hahahahaha and yet you couldn't move motion to open Nigeria's border.
Morocco would have come to Ghana when she requested to join Ecowas but rather her king came to Nigeria, you know the reason, because the key player calls the shot.

This is the last attention I'm given you. You or Ghana ain't worth my attention.
The Morrocan kign went to nigeria because he wanted your oil

he came to Ghana for Ghana support in becoming an ECOWAS member because he knows, it is only with the support of Ghana that he can become a member of ECOWAS.

Why is that so?
Because Ghana can persuade a lot of votes

And besides, we are talking about the literate population. Education in Nigeria has been on a steady rise despite all the gloomy reports thrown all over the internet which expectedly is sport to you. You can't compare the amount of people who couldn't do basic reading and writing of 10 years ago to now.... Everyone is heading to school in most of Africa and Nigeria being the largest population expectedly has the highest population... This shouldn't cause any back and forth at all undecided ...I'm not after your head boy.

you are right

Now that everyone is heading to school in Nigeria.
It beat our understanding that no concerted effort has been put in place to fix the quality of the education that everyone will get in Nigeria.

The level of dilapidation of schools is overwhelming and it should be a national emergency

No pain, no gain. Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana, Niger Republic. Chad Republic are begging Nigeria to open its borders complaining that their Economy and their people are suffering. Does it mean that all these countries rely on Nigeria to survive? Even far away Indonesia, Thailand and India are begging Nigeria to open its borders. So these are the countries that have combined with saboteurs among us to ruin the country.

Anything we cannot produce, should not be used in Nigeria. If we cannot grow and process ordinary rice, then let's be eating garri, fufu, amala and beans, we was not die. If we cannot produce vegetable oil, then let's be using red oil even to fry eggs, we won't die. A cost that cannot feed itself is now talking about industrialization.

If India, Thailand, Indonesia still want to be selling rice to Nigeria, let the come and least land in Nigeria, grow the rice here, process it here and sell to Nigerians. Anything short of that is a no, no.
where are those countries complaining or begging?

how is their economy suffering?

Nigerians don't care the broader closure means Nigerians cannot export to you by land either so the border closure affects any Nigerian who is trying to get goods to Ghana and frankly we do not care let us enjoy ourselves you people Benin, Togo and Ghana you say you are more developed than us and that we are a poverty capital well then let us enjoy our poverty is it by force that you must bring goods into the land filled with extreme poverty there is no business here you can go.

We are using this to grow our local economy and the farmers are greatly be benefitting from it over 100 rice mills have opened after the border closure Nigeria is on the way ti being self sufficient in rice and still have a lot left for exports to the rest of Africa
But do you think we care ?

Your border closure does not affect us one bit
our inflation has dropped to 7% and GPD growing at 8%

Trade with you is insignificant to us.
Our trade Union is only worried that the Ghanaian government hasnt looked out to protect them.
because whiles their goods is not entering your country, yours is entering ours without impediment.

this has nothing to do with Nigeria but everything to do with Ghana Government.
The Unions at a point asked Ghana out of ECOWAS because it is not beneficial to Ghana.

What we will do if border closure remains –Leader, Ghana traders union
punchng.com Oct 26, 2019 12:22 AM


Clement Boateng
Clement Boateng is the National Organiser, Ghana Union of Traders Association. He speaks on the closure of Nigeria’s land borders and how it is affecting businesses in his country in this interview with ALEXANDER OKERE

Why did your organisation condemn the closure of land borders by the Nigerian government?

It (border closure) wasn’t a right decision because it infringes on the ECOWAS protocol. The foundation of the ECOWAS protocol is the free movement of people, goods and services. So, if for close to three months, the borders have been closed and people cannot move freely, goods cannot exit or enter, then it defeats the ECOWAS protocol. That was the reason our association issued a statement condemning the closure of the borders by the Nigerian authority.

How specifically has this affected Ghanaian traders?

