Re: U.S. Imposes Visa Restrictions On Ghana by 9jaRealist: 2:42pm On Feb 02, 2019 |
Swanzi: Did you go out there and count them yourself? The reality is that we do NOT know the numbers because we (shamefully) do not even know how many we are. We also have little or no means of tracking the massive informal economy (and any informal wealth) in Nigeria. So there may well be more poor people than ESTIMATED or less, but the one CERTAINTY that we know for sure is that NOBODY knows the number of poor people in Nigeria because NOBODY counted them or even counted Nigerians for that matter. Sadly, what passes for “education” and/or public commentary in many parts of Africa is to simply cram-and-regurgitate (built upon the worn “repeat after me” chant of most African teachers) the narrative of others.

9jaRealist:first of all Nigeria GDP is 6 times that of Ghana Ghana will forever have a better standard of living for it citizens than Nigeria can ever reach in 50 years But Nigerians will never stop hating on anything Ghanaian when Ghanaians don't even care about their existence you guys are just childish. while we are busy trying to build our citizens up and develop our society to the level of the Asians, you guys are busy doing your comparisons at every turn. Ghana is not the only country in Africa for you guys to compare your country to. we don't want our society to start belittling itself to the level of Nigeria Ghana does not seek brotherhood to a xenophobic society, especially one that it has no culture entanglement with. 2 Likes |

Just30:Well at this point I think I should call it a day. If you believe that Ghana doesn't receive aid from the us, then there's no reason arguing further. What will you say next, Nigeria receives aid from Ghana?? US aids Nigeria, Kenya, SA,, even Israel,.... And then there's Ghana, the West African country apparently too big for aid. |

Just30:Okay now this comment reeks of sentiment. You have lots of companies in Nigeria worth up to a billion dollars, but we don't know about them because you are hiding them because of our xenophobic tendencies?? Tell me this is a joke... First of all Nigeria doesn't have any xenophobic tendencies, there has never been a case when Nigerians just launched attacks on foreigners and foreign investments. It has NEVER happened, so why make things up just to prove your point?? You could atleast cite an instance. If you have ever been in Nigeria, one thing you will notice is that Nigerians are generally rather oblivious to the presence of foreigners in our midst, we don't care. We don't know who they are, we take no notice of them, they just come in and flow with the crowd. More so, when Nigeria has over 200 ethnic groups, you won't even know who is a foreigner or whose Just from a different ethnic group. Were not like Ghanaians, southeees, kenyans and most other Africans that take out time counting the number of foreigners in their country.. Loool And secondly ,,how the heck do you hide a company worth over a billion dollars in a foreign country ?? That's the line I'm hoping is a joke, please tell me it's a joke... Lool Why not tell me the companies you have here?? Just a name and I'll consult a search engine. You even mentioned our oil and gas sector � Which of the sectors players are from Ghana?? Total? Shell? Exxon Mobil? Perhars Agip or chevron. Abi is it our own NNPC?? 2 Likes |

But what is wrong with Nigerians and dick measuring? I just dey shame for my country. Instead of showing solidarity to a neighbor and hear their side of the story, we have swallowed the US part as the truth. What brought Lagos's GDP vs Ghana's GDP into the matter? Must we always tell everyone how big our d*ck is when infact it's nothing? We should all be ashamed of ourselves. 2 Likes |

With USA having a military base in Ghana, I am surprised that could pass such rules on them. So many countries do not observe international agreements. Even USA threatens to break free from agreements. Take the climate stuff with France for example. I think African nations should learn to build their prestige and reserve some honours for their image and for their citizens. Inocent citizens would now be affected by the actions of some leaders who have diplomatic passports. Such a shame. |

