300 sites times 300k usd is just 90M. That is spare change for Telcom company. They can be able to re-sell internet cheaply for say 30usd per month for just a million subscribers - that is 30M dollars. They will recoup their investment in 3 months.

600USD for Starlink will never scale. Unless crafty Nigerians buy repeaters and re-sell their bandwidth...but 60-100MB speed will degrade quickly.

So Starlink like other satellite before remain only practical in remote rural areas.

Countries must continue to invest in fiber. Kenya unlike west african zoo already has a million household/homes connected to fiber....and now we are putting 100,00kms of fiber. Telcom companies like Glo should invest in fiber...

Poor Ghana has 50,000 fiber connection/fixed broadband.

Just30:
You just bugged in to type nonsense.... Do you even know the conversation we are having ?

Take your time to read to understand.

If glo had the money to provide the needed cell sites and other ground infrastructure to have quality internet service provision, they would have done it already but they don't because cell sites are very expensive to build. And this hasn't taken into consideration the fibre cuts experienced on the daily basis due to road construction and stuff.

Then we come to Starlink, the cost of owning a receiver is very high plus the monthly charges will be far above what Nigerians are used to.
This is the discussion we are having .... Seek understanding before posting nonsense

That is nothing compared to -> Nigerians will pay $600 to acquire the setup hardware and a monthly subscription of $43 which didn't sit well in the sight of many.

Glo can invest 300 * 400K to cover 20 million Nigeria.

If each one got Starlink - it would be billion of dollars

Just30:
It would not necessarily make other service providers better...
Starlink just need to put a few satellites in orbit to be able to cover all of Nigeria meanwhile service providers like glo needs to put in close to 300 cell sites to be able to cover only Lagos and each cell site cost 300,000 to 400,000 dollars ( the cost of a cell site in Ghana)

Thanks for sharing. South Africa going down. Kenya is coming up

The competition is real among states in Nigeria
President Buhari Yesterday commissioned the largest Rice Mill in the whole Africa , Now, Mangal Rice Mill( Second Largest rice mill In Africa) , Kofar Kaura-Kano Road Underpass , renovated General Hospital , are among the projects to be commissioned tomorrow and next in Katsina State (Northern Nigeria)
Buhari is undoubtedly the best thing that has ever occurred to Nigeria in terms of infrastructure. Buhari will inaugurate world's biggest single-train refinery ( Dangote). Before he leaves office, He will commission a number of gigantic projects, including the second Niger bride and the Loko projects, next month.
I swear to God, More projects have been built and launched under Buhari than under the whole Kenyan government combined.

I guess mostly weekday; weekend; nobody want to pay as time is not a premium.

in any case their break-even was 30K vehicles per day

AfriqueDuZuid:
7 600 000 ÷ 6 months(182.5days)

= 41 758 vehicles daily


So it may have made 60 000 in first few months, but it 41 758 daily average

Yet your own president held Nairobi of 1980s as Ghana Beyond AId North Start=; sadly you're now bankrupt.

Dont try to match big countries; try Togo; Benin; Ivory coast.

South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya are big boys in SSA - those are top 3 economies now.

Ghana you're just here for the pain.

Appisko:
Ghana cover was blown like how?
Cus accra dont have skyscraper's so its not developed jesus christ
African mentality is really bleeped up

I am very nice because half of what folks write here insult normal person intelligence.
Ghana cover was long blown.
Naked eye test.

Obaaderemi2:
You are too old to do dissing and insults yet do it all the time, including insulting other Kenyans who disagree with you. You are always the first here to resort to insults and name-calling when losing an argument. So what are you saying?
Never knew you were an addict of igbo movies too like your Kenyan so-called housemaids. How you must hate those movies now. Don't twist out of this- you openly agreed Ghana was above Kenya. That's that. Talk something else.

Only an madman would compare West Africa cities with Nairobi

You start telling the truth like I have always. done.
Angola recovered from long 20yr old civil war and has done a fairly good job rebuilding the country.
https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/handle/10986/33804/Angola-Road-Sector-Public-Expenditure-Review.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y

Angola has spent a total of around US$US45 billion on its infrastructure over the last decade (2008-
2018), or around US$4.5 billion/year. By the end of the civil war in 2002, the Government of Angola has
launched a large infrastructure reconstruction program spending on average US$4.4 billion per year on
infrastructure between 2002-2009. This effort was sustained over the last decade (2008 -2018) and
Angola spent on average 4.1% of its GDP per year on its infrastructure sector (Figure 6). Angola’s
infrastructure public expenditure is on a par with the average expenditure of Lower and Medium
Income Countries (4% of GDP for 2011) and is nearly twice more than Sub-Saharan African countries
(2.54% of GDP)3,

AfriqueDuZuid:
Nah not at all, i think this group needs to start telling the truth.

Trolling, inflated egos needs to stop.

Angola -> 26B dollars this year. It mostly oil revenues.
I think they do better job building roads,dams, etc than Nigeria.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Angola?

What does Angola spend their revenue on?

Morroco Algeria Egypt i can see progress, projects and developments

Yes Morroco and sometimes Angola beat kenya

AfriqueDuZuid:
How much does Morocco collects?

