I have family in Ghana. Things are very very expensive in Ghana. They are generally poor in Ghana but they have social amenities like electricity, water, security etc.

Well, it's like 1 cedis = 65 naira. But don't forget that the 1 cedis is 10,000 cedis in reality. The Ghanaians only redenominated their currency in 2007 by removing 4 zeros.
Please can you explain more sir? The implications and if the currency is stronger than Nigeria

But they are not having boko haram and herdsmen issue.

Still fair better
They also have agitators for a country called 'West Togoland' if I am correct about the name. They are violent too.

The problem with Nigeria is that we are too quick to advertise our problems.

With Unity and reduced corruption, Nigeria will truly be great!

Have you been to Norway before? Norway has a population of five million. They have trillions of dollars saved from oil. Norway is the world’s leading supplier of stock fish. I know nigerians like stock fish a lot cool

Norway is a very rich country, by UN standards, yet the cost of living in Norway is one of the highest in the world. Everything is expensive in Norway. Most people visiting hardly buy anything in Norway, yet Norway is a very rich country.

I am glad you said Ghana should be Saudi Arabia of Africa. These things take time. In the 1980s Ghana was nearly bankrupt. Nigerians were mocking Ghanaians. They said Ghana was a poor country.

Today, Nigerians are beginning to see that Ghana is not a poor country as they thought. Ghana produces crude but our petrol prices are one of the highest because there are no subsidies and there are taxes in top of every litter of fuel you buy in Ghana. Petrol is sold in Ghana more than twice the price in Nigeria. The VAT in Gh@na is far more than in Nigeria. Even our port charges, water, electricity charges are higher than that of Nigeria. But look at the tax to GDP ratio. Ghana is far ahead of Nigeria.

What is the point in Nigerua spending all its money to subsidize petrol, which ends up being smuggled to neighboring countries? So running a market-based economy, where demand and supply dictate prices is good.

Ultimately, I will chose Ghana, with all the high prices, over Nigeria.

Rossinkup:
Ghana shouldn't just be ''doing better than Nigeria'' (marginally) in these areas.

Ghana should be the Saudi Arabia of Africa. Like them, you have a small population of 30 million, vast oil and gas reserves, you're the world's largest exporter of cocoa, and the largest producer and exporter of gold in Africa.

I hear you've even got diamonds.

I mean, what the hell does your govt do with all this money?

Why should things be expensive in Ghana?

Every Ghanaian should be living like a sheikh.

Truth is, man for man, Ghana is more resource rich than Nigeria, if you calculate it by total resource value per person.

Leave Nigeria. There is no developing nation of Nigeria's population range that hasn't got widespread challenges - Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Ethiopia. Even Brazil and Mexico have major problems.

It is smaller nations with huge resources like Ghana that should really be highly prosperous.
Re: Life In Ghana Compare To Nigeria by nedu666: 10:16pm On May 05, 2021
Rossinkup:
Nigeria has 210 million people compared to Ghana's 30 million, so as both are developing nations, whatever problems you see in Ghana will be multiplied 7 times in Nigeria, by sheer virtue of population.

On the flip side, Nigeria has 7 times more avenues to enjoy your life than Ghana.
When you want to compare Nigeria and Ghana. Consider the fact that one has been an oil exporter since independence and the other is not. If Nigeria was not an oil exporter who she be better than ghana, if ghana was an oil exporter would she be better than Nigeria, if both were oil exporters, which would look better
Until then no comparison

Our sister country, Ghana �� is not finding it too easy presently with unstable light issues and others just as we have our challenges in Nigeria ��.

Workers that receive 400 Ghanaian �� Cedis (₦26,309.42k) are finding it very difficult to cope.

A medium plastic bottle � of Coke 50CL is as of today 4.50 Cedis (₦295.98k)

Petrol price is 6 Ghanaian �� Cedis (₦394.65k)

Hollandia evaporated milk is 12 Cedis (₦789.28k)

Peak evaporated Milk is 8 Cedis (₦526.19k)

Carton of 70grm Indomie Noodles is 85 Ghanaian �� Cedis (₦5,590.75k)

Cup of granulated Sugar is 3 Ghana �� Cedis (₦197.32)

My very close friend made banku (Medium pot) today with 120 Ghana �� Cedis (₦7,892.83k)

Let's concentrate, believe in our country Nigeria �� as she's Patriotic and full of prayers for her beloved country Ghana ��.

