Lagos market is smaller than the market in Tema alone

I now see how dumb you are!
Lagos is the fifth largest economy in Africa behind Nigeria herself, South Africa, Egypt. Withal Ghana?

Jaqenhghar:

They dont know. There is no evidence that the border closure sef has ruined the economy of other states. You are right . That's why the country is where it is

Sincerely, Nigerians deserve the type of leaders we get. Look at majority of the people who quoted me. How can someone claim that because we closed border in west Africa, we are now giant of Africa because three useless countries like Ghana Benin and Togo are crying. We should rate our selves when countries like South Africa, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Kenya, Bostwana, Rwanda, shake when we cough. Sincerely, IQ level in Nigeria is low. West Africa is a useless region where illegal border trading is very high. A decent region doesn't need to rely on illegal border trading to survive.

The closure forced them to increase the pump price of PMS recently. The thing is hitting them hard

you are funny

Ghana increased it pump price because of a new government tax that seeks to pay for free education.

Now get sense
Crude oil is not imported by road

This is funny

when every household in Ghana uses LPG for all their domestic use and uses their on toilet even villages have toilets in their houses.

the fact that i can use just 100 cedis to buy the entire Abuja should tell you how worthless your country is
come here with 2000 naira and see if you wont starve to death [/qu

I am a Nigerian bro. The countries u mentioned are weak countries. When ur activities begin to hit hard on South Africa, Egypt, Rwanda, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Kenya, Bowstwana, then u can begin to talk like this.

Afamed:

They have been benefiting a lot from our pourous borders.
The Fuel in Nigeria is one of the cheapest in the Africa because of the Government subsidy. Through the border here, they get the fuel into their country at a very low price of which Nigeria government bears the cost of the subsidy at expense of our Budget here

This is absolutely untrue! Smuggled Nigeria Fuel is not sold in Ghana

On which news? Yeah right! Just as they have northern borders surrounded with soldiers as done all over Yorubaland.

Afamed:

But Katsina/ Niger border too is closed now? Abi you didn't see that on news too?

Just30:
anyway the price of cement is between 25- 30 cedis
no one can sell above that

The economy of Ghana does not rely on petty traders from Nigeria
That is why we can close those petty traders shops with our economy not even blinking an eye.

We closed 20 banks, 350 microfinance institutions and over 200 finance houses

our economic growth did not even blink to slow down
that is how resilient our economy is.

. Guy calm down, what you know or seeing is those business you petty is the mover of economy, stop them your end users collapsed there by messing with your economy, those Ghanaian or indigenous producers and importers relay on this guy's, more over there certain businesses Nigeria are doing that no Ghanaian can succeed in doing, it just like killing the fly on your scrotom, for Nigeria they have nothing to lose, no Nigerian product is sold anywhere

obidark:


did you even bothered to read the date of that news....??

wtf is wrong with you....??

Zombie that screenshot is not about the killings Akwa Ibom.

I'm showing you it has nothing to do with closing/opening of our Border.
The Fulani Politicians back the jihadists, so don't try to bring Fulani Bandits here and try to make it looks like it's border issue.

Miyetti-Allah is behind the herdsmen and banditry, not foreigners

aminusodiq:
so if dey have no problem with it as u claimed. why are dey crying? .... our people shld b d one protesting.... not ur GUTA or PUTA ni!!!... by d way wat at u doing on nairaland??... is it a Ghana site too!!!!??

our people are talking because their goods are stacked at the Benin border

Wyttcat:
How is bringing up a legit issue be hypocrisy? Just because they said something on radio and TV doesn't make it true. We all know how the borders in the north look like a village gate, while the Yoruba own is militarized. Of course it won't have anything to do with tribe because that will force you to do something about it it.

From all indications ,you are one of the rice smugglers using Seme border.

Actually some countries have only 2million people, going by this, The population of Nigeria can form two continents. Africa is just 53 countries and it is the continent with most countries.

Tetehjewels:


They did not agree based on your lies. its pure sibling encouragement which we have always given to Ghana. You are surrounded on every side by french speaking countries who detest you to the core because you are more of English speakers same with nigeria. The only big brother you have who truly cares for you in ecowas is Nigeria and this is why we do not want your people to die of hunger which is why we gave you this concession.

