He stated that the bone of contention stems from the fact that Nigerian traders engage in quick business practices by making small profits and turnover while their Ghanaian counterparts believe in making bigger profits which in turn make it difficult for them to sell.

The Igbo trader said that while they realized they were owed a lot of money with the traders relying on their own capital to run their businesses, he also revealed that Ghanaians had demanded $2 million from them to allow them to become retailers in Ghana.

When asked by the activist why Nigerians sell goods at cheaper prices compared to their Ghanaian counterparts, the man explained that it’s not possible to do so without covering costs. He mentioned that there are borders to cross, and they have to pay for their goods to enter the country. They also pay taxes in Ghana, so it’s not feasible to run businesses at a loss.

VDM then addressed the issue of promiscuity among Nigerians. Speaking to another Igbo trader, he asked if it was true that Nigerians are the most promiscuous in Ghana. The man denied the claim, stating that both Nigerians and Ghanaians visit call girls for enjoyment. When asked by VDM to survey those gathered, most of the men raised their hands in agreement.
