In one big mouth rant the Professor went to Ghana and behaved unprofessionally and brought Nigeria into disrepute.

When he returns to Nigeria we must flog him for not meeting up to PhD level of reasoning!

buda thank your star, you are not sharing the same CONTINENT with such an animal . From my own perspective. He even don't love Nigeria ( he is one of those who go on preaching breakaway) from their bedroom

Danwakae:
Ghana does not complement NIGERIA....stop saying rubbish, on what ground



Dangote and Adenuga may even richer than Ghana, how can they complement us, when Nigerians are the ones handling their economy, if u don't have knowledge on issue keep shut and don't say rubbish.


Even Niger and Chad are more beneficial to Nigeria than Ghana...IF NOT FOR BAD LEADERSHIP, THEY WONT BE MALTREATING AND KILLING NIGERIANS ANY HOW IN GHANA AND SOUTH AFRICA...NIGERIA STILL REMAIN THE LION OF AFRICA...

Na dem.

Social media is the new Achilles heel of man

social media is a powerful force. My worries, is the prof actually use his foolishness to stop his daily bread. As an international lecturer you are paid in dollars and the amount is far bigger than what he will be collecting in Nigeria assuming he works in Nigeria.

smeag0l:
You have failed to provide statistics in all you mentioned and the quoted numbers you have scantily put in your post are false. Let me refute them one after the other and after this I'm done with you because I see you argue with sentiment rather than facts.Nigeria has far less than 100 million people below age thirteen so I'm wondering where you got 100 million children that are not in school. Secondly, if you look at very populated countries across the world that are developing nations, you'll find similar numbers in terms of literacy rate(check the numbers in indonesia, bangladesh etc). Thirdly, you say four ECOWAS states own WAGP but in what percentages?Nigeria owns more percentage in WAGP than the combined ownership of Ghana, Togo and Benin republic.NNPC owns 25% and should have owned(and can still own) 80% of WAGP but we ceded it to Shell and Chevron as a way of letting them fulfil their corporate social responsibility obligation to Nigeria(Both companies operate in Nigeria in the location where their major asset-the west african gas pipeline orginates). Like I said again, Nigeria can decide to shutdown that line and put majority of ghana in darkness if we want and there's nothing anyone can do about it. The last time the line was down, I remember how your government was calling to beg the nigerian government to tell shell ad chevron to send expertise to get it up and running. These expertise that make this happen are purely Nigerians because ghana doesnt have such expertise, asides the expatriates that work their and when it comes to fixing the WAGP pipeline, it is we Nigerians that do that and even the expatriates learn from us in this regard. I have been part of such delegation before.Fourthly, Nigerian universities like UI, OAU, UNN and UNILAG have been ahead of any Ghanaian university since the 60's up till the mid 2000's(you can check all the rankings like QS, webometrics, I4CU etc to verify this) when only Legon went ahead of us and since 2017 again, we have been ahead. Then again your statement that only few universities in Nigeria are of better standard than their Ghanaia counterparts is very false because, asides Legon and Kwame Nkrumah university, no other universities in Ghana can match the top thirty universities in Nigeria in terms of any statistic you want to use for rankings. Ghanaians never helped build our educational system in any way. They were just migrants that tried to eke a living in Nigeria when we had right thinking people in government. If you look at the cheating stats in that secondary level education, you'll observe that the percentages are slightly the same in both countries. There are far more Nigerians that have made tremendous impact to the world at large than any Ghanaian can ever think of.The only one that comes close is Kofi Annan. Go to universities in america and europe and find out who the most excellent students are in those schools. Majority of the time when you have a Nigerian student in a department, he's always the best. Forget that Nigeria is the way it is now. Ghana was like this too if not for the cleansing of Jerry Rawlings and corruption still exists in Ghana but at a slightly lesser degree than it is in Nigeria. Lastly and to cap it all up, your claim that Thomas Mensah achieved more than any Nigerian and that he is the inventor of fibre optic cable is completely false and baseless. UK based indian physicist, Narinder singh Kapany invented the fiber optic cable in 1952. Please get your facts right before coming here. You are talking to a very well educated person. I won't respond to you on this matter again.

