Ghana has lectured Nigeria on electricity connection finnally.

Ghana Trains Nigerian Technicians in Power Transmission
Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo), has started a 5-day training workshop for technical staff of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), as part of GRIDCo’s growing partnership with power utilities within the sub-region.
GRIDCo over the years, has had interconnections for the exchange of power between Ivory Coast, and Togo and Benin before the West African Power Pool (WAPP) started operation.
Opening the training programme, Mr. Mark Baah, Director of System Operations welcomed the trainees and urged them to take the entire workshop seriously since the main objective is to improve on the efficiency of power delivery both locally and internationally. He added that, electricity accessibility in Ghana currently, stands at 86%.
Mr. Baah said, it is necessary for both countries to design a format to continue with the training arrangement for progress for efficiency in power supply within the sub-region.
Narrating how Ghana’s grid system has grown, Mr. Baah said Ghana’s installed power capacity has doubled, with about 6,000 circuit kilometers of transmission lines
He revealed that, the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) which started as an analog system but has been transformed into digital.
He reiterated the need for power utilities to do diligent procurement of their SCADA to avoid frequent system breakdowns with resultant high financial cost in repairs.
The Director, Human Resource and Services, Wing Cdr. Samuel Allotey, run the trainees through the training structure with the ultimate goal for them to be familiar with activities in GRIDCo’s SCADA and Telecommunication Systems.
He indicated that, GRIDCo is adopting three basic training methodologies. These are: Instructional, Interactive and Fieldwork, adding that SCADA is very technical and trainees need hands-on exposure to be able to manage their SCADA and Telecommunication Systems

Yvonne Nelson has thrown a jab at the Ghanaian government over the economic hardship being experienced in the country.

The Ghanaian actress alleged that Ghana is still colonized even with the 'big English, long convoy and fly suits'.

Yvonne Nelson further revealed that she wakes up every morning thinking of why the country is not moving forward.

And who told you that the goods being exported to nigeria from ghana were not made in ghana? try and be honest. nigeria signed ecowas trade liberalisation agreements and even africa trade agreement and then turned around to break those same laws. nigerian just signed the africa trade agreement and then few weeks later turned around to close its borders. what kind of nonsense is that? why not close you borders, seaports and airports entirely?

by the way, is nigeria not importing rice? has nigerian banned rice imports? are you saying rice is not being smuggled into your country through the seaports and airports?

now that they have closed the borders, tell me one policy the governmnet has introduced to stop imports. it is obvious this whole nonsense is targetted at west african neighbours. but nigeria will pay a big price for this insolence. i know what I am talking.about. nigeria is not an island, and nigeria today is very very vulnerable.

Iriruaga100:
You have not said anything new. Will importation grow local industries? You lot are helping to grow rice and other agricultural industries in Thailand, Taiwan and others.. Why don't your govt revamp local rice production. If you're talking about Ghana beyond aid, then you need to grow local industries that will pay tax to your govt. Treaties within the subregion is there to encourage trade amongst local producers not foreign goods..

so why don't you just close all your land borders, seaports and airports. nothing comes in, nothing goes out. just like north korea. that will be great for nigeria,huh? and you don't need to sign international treaties that requires you to open your borders to international trade. by the way, has nigeria stopped importation?

Iriruaga100:
Article written by frank of IMAN is without clear direction. How do you grow your economy through importation? Nigeria has vast arable land for cultivation of rice and other agricultural produce. Same for other west African countries. Why do you have to import what you can produced locally? How do you grow local industries? This is the big question... Ghana and other should give us answers.

I don’t get it. Do they manufacture anything in Nigeria? With which power? Your generator powered economy is struggling to survive another recession and you are here talking crass crap some of you nigerians are just too foolish. You reason like little children just because a few Ghanaian businesses want to export their items to Nigeria has suddenly made Nigeria a powerhouse I guess that means Ghana is a hyper super house, for all the nigerian businesses that are in Ghana?

Stop talking like a fool

Rosskiki:
Ghanaians finally admit Nigeria is the Powerhouse.

''Traders in markets along Nigeria’s western borders are weighing their options amid a four-month border closure by the West African powerhouse.

They say the prolonged closure has taken a toll on commercial activity as stocks deplete.

Since they cannot bring goods across the border from Nigeria, the traders say they may fall on the Gulf trading hub, Dubai to restock....''

So after Nigeria shutdown their nearest available source na Dubai?

