You claim there are Ghanaians in nigeria so why don't you provide the evidence yourself?

The thing is while your media is so quick to point out the number of Nigerians in Ghana, the issue of African foreigners on the Nigerian media is almost non existent except recently due to the Herdsmen crime and even at that much of the criticism and blame is still on the president.
ln Ghana it is different, Ghanians blame everyone but themselves for everything, your media is also quick to speak about Nigeria more than it is the other way round and l wonder why.
Hence even if there are a million Ghanians in Nigeria, it is hard to get the figures.
l'll tell you the truth there is nothing in Ghana the middle class or rich in Nigeria can't enjoy( if you can't find it in Lagos, you can find it in Abeokuta or Enugu) or at least in Calabar. So Nigerians going to Ghana is just for the feel of a different environment. Dumsor(a Ghanian word for lack of stable electricity ) is the problem here. There are so many Nigerians in Cameroon, at a time l heard there were about 4 million from a commentator in African women cup of nations 2016, so what would you also say about that?

emeka1101:
Hahahaha 1 million Ghanaians in nigeria?

Are you this dumb?

A Ghanaian dog will even reject a free flight to nigeria so what are you talking about?

Hahahaha

The truth is that there are many Ghanians in PH, Lagos, and Delta state( to an extent). The Ghanians and Togolese in Delta state for instance love tailoring.

emeka1101:
Point of correction.

There are over 5 million nigerians in Ghana( The largest outside nigeria)

FYI: we are not even neighbours to begin with

You seem to be so proud of that. l don't even believe the figure is up to 5million considering that there ain't even up to 5 million Nigerians in England.
Even if you are correct, it doesn't matter much since Ghana and all of West Africa are just mini Nigeria in their own ways.

Kenyanstar:
KENYA BEAUTIFUL
Nigerian s I want to show you why there are thousands of Nigerian citizenry in Kenya by less than 10 Kenyans in Nigeria

There are thousands of Nigerian citizenry everywhere.
Senegal, Gabon, Benin, Cameroon, Ghana, Zambia, etc.

I can't finish all the malls in Kenya.They are more than a hundred!


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_shopping_malls_in_Kenya

What's so fascinating about malls? All these Kenyans sef, na everything dey shak una. Switzerland president visit Nairobi for one day, we never hear word since. Now mall again na big tin too. Na wah for una oh.

okay your delusion is impeccable

Oga it is way bigger than what you have in Ghana, there's nothing to argue there. Why do all these smaller countries think they can measure up to Naija in everything, lol.

Just30:
just so im not bias
im not trying to say theres no poverty in Ghana
5.8 million Ghanaians are poor
out of the 5.8 million that are poor, 1.1 million are extremely poor
mind you
this is just data for 2013
since then, the figures in Ghana has gone down consistently

You are not making sense, after removing some figures in your Ghanian Cedis, you now have 1 Ghanian Cedis to 4 dollars. Kenya is 100 shillings to the dollar, and Nigeria is 305 naira officially to the dollar. Ghana has a higher cost of living than Nigeria, so it is unreasonable that you still even have up to 1.1 million people living below 4 Cedis' a day. This is a very useless analysis from you.

Just30:
you still dont get it
extremely poor and just poor are two different things
89 million are extremely poor and thats a 50% of your pop
An additional 30% of your population is classified as just poor

Your report says Nigeria has a population of 195 million people and it says 89 million are extremely poor, it never said anything 80%.
World bank says 70%( not 80%) of Nigerians are poor. Again the remaining 30% of the 195 million people who are not poor or extremely poor more than double your population and can totally occupy your country or even swallow it.
l have said it before, the real problem is in having small countries of just 20-30 million with high poverty rate. That would be a curse in my opinion.
Equatorial Guinea for instance has just 2 million people but surprisingly very high poverty rate.

Runalong333:
Do you have a nigerian parent? I'm asking because of your name.

He loves Nigeria so much or probably has a Nigerian mother.

emeka1101:
NOT according to me OK.
Its an obvious fact.
Majority of nigerians are extremely poor.
In fact nigeria is the poverty capital of the world

Still you don't get it, if Nigeria has a population of 180 million and then 89 million lives below the poverty line,(according to your source) that isn't 70% as stated by you. You all keep contradicting yourselves.
lf l am to discard your report and go by your 70% statement, that leaves us with about 50-60 million people who are not poor which still doubles the population of Ghana.

emeka1101:
Nigerians doesn't even control upto 5% of your oil sector.
You seem ignorant of your own country.

In fact everything in nigeria is bn controlled by foreigners.

That's why majority of you are as poor as fvck

services; pipeline system, pipeline leak/clamping; operation and maintenance.

According to the Nigerian Content Development and Monitory Board (NCDMB), by utilising local capacity, about $191 billion could be retained, while 300,000 new direct job opportunities are expected in such areas as engineering, sciences, technical services and manufacturing.

