If you know you can't withstand nigeria's challenges or you can't submit to TINUBU's presidency.
kindly relocate to Ghana because TINUBU is coming to rule nigeria come 2023.

All these APC and Tinubu's lapdogs mocking Ghana and bringing Igbos into their foolish comparison are actually fools that lack knowledge.



Ghana is more better managed than Nigeria. If Ghana had 70% of the crude oil and other natural resources Nigeria has, Ghana will be competing with Dubai and other fast growing economies of the world.



Shameless Nigerians forming pro-APC and Tinubu by mocking Ghana's struggling economy forgot that Ghana's major export to the world is just cocoa. The same cocoa that Nigeria have in Southwest, some Southeast and Southsouth states and couldn't harness, instead they abondoned it to focus on looting crude oil and destroying their nation creating insecurities all over Nigeria and causing ethnic and religious divisions just to ensure they continue stealing their nation's crude oil income.



Nigeria is among the biggest producers of crude oil in the world that ought to be competing economically with nations like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Russia, etc but here they are praising their criminal leaders that have stolen their commonwealth and running their country aground. Shamelessly comparing their country with enormous mineral resources (crude oil, natural gas, gold, etc) with small Ghana surviving mostly on cocoa export.



If not for the fact that Nigerians, especially Southern Nigerians are smart and helping to boost Nigeria's diaspora remmittances through their great talents like being number one in hiphop and Afro music production in the world which is bringing in a lot of FX for Nigeria (youtube earnings, spotify, itunes, facebook, etc), Nollywood films also earning Nigeria diaspora remittance via youtube, spotify, facebook, etc, our talented comedians, footballers, athlethes, sportsmen, tech guys exporting raw tech talent, and even freelance workers working from their various homes, school hostels and small offices in Nigeria and earning in hard foreign currencies, maybe 1 USD would have been equal to 5,000 Nigerian Naira today, yet these foolish APC and Tinubu praise singers are here mocking a struggling Ghana that rely hugely on just cocoa export.



Combine this with Nigerians abroad earning and bringing in FX and boosting Nigeria's FX, you will realize that what's sustaining Nigeria is not just the crude oil being stolen by Nigeria's stinkingly corrupt leaders and their collaborators in military (army, navy, airforce) yet being praise worshipped by shameless, foolish nodowell bigots!



Yet these online urchins and nodowells have the guts to be mocking Ghana that have no much mineral resources aside cocoa which Nigeria also have plus crude oil, natural gas, gold and several other mineral resources.



Foolish nodowells supporting APC and Tinubu trying to form lovers of Nigeria whereas all they love about Nigeria is the fact that their kinsmen and religious folks are the ones currently in charge of looting Nigeria to the detriment of others.




God and nature will reward you all, heartless and gullible supporters of criminals and looters, your generations will pay for your continuous support of evil all because of your ethno-religious hatred and bias.

tishbite41:

Why was Soludo stopped from redenominating the Naira?!

Redomination is just a comestic dressing of a problem. Redomination is bad thing, It will cause inflation. For example, A banker salary is 50k cedis per month, transport to work to and from = 2k. A congo of garri 1k. Now Ghana redominate their currency by removing 3 zeros. Hence the teachers salary is 50 cedis (controlled environment). Transportation is supposed to become 2 cedis, it is not regulated so they can decide to make it 4 cedis. The person selling garri can sell her congo of garri to be 2 cedis instead of 1 cedi. Prices already doubled , the teachers purchasing power has reduced.

2 things to take away, redenomination doesn't add value per se. Instead it can cause inflation you have seen in the example. Because most don't know what is going on, they will just set their prices. One of the issues Ghana is facing. Upon that the money has depreciated more that 10 times after redenomination. Thank God Soludo was stopped because he was going to follow Ghana but I guess after proper analysis, people made him realized it is just a cosmetic measure. The real $1 value in cedis now is 1 x 1000 × (the current rate which is btw 10-12) so $1 is about 10k+ cedis in real value. Hope this makes sense. You have to spend more in Ghana to get equal value in Naija, meaning what you will get for 200 naira in Naija, you might to spend 600 naira equivalent to get that. If the condition continue to get worse Ghanaians will start moving to Naija, Ivory coast etc provided they can get jobs.

