Rubbish, we don't want anything ghana in Nigeria, period. They should take their kidney and liver destroyer Alomo to Chad or Sudan

You ignorant Nigerians like to form and feel good over nothing. Our country is big , has a population like rabbits blah..blah..so we would do fine. Such nonsense.

Don’t Nigerian products enter Ghana , nitwit ?

Nigeria is a big shithole in Africa so deal with it.

If a country has almost a 60m of its citizens unemployed and running around in other countries as a nuisance I don’t see where in lies your arrogance and empty forming and empty feel good attitude.

Nigerian immigrants in other countries are the only Africans I have seen commit suicide because they don’t want to be sent back to Nigeria.

If Nigeria is so great and want to close borders , fine. That’s what we want ,though.

Get your shit out of my country and stay in Nigeria with your shit. Who gives a Bleep.

Ghana is actually the rightful leader of West Africa, they are hampered by population. Nkrumah set the pace for west Africa, people like Zik were Nkrumah's proteges, Our founding fathers like Awo all took inspiration from Nkrumah. if ghana had our population and oil West Africa would be a different story.

Nigeria is benefitting from what it hasnt worked for besides the luck of Oil and fucking and having babies like rabbits

Dont get it twisted!

your sentiment is killing your logic.

How can you say population aside when it is the biggest determining factor?

China today is what it is because of its population. If nigeria decide to become a self sustaining unit, it can because of its population.

All it needs is to increase production, a factor which can easily be controlled.

But how can Ghana become a self-sustaining unit when it cannot increase its population at will?

Use your logic. Nigeria is the only country in west Africa that has the potential to become a single independent entity (if it can close it borders and increase production because it already has the market potential)

Ghana cannot say the same

Innovate07:



Nigerians are investing on the Ghanaian economy directly through the students who pay ridiculous high fees, real estate, and through the many tax paying businesses set up there. Ghanaian smuggling goods into our country is no investment but robbery

Ghanaians smuggle goods into your country

Is this the shit they teach you at school??

I am saying that Ghana would be a more advanced country if it had our resources, We have all that is needed but have done nothing with it is all I am saying.

Nigeria is like a beautiful woman who beleives her hype that she is beautiful and thinks that alone is enough to get a good husband, does not develop the skills/character to become a good wife, mother and then when she gets to a certain age without a husband starts to fight the other not so beautiful women blaming them for her problems. Ghana is like a woman who is average looking but a good, wife, home keeper and a good mother, but the good men dont look at her because she isnt that good looking.


The advantages Nigeria has are God given, that is why for 59 years all we talk about is resources and potential. We have done nothing to improve on those God given resources and instead are going about calling ourselves giants of Africa.

Nigerians should rather be concerned and worried about their huge rabbit like population which is becoming a nuisance as immigrants around the world.

Nigeria as an entity can not sustain its population and you are gradually getting into big shit.

Do you know the level of poverty , illiteracy and unemployment in Nigeria.

Why would Nigerian immigrants rather commit suicide than be sent home.

Nigerians have to stop procreating like rabbits without a plan and stop offloading your miscreants unto other countries .

It is not about hating on Ghanaians or not, it's about knowing that Ghana relies on Nigeria so much for survival and Ghanaians still come online to badmouth Nigeria at every opportunity.
I feel for these Nigeriens and others but Ghanaians and the Beninese can go to hell.

Tell me how Ghana relies on Nigeria so much ??

Is this the shit they teach you at school??

not just goods Ghanaians also smuggle arms, drugs into Nigeria as well.

seankafor:
We are suffocating those infants..

I wish it's just targeted at ghana and south Africa.

Now what Benin and Niger has to do is to beg their government to come up with a better policy that will curb smuggling..

They cannot. They are French slaves.
Do you know why their currencies and economies, are what it is today?
Those countries previously colonized by France are still being colonized by them. Their leaders still have to take orders from their boss, France.

Buhari is right on this one. They are all helping colonial powers to cause more damage to Nigeria's economy.

Don’t talk like a fool,huh? You think you get sense,huh? A large population doesn’t automatically translate into a large market. What is important is purchasing power. 200 million impoverished mudder fuggerz is not a big asset for any economy. What is baffling from my point of view is the stupidity of most Nigerians. They believe simply because Ghana sent a delegation to Nigeria over the border closure means Ghana’s economy is suffering because nigeria closed its borders. That is the most ridiculous thing I keep hearing from nigerians Ghana’s exports to nigeriabis not more than $100 million. Even if Ghaba decides not to export anything at all to nigeria, it will not impact on its economy because the trade volumes are negligible. But the Ghanaian government sent a delegation to Abuja because that is what anyresponsible government is supposed to do. Even if Ghana’s exports to Nigeria is $1 million, Ghana will still have sent a delegation to Abuja.

Some Ghanaian companies export to Nigeria. They are told they cannot export to Nigeria, yet Nigeria is still exporting to Ghana. What do you expect the Ghanaian government to tell its exporters who are being denied access to the Nigerian market while nigerian companies are still exporting to Ghana?

The Ghana government therefore took a very pragmatic step to go to Abuja to meet nigerian officials and convey to them their reservations about what is going. To suggest that Ghana’s economy is suffering because of the border closure is absurd and pure nonsense. Some months ago, some shops belonging to nigerian traders in Ghana were closed. A delegation, led by your foreign minister, went to Accra to discuss with the Ghanaian authorities. Why did the Nigerian government send a delegation to Ghana over the shops closure? It’s because the Nigerian government has a duty to protect nigerian interests anywhere. That was exactly what the Ghana government did. But now nigerians see the coming of a Ghanaian delegation to Abuja to discuss the border closure as “begging” when the Nigeria government delegation came to Accra to meet Ghanaian officials over the closed nigerian shops, it wasn’t to beg. But when A Ghanaian delegation came to Abuja over th3 border issue, then it is to”beg” you see how stvpid you nigerians are

Premiumwriter:
dont be a fool. It is not so much as the import but export.

