I wonder what yardstick you used in arriving at your conclusion. All your developments in Ghana with 238,537 land mass
Kindly spread those developments in the same 923,763 land Mass here in Nigeria. You will truly come to conclusion that the development in Ghana is less than what we have in Lagos state

you dont need trillions of land mass to develop

Yardstick for development
HDI
per capita
standard of living
and the rest

Ghana beat you in all that

Afamed:
Joke of the century. Ask Benin, their present economic situation

What you dont get is, Benin will not feel much pain than the fact that their agricultural products will not be able to entire Nigeria for the short period and markets will have to re-adjust.

the actual pain is being felt by Nigerian traders who import their goods through Benin.

wait for the next economic indicators and see your economy run back into recession.

Afamed:
Which of the Lagos markets?

the entire buying and selling space in Lagos is too poor to be compared to even Tema.

Eteka1:
Its like you are drunk.

It's like you dont know
what Apples and Oranges are

how do you even compare an underdeveloped shithole to even Tema

mtisTheQubit:
OK your country is very expensive for a common Guy. .I checked your minimum wage per day and it $1.94 per day to change in 2020 to $2.16.
Now in Kenya the offitial minimum wage per day is kshs 700..that's like $7.00. Even the united official one is $5.00.
Even with that I don't think one can live comfortable in Acrra ..it's like you guys have ths elite thingy going...just saying

Ghana live by plan


you've not heard the Ghanaian magic before?

It is called the Ghanaian dream

rvp2018:
But why..undersupply of hotels.You make it sound like something to be proud about... anyway hotel investment is needed there.In Kenya we have a tourism fund that fund building such 3 star hotels and lodges...when it come to branded hotels and beds...what number are looking at?Kenya has twice Nigeria branded hotels and beds...South Africa is the giant of course...I imagine Ghana have little 5 or 6 star hotels hence the gorging by 3 stars.3 star should not cost more than 100 dollars

it depends on the market

Go to Italy or Greece and see what people are paying 500 dollars per night to sleep in
Demand and supply

Harlem2:
That's how Giant do......
.

But some people said Ghana is more developed

only scared uncompetitive economies close their borders

you cant even compete with Benin
yet you want to compete with Ghana?

In Ghana, we dont have to close our borders from trade just because people like Dangote are smuggling rice and cement through the Togo border.


we have mechanisms to check that to make them pay the right taxes

Goldencheese:
I share your sentiments. Na just ordinary border we close and they are shouting, if we ban their goods and citizens from entering our country, the United Nations will come and beg Nigeria. I thought they've been boasting now that they are better than Nigeria. Ordinary border, and everywhere is shaking. If they annoy us, we will just padlock the place and throw the key away. Lol.

dont worry
we will just ordinarily require a visa from Nigerian

and start sacking them from Ghana

psychologygh:
Nigerians are the dumbest people in this world. When Ghana locked just 400 Nigerian shops in a town in Kumasi alone,your government and trade unions were organizing protest at the ECOWAS office crying xenophobia and free trade buh you're here shouting Giant of Africa because you have unilaterally closed your borders to starve yourselves to death. GUTA had always hated you since Kwame Nkrumah and you have foolishly gave them a chance to eliminate you from Ghana. For your information millions of Nigerians live in Ghana and do trade of imports and exports. GUTA was the one who locked all your shops in Kumasi. Now tell me,Ghana exports goods worth just 80 million dollars to Nigeria for a country who exports 17 billion dollars worth of goods outside, less than 0.5% goes to Nigeria buh Nigeria exports goods worth 303 million dollars to Ghana in a year.If Ghana bans your goods,tell me who loses more.The minister is just a diplomat who knows how ugly it will be if Ghana retaliates so she's going diplomatic first to tell you to comply ECOWAS protocols .Warning to your country if you refuse her diplomatic settlement. Ghana never needs Nigeria.

They should be joking with GUTA
GUTA can single-handedly send the 3-5 million Nigerians packing from Ghana

Swanzi:
Nigerian goods are entering Ghana as I speak our borders are wide open that’s what I meant...after all ur beef is with Benin republic not Ghana ..
And please spare me that economic jargon of Lagos having a bigger economy than Ghana please is stale Lagos state as rich as it is cannot be compared to the Republic of Ghana.

thats the thing
Lagos is not rich

It couldnt even afford to raise 2.5 billion dollars in taxes last year

Even a village in Togo is richer that lagos

Afamed:
Who ever said that definitely must be Economical with the truth. How can you compare Ghana development with approximately land Mass of 238,535 klm with Nigeria land Mass of 933,763klm. The whole development in Ghana does not exceed what we have in Lagos State

yet Ghana is still highly developed than your entire Nigeria

Harlem2:
So why is Nigeria border giving them problem

You cant even compete with small Benin
yet you want to compete with Ghana ?


laughable

buhariguy:
The whole of ghana market is not upto lagos alone, if they like

Lagos market is smaller than the market in Tema alone

Nodogragra4me:
We have devised a means of dealing with this our neighbors particularly Ghana. I think we should allow their border closure to last some more months . We beneoft virtually nothing from that their border.

