you are quoting ghanaweb I'm quoting Forbes, United nations and your tourism ministry. kindly Google and see the numbers listed for year of return 2019
Torture2020: Stop all these crap. Bla bla bla Ghana received and made ......how is that helping to ease poverty in your country? Or even feed hungry people in your country?
Mr Man ease up. it is not war it's just debates. No hatred we are all africans and I can visit and live comfortably in any country amongst my people
vankelvin: Did you just mentioned ''Nightlife'' and you left Accra out of it? huh? Maybe you need to do an extensive search.. Accra the City that never sleeps?You cannot compare Nairobi Nightlife to Accra, as for Kampala you just missed the point.
I did not leave accra out I included it in cities with a vibrant nightlife. however I just feel southern Africa and by that I mean (S.a, Zim and Zambia)Nairobi, lagos and Kampala have a better nightlife. this however is debatable based on personal experience. Maybe I didn't get to experience Accra in all its form
Just30: Even the tourist thing, they are making less money.
Like for instance, last year, Ghana made 3.3 billion dollars from Year of Return alone.
Ghana received 1.2mn tourists in 2019 the year of return and made about 1.5 bn usd in the same year kenya received 2.4mn tourists and made about 2.5bn usd. Kenya also had 7.7mn international passengers transiting through Jkia Nairobi When it comes to tourism in SSA save for south Africa Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Rwanda beat all the rest of the countries in Africa
Name cities that does not beat mombasa? In terms of second cities
Kenya as a country receives about 2.4mn international tourists. half of them will pass through Mombasa. remember old town Mombasa is a UNESCO world heritage site. The economy of Mombasa is based on tourism and the port of Mombasa. So if Mombasa received half of that number clearly it has beat a lot of Cities in Africa in tourism, also countries as a whole just check the international arrivals in Africa
Austine1212: You should remember Nairobi has around 5m citizens, that is like 5 percent of kenya with legit development
Accra is better than mombasa, i been checking it out recently i did not like what i saw it loooks very very old city
Do you understand what is meant by a boom?
Tatu city where is it located?
Mombasa is a very old city 1100-1200 a.d while it has improved a lot in the last ten years Accra is indeed ahead of it in almost all aspects save for tourism. Mombasa beats most African cities heck even countries when it comes to tourism and culture.
Just30: Abuja was not built with night life in mind
Washington DC is also a dead city when it comes to nightlife
i've Never been to Washington DC can't speak for it I know why Abuja is dead in terms of Social life it is a technocrat city but on the outskirts in areas like gwagwalada and kuje there is life
vankelvin: I agree with you somehow, But lets be real over hear, Nairobi is far far beautiful and better planned than Accra. If we should compare Accra with Nairobi in terms of Electricity Water supply Educational Facilities Health Facilities Sports Facilities Road infrastructure Entertainment facilities ETC, there you have a point, Accra will stand tall but in areas of Real Estates, Shopping Malls,the beauty of the City, that I will not mince words, Nairobi beats Accra hands down.
Education, Health and Road infrastructure is better in All east African cities except Kampala. it is however notable that Kampala is ahead of most cities in Africa in terms of Education. Nightlife in Africa just mention all southern African cities, Lagos, Nairobi and Kampala. this cities lead Africa in Entertainment Accra is not far off. Abuja is dead in social life. Facts
vankelvin: Kampala can never compete with Accra.. I have taking time to research on many African Cities and Kampala is Certainly not Accra's class mate. Aside South Africa Cities and Northern African Cities, I will not bother myself comparing Accra to Nairobi Lagos Dar Es salam Addis Ababa Luanda Abidjan and Dakar But the other Cities cannot compete with Accra.
This I agree I could also add abuja and Lusaka. However it is important to note that Accra beats most of this cities in terms of safety and culture
Austine1212: Since 2014 SA sold more than 5m smartphones per year , they all got internet, not counting internet access in schools libraries
Even here 3 year olds have phones n stuff, even old people
Im just saying hey
Internet penetration and speed in Kenya is higher and faster than south Africa Kenya had the fastest internet speeds in 2017 until Madagascar laid their undersea cables. Madagascar is leading in Africa at speeds not access.
kikuyu1: Actually these exchanges are now tedious and tiresome. Dealing with special ed students isn't on my list of things to do today. I get your Sunday school indoctrination is important and you'll never escape the early childhood brainwashing.
