All you show in Abuja and other cities is roads - we did the same in 10,000 threads - and all you could show was street views. You know you really have nothing to show except few streets of tarmac.

Show us drone or aerial views - is having a tarmac road in Nigeria such a big deal or what?

While Ghana experienced droughts throughout its history, the 1981–1983 drought stands out for its severity. This chapter examines the origins of the drought and the resultant famine before tracing out its immediate and long-run consequences on a wide range of health outcomes.

As for drought - perenial drought -the three northern regions of Ghana - Upper East, Upper West and Northern Region - have it and WFP is busy there.

This picture undid all the Ethiopia gov denial that a famine was unfolding; the journalist who shot it; committed suicide eventually; it was horrific. Jerry Rawling in meantime with his messed up policies pulled all the stops to deny the deaths - and Ghana were forgotten as a similar famine ravaged it.

Jerry Rawling kicked out the media long before it kicked out any middle class you had; and enacted a full dictatorship; The world forgot about Ghana; Nigeria to be honest; were inhuman to kick 10 percent of Ghana out of Nigeria at worst possible moment; they got straight into the gallows of bitting hunger.

That you're sucking Nigeria arse now is beyond me. FAMINE is not a word carefully thrown.

Kenya media helped Ethiopia - coz their military commnist gov like Ghana - were hidding the deaths.

Mohamed "Mo" Amin MBE (29 August 1943 – 23 November 1996) was a Kenyan photojournalist.

Amin's filming of Michael Buerk's report of the 1984 Ethiopian famine brought international attention to the crisis and eventually helped start the charity wave that resulted in Live Aid concerts.

This is your empty two cent talk.

The reality is as the world went to Ethiopia to rescue them; Ghana was forgotten; a famine as devasting as Ethiopia was unfolding; without any media; with the military of Jerry Rawlings hiding the deaths and sufferings; the famine gutted your country so much you do not even talk about it.

Kenya has always had the most robust free media - and any suffering is highlighted - quickly for intervention. Look at Nigeria now - thousand die from terrorism - and hunger -nobody even knows

We are talking about every year famine in Kenya and how it kill thousands yearly.....

There is nothing to sweep under the rug because Ghanaians had abundant food from various silos which were redistributed by the militry in 1983...

I can't say same for the 15 million kenyans who faces yearly serious famine which takes away lives...
The only little hope they have is from WFP....

Ghana didn't need the world because Ghana had enough money to buy food for it entire population...
The world was more focus on poor kenyans where fund raising had to be held yearly of WFP to feed poor Kenyans dying left right center, from starvation...

We are talking about 1980s Ghana Famine that as part of your national coping strategy you're trying to sweep under the rug. It very sad that while world was focused on Ethiopia - Ghana got forgotten - Nigeria kicked Ghanians out at worse time.

Ethiopia famine at same time was highlighted to world by Kenya photographer - Al Amin - and foreign journalist - who was so traumatized he committed suicide.

Kenya's Mo Amin had shot the famous pictures where the eagles were waiting for dying ethiopian child - and Mohammed died abroad.

The world responded with a massive effort to stop the catastrophe that had killed a million of ethiopia from hunger - with muscian and rest rallying the world. NOBODY REMEMBERED GHANA>

It's a nightmare. It like Ethiopia talking about 1984. or Nigeria's Igbo 1970s biafra induced famine or Irish their famine or China . The most profound book I ever read is called Hunger or something - written by the Norwegian literature Nobel Laurate Knut Hamsun.

Knut Hamsun’s Hunger (1890) is arguably the most influential Norwegian novel in history – a true classic of modern literature, and a forerunner of the psychologically driven fiction of Kafka, Camus and Saramago.

Hunger is the story of a Norwegian artist who wanders the streets of Christiania (now Oslo), struggling on the brink of starvation while trying to sell his articles to the local newspaper. As hunger overtakes his body and mind, the writer slides inexorably into paranoia and despair. The descent into madness is recounted by the unnamed narrator in increasingly urgent and disjointed prose as he loses his grip on his body and on reality itself.

No one even talk about it because it wasn't a significant part of Ghana's journey

Lekki Port is West Africa's first deep water port.
It will have a thoroughput of 1.6m teu, to combine with the 1.5m teu of the Lagos ports. That will put Lagos behind Egypt, South Africa and Morocco. Probably Algeria too.

Yes, time to open up the northern corridor, but slowly, because we might end up with white elephants, like Isiolo intl airport, and even Lamu port is struggling. But looking at the impact the Isiolo-Moyale road is making - seeing the trade with Ethiopia growing - there is need to accelerate development up the north.

Definitely LAMU - LOKICHOGGIO highway -is long overdue - and will create a new corridor.

Everyday food is scarce - famine is when people start dying from hunger - like happened in kenya in 1889, Nigeria in 1960s in Biafra region, Ghana and Ethiopia in 1980s, and Somalis recently. Irish famine, China had several, amongst many other countries.

Famine is not just a joke. As we peak they are millions in Ghana now who are food insecure - but that has not to reach FAMINE. Famine is as serious as COVID or ebola epidemics.

"Famine is not a word that we use lightly," said Erminio Sacco, a food security expert with the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO).

According to the IPC scale, famine exists when at least 20 percent of the population in a specific area has extremely limited access to basic food; acute malnutrition exceeds 30 percent; and the death rate exceeds two per 10,000 people per day for the entire population.

"This scientific methodology helps to avoid famine becoming a term misused for political reasons," Sacco said.

In Africa there have been several famines in recent decades, from Biafra in Nigeria in the 1970s to the 1983-1985 Ethiopian famine, which ushered in a new form of celebrity fundraising and unprecedented media attention on the suffering.

The last famine in the world was in Somalia in 2011, which killed an estimated 260,000 people.

Kenya drought response include annual assessment of those who may need food - and they are promptly assisted. Famine is when people die in thousands or millions like happen in Biafra, Ghana and Ethiopia for lack of food.
