GHKWAME1: haahahaaa! and yet Nigerians say they control Ghana's economy? Thing is nigerians are title lovers, this is a country which prides in slogans(giant of Africa) and nothing to show for it. The fact that a Nigerian company is operating in another territory does not make it the game player in that sector, something many Nigerians who are achievers by association fail to realise.

Glo is not all over Africa

I like how you stylishly chose to point out Glo and not Dangote. I suspect it's because you are well aware, that Dangote does operate all over Africa.........lol

Glo, Dangote or any Nigerian bank, that has ventures in Ghana, does not rely on Ghana. Or are you suggesting that they do?

londoner:

Even if they wont be happy, (because they already invested), the certainly won't cry. They don't make most of their money in Ghana.

You obviously think that these companies rely on the Gh market for the bulk if their profit, they dont.

That was my point.

did u hear the story of nigerians wanting chinese people out of their markets? If yes, whats your opinion about it?

mrham03: did u hear the story of nigerians wanting chinese people out of their markets? If yes, whats your opinion about it?

The Chinese should stay and work alongside Nigerians. Competition is good. There are also Nigerians who are very active in markets in China, as well s other Africans.
In fact Chinese companies should be encouraged to set up factories in Nigeria and exchange expertise with Nigerians.

Chinese employers that mistreat employees should be dealt with though.

GREAT! Then both ghana and nigeria needs to ractify some laws. Dont u think so?

youmour: The only reason Nigerian students storm ghana is because of the ease of admission,whereby u dont write jamb its not because ghana universities teach better or have better infrastructure,scrap jamb n see how many students will rush back to naija

THIS IS THE BEST POST OF THE THREAD. WHY? BECAUSE IT Proffers A SOLUTION. Scrap JAMB, build more Universities - my idea - and you will see Nigerian student rush back to the country.

hmmm! first off, I was replying to your earlier post below, you were the one who threw in the "Glo all over Africa bit", you are guilty of association because you have never refuted baseless boastful fantasies about how Nigerians control the Ghanaian economy. Please Dangote as well as Glo not all over Africa, have you not heard about the formers troubles in Senegal? I know he is yet to establish a plant in Ghana as well as Kenya or Tanzania, but he will never be the game player in these countries because he will not be spoonfed(monopoly) like what pertains in Nigeria.

londoner:

Why would Dangote, Glo or Zenith cry? They just
have ventures/ branches in Ghana. They are all
over Africa and they don't even make most of
their money in Ghana, they make most of it in
Nigeria.

Really?Please cut and paste where I stated that GLO is all over Africa. Thanks in advance.

I see you also on the same page with Ghana's policy, the government wants industries, not hawkers from other countries.

mrham03: GREAT! Then both ghana and nigeria needs to ractify some laws. Dont u think so?

In the long run, but I think at this time, reciprocity is the next move. Ghana does not look as though it wants to rectify laws, they are clear they want to keep certain things, like markets for "Ghanaians only".

If Ghana wants to protect its people, fine, but Nigeria should do the same.

Nigerians are in markets in China, so the Chinese should be in markets in Nigeria.

For the avoidance of doubt.

No, in addition to Chinese people being in markes alongside Nigerians. I clearly stated that.

Why should there not be Chinesemarket sellers in Nigeria? My thoughts on that are not the same as the GH policy, clearly.

The fact that you did not get the answer you were looking for, does not mean you should twist words.

You do understand after nigeria they make most of their money in Ghana. The returns in Ghana is also more than Nigeria becauee of the ease of doing business.

GHKWAME1:
For the avoidance of doubt.

So you only saw Glo, not Dangote and Zenith also?

Between these companies, they cover all over Africa, do they not? Except north Africa.

Your exact words were that they would "cry" if they are told to leave Ghana, they clearly wouldn't.

Ghana is not the beginnng and end for these companies.

Nigerans are in markets in China, so China should be in markets in Nigeria.

okay! But u know that the number of ghanaians in nigerian markets are not many ryt?

JiggamanGh:

Really......care to show me figures?

