But i think nigeria will be hard hit, oil generates more than 60% of nigeria revenue, Nigeria economy is mainly informal, Nigeria was growing average 1%for past years

People in foreign land whos suppose to send money to nigerians are currently struggling now

The later was growing at 6%

Sometimes this growth rate does not really make a difference. seychelles does not grow above 3 percent for the past three year, yet it is more advanced than many nation growing with 8 percent. development is about general well being of the populace just because money is not exchanging hands does not mean the country is doing poorly.

GDP takes the breakdown of the huge economic activity and portrays it as economic gain, forgetting the policy, social intervention, human development as a whole.

if you understand the capacity of what human resources entails, then you will understand why Nigeria can't be judge by oil alone .though its agriculture and mining industry are still much alive .

It's a trend in this thread not to spoon feed people and hobbits alike.

Get your mom nickname again lol

It counts, that's y it wouldn't be a suprise north Korea does not have covid19

But yes reaction was better

it only takes a single person to spread the virus. so it doesn't matter about the size of visitor . the implication here does not even favour the developing nation. in a situation like ours, where most of business activity revolve meeting one and another, the likelihood of having a spread infection become more obvious than advance nation cus most of their business activity can be conducted within the comfort of their home. for example online learning is much more advance up in advance nation than here, buying thru visual market, online office etc....

It's in the public domain vaxx.

then provide it here zombie .

Austine1212:
But we should remember that they receive close to 100m visitors

We receive less, hard comparing a coutry with 700k visitors to one with 80m right?

Credit where it's Due, Ghana, SA n few others reacted better

it isn't a matter of the number of visitor received, it is about stricter measured put in place when the first case was first discover. Ghana for example started reacting just three days after the first reported case. it took USA about two month before it pass any stricter measure. even Italy admit , their first reported case was taken slightly .and that balloon their problem.

Do you know Ghana tested case for the first one month of the virus supersede both Japan, USA, and United kingdom together . we have almost tested 70 thousands case in one month while those advance nation had not in their past six weeks of their first reported case.

Nigeria without oil revenue, tough times

Yes , this is factual truth but it is not going to be bad as what Kenya will face in the midst of locusts invested and covid 19 damage economy. Kenya two most vital economy is seriously hit .' Agriculture and tourism""

rvp20182:
Nigeria can only sell LNG to bankrupt Ghana - whom last I checked couldn't afford to pay for 1B dollars worth of Nigeria gas. They simply refused to pay

Do you stupidly have any evidence Ghana is owing Nigeria 1 billion dollar worth of LNG money? or you just want to sound foolish as usual


now, let me tell you , your agriculture( Your largest stream of revenue) industry is already suffering, just because of this lockdowns, there are tougher restrictions imposed by the importing countries, making exporting a very difficult task if not impossible. no country is currently requesting for your flower and tea. just like how China fish had stopped flourishing Kenya market. due to is strict restriction. your second stream of income revenue is already suffering , I mean tourism. you can't compare yourself with Ghana that has suddenly see surge increasment in the price of cocoa and Gold.

Austine1212:
It reacted more efficiently than us

I can boldly say , Ghana react better than USA and United kingdom on this covid 19 issue.

Ghana is not only leading in per capita testing, it is ranked among the top 20 countries in the world testing for coronavirs in terms of per capita and second only to africa in terms of abosute number

What it simply means is that, Ghana is one of the leading countries in the world embarking on massive testing for COVID-19 as far as country's population and rate of testing is concerned.and they can easily calculate the extent to when the lockdown when will last.

in fact , Ghana has taken more decisive and swifter action than many developed countries in the world did within a month of confirmed cases.

For instance, while it took the United States nearly two months after its first confirmed case to declare a national emergency, the government of Ghana banned all public gathering in Ghana just four days after the confirmation of case.

Ghana's nearly 70,000 tests within a month of its first confirmed case is higher than tests conducted by the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom within six weeks of their first official case.

Area4Area:
You've been told by the Nigerian government to do your worst and the borders remain shut, simple.

Very stupid of you .Give me any news linked to Nigeria goverment official saying that.

Area4Area:
All we are saying is that Ghana should shut her borders against goods from Nigeria and let's go there, locking up some Nigerian owned shops and your police opening them won't affect anything, just shut your airports, seaports and land borders to Nigerians or her goods and let's see

what do you understand about regional trade? Don't quote me foolishly again when it is about poor understanding of basic economics . You think trade is managed simply by emotions?

chrisagyei:
hahaha.Nigerians are very funny.Maybe you people don't understand our economy. Just as your economy can only be crippled by international crude oil prices because your whole economy and exports depends on it thus you going into recession in 2015,the only thing that can cripple Ghana's economy is sharp fall of gold,cocoa and oil prices on the international market. Nigerians doing businesses in Ghana are nuisance whom 2/3 are even informal and evade taxes.They only end up repatrating all their little profits out of the country to their mama's in their village. Why do you think the Ghanaian government made a law to ban foreigners from retailing in Ghana.About your 4 banks or so in Ghana,just this year,the government liquidated and forcefully closed down 15 solid Ghanaians and Nigerian banks in Ghana and nobody including the economy was affected.The workers were given package and laid off.The economy was rather made stronger.The government ended up pumping billions of dollars into the economy. Your petty banks will close and leave and the economy won't even tickle.We're looking for better investments from Asia and the Western countries not Nigeria. Your glo company is almost dead.[b]Even you who leave in Ghana is an illegal immigrant [/b]including all these Nigerians studying in Ghana in unknown private universities without their residence permits. You guys force yourself unto Ghana cos we don't even need your failed naira here.

