Jarus:
Same here too. Even if we use Enyimba or Kano Pillars, we will still qualify. Except maybe the group is made up of Nigeria-Ghana-Egypt-CIV, and only one team must qualify, which is not possible, because these teams are always seeded.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1 link=topic=539789.msg7038400#msg7038400 date=1288349825]As for Ghana, it is a known fact that she can only meet 50% of her 2010 budget and unlikely to meet 50% of her projected 2011 budget projects, hence the warning from international agency two weeks ago that Ghana's economy might suffer long time debt repayment if the present govt continue with her ambitious reforms and MASSIVE borrowing. Do I suddenly believe all of the international agencies report because the report is based on  Ghana, certainly not, however like I always say (with these agencies), there is always an element of truth in their report(s), but their weakness is that they always hype their findings to justify their report![/quote]So u wud believe this too right?,


Ghana shows African nations can meet millennium goals

Written by: George Fominyen



DAKAR (AlertNet) - Ghana's success as the only African country to have met most of the U.N. targets on poverty and hunger should inspire its neighbours on the continent whose progress on the Millennium Development Goals has so far been slow, experts say.
According to government and U.N. figures, the West African country reduced the proportion of people suffering from hunger by three quarters between 1990 and 2004 and halved the share of citizens living on less than $1.25 a day between 1991 and 2006 - a stellar performance well ahead of the global deadline for achieving the eight goals in 2015.
The country is also on track to attain primary education for all children and gender parity in all levels of education as set out in the MDGs.
(Click here for a graphic on Ghana's MDG progress)
"Ghana has witnessed a relative economic boom and the government made use of that to effect policies to reach the poor," said Mamadou Biteye, Oxfam's director for West Africa.
Programmes to develop agriculture, industry, mining, and electricity networks in rural areas, provide small loans to the poor, create jobs and improve nutrition have all helped cut the levels of hunger, child malnutrition and poverty in communities across Ghana.
"Ghana has shown the possibilities for dramatic progress in tackling hunger and poverty," aid agency ActionAid said in a report entitled "Who's Really Fighting Hunger?".
Some analysts sounded a note of caution though, saying that Ghana's overall success hides some inequalities on the ground.
"Such glowing figures of progress are not glowing for everyone," Oxfam's Biteye told AlertNet.
Despite the decline in poverty nationally, the remaining pockets of destitution disproportionately affect some regions, women and people in certain types of employment. Moreover, in some areas of the country high levels of poverty persist, particularly in the three northern regions that are home to more than 70 percent of extremely poor Ghanaians.
"A better distribution of the benefits of (economic) growth through safety nets for the most vulnerable is what is needed from successful countries like Ghana," Biteye said.
ActionAid added that Ghana's government must do more to protect the land rights of small-holder farmers and help them adapt to climate change, as well as increase overall spending on small-scale agriculture which is vital for eradicating hunger.
But the environment for achieving the MDGs remains right in Ghana thanks to the so-called "social protection" programmes set up by the government, for example monthly cash transfers for extremely poor families, a national health insurance scheme and free school meals which encourages more children to enrol, boosts attendance and improves children's health.
"If the political will is there, I think it is possible and realistic to meet the MDGs in sub-Saharan Africa with the knowledge and resources available," Biteye concluded.

U.S. slips to historic low in global corruption index

On Tuesday October 26, 2010, 4:38 am EDT
By Dave Graham

BERLIN (Reuters) - The United States has dropped out of the "top 20" in a global league table of least corrupt nations, tarnished by financial scandals and the influence of money in politics, Transparency International said on Tuesday.

Somalia was judged the most corrupt country, followed by Myanmar and Afghanistan at joint second-worst and then by Iraq, in the Berlin-based watchdog TI's annual corruption perceptions index (CPI).

The United States fell to 22nd from 19th last year, with its CPI score dropping to 7.1 from 7.5 in the 178-nation index, which is based on independent surveys on corruption.

This was the lowest score awarded to the United States in the index's 15-year history and also the first time it had fallen out of the top 20.

In the Americas, this put the United States behind Canada in sixth place, Barbados at 17th and Chile in 21st place.

Jointly heading the index -- in which a score of 10 indicates a country with the highest standards, and 0 as highly corrupt -- were Denmark, New Zealand and Singapore with 9.3. They were also at the top of the table last year.

Somalia scored 1.1. The watchdog group said its table was based on "different assessments and business opinion surveys carried out by independent and reputable institutions."

U.S. "INTEGRITY DEFICIT"

Nancy Boswell, president of TI in the United States, said lending practices in the subprime crisis, the disclosure of Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme and rows over political funding had all rattled public faith about prevailing ethics in America.

"We're not talking about corruption in the sense of breaking the law," she said. "We're talking about a sense that the system is corrupted by these practices. There's an integrity deficit."

Various financial scandals at state and city level had encouraged the impression that the regulatory oversight was weak and that influence could be bought, she added.

