today, Ghana generation capacity is 4700MW of electricity
Enough to supply the entire Ghana
To the extend that we all supplying Burkina Faso and Togo
And we have reserve plants we're shutting down.

It's your fellow Nigerians who go all the way to bring Nigerian license car to drive in Ghana
Your frustration is really telling

4700MW Nigeria is currently generating above ur 4700MW that is not still enough for us to use

Go and sit down

Good day Nigerians,

Its going to be a new year in a month time and i have always looked forward to a free time in a bid to share my experience in one of Africa's finest countries. GHANA.

Some Nigerians would not just make it in Nigeria (Perhaps the economy, environment, or your village people).
It is somewhat a statement of fact that Nigeria is a bit saturated. Wouldn't you rather move to a less saturated country?

Most especially when the structure in Ghana is more organized, the people are calmer, and you get good value for your cash in a security conscious environment.

So things are not working for you here, why not get into an ABC bus and jet off to Ghana?.

NOTE: Am not trying to encourage unplanned travel over here, am just asking you to move strategically. Maybe Ghana is waiting for you/

U heard, dey simply didn't tell u d full story

Keep ur half baked knowledge to urself

I'm not talking what i heard in GH, but what i saw, and experienced

To even get a loan from a micro finance bank on GH, many occasions u will need to bribe ur way through
cos you're a Nigerian
They're afraid you'll run away with their money
My bank is pleading with me to take a 20000 cedis loan

And what is the population of ghana, is it not a prerequisite to have health care insurance b4 companies can even give u employment,

How many are able to use d so called insurance to receive treatment?

Nor just let me start to dey talk ohhhh, bcus Gh is a country i love so much

They is no reason foe anyone with sense to state dat GH is better dan Nigeria, no west Africa country is better dan Nigeria

Same Ghana dat receive £150 million plus as budget support fund from EU go still dey follow Nigeria make mouth
one Ghana does not receive budget support
Unfortunately Nigeria still receive those supports.
The health insurance I made reference to is what the government provides once not even added private ones yet.

There are 330m Americans and only 22m are on Obama Care

Do you even think through the stuffs you post?

1. Welcome to benin republic, picture 1 shows the border of Nigeria and Benin Republic. You have to trek while you pass any of the borders.

2. Welcome to Ghana. Here's an illustration of a ghanian plane arriving gallantly though i commuted via a car from lagos, ABC transport in lagos is also a great alternative, just make sure you have someone to receive you before you move.

3. The journey was more than 24 hours, we had a lot of waits due to the fact that the car is a New Nigerian registered vehicle, so we had to do a lot of clearance at the borders. Picture 2 shows a charity building in togo alongside gh.

4. Picture 4 illustrates a filling station at Ghana's border town, Afflao, a closer look at my hand in the picture shows my power bank. Only if i had known there wouldn't be a need for it. grin grin grin

Seriously, 24 hours to Ghana?

For what? That transport company should do better!

Nice but did you go with a drone? Saw the pix of the Independence Square shocked BTW most filling station pumps in Nigeria have that POS functionality just that the stations are not knowledgeable enough to know that they need to integrate with a PTSP (Payment Terminal Service Provider) who will build the software to activate it.

They just refuse to do it, simple.

Now to the second hotel where i lodged, eclipse hotel, cheap and quite accessible. The driver took my bag upstairs with the door to his matrix opened. That gives you a sense of safety.

13. When you start comparing the cost of there stuffs with an handicapped Naira, then you might not even be spending a kobo, you'll think those stuffs are expensive, not knowing that its due to a watery Naira. Coke goes for 2 or 3 cedis, which is like 222-333 naira, same as bottle water. So don't even compare.

But the coke tastes different and thicker.

14. Good Food, they sell jollof rice at every street corner, with nicely carved food shops just accessible. 2cedis, 4 cedis. Then, Ghana is a home of chicken, as they sell it alot likewise. And the nice thing is that almost at every spot, they microwave your food before serving you.

15. Mr Wale enjoying a nice meal of fried rice.

16. Bought this wanche with shittor for about 3cedis i think, here's a very cheap meal though. Really wanted to have a taste, and it was a nice mix of rice and beans.

Oga don't even compare!

That cedi that gets devalued every few years?

Appreciate your own...

Hi.

can you please give a run down of some of the costs one might expect to incur?

Will a 500 usd (approx 200, 000 naira) budget be enough for one person?

You want to rent the presidential suite for one month? grin

That amount is more than enough unless you want to buy a lot of things.

An average hotel actually costs around 20k naira per night, so look for less than average. Trust me, they are still better than most hotels in Lagos grin

That being said, your major money guzzler in accra would be the taxis because you will need to move about.

So, ditch the Taxis and take TROTRO.
Their version of the danfo would bring you closer to the people.
The reall Ghanaians.

I am also proud of Nigeria too.. But you are not getting the picture clearly.. One distinct uniqueness about ghana and 9ja is peace. There is peace in ghana.. There is law and order.. Nothing like hustle and bustle... No magomago... The serene is alot better.. With one naira or one cedi you can live in peace in ghana But in 9ja you need more money to get to live in peace... In nigeria, there is noise and air pollution but it is not like that in gh.. The air is fresh..

