NigeriaIsDoomed:
That soulless cobweb that their folks are running away from.
There are more Gaynians on Nairaland than Gaynains on Ghana cobweb
Nairaland is to Ghanaians what oxygen is to life.

you mean there are more Nigerians in Ghana than there are on dumb Nairaland

wow

how you guys love Ghana

Its time we locked our borders

SilvaBullet:
You suffer beyond inferiority complex. The basic cognitive prerequisite to engage in factual debate seems beyond your intellectual circumference.

We're talking about busiest sea ports as a standard in determining the volume of economic activities through the ports and you're yapping from that putrid orifice you call a mouth about deepest sea port. Unbalanced patriotism has damaged your sense of reasoning.

The sheer length of your meaningless doodles only prove how desperate you are trying to prove yourself. But you ended up sounding like an ill-exposed anencephalic dingbat from Ghana.


Ghana's gold export in the whole of 2018 was 5.7 billion dollars and it's by far your biggest export commodity. This is what Nigeria earn on a monthly basis on crude export alone

so can you explain why Nigeria is still an underdeveloped and impoverished country with starving people?

at least with that money, Ghana has been able to move 90% of it population out of extreme poverty.


what have you done with 35 billion dollars of oil export
by far your largest export commodity?

ba7man:
I swear. Sarkodie is the only Ghanian guy i rate.

The rest are so irrelevant, even their babes get levels pass them.

but who is relevant in Nigeria ?

we know none oo

ba7man:
Even all that Togolese port activities is due to goods they smuggle into Nigeria.

How many people are even in Ghana sef? Outside Accra, the rest of the country is dead.

hahaha

this one thinks Ghana is as dead as Nigerian

90% of Ghana's exports does not come from Accra so your comment is factually wrong

ba7man:
You guys are weak joooor, we don't rate you in the scheme of things.

Imagine, Ghanian dey try get mouth when Naija dey talk......

The fact that it's even Ghanian accent you're probably going to say all this already makes you lame.

see a nigerian talking about accent ooo

wonders shall never end



every single Nigerian need to go back to KG and learn phonetics

WorWorBoy2:
Go and die stupid Ghanaian.

this one is pained and catching feelings


direct your frustrations to buhari

DarkJeddi:
You are an 1DIOT.

If Nigeria is worthless as you claim..

What are you doing on Nairaland?

F00L

Don't quote my mention with your foul-mouthed STVPIDITY again..

#NITWIT

TO put a stop to your stupidity of always comparing yourself with us

you are not a competition

OwenDesired:
Ghana is now feeling the heat.
O how I wish we have land border with South Africa.

Did you just say that


hahahaha funny

as if Ghana does trade with Nigeria that much

your people are the once suffering

seankafor:
Lol..watch ? When we already carrying ot out..

What do you think ghana can do to Nigeria?

Drag Nigeria before both ECOWAS and ITO
before Ghana stops importing gas from Nigeria.

When we stop, Togo and Benin will also stop importing your gas.
Ghana can easily divert the West African Gas Pipeline from an intake From Nigeria and contract Equatorial Guinea to supply the three countries with gas and soon to be a member; Ivory coast

Jesse25:
Abeg help me ask den well watin Ghana dey produce that we can't get in china too,

why would you ask that?

Ghana does not care about your market size
there is no value in it for Ghana and that is why, Ghana does very little trade with Nigeria.

What we produce, you can't afford to buy.
If we supply you electricity today, your pocket would not be able to afford it.

Nanatrendy:
I think you've forgotten there's a country called china where we can get the same thing from Nigeria at a cheaper rate. At the end of the day who really looses?

he is deluding himself

If Ghana Stops buying from Nigeria and place an embargo on trade with Nigeria
Nigeria will go into recession
Because, it will be 2 billion dollars market lost to Nigerian oil companies.


Ghanaian businesses will only lose 75 million market.

so as you can see, Ghana does not need you or your market.
Equatorial Guinea is on Ghana doorsteps begging for the 1 billion dollars gas market in Ghana

Jesse25:
Your a bastard hope you know ...Nigerian is still ten times better than Ghana accept and stop being a crying baby

care to mention just one thing ?

i like your love for country but don't delude yourself

rosebowl01:
You really think you have a chance at a trade war with Nigeria? A country with about 65% of west Africa’s gdp? Common do the maths!
Nigeria might be messed up in a lot of things, but that doesn’t negate the fact that it is comparatively much bigger and diverse than even the rest of West African economies combined.

