The 'giants' without a voice. At least now we know how Ghanains have managed to sit on your heads without much effort.

Shuuuuushhh!!! Lower your voice we are not your problem now (atleast not for now) are we......Take your voice and go face your oppressors, or should I say tormentors, sorry it's definitely attackers

edon21:
now u see what we Nigerians have been teaching

Rvp.is stubborn..he doesn't care about whatever reputable links you throw at him...his useless opinion is final only to him

Problemkid1:
Bro see lemme tell you something. Abuja is fvcking developed. Even the kenyans knows that. Let's just keep sentiment aside? No city in West Africa can come close to Abuja in development, not even Lagos! You can ask the Kenyans or Tanzanians they're your friends

Man leave just30 with his opinion...I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion...


Meanwhile this discussion has been an eye opener and really educative...I don't want you troubling just30 he needs all his focus and attention for this crucial debate..

vaxx2:
I actually bully idiot ( I mean those who don't use their personal brain but follow mantra like a deluded he goat ....


1 The two factual information I have given to you are objectively verified and you keep on rejecting because dangote assumption says otherwise? even with dangote fact at 6 million consumption rate, the fact keeps telling you on you your face that Ghana isn't kenya mate. the per head diffrence is just too huge , you may need to gulping at 13 million consumption rate before you can meet that .


2... I actually know kenya economy model now and i can give you an informed judgement which we be better credible than you idiot . As an informed mind myself , I only need just a handful of some literature about you economy model. and that will be enough to give me valid judgement .


3. You stupidly don't know one quater of a financial year is enough to turm around economy ? yoir present worrisome economy was what Ghana was facing in early 2000. borrowing to pay debt instead of following a payment plan from the revenue of a nation or on bilateral trade which sound more prudent and better less risky.... Ghana current monitary policy remain at 16 percent and lending rate at 24 percent while yours even at capped was 18. An easy thing for goverment to-do In Ghana but not prudent because of the flaws effect it will have on microeconomics . Kenya case is a typical example .


4. ..Your kenya history of bad economy management is still not diffrence from now, your economy hardly grow above 4 percent which is the same everywhere except for Nigeria, Angola and south Africa . egen at that , your 4 percent growth is not translating into the living standard of kenya . you have barely manage poverty and hunger. You are still a high net importer of food amd at a very high riak of food shortage . you have been identify as emergency nation unlike Ghana, cote devoire, Ethiopia and ruwanda who still maintain 7 percent growth. and directly keep improving the standard living of their people . very soon ruwanda will overtake your position, their HDI is improving sonfast and better than country in east Africa.

5 comparing your massage economy to that of Ghana is laughable..comparing that has its inflation rate fallen from 15.4 percent in December 2016 to 7.6 percent in September 2019, Even the 91-day treasury bill as fallen from 17 percent to 14.7 percent.

On the external front, the trade deficit has improved 1.8 billion in 2016 to a surplus of US$2.6 billion...

About 1.2 million students have been enrolled in SHS because of the free SHS programme and their parents relieved of the burden of fee.

place about 1 hunderd thousand gaduates on temporary opportunities in a work environment and securing about 10, 000 permanent jobs for them .... employing about 55 thousand nurses on permanent job and additional 48 thousand permanent job for the teachers for just 2019 ...bringing unemwployement down to 2 percent. is that what you want to compare with kenya ....


There is reason IMF refused to continue the credit fercility with you? go and learn and you goverment are also on the move to meet them again...hope youbare aware

But enjoy this.......



Ghana achievement on agriculture for the year 2018...


“A total production of 1,505,850mt of cereals and legumes and 405,630mt of vegetables with a total value of GH¢1.55 billion and GH¢3.43 billion respectively was achieved between 2017 and 2018 alone. Yields of targeted crops recorded significant improvements over 2016 levels: maize yield increased by 89 percent from 1.8mt/ha to 3.4mt/ha; rice yield increased by 48 percent from 2.7mt/ha to 4.0mt/ha and soya yield increased by 200 percent from 1mt/ha to 3.0mt/ha.” Minister of finance .....

Kenya unemployment rate sits at 40% ...I don't know if you know that..

Nonsense I double t you know the meaning of paranoia..learn to use words that you know...

Bad roads, broken down pedestrian lanes, potholed roads at your cbd is extremely unacceptable...Show me those in eastland, athi and I won't bother much...but CBD Nooooo

Looks like river-road/kirinyanga road - seedy part of Nairobi city - where garages & spare parts shop are located. That is what a Nigerian can afford in Nairobi unless he has oil well.

Nonsense that is nairobi main CBD...You can see from the video title that stated walking Nairobi CBD...

Lol it is because of you I even posted it..I love it when you painfully cry wet dreams in pain......we've finally gotten funds, go let your ease of doing business fetch you something like that and stop looking for a way to remain in the shackles of slavery by imitating and celebrating European architecture just so you can get a gentle pat on your back from your previous oppressors....