For example how much of Dangote's billions, does he make from Ghana?

mrham03: okay! But u know that the number of ghanaians in nigerian markets are not many ryt?

I don't know how many, but I'm sure its not the same number. There are not many Chinese, Lebanese or Indian either.

There are other areas, that Nigerians are more visible. Student population, for example.That is why I said earlier, Nigeria needs to look at how they will stem the flow of students going to Ghana to study.

londoner:

Okay maybe u misunderstood me. I said after nigeria, Ghana is the next market where nigerian companies make tge most money and yes the returns in Ghana is higher than nigeria and one of the best in africa.

JiggamanGh:

We are talking about those specific companies. If the main of their profit is not made in Ghana, what will make them "cry" about being told to leave. These companies are ever expanding, so I don't see why anyone would think that.

I think you know, as much as I do, that those companies do not make most of their money from Ghana.

MayorofLagos:

Correction!!!

You ought to know by now that this is a Ibo trademark....even here in Nigeria everyone know this.

Yes o ... Na dem dem , OP oya quickly amend the topic appropriately to read "Igbo traders evicted from Ghana".. My concern is that we are about to witness another round of nyamirin migration into Yoruba land. These Igbos will never go back to their cursed land.

Nigerians are title lovers, once again those two firms do not cover the whole of Africa.

hehehe so u dont ghana to get money from nigerians at all, then when u become nigerian president, ghana is dead oo.

They will be disappointed and it will hurt their pocket because every company wants to expand and add on to their customer which in turn means more profit. Business dont want to loose evena single customer let alone 24 million customers. Ghana is their second biggest market after nigeria. Plus the ease of doing business makes Ghana an attractive destination which ghey dont want to loose.

mrham03: hehehe so u dont ghana to get money from nigerians at all, then when u become nigerian president, ghana is dead oo.

To be honest, there should be reciprocity. If Ghana can say they want Ghana only ventures, I think it is ok for Nigeria to do the same, in areas it feels it too may be losing out. That goes for any country, not specifically Ghana.

If I become Nigerian president, I will focus on Nigeria, I will focus on making Nigeria, such a country that Nigerians don't have to go abroad to study, be it Ghana, US or UK....period.

It is actually the fault of Nigeria, that students are looking to Ghana for schooling. It is as a result of a failing on Nigeria's part, as I see it.

what if there are other important sectors to be addressed, will u still sacrifice them for the educational sector?

Well, they are expanding into other countries in Africa and beyond. We are not just taking about West Africa in the case of Dangote., or even Africa.


I'm not sayng companies want to lose customers, but in the scheme of things the loss of Ghana wil not hurt the Dangote Group to the point of crying. I'm sure Ghana does not want to lose Dangote either.

mrham03: what if there are other important sectors to be addressed, will u still sacrifice them for the educational sector?

What other sectors would have to be sacrificed? The education sector is important to the future of any nation. Of course any society is made up of many sectors, but some actually feed others.

@londoner, Please i am still waiting for you to cut and paste where I stated that Nigerian firms would "cry" if they are told to leave Ghana. Please do the needful if you are unable to do same.

londoner:

so u are very sure that this could be achieved? Nigerian population is high, will u be able to provide quality education for all?

mrham03: so u are very sure that this could be achieved? Nigerian population is high, will u be able to provide quality education for all?

We should start. It is not a lack of schools which caused the trend. Its the constant strikes, poor facilties,lack of investment in good teachers and training, electricity issues and cultures that were allowed to flourish on campuses.

If those are decisively addressed, then that would go a very long way.

I would not be opposed to Ghanaian universities even setting campuses in Nigeria.

mrham03: lol, let him try it and u will see who will loose more. Do u know the number of nigerians doing biz over here? Dangoate, glo, zenith bank. u let him try and see who will cry at last.

@GHKWAME, my initial reply was in fact to mrham, who mentioned Dangote, glo and Zenith bank "crying at last". You posted to me, based on my post to mrham, it seems.

wow, great ideas but these may take more than 5 years to achieve, let say u lose an election and u are out of office. Are u sure other governments will continue your plans?
