go and feed your 200 million poverty capital of the world citizens. Do you know the meaning of trade.It goes two ways.Did you listen to the man.Ghana will rather block trades with Nigeria and rather trade with Dubai and Europe.Already trade among West African ECOWAS members is the lowest in the world. Ghana exports gold,timber,oil,manufactured products, etc worth 17 billion dollars and out of it,just 80 million dollars goes to Nigeria. So how does a few loss not even loss cos the products can be sold to Europe and China.How does 80 million dollars feed Ghana. Tell me.It's your own people that will suffer cos you can't trade among all these countries again and no imports and exports for them thus businesses and jobs collapsing in Nigeria. Food and goods more than double in prices and majority of your people can't afford such high inflated living.You can't even feed yourself thus closing all your borders to starve yourselves and you're ignorantly shouting that you feed Africa.Despicable words.

Asides the little oil and timber or gold, which of your 'manufactured goods' can compete in the European market, don't even think about the Chinese market-that one is a no-go area

Ironi:
Many of you are just plain stupid and wonder whether you understand the implications of closing your border without even notifying your neighbours.

You have caused perishable products already on its way to Nigeria and other countries and vice versa,

Now you are blocking exports and imports by road which passed through Nigeria and does not have Nigeria as the final destination.

This is the essence of ECOWAS and not Nigerians fleeing their shithole lawless country to go and be pest in other countries.

You are here forming and pretending as if Nigeria is US meanwhile you poverty level and unemployment levels surpasses any country in Africa.

Nigeria is the biggest shithole Africa has to offer .,

Cry me a River

Now you know ..Who's your Daddy now huh?

Johans1991:
U want Nigeria to open border but you pursue Dangote from your country.
You lobbied Toyota to site their production plant in Ghana knowingly well that u don't have d market to give them. You were targeting Nigerian market now we don Wise up .
We will all go back to patronized innoson motors.
Any company that want the 200 millions Nigerians to patronized their goods should come and site their company in Nigerian. We have the land,the manpower and the market.

una get light?

Fuckeduppedness funny nigerians very funny so you guys are celebrating your order closure,huh? Fuckeduppedness i hope you guys will not be laughing on the wrong side of your mouths oooh how can anyone in the year 2019 possibly think closing a border is a pragmatic solution to anything?

dont mind the ediots. who dash them light do you know what nigerians need most urgently? [b] common sense[/b] reading through the thread, I am now convinced nigeria's biggest problem today is common sense

True, but what of infrastructure and power. These are key ingredients also to entice investors.

That's why I said leave your comfort zone!!!

Who told you that there's no hike or there won't be hike in transportation come December

For your information, for instance, during the GEJ era, from my place to Oshodi is N100, N150 max but now it's from N250 upwards imagine what festive period will look like!!!

Go to the market, before the arrival of your all knowing president, N50kg is N8000 but now it's N20,000 upwards

So I ask once again, how's all these policies in favour of the masses

You are unintelligent and and give disinformation.

Do you even know what the Ecowas treaty is all about? I doubt it

Let me chip this little one: There will be free movement of of goods PRODUCED WITHIN THE ECOWAS COUNTRY to all other Ecowas countries. It's not what Benin, Niger and recently Ghana are doing by bringing rice, cars, turkey, oil from Thailand, India, etc and dumping them on Nigeria. Let Ghana, Benin, Niger produce their cars, groundnut oil, rice, etc and bring them freely to Nigeria to sell. But anything aside that, the borderss remain close.
NB: They can also retaliate by closing their borders too, all the better.

MUMUdom:
Look stop talking trash. Can nigeria feed itself? Nja Dey feed all these countries? Can nigeria feed itself? Nigerian talk trash anyhow. Your country is clearly violating the ecowas treaty it signed. They are telling you that you are acting wrongly and you are saying you feed other countries? I don’t know what is inside your head sha. Pieces of paper or rag?>

Don’t mind the goat do people feel safe in that jungle? Who wants to invest in a zoo? Fuckeduppedness

we dont want to escalate it because it will turn pretty urgly and your country will feel the human cost
that will spoil Ghana's image internationally.

we have always know you to be stupid so we will keep treating you like the kid you are

This platform you're using was created by a *stupid* Nigerian o. Just carefully delete your account please. Thank you.

