Your story is not complete, @ bolded what were You doing then to get the millions and what's the cause of your challenges that brought you back to ZERO.
Meanwhile, your Destiny is already in your hand. you can raise money by selling your iPhone 12 pro max then buy Nokia touch, then use the money to relocate back to Nigeria and start afresh, is good to learn in a hard way sometimes.
Oil dey ur head. He can't be using iphone 12 pro and be complaining of money.

I am also a 29 year old Nigerian who moved to Accra in 2020.

Truly the cost of living is higher in Ghana when compared to Nigeria, while Electricity and Security is a big plus here.

But brother, you need to quit winning and understand that the grass is green where you water the ground

If you say you were once a millionaire in Accra, then you need to remember the child of who you are as you take care of your expenditures.

You don't have to stereotype Accra as if that's the main problem.

I live an OK life in North Kaneshie, Orgle rd to be precise and I live way below my means.

E mean sey you no dey yansh their babes be that na...

You dey mind that mentally unstable buffoon called Mr manager naija news on YouTube.
This the same fo.ol from kogi state that went into the streets of lagos snapping women behind.
Ghana of today is on the verge of collapse.
Cedis as at today is 11:64 peswas.
If you do that one to one... that's like 1,164 naira for dollar.
The just released the inflationary figures at 37 plus percent and I tell you what, that figure is a fat lie cos inflation is around 45 percent.
Small business are dying because of how bad cedi has depreciated.

Hmmm, so does that mean their black-buttocks big yanshed babes are now easy to fvck?

I am in ghana also . Having millions in Naira converted to ghana cedis is nothing . If you have 5 million in Naira it’s better you invest it in Nigeria than investing it here in ghana . 5 million in ghana is like 1 million naira .

I tell people the average Ghanaian has 1 -3million in Naira which he or she can waste around or play with . If he should come to Nigeria he would spend it good . But in ghana it’s nothing . Even when you invest and making the money the cost of things is triple to the cost of things in Nigeria so you find out the system is taking your money back because you have to also save here and try to save back home . At the end you might not get anything .

The average car conductor in ghana uses a brand new 100k android phone . Even thou he might not be educated much he only has primary - secondary school certificate .

Also you would be shocked to see many of them using iPhone 11-13 pro without tangible jobs . Not that they do yahoo yahoo but it’s easy to make the money or get loans to acquire such here as citizens . 500k to Nigerian who sees it as money a Ghanaian doesn’t see that money converted to his currency as money . It’s useless .

I sometimes spend 10 k daily which I might not know what the money is spent on . But back home in Nigeria I wouldn’t spend that much . Cost of diesel here in ghana is 1300 per litter and cost of petrol is 1,100 so you should know that with such the cost of transportation also and food is far too expensive .

Cheese balls sold at 50 naira to 60 naira in Nigeria is sold here at 300 naira . Make I no even start to mention other things una go fear fear


Abeg mention the other things na...
Shey na their big-bittocked black yanshed babes you wan talk about ba?

So how far, as a medical doctor, is ¢7,000 a fantastic salary to live on?

No mind the guy . He just type rubbish Dey think say he talk fact . He might not have been in ghana before . Nigeria is far better than ghana . Make we put light and road for one side . We beat them hands down . I am half Nigerian and half Ghanaian so to me ghana is falling daily ..

I can't wait for them to run back to Nigeria. This time around I go too fvck those their big-bittocked black yanshed babes die, before I advocate another "Ghana must go" crisis...

Many Ghanaians are complaining of the present government and inflation.....This is Ghana that has since been more expensive than Naija.... It is just like spending in a mini abroad though still in Africa.

Most people don't know Nigeria is still the cheapest African country or one of the first 3 cheapest African countries..... Our government needs to get it right on security and electricity, 'meter' every house..... Meter from Cotonou ( with assembly plant @ Ouidah, President Patrice Talon's hometown) is 13000-20000frs depending on quality/ durability and if it is single or 2 phase meter..... From Cameroon, it is 4000-8000frs..... Cameroon seems cheaper than Ghana especially on local food.... Not bad on processed food eg Spaghetti etc but Naija is cheaper for processed food and drinks( Ghanaian drinks are expensive like in Francophone countries)....

