We Are Angry Nigerians Took Over Our Retail Business, They Must Go — Ghanaian Traders

The Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) at Kasoa in the Central region has threatened to close down shops of foreign nationals, especially Nigerians, engaged in retail business.

The group said the invasion of foreigners in retail business had made their businesses to collapse.

General Secretary of GUTA at Kasoa, Bright Agyemang, who spoke to a section of the media, expressed worry over the government's inability to enforce the laws on foreign businesses in Ghana.

In a report by Ghanaweb, he said members of the association are furious and becoming impatient towards the continuous invasion of foreigners in the retail business.

Agyemang urged the government to address the issue to avoid it from degenerating.

He said: "The foreigners have taken over our market that is why GUTA is complaining. They have taken over all across the country but as it is now, Kasoa is the strongest area for these foreigners.

"So, we are praying to the government to come to our aid.

"The law says a foreigner cannot do retail except Ghanaians but the foreigners are doing retail in our markets and so we will close their shops. We will use the law; we will enforce the law to close their shops."

For years, GUTA and some foreign nationals, especially Nigerians, have been at war over retail trade in the country. Last year, members of GUTA forcibly locked up some foreign-owned shops in Greater Accra and Kumasi in the Ashanti region.

The trade war led to a high-powered delegation flying from Nigeria to Ghana to meet parliament over the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) law that prevents foreigners from engaging in the retail business.

The National President of Nigerian Union of Traders Association, Ghana (NUTAG), Chukwuemeka Nnaji, said, "The ECOWAS protocol gives all citizens of member states equal rights to do business, reside and establish a business in each member state."

ASHANTI ARE KNOWN TROUBLE MAKERS IN GHANA.

I AM HAPPY THEY HAVE ADDED THEIR TRIBAL NAME TO XENOPHOBIA.


TALKING NONSENSE AS ALWAYS.

More Nigerians need to set up shops in West African Countries. If they fight you, fight them back. If they kill you, kill them back. No more cowardice.

I wish Nigeria is the USA of Africa...
You can't try such shit with us... To hell with Ghana..





Thread seen..

Why won't Nigerian owned SME's overflow other countries when our own country can't even allow those businesses to flourish.

brother no be force to stay for another man land, remember Nigeria did same to them some years back,

See Ghana? When visionary leaders saddled the affairs of this great nation in 60s and 70s Ghanaians came here as beggars. But today Buhari has made Nigerians everywhere to be fugitives even in their own country

Kanu should send ESN/UGM there.

On a more serious note. 98% of traders there are igbos. So Ghana is chasing us, kanu is creating enemity with the North, and UGM is setting igboland on fire.

Wrong headline.
news says Nigerians should leave retail business in Ghana.

I do not think I would want people who call their own country a zoo to come to my country, to be honest.

First, if they call their own country a zoo the people must be animals even if they do not know it, and animals, wild ones especially, should remain in their cage and not come to my own country to turn it into a zoo like they did to their own country.

Besides, if those who call their own country a zoo are constantly attacking each other from different tribes, will they not come to my own country and be attacking my different to them country people?

Yes, if I was Ghanaian I will want irresponsible animals to stay in their zoo and not come and turn my Ghana into a zoo like they irresponsibly do to their own country Nigeria without ever admitting responsiblity, so I will not ask you to go back to your zoo, I will hunt animal down, put animal in a cage, and fly animal back to its zoo where animal belongs!

Thankfully, not all Nigerians call my country Nigeria a zoo.

DONT WE HAVE GHANIANS HERE IN NIGERIA.


LAS, LAS, I FORSEE NIGERIA AND GHANA NOT HAVING ANY DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS.



I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITS LIKE GHANIANS.



GHANIANS ARE IN LIBERIA, IVORY COAST, UK, EUROPE, US, CHINA, YET EVERY MINUTE THEY WILL BE TALKING LIKE ALL GHANIANS LIVE IN GHANA.



THE LITTLE NIGERIANS IN GHANA NEED TO RETURN AND GHANAIANS IN NIGERIA NEED TO GO BACK TO GHANA.


THEY SHOULD TAKE THEIR EMBASSY WITH THEM.

Let them deport those who are not ready to abide by Ghana law

I stand with Ghana

WITH THE WAY GHANAIANS TALK, U WILL THINK THEY ARE PAYING NIGERIANS THERE BENEFITS.

GHANAIANS GO TO OTHER PEOPLE COUNTRY AND THEY RUN THEIR BUSINESS, YET THEY DONT WANT PEOPLE TO RUN BUSINESS IN GHANA.

AND THIS IS WAT WE ARE DISCUSSING WITH THEM?


