I think both infrastructure and social investment has to go hand in hand. Ghana definitely is one of most progressive sub-saharan country - and will achieve middle-class faster than many countries.

How do you finance the national health scheme? How do make sure the poor can afford coverage - assuming it's insurance?

Through taxes.That's why imported items and manufactured items gets expensive including petrol products.They are all taxed to support all the huge social programs.From free compulsory education from basic to secondary schools nationwide and highly subsidized and cheap tertiary education to national health insurance scheme which is automatic also for people above 60 years and over 50 % national subscribers enjoying free health to highly subsidized farming which makes farming very attractive and lucrative to National Youth Employment Programs with millions of youth being employed and trained by the government to SADA which is Savannah Accelerated Development Program developing all the Northern poor regions to LEAP program which gives stipulated 150. cedis or so monthly to the very poor aged to National School feeding Program which feeds all public school students daily nutritious balanced meal from basic to secondary schools.There are over 50 other national social programs making Ghana the first sub Sahara Country to reduce poverty drastically and on course to eliminate poverty by 2025 according to the UN.

Jokes happen all the time. The reason why you are asking all this is because you think it drive us crazy.

For me, I am not feeling anything. Many jokes are made on us. The world has made us inferior by the famine thing. Even Oxford dictionary/ one of the American dictionaries wrote Ethiopia as an example in the word 'famine'.

Chinesse did this, Nigerian did that, none of it matters to me. There will be Ethiopians who attack Nigerians and Chinesse on social media and so on. This happens all the time

No. i asked you because, you seems to focus more on Nigeria business than Ethiopia

Well it's all good.

Indeed! We don't focus on only one place, we focus on all the 36 states

infrastructure spending can be wasteful, potentially leading to a white elephant that must be maintain at a higher cost. social investment is far more important for a country than infrastructure development especially for a country with weak economic performances like africa

for example an investment in Education will molds the mind of the populace and makes them vibrant and productive. just like Germany ( very few skyscraper are in the country) but very advance nation

for example, if you check out global index of countries who attained development, it is always those countries who significantly improved their educational systems and made it very attractive and realistic. Education molds the minds of the people, it creates kings and queens, it makes the difference in the life of every individual. It paves for constructive and quantitative analysis and thinking.

Currently goverment play a larger role, though some alternative are been developed. goverment tap into Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), among other sources, to be able to execute the scheme mandate.

A dam will cost 3b. Where are you getting 9b from?
FYI, we had 40 companies who were bidding for the project! None of them asked for 9 billions. All of them were in 3 billion range.So how will the 6b get into equation? Remember, this is engineering feat,its mathematical.

The extra 2000 of MW will go into manufacturing, mining especially a gold smelter and steel smelters which are in the pipeline. We couldn't do all those mega projects for lacking power.Our power demand per annum grows by 10 to 15%. More than 90% of Tanzania's minerals are still lying underground. We extracted less than 10% of our mineral reserves. So we need power more than kenya.

In case we gets more power we will export to anyone

Here we talk about things that are already happening.

rvp2018:
We have had 3 national elections since the 2007 pogrom - if you include repeat election - and there was no ethnic violence. There were the usual police & protestors clashing. Dealing with hate speech means drawing the line btw is acceptable and what isn't - and people taking responsibility.

Anyway talking to Nigerian on anything progressive like that is like talking to a stone. You live in a zoo - where anything goes.

You talk too much about Nigeria, why don't you go focus on your country matters? Your obsessions about Nigeria is really unhealthy

rvp2018:
Kenya is racing to dualize most of it's major highways despite not having earned more than 1 trillion dollars from Oil in the last 20yrs.

I use to think Nigeria had earned 600B dollars - but it appears Jonathan regime alone had like 400B dollars from Oil - Olesegun 400B from Oil - and Buhari 100B dollars from Oil

And yet you have NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT.

Clearly you're a slowpoke to think you cannot hold a candle against kenya. Just tell us where nearly 1 trillion dollars of oil from 1999-2019 has GONE INTO.

This questions has been asked since the first pages:someone pls tell us! Even if you can only account for half of these hundreds of billions,we need to know.

Woah. That is pretty impressive. Kenya is trying to do probably most of that - but your scale is simply breathtaking. For instance National Feeding Program for all public schools in primary to secondary.This really should be the template for many countries. I know WB/IMF will berate countries for investing on social programs - but this is what is exactly needed - human development investment.

