Everyone in the world knows some test kits are faulty. But they are being used nonetheless rather than having none. No other sane country has fired their lab head simply because the test kits are faulty. Thats foolish in the middle of a pandemic. What actually happened is that she refused to play to the tune of doctoring figures to maintain an artificial small prevalence due to her scientific ethical standards. Is she Tanzanian by birth? Her name sounds Kenyan, which could be another of the reasons behind her unceremonious dismissal. Anyway, for a doctor am shocked you could be defending such incompetence.

For a lab scientist I'm shocked that you could say such thing, the first thing a lab tech/scientist should do is always test new equipment, that's why when you by antigen reagents there will always be a positive and negative control so as to make sure that the test are working fine. For them not to check the effectiveness of there kits is plain simple negligence. Thus not only the head of the lab but all the top executives were fired for failing to make that simple follow up.

I have an identity number on my national ID, but my name is unique. My name defines who I am culture wise. In prison they take away your name and identity and give you a random number. I am not a random nika because I have a name.

over here it talks about 3% of Ghana's population of 31 million being white Europeans buh trust me,they're way more than that.I know what am talking about. There are 20 million Ghanaian citizens out of tge 31 million total population of Ghana. The rest are hardly accounted for.

TayserMahri:


Whats the plan now? Did you manufacture your own perfect kits? And why did you import herbs from Madagascar to treat people who were confirmed positive using faulty kit? As your neighbors have already shown, there is a high level of prevalence in your country. They are using the same test kits at the border as the ones more inland, but the ones at the border with Tanzania are showing that you have a high concentration of the virus in your country. You could fire 1000 lab heads and the virus would still continue to exist and spread.

That's why an investigation was launched to see the extent of the damage and to what extent the kits were faulty. And maybe our neighbors got the same kits tested them and saw being defective some not or maybe they didn't I don't know about the QA method they took. Everyone knows that the virus is in Tanzania and a lot of people have not shown symptoms thus not tested but that does not mean that we abandon the simple act of Quality Assurance just because we are in a crisis.

How is that good news for your country? You realize the Zambians are talking of Tanzanian border, not any other border.

Because that has the largest movement of goods and people along her border line that is why she had to close it first to place proper measures. The other border posts aren't that busy thus easy to monitor.

Yup, that Sweden.

[quote author=rvp2018 post=89527840]So Kalenjin are 'very' different from other Nilotes. They actually have no cousins in South Sudan like other Nilotes. There reason Kalenjin moved to Kenya a long time ago - together with Kushites. These are not present-day Kushites - but proto-eastern Kushites - long before they split.
When Kalenjin moved to Kenya - pastoralism has not started in Sudan (Egypt) - everyone lived along the river Nile - mostly farming and keeping a few domesticated animals. The proto-kushites include sirikwa who did elaborate irrigation schemes - and were noted farmers- and some remnant tribes like Iraqwis can be found in Tanzania. I am not sure about Tutsi and Himas - seem to have come later.Kalenjin found aboriginal and live together - and most aboriginal speaks Kalenjin including those in Somalia or kenya coast. Kalenjin the language itself has about 50-50 cognates with eastern cushitic languages. These Kushites would late move up north and east - split into promos and Somalia - and Somalis would later convert to Islams - from 10th century when Arabs arrived from the coast - and Somalis would start to imagine they came from Arabia or Yemeni.

The Kenya bantus - are indeed very mixed - because they are north most of Bantus around here- and intermixed with nilotes, Kushites and aboriginal.

So yes when Bantus moved here - they found Kalenjin, Kalenjin-speaking aboriginals and Kushites. The Maasai and their cousins would arrive later - and scatter everyone. The Luos arrived in Kenya in 15th century - and Maasai probably an 8-10th century.Bantus brought iron technology - and tubers crops from West Africa - like arrowroots, yams, sweet potatoes, cassavas - and adopted millet, sorghum - that were being cultivated by agropastoral Kalenjin and others. Everyone pretty much copied honey culture from Khoisan aboriginals.


you are absolutely correct. but there is a kalenjin tribe on the border between S.sudan and Sudan also kalenjin like tribes are present in Ethiopia. But it is factual that nilotes were present in Egypt before the arab expansion. Bantus had better structured societies overall better governance and farming techniques and cushites were traders, fishermen and warriors. all this groups including the khoisan like tribes were present in kenya and most people especially the people in fertile lands are what we call mongrels or mixed people.

