rvp20182: That US money is propaganda. They adopted capitalism. China did the same...and US, European and name them Japanase companies..went there to take advantage.
There is nothing like propaganda about it
It is just simple fact
You dont know about it and that makes you really dumb to comment about the country Korea.
Your country adopted capitalism in 1960 why have you not progressed and companies are not coming in?
rvp20182: What makes you think I haven't read about Singapore, Lee Kwan Yew's, Malaysia, and many successfully South Asian countries. All these countries grew by their own bootstraps. Nobody held them. Nobody can develop anybody else. The country has to fix its own issues...one after the other. The propaganda that US developed them is baseless. China has copied that model and is moving to a developed nation as we speak.
Part of growing is having a stable macro-economic environment something VERY ALIEN IN GHANA. That is why you're NOT going anywhere.
so how come Ghana Macroeconomic environment is way better than Kenya hence the huge FDI into Ghana?
we have gotten somewhere by lifting our people out of poverty Now that Ghanaians have to no longer worry about where their next meal is coming from, They are inventing and producing things.

Sure everyone has to fix it own issues
South Korea was developed on American money and US giving them free access into the American market with their re-engineered copies of American and Japanese products.
If you want to Know about Singapore, Go and read Lee Kwan yew's book THE SINGAPORE STORY, FROM THIRD WORLD TO FIRST WORLD and ONE MAN VIEW OF THE WRLD and you will learn a great deal.
obaaderemi: You can't discount the American angle, silly. Without America the North Koreans would have annexed South Korea and there would be no South Korea. How would the South Koreans have built the kinds of infrastructure they built without finance from America? Would they be investor friendly without those infrastructure? I told you, you don't understand how the world economy functions.
And when you start name- calling, it's a sign of desperation. You don't have to be this desperate because you lost a debate or something.
The CEO of TC’s Energy, Mr. Anthony Opoku, has emphatically stated that the company’s power generation from the sea project at Ada Foah, Dangme East District, Greater Accra Region, is on course adding that by the end of 2022 that power will be fed into the national grid at Sogakope, in the Volta Region.
The project which the Ghana-based company is executing alongside Seabased, a Norway/Sweden consortium will see TC’s Energy and the foreign partners generate an initial 100MW from the Atlantic Ocean which will be ramped up to 1000 megawatts
rvp20182: By next year or so - Kenya will be outspending you - and you talk about military gear. You can pay your soldiers with yams or ask them to go looting and raping spree in lieu of a decent salary as they do - but you cannot buy military gear with naira. You need dollars. You probably have rotten and rusted Rusian gear.
Kenya military are in Somali fighting Alshabaab - something the US cannot stomach - and we are not struggling against home-grown terror like Nigeria. Moi was a mild dictator and we were a democracy. We have never had a military coup and probably won't as long as we pay them well, keep their discipline well and proffesanalism very high.
1. A military coup has nothing to do with pay
2. There is nothing like Mild dictator You are either a dictator or you are not.
Kenya practise a flawed democracy It is a totalitarian system that have similarities with a Monarchy
rvp20182: He had a friendly almost calming mien - kinda of house nigga - but he was nothing more than American-Jewish poodle - to be pampered - but still a dog. I met a Ghanian few years ago in Geneva who had been sent to Geneva School of International Diplomacy with Koffi- well like every Ghanaian - he revered Koffi Annan - but the man was a sellout. Ghanaian coz of being surrounded by French speaking nations - were able to speak both English and French - and that made them favorite in international diplomacy.
your write up shows an envious person
Ghanaians are selected to head international bodies not because they just speak many languages but because we are dem good at it.and exceptional
rvp20182: He only made headway after dumping his Ghanaian sweetheart and marrying a jewish woman - and that open doors for him. But for him to die like a foreign dog in Geneva is beyond the pale.
Kofi Annan was the most successful UN secretary-general ever
From Africa to Europe, his success story speaks for him
rvp20182: You were in Rwanda - in most momentous time - thanks to Koffi Annan - show me one movie made out of Ghanaian bravery. You and your man Koffi Annan. At best you sat there and watched as nearly a million people were massacred. The jewish american poddle who died in switzerland and is buried there...Koffi Annan...was promoted by US for being such a tool...see Bosnia.
and what were our men supposed to do
when individual forces including Kenya pulled their soldiers out?
the men we sent to Rwanda were small.
They decided to stay behind and prevent an outbreak of terrible diseases from rotting cops
and what will us wasting money on the military get us ?
you only buy stuffs that are essential for your military
rvp20182: Their "soldiers" were disarmed by untrained bush militia in DRC Congo so the pay is probably commensurate. I wonder why Ghanian have such small defence budget.. Koffi Annan use to pull strings to get them UN gigs.
