Don't mind them. I don't understand how a non-Nigerian will come to a NIGERIAN forum to attack Nigerians. Nonsense.

Jealousy and hatred Na. After they will be saying, they don't give a fvck about Nigeria or Nigerians. But they're in a Nigerian forum talking trash. Nonsese people

Nanatrendy:
why we are trading with you? Probably some ecowas agreement what else? What at all are you producing that we can't get in China?

listen my sister,Nigeria does not affect us in ANY WAY.They are highly insignificant to Ghana's 65 billion dollar economy. An Economic dependence is when a country buys billions or hundreds of millions of dollars worth our products thus when that country says "No,I won't buy your products again",then you're in trouble.All our buyers are in Asia and Europe.Nigrria only buys 80 million dollars of our exports out of the 17.1 billion dollars that Ghana exports.That 80 million dollars is less than 0.5% of our exports.Nigeria can die now,Ghana will never feel it buh rather benefit just like we benefited from diverted investments when they went on recession since 2015.Ghana now overtakes them in Foreign Direct Investments in 2018.Our only issue is few of our trucks which got stuck at their border due to their failure to announce the close of their borders.Those goods over there is not even worth 0.3% of our total exports. We rather help them by buying their cements and smuggled goods into Ghana worth 159 million dollars. They're nothing to us.

Nanatrendy:
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.

We dash you the Nigerian goods in Ghana, you guys can share it amongst yourselves.

Don't forget to pay for it though.

Then why are you guys crying

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.

Are u very convince that a trade war between Nigeria and Ghana will affect Nigerians more?....am just asking to know more

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.

See over Sabi dey worry u. Did Nigerian govt closed any ghanian shop here? No! So why d heck will Ghana be threatning us with shop closure if not for fear of what they stand to lose? It's common sense, nigeria can live off other neighbouring countries but they can't.

Logobenz0:
Thanks sweetheart Nairaland is for Nigerians and Nigerians Alon. Let this sink into their skull. Especially those Zulus they're all over Nairaland disturbing our peace

Dont dilute the good international reputation of someone 's business...

psychologygh:
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 worldwide 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.Why do you think your ambassador said Ghana is not the target so he will forward it to your authorities to let those trucks in.He knows if Ghana charges,you people will start crying all over the place

Have you taken your time to check the amount of goods Nigeria export to countries outside the African continent? There is just no way Ghana can have more export than Nigeria,when her economy is not as big as the Nigerian economy..just my opinion though

Just30:
something is wrong with you

It is totally wrong for any country in West Africa to impede trade.
Ghana careless how long the Nigerian border is closed for.

Ghana will not watch Nigeria carry out with it unfair trade practices against its neighbouring countries.

Lol..watch ? When we already carrying ot out..

What do you think ghana can do to Nigeria?

ba7man:
Then why are you guys crying

we're just warning you guys to let those trucks who are already at your border before your instant closing of borders in otherwise when they return and we retaliate,hope you hypocrites will not be crying again that "Ghana hates us,they don't respect us and ECOWAS free movement, they're xenophobia". Remember the millions of Nigerians living in Ghana and doing their businesses in peace.A word to the wise is enough. Because we have seen it before.

cescky:
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

Says the little b!tch who can't spell the word illiterate.
You're an illiterate!

Frankly, we don't care. It isn't even your traditional products you send down to Nigeria.

It's goods you import, then send down to Nigeria. You guys are just cannibalizing the Nigerian market.

Look at it critically, they are all afraid that Nigeria seem getting her nation on-track. The only thing our government need to do is making our " PRICE BOARD" work again. With this, the Federal Government can regulate the prices of goods and services produce in the country. Without the Board at work, Local Producer will hike the prices of their products; hence, leading to a higher rate of Inflation.
It should be noted that If the Board; Price Board is not in place then NO POLICIES BY THE GOVERNMENT WILL EVER WORK.
If any Foreign Companies feel Nigeria is one of her targetted market, then they should come and site their firm here. This call for Government to fight against Insecurity.

Let them close their border too, u will see the rate at which nigerians will consume the intended exports.
The reason they call Nigeria the Giant of Africa is not in the fact that we are the most intelligent, organised or coordinated but because of the population advantage.
Go and read basic economics, demand determines every other variances in the market and that is why Nigeria runs the largest economy in Africa most especially West.
Calculate the Numbers of Nigerians in Ghana that will be affected by such dunce decision if it comes from gh and find out from GUTA the loss they stand to bear. Now check out your facts and figures for comparison. They know better. They cant compete with Nigerian market.
Just assume that it was Ghanian gouvt that closed that border to Nigeria, Nigerians will barely notice until they publicise it themselves on social media

Then why are you guys crying

it's annoying because it's coming from a country that gains more from us than we gain from them parasites for that matter, for that minister to be diplomatic about it is even more annoying but well it only shows which one of us is civilised and little wonder investors prefer doing business with us than you, you just do things as if there's no sensible person in your government.

