Lady T, would Nigerians be able to trust themselves to even run this proposed charity without shenanigans?

Even in hell, Nigerians are constantly in search of the key to satan's safe. Greed, I tell ya.

[QUOTE]We supply Ghana electricity yet we dont have light? [/QUOTE]

Hah? Please elaborate and provide evidence. How is Nigeria able to supply Ghana with electricity?

What's wrong with paying toll? You want development yet not willing to pull out your wallet. Shut up fool. Be thankful you've at least got one honest politician in the whole of Nigeria -- Fashola. Let him do his thing.

Beware, this thing smells of 419. There's just something about those workers in the outdated photo that doesn't jive.

[QUOTE]^^^ give the man some info na. Never mind what he is going to do there. you cant expect everyone to lay out their plans for you[/QUOTE]

Never mind?

Ghana is weary of all these so-called "hustlers" with no legitimate business plans.

All the dude had to do was give a general summary of his intended "business", so that successful Nigerians who are already in those places can provide targeted advice.

Ok, lemme give you this info:

1) Petty buy/sell (trading) is reserved for Ghanaians only. If you're a non-Ghana citizen, and want to petty trade, you'd have to capitalize or have $300,000 -- US Dollars.

2) The cost of living is a bit higher than Nigeria, but some things like phone calls and public transportation (to name a few) are cheaper.

3) The police are quite humane, so put aside your FESTAC atitude, obey the law and be friendly.

Please define "hussle" (btw, the correct spelling is hustle). What type of business do you plan to engage in? Why are you interested with the internet? Please don't lead us to the wrong assumptions.

[QUOTE]Yuck!! is this how you describe Ghanaian women? you should be ashamed of yourself![/QUOTE]

I don't think Chris is relocating to dark Africa for blond hair and blue eyes pvssy.

Ever heard the phrase "Dark & Lovely"? or "Black is Beautiful"? Your comment explains why Nigerian women are too busy bleaching their skin?

Chris, see the type of mentality you'd be dealing with in Naija? A nation with no self-confidence, no nationalism and ruled by backwards Muslims.

Chris, come to Ghana with your Naija wife and start a business. Forget Nigeria. It's a dangerous and inhumane country. Sure, you've been there several times but once you settle, gbam! Dem kidnappers, area boys and NEPA will make your life hell. fvck Abuja. What kind of silly name is that for a city anyway? Besides, once you're on your wife's home turf, the "game" will definitely change (if ya know what I mean).

I sense you love dark meat. In Ghana, the meat is darker, sweeter and friendlier. Holla!

Star Beer is a Ghanaian beer but that's ok.

We've adopted Nigerian brands too, so it's cool.

Glowing reviews of Star Beer: http://www.thebackpacker.net/travel-guide/world-drinks/ghana/360/ (looks like the world loves Star)

Damn! Ghana has four players in that mutha. We are re-pre-sent-ing! woot, woot!

Ahhh, my eyes hurts!

Ah, is anything about Nigeria not big? Now you've got the "Giant Hospital of Brooklyn" , located in "The Big Apple" (a.k.a New York)  , built by a doctor from "The Giant of Africa"  ,  hehehe

{oops, duplicate}

Londoner, your mama! Reading all these stories on Nairaland alone can cause anyone to commit suicide. Your Nigeria is a failed state. So you mean all those postcard-resque pictures of buildings in Lagos are surrounded by the Garden of Eden? You are a typical Nigerian, so full of yourselves. Why are so many Nigerians in Ghana IF Nigeria is so much better?

[QUOTE]I have a challenge for the entire forum. Please google Kenyan women love white men. Then do same again replacing Kenyan with Ghanaian and Nigerian. For 150 million that we are it seems the results confirm that it is us Nigerians who are most steadfast and proud of our identity.[/QUOTE]

Oh, Nigerian women definitely love white men. That's why they're all cheap prostitut3s in the white man's land. They can't get enough wrinkled pig d!cks.

The only way y'all would understand "identity" is if the word "theft" follows it.

ikeyman and Gbawe just discovered how to use google search, yay!

This looks like one of the several gutters in Accra during rainy season. I never knew mosquito/malaria breeding was a tourist attraction.

[QUOTE]see glo shinning in Ghana, and they say we hate Nigerians[/QUOTE]

For real. We love Glo and all big money legit Nigerian investors. It's only the cheapskates like "Nigerian petty traders", yahoo boys, armed robbers and Gbawe's perfect snubbish Afro-British family we wanna kick out.

See how we gave Glo prime location hah? Not too far from Olusegun Obasanjo road in Accra. Otumfour, is it now really safe to say Ghana hearts Naija?

[QUOTE]www.nairaland.com/attachments/320729_nigeria_jpgd50bfceece3a4eb5d30b4f78cc8431e4[/QUOTE]

LMBAO mate! Otumfour you are so wrong. Hahahahaha. Look at Gbawe trying to crawl up and leave Naija. Is that londoner, the petty trader, on the floor? Sister don't forget your oranges and $300K if not we'll send your back.

Kenyastar, your country is beautiful. Nairobi is amazing. West Africa could learn a thing or two from Kenya. Don't mind the haters.

