If you ask that vlogger - he can tell you Nairobi real estate is world class - accra best is just middle to lower middle class


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH85eq7dhcg&t=331s

This same Vlogger has already told you that Airport Hills in Accra is the most beautiful and well-developed Estate he has ever shot, since he began his youtube journey... You are still here making noise

Accra real estate scene is not a joke ooo


Even the best of your citizens cant afford to live In Accra

How much more, low lives like you


The best of Kenya can only be comparable to Accra Lower middle class Areas

rvp2018:
Primitive country led by madmen. Concentrate on using the mineral resources including oil and gold to lift your poverty stricken country out of it economic morass and leave bedroom affairs of citizens alone.

Such kind of moves in 21st century is the quickest wave to isolate yourself internationally.

Then every Ghanaian will be dreaming of moving to countries that not only allow people their sexual freedoms but recongised marriages of such nature.

Pure bonobo in West African mini-zoo.

And please there is absolutely nothing African in denying people their rights and liberties!

Lunatic

Primitivity is when you continuously accept things that completely goes against your societal norms....


Dumb kid, we have already used our mineral resources to drive our entire population out of extreme poverty.... make sure you use Kenya mineral resources to get the 15 million extremely poor kenyans out of poverty...

Funny, Ghana is completely interweb with the international community and cannot easily by isolated just like how they cant isolate Saudi Arabia..

Africa has a culture and norms that are acceptable and those that are not... Just like how Europe has norms that are acceptable or not


There is nothing human right about sexual preferences

That pimitivity can only be accepted in morally bankrupt countries like primitive kenya, on a social war with itself

Finally

A bill to completely criminalise Homosexuality

And I love the current vawulence between Ghanaian MPs and UK MEPs

All of Africa needs to dig deep into their culture and know what is acceptable or not and make their final stance on this issue clear.


The hypocrisy is real

Average rent in Kiambu (Nairobi Metro) in those houses is more than anywhere in Ghana. This ridge ways kiambu county - Nairobi metro - rent 500k (5,000usd)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTBjDdd8JY0

You still dont know what average means , wow

These are still poor housing

rvp2018:
Beverly hills in Nigeria maybe. They look like middle class estates in Kenya. Certainly far from kenya's upper class estates. The rent I see would place them in middle and lower-middle class estates you find in Nairobi metro.

Try to get to Nairobi Metro level first

I guess you dont know the meaning of average


Oh please dont post these low grade semi-detached houses with untarred roads for lower income people

Drone shots of some of the most exclusive and exquisite neighbourhoods in Accra...
This is just 5 out of the numerous neighbourhoods

Neighbourhoods comparable to Beverly Hills


Residential neighbourhoods with superclass infrastructure makes Kenya look like a dustbin of untarred roads

Ghana and WFP

In the country since 1963, WFP is assisting the Government of Ghana with an integrated food security and nutrition programme which involves the private sector and aims to reduce malnutrition, improve the country’s food systems and strengthen social protection programmes.

Sho

In which way have they been assisting the gov't of Ghana?

You are desperate

WFP is busy buying food from ghanaian farmers in order to feed the 15 million starving kenyans ....

Lazy ass people

rvp2018:
While Ghana experienced droughts throughout its history, the 1981–1983 drought stands out for its severity. This chapter examines the origins of the drought and the resultant famine before tracing out its immediate and long-run consequences on a wide range of health outcomes.

As for drought - perenial drought -the three northern regions of Ghana - Upper East, Upper West and Northern Region - have it and WFP is busy there.

The only time Ghana experienced drought was from 81 to 83

For 3 good years without food production, Ghana did very well...


WFP does nothing in Ghana except to educate farmers

This in not Kenya where they are so need for aid..... In Ghana, they buy food from Ghanaian farmers to feed despotic countries like Kenya.

Ghana Famine. ENough said.

