femmoy: I get your point, really. Jokes apart, the closure of the borders should have been a well-thought out strategy and enough time should have been given to manufacturers, exporters and importers of goods to plan. But while I may not like the present government, and I am nonpartisan but a believer in good governance, one thing you cannot take away from this leadership is the willingness to do whatever it wants to do without being afraid of whose ox is gored. While that has its advantages, it also has its disadvantages. Suffice to say, however, that if the intention for the border closure is to force us to look inwards and the incentives are in place to encourage local production, then don't you think this singular action could be considered a masterstroke of the Buhari presidency? I don't just hate a government for the sake of hating it. This is my country. My father bled for this country and I have a stake in it. If the intention is good and this government gives it all it deserves to speed up local production, then we might as well as tighten our belts and face the consequences once and for all for the general good of everyone. 1 Like |

Just30: We are a nation of about 200m yet do not have pit latrines but rather use proper WC system while you are a country of about 28m yet pit latrines are the order of the day yet those pit latrines are never maintained and end up stinking up the environment and neighboring homes. You really need to stop lying to yourself. Read for yourself Ghanaians are known to squat on the beach, in the bush, or in wide open spaces of any city or town. Government billboards explicitly warn "Beaches are not toilets — don't do it here." OR It is estimated that over 4.5 billion people out of the world's total population of 7.2 billion do not have access to safe latrines. OR Ghana battles open defecation with many homes still without toilets OR Ghana has been named among the top 10 countries worldwide with the highest percentage of its population without decent toilets. 2 Likes 1 Share |

King44:it is not a win for us it is a win for your country now because Ghana operate an open economy Your country does not allow cement from Ghana into your Nigeria but Ghana allows cement from Nigeria into Ghana. so if you continue to block Ghanaian manufacturers from your market, Ghana will also close it consuming market to your manufacturers and re-exporters. i guess that is fair, isnt it? 1 Like |

Just30: Ghana cement does not meet with standards required in Nigeria which is why it cannot be allowed here. However Dangote cement is world class. Most of your property developers use Dangote cement and not even Ghacem. You guys are just empty noise makers. Ghana cement began operations in Ghana long before Dangote came yet in a short time Dangote cement has taken over the market from Ghacem. Una no get sense charlie 2 Likes |

The land border closure has merits and demerits. On the merit side, Smuggling activities that has crippled local production of goods will stop, increasing income to the government through using the right channel for importers or countries exporting to pay customs tax. Also, there will be spike in the country's local production which with time will sustain the population. Security will be enhanced. People will agree with me that cases of herdsmen attack has reduced in some couple of weeks. On the demerit side, we will feel the heat as it is now that price of contraband goods has skyrocketed. Yes, more income but government corrupt practices will not make them invest in sectors that will drive local production. Benin and Niger Republic are the most hit with this land closure. To be honest, we can't continue to bear the fuel subsidy loss and some wicked elements are eating fat on this. If these affected countries need fuel from us, they should go through the right channel and sales will be done with logistics, subsidy and tax levies put into consideration. To think of it, they supply rice to us without payment of tax and any other leverage fees. As for Ghana threatening Nigeria, they can go ahead but need to mention that Nigeria should recripocate by banning export to or import from Ghana. Those companies who relocated to Ghana because cost of production is high in Nigeria yet Nigeria remains their market will pee in their trousers. 2 Likes |

Tetehjewels:you keep making noise our media have a way of drawing our government attention they just have to put up a false reportage and the government will rush to fix the problem of the particular community. That reportage was done by citifm to get the government to fix a problem in Nigo Prampram 86% of Ghana population have access to improve water and sanitation 47 million Nigerians practise open defecation – UNICEF 80 million in dire need of improved toilet The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has said that no fewer than 47 million Nigerians still indulge in open defecation in the country. Also, 33 million people in the country use unimproved toilet, while 90 percent of households use water that is contaminated. Now, UNICEF further said, about 80 million Nigerians are in dire need of improved toilet as unsafe drinking water, open defecation and poor hygiene have remained major causes of under-5 death in the country. This is coming on the heel of the newly released 2018 Nigeria Demographic Health Survey (NDHS,2018), which revealed that the number of under-5 children dying yearly have continued to increase in the last 5 years. The latest NDHS document states that under-5 death increased from 128 deaths per 1,000 live births in the 5 years prior to the 2013 NDHS, to 132 deaths per 1,000 live births in the most recent 5-year period (about 1 million U-5 children die yearly). Many of these needless deaths have been traced to diarrhoea and water borne disease. Latest findings from the Federal Ministry of Water Resources (FMWR) states that more than 100,000 children under 5 die each year due to diarrhoea, making Nigeria the second country with the highest Children’s death from diarrhea. These deaths could however be reduced if there is an end to open defecation and practice of good hygiene, sanitation, UNICEF-Nigeria Communication Specialist, Geoffery Njoku, told journalists, during an EU-UNICEF sponsored media dialogue on sanitation tagged “CLEAN NIGERIA: USE THE TOILET”, which held yesterday at Tahir Hotel Kano, Kano state. According to him, there’s a huge link between sanitation, open defecation and child survival, hence the need for all to join #The Clean Nigeria Campaign. A breakdown of the deplorable situation of open defecation, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) situation in Nigeria, by WASH Specialist, UNICEF-Nigeria, Bioye Ogunjobi states that “1 in 3 Nigerians does not have access to basic drinking water services. 90 percent of households use water that is contaminated. |