I also know politicians used to mega corruption like Nigerian (and partly Kenyan) don't want such social program because it's very hard to steal money meant for social programs that have to be distributed - to every nook & cranky - and it easy to steal infrastructure funds - by demanding 10% from every contractor.

yea so true, but those from the other side of Africa won't understand! 1 3rd of their landmass isn't developed! they should stop measuring dick with Nigeria. we r not mate

XhosaNostra:


He's a hypocrite of note obviously. His party is even using Fifi Cooper & Ringo. Ringo is a confirmed EFF member though. I started disliking him (Ringo) when I found out. Simphiwe Dana is another one. So far it's only been hasbeens & 2nd grade singers, whom I think are trying to use their political affiliations to further/revive their careers.

I can understand with Fifi Cooper,remember,they rescued her from some record deal scandal.She was on the brink of being sabotaged so I guess she thought the best way to show appreciation was to pledge membership,but what do the likes of Ringo and Simphiwe gain from it? it's a shame that a legend like Ringo would downgrade himself like that,maybe we need a #MuteRingo lol.I wonder why it's always hasbeens cos even the ANC uses fossils like Zola 7 and Arthur Mafokate.

Just imagine 1B dollars in 20yrs! all of it somehow disappeared.

Nigeria goverment has also roll it up but the systems seems to be very poor.


one thing about Nigeria is some state do perform better than some instead of equal development. it seems only osun state is successful in the exercise.

Unhealthy maybe for you? Because the truth is searing your heart. Maybe if you admitted that Nigeria was a self-evident Zoo - we would stop talking about it. It's our civic human duty to keep drumming that until you stop arguing and start fixing Nigeria. Otherwise like South Africans have found out - Nigerian problems are now their problems - so are Somalis.

Ghanians are struggling to deal with Nigerians. I was shocked in August last year when I met so many Nigerians in Nairobi & Mombasa - I bet exporting their criminality to kenya too.

obaaderemi:
Because it didn't happen, you idiot. Nigeria has serious problem with ethnic violence but don't believe everything you read on nairaland,especially when it's coming from terrorists like el rufai,the Kaduna governor. But then, We still remember how thousands died during Kenya's election, including babies and how your president was bundled to international court of justice. You always look for an excuse to be bashed. The Ethiopian girl knows what she is talking about.

About that...
i didnt want to list the count ..

tylann:

If you fell when climbing a church mountain
It is because you were tired or you tripped or an accident
Not because you lack faith
I don't know why people like complicating things
But i will never get naked in front of a priest
That is a cult

I know the real reservations many,even on this thread have with religion and this isn't a silly question but I wonder how many of those Habesha hotties return pregnant after 'special anointing,' from the priest!
But wait;maybe its truly a miracle!

3,000 Nigerians living in Ghana, 2,5000 Ghanaians living in Nigeria. You are not from Ghana so shut your stupid mouth.

Now why are you Obsessed about Nigeria

rvp2018:
Nigeria is uniformly undeveloped.

But still developed than Kenya. You guys only focus on only Nairobi. Is Nairobi the only city in Kenya. And still yet, Nairobi is full of slums. Only 10% of Nairobi is developed? The rest is full of slums.

Doesn't this send shivers down your spine? It's almost like looking through a crystal ball to the future.

social investment programs are done by states in nigeria, d fed govt does little. Even d school feeding programme done by fed govt is criticized that it's supposed to be a state duty.

Health scheme, education, water supply, and almost everything that has to do with basic amenities are done by states with little addition from d fed govt.

Though, all states are not performing equally when it comes to dispensation of their duties, it solely depends on d economic status of each states.

I've been reading lots of articles written by Bitange Ndemo and the man calls us to embrace this new changes.AI is the future and he says Africa isn't immune to tech disruptions!

We need Konza more than ever,I'm glad that the Korean Institute of Science and Technology will set up a campus there!

Konza is a gamechanger,like Tatu City,SGR and others. It will open up new technologies and income streams.

A new institute expected to transform Kenya’s economy through science, technology and innovation is to be built at Konza Technopolis.

The Kenya Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (Kenya-KAIST) is modelled on the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (Korea-KAIST).

KAIST is expected to be completed by 2021, with the first batch of 200 of 600 graduate students starting classes in 2022.

The national government has partnered with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Samoo Architects and Engineering Company Limited and Sunjin Engineering and Architecture Company Limited to undertake the architectural and curriculum design for the university.

Vision,planning and implementation-a process still mysterious to Naijjans.