Per your definition of Famine, Ghana has never had famine

Kenya has suffered 60 years of famine

rvp2018:
The number who died is only known to late Jerry Rawling as the world forgot about you and saved Ethiopia. You have been a basket case until recently

Ghana tears - 30yrs on
https://www.theafricareport.com/6154/ghanas-tears-30-years-on/

We didn't need saving and we are not known for going cup in hand begging for saving like kenya does yearly

No one died of hunger and that is why no one has written about it...

All the death that happen during that time has been written about


JJ Rawlings was a democrats and that is why he was highly loved

is there any kenyans leader who is not a Dictator?

rvp2018:
https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/features/Lest-We-Forget-1983-Thirty-Years-Ago-273736

No where in it does it talk about people dying of hunger, famine or starvation


Keep searching the web

You will spend the entire year searching and you will find none..... I lived through 1983 and many household had an abundance of food as made easily accessible by the military....



Can you say same for Kenya yearly FAMINE?

rvp2018:
Just madness level 02.

Lunatic

You are still repeating the same nonsense since morning

You have roamed the entire internet to find something to support your theory of famine killing people in Ghana yet you've seen none

Keep roaming


Ghana has always been the magnet of development, progress and Democracy on the continent..


The fact that Kenya has been a basket case since independence until 7 years ago, does not mean every country has...
WHATABOUTISM will be your undoing


Hyperinflation, low growth, corruption and tribal killing made many kenyans poor and the poverty has become entrenched..#GENERATIONAL POVERTY

Lunatic

Under JJ Rawlings, the media were free to practise their trade and the number of media houses increased...
The only deaths that happen during 1983n were of corrupt people, smugglers and hoarders

Kenya is just like North Korea, Ethiopia and all the other despotic dictatorial nations in Africa where the media cant freely operate...

Famine this year in Kenya is going to kill thousands again just like it did last year, and WFP, China Aid and Ghana NADMO will be holding fundraising to buy food for kenyans again...... Oh poor kenya.

Ghana has never needed the world for any solution because all the solutions are just right here with us....

I want to see kenya providing food for it 15 million starving people this year.... no need to go begging WFP and the UN again , like last year

rvp2018:
Jerry Rawling kicked out the media long before it kicked out any middle class you had; and enacted a full dictatorship; The world forgot about Ghana; Nigeria to be honest; were inhuman to kick 10 percent of Ghana out of Nigeria at worst possible moment; they got straight into the gallows of bitting hunger.

That you're sucking Nigeria arse now is beyond me. FAMINE is not a word carefully thrown.

Kenya media helped Ethiopia - coz their military commnist gov like Ghana - were hidding the deaths.

Mohamed "Mo" Amin MBE (29 August 1943 – 23 November 1996) was a Kenyan photojournalist.

Amin's filming of Michael Buerk's report of the 1984 Ethiopian famine brought international attention to the crisis and eventually helped start the charity wave that resulted in Live Aid concerts.

rvp2018:
This is your empty two cent talk.

The reality is as the world went to Ethiopia to rescue them; Ghana was forgotten; a famine as devasting as Ethiopia was unfolding; without any media; with the military of Jerry Rawlings hiding the deaths and sufferings.

There was more than enough media

No death could be hidden, even during the military era, Ghana was more democratic than Kenya is today...

People just didn't die of hunger or starvation....Ghana has never been as despotic as kenya..

Keep repeating the same nonsense.... The is no equation here for you...


Kenya is just lazy, poor, starving and despotic like North Korea

The amount of food that enters Ghana food buffer stock company ware houses and silos year is enough to feed the entire kenya for 3 good years..

We are talking about every year famine in Kenya and how it kill thousands yearly.....

There is nothing to sweep under the rug because Ghanaians had abundant food from various silos which were redistributed by the militry in 1983...

I can't say same for the 15 million kenyans who faces yearly serious famine which takes away lives...
The only little hope they have is from WFP....

