Hi friends. I'm new to Nairaland. Can I get some love......

welcome to news wonder, where most of the news are not pleading to read

To me, this whole Ecowas thing isn't working for Nigeria. Maybe we should review the possibility of leaving ECOWAS because Nigeria alone as a market, makes up about 60% of the entire Ecowas market, based on population and by GDP, it's even higher. All these smaller countries have more to gain from us than we have to benefit from them.

Let's really reassess what works for us because this whole West African relationship isn't working well for Nigeria.

Notatribalist:
You go there all the time,have you stay there or engage in any business there?don't speak on issues you have no details about. Haven live in Ghana for many years I can tell you without missing words that the reason Ghanians want Nigerians out is because they feel Nigeria retailers have crash the price of their goods..Ghanians believe in making huge profit from one product,why Nigeria believes in little little profit some that the market can go fast,this is why they are angry with Nigerians,nothing more.

I engage in business there and have stayed for prolonged periods of time.

You might have some valid points but so do the Ghanaians. Nigerian yahoo boys are all too visible in Accra. They make no attempt to hide their criminality.

In separate letters to Buhari; Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama and Lai Mohammed, Obiano said Ghana was not being fair to Nigerians, given the major role that the late Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, played “in reshaping the history and destiny of Ghana.

Nigeria always grandstanding to look important!

It’s Ghana who rather worked to shape the destiny of Nigeria !!

As a senior brother after Ghana’s independence it worked with the young Nigeria state and sent an army of civil servants to help Nigeria in its transition to independence peacefully!

Not only Nigeria , Ghana was and has always been there for many African countries and they always remember and show respect , except arrogant loudmouth and lawless Nigeria !

If we leave ecowas these rubbish news you are hearing now will be like a tip of the iceberg to what will happen, imagine beefing with other border countries when you are all under one umbrella how would it be like when you now separate.

yes,the Yahoo boys are there in numbers.in 2014 I ask a Ghanian friend why they were not being arrested and I was told because the then government of mahama claimed the money the Yahoo guys brings into the country help boost the economy, hence his government was not hard on them..So who do you blame here?.

The police is there to deal with such people, you cannot allow them to grow feathers and turn around to claim something different.. While I blem the Yahoo boys I still think Ghana government have their share of the blame.

This is what happens in a country where a large number of youths openly endorse crime and worship criminals!
Crime has become a legitimate means of income in this country, as a matter of fact, they’ve rebranded it from crime to hustle..

We will continue getting this kind humiliation from all over the world until something is done about it..

Yes, the government is bad, the economy is also bad but we can actually do better!

Protect the image of this country..hustle legitimately
#saynotocrime

Send dem home .. our mentality is worse . If you can not abide by the rules of your host , go back home .. simple
I hate Ghanaians with their competitions against Nigeria but many Nigerians make it easy for them to perform their evil act ... GO BACK HOME IF YOU CAN NOT ABIDE BY THE RULE OF YOUR HOST .. they want a better country but they don't want to be discipline...

[/b]We as Nigerians can not deny this.
If we want to be truthful to ourselves
We see thousands of substandard/fake products o
in our country everyday.
[b]Never knew the sets of criminals and fraudsters have taken it outside the shores of the country.
They even make fake Kasaprenko, aka Alomo bitters!
Those are the kinda bad Nigerians that give our darling country bad name abroad.
May those kinda fraudsters be exposed and deported ASAP. [/b]


[b]Na dem!
Dem know themselves!

Truth is bitter,
but we will keep hitting y'all heads with the truth.....as often as we can!

Say no more!

Oga according to Ghana minister of info, others including Ghanaians are involved too not just Nigerians but your hate won't let you read so you hurriedly move to comment to attack a tribe as usual.... Fake products are sold in many countries worldwide and Nigerians didn't introduce it to the world so stop targeting a tribe

They think everyone has lost their dignity , the funniest thing is if you're not walking their way they see you as dumb ...

Okay, so what would you suggest cos to me, if we claim to be under one umbrella and the country that has the biggest share is being ridiculed continuously, then what's the benefit?

Nigeria alone is about 200m while the rest of West Africa (15 countries) make up just about 180 million. That says a lot.

If I close my border to them, knowing fully well that I have the biggest producing and consuming market, then they all would have no choice than to respect me.

There are millions of West Africans in Nigeria, undocumented, working and living in Nigeria without harassment from Police. Instead we fight ourselves, Yoruba vs Igbo vs Hausa... As a country, I think we need to re-analyze what works for us o. There's a reason US doesn't open it's borders to Mexico without a visa, whereas Mexico allows Americans enter cos they know they're coming to spend.

UK is pulling out of the EU cos they are the ones benefitting the least...

abduljabbar4:
I'm sure few of them iare northerners. Yet the useless ipob youths say that we are the ones destroying the image of the country.

I hope they will still come here to blame Buhari as usual. You have successfully convinced every African out there that the average Nigerian is a scammer/drug trafficker. Even Zambians now see us as criminals and the people solely responsible for this are the ipobian developers. They have even started conducting robberies in Dubai and when the criminals are caught, they blame it on jealousy and the Nigerian government thousands of miles away.

Kenyans, South Africans, Europeans, Asians, etc are all jealous and lazy people.

lol. That is what the useless people always say. Everybody is lazy, jealous and envious of their flatheadds

Samfloxin:
I don't pity Nigeria,it is turn by turn. That year when we were sending Ghanaians home,if they told us that a day would come when Ghana will reject Nigerians with much alacrity and impunity,we would not believe it. Is it only Ghana? no is the answer. We are being rejected all over the globe. An average Nigerian in this generation believes that it is justfiable to make money even if you desecrate another man's country.