Btw I spoke for west Africa not Ghana only(I didn't even mention Ghana)..seeing that you were trying to insult this region, someone had to attend up and defend our true cultural architecture rather than copying some European racists savages.

Finally I am glad we've have completed funding for Lagos cable car..While West Africa is driving for modern diversified modern city mode of transportation(light rail,sky train,cable car, water ferries, trams, monorails), idiots from the east (except TZ)are clamouring for Victorian/European architecture which rubs of their cultural values and remind them of their colonial times. .....No wonder their leaders will continue giving them sub-standard infastructures like "COMMON COMMUTER RAIL"


Five Nigerian states in ‘quiet’ push for foreign funds in Johannesburg
By Marcel Mbamalu, Johannesburg | 13 November 2019 | 7:35 pm

President of the African Development Bank, Dr Akinwunmi Adesina (left); and Governor of Abia state, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu…at the African Investment Forum (AIF) in Johannesburg on Wednesday, November 13, 2019

• Hope rises for Lagos’ $280m cable car project
• Kwara, Abia, Cross River in fresh high-profile talks
• US renews investment drive with $60b
• Abia gets two new deals

At least five state governors are currently making quiet moves to secure funding for some of their capital projects as the African Development Bank (AfDB) assembled direct foreign investors in Johannesburg this week.

The states are Kwara, Cross River, Abia, Ekiti and Lagos, which remotely came into the picture through its $280 million cable car project.

The ‘sky car’ project will span 12 kilometres from Ijora, Iddo and Apapa; to Lagos Island (Adeniji Adele, Obalende), Falomo and Victoria Island.

Capt. Dapo Olumide, the chief executive officer of Ropeways Transport, promoters of the Lagos ‘cable car’ project, told The Guardian there are clear signs the project would come to light within the next four years.

“The Lagos cable car project,” he said, “will become fully operational within the next four years, now that we have concluded the funding process for the financing of the $280m project.”

Although a handful of Development Financing Institutions are involved, The Guardian gathered that the trio of African Development Bank, Africa Finance Corporation and African Export-Import Bank are the major financiers.

This came as the United States’ International Development Finance Corporation (IDFC), led by Adam Boehler, signed a Memorandum of Understanding to mobilise additional $5 billion for the continent over the next five years.

AfDB president, Dr Akinwunmi Adesina, disclosed that the bank and the IDFC would co-finance about $2 billion each, just as Boehler announced that the United States government has doubled the size of its IDFC Africa fund from $30 billion to $60 billion and simplified its investment portfolio to include equities.

Although none of the state governors could speak directly on why they made a quiet appearance at the AIF, the governors of Kwara, Abia and Cross River were seen holding private discussions with potential foreign investors at the “upper chambers,” hardly accessible to newsmen.

Mr. Chinenye Nwaogu, the special adviser to Abia State Governor Okezie Ikpeazu later told The Guardian that the state’s chief executive was at the forum at the invitation of Adesina, in connection with the AfDB-assisted infrastructure development programmes, especially the Enyimba Economic City project billed to sit on 9,803 hectares of land and spanning three local government areas of Abia State.

Nwaogu explained that approvals from relevant agencies of the Federal Government, including the Ministry of Finance and the Debt Management Office, have been secured for an initial $200 million AfDB-assisted project.

It was gathered that the AfDB had, three months ago, advanced $1million for ‘project preparation’, including the production of development designs for a 300-kilometre component of an original 500-metre road project.

“We came to thank the AfDB and appeal for speedy approval for the designs that are ready,” the governor’s aide told The Guardian. “He (Adesina) has offered Abia State two more (funding) opportunities, including the $2.5 billion Abia Agro-Processing Zone, which the governor has mandated his team to work on.”

According to Nwaogu, AfDB, following Ikpeazu’s Johannesburg visit has invited the governor to the Ivory Coast headquarters of the bank in January next year to meet with AfDB’s project team, with a view to looking at the scale of progress and approving the designs in phases.

Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi could not speak to the media as he emerged from a private meeting. His aides were however seen sharing prints of the ‘Ekiti State Investment Guide,’ a copy of which was also given to The Guardian. A major preoccupation of the Fayemi administration currently is the Ekiti Airport project.

Cross River Governor Ben Ayade was not available for comments. But one of his aides, in response to an inquiry by The Guardian, confirmed that it was connected with his two pet projects, the $2 billion Deep Seaport and the Superhighway.
The state government needs President Muhammadu Buhari’s approval for a sovereign guarantee on the project.

The deep seaport project embarked upon by Ayade recently attained a major milestone with issuing the Outline Business Case (OBC) certificate by the Federal Government. A sovereign guarantee will, however, boost its actualisation and provide succour following years of hardship occasioned by the loss of Bakassi, a major oil-producing hub.




Displaced Bakassi people are hopeful that the project will make up for the many losses following the ceding of their ancestral homeland to Cameroon. The Bakassi Deep Seaport is expected to be the flagship of Nigeria’s ports.