[b]Already, Nigerian firms such as Century Energy Services Limited, Marine Platforms Limited and Oilserv Limited and others, have shown expertise in their respective fields.
The increasing indigenous capacity and capability has drastically reduced skills gap that hitherto existed in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry, hence the increased advocacy by the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN) and NCDMB for the award of more contracts to Nigerian companies with such competences.
Currently, Oilserv Limited is handling the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation’s (NNPC) 67 km x 48 inch gas transmission pipeline system from Delta State to Edo State.
Century Energy Services Limited (CESL) is a frontline oil service firm appointed by Yinka Folawiyo, to contribute to the realisation of Aje as a field with commercial oil reserves, which also brought Lagos State into the league of oil producing states.
The Aje wells are subsea wells tied back to a 40,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd), 18 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscf/d) of gas, and Floating Production Storage and Offtake (FPSO) vessel – the Front Puffin FPSO.
The company is the operator and maintenance service provider for the Front Puffin FPSO, providing production operations management, facility maintenance and marine support for the Aje field, which is operated by Yinka Folawiyo Petroleum (YFP).
CESL has maintained an age-long working relationship with operators of the Aje field, YEP, to bring the asset from a mere concept, 20 years ago to full commercialisation in May 2016.
CESL’s had also pledged to continue to deliver cost-effective operation and maintenance services on the Aje FPSO, in addition to providing further field development support and production optimisation input on the asset.
“These were trying times but as a company, we will continue to assure business sustainability for continued value creation in the Industry.”
Some companies like us brought creativity to play and this kept them going. The risks faced, with grave implications on revenue base, capacity to employ and support social investments, did not deter some players like us in the Industry because we had to think out of the box and delivered world class services,” CESL added.[/b]
According to Momodu Kassim Momodu & Toyin Akinosho’s report in the Petroleum Technology Development Journal titled Aje field: from OPL 309 to OML 113, described the discovery of oil in commercial quantity in the field as a big feat as the field was rated more of a gas than oil field in the past, which made Syntroleum Corporation, one of YFP’s early partners and technical advisers, to offer its gas-to liquids (GTL) technology for the gas expected to be produced from the field

That's why majority of you are as poor as fvck

Foreigners do not control Nigeria's oil and gas sector, l grew up and was educated in both warri and PH in Nigeria, so l know what I'm saying beyond the opinion of a so called Akinjade you just googled up randomly. l don't know what you mean by control. Majority of our citizens are poor according to you and yet most of your expensive Ghanian private schools are patronized by middle class Nigerians and Nigerians have the greatest foreign investments in your small country besides U.S and China, isn't that a contradiction?

emeka1101:
Yet no sensible human being will ever dream of coming to nigeria to seek greener pastures or even for tourism or education. What does that tell you?

Apart from huge population and GDP( courtesy the huge oil reserves) what positive thing is nigeria ranked ahead Ghana?
Ghana beats nigeria in all indexes so shut up there.

We have over 5 million nigerians here.

You better shut up there.

nigeria is a big for nothing useless country.PERIOD

You are no where near Nigeria in the finance/banking sector, in tech/IT, in businesses, industrialization, entertainment, textile/fashion industry, sports generally(male and female) and virtually every other thing that almost excludes the Government and has to do with individual efforts.
Nigeria is responsible for almost all trades in West Africa and Lagos is not only called the financial capital of Nigeria but also West Africa.
Nigeria has huge oil reserves, but Nigerians control almost everything in that sector in Nigeria, Ghana was called the gold coast, what have you done with your gold and Cocoa?
Having so called 5 million Nigerians in Ghana is nothing, we even want to be more than that there because we are over 180million people.

Just30:
guy no one wants to be a part of the useless convos you have
tell your guy to learn how to make measured qoutes instead of the grandiose ones you make all the time
i just had to remind him that the Macron he was boasting with to make a grandiose comment like the one he made
came to west africa last year and didnt visit nigeria

Did he mention Ghana in that comment?

Just30:
okay now im laughing
Ghana at one point had more cinemas than the entire west africa
you guys really like to make grandiose claims

When was that?

Just30:
im still wondering why you guys brought it up in your dick measuring
wow too many mentals in nigeria

Taysermahiri brought it up( boasting about the president of Swaziland visiting Nairobi) not Nigerians here. Wetin be your own for this matter.

obaaderemi:
Have you forgotten cinema business in Nigeria is bigger and older than what you have in Ghana?

Silverbird is even big in Ghana and for the Ghanian movie industry, so l don't know what's wrong with that one.

