nothing thou said but tha truth. I'm really enjoying this people in western region now. I'm even a card carrying member of a leading political party in just my 2years oooo. Life sweet kraaaa for here.

you are a Nigerian enjoying such benefits in ghana am sure they know you as a Nigerian and still don't discriminate cos I suppose you should have fulfilled all legal and constitutional obligations. Can you same the same vice versa?

Lezzlie:
Then you're still hanging onto the dry, weathered leaves of Ad hominem.

Not even a pretence of a rebuttal.

lol! Rebuttal you say? You are funny! There is nothing to approve or disprove from your talk cos you are already off point

Lezzlie:
Let us dispense with the drapery of theatrical hypocrisy.

I was only responding to ill-conceived postulation put forward by a Nigerian who doesn't know a bit about geo-political.

We have absolutely nothing to be thankful about Ghanaians' sojourn here.

Ghana has no reasonable investment in Nigeria.
Nigeria's investments in Ghana is running into billions of dollars, from large firms to individual companies. The few Nigerian miscreants there do not blot out the impact of Nigeria's economic impact in your local economy.

Ghana still make us of Nigeria's satellites for agriculture, weather, geology and environmental protection.

Nigeria still shoulder's ECOWAS burden financially, logistically and materially.

We are still amongst the 5 biggest African country financing the AU today and tomorrow.


I cannot envisage Ghana deporting Globa com, GTB, Dangote, first bank, Access and the whole lot of thousands of Nigerians who do retail and wholesale in Ghana's mainarket.


Tell me, when was the law in Ghana passed? That law that stipulates that Nigerians should employ at least 4 Ghanaians before they can run their business?

you are totally off point. you come up with the same old stupendous rants over and over again which assertion's my point.

kitombo:
The truth of the matter is that Ghana drew the first blood, when President Kofi Busia expelled Nigerians whom they felt had practically taken over their economy. "Ghana Must Go" was the Nigerian response!

This is my problem rather then settle this maturely and diplomatic you choose to act like some primary school kids. Two wrongs don't make a right. What prompted busia to expell Nigerians? (note it was not only Nigerians, they even deported Russians and Chinese.) was it not the same country that welcomed them in? So what went wrong? Same goes to the Nigerian case. Both demand the same questions to gave a sound judgment and not all this immature bickering

Lezzlie:
There's a misconception here!!

Ghana's economy is still far below Nigeria's, both in GDP per capita, GDP norminal and purchasing power parity (PPP).

When Ghanaians were here alot were teachers and professionals, the vast majority shoe-menders, gate-keepers, porridge hawkers and illegal nuisance.

The Nigerian government simple deported those illegal Ghanaians through diplomatic protocols and channels.


Fast forward to this day, the vast majority of Nigerians in Ghana control the domestic economy of that country. From macro/micro retail, services, import and export, real estate...etc.

Glo, dangote, GTB, Fidelity, and a host of Nigerian service firms are all in Ghana.

The difference is clear!!!

I expected that you will come up here soon. It's like you guys brains a tweaked towards never ending arguments and all manner of silly talk . I must commend you for your good use of English but the truth is that a lot of you including yourself speak with so much ignorance and indecency .

The topic was about reflecting on the Ghana expulsion from Nigerian. And you guys have turned it into a chest beating competition . Where is the sense there?

It's only normal that everyone will like to tell their stores to suite their own line. But let's learn to be truthful and say things as they are. As many as there were teachers and all sorts of artisans from Ghana in Nigeria. The same way there were also well to do Ghanaians with influence. The same is no different from when Nigerians where in ghana before the first deportation . So let's not try to sound one sided.

But one thing is for certain the ghana's majority that did their menial jobs did it well and did not constitute nuisance while living in Nigeria. They served a purpose
They even did better than their Nigerian counterparts. Every Nigerian that was opportuned to be tutored by a Ghanaian has nothing but good tales of their sound history and disciple. So were did there insults and belittling come from.? Is this how you people say thank you for the good they did?
On what grounds do you say you control ghana's economy. That Ghana gave you the allowance and the enabling environment to invest and do business in their own country now means that you control the economy. What an outlandish statement. You people need to learn some manners cos you have none

rabzy:
I met a Ghanaian man in sierra leone and he mentioned the initial deportation of Nigerians from Ghana. He said a lot of Nigerians deported were successful businessmen, many ogbomosho people easily recognized with their tribal marks. He said he lost a lot of classmates whose parents were sent packing from Ghana and many Ghanaian took over their homes.

Many Nigerians living in Ghana before the deportation had been their for decades and were doing very well, they did not go because of any economic deprivations.