Nigeria is the market for the products from your local industry.

Once that market is closed off, your local industry will have no choice but to reduce production, make less profit and in no time shut down.

It's simple logic. Look at your alomo bitters already crying.

Nigeria already have the market. All it needs is production. This is of course easier for them to get than for you to find bigger markets (again use your head).

So it's Ghana that's dependent on Nigeria not the other way round. The reason is simple: population.

again you're not reasoning with stats.

Border closure is the first step in creating a better Nigeria.

Population is never a problem if it meets adequate productivity.

What the government is doing right now will stimulate the people (theoretically) to start investing in themselves. Producing what they need (this of course will alleviate poverty) and then consuming it again (their population is their blessing) and only exporting the excess.

Now rice mills and production companies are already coming up. Next season I believe more people will invest in rice production (Nigeria has the land and water).

If its limit other things such as cars across its borders, what do think will stop more people from investing in local car production because the demand will be there. All it needs is to discourage car importation by making the cost ridiculously higher.

The path of border closure is Nigeria trying to fix itself. If sustained for long, poverty will be a thing of the past. But God help Ghana and the surrounding countries. Their local industries will start folding up one after the other like its a dream.

Market and productivity is the most important aspect of any country's economy. Of the two market (population) is the best factor to have. Productivity can be stimulated but how can you increase your market? (tell your citizens to born more children?)

May be you have no ideas of how many Nigerians residing in Ghana, students alone are almost over the hustlers..

Ghana is our friend, a good one forget about the online ranting by some of her people.

OK for that we can encourage them to full our country with substandard and to sabotage our economy simply because we are friends .Now we Nigerians Youth are the first to complain of no job and migrating to the other country for job but we are unable to utilize the opportunity we have .Don't you know our highly population,consumption of Rice and other foreign goods is an opportunity for us to create job for ourselves if we can encourage local product in Nigeria? But many Nigerians believe in government to provide employment and everything other things for us while we can work on by having small small factories and small scale businesses .

I have a better idea. Can nigeria close its seaports and airports as well? So that nothing enters and nothing leaves? Is it true that nigerians can leave their country through the closed borders but foreigners are not allowed to enter Nigeria through the land borders? If indeed this is true, it smacks of crass hypocrisy why allow your citizens to leave if you are not allowing others to enter?

I advise you to read up on your history, without Ghana and Nkrumah, Nigeria independence wouldn’t have come when it did. Nigeria only took up the mantle after independence and oil. Nkrumah was toppled baby the CIA because he wasn’t playing ball. Ghana was ground zero for the African liberation movement.

Nigeria is the biggest economy in Africa and Ghana relies on Nigeria to buy a lot of her goods. The fact that we agree to take your goods from you and PAY YOU shows how much you depend on us to push forex into your economy through trade.

Your country relies on Nigeria for survival and this is why they are gnashing their teeth today at the border closure. Even your deputy Minister said Ghana needs Nigeria more than Nigeria needs ghana.

Nigeria gains so very little from ghana while you gain a great deal from us. This border closure has exposed all you mushroom countries who feel you can look down on Nigeria.

You have 28m people let them drink your Kasapreko products as well as other produces which you refuse to ship through the seaports.

If Kasapreko can say they have lost over $2m so far then imagine how much others in Ghana have lost.

Yes, Nigeria with its huge uncontrolled population is a potential market but that does not translate into ‘Ghana relies on Nigeria ‘ .

Fact is , currently not much trade is going on between Ghana and Nigeria and Nigeria does not give Ghana free oil so your statement has no head or tail.

The trading potential between African countries has been realized hence the formation of the African free trade zone which would be meaningless when countries begin to close borders rather than finding other means of solving their problems.

For instance Nigerian immigrants are currently a huge nuisance in Ghana and we would like to throw them out in a second but we are trying to find other alternatives of dealing with them.

*shakes head*

And You feel our 'huge' rate of unemployment will be solved by us leaving our borders open to smugglers?

Nigeria is not a single person. Nigerian economy is not the pocket of a single person.

We are talking about a dynamic system that once tripped in a corner will be unbalanced in every corner of the country.

The aim of border closure is to solve all of the above problems you've listed. It's to stimulate production.

For people to invest in production, they must be sure that their products will be consumed. Once guaranteed, they can safely invest.

Who would have wanted to invest in local rice production if people are consuming rice from Thailand?

Since that route has been shut off, a new production plant is already up within month and another is already about to kick off.

More people are going to be employed (huge unemployment not so huge anymore, is it?)

They will make money to spend. I laugh when you say Nigeria doesn't have the resources.

We have more than enough. Our wealth sadly is divided between two clear parties: those who have too much (the few) and those who have too little (the many).

By getting those who have too many to invest in local industry and those who have too little to work in these industries, wealth will start being evenly distributed and that huge poverty will start looking small.

Huge illiteracy? More than a million Nigerians are registered on this forum, no African country can boast of such. This of course is not test for true literacy.

Just telling you that most Nigerians are not illiterate. Nigerians are not illiterate. Most of us are in school here, in your country and almost every part of the world.

Do you ever wonder why Nigerians always cry online that "school is a scam"?

It's because it's like a culture here for every young person to go to school here as most parents see that as the only way to succeed.
