Some Ghanaians and Nigerians have lashed out at the Makola market women for preventing a foreigner from selling.

Ms Brown said:

Ghanaian traders ankasa are very wicked. I remember when the dollar was going up every day. HAIRS WERE SO FRIGGING EXPENSIVE. WE NEED THIS COMPETITION.

CoolPaul replied:

Foreigners will always discount their prices because they’re in a different country. How many people will buy the same products at the same prices from a foreigner, just a minimum?

Switchild replied:

She does the same sales here in Nigeria! She is good at giving discounts and that is a good thing!

Kwesi Fabrice replied:

Ghanaians are too wicked to each other. Especially our traders. They overhaul prices, and I am telling you this that including myself and no matter how patriotic we are, if foreigners should come in with fair prices, we shall support them n leave our very own.

I used to stay in Ghana; they are the laziest people ever. They closed my shop in tiptoe line that year because we were making more sales. If any small thing, go back to your country, but they have people here doing business without problems. That’s why most of the music artists can’t thrive anywhere unless Ghana.

Boamah replied:

Such a shame! They’ve run the economy down with their greed and now put it on display for the world to see. This has nothing to do with the fact that she’s from Nigeria but more with the everyday buyer realising how much these vendors are stealing from them. It’s sad!
They are in Ghana and don’t see how their “fellow Ghanaians” struggle outside. They don’t realise that they’ve started something much bigger; what do they think will happen now to innocent Ghanaians hustling in Nigeria and other parts of Africa and the world?
