Good one .. well done

vaxx:
this is a report from IMF. The report compiled by experts and released in April this year says Ghana's recent power crises affected the country's economic growth.However, the IMF described the economy's overall performance as inspiring with projection of a 7.7 percent growth by 2017.The report says economic growth was likely to expand in 2016 to 4.5 percent from 3.5 percent recorded last year amidst power shortages andadoption of fiscal consolidation measures.The IMF said Ghana's current per capita income was also higher than that of Cote d'Ivoire's $1,314.7 and Senegal' $913.0 as wellas Kenya's $1,338.5.It placed Ghana in the Medium Human Development Category with a score of 0.579, which was higher than that of Nigeria at 0.514, Kenya (- 0.548), Senegal (- 0.466) and Cote d'Ivoire ( - 0.462).

Did you get your projections from Wikipedia?
Ghana growth forecast is around 7% for this year .. which is above that of Kenya 6% .. all things being equal, your GDP in figures will be higher than hours given your population is about twice that of Ghana ..

1. Kenya's GDP nominal was $69B in 2016, how can it be $65B now yet we've had a positive growth? Kenya's GDP is projected to be $75 billion this year.

2. Ghana's GDP is not $70 billion. You had a -ve growth in 2014 and 2015 dropping from your highest ever GDP of $47B in 2013 to $37B in 2015. Ghana is projected to hit $42B in 2017.

you need to double up in your chase .. Ghana is growing at around 7% this year ... https://www.ghanabusinessnews.com/2017/01/25/ghana-third-among-top-10-estimated-african-economic-growth-performers-for-2017/

mtis:

i know but we are coming for you

I left out Madagascar eventually .. that was an error

fanficgirl:

Why would you put Madagascar in front of Ghana?

This Oxygen guy .. lol

shervydman:


hahaha...........they wasted their bundles too; buddy. ok, don't bother.. but, its alright.

Bros why? .. it hasn't come to this ..

O0XYGEN:

See mumu.
Were you not the guys who started comparing your slummish country to Ghana?
So who is the attention seeker here?

Lol ... Shalom

shervydman:


yes, we know..............its okay.

Bros take it easy .. don't hit below the belt

O0XYGEN:

Instead of you to be fighting for the food aid from Ghana to your country ,u r rather here making unnecessary rantings.
Do you know the number of people who die in kenya out of hunger and starvation on daily basis?

Bros take it easy .. we can discuss issues in a friendly manner

O0XYGEN:

What is mombasa?
Abeg stop comparing your kenya to Ghana.
That's not even logic.
Like seriously?
Is it the kenya we see on tv or another kenya?
Kenya is popular due to its massive slums,poverty and yr runners.
There's nothing special about kenya .
We only see famine and starvation.
How can you say kenya is developed than Ghana.
Is kenya all about Nairobi?
Shut up there

Why not stay and create opportunities for fellow Nigerians .. don't be selfish .. think about others

Marcelo290:
If I was running away from my country, Ghana wouldn't be the safe haven, am talking of coming to join others to take over your economy and businesses, I have finally yielded to the plea of your Vice President, so expect me soon, make sure you reserve fine babes for me lol

It's not about feelings​ .. it's all about assessing the progress of your peers and knowing the one ahead of you so you work hard to be the best or with the best

NairobiWalker:


Going by 2017 estimates, the GDP per capita of Kenya is higher than Ghana's. Nairobi ranks as a more prominent city in Africa and the world than Accra. Mombasa is a bigger and busier port than Tema and is definitely wealthier than your second largest city Kumasi. I wonder where you get the feeling that Ghana is more developed than Kenya to say it with such finality. Stop being delusional like your Nigerian brothers.

All hail Nijeriya

freshest4live:

The Nigerian economy is the 4th fastest growing in the world.

At 125 trillion cubic feet, Nigeria has the 7th largest gas reserves in the world — after Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United States, Algeria, and Venezuela.

