phineas:
Its their laws Nigerians should respect it.

Nigeria should also do the needful.We wont complain about ghanians doing petty trading.BUT

Nigerian markets are the major destination of multiple goods from Ghanian companies.Up to 90% in sone cases.These companies provide jobs to Ghanians at the expense of Nigerians.No one is crying wolf yet.

Time to revisit the ECOWAS charter

ECOWAS is useless

it is time everyone abandons it

Blue3k:
Why not amend the law or does hypocrisy suit the country better?

aint we all being nationalistic

let see how it ends.

Jaybnjamin:
Now I understand why those Ghanaians are so dark and so its their heart.
Any small issue like dis, na to run go lock foreigners source of livelihood.

cry me a river

wasiudvd:
They have laws.
Respect it.
But it isn't the trader's duty to enforce law though.

In Ghana
Law enforcement is a civic responsibility

Carmit:
I was there today. It actually is the BIGGEST and BEST bus terminal in AFRICA.
I must say.....that place is magnificently beautiful...the governments aim is to phase out those red brt buses and replace them with those new beauty buses (like I literally charged my phone and laptop inside the bus!).

best? maybe

but not as big as just only STC yard

maasoap:
When I said "Containers Universities", I meant literally not figuratively. I'm just imagining the kind of heat that would be in there

i guess you saw your container UNILAG on the bbc programme and how disgraceful it looked

vaxx2:
. medical student my ass. that dumb idiot.


The country is embarking on another 3 billion dollar loan for the poor electricity infrastructure. I hope this will work this time around.

me too

Stevoh18:
And you're proud of that

hmmm

pacretus:
you meant to say PHCN.
Well, dimwit.. I'm a medical student, as such spend a bulk of myp time reading, if you see me here, it's to exercise my brain a little.
I'm highly addicted to my computers due to the nature of my work. If there's anything called constant power supply, I get well over 17 hours of electricity and 3days constant, also with a stand by alternative source. So I'm not really who you pictured in your mind.

still the same


by alternative, you mean generator
no wonder you think from your ass.


the first dumb medical student I've come across .

You can see that our exports to Ghana is more of semifinished and finished products while that of Ghana to Nigeria is mostly primary goods.

We export more to Ghana and are supposed to be crying more but surprisingly Ghana has been crying and begging for Africa.

We have alternative sources for our imports from Ghana because we produce it too but Ghana would need to import from other countries because they can't produce them...underdeveloped economy.

there is something wrong with you

natural gas
and crude are finish goods?

pacretus:
Hello Wizzle, you decided to mark your presence once again.
Well sorry, I don't have time for raccoons now. Check back later.

nepa just give you light after 3 months of being off

enjoy charging your phone with real 240V electricity

grandstar:
As much as I condemn the despicable and counterproductive border close, the action will have a disproportionate effect on Ghana.

Nigeria takes in lots of non traditional exports from Ghana as one of your ministers have said. Many of these products are manufactured goods. Manufacturing is a Labour intensive sector. It may also discourage manufacturers from setting up plants in Ghana.

Ghana vibrant economy would be affected. It will definitely reduce your economic growth rate this year, but not at a devastating level

actually it will not

because Ghana export more to other neighbouring countries than to nigeria

and whiles demand for the same commodities will not come from Nigeria, the Ghanaian market can easily gulp those products because there are shortages of the same products all the time in Ghana.

the companies that export to Nigeria from here are usually free zones companies
by law, they are supposed to export 75% of their produce

meaning, though there are demands for those products in Ghana
Only 25% of their produce is available.

grandstar:
how much is a bag of rice in Ghana?I want to compare it with the Nigerian price

I would like to know the price of s bag of cement

50KG bag of rice is 240 cedis
50KG local rice is 190 cedis

Bag of cement is between 23 and 27 cedis

pacretus:
I take Ghanaian as dirty pigs including you.

I shouldn't be exchanging words with pigs. Its demeaning.

Now fvck back to where you fvcked from.

bush kids with small bundles like ranting all around the interweb

did they just connect your village to the internet?

adem30:
I hope you can see the percentage their debt is taking from their GDP? Don't be a programmed critic

debt dont take from GDP

Nwadiuto247:
Ghana noise maker pls don't worry yourself about our economy. Pls sell all the rice you imported your Ghana people.

