Where are the Kenyans?

Is it that the economic hardship in that country is so biting Kenyans have disappeared from here? Like Ruto like Tinumbu.

😂🤣

Probably can't afford data ....things are hard

Thank you bro

you're welcome

@Just30

Any idea on this project?



This one 👇

This project you asked of yesterday is the PURC office building

Clifton Homes has added to it portfolio of properties at the Airport area.

Ghanaians simply do not have the financial capability to erect skyscrapers. Stop the lies against innocent Ama. Had it been what you are saying is true,trust me,Accra would have been filled with high-rise like Dakar since they can't go higher to skyscrapers level. You all would have maximised your peak heights to build a well levelled city of about 10stories competing with each other for space but no we see bungalows, and abandon low rise everywhere.

Is it building permits that makes all these low rise uncompleted since ages?

Something is wrong with you.....You don't really know much but you always want to talk.


Picture number one ....The La towers were stopped by AMA and the geological survey department because the building is just sitting on sand and threatened by strong waves, the developer falsified papers and so the building has to be demolished. ( if they didn't have money as you claim, they won't even start)

Picture 2 - This is a Colonial era hotel from Kwame Nkrumah's days, ships crew used to lodge in this hotel during the 60s. It was closed down some years back as it became unsafe and placed on a list of buildings for demolition.

Picture 3 - the owner of the property is dead and his kids have decided not to continue with the property. It was going to be the biggest hotel in Takoradi.

France is doing everything to keep it two pilars of strangulation in west Africa ie Ivory Coast and Senegal

See what they've done

I'll check it out when my Sat comes up

Lol. Lagos alone would compete with Ghana in terms of health services and health infrastructure (whatever that means). It is a home of many private hospitals and there is hardly any advanced medical infrastructure you won't find in Lagos. So what do you mean by health? The largest medical center in perhaps all of Africa today is being built in Abuja (started in 2021).

In terms of education, I don't see why you say Ghana is doing better. Maybe Ghana would compete in education at primary/secondary level but definitely not at the tertiary level. If you say infrastructure again (like the last time), what exactly do you mean?

Even Borno state which was war torn between 2009 and 2017 has so many public schools spread across with a few state universities or maybe you say this because KNUST is beautiful. I don't get your parameters clearly though.

continue lying to yourself 🤣😂

popizaino:
The way your other fellow citizens talk with utmost arrogance and ignorance about what they know little or nothing about here, warrant the denigration from other posters. I wish they had something to show for this arrogance.

That aside,Tudu to lagos is barely 800ghc,you can make the trip and experience Nigeria 🇳🇬. It might not be the best in times of basic social amenities, like adequate pipe born water and 24/7 electricity supply but trust me,in terms of physical infrastructure, there is so much to see.

But before you make the trip try and ask your mum about Kano in comparison to Tamale and see her response

if water and electricity were the only physical infrastructure that Ghana had an advantage in, like Ghana won't be so far developed and leaving Nigeria in the dust.
We are talking about
Health
Education
Transportation and etc 😂🤣

Now rehearse and rewrite your note for your dusty slummy country has been so faaar left behind.

Nothing in Nigeria impresses a Ghanaian, on most occasions we are just shocked at the nonsense that comes out of your country.

All these gibberish for what exactly? You see why I always refer to you as an animal

So you posted this Rayfield resort for what exactly?
Is it for the resort buildings?
the road or the water body ?
no normal thinking person will post this here.
You suppose to hide this rubbish mumu


Sometimes I wonder how a lunatic like you joined this platform cos you ain't normal upstairs .

See your so called Rayfield Resort in Jos
very slummy and dirty with rusted roofs tuer

popizaino:
Shut up! You annoy me greatly with your cheap lies. It is why i always avoid discussion with you.

Which place did i post? Isnt it weija area where you have west hills mall again? The thing with you is that i might even try to post pictures directly from there with my phone and you would still deny it.

You see you know nothing?

West hills mall is not in Weija , even if you had said SCC or Broadcasting, you would have been more correct.

West hills sits on SSNIT lands and if you know the area, you would have known that SSNIT paved their roads as far back as when I knew the place in 2009 before the mall construction.

Go do a survey of Jamestown, ashaiman, even Sekondi houses and come tell us how many of them have toilets. But then again these are slumy areas, so... with the exception of Sekondi, which is not a slum but which still has a 'toilet problem ' from what I'm learning

A significant number of Ghanaians use air conditioning? Are you serious? Majority of us live in the 'local' areas o, not the estates. And I've lived all over the place from Tema, Sekondi Takoradi, oda, Volta, central region etc and can literally count the number of private homes with air-conditioning on my fingers. What are you talking? Our compound houses where people would use all their money for rent advance and electricity and have nothing left over for furniture, TV, fridge is where they'd be having money for air-conditioning?

