Stupid talk and do you think the LNG is for free.And we produce our own crude and buy proper refined crude from Europe not Nigeria who can't even refine a quarter of their oil.Why do you think you're the only one who sells LNG.You rather loose if we decide not to buy your LNG and by God's grace we now produce our own LNG now so we don't buy yours again.Listen,our energy sector is far stable and better than yours with blackouts everyday in your country. We enjoy 24/7 electricity throughout the year in Ghana which is a dream in Nigeria

psychologygh:
Ghana already have our market who buys our exports and we never depend on any African country to buy our products cos you guys can't even afford it and you can't use these materials to generate finished goods cos you don't even have the factories and investors who will buy these products. We export goods worth over 17 billion dollars and our buyers are all outside Africa. Nigeria only buys just 80 million dollars of our products which represents less than 0.5% of our exports.

Are you talking about gas supplied to Ghana that Ghana couldn't pay?!

When Nigeria threatened to cut off gas supply to Ghana, do you know how Ghana fell on its knee begging like Almajiri country!!

Ghana is a bloody debtor country!!

psychologygh:
hahaha,Ghana owes you nothing and even that 160 million dollars is peanuts for Ghana to even owe. Say the Volta River Authority which is an autonomous body that use that gas to generate just a minimum part of electricity to sell to the people of Ghana and don't say Ghana owe you.And that debt is even not true.We are a nation of over 65 billion dollars GDP and our internal debts alone is over 15 billion dollars so 160 million dollars is nothing to us.Even one millionaire in Ghana can pay off that money.Accept that we are better than your zoo and move on.

We began deporting Nigerians in the 60s and we have resumed in 2019.You millions of Nigerians living in Ghana will cry xenophobia again when it happens. USA,China whatever choose Ghana over Nigeria just as Toyota and other companies that relocated from Nigeria to Ghana choose Ghana over Nigeria because we have better energy,very peaceful country, less crime,better tax incentives, better port and habours systems and second largest economy in West Africa and so when they produce their items here,they export it to West Africa in the name of ECOWAS. Why do you think they're building the Africa Free Trade Agreement Headquarters in Accra,Ghana. We beat you widely in the World bank Ease of doing business countries. Any sane business man will choose Ghana over Nigeria.

chrisagyei:
She is a diplomat,she hardly issue warning, it's GUTA who petitioned her and warned her of retaliation if the issues is not resolved cos when they started their aluta which is in the Ghanaian constitution legally that no foreigner is suppose to start any business in Ghana except when you have a capital of 1 million dollars, it was this same government who calmed them down because you people were like close friends of ours and so they are not even calling for you people to open your borders.They are now justifying why they did and should do what they did nationwide and retaliate by closing the Ghanaian borders because you have shown bad faith.That's why your ambassador is reasoning with the minister's call to forward it because it can be ugly.She doesn't want to retaliate quickly but wants to know if our trucks should return back so the trade war begins.

Why call me mallam? I am neither hausa nor Muslim. Must u be tribalistic Use ur head, no Nigerian biz requires a foreign market. We are over 200million. We can never flinch!

grandstar:


You guys have it wrong

If Nigeria should continue like this, a country like Ghana with good fundamentals will simply switch production towards other markets. Nigeria is only the biggest market in Africa but not in the world.Smart countries simply diversify the countries they export to. A volatile country like Nigeria becomes a pariah.

There are at least 10 US states with economies bigger than Nigeria. Nigeria in reality is small.fry in the league of countries. Nigeria is doing itself a disservice by closing it's borders.

chrisagyei:
****did you hear her.Nigerian goods are entering into Ghana freely buh you refuse these trucks who had already set off entry so they want to even return back.And GUTA was told to open Nigerian shops and stop the protest because you Nigerians run to these same ECOWAS to cry free trade agreement. Over 400 Nigerian shops were locked in just one town in another city called Kumasi alone which was just a spare parts dealership town.Imagine the millions of Nigerians who will go hungry in Ghana had GUTA locked up your shops and closed Nigerian retail businesses throughout Ghana. They just sounded a warning to the minister to inform you that if Ghana retaliates, it will be very ugly so stop saying trash.

Nigerians youths are just lazy and illetrates... There's not much hope for the future of this country...

It's clearly stated that Nigeria goods are entering ghana without issues and reverse is the case in Nigeria... All of a sudden people are wanking and masturbating over how great Nigeria is.... Perhaps it's the traffic quality of nairaland?

Anyways most nairalanders don't even know the location of seme border, and lack exposure hence the low iq comments

Kennyswagz1:
Bro you don reach here

psychologygh:
are you alright. Check the amount of exports Ghana exports to Nigeria compared to what Nigeria exports to Ghana. Ghana doesn't need any ECOWAS and if there's a trade war,Nigeria loses 159 million dollars whilst Ghana loses just 80 million dollars. Ghana exports over 17 billion dollars of goods just in 2018 and Nigeria is not even among top 10 export countries of Ghana even in Africa.All our products are exported outside Africa.Its the millions of Nigerians and their businesses in Ghana who loses not Ghana so think well before trying anything foolish with us.We never rely on your zoo.We're not Benin Republic. It's just that those trucks had already set off so they don't know if they should return back. If they do and we start retaliating, hope you don't cry xenophobia again.

