rvp2018: I doubt we even have an ambassador in Accra. What is there to learn from the world biggest gold exporter that looks like South Sudan.
Ask your president and he will tell you how he has been schooled since he came to power by Ghanaian presidents. He is constantly on the phone to Ghana begging for decent policy interventions.
rvp2018: The fact is you're eating rats and bats. That is like the lowest in the food chain. In Kenya it's illegal. You're eating protected animals. You are done with all the big mammals - and now you want to make rats extinct by making it a delicacy.
no one eat bats here
And grass cutter is not rat
Dumb dumb
And yet Ghana has more elephants than kenya The only few places in the world with Mona Monkies.
With 1000s of butterfly species and birds.
When it come to conservation, you are not there kenya
rvp2018: I have worked as consultant for UN-Habitat - what you call urban - are just slums. 7M people city is London. Nairobi looks 100yrs ahead and yet has maybe 2m housing deficit.
3.5 million in each cities yet far developed than Nairobi.
Each one of them
The amount of water used in Nairobi a day is what the people of Accra use to flush toilet in an hour.
rvp2018: Except Ghana President used Nairobi as your North Star in vision 2050! Nothing can be more revealing on how far undeveloped you're. I mean Nigerians like Samrobo are ambitious enough to lift Dubai, SansFrancisco, Hongkong and such cities.
But an African city lift Nairobi for their 2050 vision?
Except Accra is the pillar of development Kenya keeps hoping for hence why your president keeps sending envoys to come and borrow policies. Just so you guys can be like us.
rvp2018: Grasscutter - The grasscutter (Thryonomys swinderianus), variously known as the marsh cane-rat, ground hog and in francophone West Africa, the aulacode or incorrectly, the agouti is a rodent but not a rat proper
RODENT - maybe not a proper rat - just march cane rat.
it's not a rabbit.
the fact that Rice is a grass species does not mean it is not food.
TayserMahrii: There is no wealth in Ghana. They should take a lesson from Tanzania. Uganda despite being not known for gold exports 1.2 B worth of it each year. Yet there is no difference between Kampala/Jinja and Accra/Kumasi.
rvp2018: You're splitting hairs m.oron. South Africa should be around there in urbanization - it a middle class - and as you like NIC. Ghana are still feeding on rodents as a delicacy.
Tantrums as usual
Ghanaians eat better than Kenyans who go to bed on dry maize
that is an instance of poverty
Grass Cutter is expensive meat here low in fats with tender meat.
rvp2018: But do you see any wealth - in Ghana? Gold is like minning money literally. They account only 9B dollars - while everyone is reporting more than twice that - from Ghana. And we haven't talked about Anglo Ashanti smuggling.
Tanzania claimed to have found Barrick Gold smuggling so much.
This is Ghana without even a GOLD REFINERY of serious note. It appears Anglo Ashanti still ships gold concentrate to South Africa.
Ghana is not the only country that Switzerland and Dubai gold buyers buy gold from
We are more urbanized than you and more developed than you. All this long write up wont change those facts.
People move to urban areas to have better opportunities in Life. This is the trend all over the world.
You people know that there are no opportunities anywhere in Kenya that is why they are still living in villages like it's the stone age.
rvp2018: Kenya is right where it should be urbanization wise. You country has - I think thanks to military rule - shifted from rural areas to urban areas - mostly I bet for security.
Look at china - they are at 50-60% South Africa around them same. And these are middle-income countries.
Ghana, Nigeria, DRC congo and name any of those countries who face turmoil that forced people to shift to urban slums - are NOT developed.
Accra or Kumasi has the infrastructure of a city of 100K people.
You can smuggle diamond but not gold especially from Ghana.
Gold is a heavy metal.
They central bank do not need scanners at all exits because gold does not leave Ghana through the land borders. All gold miners are known by the Minerals commission that is where they get license to mine from without getting into trouble with the police.
All gold buyers are know, They get their buying license from PMMC who does all the assaying where revenues are collected andexport licenses are issued by the bank of Ghana before gold is exported.
Excports are only done by companies registered who are bined by law to repatriate all exports back to Ghana.
rvp2018: Here is you Maya boy. Gold, Diamond and etc - are so tiny - you can smuggle serious gold in just a handbag.
If Chinese can "sneak" into the forest - with huge diggers and escavators - in people cooca farms - and you think - the Central Bank of Ghana has scanners in all exit - that detect gold being smuggled by Chinese
It like claiming no drugs can get in or out of any country.
The Chinese are labourers who gets paid monthly in the hair purchase agreement they have with mine owners for the use of heavy duties equipment they bring.
They've all been deported out of Ghana for engaging in illegal activities.
The Chinese cannot even dare enter a protected forest, they will get shot on site.
Nothing is wrong with West Africans, we exercise full control of our lands and resources unlike East Africa where you guys have become 3rd class citizens to the Indians Chinese and Brits
rvp2018: You cannot control 5,000 Chinese entering with ESCVATORS and DIGGERS -but you can control tiny quantities of gold being smuggled in bags!
Are you Ghanians Cogentially daft. I have never seen such foolish people like I have seen of Ghanaians here.
You cannot even control a Chinese entering your f.cking PROTECTED forest with escavators and guns - and you think you can control how they smuggle the gold to gold exchanges in Switzerland, Dubai and China.
What is wrong with you West Africans Are you even humans or just primates?
The argument was that it wasn't reported in Ghana trade data. An argument which was debunk by the Bank of Ghana which showed that between 2013 and 2016,not a single gold was sold without tax being paid.
TayserMahrii: No more arguments now. Once you afford the internet to stream that video come back for more arguments. The bottomline is that Switzerland, despite her immense wealth pockets a cool 4 B worth of free Gold Coast gold. They not only pocket your cocoa and turn it to gold becoming more famous for chocolate than cocoa-producing Ghana but also pocket your real gold
all of Ghana 5 million ounces of gold are accounted for
8 billion dollars yearly and that is almost twice kenya total export
TayserMahrii: You have no proof We have already seen that Ghana gives 4 B worth of gold free of charge to Switzerland alone. If we audit all the countries you export gold to then you will agree with me that it makes sense to run away from Ghana.

i give it to him the last time he raise those false arguments up
this is not kenya where things like monies get missen only to be found in Kenyatta accounts
TayserMahrii: provide central bank source for both Swiss and Dubai. We have told you countless times that with all that gold your country would not be a dwarf. Now you can see why
rvp2018: Dubai is even worse. Dubai reports about 17B dollars from Africa - with about 5B thought to be from Ghana - as discrepancy btw what those countries report as gold exports - and what is actually sold in gold exchanges.
it is called, poor journalistic reporting
because they cant get reports from the Bank of Ghana, they rely of the Minerals Commission whose data only captures 1.5 and sometimes 2 million ounces of gold mined per annum out of 5 million
And i just told you it was poor work done by them as the central bank showed records of all golds receipts and it amounted to 8 billion dollars which is 4 to 5 million ounces of gold
TayserMahrii: Liar par excellence. You claimed Ghana doesnt lose a dime from Gold and I just showed you experts saying you actually lose a heck of a lot of money. Thats just one of the bigger lies you have told today. The best evidence is from Swiss, where Gold imports from Ghana are recorded at 7 B while in Ghana its less than half that at 3 B.
“If you have unlimited money and nonexistent oversight, bad things happen,” Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., tells U.S. News. “The idea is that they know it’s not a free ride.”
Members of Congress do not automatically have a right to know anything about funding for the intelligence agencies and therefore cannot participate in debates, oversight or votes on those appropriations. Funding for the intelligence agencies is generally approved by the House and Senate Intelligence Committees.
