Before we talk about France's influence in stopping the currency (which was unfortunately true), let us talk about the English speaking West African countries. Why can't we come together to implement a single currency?
The reason we can't do that is because we are not sure of the modalities or what this currency would be based on. Gold? Cocoa?Cassava? It definitely would not do us well if based on crude oil.
We also need to improve big trade (beyond the unrecorded informal trades) amongst West Africans first. These are the issues. France is not the biggest issue in my opinion although they are a problem that needs to be dealt with (removed).

The English countries do not trust Each other and they have every reason not to because everyone has been fiscally irresponsible.
That's why the organization has no use and must be disbanded

GeneralDae:
Crumble because of Niger, Mali, and Bfaso? I don't think so. Mauritania left before, they came back after 19 years.
But I agree, ECOWAS needs to be reformed, more self dependent, and completely free of France/USA influence.

Because it is a useless organization and everyone will eventually see it.
If for 20 years you can't implement a single currency because of France's influence over the majority of nations, th n there's no need for the organization

ECOWAS might finally crumble

Oh my god 😄😂

Ghanaians here will make you doubt and question your reality. This is Kigali by Steven Ndukwu.

This is Accra by thesame YouTuber

and then Abuja

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLR4uaOi3Wo?si=lbCP10sD-j8-_a-U

Everyone can judge for themselves. God knows I tried 😂😄

Have you asked yourself why he said The Accra communities he video are the best developed he has ever seen in both East and West Africa?

😂🤣

vankelvin:
Stories all the time

Next will be your Ghanaian girlfriend or driver

foolish no dey finish in nigeria

you know them too well

vankelvin:
I watched a video where nigerians were complaining that about 60% of houses in the main city of Abuja are unoccupied whereas majority of workers in the city live in the outskirts of the city.

So the entire Abuja is a scam
The real nigerians live in the slums

A noth Korea you mean? (Ghost village)🤣😂

theenchanter:
those at the helm of ur affairs know what's up, not a sewer rat like urself.

🤣😂 yeah ...he just flew to London for medical check up

GeneralDae:
You must be high on some cheap weed 😂😄

Kigali beats Accra in quality of roads and buildings as well as the planning and layout of the city. Kigali also have a more efficient transport system, good sewage system, and also more organized.

Even just Ashaiman alone which is a tiny community in Accra has almost the same length of sewage network as all of Kigali 🤣😂

Yes Kigali has an organized transport system, as efficient as Accra (not even possible).

Accra has more paves roads than all of Rwanda ( you can talk about road quality when your roads are paced)....


Anyway, this was a distraction 🤣😂
You're probably ashamed of Nigeria hence hiding behind Kigali

Appisko:
Dont allow him to deviate from the topic of discussion Abuja is a glorified slum so called planned city 🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣😂

To Nigerians, Abuja is all about the FCT area. Meanwhile more people live just outside the FCT area than inside it

GeneralDae:
Electricity consumption and water supply are not what's used to say a city looks more developed.

For instance, Accra is a bigger city than Kigali and has more people, so the argument of electricity, water consumption is useless as long as Rwandans have good enough electricity and water for their population. So this your criteria makes no sense. It's even better to use the number of skyscrapers, good roads, real estate valuations, transport system (including trains), sidewalks, parks, beaches, organization, cinemas, gyms, financial institutions, quality of buildings, etc..

In all, good roads and good buildings as well as the layout of a city are the first things people speak about when they talk about
development. Others come later but these are for first impressions and it's what I'm talking about here.

and that is why you're comfortable living in a city without water or electricity supply (those kinds of cities will never be as developed)

You can check the difference between South Korea and North Korea at night ...it's the difference between Kigali Abuja on one hand and Accra.


And that is why I didn't just pick Kigali but picked up the entire Rwanda 🤣😂

What is good enough electricity if you can only put up one build ? 😂🤣😂

vankelvin:
Just what I spoke about
What these mumu people think about is numbers/quantity and not quality nor ratio

For a country of over 233million people you have just 170 universities and you are happy declaring it.