Kai. And we dey here dey insult our country.

where in this entire report did the Ghana president say, "nigeria talk to us" fuckedupped. very soon una eyes go clear

Rosskiki:
Border closure: There’s room for talks, says Ghanaian president

Ghanaian president, Nana Akufo-Addo on Tuesday said he was still hopeful that talks between his country and Nigeria over the closure of the Nigerian land borders would yield a positive result.

Akufo-Addo said this while addressing the delegation of a commercial bank from Nigeria.

He said, “There’s a lot of room for continuing talks between Nigeria and Ghana in order for a breakthrough to be reached,” reports MyJoyonline.

In a separate report, Akufo-Addo was said to have lamented how the border closure would affect regional integration.


Daily Trust reports him as saying, “We are about to enter a delicate period in the ECOWAS journey looking ahead of the possibility of a single currency and trying to forge greater integration among our economies and at the same time have important security and other issues which confront us.

[b]“We have this business of the closure of the Benin border, which seems to some people to be a big blow to the ECOWAS project.”

Nigeria had closed her land borders in August and it had affected the activities of businessmen in Nigeria and Ghana. Ghanaian traders had asked their government to retaliate, however, Ghanaian government officials have been interfacing with their Nigerian counterparts to resolve the issue.

Meanwhile, Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria on Tuesday said that Nigeria would only open its borders if her neighbours would agree to stop the smuggling of banned goods.

Have you seen Ghanaians on the social media talking trash since Buhari closed borders? You cannot see them. They don't have money to buy data. Even their President has no data. Useless burnt offerings that should be sacrifice to the god of thunder.

These idiots don't know Buhari, he has no heart. He acts with his brain. Once his brain says it is right, he does not listen to his heart. He does the right thing and damn the consequences.

Alas! Nigeria imports sawdust
Published August 28, 2019
KINDLY SHARE THIS STORY


According to Trading Economics, imports to Nigeria surged 48% year-on-year to N943.6bn in December 2018, mainly driven by purchases of manufactured goods that took the chunk of 88.3% and raw materials, a meagre 12.5%. The implication of the minute 12.5% in raw materials import is that Nigeria is extremely poor in value addition, meaning that as a nation, we are lacking in simple and complex industries that helped in the transformation of other economies. An example is the huge importation of our cocoa beans by the USA and the UK; no matter how the huge import bills may be, those countries are the richer for it because what they have imported is for value addition.

This scenario of unbridled import of finished products was aptly captured by the many super stores daily springing up in urban centres in Nigeria. A walk through these stores will make the patriotic citizen heave a forlorn sigh and wonder if the nation will ever be free from the imports of the biggest technologies like airplanes and ships to the import of minute technologies like matches and toothpicks. I was in such a mood when in a store in remote Akure, I saw imported sawdust on the shelf. I felt shocked to the marrows and dragged my colleague who was shopping with me to come and see what I saw. Sawdust! He exclaimed. I went back the following day to buy a pack for N1,299. It was to show to unbelieving Nigerians and lift it up to God to plead, “Save your people O! Lord.” That is if God in His benevolence interferes in such pedestrian matters. It is bad enough that Nigeria imports common banana and other exotic fruits into the country, but sawdust?

What was the selling point of this imported sawdust from France? The details on the pack claimed that the sawdust was made from old wine barrels and as such when it is used to roast meats, the aroma of the wine that the barrels had soaked over the years of using it for storage will flavour the meat. In simple terms what the French had done for us was a very simple “waste to wealth”; old wine barrels that would have been stacked somewhere until they decompose or taken to French rural areas to be used for winter fire were carefully converted into sawdust, neatly packaged and shipped to Nigeria and maybe other countries that have the “taste” for “luxury” and “class”.

READ ALSO: Nigeria, a laughing stock in oil business — Petroleum minister
Sawdust seems to be a recurring encounter for me. Some years back, as an employee of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce & Industry, we hosted a business delegation from South Africa. One of them had told me, “Akin I saw on the long Bridge, how your country is burning money.” I had wondered if they came through the Niger Delta and my answer was “O! our gas flaring”, not knowing that he was talking about what he saw in Oko Baba, that strip on the Lagoon around Ebute-Ero when one is going to the Island through the Third Mainland Bridge where the bulk of saw-milling in Lagos takes place. What he saw was sawdust being burnt into ashes as a way of disposing the easily accumulated dust. He had told me that all we needed was a machine that could convert the sawdust into briquettes, and we have in our hands simple export commodities. The big question till today is, where is the technology and where are the entrepreneurs to make it happen? We all probably want to export crude oil. Where is the government’s will to boost Nigeria’s export at all costs? Those that have the money to import briquette-making machines would rather import state of the art fuel dispensing machines, build mega petrol filling stations to log into the dying but still lucrative petro-chemical industry in Nigeria. No wonder the landscape is filled up with fuel filling stations, where some, out of extreme poverty come to dispense N100 gasoline just to power their “I better pass my neighbour” generator to charge their phones and have a one-hour feel of civilisation.