Stop talking like a fool,huh? Are you telling me nigeria has no border control? I mean your country does not hav3 border check points, like the rest of the civilized world? It is very stvpid to close borders because goods are being smuggled into your country. Are the goods being smuggled through approved routes? If yes, why are your customs not checking it? Is it difficult to stop a Truck loaded with rice from Benin at your border. The truth is the nigerian customs is very very corrupt. That is your problem, but you will not accept it.

The job of customs and immigration all over the world is to monitor and make sure legitimate trade goes on all the time. We are in the 21st century for God’s sake Nigeria is a signatory to ecowas protocols on fire movement of goods and services.

Never mind. Next time nigeria get hit by another west African country, don’t come here screaming ecowas ecowas. As far as I can see, Nigerians are a bunch of hypocrite bastardz

Bros total money you will pay for residence permit in Ghana including the ID card you talked about is 1050 Ghana cedis (about N70,000) yearly. While in Nigeria a Ghananian that wants a residence permit (that's if he just feels like 'dashing' government money as no one cares if you are a Ghananian or not in Nigeria) it's N15,000 every year.

vezycash:
I normally take Ghana's side on issues but if they are saying Nigeria is breaking Ecowas's agreement of free entry and exit of people then - dem dey craaaaaze, mad!

How many Nigerians have they frustrated with unreasonable demands? I know one igbo food seller who dey chased out of an uncompleted building, chased her out of her second place, and then finally out of a shop she rented in the park.

If you know how many dollars I paid - thousands of Nigerian students pay for resident permit, you'll cry. This is how it goes. You'll first need to make a foreign resident ID card. If they've not increased it - $120. You'll then use a photocopy of it when making the resident permit. It could be up to 120 cedis now.

Both are a yearly affair!

It doesn’t really matter who created the platform. So long as as Ghana or Ghanaians are being discussed on any platform,whether created by satan,osama bin laden or whoever, he has a right to comment on that platform, as a Ghanaian. If you don’t want non-nigerians to comment on this platform, then stop talking about other countries and other people. Come to think of it, Nigeria has enough problems to talk about. But what do we see, all they do is talk about other countries. What a fvck

In my opinion, the boarder should be reopened now, there are millions of Nigerian that can convinently fund a rice farm and processing farm here, but this won't work if rice is being smuggled into the country all in the name of ECOWAS free trade pact.

ECOWAS laws does not say you can uproot yourself from your country and go to stay in another’s country. We might as well remove all borders and abolish sovereignty.

ECOWAS is about free movement of people and goods and trading. You take your products to another country , you trade and back to your shithole. If your country is too much of a shithole and want to go live in another country , then you follow their immigration laws.?

Nigeria close Ghana border?

Eranko!!! I wonder if they offer sound education in Ghana

I thought Ghanaians has gotten over this border closure problem, did Buhari and Nigeria close the Ghanaian borders and if not why the continued compliant?

You e-warriors said you'd retaliate on Nigerians and Nigeria yet nothing till date except noise and threats as if we care, we even dared you to go on but all we hear is threats.
If you don't have the guts to do anything then shut the hell up.

I tire o, the by been crying as if it's their border that Nigeria shut down.

Even Benin republic whose GDP is highly affected because 20% of their GDP is from smuggling hasn't complained like this, there must be more to these complaints

Are you kidding me? Ghanaians are wailing here? why will Ghanaians be wailing when their economy is doing so well? Growing at 8% the ones wailing are the poverty capital of the world,huh? The stvpidity capital of the world. The zoo that has been overrun by kidnappers what do you think? Fuckeduppedness

Ghanaians are crying more than the bereaved sef, Niger and Benin that are most affected

Yet the poverty capital decided to close it borders and Ghana with a growing economy @8% is still complaining. Let's leave the borders closed then, it won't affect Ghana. Yet, the interviewee says he prays the borders doesn't remain closed. You guys are confused; honestly.

