there is no church activity going on at Accra mall

i was there this morning

Accra mall host events at it forecourt every Saturday and Sunday

There is low economic activities at the mall, the very reason why churches own space at Accra mall. Almost all foreign outlet are folding up at the mall..

Do you think Ghana have your time to be exporting rice to your country. We're having the same issue when government spends more than 1 billion dollars a year to import rice into our country for consumption. Do you realize we are the 2nd largest consumers,market and economy in West Africa and our consumption alone is a huge chunk on our foreign exchange. We have a population of 30 million and a GDP Purchasing power of almost 200 billion dollars. Did you see me telling you Nigeria exports goods worth 306 million dollars to Ghana in 2018 alone.Our exports to Nigeria is just 80 million dollars. Togo exploits us due to their free port just like Benin does to you.We have the same issues.Our exports to Nigeria is mostly Nigerian companies who relocated to Ghana and use the ECOWAS free trade route to export some of their goods to your market. We both loose if we start a trade war buh Nigeria loses badly. That's why your government have agreed with Ghana to open a temporary corridor for Ghanaian trucks to enter and leave Nigeria amidst the border closure .GUTA still refused for that and wants a ban of Nigerian goods and traders in Ghana. Our rice is even very different from yours and you will never find your type of rice in Ghana. Our rice cooks in just 20 minutes.

That's a capital LIE, the only open land border is the North-east border and the reason of leaving the border open is bc of the fight against insurgency.

Your economy is highly dependent on Ghana for purchases
there is an oversupply in all your highest export commodities

if Ghana stop importing crude and gas from your country, your economy will head into recession

This is a great opportunity for us to grow our local productions. For how long should Nigeria be a dumping site? At this 21 century, you have to rely on importation of Rice, Turkey and Pine Apple. How do we develop if we simply can't produce what we want to eat ? How do we reduce unemployment when virtually 100% of our consumptions are imported? My Brother we definitely have to start from somewhere. We have the very reach fertile soil with over 923,990 land mass.

Oga d only reasonable way to achieve this is to create favourable environment for the farmers to strive, when that is done, d produce becomes sufficient, cheaper, affordable and better quality and will monopolize d market.
In this case, we don't have enough rice to feed our nation and border is already closed, d Masses are left to suffer.

Ghana does not have a better infrastructure than Nigeria.
Stop talking nonsense.
They have a small country and it is nothing special.

They don't even a decent rail to cover their small country.

Let's not be sentimental about this...

Ghana has better public institutions be it schools, hospitals, roads, electricity, standard of living etc than Nigeria. Back in the day, Ghanaians used to come to Nigeria in search of a better life and jobs but now we send our children over to Ghana for university education. Why?because their standard is much higher than ours and there are no such things are strike and cultism

I'm Nigerian but it's the truth.

If we tackle corruption our institutions will be better then we can start to fulfil our potential. Just the simple truth.

as everyone knows, Ghana is an expensive place to live
Ghana tax everything that flys or walk .

so if your government is targetting smuggling, it should look within and fix it problems and stop picking a new problem with a country it cant compete with.
you see why you should treat a Ghanaian for what he is - brainless.. now, NIGERIA can't compete with an insignificant country in Anglophone West Africa, not to talk of entire sub region.. please, who in West Africa takes ghana seriously when is comes to conflict resolution or any issue that affect west Africa??

As Nigeria’s land border closure bites West African countries, the Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) has called for a total boycott of all Nigerian products imported by Ghana.
The move, the traders union believes, will force the Nigerian government to open up its land borders for foreign goods. Nigeria partially shut its borders since August.
According to Ghanaweb.com, Greater Accra Regional Secretary of GUTA, David Kwadwo Amoateng on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem, Friday said the Nigerian government has not been fair to foreign traders.
In return, he expects the Ghana government to prevent Nigerian traders from bringing goods into Ghana, but that plea has fallen on deaf ears.
“Either somebody’s bread has been buttered or we are cowards. Government is not being fair to us,” he fumed.
Mr Amoateng cited how Dangote cement had taken over the market while local ones from GHACEM are suffering.
“Let’s boycott Nigerian products as payback to their government’s action. How can we be slaves in our own country?” he said.
Mr Amoateng argued that the issue, if not checked, could hamper the Continental Free Trade Area.
Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has appealed to Ghanaian traders to remain calm as it works with the Nigerian authorities to ease its ban on the exportation of Non-traditional products.

I think you need to be careful when you present some unfounded arguments here. Some of us on this forum grew up in Ghana and studied there, so we know whats up. I was brought up by a Ghanaian mother by the way. Don't come here and lie to us. On the average the cost of living/salaries are relatively higher. In terms of development, there's not much you can point to.

When Ghana locked just 400 Nigerian shops in a town in Kumasi alone,your government and trade unions were organizing protest at the ECOWAS office crying xenophobia and free trade buh you're here shouting Giant of Africa because you have unilaterally closed your borders to starve yourselves to death. GUTA had always hated you since Kwame Nkrumah and you have foolishly gave them a chance to eliminate you from Ghana. For your information millions of Nigerians live in Ghana and do trade of imports and exports. GUTA was the one who locked all your shops in Kumasi. Now tell me,Ghana exports goods worth just 80 million dollars to Nigeria for a country who exports 17 billion dollars worth of goods outside, less than 0.5% goes to Nigeria buh Nigeria exports goods worth 303 million dollars to Ghana in a year.If Ghana bans your goods,tell me who loses more.The minister is just a diplomat who knows how ugly it will be if Ghana retaliates so she's going diplomatic first to tell you to comply ECOWAS protocols .Warning to your country if you refuse her diplomatic settlement. Ghana never needs Nigeria.
Anayeee forget that. Fuvk d millions of shi. Who e don epp since? It is our border and we can do whatsoever we wanted with it. Let them do their worst. If Nigerians there can't cope anymore they should come back and let's build our own country sef together . All die na die
