This is a welcome development coming from Ghana,knowing the number of foreigners living in your country and also making your country habitable for it's citizens and foreigners by good government policies.



I doubt if Nigeria do,because the guys who repair my shoes are not even Nigerians,but they move freely.they are neither documented nor neither do they have passports.

smh...

For you to even harbour in your thought as evidenced in your post the possibility that Nigeria has any functioning and efficient scheme of documenting resident foreign nationals in the country is laughable.
You seem not to know the extent to which we are enmeshed in mediocrity.

MTN, sorry Nigerians

lol

nonsense

I'm telling u my brother can u imagine

seangy4konji:
Fake news..Nigerians living in Ghana go pass 500 k..

based on what stat?
living in ghana is more expensive than nigeria.

most nigerians living in ghana are mostly students and they are definitely not that many.

nigerians just like cooking up useless numbers to make themselves look like nomads.

most nigerians travel to europe and north america while few (especially easterners) travel to some useless countries like cambodia etc that are not in anyway better than nigeria.

Wao ! So it almost like that of South Africa whose Govt reported that only 34,000 Nigerians are documented there.
My friend in J,burg informed that there must be at least 350,000 Nigerians living in Southy.
Na war o.

God will surely give us good leaders one day.

458 South Africans? So they also travel to other people's country. Time for Africa as a whole to ostracize those dimwits.
Don't even know wat AU stands for

Except we wan lie.... Nigeria can't account for the numbers of her very own citizens living there in ...not to talk of foreigners....

And we call ourselves giant of Africa but no sense and brain to walk the talk...

bro..you should know I was just exergerating with the numbers.not many me. Would leave Nigeria and be living in ghana execpt young students and a few business men and you g yahoo boyz who have friends there.they would rather go to Asia countries.bit 1 thousand is just low for numbers.Nigerians in ordinary Gambia are over 30 thousand..Banjul so expect Ghana to be Higher.

solmusdesigns:

You just took that words from my mouth,imaging every country esp.Africa making it as if Nigerians residing their countries constituted half of their population.

To my own perspective, apart from few bad eggs tarnishing our image, jealous of hardworking Nigerians in their country was another reasons.

some of you just pick numbers from your butthole

why not 10million nigerians? so we will know nigerians are half the population of ghana.



whats the population of ghana self that nigerians will be 2million.

ghana with estimated 25million.
that means there is 1 Nigerian out of 10-12 people in ghana.


even usa and uk that have a lot of nigerians cant boast of having 1million nigerians in each country.
this one is talking about 2million in ghana

They clearly did not count the ones hiding aka illegals. They are talking of those legals who have proper documentation.

masa I didn't say that why don't you argue with the facts I stated and counter it with another fact. And if you care to know there are over 20 Nigerian transportation companies that plies it's road to Ghana everyday each.The two million figure is even understated and the population of Ghana is 30 million not 25 million.

im suppose to counter the number you pulled from your butthole?
why not bring your fact first lets if any well known organization backed it.



lemme let you in on how to cook believable stat without sounding dumb.

each family in nigeria has atleast one person in uk or usa. but the populations of nigerians in uk and usa are not up to 3million. what does that tell you?

now tell me, how many nigerian family has someone in freaking ghana?

i can bodly say the population of nigerians in ghana are not up to 20k and most of them are either students or entrepreneur.

ghana is serving its purpose to nigeria just like the rest of smaller west african countries.

nigerians who couldnt get admission in nigeria go to ghana
nigerians who want to buy cheaper stuff but donot want to go through nigerian port go to benin or togo.

etc.

And yet the banku-eating morons go about making noise about Nigerians when the Chinese are already colonizing them in their own land . Foolish ugly looking dwarfs

Very funny, 1,617!! Naija wey go reach like 500k. We no dey do register things na!

Everything in Nigeria constitutional enactment is a joke !!!

Since 2006 that the last census was done How many are Nigerians now since then...!

If you can't know the population census of your citizens, how can you account for other foreigners living freely in the country

Marineghost:
Nigerians dey travel sha
Kilode

If there's a Country in a hole in the ground, you'll find at least, a Nigerian there.

DonBenny77:
Lol that number no reach Nigerians wey dey just sikkim manipal university Accra alone. Lol

Over a million illegal migrants

The figure you pulled from your ass abi. Do you know how many Ghanaians live in Nigeria?

I dare you guys to start what you cannot finish again. The retaliation this time around will be nastier than before. I just hope you don't cry like babies just like you did in the 80's. We are watching you people.

Continue una Nyanga, but when Trouble hit back don't go crying to UN.

Rubbish data, the Togolese won't even bother to register, its like asking Benin republic people or nigeriens to register here..they will just blend join the natives.

This figure can't be true. With the way Nigerians are trooping into Ghana, I don't think they are less than a 100,000 living in Ghana. The figures given are the ones documented. There are many more who are living in Ghana that do not have documents.

wow,,are you that gullible or stupid. Nigerian students schooling in Ghana alone is over 70,000 and you are telling me less that 20,000 Nigerians are in Ghana .You don't deserve my time boy.I give you reference and you say am pulling stuffs. At least am giving you data by your own so called communities and leaders and your stupid criminal zzz is telling me Americans.How many Nigerians are given US visas in a year which is not even up to 5,000 and you're telling me trash.Nigerians in South Africa is even 400,000 where they pay thousands of dollars for visas and air rickets how much more just a mere bus ticket gets you to such a progressive,peaceful, economic giant and 24 hours electricity country like Ghana. At least 20p million Nigerians have been in Ghana for at least once.Your miscreants travel to Ghana even without a passport and commit crimes everywhere and you are saying trash.And some stupid people like you liked this self deceiving trash you spewed.This year alone Ghana has deported over 700 Nigerians. The Nigerian prostitutes in Ghana alone is over 100,000 go figure.
