Then you probably not been sincere . having cash in Ghana has now become a choice ( though there is little room for improvement) everyhouse in Ghana has been electronically tagged . just with the punch of your computer, you can open up a lot of digital address system. . nearly all payment made to Ghana givement are done electronically.


some hotels will not even accept cash from you

What are you trying to justify? I've been to both countries, I do not engage in silly arguments you can check my history. I am telling you the truth. Kenya's mobile money is above all the countries I've been to in Africa. Ghana included.

vaxx:
keep telling lies to relax yourself .

tell me what features is MPesa having that momo is not having . at least your mpesa is yet catches up in inteperobiility

I can't justify this with an answer let me put it this way. when I was in Ghana I had to re learn using cash. I never use cash in Kenya. I even forgot my atm pin in kenya so I had to save it as a contact.

rvp20182:
Yure typically insane Ghanaian with small country ambitions....there is probably nothing mobile money that doesn't exist in Kenya

Told you this guys were trolling you. I've used Momo it is Mpesa in 2010.

leQubit:
Thats the problem we got here..you folks read stuff online the assume things...The bank money thingy is an old thing here..Am laughing myself like what this ..Like transferring of money to an from the bank is big deal.. dude give up...

You are being trolled, Mpesa has won multiple awards nobody ever mentions Momo in any platform that's why you see the Nigerians are not arguing with you guys.

Just30:
you keep making noise

There are almost 40 million mobile money Accounts in Ghana.

There are 15 million active mobile money users in Ghana

MTN momo has 8.7 million active users, you can calculate the percentage yourself.

I know you are trolling the kenyans here, you love doing that it's fine just know some of us have lived in Ghana and I will tell you categorically, Mpesa is not only years ahead of any mobile money platform in Africa it is light years ahead of Momo

Kibera man,
Is that what u are busy lying to each other in those slums when sipping chang'aa?

your president is admitted at Nairobi hospital my dude
and now even your finance minister is in Hdu in the same hospital phillip mpango it is not a lie..sorry

lennymutai:
Tanzanian president Dr John pombe maghufuli admitted at Nairobi hospital.Our thought and prayers are with you doctor.

Yes Magufuli is admitted at Nairobi hospital with breathing difficulties ,it seems also Kenyan opposition chief is also admitted there
heavy security presence around the hospital.

jln115:
the trees in Nairobi were also planted by man id0it....

And yes Joburg destroyes Nairobi wrt greener

Nairobi while it has a lot of trees planted by local authorities. Nairobi has two forests within the city limits
Ngong and Karura forests.
Nairobi also has countless wetlands and Natural swamps. Nairobi has one main river and seven tributaries. When you are counting green cities in Africa
Nairobi has to be mentioned.[b][/b]

Kazikazi:
Bullshit.
Nyerere too was anti Israel man. He closed Israel embassy in Tz and supported the Palestinians.Nyerere was against the western nations that's why he waged a war against them by hosting many liberation movements in TZ,he also fought against RENAMO rebels who were supported by the west and south African apertheid government.
You have been a fool to think that your Gadafi was a hero. He was stupid. A pan African man couldn't think of fighting TZ which at the time was hosting and supporting many people who were against the colonizers ( the west).
What you didn't know and am sure your mind can't understand is,Gadafi was a staunch believer of Islam. His main aim was to make Africa as a whole an Islamic state.He started doing that by building mosques in many places around Africa.He didn't end there,he dished out money in support of terrorism.And that wasn't all,Gadafi paid people especially men in many parts of Africa who were marrying christian girls so that they can become Muslims. In TZ,he paid more for a Muslim guy who marries a christian girl raised by a pastor or clergymen.

No doubt nyerere was a pan African and he followed the soviet bloc, he indeed closed the Israeli embassy in Tanzania, but put aside village gossip, Gaddafi was an African hero who took on the west and showed Africans how to invest in themselves..iddi amin invading Tanzania was his way of showing the middle finger to the west like i said he was wrong and he did indeed loose, Kenya closed its border and the Ugandan economy collapsed. about islamizing Africa village politics that.

