Well in politics, there's something call 'Influence'. It allows the wielder to mess with whoever or whatever they deem fit.

Once upon a time, Britain still wielded tremendous influence over our domestic politics. Hope you know this?

Joe, knock it off, will you?

Influence is different from bullying and intimidation.

Influence is diplomatic supplication and cajoling. Not public humiliation. David Cameron said, in front of an international media, " if Ghana passes the anti gay laws , we are going to cease our annual grants and aids".

Mind you, almost 90% of Ghana's budget is from foreign aid. That's not influence Britain was wielding, it was a spectacular show of unbridled power and humiliation.

joseph1832ng:

Well let's start with Liberia, or Gambia for example.

Understood.

Unfair comparisons! Liberia is still having scars of her civil war and the Ebola debacle. Gambia is tiny without any natural resources. Pick a country Ghana's own size.

joseph1832ng:


Okay bro. When I have the time. I stopped meddling with international politics because our domestic politics affects me more. It's becoming worrisome.

That's the more reason to look at geopolitics when domestic politics and economy are taking serious hits.

Better join me in foreign affairs for some serious trolling

makydebbie:
yup...we just got light now

Congrats Oya, charge up your mobile as big Joe ministers to you.

joseph1832ng:


Bottom line, did Ghana sign the anti-gay law or not?

Ghana failed to sign its own Anti gay laws because the British government through diplomatic pressure and blackmail asked her not to. That my Joe, is outside the purview of domestic politics, no?

joseph1832ng:



Never forget, a man who is healthy in body might be sick in the mind. Many African people are sick in their minds.

I am unable to see the correlation here. Please compare Ghana economically to countries who aren't neck deep in civil war.

joseph1832ng:


Libya was doing better than well when Gaddafi was there. Western interference caused that country to experience war.

I didn't say otherwise. I said Libya is doing better than Ghana by all economic indexes. And Libya is still going through the aftershocks of the Arab uprising till this minute.

joseph1832ng:



Are you sure Sudan is doing better than Ghana?

Have it googled for simplicity. Sudan tops Ghana.

makydebbie:
hey its lezznjr

maximum respect


yea,you got it right... its "Dumsor"


my neighbours even composed a song for it

Oh, yeah? So Dumsor contrasts with well calculated power interruption you earlier mentioned?

joseph1832ng:
Well you can. At least they didn't let tribal differences tear them apart even when they profess to one religion, Islam.

In my opinion, Ghana is way better than Somalia.

I meant Ghana's domestic politics should be left for them to handle. I didn't imply anything as regard the disgraced Laurent Gbabo.

No one has mentioned Ghana's domestic politics here.

David Cameron was the former British prime minister who threatened Ghana with aid and grants withdrawal should Ghana pass the anti gay laws!!!!

It snowballed into Ghana signing a pact with the EU to undermine indigenous SMEs and industries in the subregion until Nigeria had to rectify that slaving treaty April last year.

How do you measure the work rate of a sick man with that of a healthy man in the same scale? Reeks of cowardice to me.

Anyways, Sudan and Libya both war-torn countries are still doing well than "peaceful", "tribal-rancour-free" Ghana

joseph1832ng:
I'm sure Somalia is worse off than Ghana.

Well their internal democratic virtues should be their own problem. We have ours you know. People who celebrate kleptomaniacs.

Something is wrong with Africa, my home.

How do you compare a war-torn Somalia to Ghana who has been enjoying social stability for decades

And how is ECOWAS and Laurent Gbabo issues domestic?

joseph1832ng:


24 million. They're pretty small. Even the population of Lagos alone can compete with Ghana.

Yeah, 24 insignificant million that has a warped sense of their worth. With a laughable GDP of 50 billion dollars.

joseph1832ng:


But even at that, I still respect them same way I respect every African country. We are a people deceived into accepting something that didn't favour us at all.

Ghana is the national Judas in ECOWAS, bro. During the Ivory coast Laurent Gbabo brouhaha that slave nation showed her hands.

I don't have respect for a country that couldn't pass its own domestic laws because David Cameron asked them to stop.

