No matter how big Ghana is, only 2 or 3 state in Nigeria is the size of Ghana. Which is Niger state, Borno state and Kano state? So ghana should be more developed than Nigeria, because she has the resources too?

completely false

Kazikazi:
Thanks for explanations. So what are you exporting to SA?

AskiaHarem:
Why doesn't Ghana establish it's own vehicle franchises and actually try to support them instead of begging for foreign assembly plant handouts.

Ghana is already supporting what it have and will make sure it brings global companies to base in Ghana.

stop seeking my attention

Good night children

keep fighting over nothing

PetroDollax:
To be honest, I want to see more house cleaning in Ghana. Let all Ecowas citizens without the required residence documents be booted out. But yes, I must admit South Africa is facing a far more serious crisis.

Ghana needs a drastic one
there are too many Nigerians and Togolese

Atleast the Togolese work and dont go creating problems

PetroDollax:
You are absolutely correct. Already, there are too many Nigerians in South Africa? I was shocked when I was in Joburg and Cape Town last November to see foreigners from neighboring countries and Nigeria everywhere. When I hear of xenophobic attacks in South Africa, I can understand.

Why can’t the South African immigration flush illegal immigrants out?



[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]

South Africa needs to do house cleaning just like Ghana is doing at the moment

abbeg:
Lagos is a city and Ghana is a country dipshit.I'm not surprised you couldn't reason something as basic as that.
And would you quit cracking your lame coke and gala joke? It makes zero sense.
Wait...
Isn't gala Nigerian? How come you know it down to its price?

SHUT UP AND DEAL WITH THIS



Illiterate Nigerians Selling Their Young Daughters Over Facebook

Debt-laden parents in the south Nigerian region of Obanliku have been selling their daughters to older men since long before the internet even existed. Now, with the help of their tech-savvy sons, often-illiterate tribesmen have been listing their young daughters on Facebook to be sold into de facto slavery in what is known as "money marriage."



As the Daily Beast's Philip Obaji Jr. reports, girls as young as 10 years old (and by other accounts, age five) in the 17-village-strong Becheve community are often referred to as "money wives," or "money women," and are sold in exchange for food, livestock, cash, or to settle debts.

Like hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of girls from the Becheve clan who are victims of money marriages, Monica and her sister were sold without their consent. Their father wanted to clear the debt he owed to a distant relative. The two sisters got married a month apart to men whom they did not know at all and who were old enough to be their grandfathers.

Their respective husbands got in touch with their father after seeing the Facebook page where he posted photos of his six daughters to draw the attention of his tribesmen. The men of the clan have found the new technology helps to extend and expand their old, exploitative traditions. -Daily Beast

"My father knew nothing about Facebook until my elder brother bought him a smartphone and convinced him to join Facebook and post our photographs whenever he likes," said 16-year-old Monica, one of two sisters who were sold to men over the social media platform. "He'll buy new clothes and force me and my sisters to put them on before taking photographs of us."


"It is young people who convince old men to look for wives on Facebook," said Monica - a former child bride who ran away from her husband to live with friends less than a year after getting married. "The man I married said his oldest son showed him my photo on Facebook and directed him to my father."

It's not just Nigeria either - last November, Facebook took heat for posts discussing the sale of a 16-year-old South Sudanese girl who was sold for 530 cows, three Land Cruiser V8 cars and $10,000 - after a bidding war broke out between five men, including senior officials in the South Sudanese government.

Facebook said it took down the post as soon it learned of of it on Nov. 9, but that wasn't until after the victim, Nyalong Ngong Deng Jalang, had been married off as the 10th wife of Kok Alat, a wealthy businessman from the country’s capital city of Juba, on Nov. 3. The post seeking bids for the teenager reportedly was published on Oct. 25.

After publication of the winning bid, Jalang achieved a certain notoriety in local media as “the most expensive woman in South Sudan.” -Daily Beast

The money wives of Bechive are typically not allowed to go to school, and can be traded and sold between husbands. If a money wife's husband dies, she belongs to his next-of-kin. And if a money wife dies without bearing a child, her parents have the right to bring another girl in the family to replace her. In all scenarios, they aren't allowed to run back to their parents.



"The practice is meant to boost the status of the men in Becheve community," said local Ogbakoko chief Magnus Ejikang, who added "The more brides you have, the more respect you gain in the community."

Marital abuse and exploitation

"Once he married me, he turned me into his slave and punching bag," said Monica, one of the two daughters sold over Facebook for 20,000 Nigerian naira (approximately $50), along with a pig, two goats and some yams. "He said he paid so much to marry me and so I had to labor hard by working for hours everyday in the farm to prove that I'm a grateful wife."

Monica and her sister, who is still married to her 65-year-old husband, aren't the only girls to have ended up in forced marriage after their photos appeared on Facebook. Regina, another teenager from the Becheve tribe, was sold in January by her parents to a man already married with two wives and 11 children. Her husband found her photo on the Facebook page of her uncle, who is notorious for putting photographs of his female relatives on the social media site to draw the attention of men from Becheve seeking child brides. She was then forced into marriage after her uncle pressured her parents, to the dismay of her older brother. -Daily Beast

"Our greedy uncle, in his usual way of manipulating his brothers into selling their daughters, convinced my parents [to give out their daughter in marriage] because he wanted a share of the bride price money," said John Ashua, whose 15-year-old sister Regina is now part of a plural marriage. "He earns a living by looking for husbands for the girls in the family even when they are not ready to get married."

Regina, meanwhile, has dropped out of school to do chores at home, including looking after her husband's livestock. She is frequently beaten.

"He beat me last night because I said I was tired and couldn't have sex with him," said the now-pregnant Regina, who added "Whenever he returns home at night, he demands sex."

