Na your brain need reset. Official land borders are closed and not illegal borders. Seme and idiroko land borders are the most cost effective route for Ghanaian products into Nigeria and these are closed to importation from these neighbouring countries so where will Ghanaians pass apart from going through Cotonou to these land borders?

99.39% of Nigerian exports is by sea, let Ghana go through the sea too.

FemiMaduka:
I see a lot of people do not understand this piece of information. The gist is that Ghana, in the last three months, has become the biggest IMPORTER of Nigerian products. The value of the goods it bought FROM Nigeria was quoted as roughly $2.4bn.

If this is true, it only shows that Ghana depends far much more on Nigeria than Nigeria depends on it. The interesting aspect of this news is that it is reported that more than 97% of the goods that Ghana bought from Nigeria were non-petroleum articles. This is also a positive for Nigeria.

The relationship between any two African countries should be that of mutual respect, two-way productivity and shared brotherhood.

Now, we need to invest heavily in power, metallurgy, electronics and functional education/research. It is about time we made our companies competitive enough to break the South African hegemony in choice sectors.

Thanks abeg, you are one of the people that clearly understand the message being passed.

Guys go through that link, very long article so just take your time to, the link the OP gave is a shortened one.

You'd see under mode of transportation of our exports, 99.39% was by sea, that is why we've never heard about any Nigerian complaining about the borders unlike our leeching neighbours who prefer land so that they can smuggle things in.

Wickedfacts:
For the blockheads saying it's a lie and asking if the goods magically appeared in Nigeria, those goods were obviously shipped into Nigeria by sea.

This means Ghana was a country of origin for several smuggled goods.

Exactly, that's why the border closure affected them so much.

GENEGIRIA:
nigeria our yeye distant neighbour. how market? now you nigerians will know how important Ghana is to the Nigerian economy

[s][/s]

Lol, Ghana important to Nigeria indeed, FYI, Nigeria exports mostly industrial goods to Ghana and we export over 99% of our goods through the sea, so the land border closure doesn't really affect our economy.

You import from Nigeria because you don't have the capacity and technical know-how that Nigerians possess to produce them and importing from Asia or Europe would be more expensive for you, your only option is Nigeria.

Ghana is the first place of destination for our exports but not in the top five for our imports, meaning we practically produce everything Ghana produces.

Stop the imports of industrial goods from Nigeria and your economy crumbles, we are not mates.

Even with your 24/7 electricity, you still can't beat Nigeria in industrial products, bunch of noise makers. The balance of trade would definitely be in favour of Nigeria with a wide margin.

ksat:
I hope Nigerians will now see the importance of the Ghanaian economy to them. This piece of data should serve valuable lessons to most who come to rant their ignorance on this platform.

No one country is an island. we depend on each other for sustainable growth. if the Ghanaian economy grows and does well, its good for the entire west African states, because if a Nigerian company has the option to send its produce to nearby Ghana and USA, it will be a cheaper and wiser business decision to go to Ghana.

So henceforth, lets be circumspect and respectful of each other. If Ghana alone is consuming 17% of your entire export value, it should tell you something about the strength of the Ghanaian economy.

17% because they can't produce those goods themselves and importing from afar would be more expensive so Ghana has no option than to request for those goods from Nigeria.

Ghana is not even in the first 5 of countries we import from because they do not have the capacity to produce for themselves but we have the capacity, how much more exporting to Nigeria so the Ghanaian economy has no strength and if Ghana decides to export to Nigeria. Ghana needs Nigeria more because they get cheaper imports from Nigeria, let them come through our seaports instead of crying for the land borders to be reopened.

With your 24/7 electricity supply, I thought Ghana should be exporting more industrial goods to Nigeria but the reverse is the case

Sanchez01:
And if we check well , I'm sure you are yet to know what to eat for lunch let alone have your lunch.

If he had imported the trucks, I am dead sure you would have branded him an enemy of the Igbo people. Now that he patronized Anammco, you're claiming they shouldn't have sold a thing to him. If this isn't madness, then I'd be amazed at what is.

Is it that some of you can't see the sarcasm in his post?

So 99.39% of our export is by water and some people are have been telling us that Nigeria's trade with the rest of ECOWAS would be hampered with land border closure. No wonder no company in Nigeria had complained about the closure aside our leeching neighbours

Mandeyy:
It's a lie! Ebonyi State civil servants are the lowest paid. You people shouldn't be feeding us with lies. It's not good.

How much is a level 10 civil servant in Ebonyi and Anambra paid? Make your research and get the result you need and not this baseless argument.

Solsix:
Oga stop lying nah fear God small. Willie obiano is even paying people who work in the village extra. Teachers who teach, English, maths and other science subjects are paid extra. I wonder how many states can do that

I'm not lying bro, I know about the extra pay but it still doesn't mean the teachers are not the least paid

Solsix:
I stay in Anambra and I know what am saying

Go to the teaching hospital Amaku or any general hospital if you are true to yourself.
I know most of of you want everyone to see Anambra in good light but we need to be honest to ourselves sometimes

Solsix:
So all of them resigned at once went home and sat down doing nothing. Sometimes I wonder if some people think at all. No doubt the pay might not be compared to what some states or even federal pay, but there was never a time 46 doctors resigned same time. Each of them resigned when the get a better offer. That is the argument

Do you stay in Anambra or you're just saying what you think is the ideal, do you know some of the doctors one on one and asked?

