SmartPolician: Peter Obi won't change anything.... Unless he is willing to remove fuel and electricity subsides so as to open them to investment and growth, and free up money for other things and really fight corruption... But most of you his supporters don't want the power and petroleum sectors setting their prices. 4 Likes |

SmartPolician: Same to you. P.S : I have no candidate, but I don't want to see LP,PDP, APC, NNPP or SDP in power again. PPS I stand by my post. I am tired of hearing candidates like your Obi and their Tinubu and Atiku who bring in vague promises, no specifics. You want a strong naira, YET, ye do not tell us how you would do it. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Those saying the living standard of nigeria is better than Ghana are actually lying to themselves, Nigeria with her huge deposit of oil and natural resources cannot boast of 24hrs electricity or energy atleast Ghanaians are protesting which shows their level of civility and understanding of their nation's economy and not Nigeria which is filled with bunch of population with low IQ and poor understanding of economy and used to suffering and smiling. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Ghanaians should take it easy. The economic downturn is everywhere in the world right now. There are riots and protests from Peru to Pakistan to Ecuador and workers strikes in France and even people in America and the U.K. are grumbling about hike in the prices of everything. They should manage like the rest of the world and not use unrest scatter their small country. 2 Likes 1 Share |

JokwaNwannem: We did protest (ENDSARS anyone?, 2011 subsidy and occupy Nigeria protests) but at the end of the day, nothing changed(the elite ended up coopting both protests smartly). Ditto Ghana. At the end, change involves a radical changing of the economy, where there is a risk of things getting worse before they get better. Ghanaians, Nigerians, and other African countries don't want to do that...too politically expensive. 1 Like |

Subsidywise20:Everyone has to. That is the difference between people in developed and underdeveloped countries. It's very rare for people in Germany, France, U.S to protest about economic downturn and destroy public properties or do it in a way that will hurt the economy. |
Re: Ghana Protests Over Inflation by Nobody: 9:34am On Jul 02, 2022 |
Okoroawusa: Ha, but they have done so in the recent past. Also, for now, the welfare net is holding well in those countries. But for how long. High oil prices, if they last longer than usual could lead to some issues eventually. 3 Likes |

SmartPolician: Why would I know about a region that is so tribalistic that less than 3% of the population are non-Igbos. Obi your god of economics was so good that non-indigenous investment from the state is 0%. Talking of producing economy, the only thing Anambra produces is beer. And that beer is sold in the East alone. Yes but you know about Lagos and Ogun state as there are nothing less than 3 million Igbos there. 1 Like |

Subsidywise20: I have come to the ultimate realization that subsidy has to be totally removed at least on the petroleum sectors and power sectors. Then food production should be improved then it is removed from food. 1 Like |

What has been saving Nigeria from experiencing a total collapse of the Nigerian economy are: 1.) Millions of Nigerians living abroad labouring morning, afternoon and night to make money in foreign currencies which they send back to their relatives in Nigeria to help them build, invest and even save. Nigerians in diaspora have been one of Nigeria's saving grace. And who are the majority of Nigerians in diaspora? Number 1 are Igbos, followed by Yorubas then Bini people and then others. 2.) Yahoo Boys In as much as we all hate them for painting Nigeria black before the international community, these guys have saved Nigerian economy from dying. 3.) Talented Nigerians Working Legitimately Online On Foreign Platforms as Freelancers! Freelancers are helping to savage Nigerian economy from collapse. These guys bring back good FOREX. They also create jobs for the massive number of unemployed Nigerian youths 5 Likes 1 Share |

Jack005:True. Ghana doesn't have what Nigeria has but they have enough prospect to be great. Even with their self acclaimed 24/7 power they're still like this.. They can't manage their small population. The are the second produce in gold, they are oil producing nation but see the mess they're in. Even with their redenomination of currency, their Cedis is getting useless by the day. For Nigeria to be standing till now with our diverse tribe and religion is something. Ghana would never have been able to do that. 5 Likes 1 Share |

NaMe4:The hardworking ones would survive just like how the Igbos and Yorubas and all other hardworking Nigerians who are making in big in this country survives. And also, I thought a certain Candidate said infrastructures doesn't drive an economy. So the Ghanians won't need infrastructures to survive in Nigeria. ![]() |

franchasofficia: A lot of Ghanaians have that benefit too....Ghana has a large diaspora. 2.) Yahoo Boys Ghana has its own version called Sakawa boys (I recall watching a documentary on youtube about their activites.) 3.) Talent Nigerians Working Legitimately Online On Foreign Platforms. Same for Ghanaians. (Google Ghanaian internet freelancers) The Internet is providing jobs worldwide. Ghana and Nigeria are in the same pot of soup. The difference is Nigeria is earning a bit more from oil, and spending trillions of that oil money on petrol subsides...which helps to keep small scale industries stable for now. Remove that,(which i support for many reasons), and short term we would be like the Ghanaians. 1 Like |

Subsidywise20:How can you be comparing Nigeria with Ghana when it comes to diaspora population or freelancer population or even Yahoo? It was Nigerians that exported Yahoo to Ghana, sadly. Nigeria, India, Philippines have the highest population of her citizens living abroad than any other country in the world. Nigerians, especially Igbos are the highest travelers in West Africa, followed by Yorubas and Binis. Crude oil that is looted by individuals such that Nigerian state earn far lesser than what is stolen at the end. Forget crude oil, its mostly benefitting the ruling class, the corrupt military officers, some daring Nigerians and their foreign cohorts. Average Nigerians aren't benefiting anything from the crude oil in Nigeria, but Nigerian diaspora remittances, Yahoo proceeds and freelance income go directly to Nigerian peoples pockets thereby cushioning the economic hardship this evil government has brought upon Nigeria 3 Likes 1 Share |

galantjoe:This type of sound comment can mostly come from an Igbo or Yoruba person. Other Nigerians are just sitting on the fence. The hope of a better Nigeria lies in the hands of Igbos and Yorubas but since Yorubas have sworn never to reciprocate Igbo people's love and support even for once, which has led to unending political tussle, Nigeria will continue to struggle to rise. We all know the right things to do but due to tribal hatred and religious sentiments, we will never accept the truth 1 Like |
