IMF Growth Projection for 2023

Nigeria

What is really happening to SA

vankelvin:
I got confused bruh! 😂🤣

I never knew Tea was an artifial resource 😂🤣

Don't get confused.

Tea is farm product, man made( yes, it requires natural resources to grow - land, water, sunshine, and whatnot.)

80% artificially planted, and harvested artificially by a man.

Tea will not magically appear from a vacuum. Yes, farming is an act of reorganizing plants and animals (natural products) to suit our liking - Might include genetic modification. They can't grow naturally - without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, GMOs, and other chemicals// ARTIFICIAL. GROWTH

Don't be deprived of Common knowledge. Learn to think on your own and stop driving yourself to a space of reproach.

Yes, I know natural ecosystem has a diverse amount of species and plants. Don't come with a shallow point of view from your dictionary def of Artificial and natural.

Fool am giving u facts on the ground and u acting like the typical Nigerian u are been ingnorant and dumb

..i checked it...Countries like mauritus and rwanda were even more influencial than ghana... ...and basically those countries have no power or influence really in africa or the world...ghana was like no 9 in africa 86 in the world....meaning no influence at all ...kenya not in the conversation...meaning kenya and influence shouldnt be in the same conversation

Appisko:
What is really happening to SA

Its regressing...8 hours electricity...crime rate doubled...killing normal...its becoming wild

So it's our fault that your country have little or less natural resources?
All this you are typing doesn't make sense.
There are many other countries that have no resources, no agricultural lands yet are developed.

It's not your fault, and no one is complaining.
The point is addressing a specific chest beating baseless claim from your fellow.
Kenya is in a good trajectory without all those: agricultural land and minerals(Dont get me wrong. when I say we don't have, I mean we have but a paltry size of arable land and mineral resource. )

if u check the points Ghana Nigeria id almost at par we all fall under the 30/100 column

Subsaharan:
Lmao, Nigeria used the SDR option, because is was a low hanging fruit. There was just $3.35bn sitting in the IMF ready to go anytime we wanted it.

https://www.blueprint.ng/imf-allocates-3-35bn-to-nigeria-from-special-drawing-rights/

Everyone is allocated money from the SDR ... Nigeria used the RFI option because it was an urgent BOP issue

Nope.
The Special Drawing Right (SDR) allocation is not a loan from the IMF. It has no conditionalities.
What Ghana is seeking is IMF bail out loan..way above the SDR.
Nigeria and South Africa took their money.
Kenya has loan with IMF now.

Shma2023:
Stop bickering.

There is invention, innovation, productivity, and sustainability in agriculture. Mining has only invention and pretty much sustainability.
I didn't say that to imply we invented tea.

Again, there is human/man made forest & natural forest, Same goes to lakes. It doesn't dispute the fact that all the forests and lakes are by nature natural. Don't be a dunce.

Now, the bolded is where you lost it:
You obtained a free Multi trillion valuable product with a paltry millions in production cost and a token of slave trade. That means if Ghana was mineral devoid like Kenya, it would be more or less like Niger or Togo, now you're slightly above them because brits &Chinese are helping you knowing very well you have what they don't - FREE GIFT!

You don't know something, you're being educated too, you are still making noise.
Mining has both productivity, innovation in machinery and mechanism, invention of new machinery to solve new challenges, community sustainability models to ensure economic survivability.

Both minerals and tea are natural to the environment.

Are the trees also man made? Wan*ker

The cost of producting an ounce of gold is 2/3rd the price of an ounce of gold.... Add taxes and labour and producers are left with a few tens of million in profit.
This is why most environmentalist call for a suspension in gold and other metals mining because the cost outweighs the benefits.

There's nothing like Brits and Chinese in mineral exploitation in Ghana.... There's Ghanaians and theres Australian, South African and Canadian.

gallivant:
In that case, what are you doing in a Kenya Nigeria thread?

Kenyans and Nigerians can't seem to stop mentioning Ghana in their argument

popizaino:
Omo you really got a tough skin....How will you continue conversation with someone who just labelled tea to be a natural resources just to save face? You are better off trolling that idiot that trying to have a sensible adult conversation with him 😂😂. We waiting for him to tell us Cocoa,oil palm,avocado are also be natural resources. We learn every day.

Lete educate you small because you don't know

Every farmed product is a natural resource... If you don't know, just consult google

gallivant:
Ghana has zero influence in this world. Maybe a poster child for fiscal incompetence...

Tell that to your finance ministry and your members of parliament on finance committee who had to come to Ghana to seek assistance from us for your debt freeze negotiation

Appisko:
2022africa soft rankings
according to countries on this thread

1south Africa
2 Nigeria
3 Ghana

Useless kenya is not even in top 15 in Africa

🤣😂

vankelvin:
But how did glo die in Ghana like that?
It's like the network just died the same year they started operation

Thus market is highly competitive and has very little margin with too many operators in the industry

Only stupid Kenyans and that dumb Nigerian ( popizaino) think it is artificial resource 😂🤣😂

Luzebox:
What?...we are not at the point where..if we dont take it we are doom....ghana is?...and u have ran to IMF 17 times for bailout...that is crazy....dont bundle us together...

you're worse off because 94% of your revenue is being spent on servicing debt

stop humiliating yourself... Tea, coffee, cocoa, rice, wheat, soya beans are all natural resource that the earth provides

I've never had a dumb conversation like this before 🤣😂

Nigeria Influence doesnt move out of africa....most african countries dont...i am mainly talking about africa...both countries are good at different thing...when it comes to africa influence i would say ghana isnt dat influencial...peace and stability...ghana for sure...what makes country influential usually is..its economy and millitary strength...for soft power..it is usually its wealth ...foreign countries see something they need from your country ...so you kinda have a form of influence on them

Just30:

You dont even have money to service your debt....lolz ...you have paused paying debt for now..

RFI is a loan and it comes with conditions

Mumu soft power is not about wealth
In politics (and particularly in international politics), soft power is the ability to co-opt rather than coerce (contrast hard power). In other words, soft power involves shaping the preferences of others through appeal and attraction. A defining feature of soft power is that it is non-coercive; the currency of soft power includes culture, political values, and foreign policies.

U wondering why a country like rawanda is up there in the soft power ranking , pual kagami was recently the AU chairperson her
He even chaired the east African community from 2018-2021

😂🤣😂

We are only spending 35% to 40% of revenue on debt servicing

I have no idea because I've not had an interest on it

soft power is any influence dat doesn't come from force...mumu... including wealth(money, resources etc)...that is why Qatar has it..Saudi Arabia cos it's the Muslim home..etc.....once you have something other find valuable and need ...you automatically have soft power
