is this country n the man Nigerian hahaha Ghana dumsor dumsor hahaha Minister of Power Dr Kwabena Donkor has vowed to abdicate his position if the current power crisis does not end by January 1, 2016. He says government is frantically taking steps to end the crisis by year-end. Speaking during the inauguration of boards for subsidiary companies of the Volta River Authority (VRA) in Accra on Thursday, Dr Donkor also cautioned the media not to limit government’s intervention in ending the crisis to the arrival of the two power barges from Turkey in September. The power crisis has led to a nationwide load shedding exercise, which many claim is affecting businesses. Government’s resolve to solve the crisis led to the setting up of the Power Ministry with the Pru East Constituency Member of Parliament as the first minister. ADVERTISEMENT Dr Donkor vowed to solve the crisis by 2016. President John Dramani Mahama has vowed to hold Dr Donkor to his words over the promise to end the crisis by January 1. "We will continue to increase the power that is being fed into the system until the gap is eliminated completely by, according to my Power Minister's promise, year's end, for which I have put his neck on the block," President Mahama remarked last month. |

emeka1101:you seem to be wrongly informed. We are far ahead of Ghana in termsf of education & infrastructure. Even the overrated south africa cannot boast of many infrastructurally developed cities like naija. Virtually every state capital in naija has city life besides some others in each state, while s/africa parades mainly joburg, Pretoria & capetown. Kumasi, the second most important city in ghana can't even compare with ibadan talkless of places like kano or ph. Ghana, just like many African countries can only boast of one or two cities, and is at best a rural country. I've visited the country b4 and I must confess that apart from Accra & kumasi, I don't think I can feel comfortable in the rest of the country. 1 Like |

emmasege: The problem with most Nigerians is that many have been cooped up in that country for too long. You'all need to go out and explore and i guarantee you, your perspective will change. I am Nigerian, well, sort of, but there is no way you can compare Nigeria to Ghana. No way at all. I have worked and lived in both countries and comparing them is like comparing apples to oranges. 4 Likes |

iPopAlomo: You are absolutely right on the disclaimer, the list is getting smaller by the day. just last year i went for business inquiry at the Sri Lanka consulate at Dubai and discovered there is some form of ban on Nigerians. 1 Like |

chineloSA: I said some form of ban because it is not so obvious. The lady i met there confided in me that even if i apply the visa online that there is restriction on granting visas to Nigerians, although i believe it could be temporary. Offcourse the fault is not entirely on the Nigerian government, but if they had done what is right and developed our country the level of people travelling abroad will be very minimal and it will be mostly the adventurous and curious ones who will go for either education, tourism, business or work as expats in other countries. But things are bad that even someone who cannot locate the location of Nigeria in the map of Africa or even guess the continents of the world are all travelling out. These less enlightened categories of people are the ones that have spoilt the name of the country more, they are willing to go to anywhere, do anything to make money because money has become the primary source of happiness in the country. You build your own house without any assistance, generate your own electricity, water, security, cater for your children and aged parents welfare and also plan for your own welfare when you are old. Nigeria has failed us? Your name is feminine, and does the SA on it represent South Africa? If yes, considering their phobia for strangers and visitors, how is life over there for ladies? Is it in anyway better than it is for the male? 1 Like |

ugsams: Very sad, but as Nigerians we can only blame ourselves because we vote for the same government that screws us. Yes, I am Nigerian though my family have been in South Africa for quiet a long time. I did my High school and University in South Africa, that really tells you how long we have been here. Honestly speaking when our family got SA, South Africans were not as Xenophobic as they are now. If they were, they were good at hiding it. They would only make fun about how we speak and food but it never amounted to Xenophobia. In fact Nigerian man were a hot things then. South Africans then didnt even know where Nigeria is. Then came bad Nigerians in numbers,  things fell apart. But the nice part about SA is there are ghetto's which were built by the old apartheid government and some new government and there are surburbs which are nice places for middle and high income earners. So if as a foreigner you go live in the ghetto, they you are likely to have been a victim of Xenophobia. But if you live in the suburbs and mind your own business, highly unlikely that you will be a victim of Xenophobia. In business and also jobs you are likely to experience xenophobia, reason being, Nigerians are know for scams so very few business wanna deal with us and also South African government have policies ( BEE ) to boast previously disadvantaged ( apartheid ) locals businesses, so as a foreigner you are the last on the list of their business partners unless you partner with a South African. But if you are a doctor or any other careers educated particularly in South Africa, South Africa is a good place to benefit from your hard labour than Nigeria. It is also still a good African country to get their passport since they still have some respect for their education etc. and their black locals don't travel or migrate alot, so its always easier with a South African passport. With regards to business, small foreign business really contribute but don't grow big because of BEE and the fact that South African are not too receptive to foreign businesses unless you partner with them. Yes Nigerians and other Africans have salons, scrapyards, etc. but its not really big businesses which are ready to compete even within SA with SA businesses of the same kind, let alone spread within SA. So its just family or individual businesses with no clear vision to spread but just a vision to support their families. In South Africa ( black and white )business operate with a vision to operate in all their towns and cities through franschises which has really helped develop their small towns as well, so Nigerian businesses are not at that level. They are just businesses with very little vision. e.g. Shoprite, Mr Price, Steer, Spur, is likely to be in all cities, minor metropoles and even small towns, they are used to making a brand uniform all over by franchising and there are Nigerians who have bought franchises. But I have never seen a foreign owned business started in SA franschising within SA. As a foreign woman with no SA passport or ID or Education, its not easy.But generally with recession, jobs have been scarce and poverty getting worse for locals and hence the locals blame it on foreigners. But right now I am out of South Africa and I work in Saudi Arabia ( using their passport to my advantage  ), but I will go back since my family is based in South Africa. My husband and I have also started building our financial portfolio in South Africa, so we may be in SA for a long time.But don't believe everything by bloggers and journalists, it can be exaggerated. There are so many Educated Nigerians living in South Africa and making it.  and there are so many Nigerians on blogs and social networks who have been to SA by internet but have never left the shores of Nigeria.  1 Like 1 Share |
