i made a post about my current condition in ghana last week and i got a lot of response, big ups to you guys and to those comparing both countries this is what i have to say.
do your findings and discover that war torn countries like somalia, syria and iraq has a better quality of life than nigeria, i was surprised people were comparing nigeria to ghana.

i am surprised people that claimed to have lived in or living in ghana are saying nigeria is better than ghana, though everybody is entitled to their opinion but the truth is i have never seen any area where nigeria is better than ghana.
what an average ghanian enjoys for almost free is a very tall dream for an average millionaire in nigeria.
i mean how can you compare nigeria, a country that has the lowest minimum wage in the world, a country that has the highest number of poor people in the world, a country with the highest number of out of school children in the world, a country with the highest number of homeless people in the world, a country with one of the very lowest life expectancy in the world just surpassing only one or two countries worldwide.

even in west africa nigeria doesnt come close to it's pairs and neighbors in terms of security, power and quality of life.
i have done business and spent at least a month in six africa countries, namely, niger, cameroon, benin republic, togo, ghana and ivory coast.
i spent more than a month in niamey, niger rep and i never slept without electricty, i mean niger republic o.

how would you compare nigeria to ghana a country where an average youth has never seen a generator set all his life, barbers, football viewing centers, welders do not bother owning a generator.

a country where invigilantee system is alien to them, security of lives and property are totally the job of the govt and they are doing well excelently in this regard.
ghana never sleeps, you can decide to stroll at 2 in the morning in ghana either you are in the city or in the village and you will still see people outside without any fear, you can get a cab at any time, even at 3 in the morning.

even with a good and responsive succesive govts, it will take a very long years of concerted efforts for nigeria to attain the level of sanity in ghana.
a country that 85 percent of it's citizen gets steady power and water supply making them the second highest in west africa.
markets scenes in ghana are far more decent in raining season in than how markets looks in dry season in nigeria.

provision of water is the responsibility of govt, there is hardly priavte boreholes by individuals.
the day nigerians depend on govt for water we will all.....

if nigeria states govt eg kaduna state govt can sponsor students on scholarship to a dead country like sudan you can imangine how many nigerian students are here in ghana.
education in nigeria is a child's play compared to what is obtainable here in gh, nigeria spends millions of dollars annually on edaction here in ghana, kids of politicians and our so called multimillionaires are all benefitting from the education system here.
sadly the quality of many nigerian universities cannot be compared to many SHS schools in ghana.
in fact and embarassinly, when oladimeji bankole was the number four citizen of nigeria, as a speaker of the federal house of representatives, his wife was schooling and even gave birth in ghana.

do you want to talk about the influence, power and respect a ghanian passport holder has over his nigerian counterpart worldwide?, as a ghanian passport holder you can visit UAE, singapore, indonesia etc without visa

accra is currently the fastest growing capital city in west africa with lots of foreigners, celebrities and public figures visiting every year.

jay z, wiley, stormzy, wizkid, michael blackson, genevieve nnaji, emmanuel adebayor all have houses in ghana
wizkid spends more time in ghana than in nigeria whenever he is in africa, ice prince lives in ghana.
davido, burna boy tiwa savage etc, ghana is their preferred destination for holidays as i have met burna boy and a host of nigerian celebs in labadi beach.
i met bella shmurda at krokobite beach too.

immedately after the death of bob marley, his wife rita marley relocated to ghana and has been living in ghana for ages till today, she even has a studio in aburi.
gospel preacher and music act, ron kenoly has applied to be a ghanaian citizen and relocating to spend the rest of his life in ghana.

to those comparing and complaining about how expensive things are in ghana, the truth is things are far more expensive in nigeria than in ghana.
the reason you think things are more expensive in ghnana is because of the uselessness of the value of naira.
if the exchange rate of the currency was around even 50 naira to a cedi it woldnt have been this difficult, the simple truth is as far as you are a nigerian and doing calculations between naira and any other country things will always seem high in that country because the value of naira against most africa currency is just shit.

you can travel between between 15 differnt cities without experiencing a single pothole 'not exagerating'

in most states in nigeria apart from lagos, you dont get more than 5 local tv channles on your tv, apart from your state tv channels that governors use as number one propaganda tool and Ait, siverbird and one or two more channels.
in ghana the average number of free channels which many of them are premium is not less than 30 at a go.
it means a poor ghanian can after a day's work, come home on a good road, with good security without fear of being kidnapped,robbed or attacked, meet electricity at home, eat with a fan blowing him and thereafter tune in a television and watch a premium channel like mtvbase for free till whenever he likes without fear of power outage or 'NTA' interupting that entertaining programme to show one campaign rally.
this is what you cannot easily obtain in nigeria even as a millionaire.

around 2014/15 while i was still doing business between benin republic and togo, if i take 50, 000 naira to benin republic i will have over 150,000 cfa in benin rep, then i can buy cloths, shoes for resale in nigeria but today, that same money cannot buy a dozen of rat poison in benin rep anymore because even the cfa now has more value than naira in the black market now.
those of you complaining how things are expensive in ghana, it is like buying a donut in america for a dollar and complaining you have spent over 500 naira on a common donut, the problem is not the american economy neither their currency but our own valueless naira.

on the issue that ghanaians are hostile to nigerians as insinuated by about three monikers, that is not true, i have never seen people as warm and nice as ghanians, mostly their women.
only their men are somehow hostile due to the fact that they see nigerians as competition and the manner nigerians display sometimes.
in fact, ghana has some of the nicest women on earth.
the true is nigerians cannot even take one percent of the nuisance some nigerians are constituting here.
from momo robbery to kidnapping to ritual killing to scamming and all kind of reklessleness exibhited daily by nigerians.

