Abohboy: Not exactly dependant but they did go to Nigeria to try and bring in more industry into Ghana like when Nkrumah personaly asked Odutola to bring his tyre retreading and rubber factories to Ghana
Mention those tyre and rubber factories make we see? you guys like spreading falsehood too much.
Just as you guys claim you supply Ghana electricity etc and up till now there's no evidence to that claim.
Please, Asikiwe and Nkrumah were very close friends, that we know but don't go further by adding all false claims to the story.
We were taught history in Ghana too. We know our country just as you know yours so don't exaggerate.
Shma2020: But you can't compare skyscrapers with highrise & low-rise buildings bro. Skyscrapers have an upper hand. Skyscrapers are much more expensive. Skyscrapers are more esthetically appealing in both skyline & on ground whilst the low rise only dominates on ground. In a nutshell, Skyscrapers are basically advancement of engineering.
You missed the point. Skyscrapers add beauty and all that to a city but that's not the only indicator of a developing/ed city... City development goes beyond skyscrapers, that's my point.
Shma2020: By this pic, Nairobi will still look far better than many cities even when all skyscrapers were removed. Some people come here to say, oooh... Nairobi is all about skyscrapers, ooooh. Skyscrapers are nothing.. Oooh skyscrapers does not imply anything... Now see this pic. Just a clean nice dwarf city.
The emboldened... That's to you and your people.
You guys make it look as if city development is all about skyscrapers.
Shma2020: Generalization is not an answer. You can't mention the name for specific country we're talking about - in this context, it's nigeria and taxi - You have no balls to say it . And get it anyway, I guess you don't want wahala
You know me already. If I was really referring to Nigeria like I would have tagged them long time. That wouldn't be difficult for me to do.
You made a comment and I replied you so take it from me, I made a general statement with no country(a targgeted country) in mind....... After the daily nairaland brouhaha, we (all of us) in our corners know how good or bad we are faring in our various countries.
: Stop beating around the corners. Say it as it is, mention names. Don't be a Wuss. But I get your point anyway. And I respect that.To all countries on this page.
Shma2020: Is this my statement? Why are you telling me to use my brain yet I was even trying to dispute his point?
Nigerians have seaten on your head to a point where they can speak any bsh*t about your country and they know you can't do anything. You have no balls to defend yourselves from such allegations but you have the audacity to come at me with your insecurities.. This is interesting. I will live it at that
In your heart you know the emboldened is a palpable falsehood from the pit of hell.
Anyways, he who that is suffering insecurities knows it, same way those that are suffering in their country knows it themselves.
You can brag all day on nairaland but you know how good or bad you are faring in your country..
Shma2020: So nigerians buy taxis for hobbits to run their business and bring revenue back to Nigerians? Interesting
funny
Bolt, Uber and Taxi, Nigerians in that sector are negligible, not common to see them there..... They operate more in Ghana-nigeria route/trip and other sectors especially buying and selling sector..
Stop behaving like a kid. If Uganda or Sudanese population keeps increasing in Kenya does it mean they are employing Kenyans? just use your brain.
Just30: In 2021 and you are still referring to something from 2005
You are really desperate
Its a know fact that your country does not produce much pharmaceuticals..
IN Ghana, each manufacturer you will pick is doing more than 600 different products.. Kenya needs to learn both the manufacturing end and the dispensary end of the pharmaceutical industry..
His brain cells are so dead. Arguing with this dude is a whole exercise on its own. He will just quote any report regardless of the year it was published.
SUFFERInSMILIIN: Please just look what is happening to my country and you shall understand my pain and anger would my country Christians are being slaughtered on a daily basis look how they are carrying people's cops in Nigeria right now. Yes I know you are not impressed by what I am saying but only when you are in a situation of most Nigerians you will understand what I am saying. You can criticize me but I need to tell the truth of what is happening in Nigeria the pain of the Citizens is too much your suffering in the country is too much for the past 60 years we have been fooling and deceiving ourselves enough is enough. Just look at how my Christian brothers are being slaughtered on a daily basis you will understand my pain. It is better Nigeria brakes up and the country go to hell
You better change your ways. Why don't you go to Buhari and talk to him?
You are disgracing yourself rather. Those Nigerians on this page are equally citizens like you, there's nothing they can do about these things you are posting here.
rvp20182: Cedis is the weakest currency. Since you redenominated to 1:1 a dollar; it has weaken 600 percent to 6 cedis to a dollar. Naira in that period has weaken from 150 to 380 - that 3 times; Cedis 6 times; Kshs in that period has weaken from 70-80 to now 110 - now even by 1 times.

theTranscriber: I already gave you the reason I hope you can read?
You claim it gives false impression so does it mean Banking experts outside Ghana don't know the real strength of the Cedi against the Dollar? If you change your currency into Dollar and a Ghanaian also changes his or her cedi into Dollar because of the false impressing created by Bank of Ghana so the Cedi will be more valuable than your naira, is that it?
theTranscriber: It only gives a false impression of a good economy The Korean won is 1200 for a dollar Yet they have one of the best economies in the world
We are talking about a Local currency strength against the Dollar.. If removing zero's alone can make a currency strong then why are you not doing same? If it's that easy then Zimbabwe Dollar should be 1:1US Dollar.
Don't tell me the central Bank in your country don't know how to remove zero's from a currency.
SUFFERInSMILIIN: I am not going to tell lies I am going to tell the truth as it is on the ground the truth will set me free. I am very balance with my reporting but look at the situation of Nigeria at the moment and tell me even if one person is happy in the country. Nobody can be happy when the country is now a sinking ship
I don't know the problem you have with your own country.
I'm not asking you to lie about your country, it's only fair that you present a balanced reportage about your country. It's not all bad there, the negativity you spread about your country use same energy to spread some positives about your country.
I don't know about others but I have never been impressed by your posts from day one.
rvp20182: Maybe I am wrong. Azikwe I know was in the failed Biafra war.He definitely cannot wash Tom Mboya shoes. In Africa only Nelson Mandela is top. Not because Mandela is more intelligent but because he suffered for 27yrs and still managed to deliver South Africa - only to be messed up by Thabo Mbeki, Zuma and the current leadership.
Again I encourage you to pay some attention and listen to one TOM MBOYA - arguably one of Africa best leaders- I'd would have said Jomo Kenyatta if I was looking for easy populism - but definitely Africa deserve Tom Mboyas.
This is Mboya in 1950s - aged 20s!!!!!!!!!!!!! Self-educated African - very few Africans will achieve this clarity of mind - 60yrs later.
rvp20182: You dont know him because you're ignorant and proud of it. Azikwe is only recognized for his failed effort to free the Igbo from well known slavery of the Northern Nigeria. He is just an Army dude. Nkrumah started well - but like Nyerere - made way too many mistakes - Ghanian kicked him out and his entire elite. Nkrumah died in exile - and his country Ghana would suffer his mistake for 30yrs.
Only the smartest of Africa recognise Tom Mboya.
Tom Mboya was TERRIFIC and by 20s was being elected in Lagos to head Africa.
Tom Mboya with his charisma and oratory skills CHOOSE never to take the easy path to populism
He said the truth - the unpopular truth. Tom Mboya is a legend for those that know him.
I first read Mboya biography in 1990s in university and 30yrs I remain as enamored as I was then. Africa need Mboyas.
Of all black leaders - I'd say only former US President Obama Jnr and Tom Mboya makes the white man recognize African can have top brains
Listen to this audio interview. This Pres Obama kind of IQ. This make the white man turn all colour of rainbow - as they dont expect an African to have such a nimble mind.
