Some are so impressed by your rants that they want to shout 'Gbawe for President'! So sad! Of course,

Wow, not sad in the least, brilliant idea!

Gbawe for President

@ gbawe
d fact still remains that, if IVM can bring a nano type vehicle with its attendant low cost, the nigerian market will be at their feet!
they can just follow the china way i.e. get a unit of the car, reverse engineer it, and do a little bit of remodification and brand it IVM SOLO
They can also get a bentley and do same, brand this one - IVM OROBO  (executive)
i promise to buy 5 pieces of the solo model, distribute to my siblings,  they've been crying on my neck for tokunbo cars

IMAGINE SUCH BEAUTY FOR N300, 000:00

GBAWE FOR PRESIDENT!!!

*hu no lykam, make em go jump 100story buildin without parachute. hu give's a rat's a$$?*

We should not allow ourself to be divided; Nigeria and Ghana can work together on this project. Anybody with the slightest penchant for business understands the value and importance of corporate merger and how this action redefines and repositions a corporation’s financial and behavioural pattern on the African market. And here is where a United African economy should be across the African continent to create the wealth of the continent.

Pafuri:

Gbawe, you take yourself and your diatribe too seriously. 'Ni ilu afoju, olojukan l'oba'. It feels good to you that you are cheered on by less intelligent folks around you. They make silly comments, throw in some insults here and there simply because a poster does not agree with your (Gbawe's) opinion, not even their own opinions. Some are so impressed by your rants that they want to shout 'Gbawe for President'! So sad! Of course, you seem to enjoy it. This does not speak well of your intelligence. The state of your mind is another question. How come everything has to be confrontational where you are concerned?. GLO/Adenuga, why, maybe Ghana stopped liking them because they realised Adenuga is a front for Babangida. Think of the 'love' Nigerians have for IBB and you wonder why Ghana may not want to deal with someone or a business that is related to IBB, the CIA agent who helped put more drugs on American streets than even the dreaded but benevolent Pablo Escobar. Did you also consider that Obasanjo's hand might be in this for the same reason as above? Then again, there is the 'Third Term Agenda' and IBB's not-so-active opposition? Could it be that OBJ leaned on the authorities in Ghana for his own diabolic plans?. And the female estate developper; why could she not build in Nigeria? Your answer is as good as mine. 'It is all Ghana's fault!', you say. You are crying yourself hoarse like a church pastor on a Sunday morning. Give us some analysis please. Ghana does not owe Nigeria and Nigerians anything. I am sick and tired of this sense of entitlement on the part of the 'Giant' of Africa. A drunk gaint is not a good sight to see. And yes, some of you have doubted my origin and loyalty to Nigeria. I will answer you by saying that blind loyalty has never done the leader any good. Besides, 'omo t'o shipa l'angbe'. I am an Ibadan man.

My friend , I cannot begin to tell you how unimpressed I am with your "intelligence" from your writing . You cannot see how much of a self-hater of your own nation you have become with how you naturally make excuses for the legitimate complaints of Nigerians . Have you ever been to Ghana? Do you have a business there? If not why do you find it easy to dismiss the complaints of Nigerians who know Ghana well? Could it be that you are one of those eager to wave away the complaint of your fellow Nigerians , without inspecting their grieviance , because you are sure they must have done something wrong?

And the female estate developper; why could she not build in Nigeria?

As usual more classic self-hatred. Every Nigerian investor must invest in Nigeria ? Property development is a far cheaper industry to grow in Ghana than Nigeria. I happen to know this case personally. This woman , like other Nigerians , was one of those passing through Ghana. As is always the case, she was initially impressed with what she saw to include the numerous opportunities Ghanaians were spurning. Since she is not breaking any laws doing business in Ghana she made the move. What she was not prepared for , and what I want Innoson to avoid, is the treachery and xenophobia of Ghanaians when dealing with Nigerians. A lot of folks are now turning around to frustrate this woman's effort merely because she is Nigerian. The President himself personally waded in to declare that work must stop "till further notice" when Accra has a Mayor and a land commision !!! go figure.