Even Ghana with just about 34million people have over 66 Universities

Do your own calculation and tell us which country has enough for its population

the number does not even matter, the size and infrastructure

GeneralDae:
Best hospital/Best hospital infrastructure. Kini big deal? What makes a hospital to be ranked the best if not the infrastructure and medical devices it has? You are splitting hairs here. Just answer the damn question if you can.

your question is already answered

Ghana leads in both Education and health care infrastructure

[quote author=Winneepye post=128153974][/quote]now that you've found your fingers, you can go up and answer the infrastructure questions 🤣😂

GeneralDae:
😂😄 delusion. What does Accra have over Kigali?

Every thing

Accra electricity consumption alone is what the entire Rwanda demand is.

Accra water supply alone is greater than the entire demand of all of Rwanda

I can go on and on and on but these are things you already know

GeneralDae:
It's what I'm asking you. What country in West Africa has the best hospitals or school infrastructures in West Africa.
What do you think the rankings consider if not infrastructure amongst others?

There's nothing like having the best hospitals ....you either have good hospital infrastructure or you don't.

In West Africa, both Education and health care, it's been Ghana

Winneepye:
The best marketers are Ghanaians they know how to package 😄

You don't need marketers when your infrastructure speaks for itself and that is what Ghana has got going for itself

GeneralDae:
Can Accra be compared to Kigali?? 😂😄

Accra is not even close. Kigali is one of the best cities in Africa.

it will be and insult to Acrra to be compared to Kigali

GeneralDae:
But you spoke of Ghana having the best of these things in West Africa not Accra.😄😄

Okay so tell me what Healthcare infrastructure are you talking about?

Good to know you and other Ghanaians here like baby arguments. Not just that, but the Ghanaians here are painfully stubborn in their wayward arguments 😂😄

Yes

What is a health care infrastructure? Of course I'm referring to hospitals 🤣😂

GeneralDae:
Stop deceiving yourself my man. No fact there.

Education.. Ghana has the highest ranking school in West Africa, true. But Nigeria dominates the list of the top ten (not just one school ranking high). Nigeria has 170 universities spread across 36 states.

Healthcare..I don't know where he got that from because the rankings I see puts Lagos as the 8th best city in terms of Healthcare in Africa. The other cities higher than Lagos are in South Africa (with about 5), Kenya (1), Morocco.

Social Amenities..

Sports...Where is the data?

Entertainment and Leisure...For him to include this category shows he is really high on something 😄😂

Now Abuja has become Lagos ?

We are talking infrastructure and you say rankings 🤣😂


I've resolved not to have babies argument in 2024, pls

vankelvin:
nigeria's GDP per Capita (PPP)is low because they eat human meant and egusi soup in slums and look forward to buying babies from the nearest baby factory

that's simply mean 🤣😂

Let's stick to facts when ever the move to innuendos

Ask them the simple hard truth and watch the pain in their hearts.

Winneepye:
Stop packaging Ghana everyone knows it is a village.

I love villages , they are always developed than every other slum country in West and East Africa 🤣😂

You guys need to develop those faster and stop making noise.

I love the fact that you lots don't have answer for simple facts. Never ever make a development Convo without facts again

vankelvin:
Your village is far better

Abuja is just like a cow dung, strong on the surface but soft on the inside.

A 40 year old planned city should not look like Abuja?

and they don't understand why wode Maya compared it to Kigali 🤣😂

That was an insult

Winneepye:
The Gdp of Ghana is low because they will rather eat banku in the village and wait for their wives to feed them than come to the city to hustle.

the GDP of Nigeria is about 6 times that of Ghana, explain why Nigeria export less than twice what Ghana exports or why it collects only twice the taxes Ghana collects.🤣😂

Is it because the Nigerian GDP is a fraud overestimated?

