Is the link above Ghanaian and "your media"? That is one of the links i provided. They even posted the below pictures of one of your pit latrines and a news broadcast from Ghana One Television.

You Ghanaians lie for every reason even when there is no need

guy check the records

at least Ghana have a programme to end the 15% of population that dont have access to improve sanitation facilities by giving them free money for them to build their own sanitation facilities.

speak about your 80 Million people with pan latrines and 47 million people who do open defecation

King44:
when Nigeria put policy in place to ban students studying in GH we will see who would beg las las

Ghana will not beg oo

have you seen the UK begging for students before ?

the current trend is Ivory coast students
Gambia students
Equatorial Guinea student
Liberia
and etc

that is nothing

when you have 200 million mouths to feed, you will have to import more won't you?

gidjah:
you seem to make some sense by been rational in some of your posts, but please don't mix sentiments with the ideal , Nugeria purchasing powers is way more than that of Ghana sir, some of us have once been IN your nation and have seen how far you guys have gone, the major issue with Nigeria is the tribalistic and ethnically inclined leadership,Nigeria is seriously way beyond in Ghana in economics, despite the weaknesses many of our political leaders, don't think the likes of Dangote and Adenuga and Alakija are richest in thier fields for nothing o, it is a reflective of our societal economical influence here. Though most of us here condemned the closure in its entirety as it is a result of the illiteracy level of the leader here .Our poor,population has great powers to boost our local economy and that's what you guys lack out there .the solution to headaches is not in cutting off the head.Our current leader is just not intelligent and bold enough.Else those manning the leaderships of the boarders should be dropped and even charged for failure.But because the leaders were tribalists, they cant remove the very ones they impose on us as the security agencies.Custom failed, immigration failed, police failed, Army and Airforce also failed but the leaders there still retained their offices simply,y because they were brought in by the same man complaining. Why should ars enter our lands without proper divine tatiins for heaven sake ?

sorry tosay you are no where compare to Ghana in economic matters.
and this is not sentiment but fact

the Ghanaian economy is more diversified than yours
the Ghanaian economy is more resilient than yours .

those are all factual statements
Ghana may have a small population, but has made great use of that small population to achieve result.

this is not to say we dont have our own unique problems.
Nigeria really need to get it act together and fix it problems.

the country can start with the recommendation from Sanusi the past governor

King44:
you see that ECOWAS thing na bullshit cos moving to other WA countries is not free anymore especially GH n traders over there are subjected to all kinds of assault so what is the essence of ECOWAS fk ECOWAS

ECOWAS is a waste of everyone time

we should all return to WTO standard

Tetehjewels:
We are a nation of about 200m yet do not have pit latrines but rather use proper WC system while you are a country of about 28m yet pit latrines are the order of the day yet those pit latrines are never maintained and end up stinking up the environment and neighboring homes. You really need to stop lying to yourself.

Read for yourself



OR



OR



OR

you keep making noise

our media have a way of drawing our government attention
they just have to put up a false reportage and the government will rush to fix the problem of the particular community.

That reportage was done by citifm to get the government to fix a problem in Nigo Prampram

86% of Ghana population have access to improve water and sanitation


47 million Nigerians practise open defecation – UNICEF
80 million in dire need of improved toilet


The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has said that no fewer than 47 million Nigerians still indulge in open defecation in the country.

Also, 33 million people in the country use unimproved toilet, while 90 percent of households use water that is contaminated.

Now, UNICEF further said, about 80 million Nigerians are in dire need of improved toilet as unsafe drinking water, open defecation and poor hygiene have remained major causes of under-5 death in the country.

This is coming on the heel of the newly released 2018 Nigeria Demographic Health Survey (NDHS,2018), which revealed that the number of under-5 children dying yearly have continued to increase in the last 5 years.

The latest NDHS document states that under-5 death increased from 128 deaths per 1,000 live births in the 5 years prior to the 2013 NDHS, to 132 deaths per 1,000 live births in the most recent 5-year period (about 1 million U-5 children die yearly).

Many of these needless deaths have been traced to diarrhoea and water borne disease. Latest findings from the Federal Ministry of Water Resources (FMWR) states that more than 100,000 children under 5 die each year due to diarrhoea, making Nigeria the second country with the highest Children’s death from diarrhea.