HAHAHAAA, I remember the days ELEMENTARY FORM FOUR GRADUATES FLOCKED INTO NIGERIA AS TEACHERS, GHANAIANS WERE TEACHERS IN NIGERIA EVEN BEFORE AND AFTER THE OIL BOOM. WHAT MAKE NIGERIANS THINK THEY ARE BETTER, I ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW. THOSE WHO PREFER BETTER EDUCATION AND CAN AFFORD SENT THEIR KIDS TO GHANA TO STUDY. CHECK YOUR HISTORY AND STOP YOUR SILLY COMPARISION BECAUSE YOU ARE LYING.

1 CAN MAKE A TALL LIST OF PROMINENT NIGERIANS WITH GHANAIAN DEGREE..

Your IQ shouild be investigated. I repeat you forget India, China, Russia , Brazil are larger country with high percentage of their citizens educated. Why are you comparing Nigeria with not to do well countries like yours.. no uni in nigeria is currently rated than legon in 2019 apart from UI and covenant(proof me wrong with evidence ) And Qs ranking 2018 , Ghana uni is the only school featured in the table from west Africa.

You brag too much. Anyone who had been to the University of Ghana Legon (with a student population of more than 40,000), can testify to the fact that probably no university in Nigeria has more space and facilities than Legon. And there are at least 13 more public universities in Ghana for a population less than lagos and oyo in combine. . There are also a dozen privately-owned universities in Ghana, offering quality education to Ghanaians and foreigners alike, including a growing number of Nigerians.

And in the case of defence, the Ghanaian military is one of the best trained on the continent and had performed exceptionally well in various international assignments. The entire first generation of Nigerian military officers, including Generals Olusegun Obasanjo, Hassan Katsina and Adebayo were all trained in Ghana. Ghanaian army generals have commanded UN troops in Lebanon, Liberia, Rwanda, Darfur, etc over the years.

Small Ghana owns about 16 percent state of the west Africa gas pipe and you don't see it as threat. If you put it in per capital terms. GHANA leads. With Nigeria having less below 26 stake. Ghana gas and equatorial gas are ready to replace Nigeria within a short possible period of time. Just wait A little and see what Ghana will do with her new Gas.

1 am not gonna educate you about Ghana politics. Live it for the Ghanaians. But i will educate you on what you need to know.

Well I mean to say 10 million Nigeria children are out of school. Remove the single zero and tell me which place in the world have such absolute figure.

Ghana ranked 3rd most peaceful country in Africa

Ghana Standflag
Ghana placed 44th in the world with Iceland leading the overall chart


Ghana came third after Botswana and Malawi respectively in the most peaceful country in Africa in the latest Global Peace Index.

Ghana placed 44th in the world with Iceland leading the overall chart as the most ‘peaceful’ nation on Earth in the 2019 Global Peace Index.

In addition, the world’s overall ‘peacefulness’ has improved for the first time in five years – although only marginally.

Afghanistan was bottom of the list, moving below even Syria, while South Sudan, Yemen and Iraq were all in the bottom five.

The report measures the ‘peacefulness’ of 163 countries with a range of measures including military spending and deaths from conflict and terrorism, as well as an estimated economic cost of violence.

Iceland, often portrayed as an idyllic Nordic paradise, came first in the rankings for the 12th year in a row as researchers praised the country’s falling murder rate and increase in funding to UN peacekeeping.

‘The strong institutions, attitudes and structures of peace that Iceland maintains has bolstered the country’s resilience against small internal shocks,’ they said.

New Zealand came second, as the report’s authors noted the violence of the Christchurch mosque attack but said the country had improved other scores and developed a ‘resilience’ to cope with such disasters.

Portugal was third, and Austria fourth despite an increase in ‘likelihood of violent demonstrations’ after a far-right party joined the government.

Denmark was fifth, with European nations dominating the top of the list.

