Akwaaba to this thread. Now,may i ask you to weigh in with regard to the actual title of the thread. Your contribution is welcome

I've not been to Nigeria and I've not been to Kenya. But Kenya would be my first east African country to visit . I can't judge from the internet but I find Nairobi to be more livable considering how I live my life and how I want it to be.

iluvpomo:
I do not care what nationality you are. You have already exposed how stüpid you are. You are a proponent of one media outlet that is controlled by the government. That is a 100% recipe for disaster and a perfect way to indoctrinate because there is no other differing opinion. You are a certified Putin bot and a mûmû
Government should NOT own any media outlets - get that through your thick skull

do you even know the number of media houses in Russia? You are stupid because you are ignorant. Go back and learn about the world

iluvpomo:
You are a crètin. You are still trying to justify why the government should own their media. So tell me who will constructively criticize the government?? No one!!!. Instead the government will use the media to manipulate the minds and turn imbèciles like you into glorified Putin bots

your dumbness is admirable. Which country can you mention to have only government own media? There are enough media houses in even Russia to make the government own media houses negligible. Just try traveling out of your country and you will realised that the rest of the world is not like your country. It's the media duty to get the news out it's the duty of the citizenry to criticize their government
So it's not the media that criticize the government but the citizenry
Get your head together

iluvpomo:
You have ZERO intellectual depth. Show me in that document where the government is making propaganda legal?? You mûmü pass dönkey .... chai

I won't spoon feed you and make you even dumber than you are. I just give up a Congress web page go read up for yourself

iluvpomo:
I quoted you the public link and you are still not able to process it. Perhaps you need Putin news to go and 'cook up' some more misinformation for you since you are unable to do so on your own

if you were interested in reading a 680 page law then I would have given it to you , but you're lazy so just go look for a portion on the US Congress web page

iluvpomo:
The problem with you is that you are too shallow. A certified mümü like I said. Did you bother to look up what HR 4310 is about??

Here are the details on HR4310 National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 if you care to read it.

Instead you prefer to be indoctrinated by Putin and RT News though Max Keiseir who is actually a broadcaster and film maker but is good at indoctrinating dullards with Heterodox economic theories. Here is you Max misinformation for gullible Putin bots hr 4310
What are the government owned media houses in America?? Name one. Oh I forgot, a crètin like you does not seek the truth but even thinks stateowned media is a good thing. You are a socialist buffoön

lazy guy, the document is a 680 page document.
It might look like a punishment for you.
You decided to use the easiest way by taking someones opinion. Even when you could get majority of portions on Congress.gov or get a summary from the White house itself
So why do you think I would spoon feed you with a 680 page document when you won't seek the truth
Hollywood and CNN brainwashing programs are effective

iluvpomo:
You mümü pass göat. You still insist that government should control media. I think even a donkey will have a better understanding of why that is NOT how media should operate. You are a certified Putin bot ... continue to watch Sputnik like the mümü you are, that is why you are so dull

Thank you for that, that's why there's so much sanity in the media space in my country. Its your own dilemma now to say same for the media in your country.
The are more than 150 radio stations and over a 30 tv stations. My government owns just one station .
Just like every Stupid CNN ass licker they pass comments without knowing where the world has come from
It's their common phrase to call everyone who doesn't gulp their nonsense a Putin paid disinformer .
By the way, I'm Ghanaian and I know you're dumb

MtuMsuper:
Thanks. I have stated clearly where each party dominates. Are you Ghanaian?

yes I'm Ghanaian.

You just forgot that, media control by a person or an organization is equally as bad as government controlled media houses when they don't have their Independence. The US government can still control the media houses when ever it wants. don't they seek approval from a government institution whenever they are writing issues that regards security? Don't they give them guidelines as to things not to publish? Is it a coincidence that the mainstream media do not report on so many issues of US national importance but rather trevial issues as well as things that don't come cercern them?
Why I'm I even askibg you, you probably haven't even left the your country before?

You see how stupid you are...... You are too dumb , go look for a public directory and get the words of the entire law and read the spirit of the law and stop relying on the media. Can't you do one proper research in your life for once? See what CNN has done to you
Like I told you before
I get my news on countries from their own media.
If I want information, I don't rely on the summary provided by media houses, I get the entire thing all by myself
The law is public, go look for it.