Benin to me is better than Ghana apart from schooling unless you don't mind following the French system of schooling and attending it's government institutions which are in French and not so cheap( 200,000 frs for Beninoise as of 2020) and for those advocating that one can go into the hinterlands in Ghana, living in NEAT Ouidah( has toll gates) or Pahou is okay too(1hr+ from main entry park)...No Police on the road, not to talk of Police intimidation in Benin.

Hoping things will be better in Nigeria.... If not for the way things are and lack of integrity in our people, we don't need to really solicit for foreign investors when many Nigerians are outside and can bring businesses and partnerships apart from foreign currencies, into Nigeria.

Nigeria is geographically bigger than Ghana and the road networks are more.... Bigger markets( Stock exchange, FGN bonds, Treasury bills, market size) due to our population ( though APC slowed down the market for a long time).

Zimbabwe's inflation this week is more than 90%.

God BLESS Nigeria, it deserves our prayers despite having bad leaders

So tell me, would fvcking some big-bittocked black yanshed babes in Zimbabwe be a piece of cake, monetary wise?

I have a fetish for non Nigerian women I swear...

Most Nigerians in Ghana and all over the world are criminals all they want to do is to vote for criminals once you stop them from stealing Nigerian start complaining. In Europe and UK and Canada openly in the parliament they claim Nigerians are criminals and this is the problem with Nigerian people all over the world. The average Nigerian wants to steal and want to support criminals once you stop them from stealing they become angry and start complaining that is what is happening to Nigerians today in Europe and UK they are complaining bitterly because the countries do not and not allow them to to steal
Hmmm

Anybody that says Ghana is better than Nigeria, is a big liar. Let me tell you the honest truth, Ghana is only better than Nigeria in aspect of electricity and security.

I came into this country using an iPhone 7, now I am using an iPhone 12 Pro Max, it was in this country I met davido one on one. This time last year I was a millionaire here in Ghana. So u see, I cannot say Ghana has been bad to me.

Fast forward to today, I am penniless. At the verge of being thrown to the street. House rent is due in few weeks time. No money for bank account, I don’t even know where the money will come from. I have contemplated returning back to Nigeria, but am I going to borrow the money to do so? Even if I return back to Nigeria now, will I return back to my father’s house? These are the questions.

Well, for now. I think I have to keep being positive and remain on my grind, hoping for God to make a way for me. That’s my only hope.



Bro I understand the struggle, however just keep keeping on. e go soon green.

Ghanaians are not frivolous like Nigerians, they re shrewd and don't buy into the keep up with the jones mentality that Nigerians do.

They patronize their people's locally made goods unlike Nigerians that love foreign shit.

Because of the high level of Crime of Nigerian citizen it is very difficult to invest even in famine and other businesses in the village because you need to go through the Investment promotion council and gipc which is half a million u.s. dollar up-front. This figure was put in place so that Nigerians do not just come to Ghana and stop committing a horrible crime voting for criminals supporting criminals and wanting a criminal to lead them in a foreign man's land
lol, so you mean if you rent land and start farming Government will come for you because you don’t half half a million dollar? All these things are just formalities on paper holding ground a little on their major markets I can categorically tell you that the main reason it was enforced then was bcoz of the election which their president was trying to win. At that time re-election wasn’t sure for him and he didn’t want the opposition to use that against him. So when the union started agitation and demanded that Government must enforce the law, and after months of agitation they noticed that the Government wasn’t ready, they took the law into their hands and started locking Nigerians shops. The IGP gave direction for the perpetrators to be arrested and locked up and that the shops to be reopened with immediate effect. With continued pressure and as a typical African politician the president didn’t want it to appear as if he didn’t consider his citizens first before the foreigners and with the election approaching so he yielded, You can see that in how he struggled to win the election. I have businesses in the city of Accra so do many Nigerians and throughout that time there wasn’t any problem except those In Circle market and their spare parts market, Abossu okai ( I’m not sure I got the spellings correct ) and Mokola market(which they opened back in less than a month)
