GeneralDae:
Do you want Mahama back or a totally new Person?

rvp20182:
Yes that crazy Kenya constitution caps minister at 22.They need fiscal discipline that factor lean times when minerals are down

POKUASI2:
stop the lie.
Ghana economy has been sick since 2018.
If things were that ok before before covid then why were Ghanaians singing 2020 we go show nanaaaa

GeneralDae:
Nothing that serious in my opinion though, at least nothing too strange so to say.
Ghana has been to the IMF 16 times since 1957 and the new NPP Government tried to break away from this tradition by developing home grown policies especially the E levies. This simply have not worked as intended and they were beginning to have investors lose faith in their economy, it was becoming difficult to find lenders as well. COVID-19 and to a smaller extent Russian-Ukraine war have also hit the economy hard, coupled with the fact that Ghana have always had problems with Inflation.

The Nana Addo Akufo Government have constantly criticised the previous Government for depending on bodies like the IMF when things go sour and they vowed to break that tradition, they vowed never to go to the IMF saying Ghana would implement Home grown solutions to the economic challenges they face.
In their words, any Government that goes the IMF way is a failure and the NPP Government (present Government) would never do that for as long as they remain in power. But now they seem to have eaten their words and are going back to the IMF for survival.

Kazikazi:
Son,what's going on in Ghana? Can you inform me about their economy since I noticed many folks here are teaching them on how to run their economy. Is ghana starving now? Or are they cooking stones now?

popizaino:
Ghanaians are not ready to take the bull by the horns just yet and I like i said earlier, they love to walk before crawling. They live in the delusion of been more special and better than every African country so they rather study the economy policies of big countries like Switzerland, Norway, Singapore,Hongkong than to study economy policies of countries closer to them and also forgetting it's a different world with different challenges thus leaving out the core fundamentals of how those countries got there. You need to be here and listen to the local media to see the standards they have set for themselves. It is always about how Sweden,Denmark has done it not about how their very next door neighbours Cote d'ivoire has been able to keep inflation to the bearest minimum,not about how Nigeria has been able to keep her economic aloft despite her challenges,it is about how the UK has done it. In economy you study parallel models not unparallel stuffs like they do.

rvp20182:
That nana loves flowery speeches but sound hollow in his irritating voice

GeneralDae:
Ghana had no choice though, I feel they should have gone to the IMF a little bit earlier ( late last year maybe), but it's not too late at the moment. If they had waited say 6 more months in the name of politics, it would have been a disastrous situation.

POKUASI2:
Your country would have collapsed if you had not ran to the IMF.
Bear in mind that e.levy did only 10 percent of the projected revenue

POKUASI2:
y'all ran to the IMF after all the motivational speeches of AID TO TRADE and other nonsense yall been throwing around 6yrs now. Look where you guys ended.

chrisooblog:
Hmmm truth is for all our sakes the Ukraine-Russia war has to be resolved very soon or else everyone is going to chop breakfast like Ghana at the moment Nigeria and Kenya included.

Your President started out well but he's lost the plot lately. Using state resources to build a church when there is an economic crisis shows just how unserious he is.

rvp2018:
Agreed - you can tell from their 500% plus cedis depriciation since 2017. Ghana looks good on paper until you look at the pictures on the ground. Then you examine it's macro-economics - cedis depreciation that is crazy, inflation, interest rate, very expensive prizes for everything -despite gold, oil and bauxite.

I think only difference btw Kenya and many countries - we start shouting when things start turning south

rvp2018:
The signs are all over. Ghana is going to be amongst the first to fall unless it changes tact. The Ukraine-Russia war look set to continue for sometime - and so many economies will collapse unless they change. To change tact...require very tough leadership...soon forexs are going to run short. Countries need to cut down on ANY capital investment in the medium term. Stop building roads or dams ASAP. Cut development budget to zero. Focus on stimulus package that can inject money to the economy - think about reducing imports to bare minimum - try to keep the economy running until this Ukraine-Russian-NATO - COVID mess is clear.

Most importantly Africa need a unified response to this - because if every country run to IMF - then they will be eaten alive. First there has be a moratorium on debt repayments to rich nations until they settle their wars. The forex are running short. Commodities globally are expensive - so you need double the dollars to buy the same things.