IGpro1:
before i engage anyone in any matter I must have at least experienced or heard it from the source, If you never visited libya under Ghadafi please don't quote me on this matter again. His evil far outweighs his good, like far far. Ghadafis destroyed his first wife with acid. Many have forgotten the Palestinian leader who visited him and never left Libya till date. The Aircraft bombings. you know nothing about Libya other than Whites did this or that. Develope yourself and the whites will worship you. They go to Kenya, South Africa,TZ and others for tourism.
If any African Country can develop, they will worship you.
Or is it the west that gives you self centered leaders who steal everything they lay their hands on? Is that also western PR. Boy shut up and stop hanging Africas underdevelopment on the whites. I hate that mentality of telling ourselves we are like this because another man wants us to remain that way. One thing I love about Kenya is the way they built something out of less resources, though their focus is on one city. Africans just started doing what Asia started almost 30 years ago.

Stop jumping around the topic we are talking about libya
the country that had no external debt pre 2011, universal Healthcare, had the highest HDI in Africa free education till university for all its citizens, had gold reserves of usd 9bn, had 6bn in cash reserves, had 100% electricity for all its citizens.. but what happened after 2011 when the allies or the whites destroyed the country? please tell me

Kazikazi:
Don't call him a hero. !at be a hero he was in your small head.
For me,and many others who refused to swallow lies,we can't accept Gaddafi and his deceptions.
At one time he call himself a pan africanist.
The next day he fight Julius nyerere and Tanzania which at those days we were leading on fight against colonizers in southern Africa and Africa as a continent. But here came your Gadafi, helping a Ugandan dictotor to invade Tanzania and kill the civilians!

Understand the context, Gaddafi was helping Uganda because iddi amin was anti Israel, this was a war bigger than your Tanzanian village..Iddi amin wanted to attack western nations by threatening their interests in both kenya & Tanzania he started with Tanzania because he thought they were easy pickings, he was wrong kenya closed the border and Uganda couldn't get military, medical and food from Mombasa port. he lost the war

It's so annoying to see some defending and celebrating dictators. muamar Ghadafi was evil and crazy. a man that chose virgin women as his body guard,whose image the citizens bowed down to in public places. Of course those calling him an African hero, have never travelled to the country. A friend of encountered horror in their refugee camps under Ghadafi, were they'd feed blacks to lions and crocs. They forget it was his people who rose against him and eventually killed him. They forgot how he called them rats. He wanted an Islamic African country were he would be the president, only Nigeria stood against that ambitious plan, as a result wanted the country to split so he could have control. ...the west has helped Africans destroy themselves, because we don't have intellectual and patriotic leaders.
There's nothing like Pan African unity.

Same people think Christianity is the problem of Africa, what a hopeless thought.

It's a shame that you have lived all your life believing western media and castigating your own..Nigeria didn't stand for nothing, Nigeria should be divided across religious lines anybody who doesn't beleive this is naive,
FYI a lot of the rebels who overthrew Gaddafi were from Algeria, Egypt and yemen..sponsored by the west. Gaddafi never fed black people to lions Gaddafi was using Black people in his military infact that's the sole reason black people are being killed in Libya right now because they were pro Gaddafi, killing of blacks in Libya has come after his death
Get your facts right before posting nonsense.

gallivant:
I thought his own people stuck a gun in Ghadaffis' rectum! I am all for Pan Africanism but since when did Muamar Ghadaffi become an African hero? Smh

Gaddafi's entourage was bombed by a French military plane and rebels armed by France and USA directed towards the wreckage where they killed him Libya right now just like somalia has fallen. every region has a warlord, yes Gaddafi was an African hero, he single-handedly funded Africa's first satellite Wimax Bridge
He was funding the African union, investing in African nations, plus giving out practical solutions, like splitting of Nigeria Africa having it's own currency pegged to gold which majority comes from Africa(reason for his assassination)he wasn't a Saint but he was an African hero

mtisTheQubit:
Ok bro..

