[QUOTE]Unbeknown to him, Ghana is not a place where mediocrity is celebrated (unlike a certain place that shall remain nameless.)[/QUOTE]

He expected mini Lagos at a fraction of the Naira served to him on a silver platter. This was after all, insignificant Ghana. Hey, Gbawe, we play hard in Ghana too.

[QUOTE]They desperate because they Nigerians right? Or would a Kenyan pay same amount and be regarded as desperate. Bottom line desperate or not, fact is that they regarded as foreigners, and foreigners are gonna pay $300k for petty trade business. Foreigners who invest in your land are not desperate, you are contributing to their economy, that is the part of economics you left out when implementing your genius idea of $300k capital[/QUOTE]

You are all over the place.

Ok, Nigerians are the most visitors to Ghana, followed by Americans. Nigerians stay the longest and most don't return. The population of Nigerians in Ghana is extremely high (after all y'all are the Giant of Africa). There's no way Ghana's economy and infrastructure can absorb the rate at which Nigerians are pouring into Ghana. Mind you, the Cedi is strong so that might be the main reason to live and work in Ghana.

So this law, which on the surface looks like it's simply meant to collect $300K per foreigner, is actually targeted at the exploding Nigerian migration to Ghana.

It's so obvious that a petty trader cannot afford $300K isn't it? So the majority would just have to leave or engage in crime. So I predict some type of Nigerian Deportation Order in the very near future.

[QUOTE]In any case Ghana was not always like this and Ghanaians were certainly not this openly hostile and xenophobic circa 2000 when I began visiting.[/QUOTE]

Prior to about 1996, the term armed robbery or 419 wasn't part of Ghana's vocabulary. Prior to 2000, Nigerians had their sights on Europe/USA etc. Then the Nigerian invasion and crime slowly picked up. Have you connected the dots yet? Are you still surprised and perplexed why the whole world is hostile towards Nigerians? Don't you detect even a tiny cause-and-effect thingy going on here? Come on Gbawe, you can't be that daft!

[QUOTE]I would not even engage in your act of silliness. The underlying fact here is that they are still foreigners, and the context here is paying the $300k for petty trading and if u weren't slow, you would know that I was talking about foreigners in this context. No problem I will excuse your lack of comprehension. Next time if you engaging in a topic, try and deduce the fact from the actual context of the topic being discussed.[/QUOTE]

Hah? WTF is your point?

[QUOTE]Oh we? Did you say foreigners?[/QUOTE]

No, I said "desparate foreigners interested in petty trading". Do you understand? or that phrase is tasking your brain.

[QUOTE]Let Ghanaians have their "Obroni" (white man) influenced society with all its attendant perversion, homosexuality, paedophilia and deviancy.[/QUOTE]

The same society that you, Gbawe, can't seem to get away from. The same society you've poured your hard earned British pounds into. I now have an idea what type of business you're into.

[QUOTE]Clap for yourself, I asked again how many of your so-called petty traders have been able to come up with $300k. The last time I checked, you guys are so enshrined in your petty jealousy amongst yourself that you waiting on the Nigerian rogues to bring forth the bacon. You here comparing food to america where as a greasy meal at McDonalds full meal don't even cost that much if it were per your calculation yet it doesn't cost someone $300k to open a small burger joint.[/QUOTE]

Hello!?

The aim of this law is not for us to come up with $300K. It's for YOU, desperate foreigners who are interested in petty trading, to capitalize for $300K and hire 10 Ghanaians or scram! Either way Ghana wins. It is a, Je nais sais quois (with my Canadian French accent) -- a potentially lucrative economic stimulus or humane version of "Nigeria Must Go".

Laws are meant to achieve result(s). If you think about this particular one a bit critically, you'd see what a genius the Ghana government is.

@p.o.p.s

ECOWAS your m.a.m.a. You sound like a little boy shouting "mommy, mommy". That treaty is so vague and full of holes. Take that treaty and stick it into a big fat ball of eba. Ghana will get back to it after our economy is on the right trajectory.

[QUOTE]eh wo $300k is 480k cedis? Pleas o what is the exchange rate? You are claiming $1 to be 1.46cedis, hmmm cedis is now like Canadian dollar, shoot way better than Canadian dollar, almost ranking to euro but euro is bigger than dollar so the next one after dollar.[/QUOTE]

Yes, the exchange rate is $1 = C1.43 to C1.46.

A Mr. Big (A Nigerian greasy joint ) meal for one can cost between C8.00 to C10.00. It's comparable to the price of fast food in America. So it means things are quite expensive in Ghana. That's why our government needs that $300K, which isn't much for you rogues to come up with.

I repeat, Megalomania:

Megalomania is a word defined as: [1]

A psychopathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of wealth, power, or omnipotence.
An obsession with grandiose or extravagant things or actions.

