Atewa forest ( home to several species of birds, monkey and butterfly that are very rare to see anywhere. Infact they have gone into extinction in many part of the world. Ghana Goverment is been forced to make this place an eco park instead of mining area.

If the mining is for high economic value
The govt will just have it is way

vaxx2:
so many factor, political interest (i.e) opposition party will always disagree , ecological factor which i think make sense. Though the Goverment had made interest not to temper with Atewa forest which probably house the single highest amount of bauxite in Ghana. They intend to choose other two other location.

The very high index of biodiversity in Atewa forest make it a thing of environmental concern , the presence of many endemic species, source of major rivers and several other species known from nowhere else in Ghana, like the last species of white nabbed magabe monkey and some several butterfly and birds that are not available elsewhere.likewise the pan-African rarity status of many of the species present in the Atewa Forest combine to indicate that its conservation importance is of the highest priority that the area should not be subject to development of any kind.

Iam an environmentalist
So iam with them

Aluminium

Okay

vaxx2:
The whole package is 19 billion dollar from diffrence source in China, the two billion dollar which is part of the 19 billion dollar is a deal from a construction firm in china. So at a later stage, bauxite refinary will be built in Ghana within the span of three years. This alone could made Ghana become a powerful country in the world if Goverment get the priority right. The bauxite refined product is expected to rake in 1. 5 trillion dollar and create about 2.3 million job. From valco company themselves. Though there is ecological challenges to this prospect

And why are some people opposed to it

vaxx2:
It is not a loan but trade by barter.

Okay
That is the good thing about having mineral resources
If you use them the right way

vaxx2:
valco is 100 percent goverment company

Okay so it is the one paying the debts

vaxx2:
in exchange of aluminium proceeds from bauxite resources. GHANA has an aluminium company and is intending to build ANOTHER one

Okay
Is that aluminum company owned by the govt .

Just30:
processed goods for infrastructure deals

Which processsed goods ??

Just30:
Yes
the processed aluminium from valco is what will be used to pay off the loan.
Government is also working to set up and integrated aluminium industry in the western region.

Minerals for infrastructure deal

After we sign the construction of 30b gas LNG plant,we will grow in a speed of light,15% per annum GDP growth! We will u hide ur face??

That LNG plant will become another bagamoyo port
You can only grow at 15% if CCM says so but not in reality

Jonraid:
By 2023, the GDP will be at 157 b according to the latest projections. The most important thing for me is however to channell this growth and make it relevant to the common man in our small towns and villages!

Economic growth must trickle down to the common man for it to make sense

Kazikazi:
IMF is not correct. We have world bank and Afdb who do correct analysis

Haa
When they don't favour you they are not correct
You growth rate has been revised to 4% accept it
Tanzania is embrassing east Africa with mediocre economic growth

Kazikazi:
Hohohohoho...

Air tz has 0 planes remember

Hati13:
But on TV I saw the plane didn’t arrived because Uhuru isn’t in the country. I’m not sure but maybe the plane we asked could be the government owned one.

You guys are head on lots of things compared with us. Good for you.

Uhuru is back now
Maybe you ordered for military planes or kws planes I don't know if the Uhuru has to give such permission

Kazikazi:
Stop your madness. Give me official figures of Tanzanians who live in Kenya!

Then stop being proud of working in foreign lands! Japanese are not proud of working in foreign lands. Singaporeans are not doing that either. Did u ever hear a rich nation being proud because her citizen are sending remittances back home?

Hohohohoho

But
You are proud working in south Africa your dream country
There are more than 200k tanzanians in Kenya
Including your beggars and witch doctors

Jonraid:
Talk about getting banged!

They are getting the dck hard

I will put that on my plans.I believe I will enjoy these wonderful views and sites.I love dem pics.Splendid,keep it up Wakanda of Africa and good for the relationship between the two nations Kenya is one of the six nations worldwide which the Ghanaian government have agreements with for visa free travels for 90 days so all I need is to grab my passport and then voila!

.

I never knew we had free visa deal with ghana now i know
Iam sure you will enjoy your visit in Nairobi
Don't forget to visit Nakuru town where iam based it is also a wonderful place

chrisagyei:
best road network in where,hahaha I believe you should say best road network in Abuja instead because I will be disappointed even if that thing is the best road network in Nigeria because it's ugly and of poor quality much more saying best in Africa.Listen,Africa is down buh it doesn't mean we soo corrupt and extremely poor to have that useless piece of road as the best.That's an insult to Africa.After investing an uncounted tens of billions of dollars into that white unproductive elites and corrupt politicians dominated city,that's what you could produce.I cry for the poverty capital.You see this construction here in a suburb of Accra.It was built for 70 million dollars and that's what I call value for money

That road he posted even lack road markings
I don't why infrastructure in Nigeria is done in a haphazard manner

chrisagyei:
"I like that" in DJ Khalid's voice

Visit nairobi

kikuyu1:
AARRGGHHHH!? Btw,the past decade every project has been delayed by lawyers;we've become a litiginous society wasting time pushing up project costs and enriching lawyers. I admire the authoritarian way like Ethiopia-a need is identified,funding secured and construction starts with idlers,the ignorant and malicious keeping their peace.

