I guess you stuck with me ill always have an opinion

What's wrong with having Authentic African village feel? It's a good thing many people love that and it's unique, many people from the US love it, same as Tanzania. There's an American vlogger who has been to both countries and love them so much.

They used to big cities, going to Accra is something different, Accra is a beautiful city in its own way it is not lagos or Nairobi. It has development like any capital city.

Ghana being bigger than me and my entire generation that's your opinion.

African American will come there cos of many slaves coming from west africa.

Look stating my experience don't be mad at me, I'm stating my experience.

Stop being sensitive
Relax

Anyway how are you

am even out of words.I can't even get angry again.Listen,don't take our laidback,calm attitude and nature to shade or disrespect us.I just feel that your level of disrespect to Ghana is up the roofs and you're still repeating these lines to us.Just keep shut about Ghana.

Accra doesn't have anything like a village feel which I deem it insulting to take our calm laidback nature as people who're inactive and unproductive with no level of advancement in technology or wealth which is the interpretation of village feel which is completely laughable and never true.

Accra is among the most productive, progressive, wealthiest, advanced cities in Africa and regardless of it's minimal 2 million population which doesn't even makes it top 15 most populated cities in Africa.Accra is considered among the 10 richest cities in Africa with total wealth of 38 billion dollars which is larger than the GDP of Uganda which has a population of over 40 million people which is more than Ghana.

Accra is a high prime city and definitely never underdeveloped so your point is very irritating to me.We don't need your opinion about Ghana cos your energy is very negative.Accra standard of living,progressive frature,development is better than that of Nairobi with over 5 million desperate population and housing the largest slums in Africa. That city can never be better than Accra even in the next 100 years.Don't mistaken chaos, overpopulated cities with developed advanced cities. Jarkata and Manila are over populated,over vibrant cities with huge skylines and massive pollution by human and industrial activities unlike say Vancouver, Berlin,Amsterdam buh it doesn't make the former better than the latter.

Accra has the highbrow very affluent neighbourhoods,a massive commercial central business district, massive commercial towns and very rich estates, good infrastructure etc.Concentration of our industrial areas and harbour is in another city in Greater Accra region called Tema which was an artificially planned city built close to the main capital city,Accra so that Accra is decongestered and not over populated. Kumasi has a bigger population than Accra and as you realized,new towns are springing up in the outskirts of the city in the greater parts of Accra which is not under the Accra Metropolitan Assembly. so that Accra is free from over population. and not polluted so if you don't know,better ask

Dude youryour anger is misguided

Why would i mingle in Ghanas business

Dude I was in Accra I've seen lots of resent vids of Ghana of where I was 4 years back, its little change that I see.

I saw the hotel you talking about.

No place stays the same over span of 4 years, relax especially when there's so much free space available for development

I saw your previous posts of talking down about Ghana to the extent of referring Ghana to a village feel and scene and Nairobi leading Accra in everything and I was like WTF!! and getting to know that you're a South African has gotten me more upset.

Listen,anytime you see or hear anything about Ghana,pass the opposite direction cos your level of negative energy is irritating. Am not saying praise Accra buh you dare not talk down on Accra and Ghana as a whole.There's a saying in Ghana that if you visit your mother in-law and have no present or gift to give her,you leave in peace buh you don't dare steal or do something negative against her.

I feel pity for any Ghanaian who welcomed your stay in Ghana and were friendly to you cos I know my Ghanaian breathens and our high level of friendliness cos they will be very disappointed in your negative energy towards the Black Star of Africa. Listen,Ghana is bigger than you, your entire generational line and anything you can imagine so shut up about Ghana .Ghana is now a trend and a movement among black diaspora and everyone dreams of visiting this gem and Gateway in Africa so if you had a chance to visit,keep your negative energy to yourself and don't get Ghanaians angry with your utterances.

Ghana is the closest ally and friend of South Africa in West Africa thus waiving visas among both nations visiting each other so mind who you're speaking about.

Austine1213:


Just 4 years back, I've seen alot of vid of Ghana recently it changed but not so much

SA

seriously, 2015 was a long time ago in terms of development in Ghana. Trust me,I know Ghana in 2015 under John Mahama and Ghana in 2020 under our current president and I can assure you that a whole lot of changes has occurred both physical and social development.

And Ghanaians don't tolerate South Africans mingling in our business cos we are not the best of friends taking into consideration the recent xenophobic attacks against West Africans.Listen,S.A had their economy stagnant these recent years whilst Ghana enjoys a massive economic growth and predicted by IMF and the World Bank to be among the world's fastest economies.

