just recently, Nigeria president refuse to sign the Continental Free Trade Area which aimed at creating a single continental market for goods and services. that will also enhance free movement of business persons, investments and investors.

Nigerian govt does not even support business coming from close benin, talkless of. Ghana.

not signing d africa free trade doesn't mean nigeria is against it or afraid of competition, even many bodies are telling d govt to sign it but d fed govt said many free trade as been signed in africa and it doesn't come to fruition, hence d need to study it carefully and know every details about it.

I dont recall nigerian govt not supporting Ghanaian biz or west africa, clothes from cote d'ivoire still finds its way into nigerian market.

Just make d product be of high standard, Nigeria is not against it in west africa.

Tbe federal govt is very open on why it will not be signed. they simply don't want a stiff competition between the local product and ones made from other country. nigeria have been buying inferior product from both china. and dubai. so the idea that it should be of high quality is not a topic of.debate. Nigerian knew product from Ghana are of high quality. even in Germany, Germans prefer ghana art works like beed and ornament to the one made in Nigeria.

Did the FG said it will not be signed?

So are you saying Ghana does not export anything to Nigeria or that there are no Ghanaian own businesses in Nigeria?

that's it, nigerians come to ghana, buy d kantè and bring it down here to nigeria, they meet all these immigration personnel on various border but d border personnel didnt disturb them since there's free movement of goods and services in west africa.

How's that smuggling?

if it is. legalised, it will be regulated. prostitution is legalised in India. and Nigerians women are raking in cool cash from it.

all african countries have been buying inferior goods from China n dubai, even ur "Japanese" ghana buy inferior products, there's nothing u produce down there in Ghana that is not produce across d continent.

The only fear nigeria has (in my opinion) is that, african countries may import more product than they can consume n send d remaining to nigeria cos 9ja has d largest market in d continent.

If d afcta is all about "local product" only; that is.. goods produced in african countries only, we're all ball.

officially no, but pratically yes. some of the dish washing soaps in your homes, detergents, mouth wash, toothpaste and other consumables are actually imported from Ghana despite the fact that their labels read ”produced and manufactured in Nigeria”.

Apparently, most of the factories in Nigeria work at less than 10% capacity while the other percentages are imported from Ghana and other country.

This is what we are pointing out. fear of competition. you just answer it yourself. it is not about inferior product but product that may likely rubb off nigeria products

afraid of what exactly?

What does ur "better product" have to offer nigerian market and still can't break into it?

Don't even talk about banking sector, there's stern competition among nigerian banks, even foreign banks can't cope with it.

theenchanter:

This is not true. so far the business is regulated and it is part of product accepted by standard authority, you are good to go. most Ghanaian business does not have a go ahead. ghana Ankara is part. the claim is Nigeria has more Ankara brand therefore it can collapsed the local market.

u dont get my point.

Imagine 48 african countries importing more electronics than they can consume and send d remains to nigeria.

Can Nigeria import electronics that will serve 48 african countries and send it to all african countries?

tylann:

The big question
Why are they afraid of competition

their products ain't standard enough
and they are afraid that, the prowess of Ghanaian manufacturing with a better manufacturing environment will make their products look substandard and loose market share.


so the big question is, why are they still in ECOWAS?

Just30:
so Nigerians
why are you afraid of competition from Ghana?

What competition exactly?/

I've asked you several times to give me a list of things you produce over there that you can sell and dominate in our market!
Just one!

If you can't give me a list,then you are just making noise....South African companies are operating here and they are making huge profits...nobody has chased them out!

if your buisness is well sophisticated, there is nothing wrong jn allowing buisness to thrive around. it will create mkre chances for investment. Dubai has an Emirates does not manufacture anything, it is just an open marjet of Chinese, indians amd skme other asia country to show case theor buisness. Nigeria can borrowed a clue from this idea.

Nigeria with a population that is about 10 times of all west african state can used this strategy to their own advantage.

once a product is accepted by ecowas... its free to enter into any west african country.

If nigeria has so many ankara brand, can ghana ankara to make it collapse? America produce vehicles but almost all big automotive industries from different part of d world find their way into the US market, does it make their automotive industry to collapse?

I guess Ghanaian industry is d one afraid of competition.

your entire country is so afraid of competition such that
it refuses to certify Ghanaian products
as for the banking sector
all Ghana banks that tried entering Nigeria was refused a license by your central bank

Ghanaian oil companies that manage to win contracts in Nigeria was xenophobically attacked

that is the case but in Nigeria, you have to apply for so many licenses certification and all sort of nonsense
and when you are refused, your products cannot be sold on the market...

so the question still stands
what are you afraid of?