Yes Nigeria is truly the giant of Africa despite the fact that it's got giant problems.

are you saying it is only Nigeria that sent troops to those countries?

You should be telling this to those Zimbabweans and Namibians you helped to liberate not Ghana that had lead the way in the independence struggle ..

*GeoPolician* .. what's that? .. please help me understand what you studied in school ..

Marcelo290:
Why won't you be confused? when you had an 'F' in both government and history. for your info, you are chatting with a GeoPolitician, so I guess you should know who is in the best position to speak the fact, I won't waste my time to school you guys always since google is always there for ignorant and uninformed lot's like you, but let me give you little tips to research on, Ghana gained independence in 1957 and Nigerian gained hers 3 years later in 1960.

Played major roles in decolonizing Zimbabwe in 1980, also Namibia from SA, we played major roles and deployed troops to Liberia, Congo e.t.c during their wars, of recently Gambia. Even SA is not an exception, Reason Nigeria was the first place Nelson Mandela visited after his release from prison, you can make research on all these.

i agree with you Achimotan .. his lines go like Petrodolla or Oxygen .. Maybe it's him .. lol

achimotan:


Reminds of me petroldollor and oxygen who are always in the insulting mood.
Aden koraa

key areas such as economy, education, demographics, health, energy, transport and communication, governance, security ..

forgiveness:


What are your parameters of research?

bros .. take it easy

emeka1101:

See mumu. I guess the marselo u r using is also a nigerian name abi? No wonder u idiots are treated as slaves all over the world.
Humans from better countries are talking and an animal from a useless underdeveloped zoo like nigeria is also talking.

After NEPA has frustrated your life .. you want to run away from your country .. bros stay there and build the country for the future generation ..
that's a more worthy course .

Marcelo290:
Lol yet you bear a Nigerian name?? in fact my own tribes name for that matter, that alone has disqualified your claims, people tend to subscribe to success, so I guess that's the case here... oh! I remember, the recolonization trend between the master and her slave lol..

Cry no more boy, I understand your pains... it's gonna be fine, I would soon come over to Ghana to take over the remaining areas left

you know the issue here .. you mentioned that Nigeria provides 60% of resources but omitted the fact that same Nigeria accounts for over 50% of the population in the ECOWAS region. let's learn to make full disclosure of issues and stop distorting facts. Anyway, why will over 50% of the regions population be contained in an area less than 20% of the regions land mass?

Which countries did Nigeria help to liberate from colonial rule? i know most African countries gained independence in the early 60s after Ghana had set the stage for independence in 1957 .. .. unless you mean Nigeria helped other countries gain independence same time Nigerians were fighting for their own independence .. i'm confused here.

Marcelo290:
I thought you claimed to be a Nigerian? I forgive your lies anyway, now let's continue..

The very thing that makes Nigeria giant of Africa is just the size and population, to some extent, it's influence in Africa. The economic and military strength is not to be left aside, Nigeria played the most role for the liberation of most African countries from the shackles of imperialism and colonialism, it also helped to restore relative peace in most of these countries, this is what earned her the tittle from the British government and the world beyond.

Take a look at ECOWAS for instance, imagine if it would had/have or still exist without Nigeria, 60% of the resources used to run the organization is provided by the Nigerian government, but would you all see this? We housed you Ghanaians when your country was in shambles, I remember having some Ghanaian teachers in primary school then, but now you all go about to insult and make mockery of Nigeria and her problems.

Mauritius, Botswana, Cape Verde and South Africa are the countries ahead of Ghana ... the rest of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa rank behind Ghana in development. Some by small margins, others by landslide .. ..

forgiveness:


I will not lie, Accra looks more developed, organized, beautiful and bigger than Nairobi.

I happy that many West African countries are also doing well.

So, in your findings, list all the countries Ghana is ahead in Africa.

Very funny comment ..

