Wahl then that put Nigeria at a disadvantage of 200 dollars , meaning Ghana are 200 dollars richer than Nigeria..... so me tell me who is the daddy here ?

If 50% of Ghanaians are worth $1 million and 10% of Nigerians are worth same, that means 14 million Ghanaians and 20 million Nigerians, which still has the bigger market? Remember I just used 50% for Ghana and 10% for Nigeria.

Don't ever compare Nigeria and your small Ghana, go to your mates like Côte d'ivoire, Cameroon, Kenya, Tanzania, Senegal etc, we know our mates.

Tetehjewels:
Pathetic is an understatement

They'd still come online to brag with Nigeria, the Nigerien president apologized and banned the movement of smuggled rice into Nigeria in order for Nigeria to open the border with them, instead of small boy Ghana to be begging their little sister Benin to do the needful, they are busy bragged with Nigeria online but offline their officials are going about begging

Tetehjewels:
The funny thing here is that Nigerians, ivorians source for coconuts from Ghana due to our high population demand so we can make creams from it which we ship back to Ghana to buy while all they do with their coconuts is roaming around busy markets with wheelbarrows of these coconuts looking for who would buy them for 1 to 2 cedi so they can cut it open and drink the water.

They hardly think about bigger business but are just content with that daily small small change they can eat with for that day.

Very pathetic fellows

vaxx2:
You simply ask who is crying? and I show you fellow nigerians who have consider their fellow country men a saboteur in Ghana . See Nigeria understand the economy prowess of Ghana and how viable it is hence the opening of the so called temporary corridor.

Ghanaians always begging, I thought some of you threatened to close your border too.

Remember that we've not heard the last from Buhari, all we saw in your post are Ghanaian officials

vaxx2:
You lack basic economics inteligence. to look at how a country is rich averagely, you check in GDP ppp per capital against purchasing power. if your purchasing power is strong and your gjdd ppp per capital is weak then you are poor . it is simple it is not about your purchasing power only but your GDP ppp per capital that matter.

You were the one who bragged about your mere $200 billion and I gave you that for Nigeria as $1.2 trillion and you started rushing to GDP PPP.

vaxx2:
Don't you see it is Nigerian dealing in the coconut trade, it is Nigeria plying to take over the business and fighting over from their fellow nigerians

Some Nigerians taking over from some other Nigerians and Ghanaians as you insinuated, how does that story fit into what is being discussed here?

vaxx2:
why don't you check the GDP ppp per capital rate ? you don't just factor in purchasing power alone.

You talked about your mere $200 billion purchasing power and I gave you that of Nigeria that can swallow the whole of West Africa, open another thread for per capita and we die there

This is the people crying anyway......


The Nigeria Coconut Traders are accusing their Ghanaian counterparts of preventing them from fully accessing the Ghanaian coconut industry.

According to them, some Ghanaian coconut exporters together with a few Nigerians have formed a cartel to prevent new investors from contacting coconut producers and marketers in Ghana.

Currently, Ghana produces about 60 percent of the coconut consumed in Nigeria.

Secretary of the Lagos State Coconut Traders Association of Nigeria Hupatin Akpetunde who disclosed this in an interview with Citi Business News says the cartels use security forces and associations to prevent others from entering the market.

“The cartel is an issue. We realised that some segments of people are now trying to thwart our efforts of investing in the coconut market. The cartel is operated in such a manner that very few people want to control the market without allowing others. They do this through the use of security forces and associations.”


He believes with the high demand of coconut in Nigeria which has a population of about 200 million, Ghanaians can export more to that country if the market is made more accessible.

“Presently we have an Agricultural and Industrial revolution in Nigeria, and that has created a vacuum whereby we don’t have enough coconut to satisfy our market, hence we look at the neighboring West African countries and having tested Ghanaian coconut we have seen it as very rich. The quality of the food is satisfactory and the size is also acceptable in the Nigerian market.”

He says the situation is rather worrying and hinders trade within the region.

“The African economy will grow if we all invest and integrate ourselves into it.”

The traders who visited Ghana for the International Coconut Festival have therefore been meeting with their Ghanaian counterparts to discuss the issue.


This development comes at a time when Ghanaian traders are also complaining about the closure of Nigeria borders which has left millions of Ghanaian goods stuck in Benin.

The total annual production of coconut currently stands at approximately 229 million pieces of coconuts, equivalent to between 350,000 to 400,000 metric tonnes; majority of which is consumed domestically.

The Ghana Exports Promotion Authority has therefore announced plans to promote and expand the acreages for coconut cultivation to take advantage of the increasing demand on the international markets.