As per you IBB, Adenuga, Escobar, OBJ speech, I don't even know what to say other than just remain silent because it is senseless to comment on writing that amounts to excuses , deviod of logic, conjured up by a self-hating Nigerian to mitigate for what other Nigerians with actual knowledge of Ghana have complained of .


You talk of a confrontational atitude. Yet you think you are not the confrontational one when you ungraciously insult others casually ?

It feels good to you that you are cheered on by less intelligent folks around you.

Please show me a decent Nigerian , after experiencing Ghana for more than a fleeting moment, who has not become 'confrontational' in defending Nigerians/Nigerian interests in Ghana because of how they are targeted unfairly. In the past , No Nigerian loved or spoke of Ghana with more passion than Dele Momodu. He was one of the first Nigerians to move a division of his business to Ghana. In the piece below , written by Momodu in 2007, it is clear Momodu , like many stand up and non self-hating Nigerians , has been put in a postion where he too has had to defend Nigerians. The xenophobia Dele Momodu identifies in 2007 , under a visionary Ghanaian President (Kufour), is now far worse under a clueless and openly xenophobic President who is actually taking Ghana backwards. You don't know Ghana so please stop insulting those who do. Nigerians with much higher profile than myself have complained so please go away with your self-hating and ignorant mitigation for what is going on in Ghana.

As Nigerians Invade West Africa, A Warning
Pendulum By Dele Momodu E-mail: delemomodu@thisdayonline.com, 08.30.2007

The level of hatred against Nigeria and Nigerians generally is unbelievable. We are probably the most hated country, and citizens of Africa. The conspiracy against us is only comparable to that of the Americans.
Everywhere in the world, a Nigerian and his green passport evoke instant emotion and suspicion. We are always believed to be everything bad under the sun.

But it is not our fault. God must have created us to be different and to be a special people, with a proud and glorious heritage. Just mention any country as endowed as Nigeria in Africa, with our population, natural resources, fertile minds, aggressive ambition, superlative fashion sense, never–say–die attitude, spiritual fortification against natural disasters and the Midas touch. Never mind our bad luck with getting leaders who can lead us out of economic doldrums and political instability. It is only a matter of time.


What is worrisome about the hatred against the Nigerian is that it cuts across all nations, including countries that have benefited and continue to benefit from our large-heartedness. I am particularly disturbed about the West Coast where trouble seems to be brewing again. Some of us have traversed the length and breadth of West Africa and worked hard in the last few years to encourage unity and good neighbourliness among our people. I drove a lot between Nigeria and Ghana and this enabled me to feel the pulse of our brothers and sisters who are nearest to us.
We were arrested several times in the middle of nowhere and money extorted from us. Our cars were impounded on flimsy excuses and we later discovered that our travel documents had been cleverly but mischievously altered by customs people. The commonest trick was to add a figure to the chassis number on your ECOWAS brown card, thereby finding a cast-iron alibi to impound your car and extort money from you.

I must also alert our nation and our government urgently about the new threat that is growing against Nigerians and Nigerian interests in Ghana. I have been a major marketer of the renewed Nigeria – Ghana economic and tourism alliance in the last 12 years, out of which I have lived there for about five years.
Nigerians today are invading Ghana in droves as tourists and investors. The influx of Nigerians has made Ghana to become an expensive country to live in. Our rich students are all over the campuses in Ghana spending an average of $10,000.00 per annum, as a result of the collapse of education at home in Nigeria.



