That is some nonsense. You have earn 1 trillion dollars from Oil and you have nothing - absolutely nothing to be proud of. You're near to a cursed nation if one existed.

Abohboy:


Most of Africa like Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Mozambique, DRC, Gabon, Congo etc they may become more developed than Nigeria because they have less land and less people to account for so development is much easier for them

AskiaHarem:

When Nigeria sneezes the whole of Africa catches a cold we are getting back on our feet and slowly we will make it there

SUFFERInSMILIIN I saw a Bloomberg report that Nigeria and Ghana are stealing your mining sector they say the new good rush is in Ghana and Nigeria and that southern Africa is running out haha just wait for your diamond dependant economy to fall

The bug difference between us two countries is that we will not allow them to just cart away all the gold and make it into jewelry to sell back to us but rather we will do everything here in Nigeria do not be surprised if you go out and you see jewelry made in Nigeria in your dear old country

Nigeria is growing whoever makes trade deals with us now will succeed in the future Ghana is already with us we are going to grow together do not worry we are going to be the first African world superpower we will represent the while of Africa on an international scale.

Clearly you have never met corruption over 600 billion dollars has been lotted from Nigeria so how can we develop we are only getting back on our feet now yet you have not surpassed us in all these years that we have been stopped from developing because of corruption where have you been now we are getting back on our feet and nothing can stop us

None of Nigeria subsidiaries in Kenya makes even top 20 of kenya banks - they came and got ripped - by buying small dying banks. Kenya banks outside kenya are doing great.

Equity has now bought two big banks in DRC Congo (70M people)

For example - Equity Bank in Congo

They kinda are and there the Kenyans were bragging about buying a bank in DRC that country is barely even developed any company there is probably very small

When looting was happening - what did you do about it? Changed gov? Staged a revolution like Sudan or Algeria did this? Protested? Engaged in civil disobedience?

Nigerians looted 600B dollars and stashed it abroad....

And you tell me you're not a zoo

What we will do if border closure remains –Leader, Ghana traders union
punchng.com Oct 26, 2019 12:22 AM

Clement Boateng
Clement Boateng is the National Organiser, Ghana Union of Traders Association. He speaks on the closure of Nigeria’s land borders and how it is affecting businesses in his country in this interview with ALEXANDER OKERE

Why did your organisation condemn the closure of land borders by the Nigerian government?

It (border closure) wasn’t a right decision because it infringes on the ECOWAS protocol. The foundation of the ECOWAS protocol is the free movement of people, goods and services. So, if for close to three months, the borders have been closed and people cannot move freely, goods cannot exit or enter, then it defeats the ECOWAS protocol. That was the reason our association issued a statement condemning the closure of the borders by the Nigerian authority.

How specifically has this affected Ghanaian traders?

It is not only Ghanaian traders that the closure has affected; it has affected almost all the ECOWAS countries that are using the borders – it affects Benin (Republic), Togo, Ivory Coast and Liberia. Our association issued that statement for the purpose of all the (affected) countries.

Have you received any response from the ECOWAS Commission over the closure?

We are amazed that the ECOWAS Commission has not said something or commented on the closure of the border. Before Nigeria closed its borders, it should have done some consultations with the countries that would be affected by the closure.

Are you saying no consultation was done?

No consultation was done before we realised that the borders were closed. We can even attest to the fact that Nigerians are complaining about the closure because Nigerian farmers cannot export their products.

One of the reasons given by the Nigerian government for the closure was the need to stop smuggling, promote trans-border security. What’s your reaction to that?

Well, if those were the reasons given for the closure of the borders, especially regarding security, I wouldn’t have much problem with that. But the manner the whole exercise was done wasn’t the best. We are worried about that. The Nigerian government should have informed other ECOWAS members, their security agencies, about the exercise it wanted to embark on to check security issues, rather than just closing the borders. Now, people’s goods that are perishable have gone bad and people have lost huge sums of money. I don’t think it is the best.

Can you quantify how much your members have lost since the closure?

I cannot quantify what we have lost. I cannot specifically say the amount that has been lost. But as far as I am concerned, we have lost a huge sum of money.

Can you list some of the goods from Ghana that have been affected?

Nigeria has something known as ECOWAS trade mobilisation scheme which means that all the 50-member states can send goods that are manufactured by each country to each country. But for three to four years, Nigeria banned 41 items which cannot be imported and the ECOWAS Commission is not saying anything. Some of the goods banned by Nigeria are poultry products, pharmaceuticals, textiles and furniture and I don’t think this is the best thing to do because one of the reasons for the establishment of ECOWAS is promote trade among the member-states with goods manufactured by them.