This is not in tandem with what we are talking about, these ones here are talking about how some Nigerians and Ghanaians are preventing them from the Ghanaian coconut industry.
So 60% of the coconut consumed in Nigeria is actually from Ghana and you guys go behaving as you don't want Nigeria's huge market? Buhari has really dealt with you guys this time, una go hear am

Nigerians import virtually everything even common salt is imported into Nigeria and this is taken billions of dollars .

.....then why is Ghana still crying and begging over the border closure?

Nigeria imports-$36.5billion
Population-201 million
Per capita import- $181

Ghana imports-$13 billion
Population-28 million
Per capita import-$464

Who depends on imports more to survive and are generally lazy? No wonder your cedi is getting more worthless everyday

What a stupid understanding, You actually don't know about the operative of the medical care than me. the health care programme is simply an insurance portfolio cover by Ghana ministry of health. it is basically free once you are insured for a maximum of a year at the rate of twenty cedis ( not up to two thousand naira). and regarding the funeral, that is Ghana culture, instead of arguing like a slowpoke, check mortality rate in Nigeria and Ghana to know who dies more often.

You are so stupid, what is wrong in promoting alternative health care? what Nigerians are demanding to pay for in high demand . the idiot even say herbal care is not a proper care, what a brain do you have up there ? Ghanaian loves their tradition the reason you see them using Ankara for shirt or even suits .


Wherever you come in Nigeria will definitely be worst. Nigerians. village are known to be worst. even common light is even a luxury? those guys still avoid laterine but Nigerians they rather use the bush part....tell me which Ghana village is not connected to national grid?


Wherever you live is not my basic headache, it is your own problem and find solution to that....the fact still remain, you don't have a better life wherever you are hence your farming work in the village. Nigerians even live in more chaotic place . the village life. will have been better. sleeping under the bridge without bathing for days is not something to proud of.


stop fooling yourself, Nigerians simply harbour poor citizens in the world because of bad governance which have erupted your country for ages . check Ghana GDP per capital and Ghana GDP ppp per capital to know who is the richest? you don't claim you are richer when statistics suggest otherwise.... Are Nigerians more than India or Indonesia. Ghana is the first country to first halve its poverty in sub Saharan Africa..... how is it a poor country. Ghana has a purchasing power of 200 billion for just 28 million citizens , making it stronger than kenya and a bigger country like Uganda or Tanzania and you called that a poor country. are you daft or simply ignorant?


My lagos to Abuja experience is just a sample . you may need to visit and see pool of beggars known as almanjiri untie entire north . Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world . this is unbeatable ......

Nigeria's purchasing power is over 1.2 trillion dollars for just 200 million people, take your comparison to those countries you mentioned because Nigeria alone can swallow you all in one fell swoop.

vaxx2:
see Nigerians are the problem of themselves.... Nigerians are the one importing used cloth, they are the importing rice , they are also the one importing old cars. benin buisness men are not into it . they only facilitate the buisness, it is Nigerians who helps the goods down to Nigerians. so blame Nigerians in this as well.


And again, what is taking the larger chunk is the import of Nigeria refined oil. Nigeria lacks the capacity to refined its own fuel hence importation. Ghana once import refined fuel into Nigeria once or twice.

Ghana cant leech on Nigeria, it is expensive to do that.....it is rather the other way round...

.... and who has been crying and complaining ever since our borders got shut?

Just30:
is it that you are stupid or you dont know maths?

13 billion for 30 million people and 35 billion for 201 million people
which one is greater ?

It shows that 201 million can produce much of what they need than a mere 28 million that need to import virtually everything they need.
You can help by giving us national imports per capita for both countries to know that Ghana is not productive

vaxx2:
The problem wirh you guys is, you argue like an iliiterate. you are easily swindled by what you see instead of typical analyst. Nigeria is one of the highest leading imoprter in africa Anyway check the statistics .Given Nigeria’s population of 201 million people, its total 36.5 billion dollar in 2018 imports will translates to roughly 180 in yearly product demand from every Nigerians living in Nigeria, now do the calculation of Ghana total import of 13 billion dollar among 28 million people . and tell me who import more per head?

Nigeria Even import salt from Brazil, coconut from Ghana...lol....

They are lazy and would prefer to import everything and dump the excess into Nigeria.
Imagine $36.5 billion for a population of 201 million people and compare to $13 billion for 28 million people. Lazy people who are always ready to leech on Nigeria.

