I found a society were the market is not fully utilised
rvp2018: Mad cow - this African American - like many tried Ghana - before settling in Kenya. He says difference btw Kenya and Ghana is LIKE DAY AND NIGHT
rvp2018: Mad cow. Just behind your independence square is the bola beach. Ghana has been voted severally the DIRTIEST country in dirty Africa. That is something.
That really didnt make sense but i think they used it to display their disaffection with something deep and old..
vankelvin: This particular looting has got to do with Zuma's prosecution. Why do you loot and destroy shops just because a Politician (Former President) has been arrested? I mean How?
If you are really worried about his arrest why not protest or demonstrate in a civil manner?
I am against Looting and destroying of shops any day any time
vankelvin: The guy is seriously sick in the head. He stays on nairaland and just be writing stories straight from head and his other lunatics will come and support him... Very funny
They don't even know the difference between Gold Coast Territory and Ghana so they keep making stories to please themselves.
We had --Volta Region which was then Western Togoland under French rule --Ashanti Empire ruled by the Ashanti King --Northern Territory under German rule Then Gold Coast which was later under British rule.
Ghana was formed out of these 4 different territories.... You guys really have heart to endure his lunacy.
One absurd thing about him is he doesn't stick to one argument to the end. He keeps jumping from one topic to another. He goes round round then he starts everything all over again.... Such a lunatic old kenyan.
rvp2018: You better stop eating yours. We are building a 500 acres Leather Park - so we can follow Ethiopia - and sell finished goods. We are about to ban export of raw hides and skins.
You need to ban eating of POMO
170M dollars - 500 acres Leather Industrial in Nairobi Metro - Athi River
Obakillah: The looting was about Zuma being locked up for corruption. It has nothing to do with democracy. I wonder how much democracy the British applied for your golden stool.
If you dont agree with a court ruling, protest is a legitimate option in a democratic system... and looting is an option
Zuma was imprisoned for contempt of court and not corruption
theTranscriber: trash mentality There's a difference between protests and looting Protests happen everywhere Looting is almost exclusive to south African
So killing 200 fellow south Africans is real threat to the politicians? Destroying properties worth billions of yourselves is "real threat" to the politicians?
What made you think south Africans are the most active in politics? Politics of looting?
I used to think Nigerians are crazy Until I saw the looting of its highest quality in SA And they say SA is "developed" Yet you protest loot for a corrupt politician? You cheer and love his son saying "loot responsibly" Chai
Protest mostly only degenerate to looting upon how it is responded to..
Looting is not exclusive to SA Killing by who ? Protesters do not go out to kill themselves...
Destroying properties worth billions, affect the baseline of those who finance the political class...
Democracy requires active citizens, those who are ever ready to even protest and loot to get their demands heard and met.. That is what real activism looks like, It happens on the street before backdoor negotiations..
theTranscriber: trash mentality So killing 200 fellow south Africans is real threat to the politicians? Destroying properties worth billions of yourselves is "real threat to the politicians?
What politicians hate is to see a destabilized political environment
It threatens their own power because real power comes from the people...
It makes democratic systems grand to a halt in fearof what might result
theTranscriber: nonsense Looting is and will always be a way to destroy.a protests validity
And the looting in South Africa is unrivaled in the universe
Looting communicate a message and archive quick political results
Protest is the only message the political class listens to and South Africans are the most active political citizens on the continent if they are not only second to North African countries...
rvp2018: The Gold Coast was a British Crown Colony on the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa from 1821 until its independence in 1957. The term Gold Coast is also often used to describe all of the four separate jurisdictions that were under the administration of the Governor of the Gold Coast.
The gold Coast was a tiny Fante coastal Territory, 97% of the country was not part of that
The northern territories, Asante, volta and the rest were only colonized in 1901 or 2
Mombasa was fully colonized in 1668 by the Portuguese and later the Arabs..
AfriqueDuZuid: Kenya food issues is not due to lack of land its due to utilizing most land on flowers and tea.
Semi arid/arid argument is pointless in the world of advanced farming methods like hydropholic,
More over kenya does not have water issue, check the map of kenya you will see more rivers than roads. The drought in east africa is not due to lack of water but lack of better utilization of its water bodies. Build dams n stuff
rvp2018: I know youre targetting kenya - which is more food secure - because that whole area of kenya - is semi arid and arid desert - with very few people.
So if you check data - kenya is more food secure than many countries in Africa.
rvp2018: Asante fought crap. One lone Brit soldier went to Asante Kingdom and threaten to sit on their golden stool - and they agreed to pay 76B dollars. That is why while South Africa gold helped transformed their country, Botswana diamond, Namibia the same, GHANA remain very poor, despite being endowed with lots of natural resources.
British stayed in kenya for slightly over 50yrs. The Nandi fought them for 15yrs. The kikuyu fought them for 10yrs in 1950s. British started effectively running kenya in 1900 and by 1963 were out.
Now Ghana - it appears was colonized for almost 400yrs - and become the slave market for Europeans.
Ghana was only colonized for a 56 years while Kenya was already a fully colonized territory in 1895..