Roland Martin who's a very popular African American Youtuber said in his visit to Ghana in 2019 Year of Return that he once visited Ghana in 2014 and lodged at the best number 1 rated hotel in Ghana then and he revisited in 2019 and that same hotel with same and even improved amenities was now ranked number 18 in Accra alone.That's how fast Ghana has developed. Over 5 five star hotels have been built alone in Accra alone in the last 5 years and currently the biggest hotel in Africa has been completed in Ghana now.I will share you the link. It has 2,200 rooms.
An empty piece of land you saw in Ghana in 2015 have been developed now into a modern real estate community. That's how fast Ghana's economy is growing so you better watch again Ghanaian videos in 2015 and that of 2019 to compare and contrast.Where did you lodge when you canto Ghana? I mean the name of the community .

Austine1213:


Dude I'm up to date with lots of things, I do lots of travel blogs vids

Its not much change that you make it to be,

I have seen that vid

dude,I am a Ghanaian and I am telling you there's been massive development. Why do you think the country's annual economic growth rate is average of 7% for the last 10 years is a joke.It means development. Ghana in 2013 is very different from Ghana in 2020.And my question has not been answered

1.When was the last time you visited Ghana according to your own claim?

2.Which country do you come from yourself?

Austine1213:


I have been to Ghana before, Kenya, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and lesotho

I know the difference

and which year did you go to Ghana cos even the Ghana of 2015 is very different from the Ghana of 2019.I know a lot of people and have watched a lot of YouTube videos of people who visited Ghana once in 2015,2016 and later in 2019 and couldn't recognize the previous Ghana in the new progressive developing Ghana. On the internet now,Ghana is now a movement and a trend.Every black person in the diaspora are all talking about visiting Ghana now and thousands of travel vlogs have been made about Ghana travels in the last two years.Our brand new world class airport which was ranked the 4th best in the world by the International Aviation industry alone is the first major change in Ghana which welcomes you to the new Ghana so stop acting like an expert on Ghana with your little exposure. Btw where are you from I mean your country?

This a video about Ghana travel by a well travelled very popular Youtuber on his recent visit to Ghana and his exposure and massive love of the development, vibe and quality of life of the nation Ghana. Ghana then is very different from the old Ghana you may know.Watch this video and be exposed more

SaintsSamurai:
Jeez!!!!!!! Arguing with you can reduce my IQ.

Just take a look at the jargons you wrote?

You are not even ashamed of yourself.

So because some parts of Ghana decided to close Nigeria shops, Is that why you say Ghanians are not nice?

Even at that, the reason why some did that are even justifiable, yes i say it again. It's justifiable. Because as you have rightly said. NIGERIANS create problem everywhere they go, so when the people are tired of your problem, it's only right they ask you to leave.

But will that even justify what Nigeria government did to Ghanians years ago during the "Ghana must go era"?

The same Ghanians the NIGERIA Government pursued are the ones that have developed their country and now Nigerians are running there just for security and electricity.

The fact that their prisons is filled with Nigerians should tell you how problematic some NIGERIANS are in Ghana.

But be it as it may, the truth is that if you respect yourself and obey the law in Ghana.
Police will not give you a problem.

I will say it again, the standard of living in Ghana is 100 times more better than that of Nigeria.

You said because we are larger than Ghana then we should not have 24/7 electricity?

Damm!!!! Frankly speaking, you write like a village boy.

geez bro,am a Ghanaian who randomly stumbled on this site and that dude worworboy or whatever has been hating on Ghana ever since and there are about five of them who troll anything about Ghana on this site.
Their shear hatred for Ghana can give them a heart attack cos anytime Ghana is mentioned, they're there to attack.I don't know maybe a Ghanaian once took his girlfriend so he has been bitter since.So it's not about you or against you that he's fighting buh he's strongly fighting because you have praised his sworn enemy which is Ghana buh the funny thing is he has never stepped his broke azz foot in Ghana before buh he hates this country soo much buh he has never seen before. Leave him to wallow in grief and self-hatred.Ghana is bigger than his entire generational line or anything he can imagine.

Feel free to enjoy Ghana as much as you can.We're all one

And to think that the youths of this zoo are celebrating and rejoicing that a certain stripper turn gangster rapper jokes to file for Nigerian citizenship.

Talking about misplaced priority or simply fed up youth who has no hope for the country that they resort to anything else to take away their sorrows just like a drunkard who drinks away his sorrow calling it having fun.LOL!!