Just30:
you are comparing the freely floating cedi that took 15 years to depreciate to where it is now to a currency naira
that depreciated in two months

Free floating and you're not ashamed, the Japanese yen and South Korean won are free floating too but are not depreciating.
The cedis has been depreciating from when it was redenominated since over the last 15 years. Even if we agree that it only depreciated in the last two months, why from 0.92 to over 5 cedis, just under two months.
The Chinese Yuan is not free floating but tell us how the Ghanaian economy is better than theirs or even that of Nigeria

Doc10q:
Chai! Nigerians are indeed foolish. No wonder nnadi kanu said there is something definitely wrong with a black man's way of reasoning.
So all this while u people have been yapping online, u never stopped to asked your stupid brains this question...if this man(nnadi kanu) could disappear out of nigeria without a single soul knowing how it happened or when it happened up till now, what stops him from sneaking back into nigeria, bury his mother properly(maybe he sent his people to do it)and head back to broad again without a single soul finding out. U people are really underestimating this man. What u people need to know is that this man is way more intelligent and smart beyond any reasonable limit.
U people did not stop to ask yourelf this question...if nnadi kanu's mother died since Aug 30th, why is he announcing it on Oct 20th? The answer is simple! Because d man is insanely smart! He knows that if he announce d death of his mother on that very month that she died, that nigeria government will be on Alert and be waiting for him to come back because they know that he wud come back to bury his mother. That's why he did not announce it at that time it happened. This is jus a simple brain work! . But becos we africans don't reason very well, our minds never crossed that thought.

Now let me tell u what this man did. His mother died on 30th Aug. He did not announce it at that moment. Instead he peacefully came back secretly and undetected(or maybe he sent his people preferably) within d time space of August(d month she died) and September and did all d proper burial right for his mother and then flew back home to abroad(in secret). Then on October this month he made d announcement when he must have finished burying her in nigeria without anybody knowing. So now that he has made d announcement, some foolish people and illiterate buhari will now be on alert waiting for him to com back to nigeria to bury his mother meanwhile the man has already finished that along time ago and went about his business! If not, do u think with d kind of man he is, he wud leave his dear mother in a foreign land to rot? Or even bury her in a foreign land? I don't think so. The man had already buried his mother in nigeria precisely in his father's compound without anyone knowing a beep about that. Some of u wud still be expecting to see him in nigeria to come & bury his mother, but u will wait till eternity because the man had already his mother in nigeria before anybody got to know about it

This man jus played everybody a big one! He did nigerians d more you look, the less you see!

May God receive her wonderful soul in heaven. RIP the mother of a born hero.

Let's assume that what you said was right and he had secretly buried his mother, what happened to the "we are formidable, we are resolute" noise? Never knew he's that scared of that prison experience and wouldn't want to go in there again and that was why he abandoned his comrades in prison

IGBOSON1:
This dumb post here sums up exactly what's wrong with the shithole Nigeria! A so called 'fellow compatriot' justifying illegality and oppression b'cos the target is someone he despises!

Mazi Kanu was due in court in a few days time, when the federal gov't could have applied for his bail to be revoked if they had any misgivings about it, yet the federal gov't sent armed Fulani soldiers storming down to the sleepy village of Afaraukwu to bypass the courts and 'sort the problem out themselves'! Mazi Kanu and IPOB got wind of their diabolical plans for him and he was rightly spirited out of the country! Now we have someone justifying this act of illegality by the executive b'cos he feels the continued existence of his 'one Nigeria' is threatened!

If the so called 'unity' and corporate existence of 'one Nigeria' can't stand up to the rigours of the rule of law, then what does tha say about the sanity and civility of such a country?

He was spirited away from Nigeria, we agree but why was IPOB lying all the while about his whereabout? They were busy lying and some ignorant miscreants went protesting for his release, some were killed, maimed, imprisoned and for some, nobody knows their whereabout. Why lying to your followers?

We all know that the so called invasion of his compound was all stage managed by Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB and the abduction of him and and his parents were all false.

IPOB should stop feeding lies and propaganda to her gullible followers

wirinet:
That's why I am laughing louder than a hyena when someone says Ghanaian economy is better managed than Nigeria. Ghana Cedi that was redenominated in 2007 due to hyper inflation . Ghana Cedi had a 20,000 note before the redenomination.To make the cedi look strong, they removed 4 zeros from their currency, so 20,000 GHC became 2cedis.
Even with the redenominations, inflation has continued to devalue the currency.

After the redenomination GHC0.92 exchanged for one $1, today GHC5.48 exchange for $1, a 700% increase. In comparison, N120 exchanged for $1 in 2007, today it's at N360, that's a 400% increase.

