You might want to ask how much a coke costs in England as well

forgiveness:
How much is a bottle of Coke in Ghana?

How much is a crate of egg or one egg in Ghana?

What is the minimum wages in Ghana?

pacretus:
now I understand you are just a teenager.
If we are to go by your analysis,
A Ghanaian lives a better life than a Japanese because 1 cedi = 19 Japanese yen

Oh Ghanaians have a much higher standard of living than a south korean because
1 cedi= 207 South Korea Won.

Don't be the clown and circus bro

Well, clown looks like you and circus looks like those who liked your schizo analysis .
The discussion is about CEDI and Naira and perhaps the shillings.
The value of these currencies reflect so much on the citizens and anything concerning these countries?.

And as dumb as you have always been, you used Japan and Korea as your basis of argument?
so why didn't you mention Japan and S.Korea when we were talking about slums in your country?

The disability in your thinking made you quote Japan and S.korea in currency strength and living standards to buttress your point,
but you forgot other factors that make living/life in those countries better than ours?
conditions such as Good Salaries, Governments social interventions, Developments, positive attitudes, ETC makes these Countries not fit for any Currency debate here. I never knew nigeria and kenya are on the same level as Japan and S. Korea?

But as for those who liked your juvenile analysis, I'm not surprised because they are too shallow in their thinking let alone analyzing and comprehending issues sensibly.

jln115:
They will pay the same bro!!...... Your logic mate

They will pay the same only if shillings changed into Dollar is the same as Cedis.

BeforeJuly:
Our currency doesn't have a very bright future on the short term but what I can tell you for free is that we weren't re-denominated in 2007.
Also what I can tell you for free is that our currency isn't just strong on paper like the cedi.
I can also tell you that the naira brings a lot more value to the table than the Ghanaian cedi.
We could also talk about how the cedi makes basic stuff in Ghana expensive.

You satisfied?


Look who's talking!
You don't just this exact thing here the last 12 or more pages so yes it is my concern!

Also I don't like seeing my Ghanaian people Paying extremel prices for basic stuff.

That shows you how poor your country is.
Ask your fellow nigerian's in Ghana and they will confirm to you the living standards in Ghana..very very high
The Ordinary Ghanaian is used to it but nigerian's here always complain about how expensive Ghana is..
And for value of money, you need to ask your fellow nigerian in Ghana the value of Cedis when converted into naira..

Its just like you asking the value of Dollar in USA, it doesn't do much there, but change it into your country's currency and you will know the value,.

As far as Currencies are concerned, Cedis is still higher than naira..
If re-denominating a Currency can change the fortunes of ''your country's currency'' then what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for Donald Trump to ask your Government to do a re-denomination of your currency?

jln115:
You do realise its not all about the value to the dollar right? Its about what you can buy with the Cedi in your own country. In other words it about ppp

What are you driving at?
Are you talking about value of both currencies?
So if you and I are supposed to convert Cedis and shillings into Dollars and buy Ferrari, who do you think will pay higher than his colleague?

rvp20182:
The strength of a currency is it's stability..check the deprecation or appreciation against USD for starters.Japanese yen has many zeros but it's not weak.The zeros don't matter...what matters is currency ability to preserve it's value.The best currency is gold for example..but it's not practical.I don't want to wake up with cedis that loses 1/4 of it's value annually.That me losing 1/4 of my wealth annually

All you are saying is just like an Ugly man praising himself about having a huge D1ck than his handsome competitor over a lady..

the question is, How is your currency against the Cedi or Dollar?
So stop beating about the bush.

Shillings VRS Cedi
Shillings VRS Dollar
Cedi VRS Dollar

rvp20182:
1000 is less than zeros you took off the cedis to peg it to a dollar...and yet now it's a dollar to 6 cedis.You don't know what a strong currency is.You cannot paint a pig lips and proclaim it's not a pig no more

So after pegging Cedi to Dollar, peg the Dollar to Shillings and see.

