@ Shesi

whether mining whites exploit locals everywhere or not, the point is that practice should be stopped any where be it ghana or 9ja. i know u have to agree with me on this. i doubt an argument on this should continue.

Ikeyman,

this is not a right way to approach an arguement. I have read a couple of threads here and I am hearing tribalism repeatedly here. abeg, tribalism is not an issue in ghana. on a scale of 0 to 10, tribalism counts at lets say 0.7. abeg dats the truth. I am surprised u are sayin that some tribes are not happy mills won. look NDC and NPP have strong holds in certain parts of ghana, but there are even some times when those places vote against the expected outcome, take for instance the Brong Ahafo region, NPP won those regions in 1996, 2000, and 2004. but in the 2008 election, they lost that region woefully.

Ikeyman, i dont think comin here to post aythin just for competition sake wud save face for naija or make ghana look bad. u know facts dey ground. its quite pathetic that 9ja today at this point upon all the resources wud be fightin for superiority over ghana, when it should have been in comparison with the singapores and malaysia of today. we and our leaders have failed ourselves.

@Manuel, I agree that they may not be taking up arms, but compare the day to day living with polluted water/farms/fumes etc, the level of environmental intrusion is on a totally different scale, in the Niger Delta.  We are also talking about a whole region in the Niger Delta. I understand they do not see their government in opulence, but maybe simply because they dont live nearby, and not  necessarity because high ranking Ghanaian politicians live a very meagre and modest life. They are also the same when it comes to allowing foreign firms to basically do what they like in the country.

If the communities are not getting the money for development, SOMEONE ELSE CERTAINLY IS, (I'm quite sure its not the local motherless baby shelter).
Now dat is correct. It is a pathetic case of Africa that we allow all these whites into the continent to exploit us. but point is if government no corrupt too much, dat one na good startin point. it makes the agenda of tacklin the gold diggin whites a step closer. but when gov't is corrupt and whitee to dey wreck havoc, it becomes one Herculian task.

and the communities get wat they desrve in accordance to the ignorant contracts signed by the community leaders and the whites in the pre-indepence days.

if u have heard, the new government has started steps in reviewing those contracts. most of the money for the mining communities is not chopped by gov't officials, it is chopped by the fireign firms dat do the mining.

e just dey pain me say i go soon leave the net, I am actually on my way to kumasi now to have some fun. i guess when i get there i will check out this thread again. peace y'all, Oseikrom i dey come ooo

@manuel, you are being very unfair to the people in the Niger Delta, they bhave always tried to be peaceful and civilised, look what happened?

The peaceful way did not work, so they took up arms. I'm not excusing it, but dont now paint them black just because they were pushed to the wall.

As far as the mining comminities in Ghana, some are also going though a bad time , its just not widely publicised.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7Mz4hsCEpk
Ok Londoner I am very sorry if i sounded insultin. Ok i retract any form of unintended abuse at the ppl of Niger-Delta. Infact I render an unqualified apology

But londoner, i can assure u that mining communities in ghana are going thru bad times, but the corruption is atleast controlled and minimized. their communities are not gettin the needed development, but they are not up in arms because they don't see their politicians livin in oppulence and excessive wealth. dat one no mean say corruption no dey, but sha it is not blatant corruption that insults the ordinary citizen. there is room for improvement in that regard tho. but still ghana dey try

@Manuel,and if their leaders were responsible what do you think Akwatia {their diamond land} and Obuasi [their gold land}should look like? The Govt extract this things without even if people live there or not.Ask about Consolidated diamonds, its a govt company like the Cocoa board but It has packed up why?corruption!eaten to the bone.They only tell you what they want to be told.

Anyway it's Africa and we are doing our thing.
Ok all the mining and all in Akwatia and parts of western region. look the thing is mining started in those parts even in the pre-independence era but the ppl there have never carried guns like wat goes on in Niger-Delta. u know why?

1. the society is quite civilized

2. They enjoy some benfits from the mining that goes on there. tho they are not given all that is due them.

3. there is corruption but not to an extent that the politicians are excessively wealthy whiles the rest reel in abject poverty.

4. apart from the president , vice and a few other government officials nobody uses siren. Even ministers don't. I remember somewhere september 2008, the then Minister of local government Asamoah Boateng was in trafic like an ordinary ghanaian. i was in a taxi just by his car. The taxi i was in and his car all waited for the trafic light to go green b4 we moved.

Gbawe:
No one is disputing that !!!! Most people simply do not understand that I am argueing against this blatant and factually incorrect boast

It is lack of modesty and a distinct delusions of Grandeur that would make any Ghanaian to proclaim Ghana as the "true Giant of Africa" !!! Haba . We are all happy to praise Ghana all day while we put down our own nation (check my previous posts) but let us not not start endorsing outright lies that renders discussions innacurate . Most Nigerian graciously  concede that South Africa is the actual Giant of Africa so it would seem a wild leap of the Imagination for Ghanaians (even if they will disrrespect Nigeria ) to now crown themselves "the true Giant of Africa"  ahead of other nations that has what Ghana has and more like SA, Egypt , Tunisia, etc
Ok na true u talk Gbawe. but seriously i have been in ghana long and i dont think i have ever heard anyone proclaim hey are giants of africa. i bet most ghanaians havent even heard that statement before grin

But one thing I can put ma b*lls on is dat elections can't be rigged in ghana & rawlings is disillussioned. lipsrsealed

@Manuel yes,Rawlings is corrupt! they are all corrupt! but there is so much money to steal in Nigeria compare to Ghana that's why when you hear the money our politicians are stealing you will go like wahoo. Look at the Ghana @ 50 that they are probing now,and also the issue of Tshasi Tshikata of the NDC,it's always there, if govt did nt change hands then you probably might not hear of this probing and sentencing.