It is not only Ghanaian traders that the closure has affected; it has affected almost all the ECOWAS countries that are using the borders – it affects Benin (Republic), Togo, Ivory Coast and Liberia. Our association issued that statement for the purpose of all the (affected) countries.

Have you received any response from the ECOWAS Commission over the closure?

We are amazed that the ECOWAS Commission has not said something or commented on the closure of the border. Before Nigeria closed its borders, it should have done some consultations with the countries that would be affected by the closure.

Are you saying no consultation was done?

No consultation was done before we realised that the borders were closed. We can even attest to the fact that Nigerians are complaining about the closure because Nigerian farmers cannot export their products.

One of the reasons given by the Nigerian government for the closure was the need to stop smuggling, promote trans-border security. What’s your reaction to that?

Well, if those were the reasons given for the closure of the borders, especially regarding security, I wouldn’t have much problem with that. But the manner the whole exercise was done wasn’t the best. We are worried about that. The Nigerian government should have informed other ECOWAS members, their security agencies, about the exercise it wanted to embark on to check security issues, rather than just closing the borders. Now, people’s goods that are perishable have gone bad and people have lost huge sums of money. I don’t think it is the best.

Can you quantify how much your members have lost since the closure?

I cannot quantify what we have lost. I cannot specifically say the amount that has been lost. But as far as I am concerned, we have lost a huge sum of money.

Can you list some of the goods from Ghana that have been affected?

Nigeria has something known as ECOWAS trade mobilisation scheme which means that all the 50-member states can send goods that are manufactured by each country to each country. But for three to four years, Nigeria banned 41 items which cannot be imported and the ECOWAS Commission is not saying anything. Some of the goods banned by Nigeria are poultry products, pharmaceuticals, textiles and furniture and I don’t think this is the best thing to do because one of the reasons for the establishment of ECOWAS is promote trade among the member-states with goods manufactured by them.

Nigeria had also alleged a breach of the ECOWAS protocol on transit demand by some neighbouring countries that tamper with the seals of transit containers from Nigeria. How would you respond to that?

Well, if there was a breach, Nigeria has every right to complain to the trade department of the ECOWAS to sort it out. Anything that breaches the sovereignty of a country within the ECOWAS commission must not be allowed.

Do you think Nigeria’s decision has any implication on its economy?

I don’t think the closure of the borders was the best thing to do because in September alone, Nigeria made about N115 billion, which was a boost to its revenue. But Nigeria thinks the closure is good and wants to extend it to 2020, that’s why my association has complained and our government must talk with them (Nigeria). They (Nigeria) said they were going to open a special corridor for us to channel goods from Ghana going there and the other way round. But we want a total opening of the borders. However, if the special corridor is in the interim, I think we will take it like that.

Smuggling of illicit food items is a major problem affecting local economies. What has the Ghanaian Trade Union done to sanction its members who may be involved in smuggling?

As far as we are concerned, none of our members has been engaged in smuggling. I visited Nigeria twice or thrice in a year and no member of my association has been arrested for engaging in smuggling. I can say that Ghanaians don’t engage in smuggling.

How does the union intend to implement the proposed boycott of made-in-Nigeria products, according to the reported statement you issued?

I don’t know where that came from. Maybe one of my regions issued that statement. But as far as I am concerned, the national association has not come out with any statement of that nature. I will have to check from my regions. As far as the national (body) is concerned, we haven’t called for any boycott.

Why is your country not happy with the border closure?

The Ghanaian government is not happy and that was why, when we complained to the government, our foreign affairs minister had to quickly rush to Abuja to engage the Nigerian authorities. That resulted in an agreement that they will open a corridor for us. The Ghanaian government is working things out with the Nigerian government.

What has been the impact of the border closure on Ghanaian families?

The impact has been negative. We also have a number of Nigerians who are engaged in business in Ghana. They bring their goods from Nigeria to trade but they are all complaining. It is taking a negative toll on business and it is not only Ghanaians that are complaining.
let see what Nigeria will do when Ghana close it borders without consulting anyone and the goods of nigerians gets rotten and damaged causing losses
