Why can’t Ghanaians mobile phone traders just compete, learn your market and do better.

After al,l you are all selling to the consumers who do not care who is selling as long as they get quality product within their budget, Ghana should never become a Xenophobic country, there are actually too many Ghanaians hustling elsewhere.

Say no to islam and convert to a real religion. Prophet mohammed was a sick dog. Search online for ways to move away from evil islam. You can join ex-muslim groups online and be safe.. ......you are not alone.

@Dan, Long before you and I were born, the govt of Ghana nade a law that foreigners cannot do small trading on Ghanaian soil. That is the law. Is it too difficult for you to understand? It is not about competition ir excessive profit , Nigerians , Chinese etc are not allowed to do that in Ghana. Can you get that into your head first vefore hitting your keybiard.

They are thieves and people not to live with. Recently one stole a phone of mine. They are armed robbers and think they are wiser than us. If we do not throw them out we will realise our fault later.

@Dan, I presume you are extremely pleased with the Nigerian armed robbers, prostitutes, fraudsters,etc. That said, if you cannot even understand the law that foreigners are not allowed to do petty trading on our soil, then, you are of as much use as a condom with a fat hole in it as a Ghanaian, unless you are pretending to be one. Kwaseato! As Aseidu Nketia said, it is pointless having a debate with an idiot, and you are a good exampke of a total prick.Bye!

This anti foreigners atmosphere shouldn't be entertained especially in West Africa. The Chairman of the association is not telling the truth. How can you go and buy something at 10 as a wholesaler knowing it is sold at 9 to retailers.
West Africa is too small, let us not fight amongst ourselves. I know Ghanaians doing same table tops with Nigerians. Let's rather seek integration to boost our economy. Whatever bad character these foreigners are exhibiting there are Ghanaians doing the same.

I strongly believe the Ghanaian government is failing its citizens. The Ghana Immigration Service and GRA are wasting taxpayer money by not doing their jobs. While even the USA protects its borders and deports illegals, Ghana lets Nigerians – who come under ECOWAS rules – stay far beyond their 90-day limit. This leads to them taking over our retail businesses, kidnapping our women, and running scams. The government is to blame for allowing this to happen with impunity."

It is not only at the Circle in Accra. Foreigners are roasting plantain and pounding fufu at many different parts of Ghana. The problem is much larger and more serious than one group of retailers can deal with. It is similar to Gallamsey. It requires decisive concerted action from the Authorities. The pertinent question is;.Which organ or institution of STATE should act.