Most Ghanaians have conveniently forgotten this, re-hashing the story of their own deportation from Nigeria, even in Ghana they sell those bags as 'ghana must go' . Cant they give it a different name, children yet to be born would keep asking why the bag is named like that, so the animosity persists.

you need to take your history classes seriously. And get some sense at that. So because a Ghanaian told you the Nigerians that were in ghana were will to do means that all of the people reporters were well to do and the Ghanaians in Nigerian were poor? The funny truth about the Ghana must go saga is that Nigerians bring up the issue and start hating over and over again. Who does that? A lot of Ghanaian youths don't know what Ghana must go means but use the bag with ease. Was the bag a Nigerian invention.? Was it not brought from abroad. ? I just tire for the way some of you reason

chukzyblingz:
. In Ghana doing what? Nigerians are sustaining your economy. No Nigerian makes his money in Ghana except a few Igbo business men. All nigerians do is bring in thoudands and millions of dollars to spend in Ghana. Ghana is peaceful. That's the only good thing about it. Standard of living is not comparable to Nigeria.

one of the most stupid statements I have ever heard

gbrown:
bro you ain't serious, Ghana dare not depot nigerians cos we keep their economy going, we are the number one patrons of all tiers of schools in Ghana, go to mokwola market in accra the entire place is littered with yoruba and igbo, nigerians own countless choice properties in Ghana, we keep their ports busy,our businessmen employ thousands of their people,the printing press business is dominated by yoruba,s

you guys have come again. You can't do without bringing in bragging rights for no reason. And the sad part is that majority of you are ignorant and living in a f00ls paradise. It's a pity a lot of you harbour this mindset. Do you think Nigeria is in the center and everything revolves around you. It's an insult the o say you are the back bone of a country cos you see your people doing business there.
If Ghana did not provide the enabling environment for business to thrive will your people be there.? If Nigeria provided the basic necessities will lot of Nigerian countries be in ghana? . If you are the ones developing Ghana why can't you create the enabling environment in you own land?or is it a fluke? If Ghana is not peaceful and a haven for investment will Nigerians flood to buy properties. It's foolish that you take pride in filling the end market and say you are king. Nigeria has a lot of resorts but I can tell you that Nigerians crowd Ghanaian resorts that no the ones in their own land. It's not even like many of them have visited the ones in Nigeria. Yet you say na we dey rock your places. Am yet to see the sense there. Well continue investing in Ghana.

Kgdavid:
Ghana's strong economy is a myth that refuses to go away. You people should read more

U too need to read more

magoo10:
they should be grateful to Nigeria for
helping them find solution to their problem,if they hadnt been sent back probably their country would be less developed

of you know ghana's history you will shut up

repogirl:
They look so excited to be leaving sef.....

cos there is no place like home

eyesofgod:
The Ghanaians were in Nigeria illegaly hence their deportation. As citizens of a Commonwealth country they didn't need visa but majority had no Ghanaian passport.They emigrated here in droves because of hard times induced by corrupt civilian rule in their country.
They provided useful services, though, and we're, generally, law abiding. However, their population was overwhelming. At that time Nigeria had fallen into economic recession so the authority decided not to play the big brother role.
It will be wrong to place Nigeria in the bad book of history solely by this issue. Though it was a regrettable act but was unavoidable.

U said the plain truth. But tull today the issue was not handled maturely

ednut1:
payback for deporting over 1m Nigerians from ghana in 1967or 1969 including my parents . Busia was no diff to buhari

busia had good intentions but wrong policies. Big mistake understanding caused the huge disparity between the two nations. Which was not mean to be.

tpiar:
Evidence the pictures are what the op is saying they are?

And where are the photos of the Nigerians deported from Ghana back in the day.

Those are accurate pictures

ifyalways:
Hahahaha.
Asem o

lol

Shameful coming from a so called blogger. Your types that seek to grow in their endeavor are there

obiZEAL:
Lolz....do they think the street is dumb ni!!!

unfortunately. We have a pack of dumbos in the streets. It baffles me with all the MSc and PhD. A lot of so called degree holders still can't reason as suppose to

obiZEAL:
Anybody that believes this act is a biggg fool...
Tb Joshua and Oyedepo have better actors now...

This is a low budget that's y. Something for the streetz

Pque:
if what we are seeing is real and nt fake, it is nt d gal talking but d demon in her. That is why d bible says wrestle nt against flesh nd blood bt against principalities nd power. D same demon can get out of her nd pick another servant through whom she works. Jesus also cast out legions of demons from a man, so it is possible for anyone to do same if he believes in d power that be.

RIP sense!! Haha!!

ceeceeuwa:
Stage managed confession
This pastor just exposed his folly to the world. Infact I am pissed!

Its a poorly scripted miracle act.

timidapsin:
Another video from me again

Do you remember that pastor( Chris Okafor) that revived a dead baby?
Guess what happened in his church last Sunday?

Shocking Revelation...

