rvp20182: Safaricom - Michael Joseph - did not invent anything - all they did and do is to study how kenyans innovate around their problems and offer solution Long before Mpesa - Kenya were using airtime as a currency. The airtime would be redeemed for money. Kenyans are very innovative and igneous - and hardworking. No gold, no oil. nothing - but kenyans is kicking your butt so hard. Safaricom is now worth 13B dollars - making revenues nearly 3B dollars - and profit nearly 1B dollars - by studying kenyans habbits and monetizing it.
Heck Accra is many years from Mombasa. Ghana that has minerals and all that - but still looks whack.
surplusk: You think Nigerians see Ghana anyway better? your Dog eat dust in Ghana I can assure the same Dog you have can feel better when it arrive in Nigeria.
Shambolic shithole like Accra. When village dwelller like you arrive a city you will feel the life of a city I only understand a village boy crying from the forest of Accra you need a life.
funny enough
My dog is well fed than the lion in your zoo
Maybe you guys have been feeding your lions with dust, after all, human beings in Nigeria dont have food to eat
rvp20182: yes very cursed by stupidity and blessed by natural resources. South Africa - Was the Mecca of minerals - Saudi Arabia of minerals - all minerals now pretty much mined and they are left with open pits - at least they built infrastructure with minerals proceeds.
Nigeria - Oil and 2nd only to DRC on minerals - 20 trillion dollars worth of minerals- but so far - they've earned 1 trillion from Oil - and nothing to show for 1 trillion dollar. You can bet the 19 trillion still underground will go wasted.
DRC - 24 trillion dollars worth of minerals - worse country in every index - nearly everyone has run to urban centers just for safety - huge un-developed country - roads the world worst.
Ghana - Gold mecca - now add Oil - pretty useless - with I guess useless people. Ghanians like to talk BIG - but actually do NOTHING.
Kenya - Zero minerals - African most hardworking and enterprising people - who knows how to get shiet done without showing off.
imagine all the hype in this write up and you still fall behind Ghana in most things.
Saddamochieng00: Those two shithole are just cursed. Imagine bearing the name Gold Coast or African Giant yet you have nothing to show for it. Not forgetting the unequal zoo downsouth that pride themselves in having Jew overlords. Most of these shit countries actually have nothing on us considering where we have come from and the strides we have made moving forward.
imagine getting so happy over a footbridge in Nairobi
Vlain: Since hobbit is obsessed with other countries past you might as well lift this video of ikoyi,Lagos from the 70's as Ghana of the future"2050". That was us 10 years after independence yet we achieved what your first independent cocoa republic couldn't achieve till this day.
Vlain: Hobbit has no taste so nonsense comments and mentality like this is expected. This your two storey building nonsense can only be compared to the scums of Ibadan hotels. Like this Palms hotel in ibadan. Even at that this Ibadan scum of an hotel looks better than that your two storey rubbish best. Which goes to show that our worst is your best.
Tayser: Your elections have very little impact. Thats why they dont make headline news. Plus no one wants to see an election report from a dwarf city with old rickety vans, saw a yellow one very worn out on one side and citizens were packed inside like sardines in the news
Too bad we dont use yellow Van's here for people to be parked inside like sardines.
My elections are one of the best you will ever watch, the impact of my elections keeps the Hope's of many countries in the region up, that one day, they will also have seamless electoral processes.
That includes Kenya, next time, tell your country not to come and borrow electoral officers from here to help you conduct your usually chaotic elections.
Your rickety city with rusty matatus can park somewhere.
Bad for him, we are going to have a HUNG PARLIAMENT.
So he will suffer to get anything to pass in parliament including his budget, unless he collaborate with the opposition. And this will be good for Ghana, we are going to see the most effective parliament ever
billionaires are actually heavy tax avoiders who try as much as they can to dilute their wealth to pay the least taxes.
theenchanter: billionaires may not mean anything to u cos ur way of reasoning is always upside-down. Again, it may mean inequality and looting professionalism so to speak cos we know most billionaires in kenya are not industrialists but corrupt politicians or an affiliate of politicians.
Billionaires, depending on their line of business, shows d ingenuity of some people or solidity of the sector of the economy or the purchasing power of the people in that country...... Most billionaires are also philanthropists, I don't know d case in kenya.
They may not feed folks in slums directly but they employ a lot of people if they're industrialists and the flow of money will circulate the economy...... And again, they may feed folks in slums indirectly.
They're heavy tax payer, they engage in CSR's too....
the are currently 4 dollar billionaires in Ghana but we dont make noise on such nonsense because it only speaks to wealth inequalities.
Shma2020: Dollar billionaire or richest whatever means nothing. It just shows the kind of inequality and looting professionalism. If a poor guy can afford basic amenities, then worry less about looting gurus.
Dollar billionaires won't feed staving folks from makoko, Khayelitsha or kibera.
They will grow their extended families and cash will flow within the circle.
@justo30.. Though you're trying to prove nonsense, but lack of dollar billionaires won't qualify your country to be backwards. There are so much to knuckle down to.
Roan77: If you had sense, you would have understood why i'm asking you to post the link that verified these men you listed as billionaires, by forbes or any other verified company, idiot. You only have billionaires in cedis, stupid idiot.
you are such a fool
Just download The Ghana Wealth Report and you will see 80 names and see the currency they are listed in.
Roan77: You are the biggest fool in the whole world.
I mean billionaires in dollars, not billionaires in your useless cedis.
Idiot.
See tantrums
useless rants of a fool
did you see billions in Cedi or you saw billions in dollars.
Next time you want to quote me, quote me with proper development from Nigeria.
Like when you will have your roads tarred, water supply, electricity, waste collection, poverty reduction, end to starvation, Education improvement,Health Improvement and so many other infrastructure developments.
After that, you can talk about social development like ending extra judicial killings by your police and better policing, improving governance in your country, making government accountable to the people or make your people knowledgeable enough to understand politics and ethnicity sothey cant stop killing themselves over them.
Roan77: Nice one, for the first time, you quote without those silly laughing emojis, it shows you are taking a very good reasons from me, on how to make use of emojis when you are in pains, and have nothing to prove.
Umm, can you list the names of your 3 billionaires please? Let me fasten my seat belt, waiting for your usual lies.
Charles Ampofo Sam Jonah Ibrahim Mahama
Let me dash you one more
Ernesto Tarricone
Now let me know when Shitting in Lagos streets will end, this will be real development ?
