A word of advice to these charlie kids...

YOU CAN'T NEVER MEET UP WITH NIGERIA, IN ALL YOU TRY, IN ALL YOU DO, UNLESS OF COURSE YOU ANNEX TOGO, BENIN,

BUT THAT WOULD SPELL YOUR VERY DEATH .

Freiburger:
And you think you 're helping the thread with this.

i really dnt want to engage in any arguement with a ghanaian or ghanaians. To me its fruitless. Telling me ghana is better than nigeria shows what you are really up to. You want me to start digging up facts and reasons why nigeria is better than ghana so that we can engage in an endless arguement. I really dnt think any ghanaian worth that kinda conversation. Engaging in such arguement will only make you feel important and gets you all the attentions you wanted all along. Try the next guy cos this one aint available.

Next time stop displaying your inferiority complex. Nobody asks for your irrelevant opinion that makes nigerians look like id.iots

One thing i know for sure. Ghana can/will never be up to nigeria standard in the next 1 million years and that is the harsh truth

cramjones: It is very funny people are rejoicing that Nigeria is promoted as a good country for outsourcing. Do you know what they are indirectly saying? It means Nigerians can be easily exploited...it means the vast unemployment creates the right environment for foreign countries to hire very qualified graduates for peanut wages to increase their profitability. This is no good news! Rather the good news should be millions of successful start ups are springing up, jobs are being created by Nigerians for Nigerians. There is nothing to be happy about in this news! To me being a great destination for outsourcing simply corroborates the ratings of Nigeria being a FAILED STATE! This is my submission!

playmode: Provide 24 hours electricity and ADSL internet and i assure that me and my network of 400 Nigerians as well as 189 South African businessmen will relocate to Nigeria.Our business revolves around fast internet,the current GSM internet won't do not to mention having to run generators.It is just not cost effective for me and my friends to run our business in Nigeria under the current circumstances.

Outsourcing doesn't require perfect English but definitely decent English, which most Nigerian graduates do not posess. Neither do South Africans, and especially Kenyans. Educated Ghanaians, on the whole, speak better English than educated Nigerians. I have been educated only in Ghana and found that I am on a different level in basic language skills as well as technical skills compared to my counterparts educated in Nigeria. The Nigerian education system is in shambles. Foreign-educated Nigerians wouldn't want to work for peanuts in outsourcing.

But before that, unreliable power supply and endemic corruption makes Nigeria one of the least attractive places for business outsourcing. I'm not trying to put Nigeria down, only to bring some reality into this conversation.

And yes, Ghana is better than Nigeria. In almost every way: infrastructure, political stability, leadership, rule of law, social harmony, education, health care, environment.

gerald09: Nigeria is a beautiful place to make money with so many thing yet to be developed n exploited, most Nigerians are lookin for just 2 thing
1. Working for the government
2. Working for an oil company

The laziness of our youth these days is epic. Yes the government have failed us, insulted us and degraded us, but the problem is that these government are made up of the same Nigerians, the civil servants are made up of Nigerians. when I say laziness I don't mean only for working I mean laziness in all forms, from using initiative in creating to their readiness to change.
Most of the so called educated youths still believe in d primitive ways of making money in Nigeria n refuse to use d basic common sense God has already bestowed on them. Nigerians in Nigeria spent 80% of their time in church praying for success to dem and their family and use the rest thinking of how to spend that success, and they do absolutely nuffin to see that dat success comes to past.
They all say they want Nigeria to change but honestly how many Nigerians are really ready for change, if Nigeria shuld change a lot will be affected
1. Constant light which in turn will reduce the amount of witches they see cos of constant darkness.
2. Looting will stop or be greatly reduced which I don't fink Nigerians are ready for yet
3. Police No go collect bribe again which will affect Nigerians who are use to giving these bribes
4. The rule of law will be followed perfectly which in turn will affect 80% of government worker who only stay @ their jobs for 3hrs n d rest claiming to be busy either having sex or being in church praying for his/her millions coming.
Just last week my brothers n I tot of a great way to advertise in Nigeria, it cost less than 20k to start up nw our business has grown by 40%. Its all about common sense. The Nigerian youth now expect the government to always explain why A is for Apple, half of them are busy fighting an already lost battle (religion and tribalism) let me tell u a secret to have a successful business anywhere in d world especially Nigeria u will have to understand that your employees are ur biggest clients catch dem while they young for small jobs u can employ university student and teach dem how to fink. No country started like the garden of Eden, most went through worst than Ѿε̲̣̣̣̥ are n dey came out on top. Look @ d entertainment industry, 20yrs ago will Ѿε̲̣̣̣̥ have eva believed that is will go these far but it did, in Nigeria, so why do they fink nuffin can work.

ghananotnaija:

I'm Ghanaian, but I work in Nigeria.

Nairaland isn't just for Nigerians; there are loads of Ghanaians, people from Rep of Benin, Togolese, Cameroonians, and South Africans here too.

Also, I want Nigerians to be aware how much they are behind their neighbours, especially Ghana, so they would being complacent and demand change.

collynzo2:
You can't even spell 'possess' correctly, where is your proof that educated Ghanaians speak better English than their Nigerian counterparts? Who are you to advice us, what do we have to learn from Ghana? You said Nigerian environment is not conducive for foreign investment, what investments do they have in Ghana as compared to Nigeria? How exactly is Ghana better than Nigeria in healthcare and all the other sectors you mentioned?

gerald09:
Dude y are u letting these people get to u of course u can't compare Nigeria to ghana its like comparing US to UK its laughable.

I think you lack[b]s[/b] fundamental of a common sense, the issues aren't perfect English but the right business platform. Don't be too myopic to realize that Malaysians, Chinese, Indians, Philippians etc do not speak[b]s[/b] perfect English yet they are leading in outsourcing (services) and China in manufacturing. With all your English and grammars how much are you earning annually? You see that is lack of good business structure.

Without good business structure no matter your level of education, you will amount to nothing. We all need a platform to function and put our creativity to use. The leading guys in IT are not Americans and struggle with the language as well but they all agreed that the language isn't the issue but a platform to get investors and expertise to help perfect their ideas.

I think your problem is Nigeria bad reputation and not what we can do or not but some people learn by doing and some learn from experience. Lets have similar opportunities like average Americans and you would be surprise what Africans can do. With the right platform both Ghana and Nigeria can rule the world in outsourcing but first we need government support to convinced investors, PayPal etc that we have the market.
