It's not the same civilization. These are different times. Italy is not the Roman empire but yes, Trump is idiotic. Even present Ghana, is not the original ancient empire, quite the contrary!

The day Ghana gets attacked by terrorists you will feel different about Iran. Iranians are great people but their government is evil and has stifled their development with bullshit.

I would hate it if you were my friend. A good friend would tell them that war is won by capability not ideology. These guys will be turned into another Gaza. As happens all the time, the good guys will finish last. Countries that avoid unwinnable wars survive, while those who dont perish. Look at Iraq, Libya, Venezuela etc. Advise your friends realistically not emotionally. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

DJT...Donald Jesus Trump!

You probably dont have much knowledge about cars,

AfriqueDuZuid12:
consumers in South Africa pay several taxes on new cars manufactured in the country. While locally-made cars avoid import duties, they are subject to other significant taxes that form a substantial part of the final retail price. The primary taxes included in the purchase price are: 

Value Added Tax (VAT): A standard 15% VAT is charged on all new vehicles, regardless of origin.

Ad Valorem Excise Duty (Luxury Tax): This is a tax on goods considered non-essential or luxury items. It is a progressive tax (ranging from 0.75% to 30%) based on the vehicle's price, and applies to both imported and locally produced cars.

Carbon Emissions Tax (Environmental Levy): An environmental tax is levied on new internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles based on their \(\text{CO}_{2}\) emissions per kilometer. This applies to both local and imported models, with higher-emitting cars incurring a higher charge.

Tyre Levy: An environmental levy is also applied to tyres, which contributes to the overall cost of the vehicle.

Other Fees: The final price also includes dealer delivery, licensing, and administration fees.

 These taxes combined can account for a significant portion of a new car's price, often exceeding 30% for standard vehicles and even higher for premium models.

The only reason Ghana hasn't collapsed yet is due to monetary gymnastics. Pretty tragic you are the loudest on economic matters.

Nah golf is one of the world's hottest hatchback

Its in the same category as rs3, A45s, bmw m40i.... You know nothing about cars if you say Golf 8.5 is old fashioned

While you buy old second hand Hyundai Accent, Kia Picanto, and Suzuki S-Presso,

AfriqueDuZuid12:
South Africa involves significant taxes, primarily a 25% Customs Duty (import tariff) on passenger cars, plus Value Added Tax (VAT) at 15% on the total value (including duties), and potentially an Ad Valorem Duty (0.75% to 20%), leading to total costs potentially reaching 60% of the vehicle's value

Taxes is not unique to ghana we also pay them

AfriqueDuZuid12:
VW Golf in South Africa is the refreshed Mk8.5 generation

Yesterday night , I found myself in the Nairobi CBD at 7:00 pm—and what I saw was unsettling. The city was already shutting down. Shops closed, lights off, streets thinning out. For a moment, it felt less like the capital of East Africa and more like a rural town where business ends at 6:00 pm sharp.

This is not nostalgia speaking; it’s concern. Nairobi was built on a 24-hour economy—hustle, movement, trade, energy. That rhythm is what made it competitive, attractive, and alive. A city that sleeps early is a city retreating, not advancing.

What changed? Is it insecurity, over-taxation, harassment, collapsing purchasing power, or policy fatigue? Probably all of it. But the result is the same: businesses no longer see value in staying open, and citizens no longer feel safe or solvent enough to circulate at night.

Let’s be honest: you don’t become Singapore by closing shop at sunset. Global cities work late because opportunity works late. Capital flows where activity is constant. When a city goes dark early, ambition dims with it.
This should worry all of us.

A capital city that shuts down before nightfall is quietly announcing economic distress. And unless we confront it honestly—policy by policy, street by street—we’ll keep romanticizing progress while living its opposite.

Bank of Ghana, pointing towards substantial numbers, though it's dominated by used cars, with annual imports around 100,000 (90% used) versus fewer new sales. The 300,000+ figure might reflect total vehicles (new & used) or perhaps an overestimation, but growth is definitely strong for new registrations.

The 300 000 is government aims to achieve but currently ghana is at 100 000 with 90% of those being used cars!
