I have not seen a people as lazy as Ghanaians. All they know is SEX

Its hell to live in a toxic society like naija where ethno-religeous views of its citizens keeps them down. How do you explain that a country with the highest deposit in gas and six producer of oil in the world

can't boast of 2 hours of steady electricity nationwide?

For most folks like you, you do not value what you have until you lose it.

That is why we do not take our successes in Lagos for granted. We Lagosians suffered more than the rest of the country prior to 1999 and it was that our resolve never to allow that kind of suffering happen again in our land that has kept us on our toes in Lagos since 1999 when the amazingly talented Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu took over the rein from Col. Buba Marwa.

Today, our economy in Lagos is bigger than the economy of the whole of Ghana. Amongst our many feats in Lagos is the Lekki deep seaport, conceived 13 years ago by Asiwaju Tinubu, that recieved its first cargo ship this week. This deep seaport is the first in Nigeria and the best in West Africa.
You can draw inspiration from our success story in Lagos

If you are suffering in Nigeria now, it is because you have been outcompeted. You probably waste your time online and on social media.

While you stay online and lament, other young focused ambitious Nigerians are competing for the same opportunities you seek.

Those eventual winners do not have time for nairaland and the social media. They do not even have time for pity or lamentation party.

That you do not know how terrible and worse the Ghaniaians case is alone says a lot about how conversant you are about their state yet very quick to disparage.

Ghana redenominated their old cedis in 2007 by knocking off four zeros and between then and now their new cedis has lost value by over ten times such that one new cedi is an equivalent of 100K old cedis or more!

Thankfully, my late President Yardua stopped Prof. Soludo from that dangerous experiment of redenominating the naira and today naira has not been redenominated. My N100K in 2017 is not today worth N1 or less. I thank God and late HE Yardua for stopping Soludo.

Ghana was one of the countries that the IMF and others cancelled their debts completely unlike Nigeria that had to pay about $18 billion during the Pa Obj era yet today, Ghana is back in so much debt even more than it was before her debts were forgiven.

Between 2020 and last year, it was so bad for Ghana that they ran out of forex and had to be bailed out by IMF with $1 billion and Ghana is not yet out of the woods. Last Ghana inflation number was approximately 30% and still not abating amidst high unemployment and scarcity of goods and foods.


Their Ghana stock exchange is nothing to write home about yet this year 2022 alone, our own Nigeria Stock exchange has broken and exceeded the record it last reached before the 2018 global meltdown, printing money for local investors.
Thank God that CBN under Emefiele blocked the useless fraudulent cryto ponzi, the favorite 'food' of lazy and gullible Nigerian youths, may be by now the fraudsters behind crypto and nfts would have killed the naira and most of the "greater fool" liquidated 80K crypto millionaires would have come from Nigeria!

Ghana struggles to pay us for the energy we export to them and when we closed our border, Ghana was on her knees economically and politically while their effort at frustrating some of our nationals in Ghana also backfired.

Ghana has a bizarre and very primitive business system that forbids a foreigner from registering a business and owning a company in their small country unlike Nigeria where CAC is very liberal.
Watch how many of them will get to Nigeria now and start their own businesses yet we do not discriminate against them. Nigeria is a big brother to Ghana and we have always bailed them out.

Ghanaians are in soup but thank God they have a big brother and a second home in Nigeria. The original and current traditional landowners in their capital are ethnic Yoruba who migrated to Ghana from Ile Ife like a century ago and they have since traced back their origin to Ile Ife where Ooni assured them that they will always be welcomed back home.

So while the Yoruba in Nigeria are doing well there are things the descendants of Yoruba in Ghana are not doing well but can always rediscover and get back on their feet.

Nigeria is a safe haven for Ghanaians and Nigeria is far far ahead of Ghana.

Bridget95:
Thumps up bro,your write up is educating unlike some fools on this forum who write ethno- religious bigoted stuff here

Quintopia:


Things are far cheaper in Nigeria than in Ghana dude.

You need to see how expensive things are in Ghana now, even food.

Boys are not smiling there at all.