As media operators, we gauge the mood of the nation, and we know that the heat is on. There are serious campaigns going on against Nigerian businesses. You only need to listen to radio, which is the most powerful medium in Ghana. Everywhere you go, you hear such comments like “these Nigerians are taking over our country.”
I have had to go radio to defend Nigeria. Even our outgoing High Commissioner, Dr. Tunji Kolapo had to phone in on one of such programmes. Our students have been expelled for allegedly causing trouble in Kwame Nkrumah University of Technology in Kumasi. I also went on air to defend the allegations against them on discovering that the problem was largely that of LIFESTYLE. You cannot admit rich kids and collect their dollars and expect them not to live like superstars. You just need to monitor them and have good rapport with their parents or guardians.
A company in Tema once accused Nigeria of ruining their business, which led to their laying off about 200 workers, because President Obasanjo banned their goods. Many people therefore campaigned vigorously that Ghana should retaliate by banning Nigerian goods. I went on air to argue that Obasanjo did not target Ghanaian goods in particular, but those counterfeit goods that are smuggled into our country through our neighbours. It was also argued that if the Ghanaian had a good market in Nigeria, he should have considered establishing a base in Nigeria like we did in his country.


The most dangerous development is the manner the Ghana Investment Promotion Council is going around terrorising some Nigerian companies on the flimsy excuse that they were not duly registered with them. Under the law a wholly-owned foreign company must show evidence of a transfer of $50,000 into a cedi account in Ghana. There are companies that have transferred much more and were still marked for closure by GIPC under very suspect and confusing terminologies and legalese.
Those who should know the politics of it are telling us that the countdown to a clampdown on the “invaders” has started.

A Nigerian company whose $50,000 worth of goods arrived from South Africa since February at Tema Port is yet to get it cleared as a result of a cobweb of technicalities. There are many good Nigerians working in Ghana, just as there are many wonderful Ghanaians doing business in Nigeria. A lot of our people have also intermarried. The Nigerian government has shown great faith in the people and government of Ghana, which made it possible for a major street in Accra to be named after President Olusegun Obasanjo. President John Agyekum Kufuor is very popular in Nigeria, especially after his thoughtful comments on the third term saga in Nigeria. He has a wealth of friends in Nigeria, and his government has been able to attract the largest investments and tourists ever from Nigeria. He needs to work hard at stopping some conservative people who are hell-bent on destroying his commendable relationship with Nigeria. A major media campaign for true love and the establishment of a helpline for African investors, especially the big players from Nigeria, would boost his towering stature and the Ghanaian economy. The investments being sought in Europe, America and Asia are waiting for Ghana, barely 45 minutes flight away. Chief Ojo Madueke, our Minister of Foreign Affairs should also seek urgent audience with his Ghanaian counterpart as well as our High Commission in Ghana before the situation degenerates any further. A stitch in time saves nine!!!

hopefully innoson motors will be taken seriously by real NIGERIANS, his efforts are really commendable, irregardless of what some unenlightened NLers think

This is really amazing

Pafuri and Gbawe both have logical arguments, and both positions hold true, after a fashion.

The truth is, the chap has to choose which option suits him better. Either stay in Nigeria (and know that he will get less than zero support from the government or people), or move to Ghana and risk riding the current wave of anti-Nigerian sentiment.

Maybe he should look for a neutral country to settle in, in Africa. I would do just that.

djcombo:

I only wish it were that simple, given Nigerians and their insatiable appetite for anything foreign. Nothing short of an outright ban on imported vehicles (or at least some categories of vehicle) will support this kind of business.

This story is wow!
Instead of our national assembly to sit down and sort out ways to improve what this guy has done they are busy fighting for pocket money. Bunch of idiots
Innson, you make me proud to be a Nigerian. May God Almighty be with you.

the guy is trying to create attention, in term of market,human resources e.t.c Ghana is not there comparable to Nigeria, i think this innoson is still considering his plans.javascript:void(0);javascript:void(0);

Ghana ke, Ghana ni, see fellow comrades, Ghanaians are filled with nothing more than already fertilized envy and pure jealousy about Nigeria. I thing i know for sure is that Ghanaians can never out beat Nigerians.  Whether or not critics like it, Nigeria is growing and we are still the giants of Africa. So arise O Compatriots let us cheer our county. Long live Innoson Nigeria. Long live the FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.