The problem is, nobody knows him, Nigeria goverment dosnt recognised him neither is he known by Ghanaian authority. he is more or less a nuisance to Nigeria and a liability to Ghana.

Ghana is not interested in petty Nigerians trader, who contribute nothing at all to the economy. Nigerians coming to Ghana should be productive enough to contribute much to the economy.

Ghana is not Eldorado yet for such living .Ghana immigration must strengthen the law now .

AskiaHarem:
YOUUUU accused me of something. I stated I didn't do it. Its know your job as the prosecutor to provide proof of your accusation to the room/Jury. Instead you decided to throw a childish sh1tfit because you don't want to back up your accusations.

Madness

It is time to live you with your chains....

AskiaHarem:
You threw a baseless accusation at me and I simply asked for proof but instead I get mad ramblings in return.

Madness

I'll asked again, where is your PROOF?

You should foolishly do the searching on yourself, You this spamming bot, expecting me to do it, is more or less like staging your madness for you.

AskiaHarem:
Your dodging your own argument. I asked for proof and you immediately went in to defense mode and changed the subject you yourself introduced. Pathetic but predictable of you.

Madness

No one take an idiot seriously. You are simply a simpleton at best or a slowpoke at worse. so expect me reminding you of that.

AskiaHarem:
I never labeled myself Somalian you lying deadbeat sore-loser but your free to go back and screenshot where I did to prove me wrong. Don't worry I'll wait.

Stop trying to hide the reality . And you aren't that important for me to dedicate a search time for ? You are simply an anonymous idiot. as far as i am concern, you never exist apart from been on nairaland. . I see you more or less like a virus or a preventable Trojan horse capable of frustrating nairaland cyber architecture.

AskiaHarem:
Not revenge its envy. Nothing more than Ghanaians being there natural sore-loser selves when there faces with something they can't compete with.

You are the grand idiot here, which make me ignore your comment sometimes. Aren't you a native of Somali anymore , you once labelled yourself a somalian not too long ago on this thread.

I am surprised, no news on nairaland is reporting it. Nigerians shops are under locked in kumasi Ghana as I type. it happens today.. maybe a revenge I don't know but surely not from goverment

samorobo:
I don't know what must have caused it but I do remember just30 labelling it as media propaganda and you attested to it....that is my I went for my specialty

Hahaha you want to spark an argument with your last statement cool story bro

It wasn't just my saying but the consortium of Africa airport watch . so you argue with them

samorobo:
Lol even the most beautiful kotok airport got flooded how much more the city


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qW3ricEbFdc


Take your own advice "Don't be too hard on yourself, it is a global nature revolt"

Even airport in New York has been reported to be flooded

This is not a system breakdown but nature at work....

Anyway that is the fourth best airport in africa and the leading in west africa..

samorobo:
Lol all coastal cities around the world is in trouble #countdownto2050......but what I can't seem to understand is how an inland city like nairobi(mostly at CBD)gets flooded the moment her soil tastes a tiny rain droplet .......poor drainage system I think

It doesn't matter, either coaster or inland, rain can overwhelmed existing drainage infrastructure which will lead to the ground inability to absorb water. no One dare nature

tylann:
he has the guts to lie that abuja does not flood

Even the most beautiful airport in Nigeria ( abuja) got flooded.. ..how much the city.

mtisTheQubit:
Ths folks need to make up their mind..is it Kenya or Ethiopia or Tanzania or Botswana..why not Nigeria or another weird country

The fact remains is , it is africa. which country dosnt matter much....

STFU and try and be patriotic for once instead of always trying to display poor knowledge with half education

You should be able to address the half education as you indicate. you don't make a submission simply becuse you want to correct what you presume as faulty opinion. hope i can engage you ? i hope you arent dump yourself

isthatso:
STFU and try and be patriotic for once instead of always trying to display poor knowledge with half education

You mean I should be patriotic to illiteracy like you , you even called my input poor knolwedge when you can't foolishly rebuked it....

No, China locked it's border for years which forced the Chinese to look inward and develop its own industries. The problem with Nigeria is we dont like short term pain for long term reward.


Any nation with a huge population that wants to truly grow must first develop and give advantage to it's own industries before allowing foreign competition.


When a country like Vietnam is lobbying to open our borders, it tells you how much of their economy and jobs is tied in producing rice for Nigeria. We no get farmers, we no get land?

You people mention China to defend the closure of the border as if China and Nigeria are having the same economic fundamental model or all economic principle are equal in both nation. China was never poorly industrialized like Nigeria, it has history that is over 1000 years old as an empire, only India and Persia has the same historical advantage. China alongside India was once the economy power house of the world and China again is on the track to repeat history again.


When China closes his economy , over 52 billion dollar remittance of Chinese citizens working abroad are flowing in to the economy and this is was the cash used in developing the industrial sector of China. how much those Nigerians working abroad make? when/ where can Nigerians outsource money for his development without working and dealing with other country?

pokuasi:
When is your obsession with NIGERIA going to end?? Your VP can kiss Buhari ass for all we care ..

I think your stupidity has no boundary and it is legendary. it seems you love me tormenting your miserable life.

Bawumia Ghana vice president , India PM, Buhari draw similarities at FII summit in Saudi Arabia

This is London !
So let's not be too hard on ourselves as African .
It is a global nature's revolt !
