This is a good point that would be valid if it does not ignore the fact that in an economic regional bloc like ECOWAS ( you can consult the rulebook of ECOWAS if you want) member nations must attempt to make it easier, not more difficult, for other member nations to do business within its terrain !!! What is the point of ECOWAS if Ghana will treat businessmen from its fellow member nation worse than it would treat businessmen from Lebanon? The UK may have no problem blocking the entrance of Nigerian goods into its market but it will not practice such barefaced protectionism against Germany because , as members of the same economic regional bloc, the UK knows it will quickly be called to order for such a flagrant disregard of EU rules. Look, lets be honest, Nigerians are only crying ecowas ecowas cus it suits their purposes in this discussion. If the tables were turned,, you can bet the overwhelming consensus will be 'which ecowas?' We in Ghana are not going to put our economy and social systems under unnecessary strain because of an organization like ecowas. what is ecowas? what has ghana benefitted from ecowas. When i questioned the suitability of ecowas earlier, i wasn't questioning the wisdom in forming trade blocs, I was questioning the practicability of Ecowas specifically. Despite it's name, Ecowas was never really meant to serve an economic purpose. Ecowas' chief purpose was peace-keeping, and to facilitate movement of West African citizens escaping War in their own countries. GHana has benefitted nowt from ecowas. All we do is send our soldiers to die in peace keeping missions. That is what ecowas means to the ordinary ghanaian on the street when they hear the world. The francophones do their own thing. Nigeria only plays by the rules when it suits her, and Liberia and Sierra Leone only contribute refugees (not so much lately). Why should we be bound by this organization. Ecowas serves no purpose ordinary bilateral agreements couldn't accomplish. It's time to get back to the drawing table if we want economic integration. You can't compare Ecowas to the EU. Just can't. It makes every sense to set minimum standards for foreigners hoping to do business in your country. Why don't the western countries allow anybody who wants to move into their countries? Free movement of people is part of the Universal declaration of Human rights. So why do we still need visas then? When you are dealing with a country whose population outnumber yours by 500%, you don't open your borders freely. Especially when it's a country whose systems are currently not working and majority of its population may be looking for a way out if not now in the near future. Check America (the flag-bearer of free trade)'s foreign policy when it comes to China. |

Abeg make una leave Ghana mehn, I'm Naija and yet I feel for them. A country of 20 million will always feel threatened by an imposing 150 million strong economic behemoth just close to its borders. Like someone said above we could quite literally swallow them up without noticing. But they would notice. ![]() ![]() |

ROSSIKE: I think we need to pay more attention to how to make our leaders get real and come into the real world and stop being a jackass. Ghana is not a threat to Nigeria at all and never will be, but it is a wake up call that Nigeria needs to do something for it to be back on the map of good things and not for fraud and corruptive leadership |

Oh boy!!! Instead of considering the possible reasons why Ghana may have chosen this route, people are going on and on about some imagined NIGERIA-GHANA rivalry. OOga ooo!! |

Well said, but i hope nigerian govt will see what is happening and make our own nation better, and probably learn how to protect nigeria and the economy to the advantage of nigerians. |
Re: Ghana's Plan To Chase Out Nigerians - Classifies Ecowas Citizens As Expertrates by Gbawe: 3:59am On Oct 09, 2009 |
Many folks dont see the big picture. For most , and in consonant with how we tend to be visceral in Africa , "Ghana can do what it wants and if Nigeria is unhappy they too can retaliate in kind" . Sadly that type of thinking is stoking the fire of what is already spilling over into xenophobic attacks plus crude and panic-led protectionist actions . Without cool heads the next phase will be one we will all regret. This situation appears set to worsen because the Government of both nations , rather than be decisive in arresting a degenerating situation, prefer to stoke the embers of what may become a raging fire. While the Ghana investment promotion council busies itself with conjuring ways of harrassing Nigerian businesses alone Nigerian Ministers and political leaders, perhaps out of frustration at their own cluelessness, are busy taunting Ghana ungraciously with disparaging utterances . If we see large scale South-Africa type xenophobic attacks in either Nigeria or Ghana then it will be 'par for the course' considering how enough condemnation is not coming from both sides as per the incendiary actions and utterances we have seen of late from both nations. The article below has an overt bias in favour of Nigeria but its content , many of which we can all confirm the truthfulness of , should worry sensible folks. http://www.businessdayonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4971:ghanaians-must-grow-up-or-else&catid=96:columnists&Itemid=350 Ghanaians must grow up, or else… |