JASONjnr:



The impression you have about Nigeria is extreme and it can only mean that you do not appreciate what you have.


Nigerians are hustlers, bad or good government, Nigerians will always strive....

Ghanaians are lazy and they always hope and wait on the government to do everything for them. They don't want to suffer...

They have constant power supply but can't make anything good out of it.

Give Kano or Kaduna Abia state or Anambra or Lagos or Ogun states 20hours constant power supply daily and you will see development all round the country

Assetinvestor:
I agree with you. Things are usually cheaper in Nigeria than Ghana. Nigerians living in Ghana always buy things in Nigeria. So if inflation is now very high there then there is serious cause for concern.

However, if only Nigeria's economy is doing well, it will have positive ripple effect on the rest of West Africa but when it isn't, it also has a net negative effect on them.

More reasons we need Peter Obi now to help us take back naija from criminals killing our economy and Ghanaians as well as other ECOWAS countries should be praying for us, knowing their destiny is also partly attached to ours.

Quintopia:


You're wrong. Ghana actually has more resources than Nigeria for her population size. She is a major gold and cocoa exporter, and also exports oil and gas. She only has 25 million people, so the people there should have a very high standard of living. Where has all the money gone? And now she's on her knees to the IMF. I can't remember when last Nigeria approached the IMF for assistance. I think it was back in the days of military rule, with Babangida, around 30 years ago!!

And we all know the one-size-fits-all IMF solution - structural adjustment programmes which will force Ghana to devalue her currency, and open her economy to even more imports ('trade liberalization' as the IMF calls it) making her economy even more import-dependent and worsening industrial growth and unemployment.

SmartPolician:
Countries need people who understand Economics to run them now. If we make the mistake of not voting for Peter Obi, $1 to #600 will be a joke by the end of 2023. It may go beyond 1,500 per USD by that time. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

A dramatic economic downturn in Ghana is turning the once-peaceful nation into a hotbed of furious mass discontent, and angry demonstrations over rising prices and rising unemployment, among other issues.

Ghanaians are now emigrating in droves, with Nigeria, the regional economic powerhouse, a favoured destination for many of them.

Protests Over Economic Woes Enter Second Day in Ghana

Frustration has grown in recent months as Ghanaians bear the brunt of rampant inflation amid government efforts to redress the economy.



Demonstrators in Ghana’s capital have gathered for a second day of protests against spiralling inflation and other economic woes after the first day ended in clashes with police and 29 arrests.

Wednesday’s protests kicked off at about noon GMT amid a heavy police presence.

Hundreds had taken to the streets on Tuesday to denounce price hikes, a tax on electronic payments and other levies amid an economic downturn.

Police dispersed the authorised march with tear gas and water cannon after demonstrators turned violent and wounded a dozen officers, according to a statement.

They arrested 29 demonstrators for “attacks and damage to public property” and were reviewing footage of the event to identify more participants.

A senior member of the local “Arise Ghana” lobby group that organised the protest, Sammy Gyamfi, told Reuters that police had agreed to provide security for demonstrations on the second day.

The police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Ghana, one of West Africa’s largest economies and the continent’s second-biggest gold producer, saw growth slow to 3.3 percent year on year in the first quarter of 2022 and inflation hit a record of 27.6 percent in May.

Frustration has grown in recent months as Ghanaians bear the brunt of rampant inflation amid government efforts to redress the economy, reappreciate the local currency and avoid a debt crisis....

Last August, citizens also took to the streets in a protest demanding accountability and good governance. The protests went viral on social media under the #fixthecountry hashtag, which is being used again for this week’s demonstrations.

It is more expensive to live in Ghana than in Nigeria. Nigeria is one of the cheapest African countries to actually inhabit.

What has Buhari got to do with anything?

So because you hate Buhari, you will claim Nigeria is doing worse than it actually is?

NaMe4:


You further strengthened his point.

How would they survive in the typical Nigerian environment with lack of basic infrastructure to start with?

Axis313:

And it is that Structural Adjustment Programme that is still affecting Nigeria till today,anything IMF touches turn to dust.They know what they are doing,you approach them for help,but instead of helping you,they triple your problem for you.
