Moree Day Senior High school.
This is just one of the over 80 completed Day schools in different locations.

These facilities as well as Teachers bungalows and Dinning Hall on each campus.

Just have it at the back of your head that our School infrastructures are better than yours.

abdulhakim3:
Kwame Nkrumah University Of Science and Technology is one of the top University in Ghana.

It is located in Kumasi in the Ashanti region of Ghana.
The school offers various programs from Engineering, Arts, Business, AGric, etc.

As a student of this prestigious school, let me take you round in pictures.

IronGalaxy:
just a point of correction, we South Africans don't care where the tournament is hosted just as long as we qualify. A bid was made a while ago for South Africa to host , I don't remember which tournament exactly but I remember South Africans being against that bid saying there are more pressing issues in the country for money to be invested on. Your assumption that we are somehow jealous when other host when we've already hosted so much stuff is false

I'm not referring to the country "South Africa", rather the Region South Africa.
At least South Africa and Angola ( the 2 countries) have hosted AFCON before.
Mostly the attacks come from Zambians and the others

IronGalaxy:
Absolutely not true!

Unless you don't follow such news online.

Bluntguy:
Football in Africa is mostly played in West and North Africa.

Because they have the facilities as well as the will to host the tournament.

Why do our fellow Africans especially those from East, Central and South always complain about CAF's choice for AFCON hosts?
Most of them are of the opinion that CAF is bias towards West and North African countries whenever they put in their bid to host the senior tournaments(AFCON).

For example,
---Cameroon has been given the right to host 2021 or 2022 tournament( a Central African country)

---Cote Diviore will host the next edition (a West African Country)

--- Guinea Bissau has been given the right to also host the next edition right after C.D (a West African country)

Questions:
Are our brothers and sisters from the other regions justified in their accusations against CAF?

Is it not a case of "who is well prepared for a particular tournament"?(in other words who can best host the tournament)?

Or CAF should allow every country to host AFCON all because it's a tournament for Africans?

tylann:
.
One question why should we host afcon or Chan when Kenya don't even qualify for those competitions or the host gets a free pass
I get the multiplier effect of hosting such events

Actually I did not single out Kenya. You can refer from my first writ.

I only queried why other Africans especially some of our East, Central and South Africans always get annoyed whenever CAF selects a North or West African country to host AFCON.

tylann:
We did hold a major international athletic competition back then remember that it involved the whole world

I get your point but what you are refusing to understand is, Afcon requires a lot than that International athletic competition.

How many infrastructures were needed to host such tournament?
How many Kenyan Cities were involved?

Afcon is bigger than that International athletic competition.

Any country that has hosted Afcon can easily host any International athletic competition.

Kazikazi:
Pointless.
How can someone wait for afcon before he improves his own sanitation and healthcare?
The nations like Mauritius and syschelles have the best sanitation, healthcare and other stuff, but they didn't host Afcon.
Meanwhile you have Burkina Faso,Mali and other shitholes who hosted Afcon but are still living in dust

You are deviating from the topic.
And stop attacking other countries.

1-- Yes, its not every country that can Host AFCON.
2-- About the advantages I listed, I did not say countries are not doing them already,
anyone that have witnessed a grand tournament knows what goes on before the tournament kicks off.

Even Electricity supply is improved during that time, it does not mean the host countries did not have them already.

Ask South Africans whether *hosting of World cup* did not help improve anything in their country.

tylann:
West African countries are good at football East and southern Africa are not
Believe me if we host any football competition Kenya will not pass even the group stage that is embrassment of another level

But Kenya wouldn't be the first nor the last to host AFCON and could not go beyond group stage.

Hosting AFCON have a lot of advantages.
Aside building stadiums,
It helps the nation to improve on their
--Health facilities
--Improve the Hospitality sector
--Improve on your transportation sector
--Improve sanitation cos you would want
foreignerss to see too much dirt's around
--You sell your country to the world
-- Local sellers will have good sales
--You can use those facilities to host other tournaments in future.

tylann:
Kenya will happily host athletic championships where it's sure we will emerge the winners
But football nay why waste money to host such knowing very well we will be embarrassed at our own country so football we pass that

You want to *host and win*?

gallivant:
Kenya prefers hosting international tournaments, not Afcon.

Of all the sports football and Olympics are the biggest.
A country requires a lot of infrastructures or financial muscle to host them.

Any country that have hosted AFCON tournament before can easily host the International tournament you are talking about.

Kazikazi:
Yes its a good idea although it can't work properly. With a new expanded program, a host nation need to have about 6 or more world standard soccer pitch. I wonder if we have many nations in east of southern Africa who will be willing to waste money on those white elephant stadiums.
Imagine a small nation like rwanda,Burundi,syshelles,Lesotho,Mauritius etc,these fellows can't waste money on constructing stuff which won't be needed afterwards.
Then we have different priorities. One nation will prefer using 100 million and construct a tourist hotel which will bring money forever than having a soccer pitch which have no ROI.

