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.

The bolded is so on point... A lot of people are always targeting the Nigeria market .

Look at Benin republic....Most of the things they import are smuggled into.Nigeria.. they don't have the market for it,hence they target Nigeria... Same goes for Togo..



In sub Sahara Africa Nigeria's manufacturing industry is only second to South Africa's, so I don't see what other African countries are producing that we don't produce here...

They just want to import inferior products from Europe and Asia and dump them here...

We won't allow that!

Danielnino00:



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!

this is nonsense talk

why have you banned Ghanaian pharmaceuticals
cables
electronics
beverages
banks
oil companies

vaxx:
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.

You are lying!!
You are telling me that home products like Closeup, Klin,omo, milo,oral B,etc that are common in Nigeria households and made in Nigeria in industries that are located in the numerous industrial estates scattered across the country are made in Ghana??/


Big lie!!!

theenchanter:
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.

using. America as an example is very wrong. firstly America industry has created a well trusted environment and a. well supportive mechanism for their buisness to thrive locally. nigeria on the other hand is. strill struggling with basic manufacturing product like plastic chair and pen. therefore the production base is very weak. any African product with better quality can easily sent. Nigeria product home easily.


take a clue from the telecommunication industry, Airtel is seriously competing with glo and may soon take over the market.

Just30:

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?

If our products aren't of standard,how come they find their way into the Ghanaian market?

vaxx:
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.

Uae is different from africa, uae is just a combination of 7 Emirates, they're just like the UK.

Dubai is a trade hub, they opened market to d world to come n trade,

The problem with afcta is that, what does african countries produce and can sell to others? Is it not that they'll import things from d world n sell to other African countries?

Jokes...

Glo had been in the market long before Airtel and have a far bigger subscriber base than Airtel.
Add to the fact that Glo has the cheapest data plan in Nigeria... Airtel can only give it competition,nothing else..

You should be more worried about the lack of an indigenous telecommunication company in Ghana

maybe d American example was wrong but let's come to Africa.

Nigerian banks are in some african countries and south African retail shops are in africa, does nigerian banks made d host nation banks to collapse? Does south africa retail shops collapsed other nations retail sector?

Airtel can't, dont even go there, it's been sold every now n then in 9ja.

Nigeria is still d producer of some of d best cables in d continent or probably d world.

Take Ghanians serious at your own peril

Ghanians will do anything to tell you they are better than Nigeria.

Upon the way Nigeria helps Ghana and W.Africa ,they still back stab us

Just take them as if they are joking,Ghanians never want to feel inferior.

When we meet during football matches shows you how much they compete with us,they will play with their last strength.This has been in Existence for more than a decade


Imagine Glo funding Ghana's biggest football league and being a major telco and yet ghanians say Glo is dead.

Because the host nation provide mechanisms to let Nigeria and thekr local buisness to compete without any difficulty.. competition is always healthy for any economy.it provide balances.

Airtel can't, dont even go there, it's been sold every now n then in 9ja.

Airtel is coming and it sis not sleeping. if only you read the stock exchange.

You said a country of not more 10 million population is taking over Nigeria population of about 180 million most lucrative business is not a big deal. do you really mean what you say.

Do you know how it will affect Nigeria revenue which will in turn put pressure on already weak economy.

Ghana is having a population that s not more than the combination of kano and lagos, yes it has four sea port with two working effectively and you are not seeing that as a danger? Am sorry bro. you are sleeping
