1. There are similar laws in Nigeria, if you want Ghana to play fair, remove those laws from the Nigerian constitution.

2. You clearly haven't had any business dealings with Chinese. In several areas of the Chinese economy, you can't even set up a company in China without having a Chinese partner.
close this ur mouth many Nigerians own stalls in China and nobody is harassing them , do you think the world ends in ur village

That was a retaliation to a deportation order by Busua earlier in 1969. That was even more painful cos a lot Nigerians owned several properties which were taken over. Get your history right. Ok.

Ghana Must Go, was a popular name given to the migration of illegal Migrants ( mostly Ghanaians) from Nigeria following a Presidential executive order. In 1983, the President of Nigeria, Shehu Shagari issued an executive order

The Alien Compliance Order in Ghana happened in 1969. Ghana Must Go happened in 1983.

Are you telling me it took 14 years for Nigeria to retaliate ?

Then again if it was just retaliation why were other Africans deported too? The order affected 2 million people, 1 million of them were Ghanaians, the remaining being other Africans.

so are they shutting their stores because they do not meet the capital requirement or they did not register?
which one?

Blue3k:
Notice he said it's painful. He didn't claim what they did was illegal or violates ECOWAS protocols. What exactly is the peaceful resolution that he wants. If Traders violated law then Ghana did nothing wrong. Nigeria has similar laws on their books they enforce.

Lol it would be interesting to see if Ghana really want to fold on this issue during an election year. The ruling party would handing easy cannon fooder for their opposition. They would look weak violating their laws to appease foreigners.

Ps: the registration fee for trading company is 31,500 cedis. The capital requirements are a millon dollars. Ignorant people are misinforming the public becsuse they refuse do simple web search.

It's not even up to a year and you forgot the south Africa incident . The only tribe in Nigeria that should say this are Hausa and Fulani.. For your information there is a yorouba speaking community in Ghana and when times comes for exclusion, I don't think they would refer them as yorouba Nigerians or igbo Nigerians
You disgraced this country in South Africa as well. What you talking about? In fact some SA were able to tweet that Ibos are destroying their country. Not all of them know the different Nigerian groups but some have lived here and know, they know who Yoruba is and the know who Hausa is. They also know who Ibo is and what you do. Heck, even far away in Phillipines their police know Ibo.

Case closed... You are not different from your folks.. You will keep on saying igbos are different abroad till another round of Air peace comes in..

I don't care who is involved in whatever crime outside this country but with your kind in power. The shame is on Nigerians not igbos.. Igbos are Nigerians and the president need to adress them as Nigerians to get to the hearth of this issue cos I have not seen any office of igbo presidential affairs worldwide.

But lamentation of igbo do this or that won't save other Nigerians living there... And the shame is on Nigerians including your type.. I did not see where south Africans are accusing igbos instead they said Nigeria..

So tribalism brought us here and since we tag tribe in every issue we would continue living in suffering smiling mode.
Re: FG Reacts To Closure Of Nigerian Traders' Shops In Ghana by benji93: 4:42pm On Aug 18, 2020
A retaliation has no timeline, but as a statement of fact since the government didn't state it as a retaliation perhaps i can't explicitly call it that. Although i would prefer that a wrong done by a brother should be treated delicately. The Alien Compliance included other west Africans as well. it just so happens that the majority of them were Nigerians. I repeat again the painful part was Nigerians owned priced properties including chains of shops and stores at Makola and they lost most of it or got a bad deal in trying to transfer the properties to other people. The same cannot be said for Ghanaians living in Nigeria before "Ghana Must Go". Besides there are a lot of Lebanese businesses in Ghana that are not even worth a quarter of a million, but ofcourse Ghanaians won't bother those people. Besides i got the ladies comment wrong. She was actually referring to "Ghana Must go" as a retaliation agaisnt the compliance order by Busia.

Meanwhile i do have a problem with Nigerians competing with Ghanaians in retails. I would think most of these should be done by Ghanaians. But with respect to retail activities, a lot of Nigerians initially moved cos they got information that they could do so so sbusiness in Ghana cos Ghanaians were not quite involved in it. After a while Ghanaians learn the trade and well "you Anago people should go back to your country now" grin. There are Ghanaians in Nigeria indulged in very small businesses, but no one bothers them. We could go back and forth about the fact that there are a lot more Nigerians in Ghana than there are Ghanaians in Nigeria, but it is what it is.

No doubt Yoruba traders are in Ghana. In fact Yoruba had been trading in Ghana centuries before Ibo knew there was any place called Ghana, and we never had any regrets or sourness on both sides. When you entered Ghana to trade you brought disrepute.


Big Lies...

funny enough many yahoo boys and violent cultists who roam about in countries such as Ghana and benin Republic are Yorubas .....yet u dont see Igbos or other tribes turn it to a banter against them. when in trouble it is the same Nigerian community of mostly Igbos and other tribes that helps out.

For ur info...Ghanaians and Togolese have a special dispeakable name for Yorubas... But u dont see Igbos going about to call out Yorubas..... why bcus we r country men and an insult to one is same to all.

When we closed our borders, Ghanaians where lamenting to the extend some representatives visited our government for discussion. I won't be surprised to hear that with the collaboration of some of our borders and government people, Ghana has been able to lessen the closure impact on thier economy.
This is payback time let's enjoy it or retaliate with our own lawful action just as they are doing.

"Nigeria should severe diplomatic ties with these arrogant n intolerable people".. But what do some of u Nigerians think at all.. U don't supplement the Ghanaian budget in anyway, neither do u supply any essential services to Ghana..If ties are severed today, do u know ur country Nigeria stands to lose bigger than Ghana.. Do a research on the ratio of Nigerians in Ghana to that of Ghanaians in Nigeria, may be u ll reform ur thinking afterwards..Imagine that both country are to repatriate the citizens of the other following severing of ties, who stands to lose??.. A country that is unable to provide a 12hr stable power supply to its citizenry is here claiming a giant.. That ur mindset of superpower or whatever is a Grandious delusion u people need to treat.

No country ejects another because of trade. There is nobody or any country that is anti- commerce. None. When it happens, there usually is an underlying problem leading to eviction. What is the underlying issue?

You are lucky many Yorubas are politically correct. If this was Saudi Arabia Ibo bigots would push this page to 100 by now.

Stop being petty, sentimental n overly temperamental..I never said any Nigerian be repatriated.
On the contrary, ur writeup suggested so by inference; you said the two countries shld severe ties with each other without prior rigorous weighing of the dire consequence it ll av on your country.
I only sought to put the frontal lobe of ur Cerebrum to work, inorder for u to come to terms with the effect of what u seek for.
And the bit about me following Nigerian sites, I'm disappointed such is coming from a Schooled vertebrate like u evidenced by ur writeup to think as such especially bearing in mind that we are in a global village n therefore no news n info is to far from man to reach.
I can say without fear that u equally follow foreign sites that are alien to the Nigerian geography; I ll be very surprise if the opposite is true.
In future, approach issues devoid of unnecessary sentiments. Peace!!

@joeGH, you're just weeping up unnecessary defensive nationalism. What's so special about your Ghana? I What weight does your much -vaunted country pull in the league of nations? You lack the single-minded efficacy to see the dynamics in diplomacy in the interaction of nations. Severing diplomatic and bilateral ties is an option that's open to aggrieved partners within this compass. And since your rat-hole country has attained the acme of insufferable arrogance, it's best we severed this unprofitable relationship.
