Can you compare Ghana's economic growth with Nigeria? Nigeria is in recession as we speak Ghaba, before COVID-19 was the fastest growing economy in Africa.

Ghana attracts more FDI than every other country in west Africa,including Nigeria

Ghanaians enjoy regular electricity, which is still a luxury In you4 country

What is life expectancy in Nigeria, compared with Ghana?

How many Nigerians are gainfully employed, compared with Ghanaians ?

What is the poverty level in Ghana, compared with Nigeria?

What is Nigeria’s per capita GDP, compared with Ghana?

Can you sleep with your two eyes closed in Nigeria, where people are being kidnapped upanddown, for a ransom of a bottle of coke and gala?

Do you want me to continue? Fuckeduppedness

15 million Nigerian children are out of school as we speak, the highest in the world Ghana provides free education to its children, as welol as free feeding, free books and uniforms. So while Nigeria is breeding armed robbers, pr0stitutes, boko haram, ritualists fir the future, Ghanabis busy preparing its children for the future

What is the level of corruption in Ghana, compared with Nigeria?

For the past six months, Ghanaians are enjoying free water and electricity, as part of palliatives announced by the Government of Ghana. I understand Buhari has recently introduced his own palliatives, which is to impose increases in petrol and electricity

jasent:
lol..OK in what way?enlighten me pls?

Look, Nigeria is not even fit to polish Ghana’s shoes. So get lost! What has nigeria got? Name two things that make nigeria better than Ghana, LOL and I will give you 40 reasons why Ghana is one million times better than that failed state!

Sonnobax15:
Please exclude your remote Ghana from your aforementioned list......you know your Ghana isn't better off than Nigeria but because of your hatred towards Nigeria won't make you say the truth.....

I pity Nigerians wey dey even dey go Ghana self....Ghana wey no clean pass ajegunle...

Well, I live in Accra, Ghana. I have never had problems with electricity. Yes, occasionally we do have issues, but electricity is very stable in aGhana.

Goke7:
stop this electricity gibberish, I work remotely with folks in Ghana and they complain bitterly about poor electricity that they can't even attend some of our meetings or complete some of their tasks at work

Keep on deceivin* yourself. Ghana is one million times better than the failed state!

jasent:
lol.Are you talking about the Ghana that I know..Dey here dey deceive yourself nan.

Nigeria Must Go!

Vyzz:
PEACE

Most of you nigerians are just mad! Stark mad! Summon who? You dey craze? Nigeria is not really as important as you nigerians think ooh. A lot of foreigners look at you nigerians and your country and simply laugh. Nigeria has become a sick joke around the world. I have more respect for a country like Benin Republic than Nigeria. Summon my president...........you are very foolish

EmptyGarden:
That's belittling. Summon their president to answer questions instead.

Really? Most of your elders were taught by Ghanaian teachers in the 1970s and 1980s. Ghanaians are the best in everything. No kidding

Vyzz:
I like the way u type...


So Ghanaians Don learn how to use paragraphs?

Funny nigerian journalists asking what his “demands” will be. Can you imagine the nonsense! The man is coming to Ghana beg for mercy and you are asking what are your demands?

Most Nigerians still live in the 1960s and 1970s. Most of them have never even traveled in their miserable lives. So they believe it when their lying politicians and officials tell them nigeria is a giant in Africa stupid giant when you see a giant, you will not know?

A country that cannot provide ordinary electricity, where people are kidnapped at random, for a ransom of coke and gala. An oil and gas-rich country that has become the poverty capital of the world. Who will take such a country seriously?

Tell your speaker or whatever to stay at home. Elections are around the corner in Ghana, nobody will listen to him because most Ghanaians support how the Ghanaian government is dealing with the Nigerians. They have asked for it many times and the President cannot afford to lose votes over a decision that does not sit well with the Ghanaian voters. Fuckeduppedness

Paschal2806:
Gbajabiamila To Visit Ghana On ‘Legislative Diplomacy’ Over Maltreatment Of Nigerians

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, says he will embark on a ‘legislative diplomacy’ visit to Ghana on Wednesday, over hostilities against Nigerians living in the West African country.

Gbajabiamila made this known to State House correspondents after a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday.

According to the Speaker, he got the blessing from President Buhari to meet with his Ghanaian counterpart to find a solution to the problem.

“I am leaving for Ghana tomorrow to meet with the Speaker of the Parliament in Ghana to look at the issues on ground as it affects our citizens, to try and calm things down to see if there is a way forward.