That is everything wrong with democracy
People spend time in courts arguing over nothing
You are the Ethiopia and china style works very well when it comes in initiating and building development projects

vaxx2:
Guess what, after the completion of the building, only the few elites will be able to afford ir.

I am sure mini industrial park across the 36 states of Nigeria will be more productive and economically reasonable to have. More educational trainning and more job will be created indirectly or directly.

Yes prioties are fcked up
Industrial parks will employ the masses
And improve the economy
But Africa leadership has screwed up prioties

This is why i says, the economic and political institution of Nigeria weren't set up for the people but tbe few elites.

You see them building eko Atlantic, abuja centinary, which we all occupied by only the rich ones.

That is true eko Atlantic and the co.
Are meant for the rich
Such investments could have gone to industrial parks instead of cities

vaxx2:
i think the money contain allowances as well. Though this is different from a yearly constituency budget of 5.5m dollar.

Nigeria's minimum wage, meanwhile, is less than 50 dollar a month.

That minimum wage is too low
Buhari has yet to sign the new one into effect
People see politics as an easy way to become rich

NIgeria senators earns triple of what American senators earn

If this policy can be implemented, political career in Nigeria we see a new development. More interested people who are ready to serve their nation and not their pocket will come on board. People who really want to change, people who love the country with passion will be identify.

Do you know it takes about 25 million naira to get a presidential ticket under buhari political party.. This is huge money,

.maybe that is why Nigeria borrow to pay salaries that is alot of money for real just for salaries what about the allowances

This is what a king from northern part of nigeria have to say. He was a former governor of the central bank of Nigeria.

SANUSI LAMIDO SANUSI TO BUHARI

Change should start with the National assembly: A Senator receives N36,000,000 (thirty-six million Naira) monthly.

If this is divided into two = N18,000,000 million (Eighteen million Naira). The second half which is N18,000,000 (eighteen million Naira) can be used to employ 200 Nigerians, each earning a salary of N90,000 (ninety thousand Naira) monthly.

When you multiply 200 people with the number of Senators (109), this will give 21,800 Nigerians gainful employment. In short, 200 Nigerians will be able to live a comfortable life on half a Senator’s monthly salary.

A member of the House of Representatives receives a salary of N25,000,000 (tenty-five million Naira) monthly.

If this salary is divided in two = N12,500,000 (twelve million and five hundred thousand Naira). The other half, which is the sum of N12,500,000 (twelve million and five hundred thousand Naira) will be enough to employ 135 Nigerians with a monthly salary of N92.500 (ninety-two thousand and five hundred Naira) each.

Nigeria has 360 Members of the House of Representatives, half of their salaries can employ 48,600 Nigerians who can live comfortable lives.

So, Baba Buhari’s Administration can employ 70,400 Nigerians with monthly salaries ranging from N90,000 to N92.500 accordingly. This is just by dividing the salaries of Senators and Members of the House of Representatives.

Half their present salaries is more than enough for them in a country where majority of Nigerians live on less than a dollar a day. (Now think of all the other over bloated salaries and allowances of Ministers and others)

You may try this idea Your Excellency, the President.

.

The thing is will the senators accept in Africa the system is about patronage and cronyism
Although kenya politicians take huge salaries also
This nigeria one is too much

Hohohohoho...
I feel sorry for kiberans

And for some reason you think Tanzania will qualify

Such a donkey

NIgeria will need to first clean up the mess in his political and economic institution. A critical scrutiny of that sector shows they weren't set up for the cares of people but for the few rich elites.

That is how oil money behaves it creates wealth for the few wealth elites and the rest are left on the fringes in squalor conditions even Angola suffers the same way

vaxx2:
The last statement was what i am talking about. Oil money comes very cheap without much stress like agriculture

A Norway company recently announced what may be term as the biggest oil find in Africa in Ghana water .it has about 450-550 million barrels, with potential recoverable reserves of nearly one billion barrels. That is huge and can significantly boom the economy but in a very lazy way. Which i don't support.

NIGERIA is a case study of what oil wealth can cause to any country that solely depend on it.

Yes oil makes countries lazy you just sell the oil you get your billion dollars hence the Dutch disease
Nigeria misused it is oil
Nigeria needs to adopt the China model to develop
