DarkJeddi:


We have a Market MANY TIMES the size of Ghana,

The $80M you receive from trade with Nigeria is worth more to your economy than the $159M we receive from you..

I know it's hard to swallow,

But in the grand scheme of things..

Ghana is a minor League player..

mofedamijo:


lol, you have no idea how proximity and economics works, no single idea. First and foremost, Goods produced in NIgeria are cheaper than their foriegn counterparts, examples are grocery products, secondly, cost of production and cost of is different from total cost of delivery. Total Delivered Cost (TDC) is the amount of money it takes for a company to manufacture and deliver a product. thirdly, Ghana will never ever feed Lagos state, let alone Nigeria, take that crap out of your head, just because we have a problem doesn't mean Ghana will feed Lagos.

GDP in Nigeria is expected to be 500.00 USD Billion by the end of this quarter.
GDP in Ghana is expected to be 66.00 USD Billion by the end of this quarter.

Go and read on what Ghana relies on Nigeria for.

Nanatrendy:
when it comes to refined foods and drinks that of Egypt, SA, america and china are cheaper and of better quality than nigeria and when it comes to fresh foods you don't even stand a chance for that because we have more farmers and in case we run shot ivory coast and Burkina faso are more reliable than you, a country that can face shortage of fresh tomatoes,The point is whatever you bring into Ghana can be obtained from elsewhere if not the same price even cheaper, most of those things are locally produced too. Stop beating your chest about nothing, others can easily feed that need.

ba7man:
What does Nigeria gain from Ghana??

We have states in Nigeria with bigger economy than the whole Ghana.

PetroDollax:
Fuckeduppedness bla bla bla Nigeria has produced multiple billionaires,huh? and yet your country is a sh1thole? the capital of world poverty?

psychologygh:
listen my sister,Nigeria does not affect us in ANY WAY.They are highly insignificant to Ghana's 65 billion dollar economy. An Economic dependence is when a country buys billions or hundreds of millions of dollars worth our products thus when that country says "No,I won't buy your products again",then you're in trouble.All our buyers are in Asia and Europe.Nigrria only buys 80 million dollars of our exports out of the 17.1 billion dollars that Ghana exports.That 80 million dollars is less than 0.5% of our exports.Nigeria can die now,Ghana will never feel it buh rather benefit just like we benefited from diverted investments when they went on recession since 2015.Ghana now overtakes them in Foreign Direct Investments in 2018.Our only issue is few of our trucks which got stuck at their border due to their failure to announce the close of their borders.Those goods over there is not even worth 0.3% of our total exports. We rather help them by buying their cements and smuggled goods into Ghana worth 159 million dollars. They're nothing to us.

Nanatrendy:
it's annoying because it's coming from a country that gains more from us than we gain from them parasites for that matter, for that minister to be diplomatic about it is even more annoying but well it only shows which one of us is civilised and little wonder investors prefer doing business with us than you, you just do things as if there's no sensible person in your government.

mofedamijo:


You can't even make simple economic stands, go and do your reseach about world poverty headquaters, adn do your research about the poorest countries in the world.

Kennyswagz1:
what are the things that Ghana exports to nigeria

PetroDollax:
You need to get yourself properly educated. It is well documented and widely reported that Nigeria has taken over from India as the poverty headquarters of the world there are more poor people in Nigeria than in any other country in the world go and do your research Fuckeduppedness

BlackLaw:

Stupid much eh?
First of all, you need to get rid of whatever source that pegs your GDP at 65 billion dollars. It is 50 billion dollars (nominal GDP). To avoid the unnecessary b.s lets go with your 65 billion dollars.
Secondly, you obviously don't know much to not know that Lagos' estimated GDP has been pegged at 136 billion dollars (nominal GDP) by the IMF.
Thirdly and most importantly, you left out tge fact that Nigeria's GDP PP is 1.169 TRILLION DOLLARS!
Finally, you want me to be ashamed of importing everything when you import more from me than i from you..
Cheers!

vaxx2:
Very ignorant and ill educated rebuttal.