Oh and is this rapper going to burn generator fuel with you in the zoo.

Area4Area:
@1st bolded, did you just say Ghana remains Nigeria's nightmare? I laugh in twi.

@2nd and 3rd, you would get Nigeria to be confused about joining when Nigeria reluctantly has been delaying the take-off of the common currency because we've been so skeptical about the benefits to our economy.


You housing both headquarters means what? Brussels in Belgium houses the EU headquarters building and I guess it has made it the economic powerhouse of Europe.

Every other thing you typed is just wishful thinking, why restricting Ghana to be a regional power, why not for the African continent?

you think ECOWAS central bank and Africa Free Trade Agreement Headquarters Headquarters are political headquarters like EU headquarters. Funny cos they represents Trade and Economies and we will be in charge of ECO currency control.Oh and France their will never leave their colonies alone so we have to sign a deal with the devil so to be his deputy. It's better to be a security guard in a party in government than to be a national chairman of an opposition party. (Quote by our former president Kuffour. Half bread is better than none.

Then we will gradually take over trade policies in Africa whilst we continue to maintain our fastest growing economy in Africa and trust me in the next ten years,Ghana will be an almost developed country. Vision 2030.Go and read it about Ghana.

EzeIgbo1:
Let me advice everyone here reading this. You can take serious advantage of this new eco move by these foolish french countries and i will show you how.

1) Nigeria long forsaw this move to adopt eco afterall we were part of those who spoke up in support of it but after some checks we decided to slow down the process and focus more on growing Nigeria by Nigeria. I thank God for that strategic move by Buhari and i will tell you why

Since they say they will peg the eco to the euro you can expect the eco to be introduced at around 5 eco to a euro because france would never allow it to be 1 to 1. Even if this is not allowed, the french countries in West Africa who would adopt this currency do not have strong enough economies to sustain the value so expect either loans from france to these countries as buffers which is not sustainable and would be solely targeted at keeping those countries in a debt trap or a gradual devaluation of same eco due to the weak economies of the countries adopting her.

So if you are into manufacturing or Agriculture this is the time for you to make it big.

The eco would only be able to be spent in the countries which adopted it and not outside it so as a Nigerian businessman who exports, start targeting these countries who will adopt this eco and convert your prices to the new value, make your money off them and save back home in Nigeria. This is to your advantage and not their advantage.

Do not import from them because you will pay heavily due to the value change but because we have a very large economy we can export to them and at their new rates.

This border closure thing was a good thing because it has opened our eyes to what we can do as Nigerians and i think we need to take it seriously. I am in Ghana right now and just want to launch a product i invented and approved by their government here for mass production and then in about 6 months i will be back in Nigeria to tap into this eco to my own advantage.

Youths get up and form cooperatives. Put your resources together and embrace farming as a group effort if you cannot do it alone. You can then work on exports of your produce as a group effort and split the proceeds quarterly.

I am an entrepreneur and recognizing opportunity is my strong side and this is a huge opportunity for the discerning mind.

They want to block out Nigeria but we can take advantage of their attempt and get their money. easy money.

hahahahaha, you want to take advantage of we Ghanaians and outsmart us.Very funny.i can see you don't realise that Ghana is Nigeria's wildest nightmares in this world since independence especially when you underestimate our size.

Have you forgotten how your forefathers made huge investments in the 50s and 60s in Ghana owning majority of businesses and properties. Do you know what we did to them,we made them amass all their businesses and properties and enacted one law to deport all of them.That law is still around buh we have metaphorically quote it as GIPC laws which forbids foreigners from engaging in any business unless you have a capital of 500,000 to 1 million dollars.The party and government who did that sacking in 1969 is called the UP party and they have now changed their name to the NPP party and are now the current governing party.,Akuffo Addis father was the president then in 1969 whist Busia was the prime minister. Did you hear the president justifying GUTA sacking Nigerians this month at the meet the press buh he keeps laughing with Buhari together. Fear that old lawyer

Currently over 600 Nigerian shops are under lock and key in Circle alone and over 400 in Accra,Opera Square whilst hundreds are locked in Kumasi Suame.Listen to your friend who told you to be careful of Ghanaians cos we watch everything closely in our country. We collapsed over 12 banks since last year and Nigerian banks such as Energy Bank,First Atlantic Bank and others closed down.Glo is in comma in Ghana now buh we have not touched it yet.They were about to be closed for non payment of taxes.

