Bridget95:14th largest. not 6th. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_oil_production And Nigeria does not have anywhere near ''the highest deposit in gas''. can't boast of 2 hours of steady electricity nationwide?STOP LYING. |
Bridget95:LOL.....Really? |

Jack005:You're wrong. Ghana actually has more resources than Nigeria for her population size. She is a major gold and cocoa exporter, and also exports oil and gas. She only has 25 million people, so the people there should have a very high standard of living. Where has all the money gone? And now she's on her knees to the IMF. I can't remember when last Nigeria approached the IMF for assistance. I think it was back in the days of military rule, with Babangida, around 30 years ago!! And we all know the one-size-fits-all IMF solution - structural adjustment programmes which will force Ghana to devalue her currency, and open her economy to even more imports ('trade liberalization' as the IMF calls it) making her economy even more import-dependent and worsening industrial growth and unemployment. |
Jack005:What has Buhari got to do with anything? So because you hate Buhari, you will claim Nigeria is doing worse than it actually is? |
9 Ghanaians smuggle N200m Indian hemp into Nigeria The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Lagos State Command, on Monday, paraded nine Ghanaians for allegedly smuggling about 201 bags of Indian hemp (cannabis sativa) valued at N200m into the country. The suspects are Victor Musa, Freeman Gasie, Adotete Joseph, Moses Sottie, Christian Tette, Kabu Okonipa, Stephen Sottie, Daniel Toyokpti and Kabu Natte, all Ghanaians. Parading the suspects at the Command’s headquarters in Ikeja, the state commandant, Edenabu Okoro Eweka, said the suspects were arrested through the support of the Nigerian Navy. He explained that the intelligence-driven operation was done by the marine unit of NSCDC. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/02/9-ghanaians-smuggle-n200m-indian-hemp-into-nigeria/ |
zoedew:I know, but it could get even worse now that their economy is in doldrums. |
I've never seen a country that ''turned to the IMF for help'', and came out smiling in the end. It's typically downhill from there. ![]() |
Crisis-hit Ghana Changes Its Mind and Turns to IMF for Help - Ghana had previously refused to seek IMF help - Hundreds protested in the capital over economic woes - IMF says ready to support, will start talks soon - Ghana's dollar-denominated sovereign bonds rally sharply ACCRA, July 1 (Reuters) - Ghana, one of West Africa's largest economies, will hold formal talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on a support package, the government said on Friday, after hundreds took to the streets to protest against mounting hardship. The cabinet gave its support for the decision at a meeting on Thursday, following a phone conversation between President Nana Akufo-Addo and IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva. Ghana, a gold, cocoa and oil producer, has until now refused to seek IMF support to rescue an economy crippled by the pandemic, rampant inflation and a depreciating currency, despite analysts warning it is close to a debt crisis.. The IMF confirmed Ghana's request for help and said it would start discussions with authorities in the coming weeks.... https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/crisis-hit-ghana-changes-its-mind-turns-imf-help-2022-07-01/ |
zoedew:True. Soon we may see those frustrated Ghanaian traders targeting the more prosperous Nigerian merchants in the markets, and blaming them for the economic problems. |
GreatBoss:Things are far cheaper in Nigeria than in Ghana dude. You need to see how expensive things are in Ghana now, even food. Boys are not smiling there at all. |
A dramatic economic downturn in Ghana is turning the once-peaceful nation into a hotbed of furious mass discontent, and angry demonstrations over rising prices and rising unemployment, among other issues. Ghanaians are now emigrating in droves, with Nigeria, the regional economic powerhouse, a favoured destination for many of them.

I WONDER WHEN CANADA WILL DO THE SAME ADVISORY FOR HER NEXT DOOR HELL HOLE AMERICA, WITH ITS 60,000 GUN KILLINGS PER YEAR, PLUS NUMEROUS MASS SHOOTINGS, INCLUDING JUST LAST TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN A MAN ENTERED A NURSERY SCHOOL AND SHOT DEAD 20 CHILDREN AGED 10 YRS. |
Onitsha needs some skyscrapers. |
oluseyiforjesus:USE YOUR DAMN BRAIN. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT ''HAVING OIL''. UAE has 3 times larger oil and gas reserves than Nigeria, exports DOUBLE of Nigeria's amount per day, and has a population of under 10 million. So they can afford to build an airport for 5 billion dollars if they want. NIGERIA CANNOT. |
Topzee109:Shut up, slave. Far better how? Have you been to Pakistan? Where in India have you been? Idiot with slave mentality. That is how you fools end up as slaves in Libya and Lebanon with your 'anywhere is better than Nigeria' dumbass slave mentality. |
gift2xl:My what? Sorry, I do not take kindly to slave mentality. Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. |
gift2xl:How am I fooling myself, you ignorant peabrain? |
gift2xl:Stop being a dumbass slave drowned in self-hatred, asswipe. And tell that to your mate who was thanking the white man for providing Nigeria NO electricity in their nearly 100 year rule!!!! |
gift2xl:You and your ilk never think to ''grow up'' when it comes to putting down your own race and elevating the white man to godlike levels. When someone corrects you by pointing out you're being an idiot and a dunce, you complain. |
Ebubu:Slave. The white man you worship ruled you from 1897 to 1960, exporting your resources yearly, but he did not build you ONE power plant. Your first power plant was Kainji dam, commissioned by the Balewa administration in 1964. So, statistically, without independence, you would still be walking around with palm oil lamps today, a stark illiterate, with no wiring in your house, since the colonialists did not build a national grid or public schools. (Which is why your grandpa was a village illiterate, not a banker or lawyer) So think twice before playing happy slave to whitey, ya hear, idiatt? |
gift2xl:Actually, IGNORAMUS, the entire system has its own dedicated power plant, and is not reliant on grid supply to function. Plus in private sector involved projects such as this one, there is no issue of ''non-payment of salaries''. So take your negativity and stick it up your asss. Ignorant, perennially disgruntled people. |
everythinggirly:Your dumb head like 'fetish'. The way you let yourself be brainwashed by whites and their religion is just astonishing. Now everything traditional to your land is 'fetish', while the practices that occurred thousands of miles away from you are the 'real thing', including the ritual drinking of the 'blood' of your 'white saviour' at 'communion'. That one is not 'fetish', but pouring gin on the ground to honour your ancestors is 'fetish'. You're an utter disgrace. You and the other colonised, thoughtless, and stupid m.orons who reason like you. |
jesusjnr2020:Colonial brainwashing has destroyed your senses. Disgusting. |
hammermcc:Shut up. ''Those roads'' ARE the norm in Nigeria. There are expressways ALL OVER Nigeria. And they are seeing greater attention and maintenance under this govt. What YOU need to do is get your broke asss around the nation to see what is being done and what has been achieved in infrastructure, instead of sitting in your basement with no clue, typing ignorant, negative rubbish. |
hammermcc:Shut up. What do you know about Nigeria? Small boy typing rubbish. If your parents did not take you around Nigeria to know its level, blame them. Abuja, Nigeria https://gazettengr.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot_20211210-071732_Chrome.jpg https://autoreportng.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Expressway_Web_1.jpg |
lexy20I4:Shut up, mumu. How does the report 'confirm' that ''covid dey'' or''covid no dey''? Can news and truth not be compromised by those who run the media? Ode. |
Every single road in Nigeria, including village roads, will be tarred, just like in the developed world, with sidewalks for pedestrians where required, because of this bold and visionary move to harness our bitumen deposits. Very well done FG! ...........https://content.presentermedia.com/content/animsp/00014000/14560/nigeria_flag_300_wht.gif |