see now why it's unfair when someone whitewashes history, first there's no such thing as kikuyu from Ethiopia or from Israel as Kikuyu puts it. this is the same as some Nigerians saying igbos are jews. whitewashing because you have been made to believe there are superior beings and you'd like to be associated with them.

it's a problem when your name carries family history and identification with you. Our family name is unique to our area and immediately I mention it people will know what area I'm from, this helps a lot especially during marriage as you can identify someone you are related to and avoid. You want to tell me a stranger can just come and name themselves our family name and it's okay?
when christianity was being introduced to Africans that's one of the methods they used to erase history changing of names and the prestige that comes with your family name. South Africa beared the heaviest brunt when it came to colonization in the African continent thus I'm not surprised by your casual approach to African names

Ghana Demographics

More than 98% of Ghanans are Black Africans, although the country is very multiethnic. The Ashanti people are the largest ethnic group in Ghana. Until the 10th century BC, most of Ghana was uninhabited by humans. By the 10th century AD, the Ashantis had established a settlement in the area and were later joined by others in the 16th century.

In that remaining 2% 700 000 area asians making European population around 100 000

I don't believe those numbers. Ghana has a lower European population compared to East Africa and Southern Africa 3% of the population would mean almost 1million white ghanaians and that is incorrect
Although I do agree with you about white people settling amongs the shores in Ghana

����� you should understand who you are dealing with. politically speaking Tanzania is kenya in the 80's
the government controls the narrative. Tanzania has been a one party state from the get go withsham elections, the narrative has always been pro government.
The tanzanians you are dealing with here I would assume are educated and they still hold a pro government view despite the whole world seeing the blunder their president made in regards to Covid 19. See in Kenya the president can come on air and apologize if he made a mistake like what he did during the beginning of the curfew announcement apologized for the police heavy handedness in Tanzania the president is a demigod and absolutely the citizens have to obey and not question their president can never and I mean never appear publicly and apologize for his governance mistake never!

makes you wonder if you are dealing with educated Tanzanians on nairaland and they are very pro government despite the misgivings what about the village Tanzanian. they don't know anything past ccm

Kevo, the nearest to Kalenjin in sudan and Ethiopia are Daasanach or Merille - who are Cushitic in language but probably nilotic. Otherwise the only Kalenjin like tribe are in Tanzania - the Datooga/.Barbabaig - they are also nearly 70% cushitic - thanks to influence of southern cushistic (Iraqwis or wamburu).

That small region of Tanzania is very good because you get small region where oromo/somali cousins, kalenjin cousin, khoisans and maasai live together.

Ashanti is not an ethnic group buh a subset tribe.Ashantis belong to the Akan ethnic group which makes up 49% of Ghanaians.In Ghana there are 20 million Ghanaian citizens out of the 30 million population. In Ghana there's nothing like citizen by birth and acquiring citizens by naturalization is very difficult. So the millions of foreigners who live in Ghana are mostly without proper documentation.

The country has account for only 20 million citizens .Example is the millions of Nigerians currently in Ghana who had been in the country since 19th centuries buh were still not legally Ghanaians thus Ghana deporting over 200 thousand Nigerians in 1969 although they knew no family back in nigeria and lived all their lives as Ghanaians.

Europeans,Lebanese, Koreans,Chinese, Japanese, Americans are in their millions in Ghana with many of them knowing no other country aside Ghana buh the constitution still refer to them as aliens. Take this Korean for example, she's lived all her life in Ghana and same for her mother and grandparents that she sees Ghana as home buh Ghana still see her as a foreigner. The last time Ghana had a population census was in 2010 and Ghana recorded 26 million population buh just 20 million of them hold citizenship as at now that our population is estimated to be 30 million. So over 10 million people in Ghana are not Ghanaians by law.Over 3% of them are mainly white British Europeans.Nigerians make up over 5 million, the rest are Americans, and Asians. 600,000 foreigners registered for permanent residency permits.

simple then, they are not white ghanaians. it's like saying every European who is in kenya can claim to be Kenyan. No. but there are some Europeans who can claim to be Kenyan and there number doesn't exceed 200,000 people. But if you claim anyone in kenya of European ancestry you will find over a million people then.

All the times I've been to Ghana I've never seen a significant number of Europeans compared to where I'm from (kenya) so I was really surprised when you said 3% of the population, what I did in fact see is a high number of Lebanese and Chinese.
