WorWorBoy2:you can even decide to build a wall around your country just make sure you stay inside. We don't care about you closing ur borders you have the right to do so, but you need to go about it the right way, give prior notice so nobody's goods become stranded at ur border besides most of those business men are ur own country men and the thing is there are more nigerian goods in ghana than the other way round so if we retaliate I don't think you would be smiling, but like a popular saying we have in ghana 'God is likely to be ghanaian than nigerian' so we will keep having mercy on you for the time being. 1 Like 1 Share |

This issues needs understanding what is call international policy making we need to know we are in the same organization which is Ecowas we need to respect that and find a lasting solution on this because the Ghanaians government values there citizens more than we do and they are still growing there economy and they know this will pull them back and as for us we claim to be the So-called giant of Africa that can’t even see what is beyond our nose |

vaxx2: I was actually expecting a lengthy thesis of agonising rebuttal from you --- any Ghanaian. It's one of your chief traits. It's likened to short-man syndrome, where you feel insecure due to your miniscule economy. You call Ghana a hub in West Africa. You sound ridiculous. Ghana does not even feature in the top 15 busiest sea ports in Africa and she ranks below ivory Coast in the sub region . As for your alomo bitters targeting elsewhere for markets, you sound thrashy and ignorant. 1 in every 5 African is a Nigerian and we have a total population bigger than the subregion. So how are you going to find an alternative market to Nigeria? You scream from a height of patriotic wishful thinking but far from reality. If your country feels she has what it takes to retaliate in kind and come away unscathed, she would have opted for that. Talk all you want, that border isn't opening soon. We closed it because we can and we know nothing comes from Ghana that is vital to our economic lifeline 9 Likes 2 Shares |

tigger56: Pride goes before a fall. Nigeria only has population. In real terms, the country is nothing. Protectionism isn't the way to go. Export or perish should be the watchword now. This is not an issue about competition between countries but how to lift the economy. Benin can change its fortunes overnight by building 2 massive Special Economic Zones which will totally transform the face of their economy in no time if flooded with foreign investment. If Ghana's economy can flourish with an open economy, why not Nigeria's? It shows that imports are not the problem. Nigeria's edge is ebbing. The Ghanian per capita income will soon overtake ours if care is not taken. What you must also understand is that once Buhari is gone, any incoming government will most likely lift this trade block. It is doing far more damage than good especially to Nigeria's goodwill. 1 Like |

DarkJeddi: lol, this is rather a vague analysis as it could also mean the level of penetration amongst each nations. Ghana conforms with the ecowas law of Free Movement of Persons, Residence and Establishment. stipulated the right of ECOWAS citizens to enter, reside and establish economic activities of which Nigeria is a major member of state The issue of contraband penetrating the country is an issue affecting African nations, Ghana also has issues of cocoa being smuggled into cote divoire for higher profits Ghana should have closed its borders but it took a different step by demanding more sharehold in the cocoa and chocolate industry Creating a synergy for better prices for farmers and other key stakeholders. That's the big picture you guys don't see. You say you want to curtail smuggling and you resort to close your borders to smugglers and also genuine traders accredited by your ministries. Flouting trade laws you signed to abide by. If you but you want your products to enter other nations. Not everything should be about chest beating One of the major exports to Nigeria in the $80m figure is cocoa, the nigerian beverage company's rely on on that stable source of quality cocoa supply. To meet demand. Not even liquor. There's a huge gap for increasing our earnings amongst African nations but midexiore mindsets like this impede Africa's development. Its a good thing the aftcta is coming on board, it seeks to make Africa the biggest trading bloc in thd world. And Ghana is playing host to the headquarter, this title automatically positions the nation's as the economic capital of Africa after AU in Ethiopia. A lot of Nigerians were bitter with the claim that it should have come to Nigeria. The economic powerhouse of Africa, a goldmine considering the market size . How will it work in a nation with economic uncertainties, poor rankings in ease of doing business and unfriendly business practice? High level insecurity? 1 Like |

SilvaBullet:Very ignorant and ill educated rebuttal. The most productive seaport in west africa is Togo seaport. dwarfing apapa sea port by a size margin . wherever you are educated. Ghana recently expand its seaport to be the deepest seaport in west africa hence overtaking any sea port in west africa by size and deep lenght ( it cost the nation two billon dollar and. more ) You need to wait and see the next year statistics. the port will be fully completed by 2020. the first phase is already open for buisness. Getting alternative market is simple. my idiot friend . bigger goods are channelled thru sea and air. Ghana airport was recently adjudged as the most efficient airport in west africa . it has double its capacity by 6.5 percent just this year alone . this is a further prove that Ghana can channelled its market elsewhere. the country is engaging Columbia, China and many more for new buisness opportunity. what Ghana needs is to sell valuable market not market base on size. Nigeria market is not matured for luxurious goods . hence is not a force. south africa is the only country for that in africa. Ghana economy is hugely depended on Gold . ( Nigeria market can't buy that) . just like I said, Ghana has taking diplomatic assignment. don't expect her to fight back. that will be childish. she is the secretariat of Africa free buisness trade.. this is the latest news incase you are outdated... Hapag-Lloyd declares Tema(Ghana) Port as transhipment hub in West Africa The Hapag-Lloyd, a global shipping giant, has declared Meridian Port Services Limited (MPS) Terminal 3 at Tema Port as its transhipment hub in West Africa. A statement signed by Mr Mohamed Samara, the Chief Executive Officer of MPS, and copied to the Ghana News Agency, said this was revealed at a press conference held in Cape Town, South Africa to announce the launching of the new shipping service for Africa. The statement said the new shipping service dubbed Middle East-India-Africa Express (MIAX), announced in a press conference in Cape Town, South Africa, had its first departure in this October. It said the first departure of the MIAX would follow port rotation as follows: “Jebel Ali - Mundra - Nhava Sheva - Colombo - La Réunion - Durban - Cape Town then direct to Tema (as first port of call in West Africa) followed by Lagos (Tincan and Apapa) then back to Cape Town - Durban - Jebel Ali.” Mr Samara said in the statement that with this port development, Ghana’s Liner Shipping Connectivity would improve significantly. It said the improvement would result in transport costs reduction, increased trade volume for Ghana importers and exporters through the enhanced connectivity to regional and global markets. The statement said the MPS Terminal 3 increased Tema Port’s capacity in terms of container storage, reefer facility, handling equipment and the best of the world’s technology to aid its operations as a Transshipment Hub. It quoted Mr Dheeraj Bhatia, the Senior Managing Director of Hapag-Lloyd’s Middle East Region, as saying that: “With the new MIAX service, our customers will now benefit from an even wider range of fast and flexible direct connections.” Mrs Sandra Opoku, the Director of the Tema Port, said the announcement was welcome news and that it was long overdue considering the developments being undertaken by the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) with its partners. She said the GPHA is strengthening its position as a hub port through the development of the other cargo flows within Terminal One and Two (General Cargo, Break Bulk and liquid) to complement the growth in its container traffic. Mrs Opoku said the development would solidify the Tema Port’s spot in the maritime industry adding that “GPHA will continue to call for investment into port infrastructure to match changing world trends and draw more global trade to Africa”. Mr Peter Mac Manu, the Board Chairman of the GHPA, said that the decision by Hapag- Lloyd to concentrate its West African shipping service in Tema is an evidence of how much the Tema Port played a key role in the new phase of Africa’s economic transformation. 1 Like 1 Share |