Ah ofcourse as expected when pressured to present facts you divert the topic. classic tinfoil koolaid drinking "fake woke" the world isn't what it seems tactics.
You have stated clearly the kikuyus are jews you have stated that there is a domination pact between tutsi,nyankole, kikuyu and hima you have stated that kikuyu are from Ethiopia despite overwhelming evidence showing they are bantus you have stated that the current jews are fake and the whole world is in on the conspiracy. you have stated that the current jews are from s.russia
nowhere did I mention christianity I don't know what context those photos are meant to answer. look it's obvious you are living in delusion and it's rather obvious you are a pothead they are the ones who tend to believe this "woke" nonsense because like all mind altering substances they like living in a state outside reality. the most amazing thing is watching you go on a rant when nobody believes this b.s. Keep it up I've crowned you the resident clown of nairaland
if you'll notice I stopped quoting you. You rely too much on insults and emotions rather than facts, I have answered the question asked by your country mate and this is the reply that you have come up with nothing intellectual? you can do better
vaxx: The guy is a sell out idiot. how can you choose a country that barely has 1800 dollar in GDP per capital over a country with 2400? that alone shows there are lot of broke individual in TZ. I don't even need to do further research.
You are liable to make more money working in Accra than working in daraslaam or Nairobi
You rely too much on paper statistics. look I have nothing to gain by saying Tanzania is more developed than Ghana. they are both not my countries of origin or current residence, I'm basing this off of living in Ghana and visiting Tanzania. I mean when it comes to good roads and transport(aviation ) Tanzania is better this are facts. Heck Accra Kumasi rd linking two of the most important cities in Ghana is bad. you may say I can use the cape coast route but it's longer.
Tanzania has better infrastructure not only joining it's important cities but even towards all it's borders. You can make more money in Accra more than Nairobi haahahahah okay.
vaxx: I keep saying it you have a problem with word. throwing the word development all around without knowing the meaning is an act of ignorance.
This is development...
1. Access to electricity. 2. Quality of life for people in rural areas. 3. Favorable weather conditions. 4.overall HDI 5. Safety and security. 6. GDP per capita (nominal and PPP). 7. Internet access. 8. University research. 9. Manufacturing industry. 10. Diversified economy.
Analyze each of these factors and make a fair comparison between both country, you can even go ahead and add Kenya. let see which country perform better.
My reason for choosing health industry is simply because of its fair assessment. you only know a serious country by the amount of wealth she put in her health industry. health is akin to overall development.
right... you want me to add Kenya? or you have said Ghana beats both Kenya and Tanzania in development I didn't quite understand you. anyways as per your list let me speak for my country Kenya. Kenya beats Ghana in.all those you have mentioned except number 1, 4 and 5
vaxx: it become unbiased just because it appeared to favour your egocentric.
There is nothing like development in your country. from education to anything called basics of life . Ghana being smaller than Kenya with the biggest economy in east Africa has a bigger pharmaceutical industry than Kenya talkless of Tanzania . Ghana has more universities per capital than your country, it consume more cement per capital than your country, it has more commercial valued resources than your country, just name it
Ghana cocoa industry alone is bigger than your total export including tourism .
if Ghana and Tanzania are commodity, Ghana will be well valued in dollar terms than TZ
with all fairness you have cherry picked industries specifically pharmaceutical and cocoa I can do the same with horticulture in Kenya or dairy farming in Kenya or even cashew nut farming in tz and say Ghana cannot match us I said Tanzania is more developed and I still maintain it that way. It has better infrastructure, it has better tourism a better aviation industry,.more opportunities in manufacturing, the agricultural industry in Tanzania is better managed and it has entered into trade agreements with east and southern African countries which puts it in a very good position. plus a bigger population which means ready market for goods. this are what has led me to say that
However that doesn't mean Ghana is bad. No. Ghana has better health care, for the last few years I've seen Ghana invest in new projects Ghana has less poverty, Ghana has better social welfare programs.
But if I'm investor X and I have 10 million usd and my options are to invest in Ghana orTanzania I would choose Tanzania
there's nothing to debunk it was not an arguement I have lived in Ghana, and I'll leave it at that. Not only Ghana I have lived in three other African countries besides my own. I have visited 23 African countries in total.
chrisagyei: lol seriously, don't you get what am saying. 1.Ghana has more than 3% white European population which actually is more than million people
2.They are not Ghanaians by nationality because Ghana does not give citizenship to whites.