Ghana only does 75 million dollars trade with Nigeria


You dont want to go on a trade war with Ghana
You'll lose 2 billion dollars oil market in Ghana.

kantanka car( Ghana made car )double production as demand in Nigeria soars .......

Local car manufacturer, Kantanka Automobile has revealed that the company doubled its production capacity to some 250 units last year.

The company attributed the increase to the high demand of cars from neighbouring country, Nigeria as it produced some 400 cars to hit the market.

“Production is currently still on-going; we have doubled last year’s production and we have just recently added an order of 100 vehicles to hit the Nigerian market. We are expanding our facilities, our workshop and now we are also poised to produce more cars to hit the Ghanaian market as well,” General Manager of Kantanka Automobile, Francis Kudjordjie revealed to reporters.

However, in 2018, the company said that it secured about 13,000 orders from 3 African countries. This order, according to the Chief Executive, has been the company’s biggest order ever since production began.

The car manufacturer, earlier this year announced that it will commence the production of electric cars as it is ready to produce them in Ghana by the end of this year.

“By the end of this year, Kantanka will build electric cars that could travel between Accra to Kumasi before recharge. We intend to do that before this year ends,” Kwadwo Safo Kantanka Junior, Chief Executive Officer of Kantanka Automobile earlier stated.

According him, the move will demonstrate to Ghanaians the company’s readiness to adapt to technology that can stand the innovation and competition on the global stage.

KIA rated best in West Africa


The Airport Council International (ACI) has ranked the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) the best in West Africa.

The rankings which were done in the first quarter of 2019 also rated KIA the fourth-best in Africa, an improvement from the previous year where it was ranked sixth.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo who disclosed this at an ongoing annual general assembly of the Airport Council said government is strictly adhering to quality standards to position KIA as the preferred in the world.

“Ghana’s aviation industry has seen considerable growth in recent years, made possible by the continuous creation of a stable political, social and economic climate. We have liberalised the regulatory framework within which the industry operates.

“In addition to this, we have abolished the 17.5 percent VAT on domestic airfares which has led to almost a doubling of domestic passenger traffic,” he added.

The president also disclosed that international passenger numbers have grown by 6.7 percent as at September 2019 compared to 2018.

Airfreight movement has also increased by 5.9 percent with 38 airlines currently operating in Ghana, connecting directly to 30 different destinations around the globe.

This generated some 2.7 billion dollars to Ghana’s GDP in 2017 alone.

According to the 2017 figures released by the International Air Travel Association (IATA) the global air transport industry supports 62.7 million jobs worldwide.

Aviation’s global economic impact amounts in value to $2.7 trillion with 3.5 percent of global GDP generated supported by aviation. The figures also show that every day, 9.8 million passengers take to the air with 104, 000 flights and $18.6 billion worth of goods are carried.

IATA notes that air traffic globally has been growing at five percent annually and is projected to grow at 5.6 percent per year over the next 20 years.

The air traffic transport industry in Africa in 2017 supported some 6.2 million jobs and contributed 55.8 billion dollars to Africa’s gross domestic product with a 4.5 percent growth rate.

According to AITA Africa by 2037 and with an annual growth rate of 4.5 percent will have a total market of 334 million passengers.

President Akufo-Addo does not want Ghana left out of this growth.

He indicated that in order to maximise the full potential and benefits of the aviation industry, upon assumption of office in 2017, his government established the Aviation Ministry to develop the Ghanaian Aviation Industry and make it competitive in West Africa with an ultimate goal of making it a hub within the region and beyond.

“Completing ongoing aviation projects in all parts of the country reassure me that this vision will soon be realised.

“We have started the construction of new aprons at the northern end of the KIA, the construction of new passenger terminal buildings for the Kumasi and Tamae international airports - alternatives to KIA - and the rehabilitation of the Sunyani Airport,” he said.

President Akufo-Addo also revealed the Aviation Ministry has initiated plans for a dedicated programme, dubbed the Aviation Driven Development with the aim of using aviation as the driver of socio-economic transformation.

This project will see a maintenance overhaul and repairs facility at the Tamale International Airport, construction of cargo facilities, development of aviation training organisation and construction of state of art control tower at KIA, among others.