Nigerians are already losing interest in rice. The demand for rice will soon go down here. Just note it

we produce 750-800 thousand metric tonnes of rice and consume just a little over 1 million tonnes of rice

so as you can see, we dont import much rice

though it still contributes to a large part of what we import

nonoski:
So Ghana and Egypt has more debt than Nigeria

cos Ghana and Egypt have greater capacities to pay their debt


if i were you, i would focus on Nigerian 27 billion dollars debt that is taking 80% of revenue collected to service.

this is the reason why your government is borrowing to pay salaries

Nwadiuto247:
Your president is wailing, his ministers are wailing, you and your fellow are here wailing yet you still want us to believe your foolishness. Na wa for you Ghana wailer..

why would i wail when my commodities prices are not going up ?


i heard there are serious cases of malnutrition already

Ttalk:
Meanwhile, this is for some intruders who said Nigeria has created a pathway for transit to and fro Ghana/Nigeria

you're pain oo

last week, 33 Ghanaian trucks went in

AskiaHarem:
Yea from stove to oven many people are going to burn unfortunately.

Disappointment awaits....

hehehe your pain and envy is deep


At least they come to meet better infrastructure

nototribalist:
shut up, Benin republic makes more money than you bastards

im laughing

youre making noise and crying all around as if Benin makes 3 billion from it ports

Agboriotejoye:
Funny enough, Benin does not allow importation of Nigerian cement and their customs do so effectively. How come our customs can't be like the rest of customs in West Africa. The bubu wey wan pight kwaraption, why can't he fight corruption in customs and get due credit?

that is exactly nigerias problem

customs

how do you ask Benin to help you solve your customs problems when the only real solution can only come from you.


everyone is solving their own customs problem

ikennaf1:
Ghana come into Nigeria to buy this, Ghana come into Nigeria to buy that. In all this your write up, I did not see anywhere you said Ghana came in to take this, or Ghana come into Nigeria to steal that.

If it was a western country that was coming into your country to buy things to sell in their countries, I'm sure you will be happy... But because it is your fellow black Africa country, that's why you're mad.

he doesnt know that it is his economy that is suffering when no one is buying from him

almarthins:
Hehehe
U tink say na because of rice, nigeria wan open border. Come january rice no go enter, thats if dem no pospone as per apc curse na. Dem sabi delay matter till wahala gas

you will still be importing rice because you dont produce enough to feed yourself

local production is only 3 million metric tonnes whiles you consume 6.5 million metric tonnes

tayebest:
Your economy is really feeling the heat that's why your president and ministers will always come begging and licking Nigeria ass.

Stop been bitter, we are not opening any border soon! Una go hear an this time

hahahaha

my ribs

my president will continue to speak for the rest of west africa to make sure you are not shortchanging others.


check the statistics of both countries
growth rate
inflation
and etc

Agboriotejoye:
Ignoramus
Cocacola scaled down the distribution network in Nigeria two years ago due to lower productivity and cost cutting leaving many jobless.
Guinness imports some of its drinks from Ghana.
Same with Unilever. Blue band margarine is no longer produced in Nigeria.

for Nigeria to be able to keep some of those companies, it really need to improve on it infrastructure
like water and electricity

drakeli:
This boarder closure has really opened my eyes to seeing the the kind of influence Nigeria controls in West Africa. We are literally the food basket of the region. All of them including Ghana are feeding on us. Let all those “Ghana is better than Nigeria crew” shot up forever. Wind don blow. We don see Ghana fowl yansh.

you sound funny and stupid at the same time


Can you explain why the prices of food is only increasing in your country Nigeria since the border closure
and there are shortages everywhere ?

meanwhile, all the economies in West Africa have not even noticed your border closure ?

tayebest:
Progressing kee you there! We just close border you guys are crying foul una never see anything

you are making too much noise whiles you are the one feeling the impact of the border closure

the cost of rice is still the same in Ghana whiles everything things else in your country is either doubling prices or adding 25-50% to prices

enjoy the shortages

ajl:
Mr, you are likely not Nigerian. I watched an online program with a Ghanaian minister. Going by all he said if Nigeria decides to close its border for a longer period, the economy of many Ecowas members will collapse. Do you folks think in terms of numbers. A 200 million market surrounded by countries with population of 8 to 30 million. The minister said certain Ghanaian products are only good for Nigerian markets because our standards lower than say Asian countries or Europe. This is not about chest beating or anything of sort. The entire Ecowas market is sustained by "standardless" Nigerian economic system. Demanding high standard products will have a huge impacts in terms of cost to these Ecowas countries, not to talk of totally closing land borders. Other Ecowas countries are lucky that Nigeria have always been "blessed" with dumb leaders.

you will be dumb to think that way

you should check the figures

go get sense else where

Area4Area:
We agree, my certificateless president has spoken and there's nothing your president can do about aside begging and crying.

Yeah yeah, other countries approached Ghana to be their spokesperson but if we ask for a link, you'd run away.

my president does not even care if your border remains close for a century

he will only make sure Ghanaian traders are not unfairly treated in the name of ecowas

We pity them but they've become so arrogant and we must deal with them.

They can't even pay up a small debt that Lagos, Kano or Rivers States can pay within seconds

Ghana does not owe you shit
