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 ![wink](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/wink.png)
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.

Quintopia: Crisis-hit Ghana Changes Its Mind and Turns to IMF for Help
- Ghana had previously refused to seek IMF help - Hundreds protested in the capital over economic woes - IMF says ready to support, will start talks soon - Ghana's dollar-denominated sovereign bonds rally sharply
ACCRA, July 1 (Reuters) - Ghana, one of West Africa's largest economies, will hold formal talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on a support package, the government said on Friday, after hundreds took to the streets to protest against mounting hardship.
The cabinet gave its support for the decision at a meeting on Thursday, following a phone conversation between President Nana Akufo-Addo and IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva.
Ghana, a gold, cocoa and oil producer, has until now refused to seek IMF support to rescue an economy crippled by the pandemic, rampant inflation and a depreciating currency, despite analysts warning it is close to a debt crisis..
The IMF confirmed Ghana's request for help and said it would start discussions with authorities in the coming weeks....

Some of u don’t even know that the level of corruption in Ghana is 2nd to none.
I once read an eye opening article about Ghana’s economy and the corrupt gold/cocoa market of Ghana+the Chinese exploiting Ghana’s huge resources. I was marvelled.
I think if Nigeria doesn’t get things right soonest we may go down with our economy too..Sri Lankan economy has felt it,Ghana is feeling it too. ny country that fails to invest seriously in education/man power development is already doomed. The population of almajiris keep increasing, others are after yahoo and quick money scheme while the few educated want to japa at next flight. What is left? |

Meanwhile Luhansk region, Kherson Region, parts of Kharkov region, Most parts of Donestk region, parts of Zaporizhia are under full control of the Russians.....and the rest of the world are suffering for Ukraine that is loosing daily - land, personnel, materiel etc
Many politicians will go. SriLanka already sacked their political elites How convenient to leave out what triggered the war. Russia's being the aggressor that invaded/bullied a smaller country. Well, that country being bullied is one of the food basket of the world. The hunger wey go wire Africa is still doing press up. African leaders will get sense by force. 1 Like 1 Share