Mariangeles:

Has the closure of borders affected you ?

psychologygh:
What is happening is the border closure came without any announcements so the already left trucks had to be prevented from entering. That is why the minister is telling the ambassador to inform your officials to allow those trucks already there to enter because currently, Nigerian trucks keep entering into Ghana without any stoppage.If you have issues with Benin, don't involve Ghana. Your ambassador has understood it that Ghana is not the target so he will inform the authorities to allow those trucks to enter.And we don't depend on any Nigerian market cos we already have international buyers and Nigeria cannot afford to even buy our exports worth over 17 billion dollars yearly. Our partners are in Asia,Europe and the USA.South Africa is the only African nation who buys our goods of about 12%.Nigeria and Ghana have no trade relationships except the 80 million dollars Ghana exports to Nigeria and 159 million dollars Nigeria exports to Ghana which Nigeria will loose more if both countries close their borders.Now Ghana has not retaliates yet.

pharmagba:

I saw the stats and references you quoted
All the things that Ghana export to Nigeria that made them have superior trade trade to Nigeria are not things that cant be produced in Nigeria and most of them are pleasure goods examples Alomo bitter, Madam Aseta bitters etc
The only people the border closure will benefit in long term is Nigeria.
The rise of North Korea came about when they made the decision, " WHAT WE CANNOT PRODUCE IN OUR COUNTRY, WE DONT NEED IT"
If Nigeria can toe thing line we will start producing our own 'Alomo bitter', 'Aseta bitters"

Greenbirth:
babe I am in ghana. Nigerians are not finding it easy there. Everything is blame on nigerians. I real want every west African countries to close there border. If there is no business in ghana no nigerian will be there. Imagine the ghana film industry. If you are a Nigerian and you want to go for audition. Even in audition room you will hear the Ghanaians telling you to go back to your country. Meanwhile many Ghanaian hammer in Nigeria till today.

Trade war with who? Ghana? Ehm! With all due respect, Ghana will be crushed. If you draw a parallel between retail shops run by Nigerians in Ghana to Ghana''s total export to Nigeria, then you should get back to basic economy.

Lots of goods by foreign and local manufacturers are produced in Ghana with Nigeria''s huge consumer market as the target. Nigerian retail shops in Ghana isn't even up to 10% of the import that made in Ghana products account for in Nigeria.

As for our export to Ghana, apart from petrochemical products, which you need as vital oxygen for your economy, I don't see how Ghana can fight back with her very lean economic muscle without resulting to serious self harm.

Go look for your ilks in the likes of Benin, Ivory Coast, Togo and Senegal. That we are 2 of only 4 or 5 anglophone West Africa countries doesn't mean we're comparable.

Our shared lingua franca should never be misconstrued or form any basis for the pretext economic rivalry.

common shut that your lying mouth let Ghana do their worst, Nigeria border will remain closed, Ghana contribute nothing to Nigeria development they should close their useless border or better yet, they should banned Nigerians from selling goods in thier country. The fact remains Ghana is useless to Nigeria. Buhari should lock Nigerian border till the World ends.

[s]This is basically thrash. Don't you think so?......

Ghana being an industrial hub for market consume across west africa speaks volume for itself . Ghana buisness can easily target elsewhere if Nigeria really kick start this trade war? before Nigeria independence, Ghana was a memeber of the big boys ( non alinged nation) Ghana was so rich enough to build her volta electric dam, the largest manmade dam in the world. Ghana already operated a working oil refinery before it detected its own oil( refining Nigeria oil in the past)You should note that working economy is not always about size but effective fundamentals.

if you study west africa buisness very well as you claim to think, Nigeria small scale buisness is the most hardest hit. Nigerians are the one plying Ghana route for buisness transaction, Nigerians are the one establishing new transport hub in Ghana day by day, loosing banking licence just because they can't meet the recent adjusted recapitalization. Ghanaian buisness in Nigeria are very strategized. they are into oil drilling and E pharmacy and recently in ICT. Ghana is the new secretariat of Africa continental free trade, that is a leadership role . Ghana will not fight back but rather acted as a diplomat. be expecting Ghana to play more as negotiator rather than a warrior now even if the issue is not related to Ghana directly.

Ghana dependence on Nigeria petrochemical is almost not existing now. the country already have its own infrastructure ( atuabo gas pipeline) if you may know, the country supply above two hundered thousand oil barrels a day and with plan to double production to 5 hundered thousand for a country less than 29 million .

Apart from having the same lingua franca , Ghana was a remarkable force in Nigeria education and democracy progress. it is history now but the record is there.


Anyway the picture below here is the Ghana gas office officially launched this year. it will be the hub where Ghana gas will be deplored . A new plan is on the way to supply petrochemical to cote devoire ......[/s].