“Our airports will continue to undergo systematic facelifts through in infrastructure rehabilitation. We also intend to continue to open up the country by constructing addition airports to serve as feeders for the KIA.

“The progress being made in the aviation sector, is ample evidence of our commitment to collaborate and cooperate with all industry stakeholders and to champion the cause of global and regional policies such as the ‘no country left behind initiative’, the single African air transport market and thereby enhance safety and security,” the president said.

Hapag-Lloyd declares Tema Port as transhipment hub in West Africa


The Hapag-Lloyd, a global shipping giant, has declared Meridian Port Services Limited (MPS) Terminal 3 at Tema Port as its transhipment hub in West Africa.

A statement signed by Mr Mohamed Samara, the Chief Executive Officer of MPS, and copied to the Ghana News Agency, said this was revealed at a press conference held in Cape Town, South Africa to announce the launching of the new shipping service for Africa.

The statement said the new shipping service dubbed Middle East-India-Africa Express (MIAX), announced in a press conference in Cape Town, South Africa, had its first departure in this October.

It said the first departure of the MIAX would follow port rotation as follows: “Jebel Ali - Mundra - Nhava Sheva - Colombo - La Réunion - Durban - Cape Town then direct to Tema (as first port of call in West Africa) followed by Lagos (Tincan and Apapa) then back to Cape Town - Durban - Jebel Ali.”

Mr Samara said in the statement that with this port development, Ghana’s Liner Shipping Connectivity would improve significantly.

It said the improvement would result in transport costs reduction, increased trade volume for Ghana importers and exporters through the enhanced connectivity to regional and global markets.

The statement said the MPS Terminal 3 increased Tema Port’s capacity in terms of container storage, reefer facility, handling equipment and the best of the world’s technology to aid its operations as a Transshipment Hub.

It quoted Mr Dheeraj Bhatia, the Senior Managing Director of Hapag-Lloyd’s Middle East Region, as saying that: “With the new MIAX service, our customers will now benefit from an even wider range of fast and flexible direct connections.”

Mrs Sandra Opoku, the Director of the Tema Port, said the announcement was welcome news and that it was long overdue considering the developments being undertaken by the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) with its partners.

She said the GPHA is strengthening its position as a hub port through the development of the other cargo flows within Terminal One and Two (General Cargo, Break Bulk and liquid) to complement the growth in its container traffic.

Mrs Opoku said the development would solidify the Tema Port’s spot in the maritime industry adding that “GPHA will continue to call for investment into port infrastructure to match changing world trends and draw more global trade to Africa”.

Mr Peter Mac Manu, the Board Chairman of the GHPA, said that the decision by Hapag- Lloyd to concentrate its West African shipping service in Tema is an evidence of how much the Tema Port played a key role in the new phase of Africa’s economic transformation.

Jesse25:
Nice one sir .....they don't need Nigerian yet they are crying like a baby just because of a border close

something is wrong with you

It is totally wrong for any country in West Africa to impede trade.
Ghana careless how long the Nigerian border is closed for.

But Ghana will not watch Nigeria carry out with it unfair trade practices against its neighbouring countries.

Carmit:
OK let this put to rest the argument that other Africans are more educated than Nigerians... Nigeria has a literacy rate of 59% and Nigeria has the highest literacy rate EVER in Africa. This also excludes Nigerians in diaspora... Don't let me start on how educated Nigerians in diaspora are

Ghana at 76%- 21m

what kind of useless argument is this?

you can never compare 59% to 90%

That must be a slip, yes it is BBC, but the application is the same.

Someone in the position of a defendant, do not have to prove anything, which will be the position of BBC, should the Lecturer sue them.

The burden is on the Lecturers to prove with clear and convincing proves, which is higher and tougher to reach compare to preponderance of evidence for civil cases that; they are not and have not engaged in ‘sex for grades’ as alleged by BBC in the documentary. They must also prove the other four elements of a defamation case using the same standard of proof.

All that, BBC need to do; is to enter a few evidences into the record that will poke a little hole or doubt into the case built by the Lecturer’s legal team about his stellar records in this regard. A single testimony by a student corroborating BBC’ account is enough to sow little seed of doubt and the Lecturer case crumbles.

Also, even in Ghana like in every other place; if you are a public figure; it becomes much more difficult to win libel suits, BBC can attempt to label the Lecturer a public figure, since he is a professor at a public University and widely known there.

