boycott of all Nigerian products imported by Ghana as Nigeria’s land border closure bites West African countries.



The move, the traders union believes, will force the Nigerian government to open up its land borders for foreign goods. Nigeria partially shut its borders since August.



According to Ghanaweb.com, Greater Accra Regional Secretary of GUTA, David Kwadwo Amoateng on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem, Friday said the Nigerian government has not been fair to foreign traders. In return, he expects the Ghana government to prevent Nigerian traders from bringing goods into Ghana, but that plea has fallen on deaf ears.



“Either somebody’s bread has been buttered or we are cowards. Government is not being fair to us,” he fumed.

Mr Amoateng cited how Dangote cement had taken over the market while local ones from GHACEM are suffering.



“Let’s boycott Nigerian products as payback to their government’s action. How can we be slaves in our own country?” he said. Amoateng argued that the issue, if not checked, could hamper the Continental Free Trade Area.

This is the beginning of the negative effect on boarder closure of Nigeria.

They can do whatever they please, we are not backing down until the aim of closure is achieved.

They shouldn't forget to boycott our gas too.

Please what is the aim of the boarder closure? Because I doubt this is the best way to go about it in the 21st Century.

We must eat local rice by force

Was on twitter yesterday when i spotted a tweet by a guy who also lost 7.2m over this but i would like to ask JEEPBRIN one question

Can all the output produced by Nigerian farmers feed 100m Nigerians for 3months

Do we have enough infraastructure backend to gurantee tripple our output for the next harvest

If this policy backfires and the price of rise shoots up to 35+ whats the way forward?


Buhari had better take a cue from OBJ in 2004/2005 on how he phased out juice importation gave a speciried date for implementation but with enough plans by local maufacturers to produce juice locally.


Northerns like Dangote and Hammed Ali have an agenda.

Someone want to claim monopoly with rice production in Nig wnd he is going to perfect it with lot of shell companies

The border should remain closed, Ghanaians una never see anything yet "goat never wake up from sleep finish he say na lion he wan follow fight" is that not foolishness?

What is the aim of the border closure?
How can they close the borders but are yet to fully support NIGERIA made goods?

What is the main reason for closing the border?
Because I expect Nigeria made goods to have filled all Nigeria market by now as a reason for closing the border?

Nigerian made goods are all over our markets and the reasons for closing the border is working.