You are still talking nonsense,huh? I told you yesterday that Ghana, as the real big brother in the region, representing the rest of ecowas. You don’t get it,right? Ghana is doing great, growing its economy at 8% fricking percent we don’t give a fvck about you nigerians. In any case, the generator-powered Nigerian economy is heading for another recession

By the way, when Ghana closed down some shops of Nigerians in Ghana, didn’t your government send a delegation to Ghana to beg? Why didn’t they just ignore the closure since only few Nigerians were affected? What you nigerians need is common sense, which seems to in short supply at the moment

Arizonaguy:
You are a fool mister
Ghana sourcing commodities they can easily get from Nigeria or other Neighbouring countries from Europe or elsewhere will only drive up inflation in their country, also depletes their foreign reserve and depreciates their currency
You are so lacking in common sense

Just tell that person you quoted that since Ghana cares less about the huge 201 million Nigeria market then they should stop crying about not having access into Nigeria

Ask your folks in Ghana if they can notice the effect of the border closure on the economy of Ghana Fuckeduppedness you don’t get it right? Ghana has a duty to speak for the rest of West Africa and that is what it is doing. So because Ghana’s economy is not affected, Ghana should overlook what is a clear violation of ecowas protocols?

Spare us your epistle please, respect Nigeria for once.
I thought it was just Benin and Niger reps that would be affected, later learnt Togo and Cameroon were crying too.
It was the ever mouthful and boastful Ghana later and just getting to know that Liberia and Ivory coast are equally affected.
We'll deal with you guys and you wouldn't know what hit you all.

Benin
Niger
Togo
Cameroon
Ghana
Ivory coast
Liberia

Waiting for reports from Burkina Faso, Senegal, Mali etc.

if benin,togo and Ghana is affected, a country like Burkina Faso would be affected .Mali might but not really be dependent on some of these west African country like Burkina Faso .. Senegal on the other hand, they get theirs goods from Morocco , even Mali gets theirs from Morocco.. Ivory for long has been trading with Morocco .. basically, we are all in the west as we all do trades across our borders.. Nigeria also gets hides and skin from Mali and Burkina Faso, and other agric produce. To some extent, everyone is affected..

supercase1:
Buhari effect continues!!!!! The earlier Ecowas countries join forces with biafra and overtrow nigerriya government the better for all of them

This is a dangerous statement in a public forum. Calling for foreign Governments to team up and overthrow a sovereign Government is uncalled for. Please don't let emotion overcrowd your judgement. You are not as anonymous as you think you are.

Ghanians show us more respect or suffer

The economy of Ghana is already decelerating even before the border closure so come down your high horse and face reality

MUMUdom:
Stop smoking weed,huh? By the way, how much trade exists between Ghana and Nigeria? How much goods do Ghanaians send to Nigeria, and vice versa? Do you nigerians think Ghana’s economy will feel any impact if you close your borders till thy kingdom come?

I think some of your nigerians are very very stvpid and deluded. Ghana is leading the protestation because it thinks this is a clear violation of ecowas protocol, the same way you nigerians were shouting ecowas ecowas when Ghana closed shops of some Nigerians in Accra.

Closing shops owned by Nigerians in Ghana and Nigeria closing her land borders against smuggling and terrorists movements are not the same thing or similar. Are you this stupiid or what

This is clearly a matter of principle. Ghana’s economy is growing at 8%, whether Nigeria’s borders are closed or not. Ghana is not panicking at all. If @nyone should panic, it should be nigerians and their generator-powered economy. I see the Nigerian economy entering another recession in 2920 Fuckeduppedness anyone wants to bet? That is when una eyes go clear recession straight

You know, we can decide today put your whole country in total darkness by just a signal from our president. Your country depends on Nigeria for many things, chief among them is gas supply to power your energy sector.