MtuMsuper:
I see. So i can surmise there is a class/social dynamic that fits into a map where regional disparities closely mirror ethnic realities?

yes, Two regions in this country vote on a line that look ethnic but is not when you look at the facts from the history of those regions and the party. How the party is constituted

Legonviking:
Whiles parties are not based on ethnic lines,it is an undeniable fact that Npp gets over 70% of votes from Ashanti region and NDC also getting over 70% of votes from the Volta region

NPP gets 30% of it votes from the Ashanti region then it always wins the Eastern Region with a comfortable lead , NDC gets 30% of it votes the Volta Region and then it get to win the three northern regions by a comfortable vote lead. The remaining regions determines who wins the elections.
But this year, the demographic has changed to a large extend
Whiles 70% -80% of general voters are party base voters and the remaining 20%-30% are floating voters , university and secondary school graduate voters mostly tends to vote for the NPP . The NDC gets majority of it's votes from the uneducated voter class as well as the Zongo communities

MtuMsuper:
But NDC struggles for votes in Ashanti and western regions mostly. Elsewhere it wins hands down especially in Volta region dominated by Ewes. That's what i meant. So what 4 regions are these.( errr,,, Sorry folks for diverting )

NDC strong hold is the Volta region, NPP strong hold is the Ashanti region. The Western, Greater Accra, Brong Ahafo and Central Regions are Swing regions anyone who wins all four or even three wins the presidency if it is split then there would have to be a second round

MtuMsuper:
I think he's avoiding the real question. I have been on nairaland long enough to know that the party of buhari APC rode to victory on a wave of support from majority Hausa Fulani areas in the north and Yoruba SW. The same thing exists in Ghana where Akufo Addo's party while not exclusively Ashanti, derives the majority of its support there. I follow African politics to minute details. This regional and tribal ganging up is the bane of us Africans, its only CCM in Tanzania that i can immediately name as an exception to regional or tribal based politics.

sorry but you are wrong with your assessment of political parties in Ghana. Parties formation in Ghana are not based on ethnic lines.
They're extremely complex and you don't get to win an election without winning in certain four regions.
Political parties everywhere, have their strong holds where no matter what the opposition does; they won't win an election there.

maximunimpact:
Many people in Ghana have lost money by investing in a Russian-backed Ponzi scheme which promises huge profits. The scheme, the Marvodi Mondial Movement or MMM, was introduced in Ghana after it freezed in Nigeria.

Ghana’s financial sector is currently struggling to recover from a major financial crisis involving Ponzi investment schemes. Millions of Ghanaians have been denied access to their savings after investing in micro-finance companies. They had been promised huge returns on their capital over a short period of time, but now they’re pleading with Ghanaian President John Mahama for a refund of their investments.

“Many people are dead and many are on their sick bed, because of this money [scandal]. It’s not easy for us, Mr. President. Pay our money to us because the Bank of Ghana is under you,” said businessman Haruna Seidu.

These schemes were at the center of the presidential election campaign in Ghana. The incoming New Patriotic Party government has promised to reimburse all who have lost money with these investments. Ghana’s central bank has also revised its rules to discourage such Ponzi schemes in future. Its deputy governor Johnson Asiamah said they were also receiving help from Germany on how to better protect small investors.

Many Ghanaians want the government of President John Mahama, or his successor, to pay them compensation for the money they have lost

“With the passage of the Ghana deposit protection bill, I am happy to inform you that the Bank of Ghana in collaboration with the German government will soon establish a deposit protection system in Ghana for the first time in our history, This will ensure protection for small depositors and enhance the safety of the financial system,” said Asiamah.

New scheme

Reports of a new investment scheme called the Marvodi Mondial Movement have recently emerged under which clients are proimsed a return of 30 percent in less than a month.

The Russian-owned scheme been banned in some African countries including Nigeria. Financial analyst Osei Amankwah says it should be thoroughly investigated.

“The bank of Ghana shouldn’t allow this to cascade. Obviously if it was bad for Nigeria, it’s not going to be any good for Ghana,” he said.

The Marvodi Mondial Movement said on Twitter that their scheme in Ghana was a simple system in which a community of voluntary members provide and receive help. However, some Ghanaians are wary of these schemes.

“I would not be interested in it because I am afraid of losing my money at the end,” said Bernice Asiedu, a resident of Accra.

The Marvodi Mondial Movement isn’t officially licensed to operate in Ghana and officials have said that they will launch a probe into the group.