These deaths could however be reduced if there is an end to open defecation and practice of good hygiene, sanitation, UNICEF-Nigeria Communication Specialist, Geoffery Njoku, told journalists, during an EU-UNICEF sponsored media dialogue on sanitation tagged “CLEAN NIGERIA: USE THE TOILET”, which held yesterday at Tahir Hotel Kano, Kano state.

According to him, there’s a huge link between sanitation, open defecation and child survival, hence the need for all to join #The Clean Nigeria Campaign.

A breakdown of the deplorable situation of open defecation, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) situation in Nigeria, by WASH Specialist, UNICEF-Nigeria, Bioye Ogunjobi states that

“1 in 3 Nigerians does not have access to basic drinking water services. 90 percent of households use water that is contaminated.

King44:
you said we can't compete with them when their economy relies on Nig economy to strive do u even know Nig land mass and population n resources if not for poor management by know we would have bought your country well it is what it is, when we restructure Nig your eye go clear, for that fact that your gvt taxes anything that doesn't stop smuggling from your country to ng it is what the gvt see the gvt would tax what about those things the gvt can't see lol see leave Ng o n their border closure and if your gvt is gullible spark a trade war and we would see where it would land your country a word is enough for the wise

besides if your country stops ng traders from bringing in things it would be a blessing in disguise for the gvt cos Mr buha doesn't support leaving the country when things are hard so when things becomes unbearable they will run back home you see I wonder hour you would hurt a country that is made up of a consuming population if we could get it right it will be a win for your country n a win for us but at the moment it is a win for you and a loss for us

Nig big brother role is killing this country we need to set things right GH just give this admin to do the right thing for once

it is not a win for us

it is a win for your country now because Ghana operate an open economy

Your country does not allow cement from Ghana into your Nigeria but Ghana allows cement from Nigeria into Ghana.
so if you continue to block Ghanaian manufacturers from your market, Ghana will also close it consuming market to your manufacturers and re-exporters.

i guess that is fair, isnt it?

Mckandre:
ure getting it wrong,if like u said we export more to ghana that means our re product is in high demand in ghana,if that should stop u all will starve nd we simply find someplace else to sell our products.

you need to check how China is surviving

China has stopped importing all Agriculture product from the US and is getting them from Brazil as US farmers go bankrupt.

Majority of what you reexport to us come from China and are not made in Nigeria so be careful what you wish for.

gowaga68:
In as much as I don't want to comment in this thread this comment of yours made me arrive at chipping in my thought.

1). Under no headline news did I come across *Nigerian government or officials went to seek/beg from Ghana* to dialogue on finding a solution to the boarder issue. *Ghana did.

2). Chest beating online isn't the same with doing that in person (even ant can form elephant online)

3). You kept shouting GUTA ,is that the ruling party or a new set of touts?

The remaining jagons you've been spilling are nothing when it comes to Nigeria.

Next......

Because Ghana has to
it is Ghanaian manufacturers goods that is stacked at the Benin border because your government is refusing them entry.

you are only being warn of the consequences for now because Ghana can do worse and even Dangote and your oil marketers will feel the heat

Tetehjewels:
Lmao you call a pit latrine a wash room? I am talking pit toilets and you are busy claiming wash room. Does this look like a wash room to you?

Even your own press is lamenting about the lack of proper toilet availability. The attached images are from pit latrines in Ghana which you want to pass off as wash rooms you liar

https://www.modernghana.com/news/305131/world-toilet-day-and-the-challenge-of-access-to.html

what you dont know is

your situation is far worse

check the UN report on sanitation in your country and how you guys openly defecate everywhere

disgusting smelly country.

Barzinime:
Be deceiving yourself,you should be comparing Ghana to Lagos not Nigeria.

Lagos should be comparing itself with Tema

loswhite:
can you list the services that are subsidize? How can you subsidize an imported products... please just keep quiet

it is even funny

King44:
the motive is to curb smuggling of fire arms and food products, if Ghana can't strike a deal with the government and prevent smuggling from their on end just like Mexico and America are doing at their borders I don't see Buhari bowing to that threat and at the end would suffer before we start reconsidering opening it, as of the moment we can still absorb anything we produce until we reach a sufficiency level that is when that threat would mean a lil thing but for now if Ghana yield to the trade it would result to a trade war and grudge because as I said the motive is to prevent smuggling n not a trade war, GH gvt should work on preventing anything smuggling from their end n watch how things unravel

smuggle goods do not pass through Ghana

as everyone knows, Ghana is an expensive place to live
Ghana tax everything that flys or walk .

so if your government is targetting smuggling, it should look within and fix it problems and stop picking a new problem with a country it cant compete with.