''89% of all Nigerian Musicians and Nollywood stars are members of Illuminati'' - Right Inside His Church In Lagos Nigerian Pastor Delivers Baphomet The God of Illuminati who killed Michael Jackson & Dagrin and she was worshipped by Chris Brown, Rihanna & Beyonce

lol. Cheap charlatans. They can do better

iykedare:
Op,this must be a joke. I see most of these buildings daily. Most of them are just there. Ever seen the intercontinental hotel, nestoil office complex ?

the nestoil office complex is a beauty. Also there is an office project coming up behind eko hotel. Owned by eko hotel. It looks nice.

orisa37:
This is like asking a King or a Queen to connect with his or her subjects, which is not necessary to ask. Christianity is the Boss of all others. It's a complete Religion of all Religions. It's The Faith, The Hope, God of Peace and God in Love. It's our true relationship with the God of the Universe. Wherever a Christian connects and worships is the Sanctuary of God Almighty.

This is racism

cocoama:
you are right my family plays a big role in this. i have considered seeing a psychologist but am not really the type of person that opens up easily or likes to talk about my problems. I also find the fact that paying someone to 'talk' about why I am depressed of which I already know why is simply a waste of money and time.

you need that inner joy.

cocoama:
I don't know what to do any longer with myself and my life. I have been suffering from depression for as long as I can remember since my early school days but things just seems to be getting worse. I don't have any joy or happiness. I hate my job with a passion and I think am in the wrong profession too. I am not really close to my family and they don't understand me. There is so much going wrong in my life that I don't really want to go into nor I doubt people really care. I just don't want to feel this way anymore. Has anyone that has been depressed that has come out of it? What did you guys do? I really am down on my wits and am having really unsavory thoughts atm.

Girl you need to try as my much as possible to calm down and let out all the negative energy. There comes a phase in life that individuals do feel like everything is just going wrong with them. But it's never as bad as it seems The sense of having done something irreversible tends to make us despair...That opportunity is lost forever and you can't change that. But get up, and go on to the next thing"...Never let the sense of past failure defeat your next step." nobody gets to live life backwards ,look ahead that's where your future is. Don't be afraid to question yourself as to where things went wrong and try make amends. Look at your once envisioned goals and go for it. Tough times don't last but tough people do. You are tough. A strong woman of substance at that. It can only get better

PetroDolla3:
don't waste your time with these jerks! Most nigerians know their govts, since Obasanjo, had arbitrarily imposed a ban on imports of a range of items, even from Ecowas countries. And yet these same bigots are talking trash because Ghana sought to impose it's own restrictions? What sort of nonsensical reasoning is that? That it is fair for Nigeria to restrict imports and wrong for Ghana to do same? Such stvpidity!

Its funny that this case as been on for years and people always thought Nigeria was the victim. I guess it's clear now. Mahama complained about Nigeria protectionism but people considered him to be a cry baby. Well there will be no crying this time but doing what's good for business . I hope we learn and develop the indigenous market. Heard about the project ten? Am sure it will give Ghana a major energy boost

ODUBEZE:
so because Ghana ban Nigeria too must?
oh boy think of what and when its best for your people before implementing!
The situation on ground is more than do me I do U mission. U should proffer a lasting solution

ignorant people will not read into your statement

OlayinkaFawaz:
the time is coming when all nations will bow before naija

malaria dreams are not to be taken seriously

V0lv0:
This is a good thing. Tit for tat. I was wondering when Ghanaians would wake up and smell the coffee. Nigerians have it easy when it comes to exporting goods to Ghana while Ghanaians are banned from exporting the same things Nigerians can easily export to Ghana. The things that they are able to export to Naija you have to follow a very long process with so many protocols and certificates etc. So now the best way will be this way.

bless u dear. We have been too lenient and taken as fools. When Nigerians are allowed to bring their products into a country the consider it as African brothers working hand in hand to support each other, but when it's the other way round, they get agitated that common Ghana etc . we have all what it takes to develop ourselves. So we work with nations willing to work

IGBOPRINCE:
mr man what is prohibition, you re the one that supposed to read the whole article again.
Wait let me copy it for you. Read again, you will see ban there.

contorted story. Ghana has not bam Nigerian products. Your media lie a lot

ErasmusCOMP:
Any responsible government will surely seek ways to make the 'balance of trade' be in their favour.

you are right. Well you have two regional powers, Ghana is not going to play second fiddle after allowing Nigeria to import into its country and Nigeria is not fulfilling it's part.

OXYGEN01:
I think you need to read the whole article because there's nowhere in the article that made mention of Ghana banning goods from nigeria and other countries.
The op is just trying to mislead people

bless you bro. The Nigerian media is at it again with their lies and concoctions about Ghana. I read the news some days ago and followed up the report

Atm it's an opinion by the association of Ghana industries that Ghana must come up with its own ‘prohibition list’ and refuse
certain goods entry because Nigeria has not been following the ECOWAS
Trade Liberalisation Scheme agreement and is playing smart, but Ghana has not technically banned Nigerian products as the op is trying to insinuate.

the Trade and Industry Minister Mr. Ekwow Spio- Garba never made the statement that that Ghana and Nigeria are said to account for some 68 per cent of
the ECOWAS region’s Gross Domestic Product. It was just a fact put up by the reporter.
This peeps are fond of twisting and concocting stories
