When it comes to the card-based transactions - Kenya does nearly 15 times Ghana. 0.9billion versus 13 billion. And this despite card transaction falling sharply in kenya (2013 - was like 15B) - while card transaction are rising like 30-50% annually in Ghana. You have a long way.

you are making too much noise

when cheques in Ghana is doing 40 billion dollars and mobile money is doing 45 billion dollars

all the cards in Ghana are doing 10 billion dollars

tylann:

Because it is 3 times what you consume so it must be cooked.

rvp20182:
Ghana like Nigeria has integrated slums - the town is slummish - there is no clear divide btw slums and non-slums. There is a lack of urban planning.

The is proper urban planning in Ghana
In Ghana, slums are usually the first established part of the city or two

so they are very small and have just few people.

tylann:
every vibrant economy has a boom of shopping malls why is ghana different from the rest of the world

kazikazi was right

Ghana already has an established form of shopping
and that form of shopping was established to suit the Ghanaian preference for convenience.

I dont need to walk to a mall to get good restaurants or find groceries or any other thing

rvp20182:
I gave you a link from your own central bank - let me help you further by pasting the data here. VERY EMBARRASSING. All the card transactions come to 900M (0.9M) compared to Kenya 13Billion dollars. 15 times.

you see how dunb you are

e-zwich is just one of the various cards used in Ghana

NairobiWalker:
Most of Accra is poorly planned even from Google maps. Just because you force yourselves to believe 2.5 million people live in Kibera doesn't make it true.

if we are talking about planning

kiddo then Accra is better planned than Nairobi

What Accra doesnt have is strict enforcement of zoning laws

tylann:
it is superior than anytthing ghana can offer

yet Kotoka is the 4th best airport in Africa

Troy404:
Assuming what you said is correct, is Ghana in East Africa. Haha

Ghana has the best airport in it region and yours is not the best in your region

rvp20182:
The blog quote Bank of Ghana - your central banker- and I went ahead and got this for you. Read it below this text. Your primitive cash-based informal economy cannot EVER HOLD A CANDLE TO KENYA. 15M dollars worth of card-based transactions - compared to 13 BILLION dollars in Kenya.
https://www.bog.gov.gh/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Payment-Systems-Annual-Report-2018-Final-Version_PUBLICATION.pdf

so total transactions Value of cards in Kenya is 13 billion dollars ?


you are funny


GHIPSS is Ghana is doing more than 40 billion cedis
whiles mobile money is doing 45 billion dollars

Cheques are doing 40 billion dollars

GIS is doning 400 billion dollars

vaxx2:
They arw many things wrong with blogs... it so more often a beer parlour report unless the blogs cited trusted body that is regulated with stastical evidence....

There is so much of card payment transaction in Ghana, you can get the stastical thru bank of Ghana. not blogs page

Dont mind him

he doesnt even know the value of Ghipss transactions

rvp20182:
Actually all the card-based credit & debit transactions in Ghana are probably done by foreigners in their airport. They do a measily 15M dollars worth of transaction annually. It a very primitve cash based informal economy (now mobile money is helping them so much). These Ghanians probably never seen a card swiping machine if they have never stepped into airport or ATM.

Kenya does 13 BILLION DOLLARS worth of card-based transactions. That is like 1,0000 times what Ghana does.

something is wrong with you
In 2017, the volume of total transactions processed on all GhIPSS platforms reached 25 million.

This translated into a value of 208 billion cedis; up from the 174 billion cedis recorded in the preceding year


The value of transactions carried out on mobile money platforms for 2018 reached ¢233 billion.

This was contained in the Bank of Ghana’s (BoG) latest statistics covering electronic payments from 2018.

Troy404:
going by your analogy everybody is a kenyan because we are the cradle of mankind. Haha

you are funny


and i made no analogy


But DNA proves differently

rvp20182:
Guys, don't waste time with the confirmed zoo - Nigeria which is the world poverty capital. Let us try understand Ghana..it better use of our time. We have completely debunked and unraveled Nigeria in 5,000 pages plus.

I am back for a few hours - so as we try to debunk the lies that Ghana is progressive nation-we now know it's an IMF colony that despite being literally named Gold coast - has gone belly up 16 times - latest about 3yrs ago - I remember a story my boss once told me about Ghana.

He had joined US PeaceCorps and was assigned a mission to Ghana. He said as soon as they got to Ghana - USAID would organize a tour of massive ABANDONED projects littering the country. Ghana he told me looks like a wasteland of abandoned projects. You'd find half-completed buildings - or completed buildings with overgrown vegetation.

Now I understand Ghana, like a drunken sailor, whenever commodities prices are high (Gold, Diamond, Cocoa, Aluminum, Bauxite, Oil & Gas ) Ghana goes into massive public expenditure and borrowing, and a few years later the prices drop, the country literally goes broke, hyperinflation sets in, and IMF comes calling with AUSTERITY MEASURES.

Projects are abandoned mid-way, civil servants are fired, the usual tightening of the belt. Then commodity prices rise again, Ghana rises like a Phoenix again, starts over-spending & over-leveraging (borrowing), and soon it's back to ICU.

This is they have done a record 16 times.

Conclusion. Ghana is a primitive undeveloped economy led by morons.You can re-phrase to Ghana is an Informal economy led by political neanderthals.

Now that commodities are doing good - they are even thinking of borrowing 50B dollars - and when prices drop (and they do) - the country will sink - hyperinflation - will send Ghanians scampering out of the country like Zimbwabweans.

this your rant is funny



Despite electricity being discovered in the 19th century or so,

Up till not, 70% of your population do not have electricity.

yet you are online comparing yourself to a country that has managed to provide access to 90% of it people.


I can only imagine how primitive entire Kenya is after 60 years of self rule.