“I informed the President; he is aware of every single step that we are taking. We hope that we will come to an amicable settlement one way or the other,” he said.

When asked what his demands were, Gbajabiamila said he was not demanding anything on behalf of the Nigerian government.

The Speaker explained that his mission to Ghana is to “discuss and see how the two countries can resolve whatever the issues are. It is not about making demands, it is diplomacy.”

This comes four days after the Nigerian Government warned that it would no longer tolerate the maltreatment of its citizens in Ghana.

In a statement issued on August 28 by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, the Federal Government is deeply concerned by the incessant harassment and the progressive acts of hostility towards the country by Ghanaian authorities.

To Mohammed, the President Buhari administration is urgently considering a number of options, as part of measures to contain the situation.

He also revealed that the government “has been documenting the acts of hostility towards Nigeria and Nigerians by the Ghanaian authorities.”

But reacting on August 30, Ghana’s Information Minister, Endkojo Oppong Nkrumah, faulted claims made by the Nigerian government.

He however explained that President Nana Akufo-Addo will engage with President Muhammadu Buhari to resolve the matters amicably.

While reiterating the country’s commitment to maintaining what could be described as warm relations between the two countries, Nkrumah said the move is necessary to guard against straining the diplomatic ties.

“Even” Ghana .....una mouths go kill una. yeye people. Nigeria is not even fit to polish Ghana’s shoes. Nonsense!

Nigeria is not as important as you nigerians think ooh.

ggirl4real:
I hope the visit yield positive and lasting results.

Na see finish cause all these.

Even Ghana is maltreating Nigerians.

What will the nigerian president do for nigerians in Ghana if the people of Ghana don’t want them? Tell your boring president to bring planes, trucks and ships to carry his people from Ghana. We are tired of them!

jude79:
The Ghanaians are saying that if he president of Nigeria is alive, he should come himself and save his people. According to them, Nigeria has no president.

Yes, Ghana is 1000 times better than nigeria. Nigeria is a certified shiithole, end of story.

How many hours of electricity do you get in that country every day?

People are kidnapped for a ransom of a bottle of coke and gala, and you are asking if Ghana is really better than nigeria. I don’t think you have ever traveled outside nigeria in your life. If you have, you won’t be asking this absurd question.

Go and check the UN Human Development Index. You will weep for Nigeria kidnappers full everywhere in naija

And what do you mean “fraudulently revalued” it’s currency? What is fraudulent about that? You Nigerians will continue to suffer in Ghana because of ediots like you.

maasoap:
To do what we're doing. Is Ghana really better than Nigeria? Should we begin with how they fraudulently revalued their currency years ago? A country with good economy wouldn't victimise immigrant traders

Hahahahaha typical Igbo man talking trash. Nigerians are the gold mine in Ghana? If indeed Nigerians are the gold mine in a Ghana, why don’t you carry your gold mine to Nigeria? Nigeria today needs all the gold mines to survive. Nigerians are gold mines. Can you imagine that nonsense! You are a gold mine and they say pay $1 million and you are crying? You are a gold mine yet your own country is the poverty capital of the world. Sometimes when you nigerians talk, I wonder if there is any sense inside that thing you call head. Gold mine indeed such a stupid gold mine

This is how nigerians will be throwing their shoulders talking as if they own the world. If you like, remove all nigerian students from Ghana and let’s see if the Ghanaian economy will even feel it.

And since you are a gold mine, why are crying that Ghanaians don’t want you people in their country? Mr. Gold Mine, carry your gold to your country. We don’t need your gold in Ghana. Ghana has one of the highest gold reserves in the world. Fuckeduppedness. This is why you nigerians will continue to suffer in Ghana. Una mouths go kill una. yeye people

ezechi24:
:oJust imagine what you just wrote...have you spoken to all the Nigerians living in Ghana?...OK because a hand full of Nigerians got into an argument with some of your locals over there and they said all sorts of things, now all the Nigerians over there should suffer...did the Nigerian embassy you destroyed all chest beat about helping Ghana's economy?... Truth be told Nigerians are chest beaters especially the Igbo's I know because I'm an Igbo man...but the fact is that Nigerians are actually the gold mine in Ghana and you know it...they have actually hepled your economy and you know it...if we stop going to your schools and petronizing your products oga una go fall yakata.. so stop acting like we are opresding you guys ...what have you done to the Chinese that has been destroying your country for long ....I beg una just dey jump because of the dead man wey dey lead us..if not