Omo men, Gbawe u get mouth DIE! U have just prooved to me dat i was not mistakin wen i said "GBAWE FOR PRESIDENT!" No doubt, u have really studied d ghanians lyk "MC Millian Text book." I dey enjoy u jare. jeun lo!

Is anyone here wondering the same as me?


If Ghana is such a great place and fantastic to do business, why is it that there have to come to "lowly and backward" Nigeria to woo entrepreneurs? Where are there own Innisons? Why is the environment not producing entrepreneurs of this scale, surely a country that has such a friendly business environment and peaceful government should see these types of Ghanaians thriving.

Why did they have to get on a plane to come to Nigeria to visit such a factory and try to convince him to create one in Ghana? The fact that it there seems not to be a Ghanaian equivalent says alot to me.

Ghana is nothin, dey'r justin makin unneccessary noise all b'cos of d stable electricity n nothin else!

@ Ajanlekoko: objectivity, finally.
@jude330: Thank you.

Some of us would rather run to Ghana to make money, forgetting that Ghanaians are not unaware of what our leaders are doing to us. So, when the likes of businessman Gbawe, (great investor in Ghana's economy, and a man who has an axe to grind), gets to Accra with his arrogant strut and the people of that country show displeasure, he cries discrimination. The people of Ghana are not like Nigerians. I bet you guys also 'spray' money when you hold parties in Ghana, so culturally-insensitive are you! Tell me how long the Lebanese, Syrians, Morrocans, Greeks, Italians, French , and now Chinese have been ripping off the nigerian economy. Nigeria does not even know how many citizens of those countries live within her territory. Now that we have an African country that is trying to do things like we don't, we complain. Does Nigeria have the right to dictate Ghana's policy? Does Ghana have to be as carefree as Nigeria is? I leave the response to you.

By the way, why don't these Nigerian businessmen invest in Nigeria? Why create jobs in Ghana and not in Nigeria? And if Ghana says 'no, thank you' to Nigerians' benevolence, is there a law that they have to accept such benevolence? I do not know what line of business Gbawe is in to, and I wish him luck; however, he cannot deny the fact that some Nigerians have, through their illicit activities, damaged Nigeria's reputation to the point where Nigerians risk being killed in almost all parts of West Africa. So, Nigeria helped those countries when Nigeria had the means? Good, that shows you that money cant buy respect. Nigerians should get over their arrogance, invest in their own country and stop blaming Ghana for everything that seems wrong in Nigeria.

Frankly, I agree 100% with everything you said.

That is why I will do everything in my power to keep Innoson in Eastern Nigeria.

I'm drafting a letter to Governor Peter Obi today, and when I get home I will head to Innoson's to meet the man himself.
Please notice that I said[b] Eastern Nigeria[/b], no where else.

Ironically, I met a rather influential Nigerian in Dubai earlier in the year, who told me he was there earlier with Obi. Obi was so impressed that he told the man that 'as soon as he gets the next Anambra allocation, he was going to come and invest in some properties'.

When you don't know me and you confidently make statements as seen above , it is obvious that , as an irredeemable self-hater , all Nigerians are guilty as charged of one thing or another. It is easier for you to believe they must "have an axe" to grind than to understand that some folks abhor prejudice and discrimination.  Discrimination , according to folks like you, is righteous punishment when it is Nigerians involved .

The people of Ghana are not like Nigerians. I bet you guys also 'spray' money when you hold parties in Ghana, so culturally-insensitive are you!