Yes, it affects them indirectly but it still hurts them to the point engaging us at the diplomatic level

funny

when Ghana retaliate
you will cry louder


hope you know what it means to lose 2 billion dollars
Equatorial Guinea will be soo happy when Ghana retaliate

sinkhole:
Who detained their trucks?
The trucks are free to return to Ghana now!

soon as those trucks return,

An embargo will be placed on Nigeria and goods coming from there.

hope you know how this ends

JaruJaru890:
when we have your time, u will cry and beg nigeria. Just switch light in kainji dam and the whole of ghana will be in darkness

Your kainji dam light doesnt even reach Abuja

you are here making noise

Area4Area:
Really, I thought some Ghanaians here were threatening Nigeria with a border closure against us so why the continued begging?

Open your mouths again against Nigeria and nobody would tell you the countries that can cause the political tension between them and Nigeria

Edited.

@my first bolded, which are those countries that can cause political tension between them and Nigeria because of our decision, dem no dey fear face?
The rest of ECOWAS is not up to our GDP nor population so who are they threatening? Leeches everywhere

does that look like begging to you


she is going to try to talk sense into your government before she will have to take a decision of her own as her trade Unionist have required her to do.

acesboy:
Even Ghana that claim to have a better economy than Nigeria still the suffer Nigeria boarder closure?? Lol....Una never see something.

Ghana is not suffering
but it wont watch it exporters be unfairly treated .

if you wont to close your border, you give heads up before you close it so that other people goods dont get stacked in transit

Jesse25:
Dont lie you know wizkid and davido u even dance to their song

who are they and what do they do?

Oh they make songs?
anyway, i dont dance to dumb music

I listen to the original music from the source of creativity.
whether Highlife or afrobeat

OROSUNBOLB:
Will you shut up your putrid mouth you this banku eating smelly monkey ? Why should I stop you from disgracing yourself by openly exhibiting your pitiable ignorance for the whole world to see! You lack education ninny.

The subject matter is obviously beyond your pedigree, hence the grammatical craps you put up there. I won't dignify a low life illiterate like you with my response any further,so bleep off my mentions kiddo .

Ghana ko,garri in!

see another illiterate Nigerian

when will you guys ever reason with your brains ?

Your country is nothing to Ghana but a gas station
so know your place

RTSC:
If they try it, Nigeria should come upon them very hard.

They want to prevent Nigerians from withdrawing money from our own banks in Ghana.

Banku eating shitts.

your own banks are the ones trading in Nigeria

any bank trading in Ghana is a Ghanaian bank

The central bank can basically choose to close anyone that it wants to close down and all the monies are with the central bank.

seankafor:
I thought they said we ain't shiit?

I thought they said they can overrun nigeria ?

I thought they said they can invade us?

These lil african infants ain't got respeck for their giants.

Put some respect on our name bitc'ches.

Since the border closure, no one has retaliated so hard, I thought by now they must have gone bazark on nigeria.

Ghana,Togo,Benin,Cameroun..now yall can see you ain't worth all the talks and chest beats..

Fvck how it turns out..the border remains closed..

youre making too much noise

if even Benin close it borders with 200 Nigerian trucks stacked across the border
The will be an uprising in Nigeria.


Saner countries give heads up to their neighbours before they close borders.

Boyooosa:
Its quite unfortunate that some of our myopic and corrupt leaders run this country down to this level, that you this just 30 year old boy or girl now has the effrontery to challenge Nigeria into Trade War. As at 80s, your ancestors have two major commercials in Nigeria, Shoe Shining (we call them sow bata) and Teaching, honestly, your ancestors were good at that because we found their accents interesting back then.
Fast forward to 2019 and the Border closure issue, rest assured that the decision made outside this online war but the practical ones between the two countries will affect both countries positively or otherwise, depending.
Lest work with facts and figure:
Nigeria has a population of 200m
Ghana has 30.42m (x6)

Nigeria running on GDP of $500bn
Ghana running on GDP of $66bn (x8)