To have 40% of your people extremely poor shows how much you have failed as a country.

NairobiWalker:
'He's regarded as president' while Uhuru is president. Again, that does not prove he has influence than Uhuru. Nobody even knows him. Everybody who is educated in Africa knows Uhuru Kenyatta.

hehe

you forgot the part where i said the Asantehene leads diplomatic missions and always called upon in negotiations Across Africa

Highly respected even in Monarch structure

NairobiWalker:
Ben Carson traces his ancestry to Kenya.

and what
are you celebrating ?

NairobiWalker:
This is the most ignorantly hilarious post I've read today. I would expect such ignorance from a Tanzanian, not a Ghanaian.

you still havnt indicated the part of it that is ignorantly hilarious

NairobiWalker:
When I check google street view, most of Accra looks like this though.

most of Accra streets have commercial activities along them

with lots of temporal shops

NigeriaIsDoomed:
Kenyans your internal roads in Nairobi aren't impressive.
This is the real Nairobi not those super edited pictures your flaunt here.
Africa has a long way to go.

and this is 2019

TayserMahri:
Just provide the data if you have it. For Nairobi, Mombasa and Accra

Comparing bush Mombasa to Accra is the biggest joke of the 21st century

compare Mombasa with Ada

NairobiWalker:
I check Accra on Google maps and most of it is crap. Delusion is making yourself believe the houses you posted before are the normal standard for Accra.

you are funny

you think Accra is slummy like Nairobi

NairobiWalker:
Which is the best public high school in Ghana?

Currently
holy child

TayserMahri:
Really sad I think even Somalis successfully grow rice my Ghana friend. Do better and show us the crops that Ghana really kicks ass for. Show us those Cocoa farmlands am sure you've seen our heavenly tea farms.

these are palm plantations 1 and 2
fish farms pic 3
maize plantation pic 4

TayserMahri:
Mombasa is very popular around the world its the setting of several highly popular video games like Halo and a board game known as Mombasa. Online Ghanaians would know Mombasa through such games.

What positives is Accra known for besides the dark slave trade?

Mombasa

Accra is well written about in Books
Its culture, geography and its politics and wars by poets globally

Movies and a whole lot

vaxx2:
This rice are all made in Ghana ..... i believe we can do more

Rice from Ghana are ending up in Tesco shops in the UK

TayserMahri:
Is that Accra or Lagos? We did Lagos Nairobi long ago. Back then we only lacked unbiased shot callers. Mombasa is even more popular than Accra in case you didnt know. I truly wonder how many people know Accra outside of West Africa

Accra is well known As far as Asia

what is Mombasa?
what is it history?

Kazikazi:
Don't confuse stuff.European cities were built ages back,while Asian cities are newly built due to economic boom towards the end of last century.Nowadays,most European nations has fewer birth rate,the need for more offices and skyscrapers is not there.In days of European economic boom,they built many stuff which were suitable and cool in those olden days.There is no economic boom without a surge of real estate activities.

Look at the pic of London below.The pic is snapped from wharf area in London.Have u seen the type of office they have? Does it look as a poor man's workplace? Look at the ceiling,look at the neighborhood, does it look poor? That is what we mean by middle class offices and neighborhood. But yet,London don't have many skyscrapers like Asian cities,but still,London don't look poor! And yes it is not.

Back to Ghana..
You lack skyscrapers. You lack well to do neighborhood.You lack real estate growth which resembles your economic boom. Yet,you claim to have an economic boom.Why should we believe u? Why is it only u who has economic boom but no upsurge in real estate?Where is your cement consumptions going?

The fact still remains that Almost all European countries hate the idea of People building skyscrappers in their neighbourhoods and that is why there are very few skyscrapers in most of Europes cities


It doesnt still take away the fact that European countries still have great office spaces

Back to Kenya
Putting up buildings does not make you developed

NairobiWalker:
Here is a random google street image of the biggest street in Tema. You can't lie to us sir.

BTW, I realize from Google street view that most cars on your roads are old and rickety. Why?

And that is not Tema bu Takoradi

NairobiWalker:
Here is a random google street image of the biggest street in Tema. You can't lie to us sir.

BTW, I realize from Google street view that most cars on your roads are old and rickety. Why?

Tema has nothing like the biggest street.

Everyone knows that everywhere in Ghana has shops lining the street

NairobiWalker:
Search Nigerian population Census on google and you'll see what a sham census is.

https://qz.com/africa/1221472/the-story-of-how-nigerias-census-figures-became-weaponized/

you Kenyans

you are very funny oo



with a birth rate of 28.7 per ever 1000 people and a death rate of 5.7 per every 1000 people


How do you claim you population has declined ?

Acadavah:
We are not deluded like you. Kenyans have to attack Ghana so you can agree that Nigeria is better than Kenya. Don't worry your rebased bubble economy will burst soon and your real GDP will shown up. I remember in 2013 you had GDP of Usd 63bill and 2015 GDP of usd 49bill, so much growth.

everyone knows
GDP can grow and decline

Austine1212:
Ok

Personally i don't like online shopping, i prefer traditional shopping experience. I mean whenwhen those malls close in france it results in loss of investment.

A single mall can employ 2000 people, if those shops closes an online outlet cannot consume all those who lost their jobs.

Even thou the space can be turned into office space it won't be the same.

as much as your assertions are true,

it almost means that,, retailing will move from corporate entities to ordinary people

such that anyone can buy and sell

Acadavah:
So,many educated Ghanaians travel abroad to find jobs and opportunities since your economy can't hold them while your government lies to AA to come to Ghana/Home since is a land of opportunities. Why are your skilled people don't stay in Ghana and use those opportunities?

the skilled people in Ghana are no longer going anywhere

our brain drain situation ended in 2010

now we are having a brain gain