Paentera:
Take a look at this analysis and understand why it is easier for Ghana to have constant supply:

Progressively Expensive (Electricity Company of Ghana)
N1,292.53 - Cost of 50 kWh (Electricity Company of Ghana) N25.81/kWh
N4,062.04 - Cost of 100 kWh (Electricity Company of Ghana) N40.62/kWh
N9,409.31 - Cost of 200 kWh (Electricity Company of Ghana) N47.05/kWh

http://www.ecgonline.info/index.php/customer-care/services/tariff.html

Pay As You Go
N1,065.00 - Cost of 50 kWh (Ikeja Electric, Lagos) N21.30/kWh
N2,130.00 - Cost of 100 kWh (Ikeja Electric, Lagos) N21.30/kWh
N4,260.00 - Cost of 200 kWh (Ikeja Electric, Lagos) N21.30/kWh

What this analysis shows us is a cost reflective tariff in Ghana which means cost of all inputs are paid for by the tariff with no need for subsidies. In other words, Ghana's electricity industry pays for itself. In the case of Nigeria (which has the cheapest electricity tariffs in the world), the tariffs cannot adequately pay for the value provided by the whole chain from generation - transmission - distribution, hence leading to shortages. To cut the story short, tariffs set in Nigeria in 2015 (at N198/$1) are not enough to pay for the value created in the industry at the current rate of $309/$1 meaning that gas companies (who sell gas in $$) find it profitable to sell their products internationally where they get full payment than to the Power industry that cannot pay for its products.

If we have 40,000MW capacity but cost reflective tariffs are not introduced to the industry or as an alternative, tariffs subsidized (very inefficient & abuse prone) by the government, there will still be issues in the Power sector.

Now I understand why NNPC did so much lobbying to win a 10years LNG supply contract with our VRA in Ghana

You don't understand your own country but you know so much about places you never been nor lived. No country one earth is perfect but the livability is what matters. How anyone can compare Russia with America is mind boggling to say the least. Do honestly think if it were Russia Trump would be president elect? As flawed as America is, what makes them the greatest country in the world is the fact that they have systems in places that guarantees to a certain level liberties. Have you been to the Baltics? Go there and i promise you will not have the opinion of Russia you have now. You guys just stay glued to your computers and think you know everything about the world. Go out. Explore and your perception will change permanently. I promise you.

If you enter Russia, your backward perception of Russia will change.
The share history of their evolution

Guy I don't know where you guys get this notion from that Russia is stronger than US. The US military is the most powerful military in the world by far more than any country. Even Putin himself admitted it last year 2016.Check

Count and comare their jets, submarines,war ships, .Have you heard about the world "MAD" which stand for "mutually assured distruction" When two nuclear capable countries are fighting both are surely going to harm each other. Russia will be able to destroy US under 24hrs by nuclear weapons ? Can't US do the same to them.In fact Russian ammunition are obsolete they only threaten with their Nuclear weapons because that's the only fearful thing they can threaten with.US has nuclear weapons that are still potent for decades without heavy servicing all in underground silos unlike Russia that needs to service theirs every decade.They have B2 Spirit bomber jet for nuclear bombing by air,the look of that jet alone is trilling. They have submarines that are nuclear capable.It means if Russia attacks them by Nuclear bombs they have three means air,land and water to retaliate.

Do your research US has the best fighter jet in the world ,the F-22 Raptor operational and continuously upgraded since 2005 na now Russia still dey struggle with theirs or is it the new one they co-sponsored to build with mostly NATO countries the F-35 lightning II.Have you heard about the Toma-Hawk bomb with great precision.Is it their newly upgraded anti missile defence system called "THAAD" that neutralise 98% of incoming missiles.Do you know how many air craft carriers warship US has compare it with the others.In fact the only country that have even used the nuclear bomb in war is the US ,talking about the weaker bomb ,the atomic bomb in the second world war.It was dropped in two cities in Japan,Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I have heard Obama before addressing the press ,he starts with "as president of the most powerful nation in the world" He isn't really joking.Even Putin admitted it this year.

However nuclear bomb is the worst thing that humans has ever built.It has the power to end the human race.It's an ugly weapon.No country should have it at all it's evil

The US hasn't fought any real war. Russia under it's various evolutionary dispensation has fought more than three 3 world super powers and won against them. Despite on all occasion, being the under dog

fkdmods:
What is more important than personal experience? And yes he's right. Russia has nothing to offer the world. What do they have? It's own people want out of the country. Ok, you are are not using google but you are still using something close to it. I ask again, do you understand the politics in russia? They are like Nigeria with a revolving door of corrupt politicians and worse a more corrupt system of re election. The fact that you don't know this speaks volumes. And for your information, Russia has the highest number of nuclear warheads. It doesn't matter though. All you need is maybe ten to to twenty in order to destroy the whole world. Plus, you seem to have forgotten or don't know that Russia was the first country to invade afghanistan. Oya, start googling.

it wasn't an invasion, the Afghan government called upon the Soviets to ensure security

ritababe:
yeah Putin retaliate but he later reverse it, so for now
Obama 1, Putin 0.

