rvp2018: Again from girl video - look like Ghanian are just chilled out boys - I doubt their entire night life can even rival kenyamatatu nightlife - few places can - matatu alone nightlife are more than Ghana can handle - leave alone the bars & clubs - Nairobi at night is crazy - it loud obxonious - and everywhere. And Nairobeans or kenya just head to bar straight from job. Mos t of other countries I have seen - Uganda, South africa , nigeria, ghana - people go home - dress up for the night - which are semi-formal. Kenyans simply empty from office to bar at 5pm. Nairobi from 6-7ish it become a mudhouse - matatus start competing with bars for clients - and by midnight - almost all the bars are emptying out - as people are now drunk - by 3pm it's over. Matatus pick you if you use them and drop you with same loud music, disco lights.
Thank goodness bars in kenya were eventually regulated - to open at 5pm and most close by law by 11pm- otherwise it uses to 24hours of madness - a few have such license. Saturday and sunday they are open at 2pm - otherwise again people use to drink silly 24hrs - some dont even show up home.
Immediately I landed in airport - the air wasnt fresh - it has a smell in it - not pleasant smell but now i am used to it.
The answer is obvious - NO SEWAGE SYSTEM - shiet dumped in altantic ocean - putrid smell of human raw sewage rent the air. The whole country has only small colonial era sewage system in central business district in accra!
Very sad - they need to fix sewage system - build modern sewage system with culvert pipes to everyone homes - not cesspit/soakpit/
When you exit the plane, the first thing that hit you is the hot air.. Second is the woodish smell .. anyone who has been to the savannah knows or forest knows what woodish smell is.
It's quite nice.
Do you want to ask her why she was holding her nose throughout her tour of Kenya?
obaaderemi: It's a sickness of the mind. A syndrome. You see them accusing others of the same disease they're suffering from. It seems they are not in tune with what's going on outside Kenya. The most annoying part is when that volatile animal says his country will catch up with this or that country. And I ask the animal, will the whole world stand still for you?
Even if the entire world stand still, they'll still not catch up
obaaderemi: He is already running mad. He says the most outrageous nonsense these days. He keeps repeating them because he knows he is losing. Once in a while when other little Indians try to correct him, he goes ballistic on them and they deactivate.
That's a sign of a man running mad, a hurt volatile animal.
obaaderemi: Something must be wrong with the air they breathe in little India. They always have this compunction to compare themselves with others. Inferiority complex at the highest level.
it comes out of the quest to look important so they can say to their fellow lunatics back home that after all they're not doing badly.
Quite. Mediocre way of thinking and it's always funny
obaaderemi: R I P, you are the hurt one here, arguing blindly with everyone and losing. You lost against the Ghanaians, you lost against Nigerians, lost against a lone Tanzanian. And now a South African asks you to back up your claim with a single chart or whatever and it's hard for you to do.
Just like a fellow little Indian once advised you, you will die slowly because of these arguments you keep losing.
Your projections are nonsense compared to credible institutions. Someone we've corrected severally on basic stuff here.
He will keep losing every conversation untill he starts accepting facts as they are instead of trying to qualify them with explanations from lunacy.
rvp2018: Kenya safari - so many animals parks, coastal beaches - almost 500kms of whole of it lined up with tourist restort Those two are the big ones in kenya - then many others added on Mountains Deserts Lakes, rivers & related resorts Sports rural tourism urban tourism
Ghana you have coastline, you have river and lake volta, you have some parks.
All you need is to develop it. You can start by selling beach plots exclusively for hotels - and stop dumping garbage.
Kenya has many tourism institution including tourism development fund - to assist in building hotels - you just need to copy and prosper.
Not call useless diaspora coming home tourism - those people will always come home.
The number of beach in Kenya can be counted on one hand and not utilized when Ghana over 1000 different Beaches are packed every weekend.
For now, as we can see Kenya earn very little from it tourism in receipts so there's nothing to even compare here especially when Ghana is earning almost 3 times what Kenya earns.
