Ghana is now feeling the heat.
O how I wish we have land border with South Africa.

backnbeta:

You think those closed naija shops in Ghana define the economy of Nigerians living in Nigeria? I don't support the bad Belle border closure, but I don't see how Guta's threat in Ghana have any effect...the worst they'll do is to close the shops again

psychologygh:
are you alright. Check the amount of exports Ghana exports to Nigeria compared to what Nigeria exports to Ghana. Ghana doesn't need any ECOWAS and if there's a trade war,Nigeria loses 159 million dollars whilst Ghana loses just 80 million dollars. Ghana exports over 17 billion dollars of goods just in 2018 and Nigeria is not even among top 10 export countries of Ghana even in Africa.All our products are exported outside Africa.Its the millions of Nigerians and their businesses in Ghana who loses not Ghana so think well before trying anything foolish with us.We never rely on your zoo.We're not Benin Republic. It's just that those trucks had already set off so they don't know if they should return back. If they do and we start retaliating, hope you don't cry xenophobia again.

psychologygh:
Stupid talk and do you think the LNG is for free.And we produce our own crude and buy proper refined crude from Europe not Nigeria who can't even refine a quarter of their oil.Why do you think you're the only one who sells LNG.You rather loose if we decide not to buy your LNG and by God's grace we now produce our own LNG now so we don't buy yours again.Listen,our energy sector is far stable and better than yours with blackouts everyday in your country. We enjoy 24/7 electricity throughout the year in Ghana which is a dream in Nigeria

Nigerians youths are just lazy and illetrates ... There's not much hope for the future of this country...

It's clearly stated that Nigeria goods are entering ghana without issues and reverse is the case in Nigeria... All of a sudden people are wanking and masturbating over how great Nigeria is.... Perhaps it's the traffic quality of nairaland?

Anyways most nairalanders don't even know the location of seme border, and lack exposure hence the low iq comments

When would Trump come out of his impeachment saga?

NigeriaIsDoomed:
so you dey fear to chop ban? U for no edit am make dem ban you for life. Next time conduct yourself with decorousness otherwise I will have you banned and your account deactivated.

chrisagyei:
****did you hear her.Nigerian goods are entering into Ghana freely buh you refuse these trucks who had already set off entry so they want to even return back.And GUTA was told to open Nigerian shops and stop the protest because you Nigerians run to these same ECOWAS to cry free trade agreement. Over 400 Nigerian shops were locked in just one town in another city called Kumasi alone which was just a spare parts dealership town.Imagine the millions of Nigerians who will go hungry in Ghana had GUTA locked up your shops and closed Nigerian retail businesses throughout Ghana. They just sounded a warning to the minister to inform you that if Ghana retaliates, it will be very ugly so stop saying trash.

capitalzero:


You are actually right. if the other west Africa nations gang up against Nigeria. Nigerians living in those nations will feel the heat. while I support closure of borders, can government sustain it? It is fire brigade approach.

castiello:
Shut up enemy of progress you can say this nonsense because u are not productive, you are just a consumer you don’t farm or produce so how will you feel when you invest on production and someone is spoiling the market with fake substandard and expired products at a cheap price and we all run to consume this product forgetting about the health hazards after you will be posting pictures of you laying in the hospital of kidney failure and asking for donations

WhoBeThisMan:
do you really think Ghana can possibly win a trade war with Nigeria? Nigeria economy is 10 times bigger and it is by far the biggest in Africa. All of you benefit from it one way or the other.

This one is just a sneeze.. the worst Ghana can do is close shops ... What else?

Olami112:
If it were to be Ghana that closed border
And 1 Nigeria smuggle a product in or out
BBC , CNN and other News will use it as headline
We don't want smuggling , we want to reduce illegal things in Nigeria, is it a crime again.

Now I believe something is fishy , I believe all this countries are the one smuggling weapon into Nigeria

alexola20:
This is why War/Revolution can never happen in Nigeria this time,at least the European governments will not let it happen,as it will greatly affect all African countries most especially the West and Central African countries.And the influx of refugees to Europe will be worse than the 2nd world war.

chrisagyei:
She is a diplomat,she hardly issue warning, it's GUTA who petitioned her and warned her of retaliation if the issues is not resolved cos when they started their aluta which is in the Ghanaian constitution legally that no foreigner is suppose to start any business in Ghana except when you have a capital of 1 million dollars, it was this same government who calmed them down because you people were like close friends of ours and so they are not even calling for you people to open your borders.They are now justifying why they did and should do what they did nationwide and retaliate by closing the Ghanaian borders because you have shown bad faith.That's why your ambassador is reasoning with the minister's call to forward it because it can be ugly.She doesn't want to retaliate quickly but wants to know if our trucks should return back so the trade war begins.

psychologygh:
are you serious.We export over 17 billion dollars worldwide and you are telling me 80 million dollars. 80 million dollars is less than 0.5% of our exports if you care to know.and they don't mean shit to us.Those are even former Nigerian companies who were forced to relocate to Ghana to continue manufacturing into your market because of your lack of energy and necessary business friendly infrastructure. Nigeria means nothing to Ghana okay. Even in ECOWAS, you're 4th in terms of Ghana exports partners.159 million dollars that you import to Ghana is far double than 80 million dollars we export to Nigeria so your country loose more when a trade war begins.

bakescos01:


Ghana has alot more to do than closing shops, almost all Nigerian Banks are in Ghana and Ghanian Banks are not in Nigeria. A threat to close down Nigerian Banks in Ghana can shake us. Also Nigerians do alot of business in Ghana from real estate to importation and so on. This will definitely bounce back on Nigeria as well. We can't grow West Africa with all this things our leaders are doing. We will only get poorer and poorer and that's the blunt truth.

allthingsgood:
Wait I thot they said Ghana is now the giant of Africa not Nigeria. Lols. Mumu pipo

mofedamijo:


lol, you have a point, but you don't understand the dynamics of import/export and its impact on the economy.
Let me help you, Nigeria exports to Ghana because Ghana needs those goods badly, now if Ghana decides to close its borders to Nigerian goods, Ghana will have to go else where to get it, this will mean them spending more and their consumers will spend more to get the goods. Example is this, if you buy a tuber of yam from ogun state, its cheaper for you, however, if you choose to buy from calabar, you will have to pay more for transportation of the yam, you wonder why Ghana hasn't closed its borders to Nigeria, they should try it for 20hours only. I weep for Nigeria, if Nigeria had taken its rightful place in the continent, honestly, most countries will be begging us to accept visa free, they will beg us for every thing, i hope we get it soon, i pray so.

It is a mutual relationship mallam, if Ghana decides to close its borders our traders will also suffer.

Iamgrey5:
Sorry bruv but you are the one talking recklessly

Nigeria has the largest reserve of LNG in Africa and Ghana doesn't come close.

It also require infrastructure to tap into LNG reserve which Ghana doesn't have at the moment. Hence, the reliance on West Africa gas pipeline from Nigeria.

If you stop buying the little you buy from us, it won't affect our economy.

Olami112:


What's this one saying
He be like say , you guys are ready for second Ghana must go
I don't know what this guys take Nigeria for oh?

Do you think if Germany
China
Japan
South African
USA
UK to choose between Nigeria and Ghana for business.
You think they choose Ghana?
Sit down there start typing when the reality comes , you will know how important Nigeria is
