DO NOT TRY IT. Ghana is very expensive and their currency really doesnt have value plus there are no jobs coupled with you are a Nigerian. if you want to travel go to USA,Canada, Australia or Dubia.

listen to yourself, basically what you are saying is: cost of living is higher in SINGAPORE than it is in China so the Chinese currency has more value than Singapore's

Justnora:
i have lived in Ghana and i dont speak without evidence. you cannot compare how you spend 3k in Nigeria and 20cedis in ghana. In nigeria you can make money with different opportunities even agbero work... Common laboratory to see in ghana is a problem if you happen to get on test is almost 50cedies which is 4000 while in nigeria even 1000 or 500 naira you can do test.

If my words offended you i am deeply sorry.

Its very easy to make 50 Cedis in Ghana. Salary levels in Ghana are high and it has pushed cost of living, unfortunately we are not complainin. we still want higher pay.

laribari:
Hahahahahaha trash!! Like there are no crimes in Europe and America.

Let me remind you! Have you forgotten once in your history that your ricketty tiny country was seeking refuge (as refugees) in Nigeria? Do you know where the phrase Ghana must go emanated from? Lol

We have always been bigger and will continue to be. Please name one rich man in Ghana even your king and let's see where they are ranked in business. U know what? Nigerians are the greatest black people ever existed and I'm not kidding.

Have heard of these people?

In Nigeria, even slum have toilets.

Liar Asylum down, Achimota , Madina Every single house in these locations have toilets. 95% of the houses in Adabraka have toilets. You the Nigerians who sleep in the various kiosks you have mounted in Adabraka is the reason why Adabraka have become a mess . You people wake up in the middle of the night and squat in the middle of the drains there to release human excreta. Thanks to the mayor, you guys are being cleared from Adadraka

titosantana:
Nonsense statistics! What about Ghana that do not have toilet in their houses? 99% of houses in Ghana don't have toilet. I know because I once lived there.

titosantana:
Nonsense statistics! What about Ghana that do not have toilet in their houses? 99% of houses in Ghana don't have toilet. I know because I once lived there.

only 7% of houses in Accra don't have toilets because they're unapproved settlements and almost 20% nationwide. What do you mean by 99% smh. Deal with your issues and leave Ghana out. Backward society, backward minds

The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has issued an alert concerning a possible discovery of mosquito-borne Zika virus in Nigeria.

The GHS said it had “received rumours of Zika virus circulating in Nigeria”, adding that the public would be informed of any further developments.

This was contained in a statement copied to ClassFMonline.com, which was signed by Dr Kofi Asemanyi-Mensah, Deputy Director (Public Health) for the Western Regional Health Directorate of the GHS.

According to Mr Asemanyi-Mensah, the service has also received an alert from the World Health Organisation (WHO) concerning an outbreak of Dengue Fever in Burkina Faso.

In view of that, the GHS has informed authorities at health facilities in the country to “enhance surveillance and update prospective preparedness and response for plans for dengue (and other arboviruses: dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, and Yellow Fever)”.

Furthermore, “blood samples of suspected cases should be sent in triple package protection with appropriate and adequately filled case based form and sent to Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR) for laboratory tests”.

The infection has been linked to severe birth defects in almost 30 countries.

The birth defects include microcephaly, a condition characterised by babies being born with abnormally small heads and restricted brain development.

According to WHO, more than 2,100 cases of nervous system malformations have been reported in Brazil alone.

Zika virus is also reported to be transmitted through sex.

In most cases, there are no symptoms. In a few cases, Zika can trigger paralysis (Guillain-Barré Syndrome).

The most common symptoms of Zika Virus Disease are fever, rash, joint pain, and red eyes.

There is no vaccine or specific treatment for the disease. Treatment instead focuses on relieving symptoms and includes rest, rehydration, and medications for fever and pain.

You guys have been doing this for days now and it must stop. Let this end it.
World Toilet Day is an important reminder that plumbing and sanitation are a blessing to many. Diarrhea resulting from poor sanitation such as inadequate toilets and dirty water kills 315,000 children yearly, according to estimates by WASHwatch, an online project that collects data on water and sanitation.

Research by the charity found that more than 100 million people on earth are forced to practise what's known as 'open defecation' - using roadsides, railway tracks, or plastic bags as a toilet.
Here are the top 10 countries with the most urban dwellers without safe, private toilets:
1. India
India has the highest number of urban dwellers who do not have access to safe and private toilets - 157 million people.
Eight Olympic-sized swimming pools could be filled daily with excrement produced by India's 41 million urban residents who must defecate in the open.
2. China
China, which also has a massive rate of rural to urban migration, is the second worst, with 104 million people without safe sanitation.

However, WaterAid also ranks China top of the “most improved” countries for reaching the highest number of people in urban areas with safe, private toilets. The state has managed to build sanitation facilities faster than the pace of new arrivals, providing more than 329 million people since 2000 with urban sanitation systems, outpacing population growth by 9 million

3. Nigeria
A newly launched report on the 2016 State of the World Toilet by WaterAid Nigeria has revealed that 130million representing 71 percent of Nigerians lack access to safe, private toilet. 58 million people out of the number living in urban cities lack access to improved sanitation facilities and 13.5million urban dwellers defecate in the open, the report further noted.
Other countries that make the top 10 list are:
4. Indonesia
5. Russia
6. Bangladesh
7. The Democratic Republic of Congo
8. Brazil
9. Ethiopia
10. Pakistan

According to research, every $1 spent on sanitation and water generates a $4.3 return in the form of reduced health care costs.

Ghana recently reported Nigeria... For not supplying gas... So as long as Nigeria supplies Ghana gas then even if its 2056 I'll keep believing...

your ignorance is appealing

gamaliel121:
Give me a link to any blog in your country so I can enjoy myself too as u are feeling nairaland!!

i wont be doing that , dont want to find untruth on those blogs that allow comments

onatisi:
No wonder. They insult ,abuse each other aggressively and you will think maybe they will fight, but within 10mins after the arguments,they are laughing and eating together in the same room. Whenever they meet each other while jogging they tease each other ,at times exchange party vests. And victory party is the best of all. All supporters of the losing party drink and party all night with the winning party. Funny people

at times, it can get really nasty. This years election will go down as the most descent one

onatisi:
But u know that Ghana politics is the funniest type. Majority of voters don't even know who they will vote for until 2 hrs to elections . That is how their life is. So you find out that election time is usually a carnival time for them,the same mammoth crowd moves to each party rallies

They are mostly class mates

onatisi:
It was like a carnival and I really wish our politicians can emulate Ghana politics. To be honest mahama is a great leader and a fantastic eloquent communicator who passes his messages out to his people in clear simple language. Npp and nana are very unfortunate that they are up against a candidate like mahama

Ghanaian politicians have been doing this, since their days at the University of Ghana. Majority of them we're class mates

Mbilla:
Travel some Nigerians will not travel rather they will sit in their comfort zone and be talking trash about their country. I have travelled to 15 countries in West Africa, there is no country in West Africa you can compared to Nigeria in types of anything except Ivory Coast which French called "petty paris". Other West Africas except mumu nigerians knows Ghanaians as noisy small minded people. For Christ sake Accra is the capital of Ghana and Accra have been ghana capital since independence till date. Abidjan is formal Ivory coast capital but ivory coast government left Abidjan and move the capital to Yamasoco which is the current capital of Ivory coast. Nigeria did the same Lagos to Abuja.

and you have no idea that Ghana's capital was Cape Coast before it was moved to Accra

Ugosample:
But Ghana expensive o
I see pepper no be small...

yep Living in Ghana is expensive
