if diplomacy is what you called crying, then expect more of it...cus That is what is Ghana using to achieved its major development, that is how she was able to sugar talk africa continent to host the free africa trade continent secretariat, that is how she was able to convince Toyota and Volkswagen to open up in her base, that is how she convinced Google to open A1 laboratory ( The only Google research center in africa) in Accra.


Good Governance is about diplomacy not unneccasry pride or arrogance.

No problem, let them convince Buhari this time and should stop complaining

chrisagyei:
hahaha, you see boy,I have been watching you from a distance.Your generator fumes in your brain is affecting your thoughts.Report me again to those foolish mods or whatever and oh,Nigeria is the zoo,I beg you,the name is yours.Ghana is 1 million times better than your zoo with 200 million starving poverty capital of the world. hahahaha

We know so please tell your ministers to stop disturbing us about the closure.

ChaosMagus:
You guys don't know Ghanaian leaders... Watch how they will maneuver through the situation and see how in the end it will benefit Ghana.

Even if Gambia decides to for instance boycott our products, trust Ghanaian leaders to go and negotiate some kind of a deal with them. So its not new to us. Anything that will be in our interest internationally trust me they will do it.

Tell your ministers to continue the negotiations, the borders remain shut for now

No one is taking about the size of GDP here but the size of cash averagely available to individual of each citizens and what an average individual can buy

Assuming every Ghanaian earns $500 per month and every Nigerian earns $450 per month in a population of 28million to 201million, tell us which collective purchasing power is greater here.
If every Nigerian and Ghanaian is to buy a pair of flip flop and a company is to supply it but to supply just one country, pray tell which country any company chosen to supply would choose first.

vaxx:
You expose your foolishness when you sent me that link . you disgraced whatever education system that breed you.

Your government officials have been crying since

drakeli:
GDP per capital is by dividing a country's gross domestic product gdp by its total population. The population of Ghana is way too small compared to Nigeria hence a little difference between their per capital. Compared to Nigeria, both Ghana’s gdp and population are smaller. Ghana having a slight higher per capital does not make the country as an entity a bigger economy or a country with a bigger purchasing power.

Don't mind them, the purchasing power of Ghana us just $200 billion and that of Nigeria is $1.2 trillion, $1 trillion more than that of Ghana and that's why their ministers have been begging all the while.

Afamed:
Go to Kebbi, Kano and the recent one Coshcaris rice in Anambra. FG has been giving loans at very reasonable % to various farmers in Nigeria

Don't give heed to those smugglers, they've been losing money and their source of livelihood since the closure, hence their anger.
How can a sane Nigerian not to be happy with this wise decision by the government?
Buhari will definitely fall my hand if opens up the border any soon.

MUMUdom:
You are funny sha. Let me break things down for you. The man just heard Nigeria’s population is 201 million and hurriedly jumped to the naive conclusion that it is a bigger market and therefore offers a bigger market for Ghanaian exporters. What he failed to understand was that in reality, the Nigerian market is indeed not bigger than the Ghanaian market.

I should explain? Fuckeduppedness okay your population is 200 million right? Half of them are children due to the propensity of Nigerians to give birth like rats. out of the 100 million adults remaining, 90% of them are unemployed and desperately poor and have very low purchasing power. So in reality, less than 10 million Nigerians have any purchasing power. Very sad, isn’t it?

I can feel your pain by what your minister said, he knows the in and out of the Ghanaian economy in respect to trade with Nigeria and of course he knows the consequences of any countermeasures by Ghana.
He knows more than just ranting online. Kasepreko is losing $1 million monthly since the closure and the minister knows that and the loses of other companies that you don't know of.

Have you asked yourself why it's been only Ghana's government officials that have been doing all the talking and lamenting since the closure?
As the minister rightly said, Ghana needs the Nigerian market than we need theirs so you can as well lie to yourself that only 1 and not 10 million Nigerians have the purchasing power, your minister has rightly told you the truth

AgentNairaland:
Very scare let's say the fact.. And even Demand is more than suppy..

If we should strive to be alone as u said, then we should stop importing cars too..