POKUASI2:
It was on this forum I stated that a certain country risk collapse if they don't swallow their pride and run to the IMF as always.
Thank God I've been proven right at the end of the day...

Just40:


Ive seen what you've done

Shma:
That is a normal zebra crossing lane.

Some countries in West Africa have this kind of zebra mark on the entire road.

rvp2018:
Nairobi fixing pavements problem...if this done in entire city..Nairobi would be as good as any developed city.

Bloodofthelambo:
when we talk morality, slavery is more dignifying, But in reality sex workers live average life. OK Kenyans here should know better, they are involved in both 'trade' in the middle east

POKUASI2:
several billionaires?? Several billionaires that nobody knows and have heard of.
Several billionaires! Maybe Indians that own your country and control your economy.
Who believes what your govt data that are usually manipulated. I've been to almost every part of your country and know that 60 percent of your youths between the ages of 16 to 30 don't have a job.
Besides unemployed data are collated from people looking for job but in ghana's case alot of Ghanaian youths believe there's no job in ghana hence wouldn't bother looking for one.
Your country is on LIFE SUPPORT.


Here are Ghanaian youths sleeping in the streets of Accra at night despite money shower �

compared to WEST, EAST, SOUTH & NORTH. Central Africa is still a much less consolidated subregion . Although it's considered part of Africa, it has no country that can influence anything - both in its region and Africa as a continent, hence why a country like Kenya has more influence in that region than any of its member states.
Soon, there will be no central region. west Africa and east will grab all the nations CAR.

This is president Uhuru receiving DRC. It's already happening. Central region will be out of the picture by 2027.

Shma:
There are 4 regions on the continent: North, East, South and west. When you speak of 2regional powers then ignore the two regions, then your point will be presumed as guesswork.

For instance, Nigeria is a regional power in west Africa.
Kenya is the regional power in east Africa.

South Africa is the regional power in Southern Africa.

South Africa as a Regional Great Power:
South Africa is the wealthiest, most populous and militarily the strongest state in southern Africa. There is no clinical definition of the southern Africa region, but it generally consists of 10 countries: South Africa and its former colony, Namibia; former Portuguese colonies of Angola and Mozambique; former British High Commission territories of Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland; and former Central African Federation members, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The region is basically a geographic unit, but it also contains states which have historically maintained a network of commercial, political or communications links with South Africa

Then Egypt is the regional power of North - Arab land.

gallivant:
It's no different there. Kenyans are winning there too, just waiting for the final tally.

samorobo:
Will tinubu steal and work? Yes he will.
Will his development be one one-sided and malicious,hell the fvck yeah.
South west will reap his investment,and maybe some northern states. He would give a fvck about south-east. He is a tribalism and there is no better way to say it.


I like the fact that he wouldn’t be a pushover to the Fulani’s and can end this insecurity.he is a tough man but then again his health is everything to worry about.

samorobo:
I don’t know,I was probably too you f to experience what tinubu leadership was like but fashola was great for me. I don’t just like tinubu,he reeks of thievery and extreme corruption,not to mention tribalism,most especially to the Igbo’s.

popizaino:
Fashola ,he was simply extraordinaire,although Tinubu gets the stick because he set the precedent to which fashola was able to work on but fashola transformed Lagos.

Kuruptnigga:
ehhn, my brother don’t even go there. Even the lagosians will not agree with you. Tinubu did absolutely nothing in Lagos. Fashola made lagos what’s it today bro.

Saddamochieng00:
I think you got me wrong. I'm talking about something's that's happening to the maasais in Tanzania . The government is evicting thousands of them from their ancestral land in Loliondo to place the land under "conservation". The maasais have obviously not taken this well and put up a fight against the security forces who've shot at them leaving dozens injured. The images are too graphic so let me leave this down below.

Saddamochieng00:
It has come to my attention the gross human rights violation of the Maasai people in Loliondo. First of all, this is a lesson to all of us on how dangerous it is to have women in top leadership positions. All that talk of women leaders being empathetic, compassionate and all that other progressive bullcrap needs to die.
