But this their new law gives no room for ECOWAS protocols of retailing ECOWAS made goods at all.
don't mind those people talking rubbish,this is just out of it...it's inhumane even to your fellow black man.

y take in economic refugees if u know they won't b allowed to trade n hustle,though restrictions are welcomed in certain areas of economy but y 1 million USD?if they have that amount they won't b in your country in the first place.

These Ghanaians are just trying to b clever by half,they should come out straight that they only want investors n they only issue investors visa instead of all these thrash

I can't help but agree with the Op. I think Nigerians can generally have a high tendency to be very lawless in other countries if allowed. Maybe Ghanaians themselves encouraged the flouting of their own laws initially when they deemed it harmless. But apparently they are now feeling threatened that if something is not done their local retail markets could be overrun by Nigerians who may be coming in with funds being sourced from questionable sources that their local retailers can't compete with. In light of that I can't say I blame them for protecting their turf. If every country simply allows foreigners free reign to come in and compete in their markets without certain restrictions, many countries would be overrun by foreigners in no time. There is nothing like absolute free trade anywhere in the world.

Let's not be naive. Even the developed countries have protectionist policies that protect certain sectors of their local markets/economy, so let's be guided.




What you posted here is absolute drivel, you are the ignorant one.The ecowas protocols, which Ghana and Nigeria have ratified and domesticated supercedes that local Ghanaian laws.Please do not exhibit your ignorance here.
Its bad leadership here in Nigeria that is drving V our children into the hands of wicked African nations...............our born to rule fulani colonialists should do quick and carry their bags and go.......at this point i don't even mind a Tinubu presidency..........these sahrlian savages are just running the country aground.

Do your con3 well well. B4 it is too late, they just want to stop you from termitizing their economy with one magomago or the other that is very very clear to them.

Most developing/underdeveloped countries beyond 100m population would never have enough to cater for ALL its citizenry without emigration. It's the price for Overpopulation.

I do believe that No one belong anywhere though. I.e. emigration isn't a bad thing. But we are really Overpopulated in my Opinion.

The above regulations are antihuman and specifically anti-immigrants. The regulations are simply draconian. These freaking Ghanaians cannot survive a day if other Africans state stood up such laws against Ghana as a country. Where are the doctrines of ECOWA? These retrogressive policy and Ghanaian government should be hold accountable for this inhumanity against fellow Africans. What a shame.

Most countries have protectionist policies.

Canada has plenty against US goods, etc.

Additionally, we also shut our land borders against Ecowas protocol...

Ghana seems to be the only country I know where there is separate laws for its local business men and non-Ghanians. Or are they still pained by the border closure by the Nigerian government which they see as being targeted at them? Because the above listed laws suddenly came into effect the moment Nigeria closed her borders against smugglers. All this is just bad belle.

We actually have very similar laws.

A foreigner wishing to register a business in Nigeria needs to have a minimum share capital of N10,000,000.

A Nigerian citizen, on the other hand, needs a minimum share capital of N10,000.

These laws have long been in existence.

Nigeria has its own laws, go do your research and post some of Nigerian’s laws.

As we speak , Nigeria does not allow certain products to enter Nigeria from Ghana or wherever.

The problem is not the laws. The problem is that they only enforce them on Nigerians. Other traders from Mali, Ivory Coast, Togo, Benin etc are allowed to trade anyhow they want. Only Nigerians are targeted. There are also laws against illegal mining in Ghana, yet there are thousands of Chinese, Indians and Lebanese mining gold illegally there with impunity. So, Ghana has laws. Just that they only enforce them on Nigerians.

Doesn't matter how or on who laws are enforced! Whether selectively or totally.... A law is a law!!! It is what it is!

You should never flout laid down laws especially in a foreign or strange land!!! Simple as that!!!

For me, there is no case here!!! Nigeria and Nigerians should return the favour here if Ghanaians are guilty of the same breach!.

Laws should be upheld and obeyed by all whether local or foreign, especially foreign!!!

Don't kid yourself. No West African country is a slave to any ecowas protocol. Even Nigeria herself violated that so-called protocol when it shut its borders recently. When Nigeria deported millions of Ghanaians decades ago, it didn't need to ask for anybody's permission. Every democratic and sovereign nation is first of all subject to the wishes of its people before any sub-regional protocol. The issue can quickly degenerate into a political one for the Ghanaian government hence what you are seeing happening. The Ghanaian government is only yielding to the yearnings and requests of its people to prevent Nigerians from engaging in retail trading in their country, ecowas protocols are secondary in priority.

The Ghanaian that will comment here will tell you he/her buys their spare part from Nigerians. Ghanaians sell at exorbitant rate..

The biggest problem with Nigerians is because they feel worthless about themselves, they feel shocked to see that there are countries who protect her citizens. Nigeria seems to be the only country that immigrants are termed expatriates and are allowed to start from the top. If you place no values on yourselves, others will treat you with derision. Why this is difficult for Nigerians to understand baffles me.