Facebook is hugely popular in Nigeria with about a fifth of the country's 98 million internet users connected to the site. But in rural areas like the Becheve community, where literacy levels are not so high among the elderly, the social media platform is mostly common among young people, who are the greatest owners of smart phones. Activists say youths in the clan are actually the brain behind men searching for money wives on Facebook. -Daily Beast

"The majority of Becheve men knew nothing about Facebook until their sons and other young relatives began to show them photos of young Becheve girls on the platform," according to Nigerian women's rights researcher Queen Eteng, who works for Our Women Network. "Most fathers don't run the Facebook pages opened in their names. Rather it is younger family members who create the pages and post the photos."

RTSC:
We arrest the erring Ghanaians and jail them.

We don't resort to grandiose tales and xenophobia.

That is for small minded countries.

If your government persists on attention seeking, the Nigerian government has instruments to retaliate in means that Ghana would regret.

explain xenophobia
?


deporting your miscreant is xenophobia right ?

NaijaRoyalty:
See ordinary Ghana too dey issue threat

Chei

Naija my country

abbeg:
Coke costs 60N in Nigeria.Go and ponder over that.Nigeria produces 7000mw while Ghana produces 3655.As of 2019.The figures were more uneven back then.You can't expect what will impact 30m people to do the same for 200m.Lagos alone guzzles 1200mw.

okay
i wont respond to you

obviously, you don't understand what you're talking about
you cant even see the facts facing you.

gudnyt kids

vaxx2:
Do you know dangote cement has also monopolized Nigeria market?

fortunate for Ghana, we have more players to liberalised the market
Ghacem

vaxx2:
Good, i am sure both country are contributing equally. Burkina is a landlocked area, The train project is impressive. There is a train line connecting yamazukoro to burkina. I was told the tran line begin in Abidjan.

yes there is and it does begin in Abidjan
just that it wasnt built to carry the can of cargo that this line will be carrying

vaxx2:
i hope this Burkina - ghana train will not be a paper or white elephant work

its going to cost 1.5 billion or so dollars with 5 to 8 stations .

vaxx2:
That is brilliant, that will cost less and even improve the infrastructure very fast.

yes it willl

vaxx2:
when will the train line begin

funding has been secured
so, work should begin soon
even though people are advocating for a water transport rather than train because it makes more economic sense.

vaxx2:
some of them are not even aware. Since ecowas only profit Nigeria market.

the Trade between Ghana and Ivory coast is so healthy as well as Burkina Faso

AskiaHarem:
Yes, there equivalent to that of 2 Nigerian states.

Nigeria produces nothing

vaxx2:
stop quoting me for stupidity. Have you seen industrial base of cote devoire or that of Ghana.?

he will be surprised at the industrial base of Ivory Coast


im currently bathing with soaps from Ivory Coast

AskiaHarem:
Nigeria does not ban the "goods" of other West African Nations.

what does your import Ban list do ?

AskiaHarem:
Stop trying to project yourselves onto us the most independent and Greatest Black Nation on Earth. Now go back to begging The IMF and Nigerian Millionaires.

you need to remind me what you are great at again cus i can't seem to find any.



sorry but we dont care about your existence
we look around and find bunch of failed countries around us.

AskiaHarem:
How is Nigeria benefiting from dumping money, lives, and resources into keeping the heads of you ants afloat in the pond.

you are benefitting from the free movement of your goods around whiles baning the goods from others ECOWAS countries

vaxx2:
inread on ghanaweb where an NDC footsolder is advocating that Ghana must recognised the stateless refugee in the country and they should be integrated inn to the country .

What is your take on it?

it is absolutely wrong
the Africanism foreign policy is useless and must be abandon.
that foreign policy got Ghana broke in the past, this time run
it will make Ghana socially bankrupt and turn Ghana into everything wrong happening in Sweden

vaxx2:
if you have been following the west Africa news lately, you will realised Ghana needs to tighten its security belt. Amd and there is tendency Ghana maybsoon experience another iinflux of refugee from northern burkina and mali soon. And this will be taken under the name kf ecowas.

Ghana really have to stop accepting refugees
it is disrupting the social dynamics of the country.

its time , countries like Nigeria take one for ECOWAS after all
they are the ones benefitting from it.

AskiaHarem:
Nah this all you guys going to be good at...

i dont have your time
putting stupid pics on my laptop

i can't believe ya worship whites like that
highly shameful.

vaxx2:
i welcome this development , infact i am an advocate. Ecowas is seless economically. unless the giant of africa is willing to accept the same economical policy she is enjoying within the ecowas sub region .

Well, during the non allign movements before Nigeria become a signatory, Ghana was rolling wirh india and the rest.

GHANA can channelled her energy somewhere else till Nigeria is ready to take part in the fair game.

Ghana has a better Economic future with the likes of Iran, India, Morocco, Gambia and Egypt
its time Ghana focused more on getting that union back in shape.

AskiaHarem:
We Nigerians are discussing Pro-Black things don't bring your Oyibo masters into this please. Stop trying to flex there "potential" achievements and worry about your shithole.

continue worshipping the Europeans and Asians whiles they control your economy and politics .




the rest of Africa doesnt do that

[quote author=AskiaHarem post=77215064][/quote]i cant believe you are celebrating a GDP per capital in PPP of 7000 dollars by 2060 when much of Africa will have better than that by that time of year in Real terms.

dumb ass

AskiaHarem:
Where they following Ghana too? The IMF handouts line?

Economic salvation
constant electricity
single market
custom union
real cross-boundary movement that does not share criminals

[quote author=AskiaHarem post=77215064][/quote]still a failure
countries like Morocco will have better figures than that in the same 30 years

i dont know what you are celebrating