Nigeria GDP per capita $2,450
Ghana GDP per capita $1,915 ($535 deficit)

Now, International Trade Impact Analysis
Nigeria Export to Ghana $159m (Greater demand from Nigerian Products in Ghana)
Ghana Export to Ghana $50m (Requires lesser products just to help you guys)

Economic Impact Analysis on Trade (Export against GDP)

Nigeria $159m against $500bn - 0.03%
Ghana $50m against $66bn - 0.075% (more impact on GDP and even economy at large )

The question is how can a rich dad rely on his dependent child?

kiddo

get your facts right before you engage in a discussion

Jesse25:
Bitch, Lagos And kano state pass ghana .....ur dumb so I we advice you ask Google

undeveloped lagos and village kano cant even compare to Takoradi


so shut up village boy

OROSUNBOLB:
This is way too funny ! Please go ahead and retaliate. We shall see who blinks first. Trust me your country is not in any position to blackmail Nigeria. Nigeria can singlehandedly crumble the economies of the whole west Africa subregion if she so desires and you are here talking about one tiny Ghana.

I don't even know what is always wrong with you Ghanaians. Who do you think you are? We know dey send u here o ! Go and check the balance of trade between Nigeria and Ghana before you start issuing empty threats here. If Nigerian government today, issues a demand for what Ghana currently owes Nigeria,your country's government and economy will collapse immediately.

See, all of you -Benin,Togo,Ghana,Niger etc are supposed to be colonies of Nigeria.

see the common Nigerian oo

You are at Ghana's benevolence
So shut up and learn

you cant move Ghana's economy one bit when Ghana does not trade with you.

ba7man:
You guys are too tiny to be noticed.

Nigeria has states with bigger economy than the whole Ghana.

care to mention one state ?

WhoBeThisMan:
my brother the whole Ghana economy should be compared to Lagos

the whole Lagos economy can only be compared to Accra

so Shut up

RTSC:
These Ghanaians should dare not do anything to Nigerian goods entering their country.
Else Benin and Togo would be better than them.
The border closure is not because of Ghana. They should be careful.

BTW, I overheard someone saying here they would shut down Nigerian investments in Ghana.
So if they shut down zenith or GTB in Ghana, how are they going to reemploy the thousands of ghanians that would be out of jobs?

That is besides the fact that Nigeria will go ballistic on them.

There are plenty of Banks already in Ghana to go round

we've already closed down more banks and banking institutions Numbering 600

how do you think the workers from there are getting reemployed ?

BlackLaw:
Oga we have more poor people than Ghana.
We have more rich people than Ghana.
It all boils down to the point that we have more people than Ghana.
Oya leave nairaland carry ur craze go cediland. This forum na for men wey sabi.

oh Lord
a typical Nigerian is really dumb




Argue with Ghanaians when 50% of your population is no more starving

psychologygh:
show me the IMF data or screenshot that calculated a city's GDP Norminal.You think IMF has time for this nonsense. You don't calculate a GDP Normina of a city easily especially when there's little data collection and reliable ones as Lagos state or whatever. Norminal GDP refers to the total number of goods produced in a state or nation as against inflation,imports and exports of trade.Nobody has such informations in a lawless city like Lagos.All other fake blogs who tell you the fake figures as Lagos GDP norminal is fake as a fake Nigerian scammer.Oh and add the part where Egypt of 100 million people has a GDP PPP of 1.2 trillion dollars beating your over 200 million population. And I have seen those fake blogs giving you fake hopes of Lagos GDP and let's even agree it's right,on that same list Johannesburg, Cairo,Cape Town who altogether combined has less population than Lagos of over 25 million people rank higher than Lagos State and Lagos is ranked number 4 on those fake blog sites.They also put Accra at number 10 richest city of 39 billion dollars richer than Uganda GDP norminal of 25 billion dollars buh population of 47 million people far more than even Ghana of 29 million people. Do you see us bragging or Egypt and SA bragging?

there is something wrong with the head of any typical nigerian


they read but dont understand

ba7man:
Blah blah blah...... nobody wants to be on Ghanaweb.....even Ghanaians, hence the reason why you're here.

Ghanaweb is a news portal

how many Ghanaians do you see here ?

meanwhile, there are like a 100 Nigerians on Ghanaweb

PetroDollax:
Middle class, lower class, upper middle class the bottom line is that Nigeria is a shithole. End of story. So since you people have closed your borders, how come nigerians are still coming to a Ghana in large numbers? the influx of Nigerians to Ghana has not stopped Nigerians are still coming to Ghana in large numbers every day Fuckeduppedness

i wonder if theres war happening there
