Hi, somethings are cheaper in ghana than in nigeria,

Men and Women shirts= frm 20cedis abv,

Shoes for women= from 15cedis abv

Ghana fabrics = frm 20 cedis abv.
All this u can get frm mokola market(accra) or accra market.
Gold u can get cheaper at kumasi.
15cedis = 1500naira.

20 cedis =2000naira.

It all depends on d quality of what you want to buy,if u know what u want then u dnt hv any probs.

it was nice and profitable. But have not been there since the foreign exchange crisis, but my friend over said things has gone up a bit but i think it till profitable cause labour is far cheaper in ghana than nigeria. Am trying to fine time to go there but, am considering how to exploit the nigeria market by looking out for are local product. Till ghana is a steping stone for business, from there you can go to dubai and then china. But if you want to go for holiday in ghana, ABC transport will help you get there by road, i go by road it so much fun, you will meet people of different classes, you get to experience of africa, the sea shore, the grass lands and the people you meet and countries you will pass through. For flight wakanow or flybat will help you get cheaper flight and hotels.

Thanks for the update. Travelling for fun is the last thing on my mind for now, for business is cool for me. What type of goods are you sourcing for locally?

Yes dear it important to have a passport cause you will need an entry visa from each country you pass through and incase of any problem in the country, you can confirm your identity at any nigerian embassy and receive the support you need. A nigerian passport is around 15k to 20k above depending on the pages you need.

Re: Are Goods In Ghana Cheaper Than Nigeria by Curtiss1000: 4:12pm On Aug 28, 2016
Pls kente 3.5k? Unless is Togo made, original Ghanaian kente goes for 9-12 cedis a yard. If we go with recent exchange rate, 1 cedi is almost 100 naira. So calculating it will give you 1k or 1.2k a yard. Trust me the original is worth it. My neighbours and family can testify.

I tried sourcing for materials but the quality of materials I saw were nothing to write home about. I took a sample of Dutch wax I bought years ago but saw nothing like it's quality. If you finally make a headway, don't forget to update.

try and buy something from Nigeria down here to Ghana you will make a lot of money but never buy something here to Nigeria because our naira don't have value for now,am still reminding you bring something from Nigeria for now don't forget.

thanks alot for this infomation, that means it now more profitable to import from nigeria to ghana not the other way round. I'll see what i can do about this oppuninity. Thanks again for the info.

k, but i wont advice it. Cause if you are stranded you are on your own, you cant receive money like moneygramm, western money etc and worst you can't claim to be a nigerian cause you got no passport. All the same ABC charges 5k extra for non passport holders

i think the fare is about 10k or less. You don't pay for any entry visa, ABC includes all fees in their fare. As for hotel you can checkout some hotel on wakanow or any other travel booking site. I advice you book online for a day then take you time to look for a cheaper place to stay later. Have not been in Ghana since early last year so alot in hotel fees must have change since this foreign exchange wahala.