Btw I'm saying that with love bro..all the time you have used to research on other African countries just to win kindly spare some time for general knowledge and history.

And this is just SA

None of this inventions came from an African
FYI boers are not Africans plus they were privy to western education before landing in the southern hemisphere

mtisTheQubit:
So if the british congurers were using bows an arrows you think they could have defeated the maumau...an about the Chinese ,why were they whipped by the Japanese...better tech bro..
Same way Hitler was able to conguer most of western european until his ego led him astray..

I think you should expound your brain more than this measurement of joysticks on nairaland!!

rvp2018:
Kevo, I think we tend to look at history from a narrow perspective. The European (white) dominancy is not even 1,000 yr. At best the European/White have been on top for 500yrs - while Humans have nearly 6 billion years or something that crazy. It's a blip in history. Egyptian (essentially Black) civilization lasted for MILLENIUMS. The American (leave USA/European) lasted centuries.

The western civilization is not even a millennium ...which 1,000 yrs.

For example in Africa - Arabs/Islam civilization came and conquered a millennium ago - the white would check in 500yrs later.

Agreed

jln115:
there were massacres all over Africa before and after colonisation that's the point....white colonisers didn't bring murder, genocide, rape ect ect to Africa... That was here long before the whitey came

really point them out especially genocide and rape..I'd love to hear this

mtisTheQubit:
So the europeans concurred africa using stones ehh..
War is won by the mighty..the one baring strong tech..an yes better naval ships an guns helped the white man conguer africa an americas ..fact

You've jumped a few statements my dude started with science, education, modernity now we are in war without you answering anything you claim okay..

Anyway according to history and it always repeats itself
the Chinese were better fighters they invented guns after all, the Arabs were better seafarers the only reason Europeans won is simple their objective was conquest.
They didn't have strong tech as you have wrongfully claimed it is in their nature destruction. They would come as traders, missionaries and noble men as soon as you let your guard down the would seize that opportunity, they still do it up to today

jln115:
African tribes were docile? Tell that to the 2 million that died during the mfecane or the slaves of the berber traders....

FYI I never said the white man came to save Africa that's all in your head bru!!

P.S

"Tarmacadam is a road surfacing material made by combining macadam surfaces, tar, and sand, invented by Scottish engineer John Louden McAdam in the 1800s"

Mfecane is representative of all Africans no? everybody in Africa participated in it or?
when mfecane was happening in s.africa napoleopnic wars were happening in Europe does this mean all Europeans were like that?

FYI I meant paved roads and streets not tarmac

mtisTheQubit:
Again try to follow...I said every society got it's bad an good..but thing you can't deny is impact of western education on societies.the scientific inventions it come with..
The Chinese also had theirs but couldnt compete with europeans at that time..the white man colonized most of the world because he had superior tech..fact...he did not colonized africa while using bows an arrows..
Am trying to be objective here bro..

What is the impact of western education on Africa?
what are the scientific inventions have come from Africa having this western education?
Really the Europeans colonized the world because they had better tech? what did they have? guns? nuclear kindly explain

jln115:
I never said all of Africa would be like Ethiopia if it wasn't colonised M0r0n, don't make up arguments to things I never said, I simply stated Ethiopia is the only yardstick we have.... Even if you don't want it to be.

All of Africa had tribes that conquered each other not unlike Ethiopia.... So don't come with that b.s as an excuse

You know I think you should re-read what you wrote and follow it up on what I wrote and then call yourself this word

jln115:
biggest fvcking lie!!!

Of course the Neanderthal gene came itching when you saw that, you are salivating how you will tell me Africans were killing each other(true) and how the white man came to save us oh God spare me.. you've only highlighted one sentence in the whole paragraph because you want to tie me down and claim victory yet you've glossed over the error that you wrote about tarred roads
Listen everywhere in the world human beings live in sane societies, you do find evil people amongst them murderers, rapist and thieves yes they were there..We had African tribes who were conquerors, we had African tribes who were docile but was killing, raping and thuggery the norm. Hell no that is a very strong forte of the white man

mtisTheQubit:
Dude again stop with delusion of perfect african society..we know there were ritual killings an bad stuff happening..
An this universities what did they invent..just asking...