Tetehjewels:
Lmao at this doofus.

I have lived in upper manya krobe, Up north and now in central region and all i see are smelly pit latrines at the back of some homes with community pit latrines in designated spots for mass use. Very disgusting sight which is why many of your women suffer from what you ghanaians call WHITE frequently due to the mass usage of these unhygienic pit latrines .

A home with WC in Ghana is regarded as luxurious. I am a Nigerian in Ghana and speak the realities while you are a Ghanaian trying to lie and deceive others with your fake eldorado images about Ghana.


Attached pics are what a typical bath house looks like for a ghana home and what the community pit latrine looks like. Stinky things

you are taking pictures of schools washrooms and posting them around

even in Sweden, schools have shared washrooms.

the ordinary Nigerian school does not even have a washroom

they shit in plastic bags

what a dumpster

Nigeria is a smelly place
if you want prove, just check the UN wash programme on sanitation, water and etc

obidark:
i dont think you are the right person to be representing ghanaians on this forum....

you no get sense....

im a Ghanaian
so im the right person to represent my country everywhere

you are too demented to take me on

Afamed:
You are all confused element. You free education and you go ahead to increase PM price. Does that sound reasonable to you?

yes it does

because every Ghanaian benefit enough from the system to be able to pay their indirect taxes

here, we dont complain when our government taxes us because we earn more than enough to survive.
We only complain when our government is trying to be shady with the tax.

your entire country is relying on your government subsidizing petrol to feed the rich
if they stop, there will be a civil war in your country.

McPolomy:
Lol��... don't mind these"wannabes" (just30 and co.) trying to be relevant but instead they are revealing their ignorance and stupidity more.. cant even defend their points logically.. I don't blame them.
In my opinion, I think Nairaland is giving to much sense of belonging to these "Ghanalanders"( just30, psychologygh and co.). Imagine lizards and wall geckos having a selfies with a Komodo dragon all in the name of "reptilias family reunion".... don't worry it's not your fault, by the time Nigerian Buhari-led government is done and set our priorities straight as the Giant of Africa and Ghanaians can't effectively run there economy
without Nigerian government support, then your government would send emissaries to appease the "Big Brother" then you'll know the difference between "a child's penis and an adult dick". Ask Turkey how America taught them how to be humble to a big brother...
Nigerian government only sneezed you're wailing, by the time we cough you will pee on your body.. many of you are supposed to still be in Lagos or Aba selling what you know how to produce best(bread buns, egg buns etc. in showglass� you're here on Nairaland spewing trash because (Seun), a Nigerian gave a platform on a platter of gold� Nonsense and ingredients.. bros dey ur dey... make I no reason you oo..

we both know
Nigeria is never going to get it act together
let alone to know how to make it population advantage to it economy.

your dumb government is already calling your population a burden
it is funny how you think you can take on a united Ghana

TemmyT002:
If Ghana bans the products, other countries will take it up. That's how export works.

hehehe
which other countries ?

nototribalist:
we are squeezing Ghanaian balls, just a little more squeeze you all will crash and die

you cant squeeze Ghana

we are too big for you
too resilient for you to even comprehend

expecially your dumb politicians

Afamed:
Free education to increase pump price. To you is that education still free? Robbing Peter to pay Paul . I have told you your economic teachers in Komasi are really doing more harms than good to you.

yes it is

Because weve used taxation to pay for everyone both rich and poor attaining the same quality of education

Unlike before where the poor will still pay tax but their children wont be able to attend high school.

mind you, taxing petrol and diesel means you are only taxing a certain class of people in society.

especially when you have mass transit working
thought not efficient

360command:
textile is a contraband goods in Nigeria.. so any textile product entering Nigeria is smuggled from Benin .

Spare parts are not contraband. Motor vehicles above 15years are contraband.

Nigeria makes textiles, Nigeria also makes some spare parts which are made in Nigeria

I KNOW every goods is contraband in Nigeria

that is a scared economy
An economy that cant compete with even Benin.

your textile makers are even infringing on Ghanaian designs and smuggling them into Ghana.

Tetehjewels:
Will you shut your dirty lying mouth. Which every home uses LPG in ghana? Till date charcoal pots are in high demand in Accra and so is charcoal supply. Villages in ghana use pit laterines with so many homes not even having designated pit laterines of their own. They rather build community pit laterines where maybe 100 houses can share.

These homes only have dedicated bath enclosures with no roof but no toilets.