You always exaggerate with your Ghana experiences I don't know which part of Ghana you live in

I've lived in Sekondi-Takoradi for more years than you and Toilet is not something you'll miss.

I was in Jamestown for Kenkey fest and other event and have done several research on living conditions there.

Now again you want to lie. Even the poorest person has tv in his home and it is not something you can even miss because you'll see the tv poll and likewise a fridge and this is the major reason why people are living beyond the lifeline limit to which they don't get subsidy.

Don't use your poverty to make general sweeping statements.

I have a home in Tema and a home in Sakumono just opposite the maritime university. I have a family house (flat) in Takoradi Tanokrom with 40 rooms for each family member and another in Apowa. I have a home in Kasoa, another in East Legon and I'm trying to acquire two more from my friend who was has a family property in Labone and another in Roman Ridge

mdntiri:
True. I grew up, did my primary education in the twin city of Sekondi-Takoradi(about our 3rd city). My parents were transferred there. Every place we lived, about 9, except 2, had toilets. And these were not zongo areas. Some places would have space for toilets, they were never provided. And my friends had same problem. I know every corner of the town so this's a 'common' feature. Hopefully things have improved

Now I know you're lying....Sekondi-Takoradi people that their eyes have opened like something?

I lived there for about 4 years and every single one of my colleagues house had toilets ....Every part of market circle, Chapel hill and the rest

but seriously Nigeria is one funny country oo😂🤣

You have oil, Someone has managed to put indians together to build a huge refinery and he can't get fuel to refine hence the refinery has added to the problem it was supposed to solve because it has to import crude with dollars you don't have.

ridge hospital now almost in good shape


You should know that ridge environment is actually competing with cantonment . That is a good development .

I need the hospital actually completed .

Someone has squandered or misapplied the 80 million dollars meant for it completion and no questions has been raised on it even at public accounts committee

vaxx:
You mean the la hospital ?

Greater Accra regional hospital

vaxx:
And one wannabe Ghanaian is screaming the govt is doing nothing ....

Ignorance might not be a Bliss in some occasion....


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzOa0GGsFBA?si=R8ugDTy6rRsZAQxl

all I care about is the awesome hospital opposite it

This is money wasted when it could have been used to o expand this hospital further.

popizaino:
I know both places and i know the one that has semblance of a decent place but definitely not West hills,weija with the red earth everywhere you turn to.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhH5EJ8lDjs?si=cA6zm2KvvQ4ZoVGw

you definitely don't know west hills cause all the roads there were paved before even construction. Just the best part of Ivory Coast to this normal looking part on the outskirts of Accra


Next joke

mdntiri:
Same electricity that we play hide and seek with? That I know people who'd even remove their outside bulbs so they can afford prepaid? How many of us even use air conditioning in our very hot climate? There're different types of Nigerians and I know Nigerians who pay 'top cedi' for stuff here. I've Nigeria in laws and they pay 200 cedi every 2 weeks for prepaid for example. Aden?

Yes Nigerians may eventually run Ghana down with crime, dru.gs etc BUT they'd give us good infrastructure, beautify our spaces etc. We should learn to beautify/properly lay out our spaces and someone like me i won't complain too much

Small small we're getting there, where properly laying out our spaces would become commonplace. Growing up I thought it was normal to have houses without toilets, or roads without sidewalks because I didn't see these. We can't be having these basic problems in this modern era. What stops a DCE/MCE from insisting people have toilets in their homes? Let's do better, Ghana

quite a significant number of people use air-conditioning. It may be something special for you like it was 20 years ago but not now when even zongo boys have them.
For this reason, most people are above life line consumption.

Good you said you know them in Ghana and not Nigeria.
200 cedis is like the normal now in electricity consumption for 1 bedrooms. Now ask yourself how many Nigerians in Nigeria can pay between 30,000 and 60,000 naira for electricity every month.


If Nigerians can't provide good infrastructure in Nigeria hence the country is far behind on infrastructure, what makes your think they'll be able to build infrastructure here ? Have you even seen Nigerian spaces and how awful they are (no pun intended)?
You sound funnier than ever

You were probably living in a zongo because those are the only places where houses didn't have toilet.
Not in this era where even village houses have

popizaino:
Quit the joke. You cannot compare your dust fill environment to this.

Waa see ...it's like you enjoy joking

Even Ivorians would compare that place to the beautiful last communities I mentioned but you're here making noise.

Tema community 3


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n97wtb7uwQA?si=jSoKdwpkrLKPl48m

popizaino:
Stop the joke. It's becoming stale.

Does the West hills area, bortianor ,red hills look like a joke to you ?

Or does the old Tema communities seem like a joke to you?

