Ghana should be careful not to lose the great relationship they have with nigeria, and Nigerians should abide by their regulations, after all it's their country, there is nothing we can do about that, just saying cool

Re: Ghanaian Authorities Shut Nigerian Shops, Make Arrests by yeswecan(m): 12:54pm On Sep 14, 2010
Folks need to understand the ECOWAS pact, the decision to shut down Nigeria shops and make arrest is not against the provisions of ECOWAS. The treaty is a free trade agreement which Ghana has not yet violated.  Under ECOWAS exchange of promises, citizens of members states are allowed to trade without barriers- move without permit for 90 days. Hence one can take his goods to Ghana if he has market/suppliers there , this agreement up to this minutes still hold to this minute. It is more like European union when France recently deported Romanians, that act is not against the treaty.

To put simply, the ECOWAS treaty does not permit investors from Nigeria to move into Ghana "be it greenfield or brownfield" without complying with Ghana's term. This is very easy to understand, if you wish to set up in Ghana then you need a permit and be in compliance with Ghana domestic policies. This has no connection with ECOWAS whatsoever.

Re: Ghanaian Authorities Shut Nigerian Shops, Make Arrests by manny4life(m): 1:34pm On Sep 14, 2010
This isn't a matter of working together in peace or not. Imposing a $300k capital is just ridiculous, I mean it's just uncalled for. Ghana is trying to use Nigerians as a means to strengthen their economy and their found Cedi that is gradually sliding. However, they going about it the wrong way. This will invoke Nigerian authorities to pass their own laws in retaliation, further weakening the Bilateral Trade Agreement between Nigeria and Ghana and yall know who suffers it the most. If I were Ghanaian authorities, I wanna increase investment, increase output and strengthen GDP, but they are certainly going about it the wrong way and watch what happens next. After looking at Ghana's economic statistics between 2007/2208/ and 2008, I was shocked. From their debt to GDP per capital, to investment to inflation. Imagine just between 2008 to 2009, Ghana had almost a 17% rise in inflation in the lows of 20s, I was like WOW, I can see how desperate they are looking for investment, but enforcing it doesn't bring it. And YES, on a statistical scale to Nigeria of 6:1, Nigeria was obviously the more better country. Less debt, more investment, increase in real growth, etc.

Re: Ghanaian Authorities Shut Nigerian Shops, Make Arrests by jhendor(m): 2:17pm On Sep 14, 2010
the simple solution is that Nigeria should develop herself and encourage citizens to practise business here.
electricity is a factor
Ghanaians are racist and they should be careful how they act. they claim to be our friend but they are stabbing us.

Re: Ghanaian Authorities Shut Nigerian Shops, Make Arrests by emmaf5542(m): 4:19pm On Sep 14, 2010
People need to realise that there are still some countries in this world where laws are still obeyed.Ghana made a law that requires all foreign nationals to invest $300,000 before starting a business ( ANY BUSINESS)-Then obey it or dont run a business in their country.This is not Nigeria, where you can bribe one Oga with N10,000 and have him bend the law for you.Measure up or get out.
Personally,I know that countries with protectionist laws like this always loose out.But thats not our business, but the business of Ghanaians.America is the largest economy in the world and the richest.Its economy is $14,000,000,000,000 ($14 trillion large).The next country is China $3 trillion large.In America (where I am right now)anyone (foreign or citizen)can start a business with $0 registration.Registring a business is designed to protect you in the case of failure.And it starts at just $25. I have been operating a business here for years and registered with nothing.I only decided to register a business with $25 so as to open a business bank account.Thats why the economy is the world's largest because they encourage businesses.I doubt if the Ghanian economy is worth $2 billion dollars.
But that aside, its their country and they make any laws they want.If you dont like it, then get out.
If they were just arresting Nigerians for nothing-I would be against that.And I was a victim of that in Ghana in 2005 when all the hotels in Accra were raided ( except of course the big hotels) and foreigners especially Nigerians were arrested.It was a harrowing experience and I was in the cell for almost 6 hours.But to their credit, we didnt pay a dime to get out, most of use were released after being interviewed.But could you blame them?In the very hotel I stayed for about 2 months (then like 70 cedis or N1000 a day)-4 Nigerian armed robbers and their girl friends had been staying.They would come back every morning-order beer at the outdoor bar and in loud voices speaking Nigerian languages celebrate their overnight exploits.At that time 70% of all armed robbers were Nigerians and 95% of all 419 fraudsters=-Nigerians.

Its not just our leaders.Its virtually the whole country.People buy JAMB papers for their kids,illegally replace NEPA lines after the NEPA has disconnected them for not paying their bill,bribe a policemman who has stoped them for not having a drivers license.Bribe their way to getting theIR child into the University even when he has failed the entrance exam,drive one way-just name IT.
The only two times we had Presidents (Heads of States) who seemed ready to do business and change the country, we killed one within 6 months and overthrew the other one in 18 months.The most corrupt ones stayed in Government the longest.
Yet you saw and still see people celebrating President Jonathan as the Messaih-not because we can point to any progressive or positive thing we have seen him do in his 11 years in elected office as Deputy Governor,Governor and Vice President and over 25 years as a civil servant-but simply because he is the new President-just the same way we hailed Abacha, Yaradua and Obasanjo when they first came to office.The corrupt Policemen, politicians,port officials,lecturers,civil servants etc are not from Mars-they are Nigerias -born and living amongst us.
Nigeria will certainly change-because we have not always been like this.As recently as 40 years ago,market women could leave their goods unattended on the expressway,use stones to indicate what the price of a tuber of yam was and people would leave the money and just 150 years ago-when the people of Oyo got tired of their King (the Alafin)-they would just send him a white calabash with a kolanut and he would get their message-commit suicide or go into exile.
So Nigerians in Ghana, obey their laws or get out.In the not too distant future-they will see and experince the stupidity of their stone age protectionist laws.

I hope Nigeria can fix her electricity problems so as to create an environment that will be conducive to business. Even if you intend on spending on $0 to start your business, you should be welcome to do so.

Ghana's law shows how imprudent the administration is. So if a foreigner with great ideas, for example Indians who moved to Silicon Valley in the USA, wants to develop a promising business from scratch, that foreigner will be unable to develop his idea into a profitable business, unless of course if he coughs out $300, which is unpractical for a fledgling business. That endangers small businesses.

Of course, you gona ignore it and continue to spout 'whatever' as Gbawe and his cronies do so often. No one is saying Ghana is paradise but at least they don't travel outside and indulge in mass social vices as most 9ja folks do. Indeed, they might be some isolated cases of Ghanaians doing the untowards but not on a massive scale as most 9ja folks do when in someone else's country. . .