This is what i mean when i'm talking about low IQ..... I'm engaged in forums western forums debating all kind of topics and i'm always amased at how advanced europeans are able to bring across their points through long texts explaining, but rarely can i find it in African forums such as nairaland when i try engaging with people. If i write nonsense i have no problem you telling me so but explain throughly why its nonsense and break it down. These are the normal replies from nairaland, deep analyzis, no critical thinking or anything. I believe that is one of the limitations of low IQ, because again, IQ determines how successful you are going to be and for this you need to have the ability to make deep evaluations which lacks alot in nairaland.
and has a poor performance ill equipped and uses inferior weapons
rvp20182: Our police image is in tatters for sure. Our military is miles ahead of many in Africa. Ghana ragtag army that overthrew your civilian force is known mostly fro cowardice. Our army is known for their discipline, incorruptible nature and their professionalism.
KDF is a mean well-paid force - and for their numbers - just well over 25k - they are amongst most the trained, educated and disciplined forces in the world.
For example in KDF - all officers must have a bachelor's degree in military science - and if you're not promoted in 8yrs to another rank - you go home.
Find a KDF office misbehaving - like you have in Nigeria. Not gonna happen in Kenya. You are sent home straight.
There is no GENERAL BUHARI whose primary certificate was eaten by a goat heck from being a commissioned officer - you need a degree in military science - in addition to any other degrees.
Yes, you are right in what you wrote. But the thing is that its the harscher environment of europe that made them develope a higher average IQ than the africans, if you had low IQ you would easily die. Imagine if africans in their current conditions were teleported to live in europe 2000 years ago? Most would die because they wouldn't have the brain to survive and the ones who would survive due to high iq would pass on their genes and create a smarter population.
When you talk about culture, i have compared african culture to the rest of the world. The thing is that african culture, values arent strong which is they are easily dominated by european, foreign culture and values, and easily destroyed. For example, if a nigerian or a kenya couple move to England, the chances of maintainig their africaness through culture, heritage etc are slim. You will see lots of african parents abroad refuse to teach their children their culture such as language and instead europen language, they dont teach them to preserve their culture, identity or heritage unlike other non african migrants. This is why it only takes 1 or 2 generations for an african lineage to dissapear through mixing with europeans.
Most Africans in europe eventually date europeans, and so does their mixed children which kill the african lineage completely. This is actually true for a family friend whom live in Denmark, she's in her 70s and has mixed children whom have white children whom recently got children by themselves, i have celebrated new years with them when visiting and i was the only fully 100% african there except for the grandmother, the furth generation children look like any european children. You can compare this to Europeans in Kenya, they have lived there for 200 years now but they still look as white as their forefathers, have the same names, speak the same languages, eat same food etc. Their culture and values are stronger and harder to destroy which is why they have survived that long serounded by african cultures. Its the same with Indians/pakistanis in Kenya and U.K, and even the lebanese in Nigeria. Their culture and values are stronger than that of the african, this is why it was easy for us to give up our african names, languages, religions, costums etc for european and arabic ones. The one thing i love about Nigeria though is that compared to other african countries they dont suffer as much inferiority complex, they dont worship foreigners such as europeans as much and have mantained their culture to a higher degree than lots of africans.
What i trully respect about other groups is the length they go to maintain their culture, values and identities. When the first europeans, whom were the portuguese, came to africa they landed in the Kingdom of Kongo (Today Angola, DRC, Gabon and Congo Brazza), upon contact, the first thing the ruler of the Kingdom of Kongo, Nzinga a Nkuwu, did was to convert to christianity and change his name to portuguese, João I of Kongo, (Africans christians dont have christian names, they have european name.) and initiated a major cultural initiative in 1485 which was meant to make Angola more portuguese due to his interest in Portugal and its culture. His son, Nzinga Mbemba, baptized Afonso I of Kongo, continued his legacy by conversing all of the Kongo Kingdom into christianity and trying to make it culturally portuguese. Similar situations can be found all over Africa. The only exception when it comes to weak african cultures in subsaharan Africa are Somalis, Ethiopians and Eritreans. These people like europeans, arabs, asians etc value their culture and uphold it wherever they are. Somalis in U.K live with Somalis, and uphold their, ethiopians and eritreans do the same, these people always marry each other wherever they are like the europeans, asians and arabs due to strong cultural values which they want to mantain. The opposite is true for the rest of Africa, its only africans who would take joy living in a neighbourhood with europeans, asians, arabs etc. while these groups take joy living around their own people.
Non african culture and values are really stronger, to mantain their culture and values european men would kill black men for even looking at their women, and i even have a male family acquaintance whom was killed by a Pakistani family for dating their daughter. There are even numerous news of asians killing african men for dating their women. Arabs do it to. But when have you heard about an african (black man) touching an european, asian, arab, etc for dating their daughter? In Africa its even a custom for the parents and the village to celebrate when our daughters marry european, asian, foreign men but will reject her if she marry an african from another tribe. And this is even though the fact that when she marry an european, foreign man it means the end of african lineage with their daughters because most mixed children dont date africans but europeans.
