You can refer to the sources i provided to you dont mistake Opaque funding source to Reliability.



Think Tanks and Civil Societies ranking 2018

Just30:
Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with their reliability but everything to do with their funding sources and how transparently they disclose them.

The Opaque Think Tanks are some of the best in Africa

Just30:
Think Tanks love to keep their source of funding opaque enough so as to avoid being smeared by the political establishment as being biased

For instance, the opaque IMANI is Ghana best think tank and the 3rd best Think Tank in sub Saharan Africa

Transparency is an essential requirement for democratic processes as it allows citizens to know who influences who, how, and with what means. That should include organisations such as think tanks and not-for-profit organisations, as well as those representing business interests

Just30:
I dont know if you know what highly opaque means

vaxx:
The leading think tank in Africa..... Ghana has more ranking organization on the table and it is has the second best ranking institutions in Africa....

obaaderemi:
But is it correct to classify people with languages only. That's what I see a lot of people doing.

obaaderemi:
Noooo! Yorubas and Igbos are not Bantus. But igbos are believed to be pro- Bantu.
The Bantus gene can be found in people around Jos and Benue. In fact these people as far back as around 500bc started working with iron. They are the forefathers of the Bantus in East Africa, according to many experts. This makes Kikuyu 1 very angry. He would rather his forefathers migrated from hell than from West Africa.

BeforeJuly:
Yep it's been clarified


There's just this thing with the igbo's... theres a very real resemblance with the Zulu tribe.
They look a lot alike...and they make up about 90% of all Nigerians there.

Just30:
still one is far above the other

BeforeJuly:
But are Yoruba's bantus?

I believe it should be the South East no?

Igbos have a lot in common with south Africans.

kikuyu1:
You're right. I mean the migration from S Naij/Cameroon via the Congo. I'll edit.

THE BANTU MIGRATION FAIRY TALE FROM S NAIJ/CAMEROON VIA CONGO,FINALLY DEBUNKED 2![/b]

Some insist on archaeogenetics to ID vanished ethnic groups. The danger is the West can use false nomenclature like King Tut in 2010 where they claimed his R1 is shared by most Whites-rmbr that BS?

[url]Half of European men share King Tut's DNA - Reuters[/url]
Or they can use a misleading sample like todays MEs and insist that's identical to The Originals.

Increasingly,though with rising awareness among the wider public that ishyt won't fly and the Academic/Media Elite are forced to come clean publishing their sample size and methodologies. When they do so the results are unimpeachable.

Here's King Tut's fam real genetic analysis by DNAtribe. As you can see they're mainly Southern African bantu,Great lakes (also bantu) with the Tropical West African component comprising a quarter of the latter. Interestingly,the family has only trace Horn and Sahelian genes,the opposite of the expected Kushite ancestry many especially those who insist no bantus were in AE would expect.

Ramesses 111 was more Kushite,almost a full third,though unlike the King Tut fam he was mainly Great Lakes.

The 3rd chart shows their geographical regional affinities.

THE BANTU MIGRATION FAIRY TALE 1

The Learning Process never stop! Today we debunk once and for all the Bantu Migration fairy tale. Fyi,it was a colonial historiographer,US linguist,Joseph Greenberg who first came up with the theory. He's the same who invented the Afro-Asiatic language family to separate Kushites and Chadic speakers from Africa by pretending they're foreign immigrants. His theory goes Bantus,the majority of the African population,had nothing to do with any of the accepted cultures and civilizations in Egypt,Meroe,Napata,Kush,Axum and rusticated in the Cameroonian jungles until iron was invented around 2000 bc. The more adventurous Bantu then began crossing the massive impenetrable forest in 'small groups' over millennia until the continent was settled.

People still believe this ishyt and I'm putting a stop to it! The funny thing is Bantu migration stories have knowing to do with Cameroon or a Congo journey. Jan Vansina,a true researcher never believed in the Congo migration. His CV glitters with accomplishments!

Next,Niger-Congo speakers in unexpected places!

vankelvin:
This question should be a general question,
not only for Ghana, so when you get it that way, you will know its possible even-though we will not be able to meet our projected targets same for every Country.

Waaw,
COVID19 only happened in Ghana I guess?
But you are right, your country has perform so abysmal when it comes to the management of Covid19.
Testing is an issue, Health facilities have not seen any better improvement, not much has been done by your Government to help the Citizens recover their losses so you right when you say Ghana cannot meet its targets.
because Government is giving
3 months free water and Electricity,
50% pay increase to all health Workers and taxes canceled from their pay as well,
Interest free loans to companies ETC

rvp20182:
Yes, it interesting. I don't know if you can formalize by "force" or by nature? Kagame is trying to formalize by degree - even boda boda are now under heavy regulation including trip meters.

vankelvin:
Check the progress made by Ghana in the last 3 years and compare to Kenya and Tanzania?

Mkenya2019:
Kagame is really setting the bar high. it doesn't cost much for a city to plant trees, trim grass and collect rubbish - but many in Africa have made this look like rocket science.

Btw what do you think about Rwanda making most of informal trading you see in most africa countries illegal - like hawkers and all that.

Mkenya2019:
They are still part of HIPC with Ghana - heavily indebted poor countries. Now they are out of the LDC. But next year - COVID-19 - may see them going back to LDC

vankelvin:
Yes,
Want him to know about that one too..
And from that same page there are 2019 rankings which Ghana did better than Kenya and Tanzania, so he should know where to place Ghana as far as Africa is concerned.

Mkenya2019:
Tanzania the newly minted 'lower middle income' country will not like this. There was I time there were about to overtake kenya.

rvp20182:
Btw - I checked the latest GDP PPP - I see Ghanas and Tanzania are way lower than they normally want to claim

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.PP.KD?most_recent_value_desc=false

Tanzania 2019 149,785.48
Ghana 2019 164,640.54
Sudan 2019 169,474.85
Angola 2019 211,762.57
Kenya 2019 227,638.54

South Africa 2019 730,913.37

what? Bro Johannesburg make up most of our GDP contributing 34% to our economy....
You can Google to fact check that figure if you don't believe

Then we also have Durban and Pretoria(possibly even PE) that have bigger GDPs than Niarobi

Wealth not gdp

kikuyu1:
Trust me! Those MOFOS are even more delusional than most posters here. On top of that they're so riddled with emotional issues and complexes its a wonder their narrow dusty broken arses can even stand upright!

Fyi, Issaks ACTUALLY VOLUNTEERED TO PAY COLONIAL TAX IN THE 30s!? In the history of the world have you ever heard ishyt like that?

Its a loooonggg read but basically they wanted to be classed as Asian due to an innate anti African racism. They call us madh madhou ( Hard Hair) HONESTLY believing its a sign of inferiority. That mentality is what made them to try and seceed the NEP and join Somalia.

..

DAH FUQ!? WHO does that??



I could go on all day without any BS. Best way to know these guys is to listen to teachers who've suffered working for their offspring : screams, shouts, bleats, breaking glass and bloodstains of varying seriousness are the norm in a classroom of 60% above small Somalis. In fact this was THE REAL REASON teachers left the former NEP some years ago not Al Shabab attacks.

jln115:
it didn't need to specifically mention wether it's ppp or Nominal for a person of relative intelligence to see it was Nominal gdp they were talking about