Now let me tell you about this ECO.We will make sure Nigeria gets confused on whether to join or not to whilst we lobby for the Headquarters of the Central Bank to manage the ECO just as we did to win the bid to host the Africa Free Trade Agreement Headquarters so now Ghana is the capital of free Trade in Africa .

We are the second largest economy in ECOWAS in terms of population and GDP with 68 billion dollars GDP.By the time Nigeria realise the benefits of the ECO and wants to join later just as the Africa Free Trade Agreement, by then Ghana had already become the Headquarters of the ECO currency. Why do you you think we indicated in the letter that a Central bank of ECOWAS needs to be built first.

Cote d'Ivoire is our direct cousin and we share the same Akan majority ethnic group and their president is now the ECOWAS president so we will consult him so that we house the Central Bank. France will be our direct ally so as the USA is.Then Ghana takes over as the Regional leader in West Africa.Don't worry Nigeria can survive on it's own buh ECOWAS and Africa should be ours cos we are known as the black star of hope and glory of Africa .Forget our 30 million population.

TraDeRR:
@ crash12345 our debt distress clock is ticking.. this administration in this first term alone has added about $10 billion more.. now they have camouflage what they’ll turly used that 2 billion For.. this deal with China is not good for us.. not healthy..

10 billion dollars debts in the last 3 years because the banking sector was collapsing and needed a rescue so over 3 billion dollars alone went into distress institutions and at the end save depositors and investors of their hard earned money due to the bad decisions and negligence of some banking executives and banking regulators and currently, people are standing trial.And now trust and positive credential has been restored back into our financial institutions. That money was an unplanned spending.

Aside that ,the rest of the money although brings unnecessary pressure to our revenue collections and more taxes is still needed to finance our numerous social programs and paying of contractors arrears from numerous incomplete projects and to finance more infrastructure.

We pray this election year there will be prudent spending because that's something that every government cannot escape. Election year means more spending on infrastructures and projects to woo voters.Aside that our micro and macro economic indicators are doing very well according to the world bank and IMF.

TraDeRR:
I’m soo ashamed of @crash12345.. please just jeje take your 5 years old emotional self out of this forum if you can not rationally explain your position when arguing without raining insult..

I have not insulted anyone here because if you will notice the reply that dude gave me necessitating the same reply I gave him.I am not emotional and I engage you with valid points.Btw are you half Nigerian? or do you reside in Nigeria?

Toluway:

And you have the sublime efrontry to vent your venom on Nigeria with the violent euphoria of a Tiger? Vacate this thread right now!

I didn't want to address any Nigerian or quote you guys cos you guys are non entities to me .I came to clear the attacks against my country thinking a useless Nigerian was the one doing the attack other to be disappointed to find out it's rather my fellow Ghanaian who's blinded by politics doing the attack. I don't waste my time with Nigerians buh when I found out that TraDeRR is a Ghanaian, I decided to engage her.

So keep your calm in your failed state and let us Ghanaians tackle our home issues on any platform we deem fit cos the internet is a free open platform unless you tell me social media is restricted and regulated by your fulani warlords leaders.

TraDeRR:


....And what are you talking about? You want to celebrate “Year of return “ is that an achievement? Are blind or something? You mentioned cocoa because Ivory Coast is complying to keep the price high.. wait till they receive a call from France and you’ll see excess cocoa at a cheap price.. our government dept FYI is now 63%.. we shouldn’t be selling our reserves or natural resources ! If you don’t agree with me, fine!
You must be a Nana supporter judging by the way you attacked me but hey! I’m not an hypocrite.. I say it as it is anywhere no shame.. I no follow you do suffering and smiling..

Good night..

we will rebase our GDP to make way for more loans like we did last year.Now our GDP is 65 billion dollars and debt ration is not 60% yet.Last time I checked it was 59%.All the same Japan even has a debt to GDP of over140% but they're still surviving. We have a country to develop and infrastructure deficit to build so we are never scared of debt.NPP,NDC will continue to take in more loans and float more bonds and issue more treasury bills to bridge the development gap.Currently,80% of our GDP is informal so even the 65 billion dollars grossly understated.

If Ivory Coast betray the cocoa price ceiling, we will easily adjust ours to the world prices to make it competitive cos after All,our cocoa seeds are of the highest quality and preferred more than that of Ivory Coast and the rest.Our economy far exceeds that of the Ivory Coast and I doubt if the Ivory Coast will even try that nonsense because they're getting wise themselves by getting off the cfa Franc web.They're broke so they need these cocoa revenue to survive cos unlike us,they don't have alternative gold or oil to cushion them so they do that at their own risk.