Just30:
true
I like your optimism

Unfortunately, for every Botswana there are seven Nigerias

What makes you think so .. what are your reasons ?

TayserMahiri:


Ghana's per capita is better, but any liberal minded person would consider kenya to be more developed than Ghana (and Nigeria).

We have our own issues .. the thing is that it is becoming rare to find an insightful Nigerian to have discussion​ with .. I find your arguments​ lacking in content

popizaino:
@ forgiveness just leave them to keep denying obvious facts.they know the truth but will never accept no matter how you try to explain but funny enough when they are in the midst of themselves without a foreigners they will gladly succumb to facts that stare at their faces.

Bros .. it's not about forming big boys .. I've done some research on a number of countries on the continent ..I did compare Ghana to other African countries .. so I know those that are ahead of Ghana ..

forgiveness:


Chai! Ghana self don dey form big boys.

It is good we have Ghana, IV, Senegal etc as neighbors. It defines how the western African countries are far more developed and advanced than the Eastern African countries.

To crown it up, Lagos is the regional headquarter of international organizations. More powerful than that of East Africa

I know Kenya is making great strides but my research puts Ghana ahead of Kenya in most development indicators

NairobiWalker:


What do you mean when you talk of development? There are many aspects Ghana is ahead of Kenya but Kenya beats Ghana in most. Infrastructure, Tourism, Sports, Education etc. Ghana could be having on average better living standards than Kenya though due to the 80% arid region of Kenya that pulls the average living standards down.

On those areas Kenya is ahead of Ghana .. can you butress that with some relevant content?

For the amount you withdraw outside Nigeria , your naija bank will source the dollar equivalent and transfer to the corresponding bank in the country you're making the withdrawal from because that foreign bank doesn't transact in naira .. better still you buy dollar from your naija bank who then transfer to their corresponding bank in Ghana for it to be converted into the local currency, Cedi .. hope you will understand

forgiveness:



Are those Nigerian banks registered under the business laws of Nigeria or Ghana?

Are they controlled by the CBN or central bank of Ghana?

Please, teach me.

Kenya is ahead of Ghana in what ? . I think Ghana is a step ahead of Kenya in terms of development.

Nev92:

Hahaha! in your dreams. Kenya is way much ahead of Ghana

I think you lack knowledge when it comes to international transaction .. you have a naira account with a Nigeria bank and then travel outside Nigeria to withdraw funds .. who sells you the forex ?

forgiveness:


No I withdraw from Ghanaian banks.

You know what they do .. when you check your balance GTbank will use the official exchange rate to convert your naira thereby giving you a much bigger açcount balance .. then when you withdraw, they'll use a rate close to the parallel market rate to charge you for the withdrawal .. they will pocket the differences for themselves .. this is what happened to Naira cards used outside Nigeria before they were banned .. Naija banks are the biggest scammers .. their Godfather is their CBN .. they're all a bunch of crooks

Just30:
He said he use a gtb card
So yeah his own banks don't have confident converting naira and he still hasn't learnt his lessons

The naira is supported by a fixed exchange rate mechanism . The CBN has five different exchange rate for serving different markets .. That's why it was stable over the years ..
allow it to float like it is done in any modern economy and let's see it real value ..

forgiveness:


Doing me a favour since 2000 - 2017. I see.


Naira was not stable in 2000 till date.

Tell me another sweet lies.

Is rather the naija banks that engage in profiteering by applying different exchange rate in their favour .. for all the withdrawal s he did in Ghana .. technically it's those naija banks that exchanged for him at those rates ..
his own bankers do am 419 .. lol

Just30:
no its not because the person did you a favour he wasn't willing to bur the cost of volatility. Pure business

And the bank had to change it at a rate the can use to buy the dollar.

when they say common sense is not common to common people .. you think it's a joke?

emeka1101:

When the same nigerians are dying in poverty and famine?
Even Common electricity, you guys don't have and are here talking about building a satellite?
Is this stupidity or just plain foolishness?