Ghana didn't need the world because Ghana had enough money to buy food for it entire population...
The world was more focused on poor Kenyans where fundraising had to be held yearly of WFP to feed poor Kenyans dying left right center, from starvation...

rvp2018:
We are talking about 1980s Ghana Famine that as part of your national coping strategy you're trying to sweep under the rug. It very sad that while the world was focused on Ethiopia - Ghana got forgotten - Nigeria kicked Ghanians out at worse time.

how does a book you read concern me?


you are lost

rvp2018:
It's a nightmare. It like Ethiopia talking about 1984. or Nigeria's Igbo 1970s biafra induced famine or Irish their famine or China . The most profound book I ever read is called Hunger or something - written by the Norwegian literature Nobel Laurate Knut Hamsun.

Knut Hamsun’s Hunger (1890) is arguably the most influential Norwegian novel in history – a true classic of modern literature, and a forerunner of the psychologically driven fiction of Kafka, Camus and Saramago.

Hunger is the story of a Norwegian artist who wanders the streets of Christiania (now Oslo), struggling on the brink of starvation while trying to sell his articles to the local newspaper. As hunger overtakes his body and mind, the writer slides inexorably into paranoia and despair. The descent into madness is recounted by the unnamed narrator in increasingly urgent and disjointed prose as he loses his grip on his body and on reality itself.

rvp2018:
Ghana Famine of 1983-1984 that still is nightmarish in your country to even talk about. Otherwise in terms of food security - I bet kenya despite being ASAL mostly - is better than Ghana. I bet in terms of malnutrition - kenya does better.

No one even talk about it because it wasn't a significant part of Ghana's journey



Keep betting, hoping, praying and dreaming

rvp2018:
Everyday food is scarce - famine is when people start dying from hunger - like happened in kenya in 1889, Nigeria in 1960s in Biafra region, Ghana and Ethiopia in 1980s, and Somalis recently. Irish famine, China had several, amongst many other countries.

Famine is not just a joke. As we peak they are millions in Ghana now who are food insecure - but that has not to reach FAMINE. Famine is as serious as COVID or ebola epidemics.

"Famine is not a word that we use lightly," said Erminio Sacco, a food security expert with the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO).

According to the IPC scale, famine exists when at least 20 percent of the population in a specific area has extremely limited access to basic food; acute malnutrition exceeds 30 percent; and the death rate exceeds two per 10,000 people per day for the entire population.

"This scientific methodology helps to avoid famine becoming a term misused for political reasons," Sacco said.

In Africa there have been several famines in recent decades, from Biafra in Nigeria in the 1970s to the 1983-1985 Ethiopian famine, which ushered in a new form of celebrity fundraising and unprecedented media attention on the suffering.

The last famine in the world was in Somalia in 2011, which killed an estimated 260,000 people.

All of this has nothing to do with Ghana.

rvp2018:
https://www.jstor.org/stable/722349
Probably hundred thousands died in 1984 in Ghana

Next time dont use your own brain to assume again

Lunatic
Famine is only declared when food becomes scarce... and it has nothing to do with people dying


You like throwing around empty numbers

Tell me how people will die of starvation when there was an abundance of food for them..

rvp2018:
Where did you get that? Rarely does a kenya die for lack of food. Kenya gov and previously WFP would intervene. I worked for WFP before. WFP is now pretty much out of kenya now......

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-47624616




In Ghana 3 years of drought and extended Harmattan which led to the 1983 famine, not a single person died of hunger and starvation.....

rvp2018:
Kenya drought response include assessment of those who may need food - and they are promptly assisted. Famine is when people die in thousands or millions like happen in Biafra, Ghana and Ethiopia.

Right now in Nigeria North - nobody even knows what hell is going on - because insecurity - you can bet millions are dying in North East for lack of food.

Drought. Wars and such cause famine - and you prevent famine by intervening.

So the Kenyans dying in the thousands of starvation yearly are not facing famine... er?


WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME will give you a slap very soon...


