Excellent response by the FG. I suggest Nigeria temporarily withdraws from ECOWAS, just to get the rest of West Africa to sit straight.

Nigeria contributes nearly 80% of all ECOWAS funds and those funds help with so many things, from regional security to emergency food and health supplies.

The Nigerian GDP is 75% of West Africa's GDP. West Africa has 14 nations that basically depend on Nigeria for their survival.

Nigeria should LEAVE ECOWAS for them, and ask Nigerian businesses in Ghana to return home.

3 of the top 5 banks in Ghana are Nigerian banks. Order them to withdraw immediately from Ghana, let us see how the Ghana economy can withstand that shock to their system. That move alone will plunge their economy into recession in a matter of days.

Also, 70,000 Nigerian students are in Ghanaian universities, and they are made to pay in dollars there. This brings in billions of dollars to Ghanaian coffers each year. Nigeria should declare that it will not recognise degrees from Ghanaian universities henceforth, and end that phenomenon.

Let us see how long before Ghana gets their head straight after these measures.

If they continue their madness, the FG should consider sponsoring rebel movements in northern Ghana and neighbouring Burkina Faso to infiltrate and destabilize that country, and effect regime change in favour of a more pro-Nigeria administration.

Do you know that Ghana hasn't got a single fighter jet?

Not one. I've done the research. Their military is ranked 28th in Africa, while Nigeria is 3rd or 4th. Even Burkina Faso is ranked above them militarily.

They are very weak and vulnerable to military/terrorist/rebel attacks and incursions, and have spent very little on their military, because their government has taken it for granted that Nigerian forces will defend them like we did in Liberia, Sierra leone, Gambia etc, in the event of a crisis.

No more.

Ghana have become too proud and arrogant at the relative peace and prosperity they have enjoyed under the regional economic and security umbrella that Nigeria has provided the sub-region over the last 20 years.

Today, they are welcoming black Americans in their thousands, offering them free citizenship and free land to live and work on, while chasing Nigerians around, locking their shops, and demanding they pay 1 million dollars each to work.

They are like the great Chinua Achebe's little bird nza, who so far forgot himself after a heavy meal, that he challenged his personal god to a wrestling contest. Needless to add, the deity picked him up and with one swift, deft move, dashed him unto the cold stony earth.

They must be taught a lesson they will never forget.

The ecowas policy says 90 days and 90 days is all you will get beyond which you must take steps to regularise your stay in Ghana.
Else deportation awaits.

All African countries have a resident permit rule including Nigeria, so why are you guys complaining about Ghana enforcing it legal regime?
So now you want to set how huch Ghana should charge on residence permit?
Did Ghana set Nigeria resident permit amount charge for her?
Are Nigerians the only one who pay residence permit in Ghana?

The reason why most countries turn out to be huge messes is the lackadaisically way to law enforcement

Every country in West Africa need to start enforcing their laws so they dont end up with huge messes on their hand.

Yakubu113:
If our so called leaders know what they are doing why will a Nigerian citizen relocate to Ghana in the first place.

if 70 000 american are killed per annum in a country where an invidual can buy machine guns 1000 pieces if you have the money, inshot there re more than 300 millions fires arms in civilian's hands in america ,so america is still heaven to nigeria where fulani people can kill a whole village kidnap bus full of passengers,

Ibrahimmrfish:
Block all import from Ghana,they need us more than we need them.

FrLukas:


And you think the powers that be will sit back and allow you do the bolded in your comment?

That they do it in other African countries doesn't mean they'll allow you do the same. I hope you know that.

Goldencheese:
Empty threat. A serious government would take punitive actions not threaten to do so.

Do something.... Use one of these west African countries to set some examples.. Escalate! Force a commotion... It will force their hands somewhat! In igbo land we say that if the snake refuses to act like a snake, kids will use it to tie sticks! Escalate the situation and put up some sort of zero-sum game... Cut of any stuff they benefit from ecowas/Nigeria for a start.. Force them to blink first. Put your weighty knee on their kante kneck..

Notatribalist:
..Ghanians are bitter about Nigeria simply because Nigerians sell goods at cheaper price than Ghanians. Ghanians believe in making big profit from just one product,while Nigerians believe in little little profit.So for this reason they feel Nigerians are spoiling their business.

jrtorrents:


A lot of lies and half truths.

- what has Nigerians GDP got to do with Ghana? Ghanaian trade with Nigeria is less than 1% of our economy.

- a simple Google search will show you Ghana has several fighter jets. As a country we care more about our people than wasting money on military assets.

- Ghana is welcoming African Americans because they’re bringing investments. Not competing with local people for basic jobs reserved for poor people. Nigerian students, bankers, IT professions are warmly welcomed in Ghana, its the petty traders and criminals that we don’t like!

- the 1 million requirement is only for retail. A Nigerian can set up business in all other areas in Ghana without any requirement. It is only there as means of discouraging foreigners from taking over Ghana’s retail sector which is reserved for poorer Ghanaians.

- So Nigeria has contributed to Ghana’s peace but they can’t provide peace to their own people? What is happening in Nothern Nigeria with Boko Haram ? With all the digger jets and strong army why are they not defeating them?


- the only Nigerian bank in Ghana’s top 10 banks is Zenith

Rossinky:


Another brainless comment.

Do you prefer a homicide rate of 70,000 to the few hundred killed by herdsmen per annum? Yes or no.

You must be INSANE to say the situation in America where there are 300 million guns in private possession is ''heaven''.

Nigeria / Ghana trade is less than 1% of Ghana’s Total trade. Block it for all we care. We’re tired of you people. How about you fix your country instead of trying to export your problems to other countries.

How many Ghanaians are in Nigeria as opposed to Nigerian in Ghana? Why is every other African complaining about Nigerians?

Udanta:
Quite a lot of Ghanaians on Nairaland spewing bile . Why, I wonder?

Bellotelli:

You must be a brilliant student of international politics... It's high time the Nigerian govt starts applying some indirect measures.

Rossinky:


You seriously overrate the influence of ''the powers that be'', by which I presume you mean the west.

Where were they when Liberia and Sierra leone needed defending?

They couldn't stop mere ragtag rebels from destabilizing those countries, but it is NIGERIA they will stop?

Are you sure you're ok?

SUFFERInSMILIIN:


Does Nigeria have a government Nigeria is 32 in Africa in performance and achievement and 171 in the world in performance and achievement what government is there. Everybody knows the country is collapsed only some proud fool
Are still fooling themselves

Rossinky:


Wrong. You MUST let the world know WHY you are taking hefty measures. A serious govt does not just act unilaterally without intimating the world on the situation prior.
