MissMeiya:


You're very uninformed. This "giant of Africa" thing has dulled many Nigerians to reality. Nigeria is a terribly risky place to do business. But the potential gains make the risk worth it.

I hate empty pride. I know what I'm talking about. I am one of those investors you speak so proudly of, albeit a tiny one. Who doesn't want a piece of the pie that is Nigeria? But the risk is very high.

Take a look at how low Nigeria scores on the Global Competitive Index, and how far it dropped from last year. If you saw the African countries that ranked higher in terms of ease of doing business, rule of law, security, and infrastructure, you might check your arrogance a bit.

bakynes:
My friend Nigeria created the Ecowas body. All you other west African countries benefit from us tell me what we benefit from Ghana? I do not hate Ghana but when you hate a country that has always been there for you since time memorial then you leave me no choice than to hate on Ghana as well.

'Ritual killing' rescue in Ghana
Is witchcraft alive in Africa?
There has been widespread shock in Ghana over the death of a 72-year-old woman accused of being a witch.

The woman, who lived in the port city of Tema, near Accra, was allegedly set on fire by a group of five adults, one of whom is believed to be a pastor.

The suspects say her death was an accident, and deny committing any crime.

The BBC's David Amanor in Accra says belief in witches is common among both educated and uneducated Ghanaians.

Three women and two men have been arrested, aged between 37 and 55.

Police say the suspects tortured the woman, Ama Hemmah, until she confessed to being a witch, before dousing her with kerosene and setting her on fire.

She died from her injuries the following day.

According to reports, the suspects say that they poured anointing oil on the woman which caught fire as they were trying to drive out an evil spirit.

Our correspondent says newspaper pictures showing the woman's injuries have caused revulsion in Ghana, and the incident has been condemned by human rights and women's activists.

Our correspondent says there have been other cases of violence against women accused of being witches, and a government-backed commission has urged religious and civil society groups to help tackle the problem.

Hey don't be fast.

Dreyl, iconize I think you guys should lay down your e-weapons. Ghanians must be laughing out loud, looking at us fighting one another, when we should be united.

United we stand, divided we fall.

Photographer Asare Adjei captures the lives of locals in Accra's slum city, where 50m tonnes of e-waste is dumped each year

No one knows when Agbogbloshie began. The slum city in south Ghana didn’t exist when the capital of the Gold Coast was moved from Cape Coast to Accra. It’s likely the settlement started when traders began transforming shop kiosks into makeshift homes, and soon a population of Ghanaians on low incomes established a sprawling the slum, which in known to many by its nickname, Sodom and Gomorrah.


Sodom and Gomorrah has also become known as one of the world's digital dumping grounds, where millions of electronic waste products from the west are legally and illegally processed each year. When old computers first began arriving in west Africa, Ghanaians thought they were sent to help bridge the digital divide, as exporters exploited loopholes by labelling junk computers 'donations'. But slowly tonnes of e-waste piled up on this once green area, and transformed it into a global graveyard for electronic equipment.


Each day, workers clear the area through intense heat radiating from burning computers, iPods, radios and televisions. Acrid, black smoke drifts over the huts of the slum wasteland. The nearby Korle-Bu Riveris now black and thick like used oil, as it carries empty computer cases toward the ocean. Fires blaze and consume the plastic material from cables, plugs and motherboards, leaving only metal behind. This is then collected and sold by the locals.


Approximately 50,000 low-income inhabitants have settled into Sodom and Gomorrah, from across Ghana. Many of the villagers find themselves trapped in the vicious cycle of poverty, where the old and young toil side by side. Many barely make enough money from a day's work to cover a basic meal. Often the choice facing them is between paying for accommodation or food.


Women and children cook circuit boards to salvage the computer chips, which have trace amounts of gold. Motherboards and other circuitry are cooked each day, mostly by the women, who breathe in the poisonous fumes.

Some of the young children burn old foam on top of computers to melt away the plastic, leaving behind scraps of copper and iron that they collect to sell. Some of these children travelled to Accra by themselves, hoping to earn money to help their families in the villages. Many of them are orphans or have been abandoned. Exposure is hazardous to children, as these toxins inhibit the development of the brain, nervous system and reproductive system.


There are no permanent structures in Sodom and Gomorrah, and no planning permission is required to put up temporary structures, often made of wood or paper. In 2013, fire devastated the area and many inhabitants were killed. There are no water or sewerage systems in the area.


The UN estimates that up to 50m tonnes of e-waste is thrown away globally each year. It costs a lot more to properly dispose of an old computer monitor in Germany than it does to send it on a container ship to Ghana. An international treaty called the Basel convention came into effect in 1989, forbidding developed nations from carrying out unauthorised dumping of e-waste in less developed countries. However, each month cargo containers still arrive in Agbogbloshie, often illegally, from countries all over the world.

I spoke to local people in Sodom and Gomorrah about their aspirations. Many of the children dream of becoming footballers, in spite of their ill health. Many of the adults hope to find steady employment in other fields such as taxi driving or cooking.


Of the people I spoke with, virtually all of them dreamed of escaping their surroundings to the western world, settling into life there and one day owning the same computers that they process every day in Sodom and Gomorrah.

SH.IT-Gayna worse than Sodom and Gomorrah

lezz: Ghana isn't even at the level of Gambia. If ghana can save west africa, sudan can save the planet...hehehehehehe.

ugotex85: What does Nigeria stand to gain in this contractual agreement, or are we just Father Christmas?

customized13: we don't rejoice seeing our younger brother (ghana) suffer and die. You keep making ghana look like a sh1t in our sight with each comment you make. We see ghana like one kingdom in the stone age.

iamord:

There is something u need to know.. u have nothing to prove to these cats..cos their perception about ghana has been negative from the onset. Let's develop our country and let the work of our hands speak! We have done it before.. Doing it again is a sure thing

mrham03: like seriously i dont really understand nigeria at all. U have oil, gas. Just building of thermal plants to provide electricity for your citizens too is a problem