Productivity over GDP

vankelvin:
You go explain explain taya but no evidence

🤣😂

Ask him if his village Abuja has water supply and how much of it do they receive and see him fumble

The reality is, Ghana remains the best and most developed country in west Africa and every other country is playing catch up .
This reality will continue to strike pain in hearts

Education
Health
Social amenities ( Roads, electricity,water and etc)
Sports
Entertainment and leisure
And the rest follows

vankelvin:
Abuja in it's glory

Can't Wait to see how it will look in it's sixties

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIN-RgcxLvQ?si=590LAgyPMX9x33Uc

my village is better than this 🤣😂

GeneralDae:
Well that is your opinion. Wode Maya uses the word development at the beginning and ranks Abuja his most developed Nigerian city. So he was clear on what he was talking about in the context of Nigeria and Ghana. I'm sure if he was asked to compare Abuja and Capetown for instance, he would have put some qualifiers to say Capetown is more developed but Abuja is quieter and stuff like that but in thinking of Ghana and Nigeria, it is clear he considers both Abuja and Kigali as up there.

You can disagree with Wode Maya but it is his opinion.

Also can you give me the data that shows Accra has more paved roads than Abuja? Because that seems unbelievable.

Typical noise

When it came to the details, you finally chicken out 😀

GeneralDae:
Nah, this is the full context below. What that guy did was cut and join.

Wode Maya started by speaking of "development and everything". He was even asked before this, what city is the most developed in Nigeria? and in his opinion he ranks Abuja no 1 ahead of Lagos.

He then goes on to describe Abuja and why he feels so. He listed things like beauty, organized,serenity, traffic, everything on point and even infrastructure at the end. What else do you think he left out in the entire context?

He didn't try to say Lagos is better than Abuja in some aspects but Abuja is better in serenity only. Nah, rather Abuja is his most developed Nigerian city. Period. It can only compare to Kigali aside Kigali's cleanliness. This means to Wode Maya, Kigali is more developed than any Ghanaian or Nigerian city aside Abuja. Simple as ABC. This is the quote in full context:

" I saw Abuja is different in terms of development. I think they took their time to develop Abuja. So when you go to Abuja you'll see that everything is like on point, everything in Abuja is on point like the road system, the traffic system, and everything. It's not like Lagos, if you go to Lagos, everything is here there. But Abuja is like organized, I don't know
how to explain like I don't know any city in Ghana I can use to compare Abuja, no no. It's like well organised, let me say Abuja is something like Rwanda Kigali but Kigali is cleaner than Abuja but that's the only thing I would say, Kigali was cleaner than Abuja but Abuja was beautiful, green, it's like a green city, infrastructure"...

Because Abuja is not quite there at Accra's level yet.

Since we all know that Kigali is quite underdeveloped just like Abuja, there's quite an understanding as to why he compared both.

Infrastructure wise, Abuja does not have as much paved roads as Accra, neither is it greenery than it as the Green city index has shown, does not have as much water supply or electricity supply as Accra, does not come close to Accra on health or sporting infrastructure or entertainment infrastructure.

You see where I'm going .....now you can continue to make noise
All the above are based on facts

IGpro1:
you do know that what 1$ can get me in Nigeria is far cheaper than what I'd get if I spent same amount of dollar bill in Ghana.

and that is the reason he's saying, you and your bro can't afford it

ProblemChild1:
Thank you for this video. @Vakelvin this is the video I'm talking about there's no city in Ghana he can compare it with Abuja in terms of cleanest, Infrastructure, development. He even said Abuja is a green city. Hope you will shot up now you idiot

In the context of it serenity as that was the pretext to the conversation.

Hope the English is not to big for your pea size brain. 😂🤣

If Lagos of 18 million people can't get 200 million gallons of water through their pipes per day, what makes your think Abuja will be able to pump 150 million gallons of water as Accra?


Never ever compare your undeveloped villages to Accra, they are not in Accra's league yet.

ProblemChild1:
This are one location in one street. I'm showing you different Neighbors in Abuja from Zonal areas to Jabi to Garki. You're showing me one location in one street.

I dare you to show me open gutters in Abuja

🤣😂 now you're making excuses for why Abuja is underdeveloped.

As everyone can see, they are videos of different streets and different locations Roman Ridge, Ridge and etc

Even in the videos you posted, there are many and you close your eyes as if not to fall into an ocean
