We need same law in Nigeria . In fact no foreigner should be employed in Nigeria both in private and public sector until it's proven beyond reasonable doubt that a Nigerian can't do the job . We can't have foreigners having a field day in our country when they have strict laws in place in thier own country

I couldn't have said it any better, left to me, people with mindset like yours belong to aso rock and top foreign relations offices

The problem is not the laws. The problem is that they only enforce them on Nigerians. Other traders from Mali, Ivory Coast, Togo, Benin etc are allowed to trade anyhow they want. Only Nigerians are targeted. There are also laws against illegal mining in Ghana, yet there are thousands of Chinese, Indians and Lebanese mining gold illegally there with impunity. So, Ghana has laws. Just that they only enforce them on Nigerians.

If Nigeria decides to reciprocate this gesture, it wouldn't be nice. Ghana must go era aside, this is a shit-show. Africans and retrogressive actions have become 5&6.

We Nigerian always like to work around any situation we find ourselves.
Nigeria is not good so we go to other man's land to seek survival many a times flouting the rules of engagement of those people were as we are supposed to face our leaders and make sure they do the right things.

You guy better come home and let's channel our energy against those that are making our country not to work.

We must stop this tribalistic mindsets as Nigerians, even if it is only Nigerians that are targeted why cant we be of good example by obeying the law of the land instead of being law breakers.

Because many Nigerians know they can enjoy some peace and quite and discipline in Ghana.

You can die in the streets of Nigeria like a dog because the criminality and kidnapping and kill kill mentality is right there in your face !

I hope the Ghanaians know that a lot of their people work in Nigeria.

In particular, they are many Ghanaian fishermen in the Niger Delta and tradespeople in western Nigeria.

To be honest, Ghana is more organized than Nigerians and it is gradually turning to a place to be in Africa. Talk about education, governance etc they are far above us.

BTW does Ghana produce rice
tribalmall:
Laws can be enforced anyhow those who established it chose to enforce it. If they turn blind eye to Chinese it is not Nigeria's problem, after all Nigeria allows rice from Chinese but you bar land border transactions with Ghana.

So they want to do Nigeria must Go bag

See this one. They were lucky that Nigeria let them carry Ghana must go bags. They deported Nigerians first and when they did, they wouldnt even let Nigerians carry bags; they deprived Nigerians of all that Nigerians worked for an accrued over many years. Make no mistake, Nigeria will unfortunately retaliate for this maltreatment of Nigerians in Ghana today. It’s only a matter of time.

these people are not stupid. globalization is a failed project, that is why China and USA are locking horns everyday.

you must be a net exporter to survive in this global environment. export your culture or export religion, or even terror

see if was the chairwoman of even a local government, my major focus will be exporting to other LGA around us, export skills, movie, education.

that is what makes Lagos special, they export to other state, they world flock to Lagos, Lagos sells her excess to other state, creating jobs

every government wants to do the right thing by protecting her own first, America first abi?

when the UK came to Nigeria, they were exporting to Africa, exporting a religion

but one thing keeps me awake at night, when all countries are selling ( exporting), who will be the consuming nation.

that is why foreign interest will continue to keep Africa down
Which Lagos exports to other states? The world flocks to Lagos courtesy of its former status an the capital of Nigeria coupled with the Federal Government's facilities there that the FG has failed to extend to other regions. Those facilities are essential to trade, and Lagos fights indirectly to stop other regions from having it, because it'll kill its economy once non-indigenes decide to go because of the availability of those facilities in their regions. Tell me what Lagos exports to other states?

The ubiquitous Easterners have dominated their markets over there that gave rise to the hullabaloo. They should learn from the Ibos jare,the secret of their business, not this hate,hate things. Can they fight with the Lebanese or the Chinese like this?

The business drive and expansion tendencies of the igbos make it very difficult for others to tolerate us, in addition to what seems like arrogance, pride, as well as the involvement of some of us in crimes and other sharp practices.

An igbo man goes to a virgin area and rents a shop to do business. When he goes home for Christmas, he is returning with his junior brothers and other relatives who will serve him in the shop with the aim of having their own a few years down the line. In no time also, he will be joined in that location by some of his kinsmen who think he is doing well in the newly found area. 10 years down the line, they have a small community there and a thriving market. And the locals would be like "what where we doing when these guys came and took over this place"? This naturally breeds some form of envy.