ARE WE NOT FOOLISH?


LET THE GHANIANS IN NIGERIA GO BACK HOME AND NIGERIANS IN GHANA RETURN BACK TO NIGERIA.


NIGERIA SHOULD SHUT DOWN ITS EMBASSY AND LET EVERYBDOTY RETURN BACK TO NIGERIA.


THE INSULT IS NOW BECOMING UNBEARABLE.


I MEAN LAST TIME THEY DEMOLISHED THE NIGERIA EMBASSY.


GHANA EMBASSY IN NIGERIA SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN PERMANENTLY.

Where did you get the statistics from? When did Igbo people start traveling to Ghana?

Ever heard about Mokola market in Ghana?

Chai!
Ala igbo go jam pass Noah's Arc.

Little by little the way egungun take dey entre express, we might find Igbos seeking refuge in the Northeast.

Lol. When u visit Ghana you will be shocked. From circle, to accra to kaneshi spare parts market to mokola, opera square. They are all igbos.

Everything you see traders complain about Ghana locking their shops, are they yoruba or igbos?

You have not answered my question...

It get why

You see what I mean? Why would Ghana want people who are "constant banging on about IPOB and ESN" and Fulani and my brown roof coming to constant bang on in their Ghana? Or does anyone want to argue that as many do at home is not how they will be doing in Ghana?

When una fix yourselves finish please come to my Ghana, is what I would tell such people. In the meantime, please stay in your self named zoo until you evolve from behaving as animals!

Its not by question. Yorubas to Ghana buy fabrics and sell and return. Igbos have shops in the markets.

Forget the name mokola market. When you enter the market you will understand. All those shops they lock are owned by igbos. Yorubas hardly have shops there. They come and buy and go.

Go to circle GSM market. Go to kaneshi market, go to opera. You will see 1000 igbo shops before you will see a yoruba.

Same goes to togo. From Asie market to Asigami market. Even togolese learn igbo because of the market.

LoL...

So how long have the likes of Dele Momodu with their businesses been in Ghana?

Reason why I asked when Igbo people start to travel to Ghana is because those electronics shop, circle gsm are not even existing in Ghana as far back as 2010..

I don't do tribal Tom and di.ck measuring.. If you hear established Yorubas in Ghana, Real Estate, Banking and Finance, Entertainment, Transport, Stationery books..

Abegi abegi

Ha. How is magazine business improving Ghana Economy. I don route container to Ghana as far back as 2003.

Banking and finance, no be business people dey bank there? When did these Nigerian banks enter Ghana? Its not been up to 15 years.

I can say that 60% of containers that arrive ghana ports are igbos. I know when it was only about 3 igbos that brought container in opera markt. Before about 10 Ghanaians contributed to bring one. And later asked igbos to leave the market for them.

Even Ghanaians go to togo to buy goods from igbos that import there and sell in Ghana.

If Igbo's were not in togo, the road to aflao would be deserted.

When it comes to trade forget. I pity Ghanaians when i visit their markets. The shops have become too expensive for them to afford because of the igbos.

If igbos are to exit Ghana, those Nigerian banks will have to leave with them.

For how many years. ACCRA just had about 2 branches of Ghana commercial bank and stanchart.

Real estate. Go to EAST LEGON and count student hostels owned by igbos there.

I know ABC was the first road transport comapny from Nigeria to Ghana. Before GUO and the rest.

Now airpeace by air.

Its not about magazine.

No. We need to build up our country to a point where we cant be disrespected anyhow. Can they try such with China? no

They are only scared about Nigerians taking over the whole country.

They stay in Nigeria na fight them dey fight, they talk say everybody hate them

Them travel go ghana they fight people for ghana, ghana talk say make them leave their market them talk no, say them must fight.

Them travel go south Africa, south Africa talk say them dey sell drugs for their pikin, them carry xenophobic cane wipe them, them talk say south Africa hate them.

What's the population of igbo in Ghana compared to Yoruba?

Do you know how many rooted Yoruba's in Ghana ..

Those spare parts you are talking about,did you know when Yoruba's started spare part business in Ghana cos I have a family friend who their father is a big spare part seller as far back as 1980.

Don't talk what you don't know

Defamation. The Asante were not the one that lock your shops in circle, Accra. The day Tamale people go start with una ehn. I dey pity una in advance.

The loud mouth irritants have gone to Ghana to spread hatred as usual.. you'll hear them saying Ghanians are lazy, Ghanians can't compete, Ghana is no man's land bla bla bla.

If you can't live peacefully and respect your host, you'll get kicked out. No two ways about it.
