in all areas of Ghanaian economy. An average Ghanain custom officer or post office staff will prefer you to pay bribe and collect parcel/goods than issue you official government receipt. Why are Ghanaians not worried about the massive corruption in Ghana? Why are they so much worried about Nigeria and its citizens? Great number of Ghanaians are illiterates. 4 out of every 10 Ghanian boy/girl you meet in Ghana cannot speak English. Have you ever met any Nigerian girl that cannot speak even pidgin English? Stop 10 taxis in Accra and 4 of them dont speak English and yet Ghanaian's will tell you they have good schools and stuff?

An average Ghanaian derives so much joy spending alot of time insulting Nigerians, any crime committed in Ghana they blame it on Nigerians when in reality the Ghanians are the crooks themselves. I was in Ghana when armed robbers broke into a bank in dome area of Accra. That same day the entire Ghana nation as a whole started calling all Nigerians to be deported, claiming it was Nigerian criminals that broke into the bank. From market women to radio stations etc. As a result, dozens of innocent Nigerians were arrested and detained at the Dome/Kwabenya police stations. But after thorough investigations, they arrested the 7 Ghanaian bandits that committed the crime, still they didnt release the Nigerians for free, they had to pay bribes to gain freedom,
I am not saying Nigeria is perfect. Just imagine what Nigeria will look like if we get little support from the government. We are not asking for too much, just give us steady electricity and you will see Nigeria develop by itself and compete with Brazil/India/China. I am a proud Nigerian, i know about our problems and i wish that our leaders will have a change of heart. But I dont know why Ghanaians like to talk about Nigerians instead of the most important problems in Ghana. In Ghana, day in day out they are discussion about Nigerians, when in real sense we Nigerians dont give a mess about Ghana. Let us leave Ghanaians to their ignorance. While they are busy attacking us, wise Nigerians are busy making too much money and buying up everything in Ghana. Very soon Ghanaians will be slaves in their own country. When Ghanas under 20 team won the world cut in Egypt all Nigerians and Africans celebrated with them. Most Nigerian shops in Ghana gave free drinks to everyone, including my own bar in Accra. Nigerians in Nigeria and all over the world celebrated in different ways, same thing happened during the last world cup in South Africa. But when it was Nigerias turn, these fat, poor, obese ugly Ghanaians were shouting that Nigeria's under 17 team were age cheats, instead of being happy that an African team has done well. What further evidence do we need to prove that Ghanaians are not our brothers? Are they telling us these ugly Ghanain footballers like Appiah and Essien are using their real age? Is there ant crime Nigerians commit that Ghanians dont commit? Their envy and jealousy will kill them, Nuf said

If ever there was a delusional pontificating individual  full of hot air and unecessary self importance it is you Mr Gbawe, come down from your undeserving position of self importance and start living in the real world like the rest of us.

Yes, i see no reason why nigerians who claim to be the giants of africa have to run to ghana to make a living, why cant they make a livign in nigeria if the country is so great?  By the way Nigerians are the most intolerant set of human beings on the face of this planet so you would do well to do away with your crass hypocrisy, if nigerians loved each other so much, [b]why were northerners massacring igbos in the north, why were igbos betrayed by the yorubas?  Adolf Hitler though a crackpot was defending the national and cultural integrity of his nation hence is decision to rid his [/b]country of the jews who he saw as the enemy, nigeria has no nationalistic movement because it is not a united nation -  the people within it fight and kill each other in order to gain power and control over the other tribes.

You are  in no position to assume the moral high ground when it comes to discrimination and bad treatment,  because Nigerians are highly intolerant of other black africans.  Funnily enough this intolerance evaporates into thin air the minute you see oyibo people, which is evident from the way whites abuse, exploit and generally take the piss out of nigerians IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY. do you think black south africans would tolerate the kind of abuse from whites that nigerians put up with on a daily basis?

Are you not ashamed of the way nigerians kow tow to white expatriates IN NIGERIA but treat each other like garbage?
The only time people like you grow a pair of balls is when you are around other africans - cowards!

Save your self pity for someone who gives a shi.t - if nigerians were more humble towards other africans they would not be victims of the so called bad treatment that you refer to.

No, im just knocking the unoriginal, copy cat nigerian musicians who think that they are doing something ground breaking by mimicking (very badly) african american artists, there are other african artistes that are original and stick to their own brand of music ie the congolese and south africans  and i have a lot of respect and admiration for them but if you think im going to give undeserved praise to those wanna be phony nigerian rappers you've got another think coming.

bla bla bla whine whine whine, your words are like white noise in my ears, high pitched, irritating and inconsequential, ive said my mind, you can take it or leave it - the choice is yours.

Naturally I wouldn't have responded to this pile of garbage, but since you chose to to spew a bunch of lies it only fair that i respond to you in equal measure.

No Ghanaian have every said Ghana is a paradise, you could visit any of the popular Ghanaian and see for yourself how people complain about what is happening in Ghana, but in spite of all the setbacks in Ghana, life in Ghana is light years ahead of life in Nigeria. Its only Nigerians who by virtue of inhumane lifestyles they are forced to live under who see Ghana as a paradise once they visit there.

Ask yourself who every well to do Nigerian wants to own a property in Ghana, Ask yourself why Nigerians have chosen Ghana as their number one holiday destination, Ask yourself why Nigeria Banks/companies  want to enter the Ghana by hook or crook.

I have been to Nigeria on several occasions with Nigerian friends I met in Europe and I can tell you for a fact that its more than a war zone over there. You couldn't get out at night without having to travel with a convoy  for fear of armed robbery. And when  sunsets the whole so-called plush neighborhood turns into massive factory because every household have to resort to generator. Streets are stark dark, Police are as corrupt as hell , and for what reason ? Its only Nigeria that you will come across Agberos who can extort money from everyone and the police can't do a thing.

Ghana has a higher mortality rate, better literacy rate, better standard of living. Ghana ranks number one safest country in Africa (Used to be Tunisia)and the number 2 (ranged 26 worldwide) on the World Press Freedom Index.

You people like to pretend that's its only Ghanaians who don't like you whiles in fact you sleep and eat Ghana over there. Its only Nigeria that ministers of state use public forum to lash out Ghana for no reason. If I could refresh your memories just have a look at the link below.

Nigeria as a country as an identity problem, the whole world sees Nigeria in a certain light which might not be what the true situation is, If you like just have a look at CNN and take a good look at the comments when Nigeria ever gets mentioned

What bought about this whole argument was just a simple song, something which could have been laughed over and brushed aside, but what did you do? You decided to bring the whole country into the fray and bash us for no good reason