Only a mad person will this he can compare even in the face of empirical fact. The prove of Kenya tourism being comparable should be seen earnings
The US earns 210 billion Spain 67 billion France 60 billion
Meanwhile, Lonely planet ranks Accra in the top 30 places in the world to visit. TIMEs name Accra the number one tourism destination to visit in Africa National Geographic just named Ghana a top destination to visit in the world.
It night life is a top experience, it fashion is top notch
Please Accra competes with the world top areas in night life and not poor Nairobi with no vibe
rvp2018: I expect you to sell the Ghana experience to us. What would a tourist do in day 5 in Ghana. Show us a sample tourism product being sold in Ghana? You don't have tourism sector outside the slave tourism. You should try to copy even Uganda that has done great. Museveni has built their tourism sector from ground up with incentive to tour operators and company To build hotels and lodges - sell tourism products - and the work. They allow duty free imports of tour cars.
Ask him why he and his fellow tourist choose to spend 2 months in Ghana touring and experiencing ...
I don't need to market Ghana to you because we don't waste time on poor people like you.
rvp2018: What is there in undeveloped west africa that can pass for a tourist experience. Tourist land in Accra - go to slaves dungeons in cape coast - take a picture in point of no return - imagine the horror of slavey. Comes back to Accra hotel - go to local bar and eat local food? Go to only park or garden to see rows of tree - mburi something - maybe see two monkeys? Try to go swim - and find the pungent smell & slimy water too much. Get into his plane - and never comes back.
Want to compare yourselves to kenya - these canadian couple been here for two years - and they always have something new to see or do.
The fact that your tourism receipts is just a billion dollars and less should already tell you that there's so much to experience in West Africa and the very reason why we earn more than Kenya and every year more and more people keep coming back for the experience and vibe.
People feels like they are missing out when they're unable to come from Europe to have the experience.
Kenya is the only place that smells pungent that keeps people holding their nose when they step in Nairobi.... Need I show you WTO president holding hers
obaaderemi: You are right. It's the vibe. That's what Kenya is missing. They have great natural sights but they don't know how to make money from them. They just want to leave everything in the hands of foreigners. Like I opined on the other thread years ago, epic movies and great documentaries can be made in Kenya that could shake up Hollywood but Kenyans don't have the vibe like you said. Nor do they have an entertainment industry rich enough for such. The role these things play in forex exchange earnings can not be overemphasized. Look at the lion King for instance. Instead, movies like The Constant Gardener which focused on the Kibera slum are made about Kenya.
West Africa has many carnivals and shows that attract many people yearly. West Africa is the home of vibe. Nairaland for instance.
They think tourism just about sight seeing rather than an entire experience. An experience that someone will want to have more than 10times in their lifetime
obaaderemi: R I P, you have no honour. There's no stretching it. Your arguments are basically nonsensical. Where's the intellectuality in saying a country will stand in the same spot for ten years while yours catch up?
You said the same thing about Morroco and you are still far behind. You said the same about Nigeria, you are yet to catch up with ordinary Lagos.
The Boer asked you to post any source, just one source that puts little Indian ahead of south Africa GDP wise in your lifetime. That's been impossible for you to do. Instead you keep arguing blindly. Where's the honour in that?
If there's anyone here who just says anything it's you and your idiotic brothers. One female monkey was here yesterday arguing about tennis, a sports he knows nothing about. Even when his errors were pointed out he didn't have the decency to slink away quietly from the big embarrassment. He continued arguing that a certain gentleman won nothing for South Africa since the South African flag under which he won his first grandslam was different from the current flag. How's that for lack of honor? You couldn't say you didn't see him making a mockery of Kenyan education here but you chose to keep quiet instead of correcting the illiterate. You Know you are his father and Lord. You lack honour.
