Ok, Nigeria is our saviour. Ghana is nothing without your investments. Are you happy now? or did I forget to add "giant of Africa" somewhere?

One last thing. While you're all busy running to Ghana to save our economy, can you just please fix your roads first? IDIOTS!

Gbawe:



you're angry? Please keep belittling the laudable strides Nigerians are making in your country while you are happy to play onlooker. Also , rather than getting involved in shaping the business climate of your nation, continue to let apathy and lack of ambition force you to remain on the sideline while the Nigerian and Lebanese business communities grow bolder because of your disinterest in the opportunities around you. Abeg please continue to let hate dictate what your tongue says to the extent you call a successful international franchise a "Chicken outlets" , because it is owned by a Nigerian, instead of learning from its success.

Don't stop telling the World , even if you know in your heart it is not true, that majority of the Nigeria businesses in Ghana are fronts for drug dealers. Please never tackle the type of hate that pushes you to making outlandish and ridiculous pronouncement that defy logic such as a statement made by another Ghanaian on this forum that "3 out of every 5 armed robbers in Ghana is Nigerian"!!!!!!!

Hate prevents you from being effective and productive. Succesful Ghanaians like Alhaji Asuma Banda (Antrak air) are always the Ghanaians who eschew hate and are savvy, exposed , amiable and liberal. The haters sit on website calling citizens of a nation armed robbers, 419ners , etc , etc , etc.

Arabs didn't start coming into African until about 700 AD, during which they spread Islam
Before their arrival, the people there were Black. Just like the indigenous Europeans were white, Americans were red, and Asians were yellow, the (North) Africans were BLACK! Arabs spread their religion slowly south (by the sword of course) into Africa and other regions of the world for several centuries until European colonialism. Its only after the withdrawal of the European colonial forces did the Arabs see their opportunity to expand through AFrica once again.

moosieh:

There are countless forums where leaders of nations such as Libya (Quaddafi) Sudan (Hassan), Egypt (Nasser), Morocco, Chad, Niger, Algeria, etc have emphatically stated that their nation and entire socio-economic and geo-political existence is Arabic, their tongue, their culture, their religion, etc. For all the Black Muslims out there, they don't consider you a good Muslim unless you speak Arabic. Thier intention is to turn Africa into a Muslim-practicing and Arabic-speaking continent.

In the last 15 centuries, Arab invaders have grabbed 1/3 of the African continent, and systematically enslaved, exterminated or arabised the Blacks they met there.

hahahahaha

OMG, wtf?

What has this thread turned into? i was suprised to see this thread was still active until i opened it and saw Gbawe. lol. my suspicions were soon confirmed.

I don't even want to waste time addressing the points that have been raised because ALL of them have been raised before on other threads and i have comprehensively rebutted ALL of them in the past. Ask Gbawe, he has been on all of those threads. suprise suprise. Seriously dude, you are suffering from a complex.

Tell me Gbawe, what at all did they do to you while you were in Ghana? cus this chip on your shoulder is too bleeping large. Your hatred for all things Ghana is turning into dementia. What is hilarious though is that you castigate me for being, in your words, hyprocritical. But you don't have the presence of mind to admit that you yourself hate Ghana just for the sake of it. Preferring rather to attribute your nonsensical contributions on this thread to my first contribution? are you bleeping kidding me?
Take a good look at yourself before you call anybody bigoted why dont you.

I see you are doing your best to sound thoughful and balanced. But alas, most of us can see through your careful attempts at a balanced contributions. You failed.

You, and your ilk on this thread, are just jealous to the bone of Ghana. Simple as. Try as you might to try to fabricate some other reason for your effussions, the truth is pretty obvious

Martass:

Gbawe,

I hope you read the response and the simple reason I gave to your notion that Nigerians come to Ghana and outperform Ghanaians. Go back and read. Nigerians are not and cannot be better than Ghanaians by any stretch of the imagination. But by then I am not surprised at your claim because it’s not out of character.

I come to this site occasionally (When I think there is an issue Nigerians would start blowing steam about Ghana) and sometimes I read some funny and ridiculous claims by Nigerians which makes me wonder whether those people understand what they write at all. Unfortunately you’ve also joined these ridiculous circus-claims by Nigerians, I’m not surprised.

Nigerians, in general, suffer from what's known as delusion of grandeur.

delusion of gran•deur (grănˈjər, -jo͝orˌ)
noun:  A delusion in which one believes oneself possessed of great importance, power, wealth, intellect, or ability.

Yes and so what’s your business.  Ghanaians suffer from inferior complex and Uncle Tom Syndrome. You do not find us Nigerians going over to your boards to bother you about it, do you?

Ghanaians are always going around wringing their fingers, bowing, and scraping and wanting us to join them in licking boots.  I mean the entire world is full of black people doing just that. If behaving inferior gains you wealth and respect then the majority of the black world must be doing well thank-you-very-much in which case they don need Nigerians to join them.



But then again you can’t trust the sneaky, backstabbing, hypocritical Ghanaians, the other day I saw one of their videos on Youtube and they were boasting “Ghanaians have got swagger!” trying to copy us.

Anyway, I would urge fellow Nigerians to bear in mind that all of this provocations is attention-seeking Ghanaians. They are  here trying to generate a long thread so they can fool themselves and others that we are interested in them and what they do and then broadcast it on their famous world famouse radio station.

I don't do jealousy mate . Even if I did , I would not be jealous of someone who does not have what I want. You forget that , after all is said and done , we all still have to bear our father's name as individuals !!! Only losers and fools will harp on about the achievements of their government alone while they , as individuals , still remain woefully far less talented than others as demonstrated vividly by how Nigerians are coming to your country and greatly outshining you on your own turf . Address that fact before you tell more lies !!!!

