Amusaopeyemi: (1) Mod plz how does this add to my GP?
(2) I made the front page yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Uchecars: i can send you pics on request top ur email address.

hotwax: Chinese do businesses, invest, establish companies in other part of the world.

They dont sell fairly used cloths (BK), spare part, tires in shops

ngozievergreen: Tell that to the Chinese, japanese,americans travelling to all parts of the world. Is it only Nigerians that migrate? Who told u its dose traders that destroyed Naija, hence they went to Ghana. Are there not ghanians here?
U ppl should tally ur responses to questions well nah.

SELFWORTH: One sided story and yet everyone is mouthing off.

Knowing Nigerians as never abiding by the laws of their own country, I suspect this story.

Can't defend them. If you sorted out your own country, you won't be in Ghana. They mess up Nigeria and then start looking for somewhere to emigrate to but nemesis will always catch up with them.

There is no place like home! In your own country, you will never be considered an illegal immigrant.

rastamouse: I don't know how some people reason here. I smh at some of the comments. I doubt if most of you guys here even read the story well. The guys are claiming that the place was empty when they started selling at the place.

Now tell me...can anyone of you go to the United States and start selling at any place at all because the place is empty?

The way some people reason

Billyonaire: I advise all Nigerians living in Ghana not to be intimidated, if they say Retail business is meant for Ghanians alone, it there fore means you have naturally been promoted to Importer and Wholesaler, find money and start importing, if they raise price of import duty and custom taxes, mark-up the price and sell to their citizens, invade that country and dominate them, take their women, hire their citizens as your gatemen and shoe shiners. This is the Nigerian spirit. Ghana is Nigeria's Colony, for ever and ever. Amen.

andrewza: From the Nigerian newspaper PRIMIUM TIMES:

The condition of Nigerian troops in Mali is quickly sliding from bad to worse as inadequate supply of provision is forcing the contingent to solicit food from locals, PREMIUM TIMES can exclusively report.

According to a reliable defence source who asked not to be named, the Nigerian contingent solicits food and handouts under the guise of "courtesy calls" to community leaders in Mali.

After one of such courtesy calls on Monday, the troops received a handout of a cow and 50 bags of rice from the Prefect of Tuban in Banamba region.

"Our officers and men have resorted to begging locals for cows and rice for survival," said the official.

"This is done by way of courtesy calls. They invite the prefects of the locals to our camp for visits. The prefect of Tuban (Banamba Region) visited today (Feb 11) with a cow and 50 bags of rice."

Last week, PREMIUM TIMES exclusively reported that the initial 162-soldier contingent is suffering severe food shortage and a dip in morale as troops were forced to skip meals.

Our defence insiders said there has been no improvement in the provision of food.

However, the Director for Defence Information, Mohammed Yerima, a Brigadier General in the Army, told our reporter over the telephone that any insinuation of food shortage is not true.

"We have provided the contingent with enough food and fund to last them for the initial three months. Is Nigeria not bigger than that?" he said.

Still in Bamako

Contrary to information from the Ministry of Defence that Nigerian troops are involved in combat and have advanced northward toward the city of Gao, military insiders said the Nigerian contingent is still stationed at the Force Headquarters in Bamako.

We learnt that shortage in armaments has prevented the deployment of soldiers to combat positions. And many soldiers are yet to be paid their monthly sustenance allowance.

Sending troops in piecemeal

As of Monday, there were 210 soldiers in Mali with 70 more billed to join them on Tuesday.

President Goodluck Jonathan promised to deploy 1,200 soldiers as part of Africa-led International Support Mission to Mali (AFISMA) but is having great difficulty meeting up with that number.

Mr. Yerima said the figure we cited is incorrect. But our sources dismissed the denials, saying Mr. Yerima's job is to make the Nigerian military look good.

"We have over 500 troops in Mali and Niamey (Niger Republic)," he said.

Since we are not reporting on Niger, we had expected him to tell us how many soldiers Nigeria has on ground in Mali.

The Boko Haram insurgency, Niger Delta unrest, and the country's commitment to the African Union Mission in Darfur, Sudan, have over-stretched the Nigerian Army, senior military sources said.

Reaction in Africa to the resignation of Pope Benedict is focused, in part, on whether his successor could come from the continent.

Two West African cardinals, Peter Turkson of Ghana and Francis Arinze of Nigeria, are spoken of as among top candidates to replace Benedict as head of the Roman Catholic Church.

Bookmakers in Britain named both men as likely favorites in the upcoming election by the church’s College of Cardinals, along with Marc Ouellet of Canada.

Cardinal Turkson is 64 years old, was born in Ghana, and is former archbishop of Cape Coast, in Ghana’s central region. He is now based at the Vatican, and serves as president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace.

Turkson sparked a controversy at a gathering of bishops last October, when he screened a video called “Muslim Demographics,” which claims Muslims will eventually take over parts of Europe because of immigration and high birth rates.

The church distanced itself from the video, saying it does not express the view of the Vatican.

Cardinal Arinze is 80 years old and hails from southern Nigeria, where he spent 18 years as archbishop in the city of Onitsha.

He is known for engaging in interreligious dialogue, and in 1999 received an award from the International Council of Christians and Jews for “outstanding achievement in inter-faith relations.”

A growing percentage of the Catholic Church’s members come from Africa and South America, and many analysts say cardinals could be ready to select the church’s next leader from one of those continents.

If either Turkson or Arinze were elected, he would become the first non-European leader in more than 1,800 years. VOA