And yes,year of Return has brought in 1.9 billion dollars this year alone which is more than the crazy oil revenue deals previous administration signed which we earned a little over 1 billion dollars in taxes and royalties out of the over 5 billion dollars oil revenue generated from those private oil companies. Tourism money goes directly to the masses and the foreign exchange remains in the country unlike those foreign countries who repatriate all the oil sales
note:am neither NPP nor NDC.Am a Ghanaian first and foremost.

TraDeRR:


Lol calm down ..
Sis/Bro they are selling it to found what Road and bridge you’ll say right ? Well, that’s the only projects they can mention to enable them siphon money for their upcoming election campaign.. China will be granted access 5% of Ghana’s bauxite reserves.. 5% !
did you see how fast Beijing released the first payment and sweetened the deal by committing to fund 100 vehicles for the Ghana Police Service and offered a 300 million yuan ($42.7 million) grant and a debt write off of 250 million yuan ?? And you used the word a “certain forest” ok oo.. you also forgot how careless this Chinese can be in terms of pollution.. see what happened in kumasi..
anyway come make we dey go Ghana go continue our argument there..

JJ sold our gold reserves to the Australians and South Africans,did you cry then that Ghana is under siege, this government has implemented free Senior High School for school children nationwide including free boarding free meals,free books,free uniforms, etc, they have implemented the planting for food and jobs which millions of farmers have benefited from free fertilizer, easy access to soft loans,more agriculture officers,more tractors,combine harvesters etc to create a number harvest of maize and other food crops,he is assisting in the building of factories nationwide with over 65 factories built in the last 3 years of his administration, he has restored nursing and teacher training allowances, restored school feeding program nationwide, etc etc and now he's using a fraction of our untapped bauxite reserves which will be sold anyway to finance road projects worth 2 billion dollars nationwide and you are saying what.

What good thing came out of our over 500 years of mining gold in commercial quantities before and after colonialism and the rest,upon all those gold,we were a failed state in the 80s and thus these Nigerians disgracing us and sacking over 2 million Ghanaians from their useless country because we refused to get wise.

Currently,due to free compulsory education from kg to Senior High School, in the next 10 years,literacy rate will move from 76% to over 90% and our infrastructure will pick up by then,our social programs such as free Healthcare will still be in place and our GDP will more than double due to the massive industrialized and service economy and our GDP per capita will more than double from 2,200 dollars to over 8,000 dollars. I just pray our population growth is reduced to its lowest form.

Ghana is the future of Africa so stop being a bad prophet and help in nation building and be a good patriot. These Nigerians are already doomed already when they were dominated by these fulani Islamic warlords. That bondage will continue to drag their giant progress whilst Ghana steal the spotlight as the black star of Africa.That's the Ghanaian(Warrior King) future plan.

emmanuelewumi:



The person you quoted is a Ghananian with investments in both Ghana and Nigeria

a Ghanaian talking like that deserves the attack I gave him.Had I known he's a Ghanaian, I would have known how to deal with him differently though. He already knows what am talking about if indeed he's a Ghanaian.

TraDeRR:
It is well @ Godlylifeonearth
It’s everywhere .. the president of Ghana just sold 5% of Ghana to China.. they’ve sold the birthright of Ghana finish.. continuous stealing.. the thing even make investors to turn down 20% Bond.. they were shocked..
This bad governance is everywhere oo.. I no know who curse Africa

you're foolish for saying 5% of Ghana is an unknown part of Atiwa bauxite reserves in a certain forest in the eastern region exchanged for a 2 billion dollars just for road construction. Our gold production is the largest in Africa and over 5 billion oil barrels reserve have being discovered this year alone,we sold Cocoa worth 5 billion dollars in 2018 alone and You're here saying trash.Think about your corrupt poverty capital of the world zoo country and leave Ghana alone so we can celebrate our Year of Return in the most peaceful and most progressive nation in West Africa.

LadySarah:


Use it and get Brit Citizenship.Thanks

lol,nobody is fighting for British citizenship. I am a Ghanaian first before everything buh you don't diss our pronunciation and accent cos as I said,the British had been with us for over 300 years since 1471 when they came so we easily adopted to their way of speaking their own language and so the way we pronounce our words are very similar or even same as that of the English or British person. Pastor,doctor and mom are pronounced pastar,dactar and mam and that's a fact with the phonetic sounds I showed you.