Another classic example of self-hatred from someone with very little world exposure or real intelligence. I am not a fan of money spraying but I would not want to stop anyone from doing it if they deem it a part of their culture because I would be guilty of intolerance and dictatorial ignorance that does not allow me to see that the World works best when we all subscribe to the notion of "live and let live". If Nigerians "hold their own parties" what manner of self-hatred makes you blind to the consideration that they should be able do as they please in those Parties ? Because they are in Ghana they should shun all things dear to them , even in their own enviroment , so as to show "cultural sensitivity" ? Na wa for you OOO . When civilised Countries are practicing "live and let live" you want us to go back to the stone age? Please Visit London ( especially areas like Peckham) or Houston USA and Maryland USA. You will hopefully learn from those visits.

Tell me how long the Lebanese, Syrians, Morrocans, Greeks, Italians, French , and now Chinese have been ripping off the nigerian economy. Nigeria does not even know how many citizens of those countries live within her territory. Now that we have an African country that is trying to do things like we don't, we complain. Does Nigeria have the right to dictate Ghana's policy? Does Ghana have to be as carefree as Nigeria is? I leave the response to you.

You just only show your lack of knowledge , self-hatred and bias with every utterance. You would minimally have a point if the Ghanaians had not chosen to target Nigerians alone unfairly . Despite even hearing from Nigerians with no "axe to grind"  , rather than comment on unfair discrimination clearly targeted against one group of people alone, you continue to argue obdurately as perfect proof that you are too far gone in self-hatred . I would prefer that Nigeria is "carefree" in atitude than for us to ever adopt the type of xenophobia and deciet that threatens the interests of individuals because of where they are from. That is a concept I don't expect you to understand since , basically, you stubbornly fail to acknowledge that discrimination and prejudice should never be condoned. You are very ignorant of events on the ground if you think that the Lebanese ,Chinese et al are not ripping of Ghana far more than they are exploiting Nigeria. Ghana now distinctly has a Lebanese/foreign spine indicative of colonial mentality that makes Africans see anyone with fair skin as superior while they demonise themselves. If Ghana is trying fairly to minimise foreign influence I would understand their effort. Giving a free pass to Lebanese , Chinese, Indians et al to do as they please in Ghana while Nigerians are treated unfairly just shows pathetic colonial mentality.

I do not know what line of business Gbawe is in to, and I wish him luck; however, he cannot deny the fact that some Nigerians have, through their illicit activities, damaged Nigeria's reputation to the point where Nigerians risk being killed in almost all parts of West Africa. .

You are talking like an illiterate person. The bolded part above is never justification for any sensible adult derelicting their human duty by attempting to harm other individuals merely because of their region of origin. I might detest the xenophobia in Ghana but I would never think of harming a Ghanaian or his interest merely because of his nation of origin. I am not a savage and only a self-hater like you would justify savage behaviour. Lets hope you remain in Nigeria or the sanitised diaspora all your life because talking as you do , it would be justified if you find yourself the target of a lynch mob in Togo merely because someone shouted "Nigerian armed robber" in your direction.

So, Nigeria helped those countries when Nigeria had the means? Good, that shows you that money cant buy respect.

Glad to see that as usual , and as per your self-hatred, you can only see events from one perpective . How about the consideration of gratitude ? So , in your warped mind, it is justified for you to work against the interest of the neighbour who helped you out in your time of need only for you to frollick with those (eg the Lebanese) who only see you as fit to clean the toilet in their house?

Nigerians should get over their arrogance, invest in their own country

We see where investing outside its border has got Countries like the UK and the USA . Nothing at all wrong with Nigeria wanting the same model of success . I am now convinced you are a Ghanaian because most Nigerians will not talk as you do. You seem to be telling us that we should kill naturally drive, ambition and expansionist vivacity while the world is becoming more of a global village !! What a dumb thing to say. Ghanaians , when they even ignore opportunities in their own Country, certainly are not example of business dynamism anyone should seek to copy. The Nigerian business outlook ,atitude and expansionist drive is exactly what Africans need to adopt if our continent is not to be entirely dominated by those coming from outside Africa who do not have our interest at heart.

and stop blaming Ghana for everything that seems wrong in Nigeria.