Nigerians have left their own border to do progressive endeavours in your own country that you guys cannot contemplate yet you contend I am jealous of you? What sound intelligence and logic you are working with!!!! I would posit that any logical person would conclude that it is the other way round and that it is you and many other insecure Ghanaian men who are jealous of Nigerians at an individual level !! This is why you never stop atempting to discredit them !!!!

I asked all you Ghanaian members of Nairaland to name one Private sector activity Ghanaians do better than Nigerians yet no takers !!! Meanwhile I can name ten thing Nigerians do better than Ghanaians !!!! Still contend that Nigerians are jealous of you? Only a bad belle Nigerian will fail to praise Ghana for it improving democracy but most Nigerians , aside from investing in Ghana, are too happy with their natural endoment to be jealous of those who achieve far less than they do on a personal level.

Anyway , by your own admission , we know you have been away from Ghana for a while (typical of the stay-abroad-let-others-control-my-wealth attitude of some Ghanaians) and we also know that you 'fabricate' to decieve so one can hardly expect any objectivity from you. You dont realise how illogical some of your rants are . Does it make sense for Americans , who give the world a large part of its culture through the sheer dominance of their progressiveness, to be "jealous" of Norwegians because Norway has less crime, less corruption, better democracy and better infrastructure? Sure some Americans will move to Norway to enjoy less crime, less coruption, etc but that cannot indicate to a normal person , who is unbiased and thinking correctly ,that Americans are jealous of Norwegians!!!!

Gbawe is definitely full of himself. Now he resorts to dressmaker catalogs as proof of Nigerian business acumen. I really don't know his scientific methodology (i.e how many shops he visited), but I have several women in my family who are seamstresses and NONE of them carry catalogs with Nigerian dress models. Ivory Coast? yes, because we are immediate neighbors and local clothing fashion diffuses readily. Eastern Ivory Coast is pretty much Ghana.

Accra — An Accra Fast Track High court yesterday sentenced Kwabena Amaning a.k.a Tagor and Alhaji Issah Abass to 30years imprisonment. They are each slapped with a sentence of 15years in prison with hard labour to run concurrently from the time of their arrest. The court handed down the sentence after one year of trial.

Abass, 54 and Tagor, 34 were arrested with several others for their involvement in the missing 76 parcels of cocaine on board the vessel MV Benjamin. Their arrest came after a secret tape recording exposed a meeting they held at the residence of the now interdicted Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Kofi Boakye. After the Presiding judge, Justice Victor Jones Dotse handed down the sentence; the court room became a scene of mourning as relatives and sympathizers of the two, mostly women wept uncontrollably.

How can we so soon forget the disgraceful arrest and conviction of one of our own parliamentarians - Eric Amoateng of NPP - in New York for trafficking in illicit drugs? Amoateng's spectacular arrest defines, in a murky sense, the profundity of drug trafficking in the country and the danger it poses to our democracy. If Eric Amoateng, a drug baron, could get himself elected into our legislative body on the ticket of the ruling party, can we imagine the depth of influence of drug money in other essential institutions of state?

The non-prosecution of the drug case involving the arrest in February 2002 of Abena Oforiwaa, Comfort Akua Amankwah and Amma Nyarkoah, chairperson, organizer and treasurer, respectively, of the Dzorwulu branch of his New Patriotic Party. Why should this scandalous case simply vanish from the judicial radar? Looked at from another angle, can any commonsensical Ghanaian induce the world whether Eric Amoateng would have been investigated and prosecuted had he been arrested in Ghana? We don’t want to believe that the administration of criminal justice has been turned into a partisan political weapon where one is either prosecuted or not depending on his connection to the citadel of power. Standing up for justice does mean setting your political friends free for the most serious of crimes while pursuing your perceived or real political enemies! It is really chilling that a whole ex-attorney general and ex-foreign minister and one who is now aspiring to be our president could do not prosecute such a case nor is he prepared or willing to offer any public explanation for his conduct in this matter. Can we trust such an individual with such splendid state power as reposed in the Presidency? Unless of course, there was nothing to the arrest of those three NPP ladies!

ii. Why was the prosecution of Frank Benneh stopped while Nana Akuffo Addo was our Attorney General - a criminal prosecution mounted by the NDC government as a result of his alleged involvement in dealing in illegal drugs while serving the nation abroad?

iii. Were the narcotics-tainted assets of his brother-in-law, Mr Raymond Amankwah, - the same Raymond Amankwah now incarcerated abroad for allegedly dealing in illicit drugs - actually deconfiscated while Nana Akuffo Addo was our attorney general?

Shesi, come on. Nigerian banks in Ghana 60% Ghanaian OWNED!!!

Please, they have to employ a certain percentage  Ghanaian staff, that is the regulation. Next you will be telling me that Barclays in Ghana is 60% Ghanaian owned too.

And you say Nigerians suffer from delusions of granduer. Talk about trying to get second hand glory, lol
When the assertion is that the banks are Nigerian, then you try to make it seem as if its significant. Now when you tell fibs about them being 60% Ghanaian owned, you use it to puff up your chest, lol

There are stipulations for majority foreign owned banks, but it means they must have a minimium equity of  60 million Ghana Cedis, how does that translate into being 60% Ghanaian owned, please tell me?

People who will say Glo is nothing, yet they dont even have their own equivelant in Ghana which is 100% Ghanaian owned? Lol.
If you are going to say something is insignificant at least have something better.


For the last time, can one of you provide the figures for FDI Ghana recieves from Nigeria ?
