Nonsense statistics.
When land borders were open we were not their largest trading partner. Now after una close land borders they become this. Where are they passing? By air?

zoedew:


The point is that trade with Ghana is now better formalised now that smuggling is drastically reduced and they must pass goods through the ports where statistics are easily accessed. It reveals that they have been feeding fat off Nigeria via State tolerated smuggling

CaptainMeks:


Exactly! Formerly the export figures to Ghana stood at about 400 billion or so and now it has more than doubled which shows that data is now more precise and loop holes for smuggling are now plugged. Thus Ghana no longer has anywhere to follow now when it comes to smuggling our goods through the borders now to their country.

We dey see our money now.

Nigeria, not Africa- should be the centre of our foreign policy!

GENEGIRIA:
Your analysis is skewed to achieve a twisted and baseless outcomes. The fact that Nigeria has a population of 200 million and Ghana has a population of 30 million doesn’t necessarily give nigeria any economic advantage. Have you heard of purchasing power? It’s all about purchasing power, the ability to buy. When you have a population of 100 million very poor people, it doesn’t translate to a big market. Now, Ghana with its 30 million population is Nigeria’s biggest export market. But nigeria is not Ghana’s biggest export market. So how dies this balance out?

It means while Nigeria depends on money it makes from selling goods in Ghana, Ghana dies not depend on goods it exports to Nigeria. So who has the advantage here?

CaptainMeks:


You are an ignorant child. Very ignorant and proud of your ignorance too.

Ghanas PER CAPITA is $1,407 even with 28m population
Nigeria PER CAPITA is $2,014 even with 198m population

Ghanas GDP is $42.79 billion
Nigerias GDP is $404.65 billion

On the list of world poorest countries Ghana is 85 positions behind USA
On the list of world poorest countries Nigeria is 26 positions behind USA

Do you not see that your country Ghana is poor and in economic shambles despite its low population?

If you think this is a fabrication, please read and shut up with this your nonsensical Ghana is better than Nigeria nonsense.

And oh this data is 2019 plus it was compiled using data from The International Monetary Fund,The United Nations and The World Bank

You are not ashamed your country is importing so many non oil products from Nigeria??

GENEGIRIA:
Kwasia! My country is buying from your zoo, to help put food in the mouths of many impoverished nigerians I am proud that Ghana is a very important market that is helping to feed your poverty-ravaged people. What is there to be ashamed about? Oponu

GENEGIRIA:
[s]Are you a comedian? You sound like one. You think I give a fvck about the trash you wrote?

The facts are clear. Nigerians are exporting to Ghana, and earning good money. That money helps to feed your people back in your country and ease the hardship and poverty in that country. Is that too hard to understand and appreciate?[/s]

Rgade:

You're not being very realistic here, if proximity and pricing doesn't weigh in Nigerias favor,why is Ghana sticking with that option. If Nigerian companies aren't that competitive why stick with an unsavory and more expensive option.
A good number of exports to Ghana was made up of underwater drilling platforms, I see Ghana is trying to shore up crude production, good.
I wonder which other country with expertise in petroleum where Ghana could get a better deal than in Nigeria.
You're making it sound like economics and trade is some kind of child's play.
Perhaps you could buy those oil rigs from the US,put them on barges and ferry them thousands of kilometers to Ghana,that would definitely be cheaper.

GENEGIRIA:
What do you mean by Ghana depends on Nigeria than nigeria depends on Ghana? Import and export is a free exchange of goods and services. Now let me ask you, if Ghana does not import from Nigeria, can it import from elsewhere? The answer is a resounding yes. Ghana does not need to import anything from Nigeria because it can import those same items from any part of the world. It is as simple as that.

What this tells me is that Ghana's far more important to Nigeria than most Nigerians would want to accept. Trade is what keeps the world economy running. In today’s world. The country importing, has more leverage than the exporting country. Which means Ghana has advantage over Nigeria in their trade relationship. It is as simple as that.

Zooposki:


You guys should be more self reliant, instead of boasting that you import a lot of goods from Nigeria. Sounds retarded. You should take a cue from Nigeria in our goal to be more self reliant and stop imports from other countries.

Every country is striving to reduce importation and increase exportation. Nigeria is on the right path, while Ghana is boasting about importation. Odiegwu. Sense seems far away from you .

BreconHills:


Before we all start waving national flags.

Trade is a symbiotic relationship. Both parties are important. China and the US being a case study. Also a country can import from anywhere else but depending on the products in question it may make more sense importing from a nearby country than one that is days and weeks away.

GENEGIRIA:
Foolish goat. Bla bla bla stvpid nonsense! Nigeria is trying to stop importation? And yet your country is the capital of world poverty? Ghana’s economy is the fastest growing economy in Africa because we take pragmatic policies, not some stvpid myopic economic policies. Our economy is doing great. The Ghanaian economy is booming. We are doing a great job. Who are you to tell Ghanaians how to run an economy when your generator powered economy is struggling to grow at 2%? We are just helping you mudder fuggerz, so just shut up!

Wickedfacts:
For the blockheads saying it's a lie and asking if the goods magically appeared in Nigeria, those goods were obviously shipped into Nigeria by sea.

This means Ghana was a country of origin for several smuggled goods.

Area4Area:
Imagine o, 99.39% of all our exports is by sea but Ghana is insisting on land so that they can smuggle things into Nigeria, why can't they use the seaport?

CaptainMeks:


Sometimes it pays to just shut up if you do not understand or know how things are done or if you lacked previous data to compare with todays data in order to understand the OP.

When a fool does not speak he is thought to be wise. Allow us to assume you to be wise at least

You are not ashamed your country is importing so many non oil products from Nigeria, despite your boasting of 24/7 light. Seems your manufacturing industries are dead. In addition we manufacture a lot of the goods you guys export, hence you guys have nothing to offer us.

Nobody is disputing that fact but we need to fix up the loopholes that these leeching countries are feasting on.

GENEGIRIA:

Countries export and import. Your own statistical office says Nigeria exports more goods to Ghana than perhaps any other country. That makes Ghana a very important country to the nigerian economy. Nigerians export to Ghana, and make money in the process, to support their economy and feed millions of people back in Nigeria. So, Ghana should be seen for what it is, a very important country for nigeria’s economy. Is it too difficult to accept that obvious fact?

Zooposki:


At least you stopped your retardedd boasting. Imagine boasting about importations. Wetin Charlie no go see for border. Helping us? Lolz. Is that why your officials came begging. Lolz once again. You must be retardedd.

Why are Ghanaians buying our products and are we begging them to buy? Poor Ghana that can't try to be self reliant despite their 24/7 electricity.

Begging? Are you okay? Who is begging you nigerians? Ghanaians are not dragging your border with you. Or are they? Just that nigerians shops in Ghana have been closed. That’s all. Keep your border. It’s your border. If you like, close it till thy kingdom come who gives a fvck about your nigerians?