LadySarah:


Really?
What is in this ghana English that makes it the best?
Doctor-Docter
Pastor-pasta
mum-mam.
We have heard their celebs speak and thats how they pronounce words.Is that how the british speak theres?

Do you know what is Olundi(Mothertongue) comes into play in how we speak?

Nobody's own is better as if we will use it to buy a bag of rice.MTCHEWW

am a Ghanaian and that's how those words are pronounced in English by the British native speakers .Below is the phonetics spellings in the Merriam Webster Dictionary. The fact that there's an "O" or "or" doesn't mean we should pronounced the words in "or".There's a way of pronouncing words just as Ph and knife,known,psychology etc are pronounced. Ghanaians adopted our pronunciations.Look below the word for the right phonetic spelling and pronunciation not the raw spelling.

So even with Ghana, upon all these centuries of practicing English due to the English or British being with us for over 300 years and all our forefathers and current leaders trained and schooled in England, our native language sometimes get caught up with us with the pronouncing example instead of saying "dactar" we say "doctar" and instead of saying "accemedashen" we say "accommodeshen" buh we get majority of the pronouncing right though and our accent is raw buh we break and pause words just as the British so we don't speak faster like the American.

38.7 % of Kenyans are Poor – UNDP Report

Recent surveys indicate that 38.7per cent of Kenya’s population or 19.2 million people are poor while an additional 34.9per cent or 17.3 million people are classified as vulnerable.
According to the 2019 Human Development Report, published by the United Nations Development Program(UNDP), Kenya’s Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) is 0.178. This is compared to Cameroon’s 0.243 and Tanzania’s 0.273
MPI is the share of the population that is multidimensionally poor, adjusted by the intensity of the deprivations.
In Kenya, 23.3 per cent of parliamentary seats are held by women, and 29.8per cent of adult women have reached at least a secondary level of education compared to 37.3per cent of their male counterparts.
For every 100,000 live births, 510 women die from pregnancy related causes; and the adolescent birth rate is 75.1 births per 1,000 women of 15-19 years.
Female participation in the labour market is 63.6 percent compared to 69.1 percent for men. Cameroon and Tanzania are ranked at 140 and 130 respectively on this index.
Kenya has a Gender Inequality Index (GII) value of 0.545, ranking it 134 out of 162 countries.
The 2019 Human Development Report (HDR) explores inequalities in human development by going beyond income, beyond averages, and beyond today.
Kenya’s Human Development Index (HDI) value for 2018 is 0.579—which put the country in the medium human development category—positioning it at 147 out of 189 countries and territories. The rank is shared with Nepal.
The HDI is a summary measure for assessing long-term progress in three basic dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, access to knowledge and a decent standard of living.
A long and healthy life is measured by life expectancy. Knowledge level is measured by mean years of schooling among the adult population, which is the average number of years of schooling received in a life-time by people aged 25 years and older; and access to learning and knowledge by expected years of schooling for children of school-entry age, which is the total number of years of schooling a child of school-entry age can expect to receive if prevailing patterns of age-specific enrollment rates stay the same throughout the child’s life.
Standard of living is measured by Gross National Income (GNI) per capita.

You Ghanaian still crying over the border closure, let them threaten us exactly the way Ghana has been threatening Nigeria with no result.
We pass all of you combined and you know that

am sure a Ghanaian has raped both your mother and sister before and run scot free because your level of hatred for Ghana is unprecedented. Don't you see the person you're quoting is a Nigerian by him even using "our" throughout his comment. Where did he mention Ghana.
Think about your 1 million problems in your over 100 million extremely poor poverty capital of the world people with your illiterate fulani general warlord president.Boko haram just executed 4 Nigerians aid workers and your whole country is suffering from power failures and Ghana is now your largest trading partner ahead of the USA,China and India.Without the Ghanaian rich market, millions of Nigerians will be extremely poor and jobless.Hahahaha

wwwihy:
Has Ghana paid for the gas supply?

fool,Ghana is now your largest trading partner and buyers of your product worth over 3 billion dollars in just 3 months, ahead of USA,India and China.Fool and see if we block your inferior goods from Ghana,your millions of already 100 million extremely poor poverty capital of the world people will be out of employment and hunger will be their middle name.

That your peanuts 130 million dollars have long being settled. What do you take us for.Now we produce our own gas and we don't use your unreliable gas again.Google Sankofa Gas project which is the largest gas project in Africa located in Ghana with our Ghana Gas Company in charge.Better sleep in darkness and shut up on a country with 24/7 electricity. Do you have light in your kiosk currently?