The word megalomania is derived from the Greek words "μεγαλο": megalo-, meaning large, and "μανία": mania, meaning madness, frenzy. The first attested use of the word "megalomania" is in 1890 as a translation of the French word "mégalomanie".

Oh teacher {Abrantie raises hand}, Who's the "Great Britain"? Let me guess -- Nigeria. LOL!

Delusions of Grandeur -- It's another trait which is typical amongst Nigerians:

Noun:

1. delusions of grandeur - a delusion (common in paranoia) that you are much greater and more powerful and influential than you really are.

delusion, psychotic belief - (psychology) an erroneous belief that is held in the face of evidence to the contrary.

megalomania - a psychological state characterized by delusions of grandeur.

Gbawe, we can scour the net all day but thanks to NL, I don't have to,

Crime: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/board-1.0.html

Racism, Tribalism, Sectarianism: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/board-40.0.html (quite a lot of tribalism going on amongst Nigerians heh? Funny I didn't see any thread on Ghana's discrimination against Nigeria. May be this one would end up there.)

manny4life:
Very quick to pin point Nigeria's problem, yet very slow to acknowledge her presence. First off, these statement sounds so "Petty"; can't even correlate what the underlining fact is but hey Nigerians aren't dunce at all. You mentioned "LUPUS"; as a comparison to Nigeria as being it's own disease, you quickly forget on your same LUPUS analogy, just like every other disease, while some cannot be treated, they can however, be reduced to a minute amount. Nigeria has gone rogue, it only takes the smart and intelligent and oh did I mentioned courage for someone to be a rogue, qualities that seem hard for yall to possess. If your problem is because we've gone rogue, there's only one solution; STAY AWAY. If I were Ghana, I would continue on the same path, because when Nigeria begins to change, Nigeria would change with same baton that was served to her. You haven't said why u so worried about ""Federal", fancy Abuja structures, airports, oil revenue, Silverbird Cinemas, Globacoms and greasy fried chicken joints?

In the typical Nigerian fashion, you took the definition of rogue and used it in a positive context.


Actual Definition of rogue

noun:

1. An unprincipled, deceitful, and unreliable person; a scoundrel or rascal.
2. One who is playfully mischievous; a scamp.
3. A wandering beggar; a vagrant.
4. A vicious and solitary animal, especially an elephant that has separated itself from its herd.
5. An organism, especially a plant, that shows an undesirable variation from a standard.

Adjective:

1. Vicious and solitary. Used on an animal, especially an elephant.
2. Large, destructive, and anomalous or unpredictable: a rogue wave; a rogue tornado.
3. Operating outside normal or desirable controls: "How could a single rogue trader bring down an otherwise profitable and well-regarded institution?" (Saul Hansell).
v. rogued, rogu·ing, rogues


Rogue is not MY problem. It's NIGERIA'S problem. Remember I was the one who called it YOUR problem? I even went as far as comparing the situation to Lupus. Your job would be to defend my allegations as to why your country/people has gone rogue. Damn, reading comprehension must not be taught in the land of "smart and intelligent" people.

The problem with Nigeria is -- it's full of Nigerians.

There's a disease called Lupus, in which the immune system, which is supposed to protect one's body against diseases, instead turns around and attacks the body.

Nigeria's immune system, which is her people, has gone rogue. Without major attitudinal shift by her citizens, no amount of acronyms starting with "Federal", fancy Abuja structures, airports, oil revenue, Silverbird Cinemas, Globacoms and greasy fried chicken joints can save the country.

@ MrPrsdent.

They're all Nigerians WITH Ghana identities/passports. One guy had 16 international passports so how did the authorities conclude he was a Ghanaian? Oh, and Aliyu Abubakar, a "Ghanaian" doing 419 in Nigeria? LOL, you guys flatter yourselves.

mdsocks:
oh i see, now you just confirmed what most guyz have been saying about the colour issue  

Gbawe is the one proud to hold UK citizenship. He's the one bragging about dual citizenship and the option of not being stuck in Ghana or Nigeria.

Vodafone is a British company. Vodafone is doing quite well in Ghana. Gbawe and his lovely family are British. There's something in Ghana besides Glo for Gbawe to be proud of.

Gbawe, seriously, you've got me mixed up with another Ghanaian poster here on NL. Go back, do a quick research and you'd see I'm telling the truth.

Let me ask you a few questions,

- When you resided in Ghana, were you law-abiding? I'd assume yes.
- When you resided in Ghana, were you there legally? I'd assume yes.
- When you were in Ghana, did you invest considerably in the economy, I'd conclude yes.
- When you were in Ghana, did anybody threaten your life? I'd answer on your behalf, NO.
- If the answer to the previous question is YES, did you engage the Ghanaian law enforcement?
- When you were in Ghana, did you meet a single Nigerian who was doing well, satisfied and loved the place?

