Because you do anyhow in your country doesn't mean your nonsense will be tolerated in other countries. Obey the law and nobody will disturb you. Pay your taxes and you won't have problems.

I wish I could handle tax collection in nigeria. I swear to God I will make sure Indians , Lebanese, chinese, indians especially pay their taxes up to date. I will strangle them with that payment of taxes because they are experts in tax evasion and some useless nigerians support them.

guess you guys are robots or what

If migration no pay you come back home now.

if all Nigeria living abroad come back home.. U would loose your job. Stop being silly

MrAkata:


Texas is a conservative and laid back . The hustle mentality you see in NY won't get you far in Texas. Locals wont tolerate any perceived disrespect. Texas is gun country so you might end up getting shot and nobody cares. Texas is where you can walk the street with an M16 and police cant stop you. In order to make it in Texas you have to be humble and respectful. The opposite of new York. The hustle mentality won't get you far in Texas

my brother no need for plenty shalaye.... What is your definition of humble and respectful? And note that my analogy was about one from taxas who live in Newyork besides our relatives in taxas are living and no one has harrase them for "walking in a certain way" according to you

You think that will take my trade away from me? ERROR. Think again, people's survival is not only in foreign land. I repeat IF ANOTHER MAN'S LAND NO FAVOUR YOU GO BACK HOME.

Ghanaian government is only being vindictive to Nigerians

Does a Nigerian not understand the definition of humble and respectful ? Maybe that's why trouble seems to follow some people.

You're analogy is backwards because the topic was about Nigerians moving to Ghana.

There's a sentiment that if u can make it in Lagos you can make it anywhere.That isn't necessarily true. Yes that may apply to New York because it's a similar environment. That does not apply to Texas.

A real Texan will never move to New York voluntarily. It's a different culture with different societal norms.

So your analogy is flawed and should be a new Yorker moving to texas

Ghanaians you did the right thing. I beg you all in god's name close up all their shops and lock up your borders...they're wired never to pay tax.

If you have ever been to major markets in Ghana, you will realize that Nigerians traders are mostly from the Southwest, especially from Ogbomosho and Osun axis. Please think before you write.

Oga you made a statement which led to this... My analogy seem flawed to you because you simply can't recall the statement you made earlier........ only petty person would describe others as being proud because of how how they walk and talk. You expect them to respect you just because they are non indegenes. Out there in cities, everyone is equal, stop expecting adults to worship you because you re an indegenes and if they don't you call them proud, arrogant.... Wake up sir, it ll never happen

We'll just have to agree to disagree. It's a waste of time trying to have certain nuanced discussion with certain people. With wisdom comes understanding. I wish you nothing but gods blessings. Maybe god someday will open your mind and heart to understand

Government need to tell them to provide the same $1million dollars before they can sale even nasco biscuit.

why should any sane nigerian go to ghana to sell nasco biscuit? abeg you people should stop disgracing us..... Supply Nasco biscuits there and allow the natives sell in retail........not all country export their jobs by allowing foreigners take over businesses that should be meant for their citizens alone.....

temptnow:
Nigerian government dey fck up, that's why I'm missing Obasanjo right now. In international relations retaliation is allowed.

There's a Ghanaian man on my street that owns a restaurant, his Ghanaian wife owns a provision store 2 street away from us here in Lagos.

Government need to tell them to provide the same $1million dollars before they can sale even nasco biscuit.

But unfortunately we have the dumbest government. But until we citizens descend on these Ghanaians ourselves.


If UK, Europe, Canada and USA should put this kind of Ghana law into work that anyone who wants to do retail business must pay $1million dollars before they can open, do you think even Ghanaians or any other countries can travel to someone else ground?

Migration is allowed since the Bible times. There are Americans and Europeans doing businesses here. Selling phones, laptops, restaurants and even supermarkets. They are here not because their government or country is bad. They're here cos migration is what people do. Ghanaians are in other people's countries what are they doing to pay rent and feed, I will like to know

Some people above wants to paint tribes on the situation, let's just imagine western countries put these kind of law in their countries. Pay $1million nonrefundable fee before you can start a barbing salon to survive there. Just imagine your relatives that will be affected

You have a point there.

temptnow:
oga , everyone knows Black South Africans are not naturally enterprising like the white South Africans who owns those stores and companies you mentioned.

