It is also important to note that the NBS classifies those engaged in agriculture as “employed” and this could be a factor as to why unemployment rate in the South South is high. This is because South South states like Akwa Ibom do not have the land mass needed for large scale farming compared to states in the North.

The farming excuse doesnt fly considering lagos exist and agricultural gdp is relatively high for it's size. The unemployment is high because their economies are diversified enough among services and manufacturing enough. The state should be focusing on attracting investors and jobs training programs at it's universities. They're pretty much banking on the port to solve their problems.

The said law came barely 3 years ago and the traders have been in Ghana for years.

It's actually 7 years ago. New people shouldn't go into business there. If you're arguing it shouldn't be applied retroactively that's up to the courts to decide. Again no point begging take your tax revenue back to country that wants your business.

1 spot Im interested in as a thought experiment is southern Kaduna. They seem to be mostly Christian and culturally different from the rest of the state. They could opt to join another state thst shares their ethno religious demography. Assuming they did I dont know if it help reduce crime though.

Interesting

This is happening despite the intervention of the presidents of Ghana and Nigeria through the Economic Community of West African States.

Lol did the Ghanaian president say we'll disregard the law for Nigeria and ECOWAS. What ECOWAS protocol does Ghana's law break? Nigeria has similar laws on the books.

The Ghanaian Ministry of Trades has rejected claims of unfair treatment by Nigerian traders in the country during the enforcement of the Ghana Investment Promotion Council regulations.
It insisted that the traders must pay the required taxes and other fees imposed on them by the authorities.

Lol why do Nigerians want to do those type of businesses if you know these are their laws. Nigerians whining and complaining reaks of desperation. Return back to Nigeria if you're not willing to obey their laws. Honestly this stance was pretty easy to see coming considering the election is coming up. GUTA has been complaining bitterly about this since 2018.

NaijaOlosho:
Checked your profile

It was just a kid I saw, no wonder.

You are less than 17years and should not be in this platform until you are 18

Your foolish is too much. Just keep your cock sucker closed unless you're being paid to be stupid. You clowns really have nothing intelligent to say.

NaijaOlosho:
So you are now the only Ghanaian in this platform right?

U carry Naija matter for your head??

Alright continue you are been noticed

Lol you guys are reason like mumus. If someone doesn't agree with criminality they're Ghanians by default. You criminal apologist are truly pathetic.

Owners of property adjacent to the Akanu Ibiam International Airport Enugu that were demolished recently by one Arch. John J. Emejulu have cried out to the federal government to come to their rescue.

Enugu doesn't have courts or land registry? I wonder why they not calling the state to handle these local gangsters. These guys can't be allowed to operate with impunity.

Note this idiot was duly elected twice.

What an idiotic statement by the mumu governor. Buhari is the commander in chief so the buck stops at his desk? People have been asking him to fire those service chiefs for years and he refused.

Lol what a mumu you are. It seems you cant help it. The Ghanaian authorities didnt refuse to investigate or prosecute the case because the victim is Nigerian or perpetrator is Ghanian. If the country is dangerous stop going. You clowns are too foolish. Keep posting random pictures and articles since you have nothing intelligent to say.

topboss:
AM FOOLISH FOR SAYING NIGERIA SHOULD FOLLOW IN GHANA FOOTSTEPS?


DID U SEE ME BEG U NOT TO DEPORT ANYBODY OR LOCK SHOP?


IT IS ONLY APPROPRIATE NIGERIA FOLLOW SUIT WITH GHANIANS HERE IN NIGERIA.

Lol you're such a clown. First it's about wanting Ghana to leave ECOWAS now it's different story. What nuisance was ghana causing that had you begging them to leave ECOWAS. If you have an issue ask your leaders to leave ECOWAS or enforce laws on your books. There's no need to whine because others enforce their laws.

GboyegaD:
Where did you infer this in the post? Illegal could mean many things.

Did you read past the headline?

A total of 54 Nigerians arrested for unlawful entry into Ghana through unapproved routes along the Ghana-Togo frontier are awaiting repatriation, officials of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) have said.

GboyegaD:
We are being ridiculed by every nation. How do they mean illegal entry? Don't they have their ECOWAS passport? Ghana should please be more explicit to make us understand their crime(s).

What don't you understand. Illegal entry means they didnt meet immigration officials at designated checkpoint. They went in through the bush. Even if you have evowas passport you have to come correctly.

All these clowns had to do was obey the law. What's so hard about obtaining a passport and going through legal entry point. Not every country is like nigeria that allows any foreigner enter anyhow like the herdsmen.

Enoch07:
even Ghana!!!

Especially Ghana you mean. They had Nigerians crying last year becsuse they deported 723 people. They not playing games anymore it seems.

A total of 54 Nigerians arrested for unlawful entry into Ghana through unapproved routes along the Ghana-Togo frontier are awaiting repatriation, officials of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) have said.