My point is, I'm at awe why you've got your panties in a bunch because wifey's family aint feeling His Gbaweness!

FYI, I'm an American citizen, a Canadian citizen, an Australian permanent resident and a Ghanaian citizen (by birth) but guess what, I'm not on NL 24/7 moaning about how Canada, USA or Aussie did me wrong. Dude, YOU are a Ghanaian through marriage. Suck it up and deal with any sucker trying to give you a tough time while living in your own country.

Oh, and you are obsessed with Glo. For chrisakes, get off Globacom's dikk. Ghana has six (6), I repeat, SIX telcos. At this point, we are saturated. Glo is an insignificant player. Just because it's a Nigerian company doesn't mean squat.

otumfour:

Akora wei onye correct kuraa. Wa bodam.

Ileke-IdI:
Dear Gawd. . . . Like seriously, Gbawe talks too much sometimes.
Nitori kini?

Doesn't he?

I think he needs professional help. Gbawe has family problems just like millions or billions of people in this world. Even intra-citizen, intra-race, intra-tribal or intra-faith marriages often meet family resistance, so how much more being married outside your "zone"? He thinks he's such a swell, intelligent and successful Nigerian so mumu Ghanaians should rejoice by his mere presence. Why? because he and his wife are UK-born Africans? Nonsense! Londoner has the same problem. I'm now begining to understand why they're both quick to jump on the Ghana-hating bandwagon. When one marries an African, one gets married to the whole family. If for some reason their new extended family doesn't approve of the marriage, the man should take it like a man and continue doing his thing!

Btw, I'm not married to a Nigerian. I don't know where Gbawe got that from.

Gbawe, take your so-called wealth out of Ghana, and live happily ever after in UK or Nigeria. Why is that so difficult for you to do? Is it because you feel Ghana owes you something? If so what is it?

Gbawe:
Why would it make sense to you when you deal with conjecture rather than facts? My entire family all have Dual nationalities  . I was born in the UK but raised in Nigeria till my late teens (when I departed for the UK) . My wife was born and raised in the UK and all my kids were born in the UK so please refrain from talking as if I have "gone back" to a place that is actually my home (the UK) as much as Nigeria .  I have never stated that I deliberately wanted to live in Ghana . I am not a braggart like you but I have done Okay and own several homes in the UK , Ghana and Nigeria as a fairly succesful businessman. My connection to Ghana is through my wife , a successful proffesional ,  who happens to be from Ghana.

If you are exposed enough to note how succesful young Africans in the West are now thinking , especially if they have young children,  you will realise that migration to Africa , after proffessonal success in the West, is now becoming popular . You can consolidate on success already achieved, help develop Africa with your expertise/specialist skills plus raise your kids with the doctrine of respect for others and security in their African origin which they may not gain if they are brought up entirely in the West. We have always planned to live between the UK , Ghana, and Nigeria because those places are a combination of where we all all from and to give our kids the sophisticated and urbane outlook often gained from regular travel and an exposure to various societies. We don't want intolerant kids who will look down on others because they lack exposure same as some children of African origin raised entirely in the UK have no strong African identity or a genuine awareness that Africans are not undignified tree-dwellers !!! It is a measure of how we view Ghana that we have now decided it is not a place even worth vacationing in , currently, if you have any connection to Nigeria. I go there now and then to attend to our business interest but my wife avoids the place completely.  She is totally scarred by the open and unchecked xenophobia against Nigeria and Liberians in Ghana juxtaposed with the fawning adulation of anyone with fairskin eg the Lebanese, Indians, Caucasians, Chinese etc .

You are in Ghana . You know what I am talking about. Stop playing to the Gallery on the internet because such duplicity is what is making intolerance worse in your Country .

You claim not to be a braggart but then goes on to tell us about your several homes, businesses, well educated and professional Ghana wife (whose poo doesn't stink) while travelling on multiple continents with very well-behaved, sophisticated and model British-born African children, who enjoy banku, eba, fish-n-chips and high tea ,  all on the same plate. Awww, how sweet. You're so modest.

Let me say this: your Ghanaian wife is a clueless stuck up b!tch who thinks she's too good for her own people. Apparently y'all also too good to live in Nigeria WITH Nigerians, your people, whom you claim treat you better. Meh, the Gbawe family is a pompous and whiney bunch.

I wonder what type of business, such a hateful person, would want to run in a country they so much despise? Gbawe, I can deduce that you are a sissy. A man who is easily hurt and cries. I can tell your Ghanaian wife wears the pants in the family. She says, you follow. That Ghana kitty was laid on you real good. You don't know whether you're coming or going. Man up!

