Drowning horse. If not for corruption in the country, a country like Ghana should come to Nigeria, plate in hand begging for loan to feed its impoverished populace.

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.

The trade unionist are just clowns. Two of their top ministers are in Nigeria begging almost anybody that is ready to listen to them and these union clowns are talking about banning made in Nigeria goods. They better not allow us rescind the decision to create a temporary corridor for Ghanaian goods.

Nigeria has not banned importation of goods from any country, so, why ban our products? When we say Nigeria is the giant of Africa, some of these tiny countries come here to argue with us. We closed our land borders for just some few weeks now and they are all crying. Even Ghana that has no land border with Nigeria is crying. Who is now their Daddy?

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.
.......Your rice cooks for just 20 minutes, and our Nigerian rice cooks for 2 hours Abi? No wahala, we can still do without Ghanian products.... Truly Dangote cement has taken over the Cement market in your country because the quality of limestone in Ghana is poor compared to what we have in Nigeria,and GACEM is nothing to be compared to even BUA cement in Nigeria.GUY NIGERIA NO BE YOUR MATE... Our West African brothers should do the right thing that's all we want......Bring in your goods through the right channels, pay import duties so as we can equally generate revenue for our government.

Ghana is oweing Nigeria seriously on gas and electricity.
If you want a trade war then gas and electricity will be stopped from reaching your country, though you can afford to dam the river or quickly develope your own oil and gas discovered in your country.
All of these will take serious years to achieve and i doubt if Ghana will survive it.
You are lucky you have Nigerians investing in your country and if you want to drive them you can go ahead after all south Africa did worse,
What ever decision Ghana takes life goes on

They can't do that for now may be if the closure reached 4years they can now be thinking of that.
The news is just been sensational! I couldn't find where it was said or agreed that the Nigerian product should be banned, they are only proposing and calling for people sympathy for unsympathetic idea!

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.
Everybody is pointing at Rice and Turkey is that the problem of Nigeria what of other local production.

If you think that the border closure does not impact negatively on Ghana, let it be.

Nigeria for one day will not come to beg food or money from Ghana.

Please stop coming to a Nigerian forum with a bowl of Ghanian tears.

Let me explain the bolded ,
Nigeria already lost badly when these unpatriotic companies relocated to Ghana and made Nigerians jobless.
They can relocate back or find another market for their products.
Nigeria has the population and petro dollars to dictate to any company and country that is hell bent on destroying Nigeria.
If you must know this is the first time in a very long while that Nigerians have come together in support of any government action irrespective of religion, tribe or political party.
When the companies that sells gas and electricity to you guys in Ghana should relocate to Ghana then we will take you guys seriois

What is Ghana's population and volume of Nigerian trade entering Ghana. Ghana as it were is an equivalent of Lagos State economy and population. Can't you understand we didn't send those Nigerian opening shops in Ghana any business?
Perhaps you need some level of education on the working of international trade? I am not a supporter of the ruling party in Nigeria but this is the first decision that abluathe government will take that am supporting 200%. You may not realise how damaging it is for companies with operation base in Nigeria closing it down only to be producing in Ghana to feed Nigerian market. I heard you saying I don't care? O yes, I shouldn't expect you to care, but turn the table the other way round and let us see how the intolerant Ghana will react? The lesson is clear, don't expect the unemployed Nigerian to buy the products of companies closing down in Nigeria to produce in Ghana.
It maybe hard, but Nigerian are ready to endure it to stpt the ridicule from Ghana and other West African countries benefiting from our pains and still disrespecting us. Economic war is not the best but when it becomes imperative, you face it.

Who really put a curse on this once great and royal Yoruba nation? A fooolish people who can't stand for anything will fall for everything.
