Ghana’s economy grew by a whooping 20.15% in the first half of this year according to Economy Watch.  Economy Watch tracks economic statistics including GDP growth rates across the world from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) This year, Ghana’s nominal growth rate in the first half put it ahead of many several emerging economies, including China, Qatar, India, Angola and many others.

Congrats! to our beloved neighbour, Keep it up!!!

How sustainable is this? Is this a one-off thing from their oil production coming online? If so, neat, but ultimately not that groundbreaking.

Impressive!

hopefully cocoa would not take a backseat cos of the rent seeking culture that's about to hit the Gold coast.
Ghana is a manageable country anyway,administratively.

Congrats to Ghana.

Come to think of it; when your GDP is about $32 Billion, how difficult is it to improve that by 20%? Again, this is not to belittle Ghana's achievement in any way. It takes a lot of hard word, dedication to achieve this.

I just hate it when people try to put Nigeria and Ghana on the same pedestal in terms of growth and achievements.

the thing tire me o. Compare Ghana to lagos or rivers state not Nigeria.

^^^Rivers State Economy is growing at 30%.

I understand their stock market is roaring at the moment, the best return in the world after mongolia and east timor, why ours have finally caput.

I give Ghana my blessing. Grow and continue to grow.

Learn from Nigeria's mistake. Take God you're not [b]a [/b]Nigerians.

^ Seems you have been getting some good ghanaian c/o/c/k

SEFAGO:

^ Seems you have been getting some good ghanaian c/o/c/k

So that's your final assumption?

Well you have been raising your legs praising all things ghanaian so there has to be a reason.

Innit?

And the only reason you could come up with was a Ghanaian co/ck?

I love Ghanaians.

Seems you have been getting some good ghanaian c/o/c/k

That kind of thrash talk does not belong to the politics section. I hope the lady concerned has alarted the moderators.

What a gentleman, thank you.

Ileke-IdI:

What a gentleman, thank you.

Nah the guy is what they call a bebelube+Gbeborun. I*d/iiooot  cannot even spell

I was just wondering why you have been supporting all things ghanaians. Now that you have confirmed my suspicions, I am gonna keep on lurking.

Anyhoo they should enjoy things while it lasts. Been to ghana and still a bigger shi/t hole than Nigeria

Ileke-IdI:

I love Ghanaians.

Yet, you dislike Nigerians with a passion. The Ghanaians that you love, actually loathe Nigerians and you shamefully give them your full thumbs up even when they talk trash about your own tribe in a song. Its funny because you would never allow a fellow Nigerian to talk trash about the Yorubas like I have watched you do with the Ghanaians.


I had to take a second look that it was actually you who was giving them support in their tirade against Nigerians and even Yorubas.

You decided to [i]confirm [/i]your suspicion by make a sexist comment?
And here I thought you had a higher IQ. Let's pretend we never held this conversation.
I expected such nonsense from imbe.ciles like fstranger.

All this one na sentiments o.
I've yet to meet a Ghanaian who hates Nigeria like the media promotes it to be. Every heard of harmless rivalry such as the one between N.America and Canada?

When did it become a crime to love Ghana and hate Nigeria? Not pleading the fifth to the latter tho.

@OP
Nigeria will soon take up the lead with her new found Islamic banking.

So, how come when its Igbo's making statements about Yoruba, you don't follow the same logic?


If its "harmless rivalry". Would you still have held the same view if instead of a song made about Nigerians, it was instead a song made about Ghanaians by a Nigerian rapper?

If your whole attitude would have changed on that simple fact, then you you carry some self hatred as a Nigerian.

Its not a crime to Love Ghana and hate Nigeria, but if a Nigerian is the one carrying that attitude then that person is quite shameful imo.

See me see trouble.

Kila gbe kile ju?

What is this? Dude why are you turning your boxers into a g-string?

So because of a song, I must hate Ghanaians? I'm not going to apologize for not following your logic.

@seafargo

I have made less inciteful, sexist statment in my time here and the moderators came like a ton of brick warning me of a ban, I think your foul statement should not be encorage in our forum. Such statement mirrors the rut in our society hence the degredation we have in Nigeria today. Ghanians are hitting above their weight and rightfully so,  I enconrage them to continue that quantum leap into el-dorado, since "big boko haramic brother and islamic banking crazed nation called Nigeria" does not know her left from her right.

First of all if I get banned on NL, I dont give a shyt. Go and get a life mate.

I am just here to look for trouble not to engage in a dialogue .

And you decided to look for trouble in my way? Wrong move.

Abeg, listen to KnowAll. You're too old to be this senile.

Ki lo n se e?

I was just greeting you ooh, the only way I could. See how you pour insult on me sef, just because I was making an innocent enquiry sha.

Just shut up. As if I dont know your quarrelsome nature.
Enjoy your greeting, I'm off to something more time-worthy. Adieu!

None of the Ghanaians I know in RL have any problem with Nigeria. I kind of feel the same way Ileke-IdI does. . . it is a harmless rivalry like USA vs. Canada or something.

Just lil bro (Ghana) hating a bit and jealousing big bro (Nigeria).

Then again, what do I know? Maybe the Ghanaians in the country actually hate Nigeria. My sample size is somewhat limited.

Of course nobody should hate anyone because of a song, and I'm sure you know that was not what I was saying. Maybe you only operate in extremes. Love or hate with no in between.

Its just very disjointed when you have such a different attitude when it comes to Nigerians. I doubt very much if the song was created by Nigerians about Ghanaians you would have termed it harmless rivalry. You would have been here defending Ghanaians against it.

I am a woman not a dude btw, so my "g-string" is appropriate.

I am a woman

Ohhh. Okay.