You're the dumb person, not Igbos. Tell me if Nigeria (as presently constituted) has not already rubbished itself internationally? You're not smart!

Nigerians always love to ignore it find their way around laws, but when the law catches onto them they begin to cry wolf

Ghana cannot allow Nigerians to turn Accra and other cities to Lagos.

When Mallam Nasir El - Rufai was the FCT Minister, he said he cannot allow people to turn Abuja to Lagos. Obasanjo was the President at that time. Obasanjo said Lagos is a jungle, El - Rufai said he cannot allow them to turn Abuja to jungle.

Ghana is an organized country where decency and decorum are well encouraged. Nigerians have problems in South Africa, Ghana and creating nuisance in Togo. They only agreed they are Nigerians when they have problems.

Judging by what is happening in Lagos, if Lagos were to be an Independent State, about 60% of the people in Lagos would have been sent out. In South Africa, they have become a major problem.

They should learn to live as foreigners in foreign lands.

They invaded Lagos like locusts. Lagos have no choice other than to enact Laws to bring sanity into the City.

500 THOUSAND DOLLARS INVESTMENT WILL GET YOU AMERICA GREEN CARD AKA INVESTMENT VISA

BUT GHANA NA ONE MILLION DOLLARS

These law is a bad law I can’t imagine when do Ghana official currency becomes USD that they are asking for $1 million usd investment capital even the US is only asking for 500,000 usd investment package which is reasonable . Another reason is that the US minimum wage is about $8 per hour and averaging $100 per day While Ghanaian minimum wage is averagely just a peanut of just $2.12 usd per day saying they want a foreign investors of $1 million dollar is a bad policy targeted towards their fellow poor Africans countries that can’t afford that kind of capital for investment .. I think what they would have done is to increase the taxation on foreign operated business and reduce the tax on locally owned business that would have helped their locally owned business to be competitive with foreign owned businesses Than just closing down the foreign owned businesses that is already existing that is what the US did to China and other countries that caused the trade war is a way forward..

You are talking Jargon and nonsense. Lagos had been trade point even before the amalgamation of South and Northern Nigeria. Before the existence of Nigeria as a country, Lagos had been trade centre for people from French speaking area (Benin, Togo, Ivory Coast), we also have countries such as Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Gambia that have trade business in ancient Lagos. If Lagos had been an Independent State, it would have been the third economy in Africa.

When the British made part of Lagos their Colony, they had wanted to take over the entire Lagos Island up to Apapa and environ and convert them to British city in Nigeria but the Lagos High Chiefs resisted them. Lagos potential for development is impeded by the Nigerian State which allows people to invade Lagos like locusts. These people have no regards for Laws of the land. They are only interested in making money out of Lagos. Any attempt by Lagos Government to regulate them is met with cry of victimization and marginalization. This is what the Ghanaian people are trying to prevent.

You're a fallacy trying to pretend to be Igbo. You know who you are.

Igbos come develop a virgin land they bought or leased, compared to Fulani herdsmen raiding you at night. You chose!

See explicit Ghanaian immigration law....

But talking about the Naija immigration law, we are always scared of writing good immigration law...because our government sees Nigeria as subservient to other foreign nationals...


Our immigration act of 2017 is as toothless as mama John local dog in the village...

Even the few enabling laws are not implemented....we can only be harshly on our own citizens and not foreign nationals...

I swear I don't know, but I will try to be creative when exporting, sell services instead of physical goods

what services can Africa sell to a larger audience that's for the most part unconcerned about Africa save her natural resources. Don't forget they wrote the textbooks on modern trade and economy. Have you seen Kofi Annan's son's paper presentation on the need to deepen continental trade between African countries because international trade policies and bias are heavily skewed against the continent?

How does a continent overcome deep rooted biases by simply selling services to people who for the most part don't require it?

I don't see where my statement contradicts anything you have said. Except of course you don't like the fact that i mentioned that some of us are involved in crime. But you know that's the truth. All tribes, races and nations have criminals amongst them including ndigbo, but because people generally envy our progress in business (genuine business), they look for ways to label us as bad, by labeling us all as criminals because of a number of us that aggressively engage in criminal activities. That's whats in SA, and they are trying to use the same narrative in Ghana.
