You are not serious, please before asking a question like the one you started, please do a research first, people are here trying to guide you through and you are here claiming to know, who told you HTML, CSS, PHP and the rest you mentioned are programming languages. Please learn a little before asking, it will go a long way to help.

Html is not a programming language. Html is for structuring a web contents and linking pages. Html is like a blueprint telling a browser , how to render a web page. CSS is for styling a webpage. While Ajax is for updating portions of a webpage without reloading the whole page. (Site like nairaland frontpage updates itself without hitting the refresh button) ajax is like an offspring of JavaScript. These 3 are not programming language per say(Html, CSS, Ajax) Though if you want to go into web development. U must learn them. But they are not programming languages.
JavaScript and PHP(for scripting) are programming languages.

Sapeleboy911:
Any programming language can make you a qualified programmer. Be it python, Java, C#, etc. They are just tools in a programmers tools box. Each has it strengths and weakness. Take for instance a mechanic has a screwdriver, hammer, spanner etc, in his tools box and each of these tools has specific functions. The hammer might be used to perform certain tasks that the screwdriver or spanner can't perform properly. And it is vice versa. There is nothing like one size fits all in programming.
As for certification in programming. Your certificates are almost worthless. Employers want to see what you have done or, what you can do with your programming skills. Don't focus too much on certification. Rather focus more on gaining practical skills.l

ncpat:
Any language you are good at can make you a programmer as long as you can deliver any Job given to you but to be a qualified programmer, you have to be certified by a recognize institution or body, company usually employ programmer base on their own recognized programming language except you have a published idea and they need it then they will adopt to yours.

'You're from south-south' my black ass!

Dude, you're NOT from south-south given the kind of lying and pathetic anti-Igbo sentiments you express! The only set of people that despise Igbos this much are Yoruba and core northern muslims.....specifically Fulani! There's loads of you shameless impostors on this forum, trying to sell a false narrative!

You kid no one....not even yourself!

Short answer:
In terms of norminal value, yes but in terms of economic value, no. In terms of normal value, the Ghanaian Cedis is even greater than the Japanese currency but this obviously has no implication on the economy. Both the Japanese economy and the Nigerian economy are still far ahead of that of Ghana. In summery, Nigerians have higher purchasing power, the living standard in Nigeria is higher and inflation is still lower in Nigeria.

Long answer:
Let me try my best to explain this further. You see, there was a great inflation in Ghana up to 2007 where cedis was almost worthless. People had to carry heavy notes about and calculations were hectic. At this time, not only was 1 Naira equal to 150 Cedis (it was actually more but I chose 150 for ease of calculation), 750 Cedis (5 Naira) could not buy anything at all due to inflation. So even though 750 Cedis was 5 Naira, it still could not buy what 5 Naira would buy in Nigeria. Salaries were also higher in Nigeria. So Nigeria generally had higher purchasing power. Now Ghana redenominated in July 2007 making 1Cedi (10,000 old Cedis) to be equal to 1 USD which was about 300 Naira (rounded to the nearest 100). While this made their life more convenient in terms of money management, it does not in any way affect Naira or change the fact that Nigeria still has higher purchasing power. This is because the 300 Naira (which then became 1 Cedi) could still purchase more than what 1 Cedi could buy. This is still the case till today. Therefore, while Cedi has more nominal value, Naira still has more economic value.

Clear?

Sicilyjoe:
Poster u need to see this too,

WoundedLamb:
As at that July 2007, both had the same value. Of course, just like many other African currencies, cedis hasn't really been doing so great against the USD so presently, the value has also gone down a little (1USD is now more than 5 GHc). So the new 1GHc may not be able to purchase a foreign good it could purchase back in 2007 but this second part has little to do with the denomination cause even if they were still using the old currency, it would have still had the same effect.

WoundedLamb:
Same old story.

Cedi was redenominated (10, 000 old cedis = 1 new cedi) in 2007 thus making 1 cedi to be 0.9USD (all the way from 10,000USD). Does this mean their economy was better than that of the US then? No! That doesn't necessarily reflect the strength of the economy. Nigeria could easily knock off zeros from their Naira (say N100 will be N1000) and match up but does that really solve our economic problems? If N1000 could purchase only purchase a fowl and after redenominating, the new N100 can still purchase only a fowl, then it's just an internal thing and doesn't reflect or change the true strength of your currency in the international market. If you were earning N5000 a week and still earns N500 a week after such redenomination, how has that really helped you?

Redenomination is a money management strategy aimed at ensuring portability, security and easier calculation. It doesn't reflect the value of the currency. What matters is the value (what money can buy) and the power (how much of it you have).

Thanks

imagine o. just ordinary Ghana down there!! Nigeria don almost finish. na small remain

LabuleofNigeria:
Very soon, nigerians might be travelling to ghana to hustle. Omase ooo...Mighty falls

Sammiel:
Where were you when the Ghanaian government through their central bank made an adjustment to their currency value by removing certain number of digits? Obviously, the upward trend could not have happened because of their trade or forex gains in such a very short period. It was the same thing Obj reportedly wanted to do but our law makers kicked against the idea and that was the last time we heard about it.