Gbawe left Ghana back to UK, of all places, due to Ghana's racism? You don't make an iota of sense.

@ Londoner, Nigeria did not invent BRT so why are you thumping your chest? Since y'all like the acronym "ECOWAS" so much, Ghana is part of ECOWAS and has the right to foster trade, partnership and learn from her neighbors. What's wrong with that? Furthermore, it's cheaper for poor little Ghana to fly to Lagos instead of London. That's called fiscal responsibility -- an idea which evades your greedy rulers and citizens alike.

So 25 people died of cholera two years ago in our "not-so-great" or "dwarf-of-Africa" (I made that up) or "insignificant" Ghana, so why should anyone be surprised?

Some Nigerians in Ghana, if not most, have a chip on their shoulders. Couple that with Nigeria's worldwide notoriety with crime, Gbawe, you shouldn't expect us to just roll out the red carpet for you. I'm noticing this afformentioned arrogance first hand. For example about 3 days ago, I was taking a stroll in Dzorwulu (a suburb of Accra) and heard loud screeching tires. I turned around saw an orange Dodge Charger with Lagos license plates driving recklessly, up and down the neighborhood and main street, spinning tires and kicking dust all over the place. The driver had absolutely no regard for fellow motorists or pedestrians and could have easily caused an accident. I guess he thinks Ghanaians are envious of his ill-gotten car or lawless Lagos, the so-called "Center of Excellence" (really, it is inscribed on the licence plate) LOL!  This example is a microcosm of the general attitudes of Nigerians towards Ghanaians -- "Wheeeee look at us, although we are disorganized and can't get anything right, we are better than Ghana,  wheeeeee".

Gbawe, Londoner and co, please spare us your diatribes and platitudes.

Gbawe:
If there is a cholera pandemic in a Nigerian State run by the most dictatorial and corrupt leader , insistent on keeping his State back to the stone age,

I didn't know Nigeria was made up of independent states. Isn't the Federal Republic of Nigeria a federation? So where's your central government when human rights are being abused by Nazi-like governors? Blaming the outbreak of a disease on one state's government alone shows how limited your knowledge is on public health issues.

Btw Gbawe, please explain to the board again why you're still in Ghana.

Nigeria, your people are dying of cholera. A disease which is an indicator of extreme poverty and lack of sanitation accumen of a country. Please first open up sanition supplies stores in Nigeria. Then after you're successful, come to Ghana with $300K.

https://i.huffpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/9914/slide_9914_130738_large.jpg?1283344076020

According to the American Lung Association, Los Angeles is the city with the most ozone pollution in the United States. Last year, the average ozone level in Los Angeles was the worst of any American city and the average particulates level ranked among the botom ten. While LA may be especially notorious, it's a statewide problem. The local Air Resources Board estimates that air pollution causes 9,200 premature deaths per year in California.


Niger Delta, Nigeria

https://i.huffpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/9914/slide_9914_130983_large.jpg?1283344140956

With more than 6,800 oil spills, which amounts to 300 spills a year, roughly one spill a day, and 9 to 13 million barrels of oil spilled over 50 years, the Niger Delta remains one of the most oil-polluted locations on the planet. The nine to thirteen million barrels of oil have been spilled into the third largest wetland on the planet. Due to continuously ruptured pipelines and the presence of oil contaminates, the Delta's mangroves, rivers, and wildlife are perpetually damaged. The United States imports eight percent of its oil from Nigeria, which is almost half of the country's oil spill production. Nigeria is the fifth largest supplier of oil to the United States. Shell has stated that 90% of spills are caused by militant thieves who access the pipelines to steal oil. Watch CNN's coverage of the oil polluted Niger Delta.

The innovation by Ghanaian entrepreneur, Bright Simons to detect fake drugs gets a major boost as one of the world’s leading IT companies, Hewlett Packard develops its technology and security infrastructure.

The innovation known as mPedigree uses the text message system of the mobile phone to help consumers check if the drug they are buying is fake or genuine.

The system assigns a unique code to genuine drugs, printed on the back of medicine blister packs under a sheet that is scratched off.

When a customer sends a text message to a short code, an instant “OK” response is received indicating if the drug is registered and thus real. It also sends additional information like the drug’s manufacturer and expiry date.

If the drug is not registered and potentially fake, people receive a text message that says “No. Please recheck code.” The system is free for consumers and is paid for by pharmaceutical companies and governments.

Bright Simons told ghanabusinessnews.com that HP’s involvement with mPedigree “underscores the world class calibre of the programme.” Adding “HP is the world’s largest telecom company with the largest technology in health and they are widely trusted by the pharmaceutical industry.”

He believes that HP’s extensive track record in authentication is a plus for mPedigree.

The Nigerian government has already decided to use the technology on all medicines in the country. Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania have all expressed interest in using the technology.
