Ghana has been criticised for the way it has treated Nigeria businesses operating in Ghana

(www.abndigital.com)
West African community has criticised Ghana for the way it has treated Nigerian businesses operating there.
Ghana wants the Nigerian business setting up shop there to pay 300,000 US Dollars threshold deposit and must employ no fewer than 10 Ghanaians before they are issued with a business licensed.
Some of the Nigerian officials said this was against the spirit of brotherhood and the ECOWAS protocol.
To unpack all this we are joined from our Lagos studio by Opeyemi Agbaje, CEO of Resource and Trust Co.

@Me50059 Nigerians will soon get there "Nigerians must go bags" since you idiots think that is sooo funny. Ghana has to most foreignors out of the whole west africa, because they see it as a safe haven. No one wants to do business in Nigeria. lol Obama even said Ghana is the gateway to Sub-Saharan Africa and others should take notes.

@Me50059 Nigeria can learn from Ghana on how to have a stable government and how not to kill your governors and how to keep your tribal wars to yourself. You guys have an abundance of issues. You guys need to do business in Ghana. You cant do it in your own country because its unstable. And if not Ghana you guys would go to some next west african country. So stop making it seem like Nigerians are doing Ghana a favour, plus you guys cant even get clean water and electricity for yourselvles.

Do not forget that Dangote is a Nigerian and he has several manufacturing plants in Ghana including cement manufacturing. Zinox is a Nigerian computer manufacturing company and they have manufacturing plants in Ghana creating jobs for thousands of Ghanaian just to mention a few. I hope that when you talk about Nigerian criminals you will also be smart enough to mention some of the Nigerian wealth builders in Ghana.

Nigeria’s problem is mainly rooted in politics. Nigerian citizens are paying for their Government’s strong stance against the West during apartheid and for the fact that the rest of Africa were and are still too poor to gather there own news, rather than relying on western propaganda as a news source. Do not forget that Nigerians are the most generous, hospitable and friendly people on earth.

The people that will suffer more will be the very poor Ghanaians who would have gained employment and learn valuable skill-sets from the Nigerians. And for those that are forming negative opinion about Nigerians based on western press; do not forget that without Nigeria, there is no other country in Africa from East to West, North to South that can challenge the rest of the world. Nigeria’s problem is mainly rooted in politics.