Putin is playing the good police card and a long game

You posted an utterly nonsensical statement that you pulled out of your rear end and cannot back it up because Sputnik did not present the facts when you watched it... surprise surprise

You will anyway be denied US visa again just based on your crètinism

Hehehe you see, I didn't even get it from Sputnik a US citizen drew my attention to HR 4310 which is public document by the way, on a Facebook comment section. Just like most CNN watchers, you are lazy and read nothing for yourself but rely on CNN to spoon feed you
Like I told told you, I get my news on each country from their own media
But I didn't expect you to get it. U're too dumb to

iluvpomo:
You mümü pass cow
You cannot even understand the significance of state owned media and their inherent inability to have journalistic integrity. You are the perfect imbècile for Putin's media outfits because you cannot discern propaganda from news. Maybe on your next visit to Moscow one of the skinheads there can give your skull the thumping it requires for a recalibration

One thing Russians are good at, is, recognising which of their news stories is propaganda and which is not and pays more attention to it.
Oh I just forgot, you're Nigerian
State own media houses in Nigeria have no editorial integrity and it include alot of privately own media houses.
Like I said, your dilemma
You come from a country where almost nothing works.
If CNN was in my country, it would have been closed down for 6 months because of all the things it did last year.

Call him what you may; a soothsayer, a pastor, a politician on a pulpit, or a prophet of doom. Isaac Owusu Bempah, founder and leader of the Glorious Word Ministry International continues to dominate the headlines in Ghana, often for reasons other than right.

The pastor, who has courted controversy in Ghana for several years appears to have a trigger that sparks such discussions about him.

The 31st of December 2016 was one such day he decided to make use of that trigger.

As is now custom at his church, hundreds of Ghanaians showed up for a 'taste of what to expect' in 2017 and Rev Owusu Bempah was sure to stay the course of not disappointing.

However, some of his utterances on new year's eve seem to have gotten Ghanaians more worried than excited.

The controversial man of God is predicting the deaths of a former president, a former first lady as well as a 'great king' in Ghana.

He's also predicting a terrorist attack in the country, a coup d'etat as well as more clashes between Christians and Muslims in the country.

The prophecies, though intriguing to the several who hear them, have left many pondering what really a 2017 Ghana will look like. But Rev Owusu Bempah could not be bothered about how his prophecies are interpreted. His message is simple: Pray to avert them.

As you engage in the debate of how accurate Rev Owusu Bempah's predictions are, have been and will continue to be in the future, here are 17 prophecies to mull over for the next 12 months.

- Death of a former president

- Death of a former first lady

- Coup d'etat in Ghana

- Death of Nigeria's president

- Terrorist attack in Ghana
ADVERTISEMENT

- Death of several young men and women

- Important personalities in parliament will die

- Many people will be kidnapped

- Innocent blood will be shed in a particular political party

- Increase in occult practices

- Americans will go for war

- More Muslim/Christian clashes this year

- A great king will die

- Another plane crash in Ghana

- Fire outbreaks in important offices in Ghana

- More celebrities(Actors,musicians and media practitioners) in Ghana to die

When you make a claim and cannot back it up, there is only one thing to call you .......
So either you provide the proof, or you continue to be that.

I don't have the time to educate you on the Internet, after all it has no effect on my live. I'm not a US citizen and I have no interest in living g there

iluvpomo:
I do not think you really understand the ramifications of soley government funded news. You are basically at the level of many Russians now. When you one day get that realization then we will continue this discussion because there needs to be a common understanding of what makes news balanced.
You cannot even provide proof of your claims : BBC is supported 100% by the public , BBC World does receive some government funding but they still have editorial integrity.
Continue with your Sputnik... Putin bots are always entertaining and have the distinctive defiant ignorance