It was retaliatory policy. Ghana started it as far back as 1960s

If we have an ingenious government with competent people, we can dam any water body if we want without depending on any West African country. See the miracle of Netherland and Dubai where natural water bodies were dammed and managed and artificial water bodies were created. This is 2020 not 1920.

AbuAeesha:

Nigeria dont have the capacity to deny Ghana electricity,if we surely do,it will lead to an ugly scene.giving them electricity doesnt mean we are helping but also protecting our interest,as Ghana could also decide to dam their own part of the river niger,and u know what that means

This closing of border issue is the backbone of this problem.
That is the main crux of the matter..... No doubt about it!

*They said we are the poverty capital of the world.
Our Darling Daddy decided that we should just close our poverty stricken borders to the outside world so that we can manage on our own.
Suddenly, scarcity hits Benin Republic, Togo, Niger.
Demonstration hits Ghana, Vietnam, Thailand and other envoys all came calling.*
*Their economy depends on our poverty.
They are begging the most corrupt nation on Earth to do business with them.
They have no buyers for their commodity.
In our neighbors domain, scarcity hit them hard.*

It turned out they need us more than we need them.
We have all it takes to stand alone as a nation.
All we need is a plan and a willing leader.
God bless Nigeria*


WE continue to STAND WITH THE BORDER CLOSURE,
It is for the good of all sane, honest and hardworking Nigerians.

Again, God bless Nigeria.



Correct niggarrr.
You are mouthed!
Cheers!!

The only truth you have ever said since you join Nairaland

i know they will come here to defend them dem full here on NL ..
If a Ghanaian commit crime in Ghana , let Ghana treat them as dey want na their citizen, you as a foreigner if you commit crime , dey should send you back to where you come from..Shikena
You don't go constitute nuisance in another man land and still tell them how to react ...

The main reason Ghana is behaving like this is because of that rubbish Ghana must go stuff that happened some time ago, they are hurt and haven't forgiven us since for it, we need to meet with them and bury the hatchet, another problem too is the way the FG treats foreigners, with more respect than we the citizens, it's really annoying, they are too afraid to show them whose boss but when they do they go too far. But you see leaving ecowas it would bring unnecessary border issues, remember the bakassi issue that is still haunting us till today.

What is the volume of trade between Nigeria and Ghana ?

Very insignificant, so it makes really no difference if even you have a population of 1 billion .


Moreover, Nigeria has over 50 products banned from entering Nigeria from Ghana !

Ghana is still going, regardless !

Nkrumah u most be a fool, have u seat down to think that Ghanian Ladies are the most proustite of this generation, have u ask urself how most of ur criminal guys demolishing our hard working Nigerians in ur country to steal their goods, a childhood friends of my that was born here in Nigerian defraud up to 8 Nigerian friends here in Nigerian and disappear to Ghanan to aide becos the no that the country abode criminal, now u are here open ur stupid mouth to blackmail Nigerians that they are prostittute, they rubber's in that ur stupid country. Nkrumah, listing and listing clearly to me that no amount of ur blackmailing, no amount of ur frustration on my Nigerian people in ur country would make Nigerian to open that boarder to allowed those ur intoxicated products entered into Nigerian here ENOUGH, stupid idiot boy.

Deveropers have done it again. Awon omo yiiibo yii naa ni.




You people no dey tire ni?

MajorOvakporaye:
Na brown roof girls go plenty pass among the prostitutes

Your mama, sisters and daughters beg to disagree.

Your God sef said differently. I am sure you typed this through tears.

Nigeria's own too much

Welcome home

/
Even if your country is in the remotest part of the world, if you keep it safe and clean, immigrants will come. How many Ghanaians have ever seen $1m in their lives? But they are making their country habitable enough to start making such demands.

The issue is that Nigeria has failed to improve her infrastructure and make Nigeria sec?ure enough and conducive to habitate. Why would any sane being migrate to Ghana to pay such amount in the first place? With half the amount, you can buy permanent residence through investment in US or Canada. I would be damned if I even pay $1000 for business permit in Ghana.

People are successful in Lagos, Kano, Nnewi, Onicha, Aba, PH and other commercial cities in Nigeria. If Ghana is not conducive, leave Ghana. It is not rocket science. People should stop this nonsense idea like they have no place called home.

It’s affecting Nigerians who have spent years and years abroad. Innocent Nigerians over there doing business, you know the increase in crime rate because of this?, you know the hunger and starvation they will have to face, your fellow Nigerians, if it were you in ghana and your business was closed, will you be calling him darling Daddy, even Mexico nd USA still open borders even with the drugs.. see your darling daddy no know book, he and his crew are economically illiterate, they are not business men, they lack the negotiating skills to run a recharge card business. Talk less of a nation, why Donald Trump and others call him lifeless, he is not in touch with modern day world, I am sure you know except you are an illiterate like him, that’s why we are here in the Uk taking racisms from this white folks, when we should have a working country, a country YOUR DARLING DADDY have been in the corridors of power for over 40 years, as a military governor head of state, nnpc , petroleum minister, President. In life I am sure you know, NEGOTIATION is vital key. Creating enemies is never a key. Have you heard South Africa close it borders on other South African nations?? Diplomacy, not gra gra. I am sure you need to go read economics.

Let every Nigerians in fuvking Ghana leave that country let the boarder remain close. Hungry will kill them

But the history of Ghana must go actually started with Ghana evicting Nigerians before we took that step to retaliate... They just choose their convenient side of history to perpetrate their intolerance and jealousy for Nigerians... Read up on it bro, Ghana expelled Nigerians first!