Nobody is doing that but you and that is another hint that you are a Ghanaian. We are merely advising another innovative Nigerian business not to go where its efforts will be frustrated by the deciet and duplicity of those who want to invite them to trade only to then begin frustrating their effort. You are foolishly telling Nigerian businesses to stay in Nigeria yet failing to acknowledge how it is the Ghanaians who have come to beg this guy to come to Ghana .

@ Ranoscky: I hereby name you Chairman of "Gbawe for President 2011".

My friend , Nigeria is better with folks like me in leadership than the likes of yourself. I may be flawed but I will not shrink from defending Nigeria's interest because some prejudiced and insecure folks decide they must discriminate against Nigerians. This would contrast to what you would offer considering how you have nothing positive to say about your nation or people. Nigerians are "arrogant, culturally insensitive" blah,blah, blah yet you are not a self-hater or a decietful Ghanaian  

Ah, Gbawe. 'High profile' Gbawe. Such confusion masquerading as intelligence, nationalism, and even pan-africanism. Where do you find the time to write these rants? 'Gbawe for President'!

My friend deal with what you write that expose you to be no better than an intolerant and  ignorant bigot/racist/xenophobe. Only a Ghanaian , for example, can write as you do because your writing makes it clear you will prefer to make excuses for , rather than unambigously condemn, the unlawful killing of Nigerians abroad. You will reason that "arrogantly" spraying money at their own party should equate a death sentence for Nigerians merely because money spraying is not part of your culture !!!! Whatever happened to understanding that Nigerian money spraying , even if you dissaprove, is no different to Greeks smashing dishware at their parties? Some folks risk death taunting enraged Bulls yet that is somehow more acceptable than Nigerians giving cash gifts to celebrants at[b] Nigerian [/b] Parties ?

I will not even credit you with being "confused" . The ignorant and transparently unintelligent crap you write just mark you out as someone who inherently despise Nigeria and Nigerians.

bloody ghanaian

nonesense people

If most posters on nairaland had bothered to read the reponse of Innoson's chairman to Ghana's offer,you would see that he HAS NO PLANS of relocating to Ghana,rather he intends to consolidate his hold on the Nigerian market while forseeing establishing a subsidiary or branch in Accra in the nearest future, which is OK!
To all you self hating Nigerians who cry 'Government Government' everyday,the truth is that government has no business in business. For the fact that Innoson is existing,here in Nigeria,and believe me, THEY ARE MAKING MONEY ALREADY,shows that Nigeria is still an OK place for enterprise,infact,MORE than OK,save for the electricity situation,which WILL improve.
Some dull Nigerians on this thread who have been quick to blame the Nigerian goverment for their inabilities to have erections at night must start believing in themselves and call a spade a spade. Today, the Nigerian music scene totally dominates Africa's music entertainment industry,in my younger days i never thought i'll see a time when Nigerian music is played WITH pride in all ALL exquisite bars and nite clubs in Nigeria and the African continent. Was the Nigerian goverment responsible for this success? No, it was the rugged nature,versatility,innovation and self confidence of the Nigerian artistes that did the trick,NOT GOVERENMENT FUNDING. Nigeria has TOTALLY chanced South African dominance in atleast 'Music'. This may be a non significant field for many but we need to celebrate our successes,no matter how small it is. This has been what the Ghanians have used in recent years to play a psychological warfare on many low-self esteemed Nigerians. If a rat gives birth in Accra,Ghanians will celebrate it and compare their own rats to the barren rats in Nigeria.And from there,self hating Nigerians pick up the baton and start telling themselves that 'its true ooo,rats in Ghana are more fertile than rats in Nigeria', shame on you guys! Let me assure Nigerians that the touted 24 hours electricity in Ghana IS A LIE. Accra and its environs plus Kumasi are the only areas that have been well connected to their national grid. These areas experience 'light offs' as they call it.
Do Ghanaians hate Nigerians? YES they do. Why? Well you see most Ghanians still cant comprehend where Nigerians get their 'pride' from,they call it arrogance but i call it self confidence. Many Ghanians cant understand why Nigerians who rain curses on Nigerian bad leaders everyday,still wake up the next day,overcoming horrendous difficulties and still remain proud of their NAIJA heritage.
Many Ghanianians believed that Nigerian companies had or are relocating to Ghana everyday but each time they ask themselves, Where are these companies? Unknown to many,the so called influx of Nigerian companies to Ghana are just plain susidiaries, their mother companies remain in Nigeria and all their profits(if any) made in Ghana returns to Nigeria,this is why their President Atta Mills is mad with anything Nigeria.
Ghanians hate Nigerians because their 'Ghanian women', believe it or not ,consider Nigerian men more attractive than Ghanian men. However,Nigerian women many times, are ashamed of being with Ghanian men, well,except for retired Nigerian prostitutes, serious oo!!!