The fact that you cannot use 100 cedis to buy anything in Ghana shows how useless your currency is compared to holding 10k naira in your hand and its spending power in Nigeria.

Go to Nigeria with 100 cedis and see if you will not die of starvation by the time they convert your 100 cedis to Naira

funny
this guy is another dumb nigerian clown


no amount of insult will make you sound reasonable


Even in the villages, everyone cooks with LPG
unlike your poor country where LPG is not even affordable .

In the villages, Ghanaian households build their own toilets and bath in their houses to feel comfortable living aaaaaaaaat home
pit latrines stopped being a thing in the 80s

hope your country manages to change the bushy lives of it 100 million extremely poor citizens like Ghana have done.
where they dont have to result to open defecation or cook with tree logs.

100 dollars can buy you very little in the US
but when you bring it to both Nigeria and Ghana
it is big money, isnt it ?

that is how value is measured

if i bring 100 cedis to Abuja like ive done before, it is big money
because your country is so worthless and i can buy the entire Abuja.

Your 10K will do very little in Ghana
even electricity bill will finish your worthless 10K

We are the Giant of Africa jare

a giant afraid of small Benin

Tetehjewels:
That your broken rice that turns to milk at the end of the day? Your rice is so ridiculously wack that the best rice in ghana is times 4 the cost of rice in Ghana. I spit facts charlie. Your rice is super wack. Cook it for even 10mins and it will turn to paste or milk. The other kind of rice you have needs to be cooked for almost an hour because the more you cook it, the harder it gets and you need to keep adding water to ensure it cooks evenly otherwise some part will be cooked while the other part will be hard.

hehehe

this one does not know how to cook
and he is blaming the rice

Still 50% - 60% of rice eaten in Ghana is locally grown
we dont have to close our border for that to happen.

Local rice is cheaper

Tetehjewels:
Ghana developed? I laugh in Fanti

laugh out loud into recession again

your central bank will ban you again from using your bank cards outside of Nigeria

what a dustbin country

joegab:
We don't care about these trash that even tiny country like Ghana always humiliate our people. By the grace of God we have all it takes to be self sufficient, most importantly we have population ,to hell with Ghana

so be self-sufficient and stop blocking people goods



shouting self-sufficient is not what will make you self sufficient
market forces determine that

Tetehjewels:
They did not agree based on your lies. its pure sibling encouragement which we have always given to Ghana. You are surrounded on every side by french speaking countries who detest you to the core because you are more of English speakers same with nigeria. The only big brother you have who truly cares for you in ecowas is Nigeria and this is why we do not want your people to die of hunger which is why we gave you this concession.

Ghanaians prefer Nigerian products any day any time because your products NEVER meet up with international standards yet are expensive. You all want to make wad through ridiculous exploitation of each other as ghanaians.

its funny

Nigeria that has to use Ghana in order to be able to export because Nigerian products never meet international standard is talking to a Ghanaian about standard
this is the funniest thing ive read alll day

Our neighbours do not hate us
they love us because the benefit huge from us

Burkina Faso entire agriculture sector is dependent on consumption from Ghana
Ivory Coast entire soap and pomade making industry is dependent on purchases from Ghana
Togo free port is dependent on transit goods to Ghana and Burkina Faso

aminusodiq:
so if dey have no problem with it as u claimed. why are dey crying? .... our people shld b d one protesting.... not ur GUTA or PUTA ni!!!... by d way wat at u doing on nairaland??... is it a Ghana site too!!!!??

our people are talking because their goods are stacked at the Benin border

Tetehjewels:
The closure forced them to increase the pump price of PMS recently. The thing is hitting them hard

you are funny

Ghana increased it pump price because of a new government tax that seeks to pay for free education.

Now get sense
Crude oil is not imported by road

golddust6000:
gdp per capita are same.

one Ghana per capita is higher by 35 dollars

Tetehjewels:
Will you stop with your lies. Purchasing power in Ghana is 3 times LESS than what you have in Nigeria. I live in Ghana and so i know. Your country is so unnecessarily foolish that it has forced its own people to be reliant on Charcoal and firewood and pit toilets even in the cities. This is just so the people can cut down expenses on LPG and water bills.

This is funny

when every household in Ghana uses LPG for all their domestic use and uses their on toilet even villages have toilets in their houses.

the fact that i can use just 100 cedis to buy the entire Abuja should tell you how worthless your country is
come here with 2000 naira and see if you wont starve to death