Plus in a libel suit, among the 4/5 items he must prove, he must show that BBC were negligent (that is without adequate research & due diligence), BBC will introduce their evidence of diligence, research, contacts and efforts put into making sure they got an accurate documentary, not withstanding a few inaccuracies, that if he the Lecturer can prove some. Simply proving that, he did not participate in ‘sex for grade’ is not enough to win a defamation case; he must prove 4 other items.

This is the reason, the success rate on libel/defamation cases is less than 10% and the percentage is much more lower for public figure.

Libel cases are for people who maliciously want to harm you by disseminating falsehood against you. If someone put diligent efforts into making sure they get the truth and they end up not getting all their facts straight, it will be difficult to win a defamation suit against them.

the lecturers are going to file a defamation suit


It will be left with BBC to show actual proves to defend their hard-worked documentary
So the burden is going to be on BBC and BBC will decide to rely on student complaints, which doesn't cut it

linearity:
Like I indicated on a previous post, these Lecturers were not pick on randomly at of the blue.

If you listen to the beginning of the documentary, students came out and reported these Lecturers, hence CNN did their investigation but with decoys.

Some of these students, according to CNN reported these incidents, but the school authorities did not do anything, others are afraid to report, because they wouldn’t be believed, others are afraid to report because they are afraid that, there will be repercussions against them within the school as they are still under these Lecturers or friends to these Lecturers...these students have first hand knowledge, not hear-say and CNN did not include them in the documentary to placard their fears.

Now that dynamic changes, if a court case is filed. These students can’t marshal the wherewithal to mount a count case; but would be glad if CNN is at the center, moreso the court will give them the protection against retaliation they currently lack and can even cross petition against the Lecturers and the school during that case for civil penalties.

The school authorities will even advice the lecturer not to go to court, because ‘breeze go blow and fowl yansh go open’; no be person wey first run go police station dey innocent or go win the case final final.

This documentary had been in production for a year and CNN team of lawyers must have ascertain these students’ stories and adjudge them to be credible before green-lighting the documentary aka, they must have examined all their legal exposures and ensure they have solid legal standing before moving ahead.

Again, the lecturer is just blowing hot smoke. He will not go to count and pursue the case to conclusion. Remember that, despite the fact that, he may want to narrow the case to the ‘sex for grade’ allegation, court proceedings involves expansive discovery process and that can unearth many other sexual escapades that may doom his career, marriage and family...so he knows better to let sleeping dogs lay low.

My advice for him, is that he should go file a civil libel case against CNN to save face, allow it to drag on for a while and quietly withdraw it, when the whole world must have moved on to the next sensational News or story on the block...

Trump have green light Turkey to defeat US allies, the Kurds in Syria, maybe as Turkey have started their on-slaughter, that will be the next sensational News item or maybe it will be the current Trump impeachment saga, vi-sa-vi his standoff with the US House of Rep....I can’t wait to see who blinks first and fold in the current fist-fight between Trump & the House in document discoveries, witnesses testimonies and Subpoenas.

you keep mentioning CNN

get your facts right


Sexual harrasment cases are hard to prove
Thats why BBC may find it self in hot waters because they would find it difficult making a case against the Ghanaian lecturers even when the line up 500 withness.

The key word will be prove

linearity:
Rules of evidence are universal and at their generic levels, during civic cases; both sides are deposed aka have to give testimony under oath and both sides can request documents from either side and can present witnesses to buttress their side of the story.

CNN is a global brand and before that documentary aired, they must have passed it through their legal team to vet thoroughly to ensure that, they are on solid legal grounds.

That documentary was in the making for a year, that is the painstaking time for CNN to ensure from their legal team that, they are all clear.

any way
BBC is what we are talking aboult


without any concrete prove that sex was offered and grades were given, it will be hard for BBC to defend their documentary in a court of law.
just like it is very hard to prove any sex offence cases

hear says and your words against mine dont win cases in court

linearity:
The Ghana Professor is just making mouth, if he is a Professor, he will not be dumb enough to sue, he will hide and lay low hoping that, this blow away fast enough.

He will open himself up for deposition, request for documents and testimony under oath and other students in the wide will be flocking in to give their accounts, it will be a circus and a 1000 times worst than it is now for him, his family, children, friends & Associates.