It is people like you that would prefer imported air if given the chance.
When was the last time you visited a local market where rice is being sold?
You are shouting scarce when the local rice is everywhere

kunleweb:
I k ow all the processes. Stop making excuses. Leaving the borders open benefits surrounding nations. Nigerian can't produce enough rice for 150 million persons at the moment. No need to get emotional about the discuss

Make we hear word abeg, go to any rice seller in any open market in the country and request for stone free local rice that has been milled and they'd give it to you. You don't even need to ask in some cases because the sellers would ask you what type you want.
The stone filled ones are cheaper and are mostly bought by those who have bukas, those who carry their cooked meals on wheelbarrow and of course those who can go through the rigours of the destoning and not everyone is that good at that nor have the patience.
So stop sounding as if there are no stone free local rice in the market, your pocket determines what you want.

More than 50 loaded trucks stranded in Seme Border after the border closure by the federal government


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sRWWZ9CAJM

Ghana's kasapreko makers of alomo bitters are losing about $1 million every month since the closure.
Any serious exporter from those countries should use our seaports for now

allthingsgood:
Infact Jonathan had budget for importation of rice from benin. As in Benin and Togo collect both custom duty, tax plus all our budgetary allocations! Lol

You forgot to add that our subsidized petrol is smuggled into Benin and Togo too and reducing their imports for it and they are able to conserve their forex to our detriment.
Our subsidized petrol is meant for only Nigerians and not for the subregion filled with leeches

Sunofgod:
Please explain why importers avoid Nigerian ports. Is it solely down to the duties?

And if so why are you Nigerian import duties prohibitive?

Reason our import duties are high is because the FG is trying to stimulate local production as we can see in our rice production now, making imports more expensive so that more producers would go into production and produce more, we conserve our scarce foreign exchange and jobs are created. By the time we have a comparative advantage in the production of the stuffs, the FG may now relax the duties

Sirjamo:
And the three dunc3s that preceded Buhari ( Including the great letter writer and Dr Clueless) did nothing about it, or they all knew nothing about ECOWAS trade charter despite all their degrees!!!!

OBJ at a point closed it but he had to reopen under pressure unlike Buhari who no send anybody, do anyhow and see anyhow

allthingsgood:
Nobody wants to kill him. If that were so he for done die since. Kanu is simply a criminal who jumped bail. All u pple that were telling govt to honour Court ruling have never come out to speak against his jumping bail, but tomorrow u will expect security agents to let lose another criminal abi. Smh

Don't mind them, Kanu intentionally jumped bail after stage managing a so called "invasion" by soldiers on his compound, ask those IPOBians to provide a proof of just one soldier there that day and none of them can.
IPOB was busy lying to the whole world that Kanu and his parents were captured by soldiers while they were gallivanting all over the world

gidgiddy:
What did you expect him to do when Soldiers came to his house to kill him?

Evidence of a soldier in his compound that day, just one.
This your lie you've been trying to push down our throat can never stand.

Mrchido:
how is tompolo braver than kanu?since the inception of buhari regime tompolo as been in hiding and still is,kanu confronted the regime of buhari and on one occasion in court called buhari a mad man.

Then why did he stage manage his escape, abandoned his comrades in prison and IPOB lying to everyone ever since that the python was holding him and his parents?

gidgiddy:
Kanu's bail has been revoked so its most likely he will be arrested. Assuming that the Kanu family decide to bury their mother in Nigeria, there would be no point for Kanu to attend. The regime of Buhari wants to kill him

Nobody is planning to kill him, just tell him to attend the burial and shouldn't stage manage another 'invasion' by the Etilogwu dancers this time.

Eteka1:
Another point to note is that all the forex used to import all these goods to Benin Republic are sourced in Nigeria, thereby putting pressure on our exchange rates.

On point

vaxx:
Only Nigeria poorly trainned has this mindset. that is what a mediocre education birth

Still waiting till you close your border against Nigeria then you may reply me

netpro:
There are 3 major categories of people who don't like the border closure:

1. The Smugglers.
2. Those trading and profiting from smuggled goods.
3. Relatives, friends and investors to smugglers.

4. Asian farmers and their governments
5. Benin, Togo, Niger and Ghana governments

spinzagom:
The Government must reopen this boarders ASAP! The saying that no man is an island is real. We might need Ghana and other African countries in the nearest future, only God Knows. The country is not even safe and politically very unstable. Live and lets Live! when its set now they will pack their children and leave the poor ones here. How do u feel your neighbors are suffering because of your action? There are other means to check for Illegal smuggling. What now happens to the illegal routes without security personnel?