Just30:

who cares if he come back or not
we dont make them dictate to us on what to do
We cart our own course
i should be asking you if its an achievement to be boasting of
you guys are so hopeless to the extend that you boast of thing that are not important

The Kenyans actually started boasting of how the president of Swaziland visited Kenya( for which l still don't know what's there to be proud of). The guy you quoted only responded to him, and then you intruded in their discussion because you just wanna bring Ghana into it.

mtis:
Where do you live n why the hate on foreigners (people who don look like you ) ?

l have been on this thread for a while now and l don't see the so called hate on foreigners from Oba's post, nor anything indicating hate.

obaaderemi:
You sef. All his screenshots shows MTN Nigeria. He is in Onitsha selling spare parts. Yet he claims to live outside Nigeria.

Lol l should have taken note of that, hahaha

sufferNsmiling:
2 people which are suffering from extreme poverty meet up and are chatting for somebody which is in a better country than them and asking the person to be educated in nigeria this is a starving donkeys last kick it puts all his energy into it then it died. That is how to of you sound. I told you I was not educated in nigeria and english is my third language. I left nigeria at the age of 2 years old.

ok English is your third language you can be forgiven, but even if your English is not good, you shouldn't compound the problem for us by posting only thrash upon thrash. Even if you are a Kenyan, argue sensibly for fvck sake.

sufferNsmiling:
All you need to know I was not educated in nigeria .my personal life is not your business. I know in nigeria some bodies personal life is everybody's business

l think it would have been better if you were educated in Nigeria, don't you think so?

sufferNsmiling:
My brother welcome to reality you are not the only yoruba here I am also yoruba but I do not think and behave like most of them. Maybe because I was educated outside the country. When I visited my country and my hometown they were laughing at me calling me a foreigner because I did not behave like them but I am 100% from southwest and was born in southwest but on nairaland people do not want to hear the truth event in nigeria. Yoruba brother welcome to reality and the truth.

ln what country were you educated?

nonye6194:
they should scrape off this nysc and create a one year vocational training for graduates instead.

two died in bayelsa days ago. another drowned in same bayelsa. weeks ago, one was gang raped in same bayelsa


this nysc is a waste of one full productive year of our youths, some lose their lives and others lives change for the worse after staying in a strange land for 12 months

l concur

rvp2018:
There is no doubt that Nigeria is ahead of kenya in Nollywood/Music/Fashion.I was willing to grant Nigeria two more things - Banking & Cement Industry - but I think on both counts - you are regressing so baldy and Kenya is certainly ahead in banking & is catching up in cement industry. That leave Nigeria's Nollywood & Music are few things kenya can copy from Nigeria.

Nice one, to be frank it's not so important who is ahead really.

naijalander:
I have spoken the truth. Kenya is a much better country to live in than Nigeria.

If that wasn't the case, people would not leaving Nigeria in droves! Nigeria is such a disappointment.

I flew back to Nairobi earlier this week and the police at the airport kept harassing me (as usual) and accusing me of computer crimes, should that be the case? That green passport itself is also a liability to carry around, you get to any country, they see a green passport and immigration and customs separates you from the line. Oga, I have gone through shameful cavity searches, officials sticking their hands in my anus to check if I'm hiding cocaine, these are the facts Oga, I am done!

That's what I'm saying, your argument on the side of Nigeria all along have been based on emotions not facts. Defending Nigeria, Kenya or humanity is not worth it, but doing our best to call a spade a spade at all times should be the goal. We may be wrong and could change our position at anytime, but then this should be based on sound reasoning not emotions or meaningless patriotism.

naijalander:
Kenya has never had a civil war.

Trust me, I have lived in Kenya for at least 10 years and I can say confidently that Nairobi is not nearly as bad as Lagos is.

It is a shame that we are even having these arguments. I was only supporting Nigeria as per patriotism, but really think about it, what is the point ?

That is the problem with your arguement, patriotism shouldn't stop you from speaking the truth.

naijalander:
dickhole I am a Yoruba man.

Just gtfoh, follow the thread and you'll see I have been Nigeria's number one defender but after what happened to the Corp member yesterday, I am officially done defending this country, keep deceiving yourselves.

There's nothing to defend in the first place if you speak the truth, so l don't get your point.
l may hate Nigeria but if Nigerian banks are doing well for instance or at least way better than their Kenyan counterparts, l wouldn't come here to argue otherwise f simply because of sentiments.
True, everyone on both side of the fence is partial to an extent, but we must try to argue with less sentiments as much as we can.
Nigeria is a terrible place and l feel sad about this news, a terrible jungle is Nigeria but worse things have happened both in Nigeria, Kenya and all of Africa and the World.
Humanity has it's sick side, though the lawlessness in Nigeria is truly unfortunate.
Of a truth Nigeria has weaker institutions(probably much more than Kenya) and this aids Lawlessness.
lf the institutions were there, both the Doctors and the Police would know they can't go Scot free.

You were saying......?

deomelo:
The largest economy in Africa has nothing to offer?

Of course are are not performing optimally, but saying we have nothing to offer beyond oil sounds absurd and ridiculous.

Largest economy in Africa but we rarely influence the continent economically. Do we have sophisticated manufacturing sectors tailored for exports to the continent besides Crude oil and Nollywood.