though nigera has great and a lot of potentials with the right leaders, we have the biggest economy in africa but it is useless if you compare the life an average nigerian lives to that of a benenoise, a nigerien, cameroonian etc.
nigeria has a bigger economy than ghana but if you calculate the gdp per capital, ghana beats naija.

living in nigeria is a game, you can't travel from ogun state to lagos without your heart in your hand, how about benin to ekpoma that is even less than an hour drive you can encounter multiple kidnapping nd robbery scenes, meanwhile you can travel at anytime to anywhere with peace of mind in ghana.

since i was born i have never benefitted anything from th nigeiran govt, rather they take the little i manage to get through blood, sweat and tears.
i invested 2 million naira in agriculture in the north central part of nigeria, just few weeks to harvest, herdsmen came to my farm on a saturday and graized till sunday, destroyed everything they met, crossed the river demancating my farm from my neighbor's and was graizing on my neighbor's groundnut famr when me and security came to the farm after being alerted by my manager, the two herdsmen were deatained but got released after an alhaji facilitated their release and 'compenated', yes, i was compensated with 5000 naira for damages of millions of naira.
police took 2k from the moeny and i was left with just 3k, i no get choice, me and my guy just went to the ashawo house in the village, drink palmwine and bush meat with the 3k and went home.
i was later informed by a female officer that the alhaji gave police 5k initially so that they'police' should convince or force me to take five k offer or i go home with nothing, so police got 7k while i got 3k.
just to leave that environment to avoid suicide thoughts, few weeks later i gathered the little i had left and relocated to togo.

nigerians make up about 70 to 80 percent of foreigners herein ghana are nigerians and hunfreds are coming everyday while there are few ghanaians in nigeria.
more than half of the prostitute here are nigerian girls, do you ever wonder why girls from other african countries dont come to do prostitution in nigeria?
because if a ghanian prostitute gets paid a hundred thousand naira if she converts it to cedis it will be just chop money.

an average nigerian millionaire can live comfortably in a remote ghanian village, because he will be assured of security, 24 hours electricity, good road network to the city, you can go to night club in the city and drive back to the village at 3 in the morning without fear.
but it will be a hellculain task for just an average ghanian civil servant sef to settle down in nigerian city because of lack of electricity, no road, no security, no peace of mind, no tv channels to watch even if you manage to give yourself electricity without DSTV.

though the current akuffo addo govt is calamitous but still better than all the govts nigeria has ever elected since 1999 'i have facts incase you want to argue with me on this'
late last year, the ghanian cedi became the worse performing currency against the dollar but exactly a month later the cedi became the best performing currency against the dollar, at least that is a responsive govt unlike what we have in nigeria.

i am a typical edo man.

Lol when did the Cedis became the best performing currency if you want to talk about best Performing currency for now in West Africa that should be West Africa Cefa...

Last time I checked GHS to a Dollar is still at 12.0 from black market that's like 760 cos CBN will never give u foreign currency to live or go vacation in Ghana...

Unless you want to lie to Yourself bring the Price of things over there let's compare with Nigeria...

Ordinary Club Beer wey the standard no Pass Throphy or Goldberg is been sold for 12cedis that's like 750 how much is Gulder in Nigeria how much is Gulder in Ghana 11 cedis to 12 cedis Nigeria Produce wey dem dey use Diesel is even cheaper than Ghana own country wey dey use Electricity..

And the 247 electricity please can you tell us how it's really really add to ur productivity and increase the money in ur account....

Imagine saying nothing Nigeria is enjoying all our products are being produced with Diesel and still our products are still cheaper than dere own...




How can you even say Ghana inflation rate is 9 na Wu u wan dey lie for they've the report on derr Govt site go check it out is at 52....

Nigeria economy is better than Ghana economy you can take that to the bank Akufo Addo only speaks English is more clueless than Buhari....

you still dont get it, despite the huge economy, what an average ghanaian cvil servant enjoys for free a nigerian millionaire cannot get it even with millions in nigeria.
you cannot see a fuel tanker on the road in abidjan, all the fuel tankers have a dedicated train line.
even benin republic have a dedicate lanes for motorcycles in most of their major roads.
travel and see, nigeria is a jungle

So with all these hype for Ghana, you could still not achieve anything and have decided to come back to Nigeria.
Most of your claims were without statistics backup. For instance, Ghana has installed capacity of 5300 mega watt of electricity of which only 2400 is available. You claimed why things appeared more expensive in Ghana is because of the value of Naira, but it's all about what value of Commodities your currency can offer you.
The fact is that you hates Nigeria which was why you ran away to Ghana only for you to fail there and realize that Nigeria still offer the best opportunities for you. If you continue with this your negative mentality on Nigeria, you may end up relocating to South Sudan very soon.
While I agreed that we are not doing well and would want us to do better as a nation, Nigeria offers more opportunities

please point anything i said that is wrong there.
brother, these is not my first time in ghana, while i was in togo i was very frequent in ghana, i used to supply stuffs at ashamai market.
i do not hate nigeria but i am only stating facts and my experience.
the only regret i have is not coming earlier enough to invest in ghana or togo.
see bro, i have done shoe business between five african countries and i know what i am saying.
cows ate up my 2 millionaire naira investment within hours in nigeria bro, that is impossible in this same sudan you are taunting.