We don't need them for anything, how have you being feeling while they were feeling cool and we were feeling the heat, don't tell me you're a Ghanaian.
Everyman for himself for now, God for us all.

psychologygh:
foolish zoo,how is 80 million dollars of imports into your over populated 200 million zoo creatures affecting us.Continue posting these fake news saying a deputy minister in Ghana just to make your poverty capital of the world country to feel happy.No minister will ever say that much less a deputy minister.Go and help your starving zoo population or you think giving birth to 200 million hungry people is an achievement. I believe the generator fumes you keep inhaling is affecting your brains

Cry us a river, your ministers are everywhere begging their Nigerian counterparts and you on nairaland is forming Superman, I laff in Swahili

psychologygh:
40 years of oil production, you're now telling me a private business man whose total worth is less than 10 billion dollars will now save Nigeria upon the hundreds of billions of dollars of oil money your stupid politicians have squandered. Do you think he's father Christmas.He will rather make your nation the most expensive to live in just us he monopolies your cement industry. Do you people think at all.He has bought all your politician and besides that refinery he's claiming to build can't even supply 20% of your petrol demands.

You should be thinking about the effect of the border closure on your economy just like your ministers instead of developing headache about Dangote and Nigeria

vaxx:
Ghana leaders aren't short sighted .

Action is what is needed please, you can see Nigeria clipped your wings of false importance of yourselves, beg Nigeria just as your leaders are doing and Buhari and Nigerians may decide to forgive.

psychologygh:
foolish zoo creature,is the gas for free.You produce 2 million barrels of crude oil daily buh you still import all your petrol whilst you carry billions of dollars to subsidize it.Are you alright at all.Btw Ghana produces our own gas now to power our few plants which depends on gas.We have several our sourced of electricity.

Have you paid up on the one you were owing Nigeria before, if yes send us a link that Ghana is debt free in relation to trade with Nigeria

vaxx:
Simple logics says both nation needs each other. they have exchange commodity between each other for the past fifty years... Nigerians has a market of 200 million , Ghana on the hand has 30 million . something tells here , if the later must become fully industrialized, then she must have the former in minds because of the market....

Ghana too on the hand is preferable to Nigeria second ties city like ibadan or kano( Nigeria investors are willing to invest in Accra( A CITY less than four million) moderate market than having a chain of shops in kano or ibadan. and this 18 to 5 million respectively


Ghanaian leaders are known to talk diplomatically but actions is on the pipeline.

That action is what we want already and not online ranting

seankafor:
just take a moment of your time. I know those lowlifes ain't worth a penny of our time but for this take just 5 mins of your time and visit that link (ghanaweb or whatever).. go and see the gnashing of teeth happening there over small sneeze wey no even target them..
What if Buhari wakes up one day and decide that its Ghana he wants to face? That means those urchins will run to trump for rescue.

Their leaders who is at the helm of affairs who knows more than them are begging and licking our politicians shoes for mercy and compassion. Yet some lowlifes who are on freebasics thinks that they can throw tantrums on the internet knows better than their government.

I love this happening..its about time everyone knows his place in this life and act accordingly.

Ita bout time that giant of Africa is reignited.

We sure have our internal shortcomings but those stupid tiny local government of countries ain't got nothing on us

You summarized it all, let them continue to gnash their teeth, oga remains oga.

Those kids would come online and be making mouth upandan while their leaders are offline trying everything just to appease the Nigerian government

Just30:
as you can read in the budget,

all project done by government are done with money from Ghana consolidated fund (tax payers money)
or loans

Indeed

Just30:
when stupidity runs through you


you talk and act stupid



no wonder 100 miilion nigerians are extremely poor
and 7 million kids are malnourished in that zoo


Nigeria is completely bankrupt and begging China for money so that it can pay civil servants in the zoo

Last warning for the insults, your fellow Ghanaians having seen the truth all went and his their faces, yours is to be insulting.
I don't know if that's how kids are trained in Ghana

Just30:
if you cant read what is above, then you are really stupid

Anymore insult from you and you'd be reported