The most productive seaport in west africa is Togo seaport. dwarfing apapa sea port by a size margin . wherever you are educated. Ghana recently expand its seaport to be the deepest seaport in west africa hence overtaking any sea port in west africa by size and deep lenght ( it cost the nation two billon dollar and. more ) You need to wait and see the next year statistics. the port will be fully completed by 2020. the first phase is already open for buisness.

Getting alternative market is simple. my idiot friend . bigger goods are channelled thru sea and air. Ghana airport was recently adjudged as the most efficient airport in west africa . it has double its capacity by 6.5 percent just this year alone . this is a further prove that Ghana can channelled its market elsewhere. the country is engaging Columbia, China and many more for new buisness opportunity. what Ghana needs is to sell valuable market not market base on size. Nigeria market is not matured for luxurious goods . hence is not a force. south africa is the only country for that in africa. Ghana economy is hugely depended on Gold . ( Nigeria market can't buy that) .

just like I said, Ghana has taking diplomatic assignment. don't expect her to fight back. that will be childish. she is the secretariat of Africa free buisness trade..



this is the latest news incase you are outdated...


Hapag-Lloyd declares Tema(Ghana) Port as transhipment hub in West Africa


The Hapag-Lloyd, a global shipping giant, has declared Meridian Port Services Limited (MPS) Terminal 3 at Tema Port as its transhipment hub in West Africa.

A statement signed by Mr Mohamed Samara, the Chief Executive Officer of MPS, and copied to the Ghana News Agency, said this was revealed at a press conference held in Cape Town, South Africa to announce the launching of the new shipping service for Africa.

The statement said the new shipping service dubbed Middle East-India-Africa Express (MIAX), announced in a press conference in Cape Town, South Africa, had its first departure in this October.

It said the first departure of the MIAX would follow port rotation as follows: “Jebel Ali - Mundra - Nhava Sheva - Colombo - La Réunion - Durban - Cape Town then direct to Tema (as first port of call in West Africa) followed by Lagos (Tincan and Apapa) then back to Cape Town - Durban - Jebel Ali.”

Mr Samara said in the statement that with this port development, Ghana’s Liner Shipping Connectivity would improve significantly.

It said the improvement would result in transport costs reduction, increased trade volume for Ghana importers and exporters through the enhanced connectivity to regional and global markets.

The statement said the MPS Terminal 3 increased Tema Port’s capacity in terms of container storage, reefer facility, handling equipment and the best of the world’s technology to aid its operations as a Transshipment Hub.

It quoted Mr Dheeraj Bhatia, the Senior Managing Director of Hapag-Lloyd’s Middle East Region, as saying that: “With the new MIAX service, our customers will now benefit from an even wider range of fast and flexible direct connections.”

Mrs Sandra Opoku, the Director of the Tema Port, said the announcement was welcome news and that it was long overdue considering the developments being undertaken by the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) with its partners.

She said the GPHA is strengthening its position as a hub port through the development of the other cargo flows within Terminal One and Two (General Cargo, Break Bulk and liquid) to complement the growth in its container traffic.

Mrs Opoku said the development would solidify the Tema Port’s spot in the maritime industry adding that “GPHA will continue to call for investment into port infrastructure to match changing world trends and draw more global trade to Africa”.

Mr Peter Mac Manu, the Board Chairman of the GHPA, said that the decision by Hapag- Lloyd to concentrate its West African shipping service in Tema is an evidence of how much the Tema Port played a key role in the new phase of Africa’s economic transformation.

Nairaland is to Ghanaians what oxygen is to life.

Nanatrendy:
you can even decide to build a wall around your country just make sure you stay inside. We don't care about you closing ur borders you have the right to do so, but you need to go about it the right way, give prior notice so nobody's goods become stranded at ur border besides most of those business
men are ur own country men and the thing is there are more nigerian goods in ghana than the other way round so if we retaliate I don't think you would be smiling, but like a popular saying we have in ghana 'God is likely to be ghanaian than nigerian' so we will keep having mercy on you for the time being.

ba7man:
You're really trying hard to appear happy but you've been wailing all over this thread.