Bunch of slaving newts.

joseph1832ng:
LOL. Well it's same way in Nigeria also. There are places here where they don't take light at all. Even in Egbeda, we're guaranteed at least 20 to 23 hours o light a day.

Ghana's electricity distribution is not only as epileptic as Nigeria's, they are dependent on Nigeria's gas which is given them at a pittance and still owe us millions in dept.

The West African gas line project was also a project which volunteer African countries set up to ferry gas from Nigeria, but Nigeria ended up forking out over 85% of Ghana's own part......

When there was chaos in the Niger delta or interruption in gas supply in Nigeria, it manifests in power interruption in Ghana.

Ghana doesn't have the means or luxury for nationwide uninterrupted power distribution despite being just 24 million in population.

joseph1832ng:
Hmm. Never knew things have changed in Ghana.

Next time, you can get a power-bank, just in case of this type of rare occurrence.

Lolz, the need to paint a larger than reality scenario to Nigerians by Ghanaians is a compulsion born out of a rivalry that shouldn't be there in the first place.

makydebbie:
not really that but it will be announced if they are gonna take it...so I'll be prepared, where I stay in Accra they hardly take light

Dumsor comes to mind easily.

That Ghanaian word for irregular, unpredictable power interruption in Ghana has also gone international too.

Ibime:

If your naivety were the Naira, it will trade for 2,000 to a dollar.

johnydon22:


Now this is more like it.

N.B: I advice any atheist, agnostic to ignore this thread, there isn't much to grab here except childish trolling.

Anybody who now wants attention on NL just need to open a thread with "atheist/atheism" when we start ignoring such nonsense, those who desperately seek our attention to feel relevant will find a better hobby.

Atheists are the one dying for relevance, continually struggling about an entity they say doesn't exist.

Bothers on trying to prove one's insanity.

Barney11:
itz just a nonsense question!

Implicit admission of defeat.

Creamish:


Really? The thought of it is repulsive actually. Which lady finds it pleasurable? lolz.. strange people exist.

Let's not get it twisted, some girls who tried anal sex have reported a perverse kind of intense pleasure.

Granted slightly painful at first try. But the nerve endings there make the pleasure inescapable.

Sweet taboo

Creamish:


Why don't u be more specific?

he is saying anal sex has a wild pleasure for ladies too

hibiscus76:
you've got quite a conflating ancestry...pm me if you wish to know more

you had that coming....go see.

hibiscus76:
I stand with you on this one...uhmm, need I believe I'm being wheedled here? I choose to be reticent on this one(_{its a public forum}).. except of course you're willing to do the needful as courtesy demands by talking about yourself as well..

Discretion you prefer then

I do not cajole, dear. I'm just being a hearty fellow who finds you quite interesting.

My ancestry cuts across South-West, South-South and South East. And I reside in the East and South-South. I'm a complete Nigerian

But I understand your need to be cautious. I should meet behind closed doors.

*Duplicated entry

Hey, knightngale, queen of my heart, you have run out again.

I'm still inside.

hibiscus76:
You're right but sometimes I see their Grammer as constituted jargon...sounds unreal to me dunno why..right guess..how did you make out my being from the east?

Lol!

Yes, people confuse grammar for English mastery. The Patrick Senator comes to mind. Any fool can pick up a dictionary and cram up high-sounding words to impress.

But true mystery and beauty of writing and speaking is in clever placement of everyday words and employing grammar only when simple words cannot adequately convey their meanings. That's it.

Study the works of Shakespeare, Achebe, Whrite, Dickson , etc, none were overly verbose....

Which part of the East are you from?

hibiscus76:
good command of English isn't selective of any course of study...initially twas draggy wanting to update my vocab beyond the layman's horizon but once I started, I didn't give in to any lay over sort of..that's it


And I'm impressed as well

Law students on an average makes the best orators but then a good part if language skill is pure aptitude.

And one could have a good dose of it irrespective of discipline.

You're from the East?

hibiscus76:
studied industrial chemistry

For a science inclined student, your diction is more than outstanding.