Ghanaians prefer Nigerian products any day any time because your products NEVER meet up with international standards yet are expensive. You all want to make wad through ridiculous exploitation of each other as ghanaians.

its funny

Nigeria that has to use Ghana in order to be able to export because Nigerian products never meet international standard is talking to a Ghanaian about standard
this is the funniest thing ive read alll day

Our neighbours do not hate us
they love us because the benefit huge from us

Burkina Faso entire agriculture sector is dependent on consumption from Ghana
Ivory Coast entire soap and pomade making industry is dependent on purchases from Ghana
Togo free port is dependent on transit goods to Ghana and Burkina Faso

I don't care any of that.

The damage this is doing to Yoruba in Benin, Togo and other places is more important.
We are a nation divided and now having a part of us cut out of our market, while total strangers like fulani and igbos have free access to us.

Your economy is tanking charlie. Losing 8 point on your currency value is no joke. Every Ghanaian is crying that they cannot buy much with the cedi anymore. Those banks and financial houses were closed because of the tanking economy. Many Ghanaians do not trust your banks because of the bad cedi value so they rather put their money into land or houses. Your government is deceiving you into thinking you are resilient however if you listen to radio shows daily and hear the 24/7 lamentations by your people on those radio shows you will know that you are simply deceiving yourselves. I dey Ghana charlie and i know

joegab:


We don't care about these trash that even tiny country like Ghana always humiliate our people. By the grace of God we have all it takes to be self sufficient, most importantly we have population ,to hell with Ghana

so be self-sufficient and stop blocking people goods



shouting self-sufficient is not what will make you self sufficient
market forces determine that

Just30:
our people are talking because their goods are stacked at the Benin border

Not their goods but goods imported from other countries via Ghana .Of which they have paid import duty to Ghana Government but want to smuggle such goods to Nigeria

Babaken:
that is what they have to explain to neighboring countries that is meant to punish them and give time and follow the due process as ECOWAS member.

The Ghana minister that came to Abuja this week was brief extensively. They let her understand that Nigeria is not fighting his neighboring countries but need to tame criminals activities.

More so, all these international & regional organizations are toothless bulldogs when the chips are down.

Our porous borders couple with Free trade zone & movement of people within ECOWAS region is what those smugglers capitalised on, so Nigeria as the biggest donor in that organization can not be watching to let one regional policy destroyed its economy.

So, there is nothing ECOWAS can do to Nigeria except sanctions within West Africa & it can't bite Nigeria, those that will suffer such sanctions are the one shouting & begging for Nigeria to please open the border.

An example of big brother is what we are witnessing in U.S Trump does not take nonsense irrespective of any organization they belongs to, once the neighbour constitute nuisance, He take action.

Ghana can go to hell,they are useless they contribute nothing to Nigeria development let them do their worst we don't care.

Ghana developed? I laugh in Fanti

laugh out loud into recession again

your central bank will ban you again from using your bank cards outside of Nigeria

Typical of buhari supporters, supporting buhari without good reason for doing so.
They say "explain", not ask question.

Tetehjewels:


That your broken rice that turns to milk at the end of the day? Your rice is so ridiculously wack that the best rice in ghana is times 4 the cost of rice in Ghana. I spit facts charlie. Your rice is super wack. Cook it for even 10mins and it will turn to paste or milk. The other kind of rice you have needs to be cooked for almost an hour because the more you cook it, the harder it gets and you need to keep adding water to ensure it cooks evenly otherwise some part will be cooked while the other part will be hard.

hehehe

this one does not know how to cook
and he is blaming the rice

Still 50% - 60% of rice eaten in Ghana is locally grown
we dont have to close our border for that to happen.

Local rice is cheaper

We are the Giant of Africa jare

seunmsg:
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?

Wyttcat:

Keep quiet, you are a mole . Every Nigerian is happy with the border closure. If you have geneiune products to import to Nigeria. Do it through the appropriate channels. No to Smuggling

Will you shut your dirty lying mouth. Which every home uses LPG in ghana? Till date charcoal pots are in high demand in Accra and so is charcoal supply. Villages in ghana use pit laterines with so many homes not even having designated pit laterines of their own. They rather build community pit laterines where maybe 100 houses can share.

These homes only have dedicated bath enclosures with no roof but no toilets.

The fact that you cannot use 100 cedis to buy anything in Ghana shows how useless your currency is compared to holding 10k naira in your hand and its spending power in Nigeria.

Go to Nigeria with 100 cedis and see if you will not die of starvation by the time they convert your 100 cedis to Naira

Go work on your self esteem.
You need to travel.