Oh and I almost forgot,over 1,000 Nigerian shops have been closed forcefully in Ghana right now.We're taking the locking nationwide and very soon,millions of Nigerians will join you shortly from Ghana after dealing with them.Don't get me annoyed.

GENEGIRIA:
Nigerians, at least some Nigerians, are just crap.

Few months/weeks ago, nairaland was literally set alight simply because some trucks bringing Ghanaians goods into Nigeria had been stopped at the nigerian border because of the border closure. Suddenly, you Nigerians started attacking Ghanaians. They said simply because Ghanaians wanted to export merchandise into Nigeria meant Nigerians were the ones feeding Ghanaians.

One fool repeatedly called neighboring countries, particularly Ghana, as leeches. Yes, leeches. What was their crime? Their crime was simply that they were exporting items into Nigeria. For those miscreants, the importing country is the one feeding the exporting country. which meant their economies depended on Nigerians and that Nigeria was the one feeding those countries.

Today, wind don blow. Fowl nyash don open. Now that it has emerged that nigeria actually exports a lot to Ghana, the music has changed. Now nigerians are now saying Ghana depends on Nigerians because they import from Nigeria. What kind of stvpid hipocrisy and logic is this?

Now, as it turned out, Ghanaians are actually the ones feeding nigerians. That is a reality you nigerians have to live with.

seriously speaking bro,I didn't know Ghana was that rich and that Ghana controlled Nigeria's export to the extent that Ghana is their largest and richest customer. I mean,look at the top ten largest export destination for Nigeria which includes rich countries such as India,USA,China and the rest and to think that Ghana tops that list tells you the influence and purchasing power of Ghana with a population of 29 million people with a purchasing power of more than 200 billion dollars.Which country on that list is a poor country or depend on the zoo country Nigeria, none. I mean,in just 3 months,we bought goods worth 3 billion dollars from Nigeria who's not even among our top ten largest importers.We trade more with Cote D'Ivoire than even Nigeria in West Africa buh to them,we are their largest buyers and exporting country in the world.

Imagine the jobs and families we feed in Nigeria with all these billions of dollars we feed them.Without us they're dead.We are more important to them than even America and China.If we block their imports from Ghana,millions of Nigerians will be extremely poor people adding up to their already 100 million extremely poor poverty capital of the world people.

Area4Area:
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

your hatred for Ghana will cause your death you monkey living in a zoo country without electricity. Stupid idiot,apart from crude oil that makes up 95%of your exports, tell me any sensible thing you produce.
The things that Ghana as a country export worth 17 billion dollars for a country of 29 million people,tell me what your poor factories and market can afford. A country of 200 million people export of 50 billion dollars with 95% of it being crude oil and gas.Disgraceful country with over 100 million extremely poor people.

If you understand business you will know that the buyer has the upper hand in terms of trade due to he doing the paying and other better quality options. If we don't buy your stuffs,your mini factories will close out of production and business and lay offs and loss of tax revenue occurs.Its just like your government choosing not to buy foreign rice again. Its Benin,Thailand and co who suffers loses because they have lost a major buyer.Just as the US China trade war is affecting China because US is cutting down imports from China.China looses billions you dumb Nigerians.

Have you seen Ghana complain about your border except when GUTA told our government to warn your government of reversals. Now over 1,000 Nigerian shops have being locked in parts of Accra alone.Now your leaders are crying for dialogue.

I replied one Nigerian brother on this same page with this comment and I am going to say the same thing here

Ghana announced and implemented visa on arrival to all Africans as far back as 2015.Seychelles and Mauritius are visa free and in arrivals to almost all countries in the world including all Africans. Kenya and Ethiopia,Zambia,Sierra Leone,Rwanda etc implemented visa on arrival for all Africans since last year.All these countries are still running peacefully and highly in terms of economic growth.

There's nothing wrong with visa on arrival for Africans except some unsecured African nations who feel someone is out to get him.And I am a Ghanaian and Ghana never complained.

In fact,this year alone,more than 1 million black diasporan tourists have visited Ghana for the Year of Return. And visa on arrival means a nation charges 100 dollars minimum to any passport holder from Africa at the airport or point of entry for minimum of 30 days.That alone is wealth.Multiply 100 dollars by say 500,000 African visits.Hotel bills,food bills,expenses on stay,transportation, airline tickets have not even come in .This is when Nigerian airlines cash in on these African routes because they have special access to Nigerian travels.