So in Europe there weren't ritual killings? burning of witches was a common practice in Europe or it's an exclusive African problem..define the "bad stuff happening"
Everybody who goes to university has to invent something no? well they were very good craftsmen, medicine men and excellent traders all skill which can be attributed to good education, fyi the richest man in history is a product of this dynasty(keita dynasty)

mtisTheQubit:
Dude try to follow the logic here...western education brought opportunities for africans to make their life more bearable..

Unless you agree with boko haram who argue that western education is bad then try to follow what am saying..some african practices were good an others were bad..an that ok coz it applies in all societies..
But please don't preach to me ths perfect way of traditional african way of living coz it's crap..let's call a spade a spade ..

boko haram was the traditional way of African education? what makes traditional African way of living crap? care to expound..do you know that the keita dynasty 1100AD had universities? and that people from as far as Greece used to come to study there so please my good sir kindly explain to me how traditional african way of living was "crap"

mtisTheQubit:
That's all good bro..but let's agree people got different tastes..some will say the love their netflix than cattle hunting..just saying

Again with the silly statements.. so anybody in the world who wasn't colonized by the Europeans doesn't have Netflix and is a cattle hunter?

jln115:
was Ethiopia ever colonised... Yes or No?

You tell me, you are trying to justify all of Africa would have been like Ethiopia if it weren't colonized I'm not stupid I can see through you, despite me giving you a very good reason why Ethiopia should not be the yardstick

jln115:
I agree one could definitely argue if Africa would have been better of without colonisation..... But then again Ethiopia is an example that it would probably be the same...

Don't speak of things you don't know about, Ethiopia was ruled by emperors and as with all empires they seek to always expand in doing so they swallowed other tribes and other religions from their own e.g Islam. when Italians annexed part of their country all the people united to defeat them, this created a temporary feeling of statehood amongs all people which came to an end in 1974, as with all kingdoms e.g prussia once you incorporate conquered territory without assimilation into your area chances of collapse usually are high
So Ethiopia would not be the best example.

IGpro1:
you are a kid...and know nothing about the devilish African religion. African religion is demonic practices, like voodoo, whitcraft, and all devilish acts... killing of twins, burying dead kings with human Sacrafice, evil forests, albino hunting. Etc.. Christianity liberated Africa. And brought light.

OMG!! it's 2021 and someone actually believes this?

mtisTheQubit:
Boss what was the living standards of those guys at that time..even with all that gold it was just nothing trust me..popping in the bush is not cool bro whatever way you look at it..what white man brought wasn't that bad..
Folks today live a better life than those kings ..fact

Stop being silly and learn history, You think Africans were bush creatures? I can promise you we lived better, no thugs, no murders no corruption because we were virtuous people religion was brought to subdue us and with your thought process it clearly worked.
I've even seen the boer asking if there were paved roads in Africa before the white man came as early as 1500 the kingdom of benin had paved streets, as early as 1492 the kingdom of kongo had an ambassador to Portugal and an ambassador to the Vatican. As early as 900Ad Mombasa, kilwa, Mogadishu were already major trading hubs this is even before the Arab as earlyas 1800 before the comingofthewhiteman in buganda kingdom they were alreadyperformingc sectionson women beforethe whiteman even knew, As early 1800 the worlds largest hand dug lake was built in buganda this shows high engineering skills,I'm ashamed that an African can live this long without learning their own history

Why would i even be comparing SA To Rwanda that's stupid,

What im saying people should stop giving africa a bad name

You must be aware i never even mentioned SA

dude you've mentioned rwanda like six times. obviously their progress is getting into your head. Fyi rwanda is called Singapore of Africa because their system of governance follows lee kyuan's model and it has worked. Kigali is ranked the most livable city in Africa.not once have i seen you congratulate one African country on their progress I've seen you shit on lagos, Nigeria Nairobi kenya and dar, tz. now you are on to rwanda hehehe men you are either jealous or full of negativity