3.They stay in Ghana all their lives buh are relegated to the background and silenced in the public scene.
Watch this video and see the list of top ten richest people in Ghana. Majority of them are non Ghanaians buh they have all their lives and wealth in Ghana.
6.Ghana was in serious crisis in the 70s and 80s buh nobody ran away.Aside South Africa, Ghana is better than all the countries you listed in terms of quality of living and opportunities.
7.Ghana has long standing relationship with these Europeans than all the countries you listed.Ghana began engaging with these Europeans as far back as 1400s.
interesting so Ghana has over a million non-black people living in the country not citizens in the background as you put it, and they have lived there for centuries and they are not citizens wow. I think this is the end of this conversation
Kazikazi: You didn't answer my questions about Ghana having more opportunities than TZ. That's a lie.
Tanzania is more resource rich than Ghana
Tanzania has more tourist attractions and opportunities than GH
Agriculture wise,is the same thing. In transportation, TZ has more opportunities In manufacturing, its the same thing In fisheries, its also the same. Almost everything, TZ has more opportunities except may be oil sector.
Tanzania is more developed than Ghana and yes Tanzania has more opportunities than Ghana.
Ghana however has way less poor people, especially in the cities
kikuyu1: I tried to told you about your primary school history you pretend to know! The White Israelites are IMPOSTORS FROM S RUSSIA , KHAZARIA TO BE EXACT! Common sense question -who wears fur hats and coats in the sunny ME?
Why do THE Ashkenazi have Ga Adangbe first names as even the Gh posters can tell you? They have over 40 names in common and like many if NOT MOST Africans have a long ME history. Coincidence? Do you know the UV index is too high for non melanated people? What else explains such high skin cancer rates though the rate has fallen?
IT'S OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE BUT YOU THEY'RE IMPOSTORS FROM COLD EUROPE! In fact their own media has admitted as much.
I mean it's pretty bold of you to assume you are correct and the whole world is wrong. so all the countries of the world that have embassies in Israel do not know they are dealing with fake jews and kikuyu from nairaland knows this interesting.... yet nobody has ever called them out, even their arch enemies the arabs refer to them as our cousins. but every one else is wrong is it when did this fake jews from Russia migrate to Germany, France and the uk. I want to engage the mind of a conspiracy theorists today. p.s I'm interested in knowing which media house called out their b.s
Never use gdp as means of wealth,, HDI, PPP per capita, etc
Namibia however is better
GDP is also one of the ways to tell a country has opportunities not wealth. What you do is simply calculate the GDP of a country against it's population. for example Mauritius beats south Africa in HDI, PPP but I wouldn't say Mauritius has more opportunities that's a lie heck I wouldn't even say Mauritius or even Seychelles is more developed than South Africa. Gabon has a high HDI than kenya would you say Gabon is more developed?
chrisagyei: lol seriously, don't you get what am saying. 1.Ghana has more than 3% white European population which actually is more than million people
2.They are not Ghanaians by nationality because Ghana does not give citizenship to whites.
3.They stay in Ghana all their lives buh are relegated to the background and silenced in the public scene.

I have lived in Ghana I know Ghana doesn't have 3% of it's population being white. in fact I'll see a Europeans person five times more in Kenya and Tanzania more than i would in Ghana. you do however have more Lebanese and Chinese people.
Really Ghana is better than all those countries I've listed? Ghana which has a gdp of 65billion usd versus a population of 31million people has more opportunities than kenya, Tanzania and Namibia? okay as someone who loves Ghana dearly I politely disagree
Kazikazi: The wall will do very little to curb illegal immigrants. Most of illegal immigrants pass through the gate.Blame corruption. You won't reduce the numbers of borders.All borders are boosting trade.most of your SA products are passing through borders for markets in neighboring nations.Closing borders won't help your factories. But I think you should rejoice now since the rand is falling and the economy is going down.You should rejoice more because with your falling economy, most immigrants won't be interested to come into SA
the irony of writing up all this while still living in south Africa. heheheh some movies write themselves
chrisagyei: who has called Lebanese and arabs white?Various research has said white Europeans "excluding black Europeans, Lebanese, white Americans,black Americans, Koreans,Chinese, other Africans population makes up more than 3% of Ghana's population and i being a Ghanaian with much research in that field can confidently tell you that in fact white Europeans exceed 2 million people in Ghana. Thus the government even spending more than a billion dollars to capture and register these huge number of non Ghanaians (white Europeans included)formally and seperating them from the about 20 million Ghanaian citizens.