@ the emboldened, the people saying Ghana is better than Nigeria are not Nigerians. They have taken it as a duty upon themselves to insult Nigeria all their lives.

That is why any good news about Nigeria always choke them.

Funny enough, those people always constitute nuisance anywhere they go all over the world. Yet when they are about to get the hangman's noose in those countries for crimes, they start insulting same Nigeria for not coming to their rescue.

Watch how they will start telling you how Ghana is a billion time better than the zoo (as they always call Nigeria).

I met one far away in England yesterday. He asked if I'm Jamaican and I replied no, that I'm Nigerian. He guessed and said yoruba? I answered yes. I asked what tribe, he told me that tribe I don't want to mention. I said '' oh from (name of the presidential candidate from that region)? He said yes and started making noise how he should be elected bla bla bla. He doesn't even know my name or asked for it within 30 seconds to a minute he has started the very aggressive conversation. Me I kuku walked away and said see ya later man.

I didn't even campaign for any candidate though I have a preferred one but man Don vex small thing o.

Small thing has become political counter. The whole conversation didn't last up to 70 seconds. I was dazed. Very confrontational and ready to fight. God.....

How can you compare yourself with a country whose currency exchanges at less than 13 cedi to 1$ and you, who has almost $750 to the dollar? We are not mate to Ghana at all.
Consider political stability, security, social amenities, trade and tourism (Nigerians trooping to Ghana for foreign training like Dubai). Nigeria is still learning and coming from a distance behind.

You need to be educated! I don't need any clairvoyant to tell me that you say all these out of total ignoramus! Please before you comment on a topic like this, make sure you're well equipped with up-to-date information! People like you will just sit at the comfort of your abode and start typing unwarranted stuff basically to satisfy your ignorance! Permit me to educate you, that cedis is over-valued! Go and do your findings very well of how much cedis was to dollar in 2007! How can a currency jumped over 1000% over the course of 15years? Nigeria is not doing well currently so be it all over the world! Paris citizens staged a public protest yesterday over the rising cost of things! I expect more Africa currencies to fall more due to high inflation in US, the US dollar is becoming stronger because of that inflation! Let me round it up by telling you that Ghana have resulted to using dollars openly and this singular act will do them no good than to crash their economy.

The Cedi is still stronger than Naira, though the degree of devaluation of the Cedi is higher than Naira.

Let me use an analogy. If you are on the 10th floor and you drop to the 6th floor that's 4 floors depreciation. But if you are at 2nd floor and remain there, that is zero depreciation but that doesn't make you better than the person on the 6th floor.

You are wrong. The Naira has always been stronger than the cedis. Four zeros were removed from the cedis 2 decades ago. Back then, a loaf of bread sells for almost 10000 Cedi. So what you have been seeing with the Ghanian economy is a mirage.

Let's not confuse exchange rate of national currency to quality of life in a country.... Quality of life is way better in Ghana than Nigeria as of today (PERIOD).

They have security and we don't.

Their Universities and educational system are functioning and our's don't.

Their health care system is better than ours.

They have better electricity and we don't.

People respect and obey the laws in Ghana compared to Nigerians with Nigerian laws.

Their elections are far free and better organized than Nigerian election

Their president is way smarter and not a tribalist like Nigeria's president.

I totally agree with you on some points, when we are comparing economy and currency, Nigeria is better than Ghana.

However, the standard of living, which include security, health care facilities and services, education etc, Nigeria is lacking behind Ghana.

In Nigeria, we contributed money to hire security guards, provide potable water (borehole) , electricity (gen set) even you must pay money for quality education our local government politicians are worst, you can't point one singular policy they are effecting.