‘Europe remains the most peaceful region in the world and it recorded a very slight improvement in peacefulness after several years of deterioration,’ the report said.

‘However, despite these improvements, the broader political environment in Europe remains uncertain, and resurgent nationalism and terrorism remain significant threats to peace.’

Brexit was also mentioned, as researchers said the UK ‘continues to struggle with its plan for exiting the European Union’ in what they called a ‘mixed’ year for international relations.

Japan scored highly among leading world powers, coming in as the world’s 9th-most peaceful country.

Germany was 22nd, the United Kingdom 45th and France 60th, while the United States dropped four places to 128th.

The report’s authors cited ‘growing political polarisation’ in America, adding that tensions had grown between Washington and Iran.

‘Confidence in US leadership has fallen the most in the past five years, with people now having more confidence in China than the US on average,’ they noted.

Australia’s score also fell slightly, as researchers said the country had increased its military expenditure and weapons imports.

Russia scored badly, coming 10th from bottom, below North Korea.

Afghanistan was bottom, scoring even worse than Syria, where ISIS was swept out of its last patch of territory earlier this year.

‘Despite the improvement this year, the world remains considerably less peaceful now than a decade ago,’ the report’s authors said.

‘A wide range of factors drove the fall in peacefulness over the past decade including increased terrorist activity, the intensification of conflicts in the Middle East, rising regional tensions in Eastern Europe and northeast Asia, increasing numbers of refugees, and heightened political tensions in Europe and the U.S.,’ they explained.

The slight uptick in peacefulness this year was partly fuelled by a reduction in military spending, the report found.

Seventy-two of the countries studied had reduced their level of military expenditure as a share of GDP.

There were also particular regional improvements, including in North Macedonia which struck an agreement with Greece to settle the long-running name dispute between the countries.

There was also an easing of the conflict in Ukraine, where fewer lives were lost.

Not all countries were included in the rankings, with small European nations such as Luxembourg and Liechtenstein among those left out.

You said no university ranks ahead of the university of Ghana yet you still contradicted yourself by saying UI and convenant are ahead. The stats you're giving on literacy rate doesnt make sense cos we have five times more literate people in Nigeria than we have in Ghana.
Waec stats doesn't translate to being better in education cos malpractices happen with connivance of secondary schools and the schools in Ghana aren't left out. In any kind of university ranking on the Web that you can find, UI ranks ahead of any school in Ghana. In some of the rankings, UNN , OAU and Convent are also ahead of all of your universities. Are you saying that those that do these rankings don't know what they're doing? Nigerians are way more intelligent than you guys and it reflects in the quality of education. None of the Nigerians that schooled in ghanaIan universities that I've met are exceptional. They're just normal. Go to the US and see how Nigerians are excelling academically and in industries too. You're just here posting what you don't know and this displays your level of naivety. The west african gas pipeline company having its headquarters in Ghana has only a historic significance as the ecowas meeting that creates the company was held in ghana. The west african gas pipeline which is owned by the company supplies over 5 billion standard cubic feet of gas per year to ghana, togo and benin Republic yet you guys fight and detest nigerians nothwistanding this great favour we are doing you. And yes, it's a favour cos we can decide to shut down the pipeline and parts of your country will be in darkness you aren't going to do anything. The west african gas pipeline company itself just has its headquarters in Ghana. Chevron owns 36.7% of the company, nnpc (nigeria) owns 25%, Shell owns 18%, the river volta authority in Ghana owns 16.3% and the gas association of togo owns 2% and gas association of benin republic owns 2%. Mind you, chevron and shell own such percentage because the Nigerian government requested them to do so as they were operating in the escravos region of nigeria (the place where the pipeline takes of from) at the time. Please don't ever mention me again particularly when you say things you're ignorant of.

You lack factual data and accuracy. Nigeria university started. topping legon just of late. As far back as 2017 downward. No Nigeria UniversIty has such capacity. Do your searching... And agian UniversIty education is not enough to judge academic rigourous of a society. Basic education is far more important.