Mandeyy:
Show us the link to their salary information since you're sure they're paid such an amount of money. Stop talking trash. They didn't resign together. Be reasonable for once. Besides, I'm not in support of poor working condition, but to say that they resigned together is a lie.

What I posted wasn't what I just made up and this doesn't need links because I heard it not from one or two doctors, if you live in Anambra, just go to any general hospital and make enquiries.

Mandeyy:
give us the link when it happened during Obi's administration and where it was stated that Anambra State is one of the states that pays lowest to civil servants.

No need arguing, Anambra civil servants are the lowest paid in the country, if you have friends or relations who are in service, you can ask them.

duncun:
Do you prefer to hear she's Igbo..so you can rest your bile?

She's British with some Igbo ancestry, yes or no?
You filled with hate and bile is talking

duncun:
What do you mean

What kind of question is that, is she a Nigerian?

mrvitalis:
Because she is Igbo right ?

She's British please

stasius:
Why can't they get 100%?

What is 70 percent of salary? .

They are actually paid about 40%, these are facts I know because I mingle with some of them.

Afamed:
That's why I don't listen to their on line ranting. Anambra is one of the states that pays lowest to civil servant in Nigeria. This is not hearsay, I witnessed it in 2011, when these Medical doctors in Anambra went on strike for over 6 months, during Peter Obi tenure

Doctors in Anambra state are the least paid in the country both at the teaching hospital and those in the state civil service

Solsix:
Nna eh u are difficult to teach. The hospital is a state government hospital, if any doctor get a federal job or a job abroad won't he quit??

Please keep quiet if you don't know what to say instead of trying to mislead the public, they resigned together.
Earlier this year they embarked on a strike because of the poor pay, how can a resident doctor in the hospital be earning 140-150k per month and his colleagues in other teaching hospitals both state and federal are earning 200-300k monthly?
Even the doctors in the state civil service even earn less.

clily:

Nothing in Onitsha as we speak

Typical Nigerian who only thinks of cheating others, most Nigerians are like you trying to cheat the system and would turn around to blame the government for everything.
Soon everyone will learn from you and would stop coming home on time in order not to pay as well

Numerouno94:
In essence wat re u tryin to say? Cos u sound lyk an illiterate.u sound lyk a local nd primitive being. Which skul did u graduate frm? Uni? Poly? Or C.O.E?. Dat is if u hv even attended any higher institution. Who is ur father? Whats ur family name? See i dnt want to insult anybody 2day oo. Respect ur stupid nd foolish self.

Are you not even ashamed of yourself, was this how you were taught to write the English language?
A typical case of kettle calling pot black.

enemybulldozer:
The true born haters of Igbos are you afonjas.
The role your god awolowo played during and after the civil war is still fresh in our memories. The quit notice you made mention of was because, Igbos are tired of sharing a country with you afonjas and want biafra as a result of that.

Afonjas have been fighting Igbos since time immemorial without placing on finger on where Igbos went wrong to deserve such injustices. Am not saying this for you to see reasons with me nor to plead to you afonjas to stop fighting and hating Igbos.

What happened in 1967 will not happen again in your favour go and mark it somewhere. That the world came to aid Nigeria in defeating Biafra does not mean that such rubbish will repeat itself again. So stop consoling yourself with that kind thrash.

Lastly, when did the SS minorities gave Igbos quit notice?? I know that you afonjas are good in lies and propaganda but not to this extent.

Insecurity and inferiority complex at its peak, the north gave you an ultimatum, it is because of afonja, the SS gave you another, afonja again.

Always chest beating with no substance, we all thought that by now, you'd have burnt down the zoo, what's still holding you back?

@ the bolded, if you were born before the war, I'm sure that when the war started, that's what you'd be saying and chest beating but what finally happened? Try the stunt next time and 1967-1970 would be like seeing kids playing in a park.

Yujin:
You and I know that an average Igbo man is strong and fearless. You personally can hardly face a challenge from an Igbo man of your weight because you inherently know you'll lose. We're no e-warriors. It is naturally within us. As for Biafra, she will soon come. That's why millions of us have keyed into her establishment with all that we've got. We totally believe.

Normal chest beating and grandstanding,
strong and fearless and Kanu ran away like a rat.
Let the phantom Biafra come today and stop telling us soon

horsepower101:
My point was incomplete.

Nigeria threatened ECOWAS several times that it will withdraw its contributions if ECOWAS ruled in favor of Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB.

Plus ECOWAS budget is struggling to meet up its needs.

It doesn’t take rocket science to see that they have no choice at this point in history to rule in favor of Nigerian Government.

Can you kindly give us a link to the bolded?

IPOBians how market?
You said you know that the ECOWAS court will support Nigeria then why wasting time, money and energy taking the case there in the first place?
Typical IPOB way, acting before reasoning.