MY SMALL EXPERIENCE:   While vacationing in Ghana,i spent a day or two at a hotel called New coco beach resort at Teshie lungwa. Towards the end of breakfast buffet,the head waiter routinely goes round to each table asking  guests 'if they enjoyed breakfast'. Earlier,while serving myself,i exchanged commentaries with one of their pretty waitresses,she quicky recognised my Nigerian accent and we exchanged pleasantries,the head waiter was right behind her and said nothing. Strangely,i was one of the only three black faces at the buffet that morning,the other two were mullato kenyans. Anyways,as the head waiter commenced his routine, going from table to table asking guests if they enjoyed their meals, when he got to my table our eyes met and he coldly ignored me and moved to the next table. About 10 minutes later,the waitress i met earlier left her food stand walked directly to my table and asked me 'if i enjoyed my meal'. We became good friends for the rest of my stay in Ghana.

I don't particularly support money spraying but it is only an intolerant bigot that would suggest that Nigerians are "culturally insensitive" because they spray money at their own party !!!! Going by such intolerant and patently unintelligent reasoning the British Government should ban Nigerians from wearing lace on the Streets of London !!!

Does it make sense that law abidding Nigerians should 'tip toe' around Ghana so as to be "culturally sensitive" when it is Ghanaians , in recognition of how the world is becoming a global village, who should be working hard at becoming better human beings by progressivley tolerating diversity and embracing the notion of lawful folks , with diverse backgrounds,  co-existing with each other?

The world is a mess because some folks are bent on intolerantly assuming that the way they live is how others must live. Pafuri is a perfect example of such intolerance. You are "unintelligent" (when it is clear that he is the unintelligent poster) if you criticise his overtly ignorant and biased drivel that ignores obvious logic and commonsense.

'High profile, all-knowing Gbawe for President!'
'Ranoscky for Veep'
A great pair.

Nigeria's population: +120 Million (300 Million in 30 years according to UNIDO)
Overpopulated urban centers with no infrastructure aspiring or already calling themselves mega-cities. Lack of infrastructure makes them huge villages.

Likely effect :Spill-over into neighboring countries.
Ghana is the nearest english-speaking country (linguistic affinity).
Go to Ghana for business, settle down, bring wife and children, and with Nigerians proliferating like mice, transplant your problems to Ghana.
Ghana is supposed to sidon look just while the number of Nigerians eventually surpass that of the citizens of Ghana in their very own country.

Did Gbawe even see the problem from this angle?

@ Pafuri: You are a Ghanaian 100%. Please devulge your mind of such fears. The truth is that it is Ghanians who will rush to Nigeria when that time comes. Fortunately,we wont even notice them when they start rushing to naija cos they'll probably have nothing to offer, of course our numerous churches and religious centres will be on hand to offer them some relief and handouts. You wan bet?

@ Publisher : Is this scenario plausible?