Famine in Kenya is so extreme such that, World Food Programme has to donate food yearly to reduce the number of death in Kenya...

Currently as we speak, 15 million kenyans are facing starvation...

That is more people than the population of Ghana in 1983

I hope you know what starvation is (means, the assistance doesn't reach them)

rvp2018:
You dont get it. Ghana had famine in 1983-84. Nigeria had one in 1960s in Biafra region after gov blockade leading to thousands of death. Kenya has always had robust drought response. Kenya media helped highlight many regional famines - like Ethiopia one - leading to intervention - sadly nobody remembered Ghana in 1980s.

Which robust drought response in Kenya leads 6 million Kenyans starving yearly needing food aid from Ghana, Turkey and China?
Kenya is like North Korea, both countries are extremely lazy and led by dictators

Kenya is the only country in Africa that suffers from serious levels of Hunger yearly..

They behave like slaves

Kuruptnigga:
Just30 don't mind that mad man! In West Africa we build estates to benefit our people. To move them out from slums. But in Kenya, they build to benefit their white masters. While they wallow in slums.

rvp2018:
Kenya being mostly arid and semi-arid experience perennial droughts in many parts - but it has never become a famine - because kenya gov and indeed NGOS - have always moved in to supply food and other interventions.

Understand difference btw DROUGHT and FAMINE. Ghana had a famine in 1983 - and droughts are common all over the world.

While everyone was rushing to help Ethiopia thanks to KENYA MEDIA - Ghana famine was swept under the rug - leading to catastrophe it became.

Drought and Farmine are recurring events in your country, Yearly...

Your president and other gov't official know about it....and talk about it yearly..

read for yourself

Kenya had a worse farmine in 1969

rvp2018:
I dont think you even understand what a famine is. Ethiopia had many famines. Ghana had a famine so bad - and before that was hell -with failed economic growth - leading to many ghanains bailing out to beg.

You became such a nuisance - Nigeria decide to expel you in the middle of a famine.

And that was indeed horrific

You are deflecting to Ethiopia

I said, Kenya experience farmine every year with 6 million Kenyans at risk of starvation.... That is terribly horrific for any human society...

No wonder Humanitarian organisations have pitched camps closure and use pics from Kenya to convince the world to donate more money...



Ghana had an abundance of food because of huge food import during crop failures of 1983...
So Ghanaians did not starve to death

Accra named as one of the World Greatest places

Keyword is Creativity





Accessing the Ghanaian capital has become even easier this year, with last fall’s debut of Qatar Airways flights from Doha and new thrice-­weekly United Airlines service from Washington, D.C. And there are plenty of openings to help fill an itinerary: ADA, a contemporary gallery that launched late last year, showcases the work of emerging creatives—such as paintings by Nigerian artist Eniwaye Oluwaseyi and South African artist Zandile Tshabalala—from across Africa. A new architecture school, the African Futures Institute (AFI) debuts at the end of July, with a focus on cultivating regional talent. The AFI is the brainchild of Lesley Lokko, the founder and director of the Graduate School of Architecture in Johannesburg, in collaboration with award-­winning Ghanaian architect David Adjaye. And next year, the Pan African Heritage World Museum is scheduled to open. It will house archives, exhibits, galleries and a theater, with the aim of being a key destination for visitors interested in connecting with Africa’s history and its people’s heritage. —Rosalind Cummings-Yeates

rvp2018:
1982-1983 - Ghana had a famine- so bad - nearly all Ghanaians emigrated to beg for food as Nigeria . Kenya has never reach there. The last famine in kenya was 1899.

Ghana's 1983 population was 12 million

About 3 million Ghanaians were already living in other West African countries plying their trade....

Ghana had a famine because Agriculture failed but thanks to the brilliance of JJ Rawlings, there was an abundance of food in the country except for the fact that traders haul them to sell at astronomical prices


Kenya has always had farmine, year after year because kenyans are lazy and dont grow anything...

rvp2018:
If were engaging in intellectually stimulating conversation, it would be interesting.