These Ghanians are something

Shaytun:
But OECD is saying your total revenue is 10 billion dollars.

The source you posted is contradicting your claim, do you lack comprehension?

If we didnt have a marauding madman here who doesnt respect even facts; we wont have to.

South Africa, Algeria, Egypt - they do more than Nigeria and Kenya.

GeneralDae:
There is no need arguing this. I saw a chart of total revenues ranking in Africa and I think Nigeria was 3rd there and Kenya a close 4th. Only South Africa and probably Algeria (if I'm not mistaken) collected more revenues than both countries in that list for 2021. I'll see if I can get it again.

Total revenues included everything.
Last year - 2022 - you had 100.5B target - revised down to 78B in suplementary
This year - 140B cedis target.

Incorrigible fool

Just30:
As usual.. you just bundle data that you lack an understanding off together...
There is total tax revenue and total Domestic revenue and total revenue.
Total tax revenue are VATs, income taxes and co.
Total domestic revenue include customs , rent and all other sources of domestic revenue.

Total revenue includes revenue from government financial transactions from offshore which are mostly interest... This is placed at 16% by the OECD. So you're looking at 21 billion dollars.
Kenya could only do 17 billion dollars in total revenue 😂🤣
I see why you're weeping all over

Your dumb politicians have driven your economy into oblivion were just debt payment and wages takes 140% of your revenue.
Where are you guys going to get money from for CAPEX and etc.

Go try this lunacy with your fellow dumb Kenyans

Usual obstuficaton from resident mad man

Total ordinary revenues for 2022 - 75B Cedis - 5.8B dollars. Very embarrassing. Initial target was 100B - revised down to 75B.

Non ordinary revenees for 2022 - included

Nana with his village mate has driven little Zoo into the cliff.

Try your madness on fellow Ghanians.

Just30:
that is just 3 quarters tax revenue which does not include rent, mineral income and the rest. Total Domestic revenue crossed 120 billion Cedis... You can go and argue with the OECD.

You're making all this noise because Ghana beat your useless country in revenue collection.

The OECD put Ghana half year revenue collection at 14% of GDP

https://thebftonline.com/2023/01/17/gra-upbeat-about-2023-performance-as-it-beats-2022-target-by-gh%C2%A23-6bn/


The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) is poised for increased success this year, after beating its revenue target for 2022. The authority collected GH¢3.6billion more in revenue for 2022 than it was tasked to collect, making it the second year in a row that the tax collection and administration body has exceeded its target.

Data from GRA show that although the authority was tasked to collect GH¢71.94billion last year, it mobilised GH¢75.54billion at end of the year, indicating a surplus of about five percent. The 2022 collection also showed that the authority grew revenues by 31.5 percent in 2022 – the highest in recent years.

The Commissioner-General of GRA, Dr. Amissadai Owusu-Amoah, said in an interview that the results showed efforts by the authority to increase revenue mobilisation are yielding the desired fruit. He explained that the higher than targetted collections for 2022 were driven by increased collections from domestic revenue and Customs.

Dr. Owusu-Amoah attributed the success to commitment of staff and cooperation from taxpayers. He said although the 2023 target is yet to be set, the authority is now poised to double its effort this year. In 2022, GRA was tasked to collect a total tax revenue of GH¢80.30billion.

However, in the 2022 Mid-Year Budget and Economic Policy Statement the target was revised to GH¢71.94billion – a reduction of GH¢8.36billion representing 10.4 percent. “I am happy to announce that by close of the 2022 fiscal year the authority had collected a total tax revenue of GH¢75.54billion against a revised target of GH¢71.94billion, exceeding the target by GH¢3.60billion. This performance represents a nominal growth of 31.5 percent over the tax revenue collected in the 2021 fiscal year,” he sa

useless country - more like Rwanda


Efforts by the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) to increase revenue mobilisation are yielding the desire results, as data from the authority show that it collected more revenue in 2022 than it was tasked to do.

The data showed that GRA beat its target for last year by GH¢3.6 billion, the highest in recent times.

The authority was tasked to collect GH¢71.94 billion last year but its data indicated that revenue collections ended 2022 at GH¢75.54 billion.

It also showed that the authority grew revenues by 31.5 per cent in 2022.

According to the data, the higher targeted collections were driven by increased collections from domestic revenue and customs.

You're just mad ... Ghana collected 20 billion last year and has budgeted to collect 24 billion dollars this year... Sit there and keep screaming.

16% of it 800 billion Cedis GDP and will be doing 20% of GDP this year

Ghana collect 7B or less. Stop the madness.

Yes ...Ghana collected 20 billion last year and will be doing 24 billion this year

Dont insult our intelligence.

The slowpoke refuses to acknowledge the truth that Kano has infrastructure that is significantly superior to that of all of Kenya.

Are we talking about this KANO or you have another one.
Ghana look like Western Europe - get off weed - it's not good for your mental health

vaxx:
the cultural heritage of kano and her dynasty alone is way bigger than anything Nairobi.