My aunty owns a provision store in London. Nigerians own lots of shops in Peckham . Go there you will think it's a Nigerian market

Ask your Aunty again what it costs to open even a small business in the UK? Specifically ask about compliances. And that you know someone as a Yoruba person in the UK doesn't mean he's a Nigerian there. To open ordinary Mamaput in the UK you will nearly submit your neck to compliance inspectors, at time 1 year restaurant never open. See in Canada to get what we call an investor visa you are required to invest minimum of $500,000 in their economy? Google it. If you allow foreigners come to run the jobs your own citizens can do then what will your own citizens do

Lagos is completely sitting City it is one of the most disorganised in Africa it is so disorganized

smileyoo:
but why must Ghanaians be demanding such a huge amount of $1 millions from nigerians, before they can be allowed to do business in Ghana ?
are Ghanaians in Nigeria paying such ridiculous amount to do business in Nigeria ?
it's a shame that some nigerians can still support such evil law from Ghana authorities.

I am not Ghanaian but I don't think the rule is only targeted at Nigerians but rather at every foreigner looking to open a retail shop.

The reason for the outrageous sum of $1 million that they are asking for is mainly to discourage foreigners from coming to Ghana to open small retail shops. The Ghanaian government are aware that Nigerians who are into small retail businesses can't afford that kind of money anyway.

To be honest, I don't know why any Nigerian will invest in a country of which you have no permanent residency or citizenship.

You can't just wander into someone's country, rent a shop and start trading. Other African countries are not like Nigeria where anything goes and anyone can come into Nigeria and do what they want.

Before embarking on any business venture in a foreign country, endeavor to check out the rules and regulations that apply to foreigners wishing to open a business in said country. Don't just take matters into your own hands and do as you please because there are heavy repercussions.

What needs to happen now is that Nigerian traders need to inquire from perhaps Ghanaian lawyers conversant with the law regarding this issue on the way forward. Where there is a will, there is a way. Push come to shove, Nigerian traders should just leave their country for them. It's their country, their rules. I mean what can you do as a Nigerian? Especially if you are not a permanent resident or hold their citizenship?

NIGERIANS are the ones targeted.. the Chinese and Lebanese are doing retail trading in the market.. I have pictorial evidence

hurt but true. But i think Chinks've already be targeted as well

Uglyojuku:


Let us have the pictorial evidence because I believe that Chinese, Lebanese etc do not do the 2 by 2 shops that we Nigerians do.Theirs might be super mega stores. Is there any other reason these Ghanaians are doing this?

dude I know what am talking about ..
The Chinese are in Opera square trading as I type this

Oga we already know they are all Igbo traders we can judge for the Ghanaian base on our own view as well.

OlaPhils:
They should just come back home, there are spaces in Ibadan , osun state , osun state where they can establish .
There are lots of Ghanaians whom i use to know living in Ibadan, some taxi driver, some gate men and some sell banku at night, no one trouble or disturb them.

That is why Ghanaian understand the Yorubas better they understand the relationship between us. Why Yorubas don't complain much and make loud noise all over as our brothers does. In case like this, we know what we can do.

. It's unfortunate you are uninformed. Who told you that it's about tax? Registration fee to do petty trading in shop is 350,000 dollars. The GIPC permit for foreigners is 1million dollars. Those are the two sums they are being told to pay. Not Cedi but US dollars. They want to stop foreigners (Nigerians) from doing small scale business in Ghana and instead of telling them to go, they came up with those sums. They want to drive them away to pave way for their Nationals to do business without competition from Nigerians. Hatred for Igbos will never allow you petty humans to seek knowledge. Always commenting from a heart filled with hatred, bile and bitterness.

Olalan:
There are always two sides of a story.....can our Nigerian brothers show us evidence of documents that back up their claims to be law abiding. It's plainly stupid to support them if they didn't do due diligence

I don’t know why you people plainly are tribalistic, I saw it on AIT last week where the Nigerian guy pasted all necessary documents inside his shop for all to see, but the Ghanaian authorities who came weren’t interested in looking at it, even after the guy persuaded them to.
His tax was upto date, his papers were complete but the weren’t interested
They only thing they wanted was to lock his shop for not being able to pay the $1m the Ghana government imposed on foreign retailers.

SkyOne11:

Go to Opera square.. there's a lane where they sells fake Chinese slippers, you'll see about 4 shops operated by the Chinese..
Meanwhile the hateful Ghanaians asked NIGERIANS to leave Opera square for them.
In fact, they fought NIGERIANS and lock their shops over there