At least when you know your home is not good and move to a better place, are you not supposed to be grateful? Are you not supposed to treat your host with respect? Nigerians in Ghana, for some strange reason, think they own Ghana. This is particularly so with the Igbos in Ghana.. They insult and denigrate Ghana and Ghanaians at every opportunity. They boast to high heavens how they “control” the Ghanaian economy. Everybody is lazy, except nigerians. Everybody envies Nigerians. Haba

Check this out. The harshest critics of Ghana and Ghanaians on nairaland are Igbos living in Ghana! Why will you live in another man’s country and all you do is to pour scorn on your host country? Even God hates that. That is why the Bible says pray for the country in which you live.

As an individual, I don’t have any sympathy’s for Nigerians in Ghana. They have abused the Ghanaian hospitality for too long. Now is time for them to pay

LadyExcellency:
Another wicked fellow, just like telling Venezuelans in Mexico or USA to return back home.

I thought nigeria said they want to take the matter to ecowas court?

Why can’t they go to court? it is simple. Nigeria doesn’t have a case to stand on.

They closed their borders and expect other west African countries to allow nigerians to live and trade freely? Go to ecowas court, Ghana will meet you people there. The head of ecowas court is even a Ghanaian

too much nonsense talk from nigerians on this issue. Ghana owes no obligation to Nigeria to treat Nigerians in Ghana differently from the way it treats other foreigners in Ghana. You Nigerians have to drum this into your heads.

Jaelluiz:
They have the right to transact business anywhere on earth as long as they meet the requirement of the host.

The problem is this issue is a diplomatic war between Nigerian and Ghanian governments. You don't close your border to neighboring countries in stiff defiance to ECOWAS and expect your citizens to be exempt outside your borders. Simple!! All other countries in west Africa would do the same if they had leverage to right now.

They paid to which “appropriate” agency? And you believe them? Abegi!

[quote author=obynzo post=93451449]I am sure you didn't see where they stated that they have paid to the appropriate agency yet their shops were closed. Why would hate not allow you reason properly...[/quote”

Nana, well done! You are a true daughter of your father. 7 million Nigerians in a country of 30 million. Even with the border closures, do you know nigerians are bribing to enter Ghana? About a million more nigerians are waiting for the borders to be opened so they can run to Ghana. That is total nonsense. Which country will tolerate that rubbish? And they will be beating their chest that they “control” the Ghanaian economy. Control my azz.

They deported our people many years ago. They went back home and fixed their country. And now nigerians want to enjoy Ghana’s success story. It will never happen! Nigeria Must Go!

Nanatrendy:
OK so all the angry Nigerians give me a good reason why a people of 30million should give unlimited access of their country to a country with 200million population. As at now the populationof Nigerians in Ghana is 7 million give it 10yrs and we may be looking at 20 million, the annoying thing is they don't pay taxes but enjoy social amenities and when they make money they send the money to Nigeria to enrich your economy. You should be happy we are giving you the chance to do wholesale but as greedy as you are, you even want do retailing to the point of even hawking recharge credits. Then they later beat their chest and say in front of you that we will take over Ghana, take over Ghana let's see. That was what led to Ghanaians kicking you out in the 60s, it is said that your numb grew so much so that you could find a Nigerian in every village then they started to form political parties to fight for power it won't happen the 2nd time

I lived briefly in Nigeria before and I know how hostile nigerians are to Ghanaians in particular.

It got to a point I had to tell my children to claim to be Liberians, not Ghanaians. I used to ask myself why is that nigerians don’t hate Cameroon, a country with whom they fought a brief war over Bakassi, the way they hated Ghanaians.

So I experienced the Nigerian hatred for Ghanaians first hand. This is my personal experience.

Ghana is forging ahead. The economy is growing rapaciously and we are seeing national development. You Nigerians should fix your country and stop this stupid transferred aggression. Ghanaians were deported en masse from Nigeria. They went and fixed their country. Today, Ghana attract more FID than any country in west Africa. Nigeria too can do it, if they become more disciplined.

ezechi24:
What nonsense are you saying...what about the Ghanaians that are doing their jobs peacefully in Nigeria...some are even acquiring landed properties... No wahala sha make Ghana enjoy ..na three years remain for the dead man to leave that seat.

Sharaaap ediot! At least Ghana is not a shiithole. Ghana is not the poverty capital of the world people are not kidnapped in Ghana for a ransom of a bottle of coke and gala. At least Ghanaians enjoy regular electricity.

