if you can live in Ghana, you can live anywhere else on this planet except Singapore

1. You said I should go back to school to learn. 2. You added that I should go back to my parents to learn sense. I am close to 50 years, for me it is an abuse. Respect is reciprocal; I doubt if I wrote anything derogatory in what I have been writing so far to you. So, once again, thank you and God bless.

I'm sorry you see it as and insult, maybe it was, then but in the century I grew up in; it's not.

Hmm

Hahahaha now I know you daft...Dmitry Medvedev was the president after Putin now who is back to been the President...Putin left his man in Ukraine dude was so corrupt he had a golden toilet seat...the Ukrainaians got rid of him now they took back crimea from them which was given to Ukraine by Russia but Russia been Petty took it back....Guess what country Edward Snowden want to return to now...USA he is currently trying to do a deal to for an appeal cos espionage is death sentence now tell me why will be go through the hassle only to want to return to USA...You talk about China at least we know the Political opponent of China...have you ever heard of Putin Political opponent never....China promote trade even though they are communist..Russia nada only nukes and if you were current you will have realised America and Russia signed a deal to reduce Nuclear production...

America never ever comply to the terms of the deals they sign. The guy Snowden is a nationalist and he wants is life back but he won't be going to the US until his issue is resolved else he would be murdered. Assange knows what was planned for him by the CIA, the Clinton emails made it clear; they should just bomb him. That is what justice looks like in the US.
Ask the EU why they can't seems to break their trade with Russia? They will tell you that Russia got money and it's a big market for them, The sanction are hurting EU interest more than it's hurting Russia in the mean while more American and Chinese companies are filling in the roles EU companies used to play. So when Victoria Nuland said Bleep F***k the EU, she really meant it

Stelvin101:
Op it is too early to smoke dried faeces. The only thing Ghana lead Nigeria with are two things: Electricity and Internet network. I have been there a lot of times and recently went there. Cost of living in Ghana nor be joke.

that is why it's Ghana, if I can live in Ghana then I can live in the US without work and be OK. Cost of living is high but it does not equate to Singapore

for clearity, a dictator does not allow for freedom of speech in his domain. You will be killed in Libya, Iraq, Syria, if you opposed Saddam or Ghadaffi. Remember how Ghadaffi killed his people with chemicals when he was ruling?

The ISIS you mentioned is a clear case of religious extremism. even citizens of Americans and other western nations have been beheaded and killed by the so called ISIS.

Your Democratic gods forgot that election were held in Syria for them to get him out, but they knew those calling for Assad to step down were just a few group of people so they had to arm them to do it by force and bring in foreigners

kolaish:
Don't get me wrong, I am not in love with America. The truth is that you can trust America with all the nuclear weapons but you can never trust other nations with same. Saddam Hussein killed his own iraqi people with chemicals (read the stories about chemical Ali and Saddam). So, is it the person that killed his own family with chemical that will not kill another person's family with a bigger chemical. Same goes to Al-hassad. This rulers are desperados that can do anything as they do not value human lifes. If America does not view you as a security threat they will never have any problem with you. They invaded Iraq based on 9/11 assumptions, same goes to Afghanistan. Please remember that same Russia that you are talking about invaded same Afghanistan some years before then for political reasons.

you need to go back to school
Oh I forgot, u need to go back to your parents to learn sense. Unfortunately it's not taught in schools

Bants:
Why you so foolish and in your life don't ever comment on page apart from Russia who else practices communism if not north korea and bullying Ukraine is what....Actually what do you know your response is rubbish lacks intelligent and I wont be surprise if you live in Saachi or Moscow....you should learn how putin is killing his rivals and then come with valid points not nonsense

better still you can go and learn how the Clinton's eliminate people they see as threats, or how the Pentagon pulls up false flags and eliminate people they find to go against them. Snowden thinks differently of them , cost he will be eliminated before he even set foot in a US court

Ebenezerk2:
You're on point, USA, UK, France, Germany etc , they don't announce their owns as Russia does

it's because they've not built any since the 80s . And it would take them like an additional 10 years to build a missile to carry a warhead like that

movmentish:
Thats why russia will not allow another western crusaders coup right at their backyard. I tell you a Hilary Clinton led USA would be bad news for peace and stability around the world.

we are already in a situation whereby Russia may not support any solution to any conflict at the UN security Council cos of miss trust from the US

I'm sure they are regretting it already

The University of Ghana (UG), has once again been named among the world’s most reputable academic institutions.