Just30:you seem to make some sense by been rational in some of your posts, but please don't mix sentiments with the ideal , Nugeria purchasing powers is way more than that of Ghana sir, some of us have once been IN your nation and have seen how far you guys have gone, the major issue with Nigeria is the tribalistic and ethnically inclined leadership,Nigeria is seriously way beyond in Ghana in economics, despite the weaknesses many of our political leaders, don't think the likes of Dangote and Adenuga and Alakija are richest in thier fields for nothing o, it is a reflective of our societal economical influence here. Though most of us here condemned the closure in its entirety as it is a result of the illiteracy level of the leader here .Our poor,population has great powers to boost our local economy and that's what you guys lack out there .the solution to headaches is not in cutting off the head.Our current leader is just not intelligent and bold enough.Else those manning the leaderships of the boarders should be dropped and even charged for failure.But because the leaders were tribalists, they cant remove the very ones they impose on us as the security agencies.Custom failed, immigration failed, police failed, Army and Airforce also failed but the leaders there still retained their offices simply,y because they were brought in by the same man complaining.

I have gotten over 100 mentions about my two comments I just made and how uneasy you Nigerians felt when I gave you the facts and statistics of why Ghana never needs Nigeria buh Nigeria rather needs us to survive. Yes,Ghana is independent in terms of inter African trade.Nigeria is Ghana's number 4th trade partner in West Africa. Meaning Trade between Ghana and three other West African nations which are Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso and Togo are more higher than trade between Ghana and Nigeria. You rather exports more things to Ghana than we export to Nigeria.The issue of Ghana diplomats is,your irresponsible government didn't even announce this barbaric border closure thinking they live on an island. Although our minister diplomatically agreed with your government to open the border for only Ghanaian registered companies because these trucks had already set off and were at the border when this border closure occurred so they even want to return which will incur a loss to their products. GUTA,your long enemies who hates Nigeria 100% and wants all Nigerian traders out of Ghana wants to retaliate and the government will finally give in to their demands because GUTA is the most powerful trade organization in Ghana and comprises of all Ghanaian traders.We have a purchasing power of 200 billion dollars plus our obedient neighbors who we trade perfectly well with so we never needed Nigeria. That 80 million dollars trade with Nigeria can just slide away without any effect to trade buh GUTA has seized this opportunity to eliminate Nigerian competitors from Ghana which will thus affect the millions of Nigerians living in Ghana and doing imports and exports. That's everything explained.We exported goods worth 17.1 billion dollars to the world in 2018 so 80 million is peanuts of trade returns.And we are currently number 1 in Africa with the largest gold production country beating the leaders South Africa. We produce our own gas now,we never buy refined oil from Nigeria cos you yourself even import refined crude oil.We produce our own crude oil,cocoa is a multi billion dollar industry in Ghana who is number 2 worldwide,this year,over 1 million tourists have visited Ghana thus we earning more than a billion dollars in tourism. 1 Like 1 Share |

wristbangle:first of all, Ghana is not threatening Nigeria.( GUTA) is not a mouth piece of the goverment but of the traders. so to correct you further , businesses that fly away from Nigeria didn't do it becuse of cost of product. but lack of Nigeria goverment incentives to buisness enviroment. it is even more expensive to produce in Ghana than Nigeria. Ghana buisness enviroment is one of the most expensive in africa, but goverment initiative to support buisness works becuse the economy gives room for expansion which is the bedrock of productivity and growth, hence Ghana continuous economic growth. Businesses in Ghana can channel their market elsewhere. businesses are meant to be volatile. 1 Like |