[QUOTE]I wasn't even going to respond to this silly train wreck of a thread but you seem to have no idea of either basic mathematics, the decimal point, percentages, or possibly all three. Perhaps you meant 2% and not 0.2%? Anyways perhaps you should concern yourself less with the Nigerians that you believe to be no better than you are and go out and achieve something for Ghana, like maybe elementary mathematics or statistics comprehension. How will Nigerians not think themselves better than you when the best insult you can offer is bungled by your own ignorance and stupidity?[/QUOTE]

Look in the mirror. Y'all are the ones with serious megalomania. The idea that small Ghana seems to be doing most things right compared to Nigeria (and that ain't no hype), doesn't settle well with you. Btw, this thread, started by a Nigerian, reeks of How-Dare-rism -- (i.e "How dare Ghana imposes this regulations on us, the savior of Africa? This law is a travesty, an abomination! Lets strike them down with our gods Glo, Zenith Bank & Chicken Republic".

Whether it's 0.2% or 2% doesn't matter -- we're still talking about millions of social deviants and rogues. Y'all need to stop breeding like rabbits. Stop the incest, expecially rap3s of your own daughters and nieces.

I'm a tough man but shed a tear when I read this Confused Naija Girl's blog: (http://confusednaijagirl..com/)

[QUOTE]At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter what these Nigerians here say. They are not that important. Leave them to believe their own hype[b]*[/b]. Ghanaians, we have work to do and they are not worth the energy if the truth be told.[/QUOTE]

londoner, I fixed your quote as you intended. Thank me. 




*Hype as in: Nigerians are intelligent, smart, industrious, rich, giant of Africa, better economy, prettier women, only a few are criminals -- say about 0.2%



*0.2% = 5 million criminals 

[QUOTE]^^ abuja dey pepper your yansh sha!!

suck it up, loser.[/QUOTE]

Population of Nigeria: 150 million
Population of Abuja: 700,000

According to those numbers, either

1) Most Nigerians haven't heard about how beautiful Abuja is, or
2) Most residents leave after 5pm to other Nigerian cities/states and come back at 7am the next day, or
3) Abuja is ridiculously expensive or
4) Abuja was just built to generate postcard sales or
5) The petty traders, armed robbers and yahoo boys who'd have made Abuja home moved to Ghana -- leaving behind the ashawos, or
6) A combination of the above

[QUOTE]So if a foreigner with great ideas, for example Indians who moved to Silicon Valley in the USA, wants to develop a promising business from scratch, that foreigner will be unable to develop his idea into a profitable business, unless of course if he coughs out $300, which is unpractical for a fledgling business. That endangers small businesses.[/QUOTE]

princek12, this law is geared towards petty trading (buy & sell) in market or store. If a foreigner wants to open a business to develop or produce a product, the requirements are different (not $300K) and can be met quite easily.

Don't get any of this confused with the cost of registering your company name in Ghana. I think it's like 50 cedis or some cheap amount.

[QUOTE]in Ghana in 2005 when all the hotels in Accra were raided ( except of course the big hotels) and foreigners especially Nigerians were arrested.It was a harrowing experience and I was in the cell for almost 6 hours.But to their credit, we didnt pay a dime to get out, most of use were released after being interviewed.But could you blame them?In the very hotel I stayed for about 2 months (then like 70 cedis or N1000 a day)-4 Nigerian armed robbers and their girl friends had been staying.They would come back every morning-order beer at the outdoor bar and in loud voices speaking Nigerian languages celebrate their overnight exploits.At that time 70% of all armed robbers were Nigerians and 95% of all 419 fraudsters=-Nigerians.[/QUOTE]

Emma, thanks for narrating your experience and point of view on this subject. Ghana is not perfect, but we can't just throw our hands up and say, "well, nothing would work so lets go to sleep". If we fukk up then we fukked up! We'd then try something else.

[QUOTE]light go dey?[/QUOTE]

Otumfour, of course light go dey. The only problem is you'd get black lung disease from inhaling generator fumes. May be he go take you go Abuja, a.k.a Nigerian Disneyworld, built for show-off,  where the life is fake.

[QUOTE]Only a fool would posit that redinomination (basically rounding down a couple of deciman places in Ghana's case) translates into 'strenght'. Let me educate this fool. Ghana redenominated circa July 2007. 10,000 Cedis became 1 new cedi by rounding down of decimal places .  What the old 10,000 Cedis bought is precisely what the new 1 Cedi will now buy. At the time of redinomination it was 10,000 old cedis = 1 new Cedi = $1 . Today it is 1 new Cedi to around $1.44 . Where is the alluded strenght ? At redinomation it was about £1 to 1.9 Cedis. Today it is £1 to 2.2 new Cedis. Another slide against a major currency.

Now let see what the Naira is doing . It is £1 to 233 Naira . 'Olodo' Ghanaians would be jumping around thinking their currency is strong in comparison to Naira because they exchange 2.2 cedis for £1. Is it ? NO. If Nigeria redenominate also , and Soludo planned this with Yar Adua failing to accede, 233 Naira could become 23.3 Naira or 2.33 Naira . If we choose the 2.3 Naira option we would then have 2.2 cedis = £1= 2.33 Naira !!! Currently A pack of crisp sold for 2.2 cedis would sell for 233 Naira . If Nigeria also redenominated it would be 2.3 Naira.  In effect the naira is virtually the same as the Cedi except that goods are actually much cheaper in Nigeria using an homogenous inflation basket of goods for both nations .[/QUOTE]


The purchasing power, and ease of earning a nation's currency, determines appeal. Today, it is quite easy to make C2.20 in Ghana compared to N233 (or N2.33 if redominated) in Nigeria. In Nigeria it would take extra resources, effort or expense to earn N233. In Ghana the cost of doing business is cheaper so more goes into one's pocket.

[QUOTE]How does one's currency play a role in where to live and work?[/QUOTE]

If that wasn't the case, the travel section on NL would be filled with "How do I get a Zimbabwean visa?"