Ask yourself why europeans are eager to spread homosexuality into subsaharan Africa but not in Arab countries, even north africa which stones gays... First their is an agenda with homosexuality which is simple as to destroy the african family structures which will lead to depopulation of africa, and second is that they know Arab culture is stronger than african and that Arabs could never let europeans push their agendas on them which would destroy their family structures and goes against everything they believe in especially the quran. They have succeeded in S.A due to liberal blacks but the white people there are some of the most conservative people on earth and dont subscribe to it in their community. I have a friend who told me the result there that they have lots of tv shows with gay black men and this has led to the destruction of the mind of young S.A youth who have adopted gay life styles. You will find similar situations in america within black community, and also with european blacks in U.K, France Belgium, whom all have a big black population, which i have visited and seen with my own eyes.
My biggest fear as an african is that someday we will be conquered and dissapear out of Africa just like the native Indians. Many Africans, due to low IQ i believe, dont think it can happen. But look at what not having fear has brough us... We didn't fear arabs and welcomed them which they used as an opportunity to colonise us and engage in the biggest slave trade in history against africans. We didn't fear the europeans which they used an opportunity to colonise us and engaged in the biggest slave trade in history against africans, and till today the francophone africa are suffering from neo-colonialism but we still dont fear them and continue to welcome them. Today the chinese are coming into our lands and we dont fear them and are docile, submissive with inferiority complex just like we always are. Some African countries are now teaching african children Mandarin, so you can wonder how long it will take till they start naming their children Chang Ling and practising Buddhism. We dont fear for our lives, we dont fear for the lives of our grand children, we dont fear to die in the hands of foreigners, this is why Africa look the way it does. We make bad decision which hurt us because we dont fear, when you fear you take decision which will help you survive. If our forefathers feared we would never be colonised, but culturally we are a people who do not fear. Look at the Ethiopians, the only people not colonised, it was comprised of different rulers at the time with their differences but whom when the Italians attacked came together under Haile Selassie I because they feared for their lives. But then again, Ethiopian culture goes back thousands of years and is strong unlike the African, and the Ethiopian Empire was one of the oldest.
The future of my grandchildren scares me because im serrounded by africans with low IQ who don't fear.
samorobo: That zoo Kenya is so pathetic..atleast try to be expensive if you are going to sell your glory...don't allow every tom,dick ,Harry on the street of Shenzhen,London,Ridhya,Mecca own everything in Kenya for a small chicken pay...I spit
gallivant: It's my mistake to think Ghana education was worth more than 2 cedis.
this is a glimpse of the looting in your country
Saudi Arabia was given 50,000 acres of land as loan repayment Brits since independence have held your lands through your greedy politicians.
Land grievances remain a powerful undercurrent in Kenyan politics today. At independence in 1963 the departing British set aside money to buy back land in the “White Highlands”, which had been reserved for settlers, and redistribute it among land-hungry Africans. Though many benefited, much of the land went to those with political connections. The family of Kenya’s first president, Jomo Kenyatta, was among the biggest winners. The politicians, however, were happy to let foreign companies own big tea and coffee plantations, so long as they got seats on the board and a share of the profits.
rvp20182: Kenya police are very corrupt but very effective. Ask Nigerians illegals who came to Kenya. As for Ghana - and the fake rankings - watch this video - thousands of Chinese stealing your future.
they are working for the real owners of those gold mines
Ghanaians
A small-scale mining licence may only be granted to a citizen of Ghana who is at least 18 years old, and is registered by the office of the Minerals Commission in an area designated as a small-scale mining area.
samorobo: Then why were you lecturing black SA the other day on how to own their land... hypocrite...
If you've let inferiority complex destroy your mind Nigeria and other sane African country won't allow riff Raff flood our country and rule over us....the uae,Saudi Arabia Chinese,japanese e.tc didn't allow such and look where they are....they control their stuff and not succumb to white inferiority comy
especially when they've sold all their lands to Indians, Chinese, Brits and Arabs for small loans
If someone buys 5B of gold from a gold miner where does the money go
Dumb Dumb
rvp20182: I don't mind if Chinese can come and own everything in Kenya - as long as it's legal, they pay taxes and all that. I don't mind indian or whites investors owning everything - in fact I encourage them to come and invest. What I oppose are Chinese criminals gangs minning including deep in forest, with their own armed militia, smuggling the gold back to china and LEAVING your poor country least 5B dollars poorer ANNUALLY. I also don't like South Africa Boers sitting on stolen africa land. But I don't mind any white investor coming to africa to invest. I also don't like illegal ghanians or nigerians flocking South Africa...even if they are BLACK..they have to go to South Africa LEGALLY.
There is a difference btw an investor and exploiter. And the military, police, and security arms NEED MONEY TO DO THE JOB. Kenya is spending 1.2B dollars...because SECURITY IS VERY IMPORTANT.
We don't want to become an average West Africa backwater where Chinese just come, buy guns, hire local milita, mine gold including in people lands and protected areas, smuggle it back to China.
A mini-DRC - which is free for all - wilderness.
But you're either too daft or patriotic to reason with me.
The colonialists who stole Africa land are THIEVES. The chinese who come to Ghana to illegally mine is a THIEF. The illegal Indian doing illegal business is a THIEF.
But a white investor who come to Africa is a great man who should have a red carpet rolled out for.