chrisagyei: Thanks my bro.... To hell with the US... They need us more than we need them. We can also impose sanctions on them. Who do they think they are. What pains me most are the countries who always claim they are big brother to Ghana. Listen to what they are saying. Big for nothing... I have always known that if Ghana had their kind of wealth and size, no western power can mess up in West Africa. Look at what France is also doing in the sub region.. By now Nigeria that always claim they are the giant should be able to mobilise the whole west Africa or ECOWAS to impose sanctions on France and the US. Remember what Nkrumah did when the world powers tried to dictate the price of his cocoa, he build siloa stocked the cocoa, the whites later came to him to beg for it at a time when it was scarce and he sold it to them at a higher price.They are rather the ones saying stupid things about Ghana.. I have said Ghana will show the way for the black race. It's just a matter of time. When Strife Masiyiwa was in Ghana sometime ago, this was what he said... I Will paraphrase it.... He said Ghana, 60 years ago, you start a revolution that saw the independence of the African continent, now the continent is counting on you to start another revolution that will usher us into development... That is my Ghana for you, small body, big brain , giant ambition and potential. We will pave the way for you Africa just count on us... O Ghana I have always known your potential far out ways all the gold, diamond and oil... Ghana Ghana Ghana oseeeee yieeeee..... 1 Like |

9jaRealist: Look at his mouth... We do not know the numbers ..bla bla bla. But you were able to count the number of Nigerian investments in Ghana, you were able to tell us Lagos GDP is far bigger than that of Kenya and Ghana combined. In fact you were able to comb though the entire Nigeria and told us you couldn't find even one Ghanaian company and investment in Nigeria. Shame on you. Your hatred for Ghana did not make you see that for a country like Nigeria that you said is a giant and that it has a GDP of 400 billion, it's annual budget is just a little above that of Ghana. just 23 billion USD for 200 million people as against 16 billion for a population of 30 million. Now I am not even going to tell you about the hustle Ghanaian businessmen go through to establish branches in Nigeria. talk about the discrimination, the corruption and the under hand dealings and the number of palms that need to be greased. OK just so you know there are Ghanaian companies scattered all over the globe.. we don't brag about it. In oil and gas we have Kampac group and Springfield oil, in IT we have Rlg and Hubtel (formerly smsgh), in real estate we have wonda world estates, in fashion we have Nalem clothing, in airline we have Africa world Airline.. in banking and investment we have Databank, and UT holdings, in beverages we have Kasapreko and many many Ghanaian companies you never knew are doing great in Nigeria and elsewhere even America. The kind of frustrations Ghanaian entrepreneurs go through in Nigeria is not the same thing Nigerian businessmen go through in Ghana. So even if you invest in Ghana is it something you should boast about. There are Ghanaian companies in Kenya , Cote divoire Liberia , South Africa, Singapore , US, Philippines, etc... But you don't hear us boasting as if we are the ones who feed them. Or those Nigerian companies render free service to Ghanaians? you guys are just stupid. And you said you sell gas to Ghana below world price. Who lied to you. Boy get this into your head, Ghana BUYS gas from Nigeria. If you decide not to sell to us fine we can get from somewhere but to say you sell below price to us... OK boy stop deceiving yourself. Also you did not solely fund the the West Africa Gas pipeline... It is a joint venture... Thankbyou 1 Like |

What reason did you give for the deportation.Why do you still ban made in Ghana products from entering your country. You guys are just xenophobic the time has not yet come to exhibit it.

9jaRealist: Well I am sorry bro... I also considered most of your posts on this topic as insults to the good people of Ghana, hence my counter insults. It just gets so disheartening that Nigerians could take to public forums and say all sort of nasty things about a neighbour. While I apologise for my comment, I am glad you couldn't disprove any of what I said. That. There are a number of Ghanaian companies doing well in Nigeria, who wouldn't want to take advantage of a 180 million market. To say Ghanaians do not have the financial muscle to do that is an insult. I have mentioned a number of them. You can check them out yourself. Nigeria did not solely build the West Africa Gas Pipeline and the gas supplied is not free neither is it below world market price. I have read this erroneous statement time and again on this forum. Nigeria just has the majority share, and Ghana has quite a significant share in it as well. In fact the amount of gas from Nigeria is less than what Ghanagas alone produces. What I have realised is that Nigerians do not spare the time to sing into our ears the size of their GDP. They mostly use Lagos ,lol. GDP gives very little picture of the reality on the ground. Angola with a population of 27 million has a GDP of 150 billion dollar, but they are nowhere near Ghana in human development index and yet they have a budget of almost 50 billion dollars. All I am trying to say is both Ghana and Nigeria can build a strong bond and establish a hegemony that will limit French and US influence in the region. Once again I apologise. Peace 2 Likes |