Area4Area:
I thought that the news about Buhari giving you a January 31st deadline should've cooled you down, we've told you already to shut your borders to Nigerian goods, close down our shops with your GUTTER.
Start the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians and we'd teach you guys more lesson.
Hope your beggarly ministers are off to Accra to return in January to start another round of begging.

[/s]

noisy nigerians I guess the Ghanaian government should be considering nationalizing all nigerian interests in Ghana. take over their struggling banks and inept glo shit that is when they will learn sense. they dont want ghanaian exports, we too we dont want nigerian companies in GHANA. Nothing spoil na . nigerians companies are making profits to feed people back in nigeria and yet these ingrates are talking crass trash.

the south africa treatment is what these mudder fuggerz need in Ghana

it is worse than that, trust me

owbabs:
Nigeria is a joke

how much exports from Ghana to nigeria are we talking about? is it the $100 million exports from Ghana to nigeria that "will reduce Ghana's economic growth?" I don't get it. $100 million in Ghana's exports represents about 0.0001 percent of Ghana's exports. Is that the one that "will reduce Ghana's economic growth?" very funny, walahi

grandstar:
As much as I condemn the despicable and counterproductive border close, the action will have a disproportionate effect on Ghana.

Nigeria takes in lots of non traditional exports from Ghana as one of your ministers have said. Many of these products are manufactured goods. Manufacturing is a Labour intensive sector. It may also discourage manufacturers from setting up plants in Ghana.

Ghana vibrant economy would be affected. It will definitely reduce your economic growth rate this year, but not at a devastating level

You reason like an agbero there is absolutely no logic, no sense in your postulations, walahi. What is the price of rice in your country? Stock fish nko?

You sure say una go see food chop this Christmas so? Fuckeduppedness prices are going though the roof in shi1tland and this rat is here talking trash

GUTA will begin closing down nigerian shops in Ghana tomorrow. If I see any delegation coming to Accra to beg,huh? Na cutlass I go take pursue them comot

Area4Area:
https://punchng.com/breaking-buhari-approves-extension-of-border-closure-to-january-31/

We are seriously serious with you guys this time so tell your beggarly ministers in Abuja to leave till January next year

Fuckeduppedness who gives a fvck about mudder fuggerz prices of rice, stock fish etc etc are rising through the roof in your country and you are here talking trash by the time your generator powered economy enters recession, then your eyes go clear

Area4Area:
https://punchng.com/breaking-buhari-approves-extension-of-border-closure-to-january-31/

To tell you we mean business.

OK, you want Nigerians to beg you not to, why not shut all your borders from goods coming from Nigeria?

Fuckeduppedness Do you know if they are already working on stopping nigerian goods from entering Ghana?

Nigerian goods and people but when will your MUMU govt ban your country people from traveling and causing a nuisance around the world?

Why can’t nigerians stay in their country, the paradise they have created for themselves? Why has nigeria become too hot for nigerians to stay there? They are just too many in Ghana. Everywhere you turn in Ghana, there are nigerians. Why why why?

Area4Area:
Then tell your government to do the needful and stop Nigerian goods free entering Ghana, stop the wailing and start blaming your government

You don’t get it,huh? We are not blackmailing anybody. We are simply protecting the interests of Ghanaians and our economy. It’s not a new law. Fuckeduppedness

Okay ooo they will start closing the shops from tomorrow

Area4Area:
We don't care, you can't blackmail and arm twist Nigeria into doing what you want because of shops, shut them all down.
Has Buhari said anything or sent anyone this time?

Don’t worry! Hope you won’t be one one those whining when they start closing those shops. Fuckeduppedness

Buhari sent delegations to beg and cry in Accra the last time. keep your criminal animals in that zoo

Area4Area:
.....who is begging your GUTTER not to close down those shops? The Nigerian government hadn't said anything about it till date since after the border closure.
So threaten us with some shops

Small rat Fuckeduppedness Look at a full grown man acting like a fool welcome to Nigeria, the poverty capital of the world Nigeria is imploding thanks to stvpidity and poverty someone even drank gutter water to celebrate Buhari’s win Nigeria and poverty are like 5 n 6 weep for your stvpid country

GUTA is closing nigerian shops in Ghana. Who will come and beg for them this time? Fuckeduppedness

nototribalist:
we've closed our borders, small rat like Ghana are suddenly feeling the hit. Crying more than Benin republic.

