 Posted: Wed Sep 13, 2006 12:35 pm Post subject: A CALL TO ORDER: SPEAKING FROM NIGERIA |
 |
|
I am the cheif Naija hater on this site and i will like nothing better than to stuff those boastfull no good wannabe Ghanaians in a pot and stew them slowly in their own juice. I have mentioned to you earlier that I am presently in Nigeria pursuing some work related matters, whilst here i have observed things that have made me weep. We Ghanaians need to stop asking Kuffuor for hand outs and get more agressive and change our future. If we don't we will be crowded out of existence by Nigerians and that disgusting behemoth of a country of theirs. I am presently in the Central Business District of Lagos and there are 15 roads being either built or refurbished complete with green areas, being done not by the government but by the private sector. There is major work being done in the other business district caled Victoria Island, roads being dug out and being totally rebuilt, still done by the private sector.
As we speak Nigerian banks are gradually creeping into our economy, and what are we doing about it? These Nigerian banks mave so much money it is sickening, i observed the extention being carried out to their international airport in Lagos, by a private individual, complete with an amazing hotel and all sorts of things that i wish i had not seen, and it is all funded by ONE bank. There is a company called globalcom which is entirely nigerian and they are giving MTN a run for their money, Is this happening in Ghana? There are so many PTO's that are owned by them it is shocking, Nigeria exports so many goods to our nation and yet the only Ghanian product i have observed in Lagos is Ahomka.
We watch their movies and they dont watch ours, we listen to their musicsians and yet they only know VIP. They are fast developing new parts of theis Lagos city at a trate that you cannot imaging and they are doing it for themselves. What is wrong with us? Why cant we do the same? Why are so so placid? At the company i am consulting for, all the computers are made in Nigeria by a company called Zinox, which i found out is owned by a Nigerian and he wants to enter our market, (why Ghana why). At their shoping malls, they are not allowed to import or sell any products that have locally produced anlternatives and this had led to the likes of Lever and co to bring their local products to the level internationally in every way. Their local designers outsell the foriegners. I even had to purchase some $400 blazers from a designer called Dakova, and for my wife i bought some dresses from Tiffany Amber, yet our youth will wear DKNY and feel proud. We have a lot over them no doubt, we are not corrupt, we are decent and we are richer in general. But we must keep track of all that takes place here so as to counter them.
I weep, but i know that our day of dominance is coming. Take heart my people, for we shall arise like a phoenix from the ashes and our star will be the brightest in all of Africa. |

| If you weep so much like you claim, why don't you sit your azz in Ghana and help the economy rather than running to Naija. You have issues bro. You need your head checked. |

My thoughts exactly! So so mouth mouth from the likes of him and Addoforever.
O'whene, if you think Ghana is so bad, why don't you sit your azz down in Kintampo and help build a road or two? Nigerians are building theirs and minding their own business, we too we for mind our own damn business and stop the yeye envious stup!d remarks from both sides. Both countries are way off from being financially and economically independent countries.

| If not for corruption and ineptitude, Nigeria would have FAR left other African countries in the dust in terms of development. The natural, human, economic resources are there to make the country a first world country. Bad leadership, coupled with cronysm and corruption have seriously grounded the country. |

GOOD ONE THERE. I AM NOT A NIGERIAN, *BUT I LOVE THE SPIRIT OF A NIGERIANS* . IN GHANA WE DO ALL THE TALKING WHILST NIGERIANS ARE DOING THE WALKING. IN GHANA WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN HARD CORE KNOWLEDGE LIKE DEEP MATH, HALF OF THE PEOPLE IN GHANA ARE EITHER ACCOUNTANTS, BANKERS OR TRADERS.
WE KNOW HOW TO SELL WHAT OTHER PEOPLE PRODUCE VERY WELL. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT A CHANGE IN MENTALITY THEY SAY YOU ARE FOLLOWING WHITE MAN TRADITIONS. WHO TOLD YOU KNOWLEDGE HAS COLOUR?
IT IS REALLY SAD. ANYTIME YOU TELL A GHANAIAN WE HAVE TO INVEST IN SOME HARD CORE VENTURES  |

Thank you bonzion, you are the only person that seems to understand my views. If we do not shape up the whole of West Africa will becomre the United States of Nigeria, their products are all over our country, their movies are moulding us into pseudo Nigerians, their banks are moving in fast into our economy, their traders are overrunning us. tell me what are we exporting to Nigeria? What are we doing to grow? We have less corruption yet we still look at Kuffor and cry like babies for everthinh, the Nigerians have nothing, no government no structure and yet they are making things happen. We must start a crusade to change our placid ways. |

What you mean to say, no doubt is that our leaders have less money to embezzle. |