I'm speaking as someone who has stay in all the upscale areas of Abidjan

popizaino:
Outside Plateau,Abidjan still look very decent not dust fill like some capitals.

It looks like the old communities in Tema
Not even Ivorians will make the arguments you seek to make.

Nigeria needs your energy to develop from the dust it's in

West Hills area is far better

GeneralDae:
Lol. Is this a joke? Let me leave out Nigeria here (so as not to appear biased) but can Ghana compare with Ivorycoast and Senegal?

Ghana is better than both in everything you can think off

mdntiri:
The points you're raising are exactly reasons why Accra, Ghana should be doing wayyyyy better than we're currently doing. You don't agree? Because the ADVANTAGES we enjoy as a country are ENORMOUS.

There's no BRT system in Ghana. We couldn't implement it. It requires creating dedicated roads on both sides of existing roads for ONLY BRT buses to ply to reduce traffic etc. we couldn't do it. We did trotro with the BRT buses, made losses because they're big and stop too often so people reverted to using the old smaller faster trotros and most of the BRT buses we imported are rotting away

I can raise several points but it'd only prolong my comment. Sometimes I say give Ghana to even Nigerians and see how they'd turn it around. If we were a serious country we should be exporting electricity to Nigeria by now.

That you and a lot of Ghanaians are 'content' with our mediocre performance is why we're where we are, when we can EASILY achieve more and become the eldorado we wish to be.

Ivory coast suffered 2 civil wars, 2000 plus people died etc BUT they still held on to their number 1 cocoa producer tag. If it were us?... 'small' bawku conflict we can't solve, now the factions have resorted to shooting innocent passengers in bawku bound buses. imagine we had a boko haram? I could go on and on. There's a lot of nothingness/bareness/lack of leadership in our spaces, so don't act as if we're making anuly significant progress. With the ADVANTAGES we enjoy as a country, we should be doing wayyyy better.

Go and see cocoa Produce Buying Company PBC, it's bankrupt and it's assets are being seized. Aden? We can't manage anything?

And this 'mediocre' mindset reflects in even our black stars. See how other countries are 'killing' themselves to do exploits for their countries .But black stars would be lethargic, play as if there's nothing at stake etc. we'd be a goal up or down, Richard ofori would be so slow to start the game, wo dwene ho a wontease

Etc etc. 'poorer' Senegal, go and look at the wonderful things they're doing. Doing BRT, running ELECTRIC train, building a new city etc. Whoever is running their space is visionary, and you can see it in their doings.

Etc etc

Nigerians cannot afford to pay the electricity bills Ghanaians pay.

Give Ghana to Nigeria and they'll run it down to make it another Nigeria

Appisko:
No one is saying Ghana is all good but you cant be comparing with countries we are doing better than
Africa infrastructure development index 2022
https://infrastructureafrica.opendataforafrica.org/pbuerhd/africa-infrastructure-development-index-aidi-2022
Ghana 81.14
Nigeria 69.22
Kenya 58.73

this was quite helpful


Anyone who wants to make any sort of argument can refer to it

GeneralDae:
The English countries get along well. I don't know about Ghana, but we have very good relationship and political cooperation with Liberia, Sierraleone, and Gambia.

it's not about diplomacy....it's about board room agreement

There's no trust, if there was, ECO would have happened

AskiaHarem:
Actually the English countries get a long just fine with the exception of one large village.

That's just vibe

ChaosMagus:
See lies, when did Singaporeans had to work for years without pay? Tell us which year was that?

Even if they did whatever capital they raised will not be upto 10% of whatever resource Ghana had then... so whats our(Ghana's) excuse?

Again why should Ghanaians have to go through austerity to help build the country when the leaders are living lavishly. Why must ordinary citizens always be the ones to sacrifies and not the leaders.

Singaporean leaders were in the ditch with their people, working hard to salvage their situation. The same can not be said of Ghana leaders. You keep making excuses for your misleaders. If the leaders can show us their own sacrifies, the ordinal citizen will find no problem also sacrificing.

Go and read Lee Kuan Yew books

ChaosMagus:
When I tell you the ofri jato didnt do anything significant in Ghana, even though he was in power the longest, you were insulting me left right and center. You know within your heart the man was a total bomb and a curse onto Ghana, but hypocrisy will not allow you to say the truth because you love him. You say "Africa does not have the skin to make the kind of sacrifices Singapore made to get to where it is" but Rawlings had the skin to strip innocent women naked, whip them and parade them on streets of Accra. God save us all from hypocrites. ....Spits...

Let me tell you those who were a curse and total bomb for Ghana.
It started with Kuffour and Akuffo Addo have come to continue. All the problems Ghana had faced over the last 30 years stems from Kuffour.
Yes Rawlings used the laws to do that