Nigeria is wallowing in recession and you are here spewing nonsense! Receive sense, ediot!

candidtalk:
What business do you Ghanaians know to do other than sell Alomo bitter and used underwear from Europe. Don't let me e-slap you through my keyboard.

There is far more business innovation and creative trading initiatives going on in Sambisa Forest than the whole of Ghana so shut your mouth and know your place.

Oh please! Thousands of Ghanaians trooping to Nigerua, for what? To enjoy poverty in that shiithole? Or to get kidnapped? A country that can’t provide ordinary electricity to its citizens is damn fvcking useless

Don’t tell me about life in Nigeria. It is nothing to write home about. Nigeria is a scam

WILLuKPquiet:
Thousands of my country men trooping to Ghana everyday. And I wonder if you know that thousands of your men are trooping here too. Nigeria is too big and civilized for anyone to bother himself about it.
Your country becoming nice is over hyped. Nothing special there.

Stop saying what you don’t know,huh? Ghana today attracts more FIDs than nigeria, despite it being a smaller economy. Why do you think investors will go to Ghana, instead of Nigeria?

Nigerians are very good at frustrating foreign investors. These days, you Nigeria’s are hell bent on frustrating businesses from South Africa. MTN, multichioce etc are always under attack in Nigeria. I guess that is your own way of encouraging foreign investment,huh?

Thankfully, there is very little investment by Ghanaians in Nigeria. We see the way you nigerians harass South African businesses in Nigeria.

talktrue1234:
Since you don't understand it, this is what your government is presently doing, they are showing the whole world that they are very insecure country who can't handle business competition diplomatically, they are showing they they can resort to frustrating investors at any point in time and they don't know how to separate business from politics.

Nigerian government doesn't need to do too much, just use the media to tell your good deeds all over the world how you are intentionally frustrating businesses because they are foreign owned, and watch investors skeptical about your country

Ghanaians never had problems with Nigerians. The Yorubas in particular are very good guests. They respect the laws of their host country. The Yorubas and even some from northern Nigeria have been living in Ghana for more than 100 years.

The real problem is with the Igbos. Let me tell you nigerians the truth.

Igbos want to drag everything with their host country. They want all the rights accorded to Ghanaians. On top of that, they don’t even show respect to the authorities in Ghana. You expect Ghanaians to tolerate that kind of rubbish? Hell no.There are Igbos living in Ghana who are always insulting and criticizing Ghana and Ghanaians. And I wonder, why will any sane person live a country he or she doesn’t like? It doesn’t make sense. Ghanaians know all these things and that is fuellling the resentment against nigerians in Ghana.

Hahahahaha nothing works in Ghana, and everything works in Nigeria? Is that a joke or something? Nothing works in Ghana yet thousands of your countrymen and women are coming to Ghana every day? You must be a comedian

WILLuKPquiet:
I have a junior brother who relocated from Ghana since four years ago. Nothing works there. Their woes surpass Naija own.

Where our people hear the tale of Ghana being better than Naija is what I don't know.

Imagine nigeria. You think nigeria is a better country than Ghana?

Oizee:
Imagine ghana

Give warning to the Ghana government? You Dey craze? Who is the Nigetian government to give warning to the Government of Ghana? This is absolutely crap! I don’t know how you nigerians think of yourselves. The way you nigerians look at yourselves is not the way the rest of the world sees Nigeria.

Tell your citizens to go back home. They have overstayed their welcome in Ghana.

kazeem74:
The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT should come to their aid bc mtn and ShopRite did not leave Nigeria upo the treat yet they are waxing stronger
We should give warning to Ghana government to acccmodate our citizem

Retaliate? For what? It is not by force fir Nigerians to stay in ZGhana now. Nigeria can also deport Ghanaians if they want. You can’t force another country to accept your citizens. Or can you? Tell your people to return to Nigeria if they cannot stay in a Ghana. It is not by force to stay in Ghana.

jrusky:
Bro its not about the money the hatred has be there for a very very long time. They are bitter people naturally and so dead in rife and jealousy that is Ghana in real life even to their fellow Ghanaian. Its their way.

Its left to Nigeria govt to retaliate simple as that. We can not all the time be playing good brother its not by force to play brothers infact to play enemy in so many time is the best, don't cross me I will not cross you everybody bear his fathers name I swear respect will come naturally.