God bless Nigeria �� and Ghana ��
Moses Ozemoya Iyagi
All u said are true except for the Banku side. I don't understand d kind of pot used but to use 120cds for banku then it has to be very plenty. That banku must be for sale nd not personal use I guess. With 10cds, one can prepare banku with 10 big wraps or more so 120cds...haba!!!


Well Ghana life is more expensive than Nigeria.... even than many other africa countries.

Someone said s/he does not blv. Y do you need to blv something you could verified right where you are? Mental weakness.

Ghana problems began when she deliberately increase her currency without and put in place distracting policies against foreign investments.

Notwithstanding, Ghana has better electricity than Nigeria and is better in many indices than her.

Finally, it will be foolery for any serious nation that wants to do well to seek succour in another third world nation.

I was trying to call your attention to the term you used.. it should be devaluation as "Devaluation is the deliberate downward adjustment of a country's currency value. The government issuing the currency decides to devalue a currency. Devaluing a currency reduces the cost of a country's exports and can help shrink trade deficits"

Exchange does not any way determine standard of living that is the mistake many Nigerians are making.

Let's say 1 dollar to a naira is 500 naira.

You can't buy a meal in U.S. with 1 dollar but you can afford two meal in a day with 500 naira in Nigeria
This anology is wacko..
In nigeria, minimum wage is 30k per month, 41.7naira per hour. And its for only fortunate and advantaged federal and some states workers.
In US biden just increase minimum wage per hour to either 18dollars.. This isnt for only those working for federal or states but the entire country so far u r employed.
Can u compare 18dollars per hour to 41.7naira per hour?
Before u make 500naira in nigeria which is equivalent to a dollar, u need to work for more than 10hours...
But in US 1hour u have made money to pay ur bills, buy food etc.
Anytime u wan compare the dollar economy with naira economy remove ur APC cap.

Why the ignorance? Ghana has always been a more expensive country when compared to Nigeria, no b today. Prices of common things you buy in Nigeria are almost tripple the price in Ghana.
But lets be factual, u cant compare the quality of those goods to what is obtainable here.
The standard of goods in nigeria is appalling.
Standard organisation of nigeria, nafdac and other agencies saddled with this responsibility has failed.
Imagine peak milk now is nothing compare to what peak was..
We now have peak evaporated, full cream.. All these cos of failure by these agencies thinking more of what they can get and not why they were established.
Also inflation too and cost of production has made quality and quantity of goods in nigeria to decline.
Compare biscuits then in 2015 and what u have now, stark difference.

Ghana did not devalue her currency. She REDENOMINATED IT. Made it stronger.

When you talk about standards in Africa especially Sub-Saharan Africa, every region in Africa is packed with substandard goods. Not because people in this region like substandard goods, but because they are cheap and the majority of people in these regions do not have the financial capacity or the government is not doing their job adequately in regulating the quality of goods in circulation.
Nigeria or Ghana is not different as regards to this aspect.
Inflation is not unique to Nigeria.

Redenomination does not make a currency stronger. It only reduces the burden of carrying so much cash around to buy little things. It's more of a thing of convenience.

This is why Nigerian business men and women like taking goods( especially consumables) from Nigeria to Ghana. We have always been cheated in West Africa because of ECOWAS treaty signed in 1975.

Please read up on Ghana's redenomination so that we can move on from this depressing topic. If 3000GCDs was N3 and now 3GCDs= N3000 has that money devalued or appreciated?

When Soludo wanted to redenominate Naira and make N1=$1 would Nigeria be devalued or appreciated? I am not talking to you as a layman on the subject. Devaluation and redenomination are two different concepts.

on the background N300 could still be fueling $1. But right from the redenomination, every would be getting N1 as dollar equivalent. Your exchange rate would be treated as such. Any artificial adjustment in currency that is not backed by the law of demand and supply is either you are doing currency ceiling or currency flooring.

Please read on the Ghana case and the challenges associated with it. I no get energy.

How much gold and cocoa has ghana exported. If cocoa exports are that rewarding how come south west is not making a killing out of it. As for gold, do you know how difficult it is to get a ton of gold.
Why don't you compare Nigeria to Algeria. Both are African nations and oil exporters.
Re: Life In Ghana Compare To Nigeria by TruthHurts1(m): 10:57am On May 06, 2021
Don't mind the fools. Why wouldn't the cost of living in Ghana be higher than Nigeria when the Cedi has more value than the Naira.