Gbawe: i bet most of our unlawful makers ave no clue what this will mean, and what the effect will be on the citizens they are making law for, Nigeria has nver been a nation that provide for the people, it is always about them and what they can make and steal. Like i said, i hope this will wake them up and make them to protect Nigerians and make decisions that will favour us. |
Re: Ghana's Plan To Chase Out Nigerians - Classifies Ecowas Citizens As Expertrates by Gbawe: 4:30am On Oct 09, 2009 |
Fhemmmy: My brother , what are we seeing now that history has not slapped us with in the past? From the numerous responses on this and other forums it is obvious we have clearly learnt nothing from the past !!! Post independence it was Ghana that first expelled 'aliens' . Nigeria followed suit not too long in the future. On both occasions the signs of disaffection and frustrations with the 'aliens' were obvious. Many reasonable individals on both sides , and as per both 'alien' expulsion excercise, would have spoken against the wrongful and intolerant actions that needed to be curbed to avert the ugliness and enmity xenophobic angst can bring . Clearly they were ignored by those who argued in the past (as is being done today) that Ghana/Nigeria is "doing what it has to do". Till today both Nations have not been able to move on from the rancours of past 'injustice'. With the abundance of pugnaciousness , fueled by amnesia, from both side and a distinct dearth of commonsense everywhere it is becoming obvious we are heading for dejavu. |

i can't blame ghana; they are only trying to protect their economy, because they know that if foreigners like nigerians are not checked they may corrupt and spoil ghana like nigeria. if it pains nigeria then nigeria should put things in order here and see if ghana would not be begging nigerians to even pay them a visit atleast, not to talk of coming to do biz there. if it really border our leaders they will take a positive step to make the nigerian economy better. |

And the xenophobia continues - This move by Ghana is self-serving and purely Anti-Ecowas cos it breaches the ECOWAS charter and protocol. The Nigerian Government should come out and condemn this move in the strongest terms. |

Re: Ghana's Plan To Chase Out Nigerians - Classifies Ecowas Citizens As Expertrates by aquita(m): 8:50am On Oct 09, 2009 |
Let us leave Ghana alone. No be dem kobalise us. We only need to do our homework and get things right. Ghana is conducive for investments. We can`t blame the investors trooping to Ghana and we can`t blame the Ghanaian government for trying to protect their own. Like Yoruba people will say : ti idi ba baje toni idi lo ma da (meaning if nyansh spoil na the owner of the nyansh go suffer the consequences). However, Ghana is still a member of ECOWAS and they should obey all treaties. |

semid4lyfe: My brother , leave folks be. Let them continue to ignore what is patently wrong in the spirit of "anything done to Nigerians is acceptable because they are bad people". Someone even ridiculously submitted above that Ghanaians are good people as if Nigerians are not !!!! Many Nigerians have now been brainwashed into hating themselves enough to think we are deserving of whatever is done against us - however unjust !!!!! Since all we do is leave our Country to spoil that of others and engage in 419 alone , why should the world not decide to invade Nigeria, gas us and put us out of our misery? That would probably please self-loathing Nigerians , many who now carry non-Nigerian Passports, because they believe we should not be accorded civility granted everyone else . This is not about Ghana "trying to regulate its business enviroment". There are numerous ways they can do that which will not include a less than transparent attempt to target a particular "trouble maker" nation. Only Nigerian businesses have been closed forcefully till today because of the non-payment of an 'emergency' levy amounting to $350,000 !!! No Ghanaians member of this forum , or their Nigerian apologists , have attempted to speak about this crassly protectionist and distasteful act targeted at Nigerians alone !!!! Since Nigeria is down now everyone should feel free to kick her in the head . They can be rest assured that many Nigerians will support their unjust behaviour against Nigerians. |

Ghana is getting everything wrong here. They don't even know the meaning of ECOWAS. The sooner they realize that selfish interests ends in futility, the better for them. Well, now we understand that these Ghanians are beginning to be so rude like the South Africans. |

Well, now we understand that these Ghanians are beginning to be so rude like the South Africans. @slimes, no, u are rather the one getting it wrong here. a bag is tagged, "Ghana Must Go" and if we go back to the root of that name, we will agree that there is nothing wrong in getting another bag with such tag as " nigeria must go". one good turn they say deserves another. as a man prepares his bed, so shall he lie on it. i see beyond ghanians chassing nigerians out of their country, benin, togo and cote d'ivoire will soon follow suit. their leaders have made their country ok for their citizens so nigerians must learn to come back and die in their own country. |

Now you are beginning to sound pitiable my friend, Nigeria is not down, there are just too many bad things being done by Nigerians in Nigeria. Just clean up. Nigeria is lucky to be endowed with natural resources especially oil which many countries don't have and that is the difference. It's too low to be whining when you have a golden spoon in your mouth. It's not like Nigeria worked hard from bottom up to create the wealth it has, it just woke up one day to find itself in the midst of wealth. Just use it wisely, how difficult can this be? The question you must be asking is, why is Ghana hiking this investment seed money to 300.000 or what ever? Ghana needs investors and that does not mean they should close their eyes to all things which could possibly create problems for their economy. Nigeria is not being targeted in any way, this law applies to all foreign investors. What you guys don’t realize is how this situation goes a long way to arrest xenophobic. If there is no any form of regulation and petty investors come to choke the small Ghanaian economic system, that is when you will know what xenophobic is. |

Half wits like you always think Nigeria is the center of the world, my ass. |