Your arguments are mostly flawed and this one on GDP projection just doesn't make sense and you know it. Even the chart you posted proves it. By 2024, South Africa's GDP is expected to be over 7 trillion rands, that's over $400bn. Where will you be in 2024?
especially when that country 2% to 4% growth is more than a 7 to 10% growth of theirs.
rvp2018: Let's just say you wouldn't know honor even if it hits you on the face. Disagreeing with someone intellectually doesn't make me dishonorable. Getting something wrong doesn't make me dishonorable.
Let begin with basic here A code of honor or honor code is generally a set of rules or ideals or a mode or way of behaving regarding honor that is socially, institutionally, culturally, and/or individually or personally imposed, reinforced, followed, and/or respected by certain individuals and/or certain cultures or societies.
What would pass for honor here in Naira is already enumerated in the code of conduct here
But generally, I expect someone to engage in SOUND ARGUMENTATION.
You make an argument - please try to back it up - if possible, with data - showing its truthfulness and its validity.
Don't degenerate to the Ghanian mad cow who just say anything.
When it comes to comparing who is more dishonorable - I don't think Kenya can match Nigeria - and everyone knows that.
Some truism don't need long argumentation.
All truism don't need long arguments ... So lunatic explain why you and your fellow lunatics keep throwing useless words around with the South Africans, is Ghanaians and the Nigerians when everything is obvious enough.
obaaderemi: You are right. It's the vibe. That's what Kenya is missing. They have great natural sights but they don't know how to make money from them. They just want to leave everything in the hands of foreigners. Like I opined on the other thread years ago, epic movies and great documentaries can be made in Kenya that could shake up Hollywood but Kenyans don't have the vibe like you said. Nor do they have an entertainment industry rich enough for such. The role these things play in forex exchange earnings can not be overemphasized. Look at the lion King for instance. Instead, movies like The Constant Gardener which focused on the Kibera slum are made about Kenya.
West Africa has many carnivals and shows that attract many people yearly. West Africa is the home of vibe. Nairaland for instance.
It will take a Kenyan 3 decades to understand this
rvp20182: You're counting what in kenya we call summer bunnies as tourist?
Nigeria and Ghana - you got no tourism.
You have Ghanian diaspora returning for xmas.
We dont count those as tourist.
Here in Kenya, the Kenyans living or studying abroad who come to visit and vacation home are collectively known as 'summer bunnies'. I don't know where the term originated from but I've heard it a lot recently and been referred as one when I'm here on holiday
What you call tourists are Ghanians coming home for xmas.
You got NO TOURISM sector - that is why white dude is a rarity in many of your countries.
Ghanaian diaspora do not travel on tourist visas, neither do those on the African continent.
Look for another excuse for Kenya mediocre tourism performance
Both Ghana and Nigeria have a tourism industry bigger than yours ... Go and rest old man, your brain is overheating out of the pain you have to endure because of the irrelevancy of Kenya on this front
rvp2018: Every country has their methodology of who a tourist is....and what constitute tourism. Always start from common sense test. Smell it, see it, feel it.
If you feel kenya tourism is ahead of Ghana like common sense says; stop.
Ghana fails the common sense test in many things.
we cannot go to data when you fail eye test.
You cannot look like chicken coop or your town look shietty and claim we are doing great HOW NOW?
Running away from the fact that Kenya generates less than a billion from Tourism.
Kenya can't be looking like a pig pen with no international events that attract tourist yearly and be trying to compete with the big boys.
Modernize your country Tourism from the cheap safari tour and you'll be be earning more money like Ghana.
Look at Afrochella, a signature big event bringing together the diaspora from everywhere for an end of year party.
Tourists visiting Ghana are Ghanaians --- with very few foreigners. Those are grandchildren of Ghanaian slaves who were taken to the UK and US as cheap labor.
The ‘Year of Return, Ghana 2019’ was a kickstart campaign to bring foreigners, particularly from the black diaspora, to Ghana, as visitors or as tourists. This would bring in fresh skills and capital, and place Ghana more firmly on the global map as a key destination spot.
Since when did diaspora become Ghanaians?
Or you don't know who the diaspora is?
Find another excuse for why Ghana smoke your country in tourism