Nigeria had also alleged a breach of the ECOWAS protocol on transit demand by some neighbouring countries that tamper with the seals of transit containers from Nigeria. How would you respond to that?

Well, if there was a breach, Nigeria has every right to complain to the trade department of the ECOWAS to sort it out. Anything that breaches the sovereignty of a country within the ECOWAS commission must not be allowed.

Do you think Nigeria’s decision has any implication on its economy?

I don’t think the closure of the borders was the best thing to do because in September alone, Nigeria made about N115 billion, which was a boost to its revenue. But Nigeria thinks the closure is good and wants to extend it to 2020, that’s why my association has complained and our government must talk with them (Nigeria). They (Nigeria) said they were going to open a special corridor for us to channel goods from Ghana going there and the other way round. But we want a total opening of the borders. However, if the special corridor is in the interim, I think we will take it like that.

Smuggling of illicit food items is a major problem affecting local economies. What has the Ghanaian Trade Union done to sanction its members who may be involved in smuggling?

As far as we are concerned, none of our members has been engaged in smuggling. I visited Nigeria twice or thrice in a year and no member of my association has been arrested for engaging in smuggling. I can say that Ghanaians don’t engage in smuggling.

How does the union intend to implement the proposed boycott of made-in-Nigeria products, according to the reported statement you issued?

I don’t know where that came from. Maybe one of my regions issued that statement. But as far as I am concerned, the national association has not come out with any statement of that nature. I will have to check from my regions. As far as the national (body) is concerned, we haven’t called for any boycott.

Why is your country not happy with the border closure?

The Ghanaian government is not happy and that was why, when we complained to the government, our foreign affairs minister had to quickly rush to Abuja to engage the Nigerian authorities. That resulted in an agreement that they will open a corridor for us. The Ghanaian government is working things out with the Nigerian government.

What has been the impact of the border closure on Ghanaian families?

The impact has been negative. We also have a number of Nigerians who are engaged in business in Ghana. They bring their goods from Nigeria to trade but they are all complaining. It is taking a negative toll on business and it is not only Ghanaians that are complaining.

Shma:
is their any problem? Anyway Ethiopia,Tanzania, kenya and the rest of east Africa are moving at the same pace. You can't create your own presumption that Rwanda will dominate east Africa in the coming years. Say in five years time Rwanda will dominate us Naijeria. I think that is what you wanted to say but you found it difficult to open up but to project your idea to east Africa.

that must have hurt a nerve. Well ...Rwanda is dominating Kenya soon, watch out.

Talk about Nigeria and it's slumpolis. We are all proud of what Rwandese are doing in Kigali and what Ethiopian are doing in Adis...and entire country.

None of those countries have any minerals - no gold, no diamond, no oil - so Ethiopians and Rwandese are following Kenyan example - demonstrating sub-sahara african can have sustainable development not spurred by natural resources - by their brains & hands.

Lol this must have pained you so much
..Don't you ever play with the idea that nairoslum is anywhere near Adidas ABBA... The video reveals it all, and to think they don't even make noise about it show us how barbaric you are over meager things... Just see their infastructures and compare it with yours?.. Anyway don't you ever make it seem like every other east African nation is under your feet....ethopia is really trying , I just can't believe that their infastructures is progressing this fast(it looks so Chinese)...
Now watch the video via I am sure you didn't watch it if not you would have known your place by now

You should learn who is your mate and who isn't by 2025 power problems will be non existent, water problems oh please and guess what our tourism and mining sectors would be awake those two sectors even in 2025 will be more than the whole of Kenya's gdp mining alone will give us over 100 billion dollars with our diamonds, uranium, gold, coal and iron we will even be exporting jewelry and steel products to you once we are done with ajaokuta

You Kenyans will wet your pants we will continue updating you on our progress whilst you people choose to continue showing us westland or whatever and upper hill saying oh best skyline bla bla bla when Eko Atlantic is done you will look at the skyline and say damn it's so beautiful skyscrapers will go from there all the way to Lagos Island and yaba

Good. Your brother is just throwing tantrum for a presumption. Now, don't say we can't overtake you, the rate at which kenya is progressing is quite tremendous. I guess Naijeria too has her own projects but trust me it depends on the speed at which those projects are being conducted. Don't say we can't overtake you when your projects are stalled, don't Say we can't overtake you when your projects run out of Cash., don't Say we can't overtake you when your leaders are looting project money! We are now at position five in terms of GDP in Africa after overtaking Angola now relate that scenario bro. But waking up and say Niger will overtake Naijeria is a joke right.?
