Ghanaians are not frivolous like Nigerians, they re shrewd and don't buy into the keep up with the jones mentality that Nigerians do.

They patronize their people's locally made goods unlike Nigerians that love foreign shit.

I can see you are talking from experience and you have stayed in Ghana for many years. Ghanaians are not like Nigerians, Ghanaians love quality products Nigerian love cheap products. Just look at that guy he went to Ghana and invested in iPhone 12 Max, if you was reasonable he would have used the money to expand his business

lol, so you mean if you rent land and start farming Government will come for you because you don’t half half a million dollar? All these things are just formalities on paper holding ground a little on their major markets I can categorically tell you that the main reason it was enforced then was bcoz of the election which their president was trying to win. At that time re-election wasn’t sure for him and he didn’t want the opposition to use that against him. So when the union started agitation and demanded that Government must enforce the law, and after months of agitation they noticed that the Government wasn’t ready, they took the law into their hands and started locking Nigerians shops. The IGP gave direction for the perpetrators to be arrested and locked up and that the shops to be reopened with immediate effect. With continued pressure and as a typical African politician the president didn’t want it to appear as if he didn’t consider his citizens first before the foreigners and with the election approaching so he yielded, You can see that in how he struggled to win the election. I have businesses in the city of Accra so do many Nigerians and throughout that time there wasn’t any problem except those In Circle market and their spare parts market, Abossu okai ( I’m not sure I got the spellings correct ) and Mokola market(which they opened back in less than a month)

My friend farming is my speciality and I have had a farm in Ghana before do not make the mistake of going into farming if you do not comply with gipc. I know a lot of Nigerians which have lost tractors. My friend when a law is made the law is made for the one nation you cannot have your own separate law once you go to court you will lose the court case and this is the mistake which a lot of Nigerians make. My friend have you looked at the laws of Ghana it is illegal for a Nigerian to own a shop and do Petty trading.

Ghana have an edge over Nigeria in electricity and security. In this aspect Ghana is better than Nigeria because without security and electricity how can people do business without hitches.

Also doing business Ghana is way ahead as long as you have your correct papers

He never said what he did to buy that phone, me thinks it was illegitimate. I know Ghana people dont tolerate that especially from Nigerians over there.

Anybody that says Ghana is better than Nigeria, is a big liar. Let me tell you the honest truth, Ghana is only better than Nigeria in aspect of electricity and security. But wait, isn’t that the key parameters to measure if a country is doing good?

I came to Ghana in 2021, I can’t say it’s the worst decision of my life. But I have had my own fair share of the popular saying “This is Accra, Cry your Cry” omo, it has been hard, but I cannot say that there hasn’t been days that were extremely good.

I came into this country using an iPhone 7, now I am using an iPhone 12 Pro Max, it was in this country I met davido one on one. This time last year I was a millionaire here in Ghana. So u see, I cannot say Ghana has been bad to me.

Fast forward to today, I am penniless. At the verge of being thrown to the street. House rent is due in few weeks time. No money for bank account, I don’t even know where the money will come from. I have contemplated returning back to Nigeria, but am I going to borrow the money to do so? Even if I return back to Nigeria now, will I return back to my father’s house? These are the questions.

Well, for now. I think I have to keep being positive and remain on my grind, hoping for God to make a way for me. That’s my only hope.
I'm also in Accra, Nigeria is far better than Ghana.

But in kaduna you are also enjoying kidnapping and banditry. Empty barrier makes the most noise. Agricultural production Ghana dominates doing business Ghana dominate investment Ghana dominate. The criminals would you find in Nigeria and Nigerian criminals abroad are on a completely loaded dimension in their crime

To get iPhone 12 pro in ghana is not that hard . Even my two cousin who don’t have jobs in ghana here are using it . The value of the cost of it compared to here is different . In Nigeria we look at it like say na person wey be well to do dey use am . In ghana it’s a different case .

Are you for real? Please check the cost and tell me if it's that cheap that anyone living in Ghana could afford to own one, is Ghana economy doing better than Switzerland now?

Because it’s their currency . And a Ghanaian can take loan just to buy an expensive phone to use . If you a Nigerian and you used to the Nigerian living when you get here you would know it’s more expensive to stay . To them it’s their currency and it’s normal to their face. Let’s say beer at mama local is sold for 200-350 at mama local in Nigeria . Going to mama local to buy that beer here would cost you 1000 in naira . For them Ghanaians it’s normal . For a Nigerian you feel it isn’t worth it . If I have 10 k in my pocket I can only buy 10 bottles of beer .

There is this Nigerian guy who got transferred to ghana from a company he works for in Nigeria . He said while in Nigeria they paid him 600k monthly and at every month he was able to save money after spending money for his family food and fueling his car back home .

On getting here they paid him in dollars and when converted he got more like extra 300 k added to his salary . But he found out that he couldn’t even save up anymore . Because of the way life is here and expenses . He also said the cost of fuel was also telling on him . Back home he would buy fuel 50k monthly on fueling his car . Over here he was spending like 150 k monthly . He said the guy who he came to replace here while going to Nigeria told him he would ask the company he wanted to go back to Nigeria . But because he felt he was paid in dollar he laughed it out . He only used 4 months in ghana and told them he wanted to go back . I met this guy here in Ghana and he is currently back to Nigeria now .

For me I am half half and I remember when my uncle gave me one of his cars to use 1.8 litter diesel . After just two months nobody tell me to give him back his car . Every week I found out I was spending 15k or more on fuel .No be say I Dey roam about o. Na to drive go office for morning when it’s evening I drive back home . The 15 k diesel . Diesel be like 1200-1300 per litter . But to normal Ghanaian he doesn’t see anything wrong with the cost .

A UK used iPhone 6 is sold for 30/40 k in Nigeria. Over here it’s sold for 100k . Ghanaians go carry their money buy am so easy . But you as a foreigner will think deep about it . Even when you working here and making money legitimately you need to have saving here and also need to be sending money back home . How you won do am survive ?? Unless you are doing fraud join or stealing from somewhere then you wouldn’t mind to complain .

A Toyota Camry ( muscle) maybe sold for 3-4.5/5 million is sold here at 7-8 million . Bag of pure water is sold here at 800 naira for one bag . Today self I wanted to buy plastic coke the woman next street was telling me it’s 700 naira . I reverse my hand . Ghana man go buy am without even thinking twice

Ghanaians don’t price things when they see you are pricing things then they say you are Alata/ oga( meaning Nigerian ) . They would let you know it’s we Nigerians that can be asking for reduction .