When I was schooling in gh, at night I smell cocoa all over and I was living in a city(kumasi) but when I come to Lagos for holiday, I smell generator fume.. This is bad.. Let us say the truth..

Accra you mean?

I had peace and lived well in Kano too.

Come back after your visit to Kumasi, central region and northern Ghana...

If Una nor stop d lies i will keep calling u people out, u are just someone who went dey to school, dey are people who went for business who can tell how life in d street his, not u receiving ur financial upkeep from Nigeria

How will u know d true state of things

Idiot, na every body be Gboy, onye ara, is dat d best u can say,

nor be Nigeria money dem take pay ur school fees, ghana is good why ur entire family nor relocate there work d money there to pay ur fees

Or u think na every body wen go ghana na go read book, face d book wen dey cajor for ur head, and let people with sense talk

Stop showing ur stupidity, d entire ghana dat is not up to 20 LGA for Nigeria

Wen Accra alone never boast of 247 electricity finish na d 10 region go boast of

If u don't know areas in Accra suffering from epileptic power supply den u simply don't know ghana


Did ur small head not tell u d cost of getting license plate number Cotonou or togo is way way higher, den u should not counter wat u know nothing about, just for s sake of talking and misleading people, keep asking why dey prefer coming to Nigeria to buy car and license it here, Oruewel
lol! Big liar! Ghanaians buy car in nigeria and license and then take it back to ghana... Joke � of the year!!! Wait a minute, I think you might be right but come to think of it, Nigerian students where bringing their cars from nigeria, ship it to tema and drive it to kumasi.. Is that what you mean by Ghanaians buying license plate 9ja cars? Even 9ja no dey drive newly secondhand cars unlike before... Just a few wey dey use 2009... 2015 cars.. But ghana ratio high pass 9ja..

Imagine, 9ja still dey use kabou kabou as taxi, but you and I know say for Gh na all dis new cheap manual cars wey dem dey buy new at 15000 cedis, now 20k cedis as taxi.. better still na newly secondhand model cars used as taxi.. Omo, make we enter seme and u Go c d kind cars wey 9ja dey use enter mile2, na all this 2001 model toyota camry or 2003-5 space bus cars... Omo, come aflao na toyota corolla 2007-9, toyota camry 2007-9 model.. If I lie, let us go to olx Nig and ghana and see the kind of cars used in both countries.

You know whenever I see that there is a battle BTW 9ja and ghana.. The moment a 9ja guy starts boasting about how big 9ja is, GDP, population that is when they are on the loosing side...

I have been stressing comfortable living In both countries and ghana tops it all..

You sound like a loser to me.. You are one of those that did not make it in ghana so you ran back to 9ja... The man who fed hungry Ghanaians (gboy talk)...

85% of nigerians in ghana doing business are happy, the rest 15% are people like you who the system did not pay and you got frustrated because you had no job, no biz or yahoo did not pay for you.. Most of your type move to Togo, LA cote d'ivoire..

Give me your name and I know you have no record in the immigration only to come to Ghana and feed hungry Ghanaians... I hate those talk when I hear Gboys say, ghana no get money, I buy d bar, I feed hungry Ghanaians, ghana babe cheap... . Kwasiaa

please, I beg you.. I can tolerate some states in nigeria but not what you mentioned.... Is it not the same kano where there was bomb blast at the central mosque in the year 2014? Is it not the same Kano where tribal clash exist? Is not the same kano where a woman was killed for blasphemy and the court gave them freedom. Is it not the same kano where shia Muslims and police attacked?

Crime exist everywhere but not that kind of place where I would fear going to mosque to pray to my Allah due to terrorism which happens there.. Or tribal or religious hate..

Bomb blast since 2014 in one mosque is what you are going on about abi? Over 3000 people were killed in America in 2001 I hope you never go there so you won't die there

Civil Discipline and adherence to law and order here is top notch, the police force is alot more civil. Cases where the police would alt our vehicle and talk to use like responsible individuals cannot be over-emphasized. Questions like "May i know why you don't have a shoe on while driving sire?" They know there job, its not a matter of bribe, its a matter of law.

9. The public transport system here is also classy, i saw corolla sport being used as taxi so many times, matrix is a very popular taxi too, the cars are neat and in good condition.

10. The drivers in Ghana are just more civil, an exact opposite from what obtains in Nigeria. I was shocked when i got to an idle road and saw cars park to respect the traffic light, i looked right and left in search of a policeman to no avail, knowing fully well that even with a barrack, Nigerians don't respect traffic lights, most especially when no one is there to enforce the law.

They were all calm and waited till the green light before they all continued moving slowly towards the next stop.

11. The streets are very clean as well. You'll most definitely start seeing companies you once saw in Nigeria, but left due to the Nigerian situation, you'll find a lot of them in GH.

12. Here's West Ridge, Accra street


One of the challenges in Nigeria is the population. The entire population of Ghana is not up to that of Lagos state and like a military general once stated , the water used in flushing toilets in Lagos alone is the water need of the population of Ghana as a country.

If we can decentralise the system of administration in Nigeria and allow for regional government Nigeria would have one of the best infrastructure according to the needs of the regions, anywhere in Africa but other reasons other than development drives policies in Nigeria
