FunkyMetahuman:
we are all learning too. Nobody knows it all.


Anyway, it's like this,

Before, Ghana's currency is like 10000 cedis to a naira, which is what their economy actually reflects.
So Ghanaian government redonminate the currency, (redonmination simply means they removed certain amount of zeros from their currency to have less zeros.. Like 10000 cedis will be equivalent to 1cedi.)

E.g
If a bread used to cost 10000 cedis, after redonmination, the bread will cos 1 cedis. But in actual economic reality, the bread is still 10000cedis.
Redonmination is usually done to checkmate inflation at a certain period and it has its own perks too.

E.g like someone said, you cant survive on 50k in Ghana for like a month, question is, how easy is it to make 50k in Ghana compared to Nigeria? That's where the economy reality sets in.


Get it now?
A splendid reply.Right until the early 2000, the Ghanaian cedi was exchanging at a rate of about 2500/3000 to the US dollar. During this same period, the naira was being exchanged at a rate of 120 to the US dollar. The Ghanaian government then decided to redominate the cedi(knocking off some zeros) 2 to ease business transactions and to also curb inflation.

The truth is recession can happen to anyone and we have seen better economies go down too, Greek economy with all their inventions, the Spanish and even portugal to name a few. Do you know how many countries Nigeria h bailed out financially in our history?

Despite all the loots from past governments in billions of dollars (which is a shame), if such happen to Ghana I bet u country will close shop by now. Do u know how many years of misappropriation of fund before this great country could recess.

...........
A Nigerian student has broken a 30-year-old maths equation and achieved the highest grades at a university in Japan for 50 years.

9. Duro Olowu: US First lady Michelle Obama has this talented Nigerian-born designer to thank for her signature flowery prints.

He spent the first 22 years of his life in Kaduna, Lagos and Ile-Ife before heading to the UK to kickstart his career.



13. Dr. Bernet Omalu: When Hollywood decides to film a movie based on your life, then you know you’ve hit it big. The Nigerian-American physician, forensic pathologist and neuropathologist has gone down in history as the first to publish findings on chronic tramautic encephalopathy, changing the face of sports medicine as we know it. His theory highlighted concussions during gametime as the cause of dementia found in some National Football League players; a theory which faced major uproar from the community. After learning of his story, Will Smith portrayed him in the 2015 bipoic, Concussion.


NOTE

Apart Kofi Anan, when I think of Ghana, the only thing I see are shoe makers, tailors and dokunu sellers and did u say nigerians are into prostitution? Then u are not a ghanian if you don't know what your ladies do.

U said I shouldn't start what I can't finish, we'll u don't know me. I will floor you! Let's see!! If I take you into academics, u will see that nigerians are the smartest blacks in this world. Fact!!! We are breaking bounds, creating records.