Just get your security in check and grace up to recieve more tourists and business trips.People travel to Nigeria just for your powerful pastors and their programs, entertainers and entertainment events and activities, culture purposes, curiosity purposes and these people are not poor people. They mostly travel in groups or with their families and it means more dollars for the local economy. Poor people don't travel on aeroplanes in Africa except the good to do ones.Maybe Nigerians are an exception because so called poor people can save up to exit to another country on a plane to survive buh other Africans don't do that.Even with that it's few countries like South Africa and some north African countries that will make a Nigerian save up,pay for visas just to hustle.

They rather board a bus to their neighbouring countries to start new lives which already neighbouring countries around Nigeria such as Chad,Niger,Mali,Liberia,Sierra Leone, Cameroon,Benin,etc already enjoy visa free not even on arrival to Nigeria.These countries don't pay anything for visas.

Nobody will board a plane from Mozambique to Nigeria to hustle.He will rather go to neighbouring South Africa on a bus.Same as someone from Burundi or Somalia will rather go to Kenya to hustle than board a plane,pay for visa to Nigeria just to hustle.

An American Astronaut, Christina Hammock Koch has described her learning experience at the University of Ghana some twenty years ago as “life-changing.”
The Astronaut took to twitter to reminisce about her time in Ghana after viewing the country from space.
“20 years ago, I was studying abroad at the @UnivofGh. Like spaceflight, it was a positive, life-changing, perspective-deepening experience. Seeing the beauty of Ghana from space reminds me of the amazing people I met there and how in exploring the world, we learn about ourselves,” she tweeted.

Christina Hammock Koch was selected as an astronaut by NASA in 2013. She completed astronaut candidate training in July 2015.

Koch graduated from North Carolina State University with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Physics and a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering.
Koch was selected in June 2013 as one of eight members of the 21st NASA astronaut class. Her Astronaut Candidate Training included scientific and technical briefings, intensive instruction in International Space Station systems, spacewalks, robotics, physiological training, T-38 flight training, and water and wilderness survival training.
She was assigned to her first space flight, a long duration mission on the International Space Station, in 2018

Wow! This is awesome but I'm still not with you..the money we are making on crude oil only is enough to transform our beloved country into what we want, but unto which those money are going, we both know. The problem is that this poeple are fighting for their pockets and doesn't have the best interest of masses at heart. I get your point , don't misinterpret me o. But those countries that implemented this policies are not selfish and less concerned like our politicians here in naija...And if it causes havoc, they will all travel out leaving us here..Nawa o.

Tourism is a unique aspect of an economy.With tourism,unlike crude oil sales and deals in which 95% of the money made goes directly to the government and some few private friends of the government, tourism money goes directly to the common man and basic businesses by the common citizens.

In Ghana,we make over 1 billion dollars from tourism and majority of this money spent goes to the food vendors,transport owners,taxi drivers,hostel and hotel managers,drivers,tour guides,culture and art sellers on the streets,restaurant and food joint operators,it provides massive employment and business ventures,etc.

Just a little amount goes to the government through taxing of these service providers and some tickets for some exclusive government owned tourist sites.People come to tour the nation for religious programmes,sports programmes,business summits,food and art exhibition, private family tour packages,,nature sight seeing ,group tour packages and even sex and entertainment tourism,all these brings in tourists.

Most people do not embark on these journeys because of the months and time needed to apply and process for a simple 30 day or 90 day visa.So when you make it visa on arrival,all they need is their plane tickets which must have a return ticket back to their country before entry and personal pocket money to spend.In Mauritius and other visa on arrival countries they check your bank balance or money in hand which some countries make it 100 dollars per day spent must be available.

Tourism competes with gold and cocoa top earning in Ghana. It accounts for 10% of the world GDP and employs 1 in 5 employed people in the world.

There's local tourism when people travel from the same country travel from one state to the other for a mission or even visit their relative or friend in another state.You spend in that state and improve their local economy buh the best form of tourism is international tourists.They bring dollars and foreign exchange and they spend like celebrities and rich tourists thus helping the economy of that country. Tourism sustains South Africa, Egypt, Kenya,Greece,Italy,Ghana and Nigeria can earn more money from tourism than even oil due to your large diverse and wonderful society and people when you develop and market your country. Countries pay to CNN and world media to advertise their country like Visit Rwanda which sponsors Arsenal FC and Year of Return in Ghana.

You saw only that abi? What of free access to more terrorists, diseases etc, no reasonable country will ever give free access like this to other countries to enter their country and grant them visa at the point of entry. This is the worst strategy ever existed since history begun