It makes us so happy, watching Ghana weep like little chicken they are.


You people can now see we are the real Giant of Africa. Keep crying on Joy news

Sharaaaaap mudder fuggerz. What to you know? Listen to people who hav3 more sense. Such a fuelish magg0t

nototribalist:
shut up, Benin republic makes more money than you bastards

Of all the countries in the world, you saw only Ghana and Egypt. Hmmmm

nonoski:
So Ghana and Egypt has more debt than Nigeria

Of all the countries in the world, you saw only ghana and Egypt. Hmmmm

nonoski:
So Ghana and Egypt has more debt than Nigeria

Give me one example of how Ghana’s economy is in trouble. Just one by the way, how many hours of electricity do you get in that sh1thole? what is life expectancy and the kidnappers! heard kidnappers have taken over Kaduna Abuja expressway oh naija

tayebest:
Ghana economy is in trouble, deal with that! D

How is Ghana feeling the heat? I live in Ghana. Hahahaha until I came to nairaland, zi dintI didn’t even know the mudder fuggerz had closed their border. By the way, what is tha rate of growth of your generator powered economy?

tayebest:
Your economy is really feeling the heat that's why your president and ministers will always come begging and licking Nigeria ass.

Stop been bitter, we are not opening any border soon! Una go hear an this time

Stop talking like a fool,huh? Ghana is not a beggarly country. Ghana is 100 better than your sh1thole. Ghana has a better life expectancy, regular electricity , good roads, people in Ghana sleep with their eyes close unlike your sh1thole. Ghanaian children not only enjoy free education, but are also fed by the state. 10 million nigerian children don’t go to school. I hope you know that. Fuckeduppedness

Area4Area:
That's what we're doing and these crying and beggarly countries especially Ghana won't allow us sort ourselves in peace

Of course your president doesn’t care, even about his own people, your president doesn’t give a fvck about you he spends all his time tendering cows, watching cartoons on tv and picking his teeth.

Just30:


my president does not even care if your border remains close for a century

he will only make sure Ghanaian traders are not unfairly treated in the name of ecowas

Bros, don’t worry,huh? when the sh1t hits the fan, that is when you will know.

GUTA will close down nigerian shops and there is nothing anyone can do about it don’t come here crying when it happens oooh roforoforofo your ministers were here some months ago to cry and beg for those shops to be opened. Fuckeduppedness ordinary shops

Meanwhile, Ghana’s economy is growing rapaciously at 8.8% annually. Heard the generator-powered nigerian economy is struggling to avoid a recession recession straight Fuckeduppedness

Area4Area:
Close those shops, stop your police from reopening them and tell your ministers from cautioning your GUTA or GUTTER.
You closed down the shops and the Nigerian economy wasn't dented but just an ordinary border closure and your economy is taking a beating.
That's why your ministers have made Abuja your adopted nation's capital now.

I disagree entirely. The numbers don’t support your argument. First, what how does Ghana export to Nigeria, and Vice versa. Forget about what officials say. Shine your eyes. God has given you brain to think fir yourself. Ghana does not export more than $100 million worth of goods to Nigeria annually. Nigeria exports probably goods worth about$150 million to Ghana annually. Is that what will collapse the Ghanaian or Nigerian economy? Hell no

Secondly, Ghana’s main exports are cocoa, gold, oil and gas etc. None of these items go to Nigeria. So tell me, how can anyone tell me that trade with Nigeria is what sustains the Ghanaian economy? This is simply ridiculous! Ghana attracted more foreign direct investment in west Africa than any other west African country, including Nigeria. The problem with you Nigerians is that you like to make yourself more important than you are. That is the truth. Nigerians think the sun shines from their anus, yet your country is in a terrible mess. Fuckeduppedness

ajl:
Mr, you are likely not Nigerian. I watched an online program with a Ghanaian minister. Going by all he said if Nigeria decides to close its border for a longer period, the economy of many Ecowas members will collapse. Do you folks think in terms of numbers. A 200 million market surrounded by countries with population of 8 to 30 million. This is not about chest beating or anything of sort. The entire Ecowas market is sustained by Nigeria. Other Ecowas countries are lucky that Nigeria have always been "blessed" with dumb leaders.