Europeans began settling in Ghana even before they discovered Southern Africa and the only thing that was hampering them from mass migrating was harsh weather conditions and rebellious nature of some Kingdoms and later Kwame Nkrumah who drove large amount of Europeans out of the country after independence buh a handful of them still remained and a lot of them has reemerged and number more than a million buh they're still not considered Ghanaians due to our constitution.
stop this you guy. stop misleading people are there white people descended from the early explorers yes a very small insignificant number. all those people being interviewed like the Korean lady being interviewed by wode maya are not ghanaians they have just settled there. If Ghana were to experience something like war they would easily go back to their countries of origin.
Ghana doesn't have a significant number of Europeans because it was never a settler economy. on the other hand south Africa Namibia Zimbabwe Zambia Kenya Tanzania
have more European descendants as citizens than in Ghana some are third even fourth generation, some can't trace their countries of origin. even in west Africa Ghana does not have more European descendants than ivory coast. So everyone is right and you are wrong Ghana does not have even over 100,000 Europeans. I doubt even the numbers of Lebanese and Chinese is close to a million. A million people is not a joke it is a significant part of a countries demographics.
Going by your logic all countries that have tourists visit the country and decide to stay should be considered citizens?
identity according to me is your lineage where you are from, your history your beliefs and yes your name plays a vital role in this. the first thing that was done to slaves was rob them of their identity by giving them new names and new beleifs through lashes and even death. I'm assuming you are a bantu south African do you know some bantu tribes you could tell their profession in the societies through their names. like medicine men, blacksmiths etc
South Africa has a variety of cultures. I saw a lot of coloureds, blacks and whites even asians. But if I tell you I saw an interracial couple I'll be lying. the person I'm talking about was Black 100% darker than me and both his names were boer. this took me by surprise, I wouldn't say he is from a mixed background but who knows?
kikuyu1: No. I said Tutsis and their Banyankole/Hima kin. I've been to both Rwanda and Uganda and drawn my own conclusion. Talk to Congolese or Ugandans. A later migration from N Ethiopia happened 900 yrs ago and Kuyu Woreda was a dispersal point.
[size=24pt]OHH FVCK OFF! IVE POSTED MORE THAN ONCE THE PRESENT ISREALITES ARE IMPOSTORS FROM S RUSSIA!?[/size][size=24pt][/size]
There's nothing like 100% human in this world,much less Kyukes. I told you to come srowry with the unsolicited homilies,son;you don't know me or anyone here IRL. Obviously you still ascribe to the Bantu migration theory-THAT'S STILL JUST AN UNPROVEN THEORY! The purpose was to separate us into SS and N(Caucasoid)Africa and succeeded. Fyi,I've actually been in the Ituri for a week chasing up a E DRC timber concession over a decade ago and the thought of small groups of Bantus crossing an impenetrable 1500 k forest in small groups is laughable. Its literally impenetrable-no paths and the canopy so thick you need torches. Imo that's the main reason why the migration never happened. Too logistically challenging-I know a guy doing some software installation in the area 7 yrs ago who need a HELICOPTER to get from his tented accommodation to the offices 5 km away.
really now the over seven million people living in Israel are all imposters? I mean the current people in Israel since 1948 have come from all corners of the world. many of them were in western Europe while others were in Eastern Europe there are some jews from the middle east and North Africa, also some are from Ethiopia. you mean the whole world watched and agreed as imposters settled in the "holy land" and fooled everyone they were jews? Kikuyu from nairaland is the only person in the world who wasn't fooled pahahahahahahaaah I give up. stay with your beliefs.

heheheh so now kikuyus are not part of the axle that you mentioned, the hima nyankole tutsi axle. good to hear
Let me ask you, do you really believe kikuyus came from Ethiopia? and how comes there isn't even a single bantu tribe left in those areas or even bantu speaking populace? one thing about bantus they could be conquered yes but they would never loose their languages to any invaders. I.e with the nyankole and tutsi they are foreign to those lands but they speak bantu languages. the arabs, persians and portugese along the east African coast are foreign but they speak a bantu language. Please explain how the bantus migrated from North Africa and ME or even Ethiopia without leaving a trace and according to your logic they also penetrated the thick forest to get to Angola, DRC and Gabon from the north. or like your friend they also called a chopper?