Very apt, their currency is so useless and continues to depreciate .
Virtually everything is so expensive and not as if their disposable income is higher than that of Nigeria.
Naira from 120 to 360(about 3times depreciation) to a dollar and cedis from 0.92 to 5.48(about 6times depreciation) to a dollar and they feel they are making progress better than Nigeria.
Nigeria could decide to remove 2 zeros from the naira and an American dollar becomes 3 naira 60 kobo today.
The South Korean won is over 1,200 to a dollar and the Japanese yen over 120, I guess Ghanaians in the house can explain how their economy is better than than those of Japan and South Korea

gidgiddy:
Kanu was busy preaching hate and that's why he was proscribed? And the Heardsmen were busy killing people, that's why they will get Ruga.

Everyone on earth has threatened to kill another person, whether in anger or frustration or even hatred, we have all done it severally. If that is the crime, we should all be in jail.

Kanu, IPOB and all her supporters should all be in jail for promoting a terrorist group.

Jibsy203:

gidgiddy:
How does an unarmed man constitute a threat to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the nation? Nigeria is a country with over 400, 000 armed forces including police, Army, Navy and Airforce. Yet an unarmed Nnamdi Kanu in his house in Umuahia is who your country thinks is a threat? All the armed bandits in the North, Boko Haram, Herdsmen and their AK47and Niger Delta militants, it is Nnamdi Kanu who doesnt even have a catapult that your federal government think is a threat to Nigeria's sovereignty?

That's why Nigeria is a joke.





This is very foolish talk. You think America is as backwards as Nigeria? Below are American confederates calling for the break up of America, openly flying the Confederate flag, and wearing the type of uniforms their grandfathers wore to fight the American civil war. Nobody sent the Army after them, none of them are arrested, even the police are there to protect them and prevent break down of law and order. Everybody recognises their right to express themselves.

Nigeria is just too backward

At least these ones weren't preaching hate and death to other Americans unlike Kanu and IPOB and that was the major reason it was proscribed and labeled a terrorist group. I've even told you several times in the past that threat to life in Nigeria is a crime and you can ask a 100 level law student or police officer and they'd tell you that, instead you go repeating same lies as if it would change anything

huptin:
I didn't mention GEJ, GEJ presided over a relatively buoyant economy, I am talking of Obasanjo who inherited a totally run down economy yet didn't run the economy into recession despite oil selling at $9 per barrel, the average oil price during his own tenure was almost the same as Buhari, though by the time he was leaving oil had risen to $75 per barrel, yet the economy recorded sustained growth, the middle class emerged within a short period and he never recorded a single day of economic recession! Buhari has presided over a period of harsh economic reality but his lack of Ingenius management skills has led the nation thus far! the naira was devalued by over 100%, prices of goods increased by over 100% yet minimum wage remains the same, why won't Nigeria become the poverty capital of the world?

The period of low oil price during OBJ's era was relatively short unlike that of Buhari that lasted longer and hasn't even recovered fully, he increased the foreign reserve from less than $30 billion he met to over $43 billion today if not more than that. If the price of oil can hover around the value during OBJ's time, Buhari would do better.
Economists both local and foreign all predicted about the recession irrespective of whoever wins, have you forgotten that GEJ had to borrow between February and April 2015 just to pay for salaries, doesn't that tell you that the economy was already in coma?

huptin:
Who devalued the naira to such extent? Didn't we have an administration that inherited a reserve of $5bn and debt of $38bn with oil selling @ $9 yet increased minimum wage without much furore in less than a year, paid back the debts and increased reserves to $45bn? How can Buhari be the best if he couldn't manage a reserve of $30bn oil price @ $30, national debt of less than $12bn, yet within 6 months he had run down the economy into recession, hope you know that if somehow the economy runs into another recession under Buhari, he would have broken the global record of being the first man in the world to run his nation's economy into a recession for a third time

Who devalued the dollars and pounds too?

Are you saying that the foreign reserve suddenly started growing when oil was still selling at $9 per barrel? GEJ met a combined reserve (foreign and ECA) of about $64 billion but left behind less than $30 billion, this was at a time when oil was about $100-140 per barrel. What miracle do you want now when oil is averaging just above $50 BPD?
Recession occurred because oil price fell and since GEJ didn't save, Buhari had to restrict our expenditure and withdrawals from our reserve which led to the recession. Okonjo, Sanusi, Soludo etc all predicted about the recession even before the 2015 election so stop thinking it all started with no foundations.

Reciprocate then or are we begging you not to?
Since the border closure is of utmost importance to Ghana, Ghana should be hitting it hard on Benin republic her baby sister to do the right thing because BIG DADDY Nigeria has spoken and that's final.

Could you please help us do the borrowings in dollars and at the same time help us with our revenue and exports all in dollars so that we can compare year to year since 2008.

Remember that the value of the US dollar today is depreciating in value as well
$100 in 1980 is same as $311 today.