The illegal travellers are currently in the custody of Aflao Sector Command of the GIS.

They were apprehended at various unapproved routes within the last ten days and detained at the arrival hall of the Aflao GIS, pending their repatriation to their home country.

Aflao Sector Commander of the GIS, Frederick Baah Duodu, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the Service had begun processes to enable the illegal travellers to be deported to their home country. 

"On Friday, July 10, some three officials from the Nigerian High Commission in Ghana led by one Daniel Tonibor were at Aflao to ascertain the arrest and condition of their compatriots in custody," he said.

Duodu said the suspects could spend some more time in custody to complete the processes for a successful repatriation exercise.

"The Nigerian officials in the country will have to activate processes to get an approval letter from the Togo and Benin Embassies. Of course, they will need to visit Ghana's Foreign Affairs Ministry to undergo some procedures to acquire laissez-passer for their citizenry.

"Besides, the suspects had undergone port health screening processes with their samples taken for COVID-19 test, which results are yet to arrive," he added.

The Sector Commander said though the arrival hall was not meant to serve as custody for illegal travellers, the circumstances had compelled the Command to keep the travellers there and assured that the officers were on alert to protect the borders.

hisgrace090:
But this their new law gives no room for ECOWAS protocols of retailing ECOWAS made goods at all.

What protocols are you referring to? This law doesn't stop anyone from exporting goods to Ghana if we're talking about the ECOWAS Trade Liberalization Scheme. Nigeria is free to sue if they believe it does.

Lawlessness Nigerians are an embarrassment.
I see why Ghana cracks down on Nigerians when it comes to deportations. Certain people have to understand not every country will coddle criminals. This is especially true when they play victim after committing a crime. If you cant live by their rules just return to Nigeria it's not that hard.

Bro, you can't be in Ecowas and have such a law. Ecowas is like EU, there are laws governing member countries in terms of economics, movement and trade.

Lol can Nigeria talk when it has enforced import bans and border closures? What in the ECOWAS bylaws prevents them from having this law?

Bump

What happened to DICON? Make your own stop being beggars.

Aristokells24:
After closing Nigeria shops in Accra for 8 months and asking them to pay some amount of money, some policemen are here again locking up the Nigerian shops here in Circle Accra for no reason. This oppression must stop because I believe the reason for this is because our government no longer care for the citizens here in Ghana.

Ghana has laws against foreigners owning retail shops. Nigeria has no business whining over them enforcing laws. If they feel it breaks ECOWAS protocols they can sue. Lol but Nigeria does the same sort of things with import vans and border closures.

Your story just proves Ghanian police are corrupt losers who will look the other way for a decent bribe. Lol it's funny Ghanians tolerate this foolishness. They wont vote out the losers who wont enforce their laws rigidly.

Ak47 is meant for operation..
pistol mm should be legalize self defence,ASAP..........

You guys like making up pointless distractions between these weapons. Guns can be used for what ever purpose you need. An Ak is great self defense weapons. Try charging into a home with one if you disagree.

Lol too many casted pussies on this thread. Its funny how people cry day and night buhari and the governor isn't protecting you but wont defend yourselves. It's your right a to defend yourself if you hard others you'll naturally be arrested and prodescured.

We already have ability to buy guns. What's needed is ability to buy semi automatic weapons. Responsible citizens are simply law abiding citizens without a criminal record.

Osagyefo98:
Don't blame him because I keep on saying that half education is totally dangerous especially when obtained in a rural secondary school...

where he comes from, that's how they behave. always looking for who to drag along in the mud.

Oh well it's part of his clown culture to be willfully ignorant. The word he's looking for is diverse not cosmopolitan. He's decided to die on this hill so there's no helping him.

Afam4eva:
I said what i said. Deal with it.

Ok uneducated clown expose your foolishness.

Afam4eva:
You're the one who has comprehension deficiency because you either do not ready or find it hard absorbing information else you would see where i stated MY OWN CRITERIA. I had to write it in bold this time, so you wouldn't miss it.

Lol you're such a clown pick up dictionary check for yourself. You're using big words you dont understand. Google Oxford, cambridge and Webster are all wrong because you invented the word clown. The word cosmopolitan is subjective like the word best. It already has an established meaning to English speakers.

Afam4eva:
That's actually a sh1t definition, no offence to whatever dictionary that is. Cosmopolitan simply means diverse, it doesn't have to be specific to people from different countries alone.

Lol its funny you're exposing you're ignorance here after calling people uneducated. You've been using the word wrong if that's whst you think it means.

Osagyefo98:
I don't understand thee guy at all


Nigeria educational curriculum needs total overhauling.

The guy clearly a mumu. Simple words he doesn't understand. He thinks the word cosmopolitan is subjective like the word best. What makes a city or state cosmopolitan cant be people of the same nationality all residing there. Even when knowledge is free but the clown wants to be an ignoramus.
