In her bid to get well economically Ghana will have to swallow bitter economic pills courtesy IMF conditionalities. It will tell on Ghanaians who will scapegoat foreign Nationals as they struggle to eke out a living. Nigerians who ran to Ghana and away from the Nigerian harsh economic weather had better be on their way back home before they become victims of transferred aggression. A word is enough for the wise.

Do you actually believe that Nigeria will ever be better than Ghana by standard of living?

We actually have to widen the tax net.


Do you tax the unemployed?

Widening the tax net is different from increasing taxes and is actually better.Ghana did the latter.
Just so you know.

Do you tax the unemployed? Answer!

It is more expensive to live in Ghana than in Nigeria. Nigeria is one of the cheapest African countries to actually inhabit.
Exactly my brother.....
Some of people commenting on nairaland haven't yet to step theirs toes outside Nigeria that's why they were talking like that.

Like you said earlier on..... It is also more expensive to live in cote dilvoire than in Nigeria.
Expensive living in Cote dilvoire is mouth-dropping.

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

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 my Fatherland.

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 50% 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 and one of the best in the world so far https://nairametrics.com/2022/07/03/nigerian-stock-market-end-first-half-of-2022-as-one-of-the-best-in-the-world/

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.

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
100℅ correct bro. Those never being into Ghana before will say Ghana is better than Nigeria. Though their security is OK,power supply is good but what they paid in a month if its happened in Nigeria chasala don burst.

Do you actually believe that Nigeria will ever be better than Ghana by standard of living?
You should be looking at the size and the share of the market that is ready and willing to pay for the value you offer. Nigeria has a market and human and material resource base that is far bigger than Ghana’s. I believe Nigeria will get better. I am not inclined to make the comparison you seek because the factors involved rapidly shift in very short span of time.

I really don't know what the situation is over there, but I doubt it will compare to what we have in Nigeria, and yet we the citizens make no fuss about. We are special breeds walahi

Stop telling lies. most Nigerians are paid an average of 50,000 naira per month. Abi na lie? A new lawyer doing his pupilage in Ghana can receive more than 2000 cedis, which is more than 200,000 naira. how much is a 'full-grown" lawyer in Nigeria paid? shocked grin
who is telling lie? You don't have manner of approach. Please I don't come here to argue with anybody ,I had been there before and i know what I'm saying. You only heard your news on social media or third parties relative. Then, if you say 2000 Ghana cedis is more than #200,000 I realised you don't know what you are saying but to clear your ignorance (2000 Ghana cedis is #103,000 as at today 5/7/2022. I think this will educate you more.

You further strengthened his point.

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

They will survive. Nothing special about that country. Stop making it look like they are america all of a sunset. We may not have power but overall general infrastructure here is still way.way better than their. You are use to their constant hyping whilst they die in silence. Unlike them we speak up over the flimsiest thing.

Everything you wrote was on point till you mentioned Nigeria giving Ghana Electricity. That’s false . Ghana has its own dam and Nitro electricity . Their dam has been in existence before they got independence . And till now is functioning . It’s has been fully privatized to American companies where every 5 years they
New companies re-bid . Maybe you read more on Akosombo dam . Then you will know more .

For most folks like you, you do not value what you have until you lose it. Thank God for President Muhammadu Buhari. May God bless him and bless Nigeria.

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

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 my Fatherland.

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 50% 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 and one of the best in the world so far https://nairametrics.com/2022/07/03/nigerian-stock-market-end-first-half-of-2022-as-one-of-the-best-in-the-world/

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.