Few nations in east or southern Africa will bid for hosting AfCON. Only SA and Angola in southern Africa,and I wonder if there is anyone in east Africa who is interested on pumping money to host afcon in the near future

Yes, CAF considers a whole lot of things before selecting a country to host a tournament.

-- They look at the Governments of those countries bidding for the tournament. The Government should show some interest.
--They consider the Stadiums that will be used for the tournament.
-- Security
-- Transportation facilities
-- Health facilities
-- Accommodation
-- etc

But then again, it all boils down to interest.

Just as you said * most East and South African countries will not waste money on such tournaments* but any time CAF announces a host nation and it happens to be a North or West African country then some of our brothers and sisters from the other side are annoyed. They abuse CAF and West African countries

theenchanter:
zoning should be considered.

Like say, one edition goes to north africa, the next goes to east, then other regions..... And u keep rotating it or something.

I think that idea would be better and of course, cease complaints, since only the countries in a chosen region will compete to be the host instead of making all the 50something countries vie for d host nation.

The emboldened is a good idea.
With that all the regions will have a chance to host AFCON.

But to ensure a competitive bidding I think CAF should adopt the current FIFA strategy.
The system which allows for countries in 3 regions to put in their biding for a particular tournament.

For example.
Cameroon is in central Africa so a Central African country cannot bid for the next two tournaments (ie. 2023 and 2025 tournaments)

Cote D'ivoire will host 2023 (a West African country) so West African countries cannot bid for 2025 and 2027 tournaments.

With this, countries in the regions that just hosted will allow other countries from other regions to have their turn to host.

Though the idea is to allow for all regions to host AFCON, there should be some level of competition among the interested countries.

By the way, why do our fellow Africans especially those from East, Central and South always complain about CAF's selections for AFCON tournaments?

Most of them are of the opinion that CAF is bias towards West and North African countries whenever countries put in their bid to host the senior tournaments(AFCON). Is it even true?

For example,
---Cameroon has been given the right to host 2021 or 2022 tournament( a Central African country)

---Cote Diviore will host the next edition (a West African Country)

--- Guinea Bissau has been given the right to also host the next edition right after C.D (a West African country)

Harmless questions

COVID 19 has really affected the African football calendar.

Had it not been Covid 19
--Nigeria would be preparing to host 2021 WAFU Tournament

-- Cameroon would be preparing for 2021 AFCON tournament.

Hmm, man proposes but God disposes.

gallivant:
The pictures making you scream Indians.

Comedy

These pictures that have been on a repeat mode for many years now?

I want to see new pictures not these ones.

gallivant:
The pictures still giving you a headache?

Which pictures?

rvp2018:
872 or 900 still a pretty low number. Take control of your country from the church.

Our country is in safe hands. The churches are doing well.

No indian is controlling our economy or government.

rvp2018:
How can we move on when you have 800 senior high schools only,.

I know right?
When Indians control your country that's how you think and behave.

It's 800+ schools that are operating now.
Many Secondary schools have folded up sake of the Free SHS program.

A poor Kenyan like you should be thinking of what you will eat tomorrow and not *the number of SHS there are in Ghana*.

You've started your village attitude again?

I'm sure you guys are happy with the *Village tag*.

No normal thinking human being will make this a big deal. Almost all mission schools in Ghana are run by Government. Government is responsible for everything in those schools.

In Kenya things are done differently.
This is how we do it in Ghana, learn and move on and stop your village attitude.

rvp2018:
Ghana should learn something from kenya education sector

But many of us who grew up under President Daniel Moi will remember the massive wave of fundraisers to build schools that were conducted under his reign. At some point, there were schools simply known as “harambee schools” coming up in nearly every sub-location in the country. Whatever one may fault the late President for, one thing for sure was that he loved education and went out of his way to build schools all over the country. This is especially so for girls’ schools.

In a big way, Moi expanded the horizon for the education of girls, creating the beautiful phenomenon where there were schools named “Moi Girls” in every corner of the country. I am surprised that this is a conversation we rarely have, because with this shot in the arm for girl child education, Moi empowered the modern Kenyan woman in a way no one else did.

This changed the academic map tremendously from mostly schools built by churches and colonialists, to new ones that absorbed increasing numbers of learners. Indeed, some of the private schools associated with Moisuch as Sacho, Sunshine and Moi Educational Centre remain some of the best run schools in the country, a legacy that you cannot deny Moi.

Your foolishness just like zeeworld gets extra ordinary with each passing day.

And what will I need such nonsense information for?

Forcing yourself to be a Ghanaian doesn't make you one, shut up and sleep.

Low self esteem.