The institution was ranked in the band of 601- 800 institutions worldwide, according to a 2016 release by the Times Higher Education (THE) World Rankings.

A statement signed by the Director of Public Affairs, Stella Amoah, said the “ranking places the University of Ghana ahead of its peers in the country, as it has become a force to be reckoned with on the continent and on the global front.”

The Times Higher Education World University Rankings are generated from five pillars, each of which represents a key area of higher education excellence – teaching (the learning environment), research (volume, income and reputation), citations (research influence), industry income (knowledge transfer), and international outlook (staff, students and research).

“For a University keen on enhancing internationalization, it is welcome news that the University of Ghana’s strongest pillar was International Outlook where its was ranked in the 5th decile,” she added.

University of Ghana was placed 10th on the African continent in June this year by the Thompson Reuters rankings.

“The continued upward mobility of the University of Ghana in world rankings is an attestation of the University’s quest to become a world-class research intensive university over the next decade,” she said.



‘Background’

The Times Higher Education World University Rankings is an annual global performance list that judge research-intensive universities across all their core missions: teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook. The rankings use 13 key calibrated performance indicators to provide a comprehensive and balanced comparison of performance by the featured Universities.

Last year, the University of Ghana was named in the list as the leading West African academic institution and the only one from Ghana.

Mobile-Money transaction
29 3 0 0 32 0
Effective today September 11, customers of mobile money services will begin earning interest on their mobile money accounts.
The interests to be paid will however be the accumulated interests for the first quarter while interests for the second quarter are expected to be paid on September 18, 2016.
The Bank of Ghana, in August this year, gave the green light for all the four telcos to pay interests on the mobile money accounts by their respective clients.
The demand for interests has also been at the forefront of concerns by mobile money subscribers at a time that patronage of the service is increasing significantly.
Per the directive, the four telcos (MTN, Tigo, Airtel and Vodafone) are to distribute 80 percent [12.2 million cedis] of the total interests earned on floats which were estimated at 15.2 million cedis as at the end of June this year.
The Public Relations Officer of the Bank of Ghana, Bernard Otabil earlier explained to Citi Business News amounts to be received will be relative to a customer’s average daily balance.
“If you are using the average daily balance over the total aggregated balances and that will be applied with the total amounts there is to be shared and that gives you the interest out of that,” he stated.
Telcom operators welcome interest payment
Meanwhile telecom operators who have been speaking to Citi Business News have described the move as welcoming.
They are highly hopeful the development will further increase the patronage of the mobile money services.
The Bank of Ghana’s Payment Systems Department has also revealed that mobile money transactions in Ghana reached 679.17 million cedis as at the end of June 2016.
This also represents an increase of over twenty percent from the end of 2015 which was estimated at 547.96 million cedis.
“We believe that as the mobile money industry expands and serves as a platform to serve the unbanked, customers should be able to enjoy benefits which include interest on the deposits or the balances in their wallets,” the Head of Corporate Sales at Airtel Ghana, Edmund Barwuah told Citi Business News.
He added, “We have been working with the regulator and our partner banks on the module that will ensure that Airtel money customers get paid interest on their balances and we are very happy to champion it.”
Also, the General Manager of Mobile Money services at MTN, Eli Hini has lauded the central bank for its directive for telcos to start paying interests on mobile money accounts.
“It’s been a much awaited approval and we welcome it because we believe that it is an opportunity for new wallet holders to also have benefit from the funds they put on their wallet,” he said.
“Interests are however based on customers’ balances which is the daily balances which is aggregated over a month and over a quarter. So it all works back to the funds that customers have had on their wallet over the period.”
Statistics on mobile money as at June this year
Figures released by the Payment Systems Department of the central bank indicate that the cumulative figure of registered mobile money customers has increased from 13,120,367 in 2015 to 16,428,391 by the end of June this year.
Also, active mobile money customers increased from 4,868,569 to 7,138,069 during the same period.
In addition, the cumulative number of registered Agents has inched from 79,747 at the end of 2015 to 108,531 by the end of June this year.
Further, while total volume of transactions went up from 109,846,033 between January and June 2015 to 222,422,989 for the same period in 2016, the value of the transactions more than doubled from GH¢13,862.20 million cedis to GH¢ 30,785.97 million cedis between the first half of 2015 and 2016.
