[quote author=lezz post=38260811]What the source says about Nigerian firms and multinational firms run by Nigerians in Ghana is a fact.

The question : Are the aforementioned Nigerians actually in those positions in Ghana?

Is it true that a giant British pharmaceutical like GlaxoSmithKline opens shop in Ghana and has a Nigerian as the CEO?

It is not extraordinary having other other nationals as MDs with Multinationals in host countries.Just as the CEO of GlaxoSmithKline is a Nigerian so also is the MD of Unileaver Nigeria a Ghanaian

I found the article very condescending. Yes there are Nigerian Companies here but that does not mean they are running the economy. The MD and COO of Equity Assurance, Nem Insurance and Regency Alliance Insurance who were mentioned in the article would admit that their market share of the insurance industry in Ghana is very insignificant. The insurance companies with over 90% market share are all owned and run by Ghanaians. With the banking sector, I must admit the coming of Nigerian banks in a way encouraged Ghanaians to open bank accounts. They came with a policy of zero balance account where your account would not be closed even if you have no money in it as was the case. But aside these Nigerian banks, all the major banks are headed by Ghanaians.
The MD of UBI petroleum is also listed as having 4 stations and is mentioned as one of the persons running Ghana’s economy cry

. Like seriously. What about the numerous guys who own more than 10 stations not to talk about established companies like Goil, allied oil and the rest.
Emmanuel Okeson is reported to have the biggest lighting company in West Africa and has 1000 workforce in Ghana. To say that is gross exaggeration is to say the least. Again Krif Ghana is mentioned as the biggest stationary outfit. That is false. The biggest is Ghanaian owned Kingdom books and stationary. So Dele Momodu owns a small restaurant and is included shocked

.SMH.I like him anyway. Always so jovial

These people have started again .

@ Lezz source please I can bet my last cent that a Nigerian made that ish. Am a but busy now but will respond accordingly later. I actually did a Google search now and this article was written in January. Desperate much...

I don't know who wrote this. It is full of exaggeration to say the least. When it comes to stationery store, Kingdom books and stationery is bigger than Krif so what's this crap about biggest in Ghana. The city light company employing 1000 is a huge joke. I know city light at Kokomlemle and the workforce would not even come up to 50

Nonsense

My guy nigerian banks are the biggest in ghana.
Fidelity, Access and Gt Bank are part of the top 6 banks in ghana and they are all nigerian banks
Besides two years ago Gt Bank was awarded the best bank in ghana
So what are you saying??

Fidelity was established as a discount house by Edward Effah a Ghanaian as a discount house in 1998 and turned it into a bank in 2006.Is has no relationship or so ever with Fidelity Nigeria

Wow! Hello sir Achimotan.... We meet again *smiles*

How's the gold coast taking this loss? It's always war when we meet u guys on the field of play.

But still, u guys hv a slim chance.

Yes oo we meet again.Over here some people are boiling with rage when it emerged this morning that the Black Stars players were paid a winning bonus of $10,000 for their win against Mauritius in June in the AFCON qualifier . Before that game we were told the winning bonus had been slashed to $5,000 and people welcomed the idea.The winning bonus disparity among the national teams is so wide. I bet if we had even beaten you,the winning bonus for these guys would not be more than $2,000.
This loss would would reinforce the argument in favor of slashing the winning bonus of the over pampered black stars and use the remaining to cater for the junior national teams.

congrats by the way

Ghana isn't out just yet. If senegal loses by same scoreline to naija, a toss of coin or fair play parameters may come into play. If they lose by 3-0, they're out and ghana goes through. Senegal needs just a draw or a slim loss( like 1-0 or 2-1). But Nigeria is through to the next round even if we go down in the next match to senegal( which won't happen). *smiles*

In my mind we are already out. Senegal would fight tooth and nail to savage at least a point from the last game, knowing a point will keep them in the competition.

The opposition in Ghana see Buhari as an incorruptible leader same way as they see the opposition leaderAkuffo Addo who would come up against Manama next. They are happy he won cos he is of the same age as Akuffo Addo whom many consider to be too old. Indeed whenever the subject of age comes up, Buhari and Quattara are cited by the opposition to buttress the case that u could be over 70 years and still perform.

Accra Seen Adding Millionaires Faster Than Any Other Africa City

A[b]ccra - The Ghanaian capital of Accra is expected to add dollar millionaires at the fastest rate of any African city over the next decade as a stable political regime and developed banking system help boost financial services, telecommunications and property development.
[/b]
The number of people with net assets, excluding their primary residence, of more than $1 million will surge by 78 percent to 4,100 individuals in Accra by 2025, according to an AfriAsia Bank New World Wealth report into African cities published Wednesday. The number of millionaires in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, will climb 71 percent, while those in the Nigerian city of Lagos, Africa’s biggest, will advance 46 percent.

Ghana has one of the best developed banking systems in Africa,” Andrew Amoils, an analyst at Johannesburg-based New World, said in an e-mailed response to questions. “It also has a strong free media and a competitive political structure, unlike most other African countries.” Accra’s expansion of wealthy people will also be spurred by “significant growth” in media and healthcare, he said.

Johannesburg is the African city with the most millionaires in 2015 and is expected to retain that position with a 39 percent surge to 32,600 over the next decade. The South African city, which has the continent’s largest stock exchange and more entrepreneurs than anywhere else in Africa, has more than twice as many millionaires as Cairo, which is second on the 2015 list at 10,200 individuals. Only cities with a minimum of 2,000 millionaires were included in the report.

There are about 163,000 millionaires living in Africa as of June 2015, with combined wealth of $670 billion, according to the report.

U see ur mischief the article clearly state the city of Accra and not the country Ghana

Can you please be ashamed. Our GDP isn't even oil based. We are diversifying big time and leaving you behind.

Where u picked the gdp figure $522B for Nigeria also has that of Ghana at $ 70b but u have been spreading propaganda about Ghana's gdp being $50b

again u always brag about lagos gdp being larger than Ghana,so what? the last time i checked the state of California in USA with a population of 38m has a gdp of $2.28trillion bigger than France with a population of 65m and with the gdp of $2.1trillion.Does that mean those in France don't have comparable living standard to Californians.Again New jersey gdp is bigger than that of Sweden but the standard of living in sweden can match that NJ

They are not more than 3 or 4 max in Ghana. Let's leave it at that ok?

There is nothing wrong having one discipline university like university of health sciences. Why do think Cuba has so many medical doctors and is able to send them to Africa and South America.There is even OLIN COLLEGE with an endowment of $349m in Massachusetts solely established for engineering education.