A ''weak Cedi'' is still stronger Currency than Shillings

A painted pig lips still looks like a pig, but a living Pig looks better than a lifeless monkey

rvp2018:
Which rural areas of kenya are highly undeveloped. Turkana maybe. And other deserts. Otherwise rural kenya where I come from - nearly everyone has electricity 24-7 - we have paved roads - and those not paved - are well maintained murram roads. Our small-holder agricluture is a model for Africa.

See this guy?
Are you talking about Electricity coverage here? Oh my Gwad

rvp2018:
Kenya has always had a rural-focus to development - because we knew from word go - if we encourage rural-urban migration - with level of our economy - we would end up like Ghana or Nigeria. With huge slumpolis breeding poverty, crime and all ills.

You cannot have 50% urbanization when you're as poor as Nigeria or Ghana. South Africa got there recently. China is just about 50% urbanization despite their level of development now.

Now look at Ghana and Nigeria - huge informal slumpolis - where everyone is trying to escape abroad - otherwise they are hustling as hawkers, small traders and name it.

Read where most growth and poverty reduction is happening - Rural kenya.

https://blogs.worldbank.org/africacan/more-than-just-growth-accelerating-poverty-reduction-in-kenya

The WORD Poverty/Poor has been ordained and customized for Kenyan's so please learn how to use these words.
Nobody likes that title so keep it....
Its so painful to hear a Kenyan calling another Country/person ''Poor/Poverty''.
Don't say that again

rvp2018:
1) I don't work for Kenya Gov - and I don't calculate it. IMF are doing projections and calculations together with WB using the same figures.
2) We don't have a problem with investment - Ghana is attracting mining dollars - we are attracting broad-based investment.
3) PPP is useful for internal stuff - like calculating poverty. No sane investor will come to a country whose currency is as useless as CEDIS. Unless they are coming for GOLD - or OIL - which is not sold in the country or in CEDIS anyway.

Yet your Shilling is less valuable than a toilet paper in Ghana..

Convert 1 Ghana Cedi into Shilling, and you can feed your family for a year.

So the common sense question is,

How much is a Dollar to your shilling and
How much is a Dollar to Cedi..

This is just common sense and simple as A B C..

Even if you are given 1000 years, your country's currency will still be below the Cedi or Kwacha.
fix your currency first before lecturing on other's currency..

rvp2018:
Ghana cedis and Zambia Kwacha are beyond help. They have done that since 1960s.

And do you know the future of your country's currency?
Have you also thought of the depreciation rate of your country's currency?
How is a Dollar / Cedi to your currency?

Always poking your nose into something that has nothing to do with you?

BeforeJuly:
brozay you seem not to grasp a thing in this argument.
what is the depreciation rate of the dollar to cedi?

do you know what it means for your currency to have depreciated at this extreme rate since 2007 when it was just re-denominated?

do you even know the future of the cedi?
it's on a continuous downward trajectory.

you must be kidding fam.

I'll let this die here after this. no time for this back and forth.

Whether the CEDI has been re-denominated or not,
and whether it has depreciated by 100% or not, the question is,

How much is a Cedi to a Dollar??
And how much is a Naira to a Dollar??

BeforeJuly:
young man, first of, I didn't see no tweet of yours. lol!
ok bloke, did you see me acknowledge that?
if you didn't see any text from me agreeing to Ghanaians running in 'times of trouble' or however you term it then don't don't dive foot deep in your feelings mate.


this isn't even a sub and no it wasn't in 1892. .
I've heard from people visiting Ghana that things are on the high side there. and that covers soda too. I didn't increase the prices my west african brother.


lol bro...dont get mad at me. I'm telling you what she said. on God.
if she said otherwise I wouldn't type all this bro. c'mon!
I'm not weird na.


now this is where the tweet mix up is my friend.
thing is, over time I have seen a lot of Ghanaians tweeting about the Nigerian naira compared to the cedi. they always seem to think they're taking big digs at Nigeria.

so I just tell them you can't take a currency that has been re-denominated thrice and has depreciated by 80% since 2007 when it was just re-denominated.
that's what I tell'em.

so you being a Ghanaian always eager to troll Nigerians, I felt you would follow the same line of thought and thought to myself 'why not kill 2 birds with one stone?'

pretty smart right?

You are right,
They've not updated their page for long time now,
But is ongoing