Not too many people are rich in Ghana and even their level of illiteracy I bet you it is scary! if you really know Ghana. I am not talking of their universities or maybe some student who could not get into university in Nigeria run to Ghana to school oo.I am talking of how many teenage in the public can converse in English, even in the capital?


Maybe they are getting better but I think I know Ghana too well to believe what people say!
Yes most of them like speakin twi, but the fact remains that the society is better orgnized and the leaders are less corrupt and more responsible. lets forget about the fact that there is no much money there but the little available is used quite well (relatively). i bet if the corruption level in naija was like that of ghana, u know the Niger-Delta wud look something close to newyork

Ok dem dey probe Ghana @ 50 fine! but 9ja no go probe. if 9ja probe sef na for show. I bet u know dat correct results go come out from dat probe abi?

Yes Nana's father was this,he was that and he was corrupt! that was why he was among the people killed by Rawlings!
and rawlings was not corrupt? sherry truthfully dont u think rawlings is an hilarious personlity? he accuses falsely becos he thinks evrybody is like him. rawlings killed a couple of people for alleged corruption during his military AFRC days in the 1970's but he prooved nothin. it was all based on perception. when he came into power, u know he was also quite corrupt. u know his best friend was Sanni Abacha.

and sherry u no wan confirm the fact say elections in ghana are beamed live on the various media so it is quite difficult to rig.

And also dont forget Nana and kufuor had some lil beef goin on between the two of them and it is open secret that even kufuor wanted Nana Akuffo Addo to loose so that Mills wud win, why then wud he even think of riggin. and u know its almost impossible.

@Manuel, the mp's case went to court immediately and it took the jury three years to deliver! you said other places see more light than Accra? maybe you hook me up one of this days in Accra let me show you round about two or three more regions

Talk of accountability? yes they are more accountable those that of Nigeria but that does not mean they are not also corrupt! they only steal lesser money because there is no so much money as in Nigeria.

Alright why was someone caught involve in cocaine biz allowed to stand for presidential election? if not the same virus that eat Nigeria and is now eating them?
Sherry there is corruption every where even in the US but sincerely do u think there can be someone like IBB in ghana, loot so much money and walk freely on the streets of Accra, thats almost impossible,

Talkin about the coaine thing, u are talkin of nana auffo addo, please he has never been caught on record of dealin in cocaine, the allegations flyin about was that he uses cocaine. sincerely if u check ghana's history, u will see dat akuffo addo is from an affluent family. his uncle and his dad were major players along side kwame nkrumah in gainin independence for ghana. and his father was a high court judge, his father later become prime minister.

please check out his family profile from uncles to cousins to nieces to nephews to children to grand children, u know they are well to do. he akuffo addo himself has a bachelor's degree in economics from the uni of Ghana legon, and is a trained lawyer in france and britain.

Lol, we can say that Nigeria is the sleeping giant of Africa, but I dont see how Ghana is a giant in Africa or in the West African region. Is it because of peaceful elections or 24 hour light?

Fine, Ghana deserves a pat on the back for that no doubt, but that is the bare minimum a country should have, how does that give it giant status? Is Ghana the only country to have free and fair elections or constant electricity? Is it the only country in west Africa to have ever done that?

You are comparing yourself to Nigeria while Nigeria is at its weakest and you at your strongest. When both counties are on the same footing, then judge. You cant be standing up while a man is lying down and claim you are taller, lol

I applaud Ghana and the many other countries in Africa who have had fair and peaceful elections and have made positive steps in their political landscape, but that was not always the way, so why get puffed up over it?
Proud yes, but puffed up no.

The people who may have prevented you ever seeing this day were slain before they had the chance.
Be Thankful for that twist in your history
oboy i feel u, u talk some sense but,  I wud be surprised if ghanaians realy care about the giant of africa status, sincerely, i doubt that many ghanaians wud think of dat. wat matters to most ghanaians as i have observed is that they wud surely not vote back a leader that f*ucks up.

Oboy wo I school in ghana, diference deeeeey, diference dey, why are so many naija students goin to skool in ghana? its becos the system is better managed.

I bet you wonder if this is your Ghana!

People go to Ghana,stay in Accra and come home to cry stupid cries saying they have seen this and that.It is same as saying the way Garki or Maitama looks is the way Nigeria as a whole should look.
please besincere to urself, other places see more constant light than accra becos of the huge population, i woudnt lie dat some places like obuasi and the rest are not as developed as accra, but abeg ghanaian leaders are more accountable to their ppl than naija leaders. be sincere dont u feel an atmosphere of assured human rights in ghana. and be true to urself, u know jerry rawlings is fond of makin flamboyant false allegations. ppl like jerry rawlings just keep government on thier toes. do u know he even critizes the Atta mills government, a governement of his own party?