Your kind of education is really backward, which state own media in this world can you say is fully funded by the state? They have majority of their funds coming from other sources than the state. The state funded media in my country maintains editorial Integrity and is balance in it reporting and it's not fully funded by the state.
CNN has made many of you dumb, how do you even believe a media house that always cook stories? Your dilemma!
Do I even called it a political party run media or a globalist run media. I careless. I don't watch CNN. I get my news on each country of interest from their own media houses
Keep feeding on the lies and hate your own government because they told you to

iluvpomo:
Ha ha ha, so you listen to (or watch) Sputnik religiously?? No wonder!!!, I was beginning to wonder why you sound like a Putin-bot

Sputnik
Sputnik is a news agency, news websites and radio broadcast service established by the Russian government-controlled news agency Rossiya Segodnya details . What is Rossiya Segodnya?? See below :


Rossiya Segodnya
Rossiya Segodnya is a news agency wholly owned and operated by the Russian government, created by an Executive Order of the President of Russia. In other words, you are directly receiving propaganda from Putin. details

CNN
The Cable News Network (CNN) is an American basic cable and satellite television channel that is owned by the Turner Broadcasting System division of Time Warner. Time Warner is privately owned. They are NOT owned by any government. details

BBC
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is publicly funded. They are NOT funded by the UK government like you posted in your previous thread. It is funded by the households of the UK via the annual television licence fee. details

you must be really insane to post that BBC is not government funded. Check out how they got their new office.
Yes I do read stories on Russia from Sputnik. I have great interest in Russia and I've been there twice.
When I want stories on the USA, I don't turn to CNN because they have the tendencies to lie a lot and do lazy journalism.
You're aching as if government funded news networks is a bad thing
You have no idea the number of news networks in Russia and how divers that country is.
When you get there your perspective will change
Obama was quite lame at saying, Russia produce nothing
They are a group of people who depends on themselves and careless what goes on in the rest of the world

iluvpomo:
A law legalizing propaganda?? You must have gotten that from Sputnik/Putin. You make the asinine assertion, you back it up my friend ...

why don't you do the research yourself, since you don't believe it? Lazy citizens, the kind that CNN can easily brain wash

iluvpomo:
Ha ha ... just because you (like Trump) does not like a narrative of a particular news outlet, you label them as 'propaganda machine'. CNN is not government financed, unlike RIA Novosti, ITAR-TASS etc - Russians only access to news. Even Nigeria is better that way
You make a good point that no Americans were not caught in that Panama paper leak but o already destroyed your allegation that it was an "Obama job" and so you might as well just give it up! Americans do 'hide' money offshore. However, the IRS is finally catching up to those actions : read here

between sputniknews. Com and CNN. I would say Sputnik is far better a news network than CNN. They don't take sides in their articles, they report on both sides and stay neutral (except when they go on the attack regarding the US) can you say same for CNN?

He inherited the ME mess from GW (and the Dick Cheney). There was little he could do to stabilize Iraq. The hatred between Sunnis and Shias is beyond foreign intervention/resolution.
I applaud him for not sending ground troops to Syria. Daesh is not the only problem there and you should know that. America is NOT the world police. Europe has to handle their policy issues. Obama 'smacked' Putin in the mouth and the bully Putin is too shell shocked to react - maybe he'll recover in January

and you think I did not like him not intervening? But then, he financed armed and trained the rebels who turned out to be ISIS anyway and just couldn't stop US allies from creating another mess in addition to Iraq. Now Turkey Is burning and might just be in for another difficult 2017. Lets see what will happen to Saudi Arabia as the oil money runs dry as they are engaged in Yemen.
But for Europe, they deserve the Refugee weapon. They broke every international norms , France and Britain, with the help of Clinton and the CIA;
They Went, They Saw and They looted

Obama achieved almost everything he wanted to on his international policies. As a parting blow he sent Putin's boys (and girls) back home.
You brought up the Pamama papers quite ignorantly I must say. Putin was not directly listed in the wiki leaks. In fact the leaders that had accounts there were actually allies of Obama/USA : Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine and Salman of KSA
Obama's stand against Israel's settlement expansion is commendable. He is continuing with the US position that the opposing settlement expansion was consistent with the bipartisan consensus accepted by every single US president of both politcal parties since Ronald Reagan.
Putin has been smacked and now the cunning Trump can play it to his advantage and use this for leverage in future talks.
Hope Putin has picked his people from the airport ??

Obama campaign on redrawing US troops from active positions in the middle east, yet went ahead to destabilize the region even further. Now Europe is facing the consequences of his policy . That's the mess Obama achieved

Obama is the laughing stock of the world, he's petty. CNN was the propaganda machine being use to try to link Putin to the various shell accounts created by Russians. Have you wondered why the were no American mentioned in that report?