Nanatrendy:
but you benefit off us than we do that's the point, even though you have a bigger market so you loose more than we do besides like I stated your own country men are the people normally moving goods from Nigeria to Ghana so it will mean a loss of livelihood for them as well.

We have a Market MANY TIMES the size of Ghana,

The $80M you receive from trade with Nigeria is worth more to your economy than the $159M we receive from you..

I know it's hard to swallow,

But in the grand scheme of things..

Ghana is a minor League player..

Its funny when you consider that Ghana's GDP of roughly $50 billion is almost equal to one third of Lagos' GDP of $136 billion.
What is even more interesting is that Ghanaians who do not understand the dangers of challenging Nigeria are the ones itching for a trade war, when their government is looking to resolve the issue peacefully.
The Ghanaians on this platform must understand that trade wars go beyond shutting down borders and foreign owned businesses and that in the grand scheme of things, $80 million mean more to Ghana than $150 million does to Nigeria.

As an aside, $150 million is less than what our boys spend on beer each evening.

Your a bastard hope you know ...Nigerian is still ten times better than Ghana accept and stop being a crying baby

What does Nigeria gain from Ghana??

We have states in Nigeria with bigger economy than the whole Ghana.

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.

Close it down!!!! I beg you.. Try it!. There's another Ghana must go pending, just that the bag has a different design this time

Nanatrendy:
I think you've forgotten there's a country called china where we can get the same thing from Nigeria at a cheaper rate. At the end of the day who really looses?

he is deluding himself

If Ghana Stops buying from Nigeria and place an embargo on trade with Nigeria
Nigeria will go into recession
Because, it will be 2 billion dollars market lost to Nigerian oil companies.


Ghanaian businesses will only lose 75 million market.

so as you can see, Ghana does not need you or your market.
Equatorial Guinea is on Ghana doorsteps begging for the 1 billion dollars gas market in Ghana

ofcourse but if we are retaining that 159M in our economy it would be better than to gain 80M so it will be a win win situation for us, and secondly we will get grounds to drive your people out of our country, for now it's ecowas rules that is shielding you but if we are all free to go contrary to ecowas rules then what could possibly save them from Nigeria must go?

If Ghana's economic depends on Nigeria is small,

Nigerian depends on Ghana is LESS THAN infinitesimal..

$80M to your economy is worth more to you than $159M to Nigerian economy..

To imagine that small sierra Leone and Seme will be dragging currency value with Nigeria! Chai.
We must get it right this time

Jesse25:

Abeg help me ask den well watin Ghana dey produce that we can't get in china too,

why would you ask that?

Ghana does not care about your market size
there is no value in it for Ghana and that is why, Ghana does very little trade with Nigeria.

What we produce, you can't afford to buy.
If we supply you electricity today, your pocket would not be able to afford it.

You can't hurt Nigeria

You are simply not in the same league..

You have an economy about one third that of Lagos State..

Do you think Nigeria would be raising hell if Ghana closed their border..

ehissi:


Na to just kuku block the online border gateway between Ghanians and Nairaland, to stop smuggling of Yeye comments from ghana to Nairaland....

Modified: Them no born ghana well to block entry/exit to Nigerian goods. For the record, a substantial number of industries in Ghana thrive on the Nigerian market alone.

You even have corporations/factories that have left Nigeria because of deficits in infrastructure to setup shop/manufacturing wing in Ghana but rely totally on the Nigerian market.

The moment the Nigerian market is no longer available except via the port, they lose their purpose for being in ghana.....

Ghana just came to save itself from a hard recession, datz all.

And GUTA are in their foolishness, trying to fast track the move into a recession, a move the Ghanian government is trying to block.....datz all.....Again!

And for the record, for all those ghanians smuggling illegal comments here, it is the Ghanian government that is using diplomacy to beg us to reopen our borders to exploit our market and not the other way around. Datz all........again! Again!!

Those inconsequential creatures have an ingrained envy for Nigeria as evident in their soulless Ghanaweb forum.
The type of toxic threads they create about Nigeria on that their useless Ghanaweb can only stem from hatred and insecurity.
Lazy assholes!