Kwara State Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, who entered a special boardroom in the company of his Cross River counterpart, was also said to have come seeking support for his pet projects. A source close to the Kwara Government House told The Guardian: “Yes, Kwara is seeking investments in the health sector, agro-processing (especially sugar cane value chain), e-governance, education, industry, etc.”

Contrary to its relatively impressive showing at last year’s African Investment Forum, during which transactions worth more than $7 billion dollars were reportedly sealed through heavy private sector deals, the Nigerian Federal Government did not make a significant presence at boardroom discussions this year.

The Guardian nevertheless spotted President Buhari’s newly appointed Economic Adviser, Sarah Alade, on the sidelines of the three-day event. Last year, led by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, major private sector investors including Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Mr. Tony Elumelu had made significant input at the forum.

Though there was a hint of attendance by the Minister of Finance yesterday, it was unclear why there was no official representation beyond the participation of Nigerians heading international agencies like African Export-Import Bank, Bank of Industry and a few business groups. On the contrary, presidents of many African countries participated in plenary and breakout sessions

Problemkid1:
They have look down on the west

Nigeria not included.... pokuasi is the one creating a generalization

gallivant:
I agree.

Hahahaha the agreement...

rvp20182:
If you ignore the negativity - there is so much to be learned here about Ghana. Zoo is hopeless. We're are down to the dregs now..likes of samrobo, problemkids...who cannot string one sound argument to save their mother.

You are very very very stupid....look I am not vaxx, vaxx has been very lient on you ...,.Mention your mother again and see what I will do your father ..... emotional idiot...


Funny enough you've been exposing Kenya....There are so many things I never thought to check that vaxx and just30 has brought to limelight..

Shma:
I truly agree with you suffering and smilling. Rvp and vax are diversifying the Topic just a little bit. Knowing one or two things about Ghana and vice versa is not that bad. Let's give Nigerians a break just for today.

Just for today has also prolonged to another day....Don't include us in you nonsense..we are not the ones that said you should to war against your best friends...Hold rvp for that

mtisTheQubit:
Seriously RVP leave the guy for real..lets work on the zoolians..they are alittle bit fun when hammering them..

Lol desperation....I will keep laughing at you , the more insecure and paranoid you get, the more merrier I get

mtisTheQubit:
I dont know what to say about ths Ghna vs everyone bant...Look vaxx you dont need to be drawn into a senseless fight coz a guy just challenged you with a photo..Kazi is really enjoying it if you dont know..look the zoolians call us Kiberas an we are ok coz we know what we got ...You see if you know what you have is good then no need of getting emotional about small stuff.
Look Ghana might not have ths skyscrapers stuff but just like Switzerland life might be good there..

My this is too late...you should have come up with this alot sooner...
Rvp is very stubborn and he will never succumb neither will vaxx....It is way out of your hands now

tylann:
i have not forbidden you from cherry picking
if i cherry pick you too do the same

yes calculate it i will pull out the rvp link about your roads

Okay take rvp position and get disgraced by posting the link..

Oga go fix your road

tylann:
post your roads then i will post kenyan roads so that we compare quality

You deserve a knock on you head......Do you think I will entertain your childish cherry picking....fvck I will calculate your kilometres and use it for comparism.

tylann:
are those roads bads
can we compare them to badagary expressway or apapa road to your main port

You can't compare your colourless, less quality road to a construction site?.

The comparism man

Kazikazi:
That is worse than a pyramid scheme. In a pyramid scheme,a guy who took people's money will vanish in a thin air once he notice the scheme is no more sustainable
But for a nation like Kenya to do such a thing is very terrible. The lenders will want their monies,if not paid,they will recolonize the whole nation.There is no way a nation will try to run away from those lnders

Neocolonization is coming fast

GENEGIRIA:
Kenya is not a paradise that you want to portray. Kenya is a very corrupt country. How much electricity do you produce? Stop talking crap.

Lol you.people are provoking petrodola ooooo....Anyway for the first time I agree with what he said..

tylann:


let them continue it is getting interesting

But not more interesting than learning about your country economy..You better join me to learn, this moment is crucial

gallivant:
Clearly, much better than Quora.

You are right...I love the way vaxx is analysing things...
It's been very educative.

rvp2018:
We rather import machineries than chinese finished goods or re-badged goods. We use the machine for what you can call import-substitution.

Nonsense..what are you import substituting...

You still depend food importation by the way

vaxx2:
I still maintain it is better to seek for IMF bail out than using debt to service debt . what a mess.


Rvp only want us to exposed kenya the more and that is interesting......

Pls do , it's been interesting and educative so far

rvp2018:
Kenya has very good domestic economy. You don't have to export to be vibrant.

Then what is the purpose of importing this machineries if it won't meet export target.

rvp2018:
5.6% is slow down from 6.1% last year.

And that is because of weather factor/climate change which affected your agricultural sector....few point below shouldn't cause that massive change...5.6% is still very healthy......

Go check something is fishy in that GDP of your..The earlier you question it the better for yoy

Just30:
who imports machinery and their export value doesnt grow

Kenyaaa it is economically foolish.

aside tea and coffee nothing leaves the shore of Kenya.