Kwame Nkurummah went communism/socialiasm as soon as Ghana got independence - went on to invest in Volta dam - Ghana became so bankrupt - Nkurmah was kicked out by 1962 - and died in the neigberhouring country.

Ghana would for the next two decades grow at 1-2 percent - ending in 1984 famine - Ghana would continue in the same morass - for I think another decade until recently.

Now remember this Ghana that was called GOLD COAST - but that did not prevent Ghana from mess that saw Ghana Bags (even in kenya - those bags are called Ghana MUST GO bags ) .

Move on to Kenya. Kenya got independence in 1963 - as direct colony - the Kenya civil services were one with London civil services - budget was from London - and name it.

Kenya as preparation took 800 to US - and USSR also tried to take many kenyans to East German and Russia - to study - in preperation for independence.

We got nothing from Ghana - in human resources or other resources.

Now kenya grew very fast - by making critical decisions 1) Capitialism 2) Kenya realize having no natural resources - it resolve to invest in HIGH POTENTIAL AREAS - HIGH PAYBACK - this called 1970 sessional paper or something.

What happens - kenya got into very high growth rate for more than 2 decades - of average 7 percent.

But in end - kenya LOW Potential Areas - Turkanas, Somalis - about 2/3 of kenya land mass - got almost zero investment - they became poor and hungry like Ghanians.

Kenya decided to invest in high potential areas and ignore or marginalized huge part of kenya.

What happeneded - those low potential area remained poor - and the high potential areas - were undone by population.

Anyway this waste of time - you're TOO obtuse.

Ghanaians were never poor and hungry and never have we.

You still haven't told us why Kenya has been poor, hungry and starving since independence.

Why all the bloody wars in Kenya and try not to put the blame on Turkana......Ghana had it own Turkana (Northern Ghana)
Nkrumah being so smart, decided to make education free for them.. Today, Northerners are the most educated group of people in Ghana.


Nkrumah was never Communist and that is why Ghana achieved so much growth and development with his 7 years and 10 years development plan...Ghana was the most developed country in SSA under him and highly industrialised...

This strong development and growth is the reason why Kenya has not been able to overtake Ghana..... also, Ghanaians are highly enterprising than Kenyans.

rvp2018:
You had several coups - that is war. You were all over Africa escaping Ghana. Your country became broke in 1962 long before kenya became independent...and from 1960 to 1985 - I think average growth was 1 percent . Kenya on the contrary was growing at 7 percent on average from 1963 until the Oil crisis of 1984. There was brief one year in 1972 Oil crisis - but Kenya was growing as fast as Asian Tigers - only problem our population was world fastest growing at 4 percent plus. By mid 1980s - we realized we had been doing zero work - and we began to address our population growth.

Please do not be a joker - Kenya pre-independence was RUN BY BRITISH. This was a direct colony with 200,000 white britons - settled in 2 million acres of land. There were few Asians (indians).Why would British - hire uneducated Ghanians in their civil services?

After our independence - we allowed the British to choose to remain or go back - about 20,000 remain - majority run to South Africa, Zim, Australia and some back to England unable to countenance a black rule.

Those who remained- continued in civil services - as educated Kenyans slowly filled their slot.

This is the first time in history that bloodless coups have been described as a war, do you know what a war is?

Explain how kenya was growing at 7% and still couldn't catch up to Ghana from the 60s all the way to today, economically.

Explain why Kenya was so poor such that it because the global HQ for aid delivery...when ever people wanted to talk about aid for Africa, they took pics of starving kenyans....

Explain how Ghana got broke in the 60s yet it was still paying civil and public servants working in Kenya, for kenyans

The British were busy hiring Ghanaians in 1880s because of how educated we were, by the early 1900s there were so many educated Ghanaians everywhere and that is why Ghanaians were running kenya during pre-independence and after.