And once you include west Africa , you will be getting stupid. .... If Ghana look like western europe comparing it with kenya , then how will cape verde look like ? Much more like paradise.

Pray what social infrastructure does west africa zoos have that beat ?
Musics and films

vaxx:
I disagree with you.northern Nigeria is better than anything kenya . Nairobi can't compare itself with Kano ( northern Nigeria) it is not about high rise building . It is about social Infrastructure.

Bankrupt power companies create a systemic risk on the entire economy
See Ghana in 2005, 2015 and now.
See South Africa since 2008.

You cannot saddle already bankrupt power companies with more expenses - by requiring them to compensate for financial loss.
When they are not ready. Ghana ones cannot even pay Nigeria for gas. They cannot even pay IPPS. They are making 1 billion dollar in losses sending economy to ICU every few years.

Kenya is going to move there soon - financial loss compensation - because our power is very reliable.

In a month - average interruption is just 4hours - 1 hour a week - and this is strictly due to maintenance

"Official data from Kenya Power shows the Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI) – that is the average duration each customer was off the power supply in a month – stands at 4.03 hours. "

https://nation.africa/kenya/business/kenya-power-faces-fines-for-unreliable-electricity--3941918

Now regulator is about to allow for financial loss compensation...but we have to run the maths welll...otherwise bankrupt utilities can create a huge mess and turn kenya into a Nigerian zoo.

Just30:
At least make Kenya a little saner a place .....
Your utility companies need to be sued constantly so they can think properly before acting . Kenyans deserve better than bankruptcy.

Kenya is just another Nigeria with a twist of South Sudan

We had a narrow escape.
Otherwise, we were similarly staring at debt crisis - which is reflected by the sovereign credit rating cuts.

We first declined to issue eurobonds in 2021 and started cutting back.

Uhuru the drunkard though recklessly spend money to woo voters to back Ruto rival in 2022.

Ruto won and the big mend started.

Ruto took immediate action - cut subsidies (1 billion dollars), cut 3billion dollars in budget, restored investor/creditor confidence.
We have also borrowed less - by rejecting expensive credit.


Now everything starting to look good.
GDP will expand 6.2 percent up from 5.8% this year.
Ruto has cut the next budget - borrowing/expenditure.
And we are increasing revenue collection from 20B to almost 30B dollars.

Debt to GDP down to 62% from 68%; This year we take it below 60%; And by 2025; we will be at 55%;

Our only major problem is in 2024 - when we have to repay 2b dollars eurobond principal - but our revenues are growing.

We took action - Ghana did not.

Ghana was bankrupted by Nana.

vaxx:
Your vice president said she actually inherited a broke Govt,where everything is empty in the cover . You are so broke. Your treasure is empty.

Let Ghana and Eskom repay debt first.
Before you saddle yourselves with legal fees pursuing a bankrupt company.
Which might not survive...rendering any such claim a nugatory.
Use the legal fees to buy a generator


Eskom, which regularly implements electricity outages that choke economic growth, is saddled with around 400 billion rand ($24.32 billion)

Just30:
You're just not smart ... People pay bills daily
So there's enough money for them to pay damages

In Ghana people sue them all the time and the entire nation has been compensated several times


Kenya is broke, Bankrupt and insolvent hence the idea is alien to you guys

Childish.
Ghana is broke/bankrupt/insolvent - joining Zambia, Chad and Ethiopia in that club.
Also add Mali.

"Ghana last week requested a restructuring of debt it owes to other governments, becoming the fourth country after Chad, Ethiopia and Zambia to do so under a G20 Common Framework "

vaxx:
the visible shortage of hard currency in your country is a testament. You are broke and empty. Hence the reason your power authority is seeking to charge some category of customers in dollars . That is a testament. You are the stupid one here .

It stupid to lie that kenya is bankrupt.

Ghana is officially bankrupt, its former leader and opposition flagbearer John Mahama declared on Monday describing the situation as “tragic”. The government announced that certain external debts cannot be honoured per agreed terms.20 Dec 2022

vaxx:
Kenya is also broke and so ? You will not stop being stupid in 2023

Eskom is broke. Insolvent. Negative cashflow.
Ghana is broke. Insolvent. Negative cashflow.
You can't sue either.
They cant and wont pay.

Just30:
No wonder power companies are abusing Kenyans in that broke country Kenya..

You can always sue your utility company and they will pay from their cash flow .... I know this seem alien in Kenya

How will bankrupt Eskom pay for damages.

Lesson No 1: Dont sue a mad person like Just30 or broke one like Ghana or Eskom.

Just cut the losses and buy a standby generator

Just30:
It should be easier for him to sue for damages in the cause where the power cut wasn't scheduled

Look like you stopped building them long time ago. How did Nana bankrupt Ghana without at least one gradiose stadium. In meantime kenya is building several at the same time.

No lie. Ghana has better sporting facilities than Kenya. That's a given.

Last year also Kenya army built a 7,500 stadium for their Ulinzi football club - one kenya finest football team.

They can comfortably put seats as no hooligan can cause chaos in army compound.

In less than 5yrs - kenya will have more than 50 stadiums - as every county gov is building one