The index showed a number of countries -- including Iran -- climbing up the chart significantly from 2009, though TI said this could often be ascribed to the fact that different surveys were being used that offered no direct comparison to last year.

The fact that nearly three quarters of the countries scored 5.0 or less showed corruption was still a major global problem, said Robin Hodess, director of policy and research at TI.

However, the watchdog identified Bhutan, Chile, Ecuador, Macedonia, Gambia, Haiti, Jamaica, Kuwait, and Qatar as states where improvement had been made over the past year.

By contrast, it highlighted the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Madagascar, Niger and the United States as nations where perceptions had deteriorated.

Boris Kodjoe and Gugu Mbatha-Raw Land Lead Roles in ‘Undercovers’
by Ladybrille Magazine on January 21, 2010
Both inter-racial and of African descent, Boris Kodjoe (half-Ghanian) and Gugu-Mbatha-Raw (half South African) have landed lead roles in NBC’s upcoming television series ‘Undercovers.’ Undercovers is described as a story of a “domesticated husband (Kodjoe) and wife (Mbatha-Raw) who are re-activated as CIA agents after years of retirement.” If you have seen Mr & Mrs. Smith, then you get the idea.

Who is Gugu Mbatha-Raw?
“Mbatha-Raw, a graduate of London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, broke through during the summer when she was cast as Ophelia opposite Jude Law in the Donmar Warehouse production of “Hamlet,” which had successful runs in London’s West End and on Broadway.

The daughter of a South African doctor and an English nurse, Mbatha-Raw hasn’t appeared on American TV but has done arcs on several popular British series including “Spooks” and “Doctor Who.”

Shirley Frimpong Manso Is Out With A New Movie, A Comedy “6 Hours To Christmas”



Shirley Frimpong Manso and her Sparrow Movie Productions is out with another movie “6 Hours To Christmas”. Shirley is taking us to her amusing side by bringing us a comedy this time
She has filled the entire movie with new faces with exception of a few like Chris Attoh, her golden boy….
The quality of the trailer is over the top and the storyline seems like she will get there with this one too…
The Story: “It looks like it’s going to be a typical 24th December day for suave creative director, Reggie and perhaps a slightly more memorable one as his girlfriend promises him dinner and fireworks before the stroke of midnight.
Things however take an exciting turn for him when his office colleague and the girl he’s lusted after for a long time gives him a Christmas present he finds impossible to refuse.
As Reggie’s mind goes into overdrive, events unfold into very hilarious and yet bizarre circumstances and it seems a day that started with the promise of Christmas may just end in heartbreak and a gun to Reggie’s head.”

6hrs to Christmas

FERGIE, WE(CHELSEA) AIN' FALLING FOR UR MIND GAME

By SPORTSMAIL REPORTER
Last updated at 11:06 AM on 7th October 2010

Sir Alex Ferguson has begun the mind games with Chelsea this season by claiming that they have had such an easy start, they should have won every game.
The Blues have romped to the top of the Barclays Premier League after winning all but one match so far this term, with their only setback a defeat at Manchester City.
But Manchester United boss Ferguson, whose side slipped five points behind the champions after at the weekend following a goalless game at Sunderland, has suggested they should have a 100 per cent record.


Asked if United could not afford to drop any more points, Ferguson said: 'No, no, no.
'Every team is going to drop points - that's inevitable.
'If you look at Chelsea's start to the season, you'd have expected them to have won all those games, so the position they're in doesn't surprise me.
'Meanwhile, we've had tricky trips to Fulham and Everton then played Liverpool at home. Those are difficult matches.
'Liverpool, Arsenal and ourselves have all played top sides early on.
'Chelsea's sterner tests are still to come.'
Ferguson accused his players of not being ruthless enough this season after watching them drop points in draws at Fulham, Everton and Bolton.
Speaking to the club's official magazine, Inside United, Ferguson said: 'This present team doesn't kill off sides as well as they should.


'At Goodison, we had three or four chances at 3-1 to really put the game out of sight, but we were wasteful and ultimately paid the price.
'We threw away two goals in injury-time. That's unthinkable.
'That killer instinct just isn't there at the moment and it's something we need to develop.
'We haven't had a problem scoring goals.
'We got three against Liverpool, Everton and West Ham, two away at Fulham, three in the Community Shield; that suggests we don't have difficulty finding the net.
'What we're not doing, though, is killing teams off.
'I have no doubt the players have taken these setbacks on board. They suffer just as much - if not more - than the rest of us.

Killer instinct: The likes of Wayne Rooney must rediscover their form and win games, says Fergie
'They're the ones throwing the points away and they're the ones who know fine well that they're good enough to win this league.'
United have been criticised for some of their performances this season but Ferguson said: 'We're playing well, and perhaps those four points we have dropped away from home at Fulham and Everton have given off something of a false impression.
'Nevertheless, we didn't like letting those points slip away and it's crucial that we don't make too many more similar mistakes this season.'