And about the illiteracy, you only hide under population because it doesn't favour you, if it is Niger or chad republic , you will be chest beating right now. Over 100 million Nigeria children across 10 states are not in school. That is impossible even in northern Ghana with such average record.. Tell me any similar country with such embarrassing figure and percentage. I maintain not all ranking agree with times. You may check QS for another version of truth. YOU NEED TO THANK A GHANAIAN FOR YOUR ACCESS TO BROADCAST VIA CYBER SPACE USING FIBER OPTIC. ""Thomas mensah "" alone accomplished more in science discovery and exploration than any Nigeria counterpart. Even the west hold him in high esteem. He is the founder of fiber optic.


Ghana is inbuilt with discipline and examination malpractices is very minimal compare to almighty Nigeria. Even with the worst and visible case of exam malpractice in Nigeria. She failed to accomplished Ghana success in wassce performance for over a decade now. You may not be conversant with report. GHANA just discover larger chunk of gas and crude just last month.

The simple truth, west Africa gas pipe line is not a Nigeria property but four ecowas shared responsibility including chevron.


Mr ignorant. Let me top your frustration. Only someone like you who does not understand the realities prevailing in nigeria educational system speak in such manner. If you can apply a little more gumption to the issue, you will realize that the children of the Celebrities or top politician do not really attend nigeria UniversIties. So, get your assessment right and quit making shallow arguments. The core issue is the quality of Education in Nigerian Universities versus Ghanaian Universities. So, deal with that. Maybe, I should remind you that Ghana provided quality Civil Servants to Nigeria, even before her Independence and soon after, to help build her governing infrastructure. If Ghanaian Education were that much poorer than Nigeria's, that could not have happened. Furthermore, even with many of our quality Teachers migrating to help Nigeria educate her Students over the few last decades, Ghana still had many quality Teachers remaining to provide just as good Education as Nigeria expected from the migrating Ghanaian Teachers. Any fallen standards in Ghana could have been due such migration. Yet, it has shown to be all that significant a factor in fallen standards. Surely, the standard of Education in Ghana could have fallen a bit, relative to what it used to be, not in relation to Nigeria's, due to constant revision of its structure by the various Governments and inadequate government funding to support it. But it has not deteriorated to the level of Nigeria level. . The fact a few Nigerian Institutions may have risen in quality past their Ghanaian counterparts, do not necessarily set the average performance of all the Nigerian Varsities above those in Ghana. That assessment has not even been empirically made yet.


I am glad you have been lectured about the rest. Now you understand what make lagos revenue huge and what Ghana had done to Nigeria financially and as well as security cover.

Yes

ok..

is that from global fire power? Any link... Check it again. Then the report i earlier have wasn't accurate.....

UniversIty of education winneba ( Ghana) sacked former pro vice chancellor of lagos Nigeria) over inciteful comment.

General NewsThu, 20 Jun 2019

The University of Education (UEW) has, with immediate effect, sacked its visiting Nigerian lecturer, Prof. Augustine Uzoma Nwagbara over comments he made in a video that has since gone viral.

Prof. Nwagbara was arrested on Tuesday but later granted bail for allegedly inciting the Nigerian community in Ghana to devise strategies that will destroy Ghana’s image internationally.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the University said the comments by the lecturer were inimical to the country’s educational sector, hence his dismissal.

“The University is highly disturbed by the huge embarrassment his unguarded statement has brought to the institution, the Ministry of Education, and indeed, Ghana as a whole. The University after subjecting Prof. Augustine Uzoma Nwagbara to the internal disciplinary process finds him culpable of gross misconduct and has, accordingly dismissed him.”

The University said, although Prof. Nwagbara has been on sabbatical leave from its Department of Applied Linguistics since October 2018, his comments after it set up an internal disciplinary process observed that the utterances were ‘ unsavoury, unethical and damning about the country, its history as well as its educational system. The University totally dissociates itself from the grossly irresponsible comments and condemns it in no uncertain terms.”

“The University apologises to Ghanaians for Prof. Nwagbara disparaging remarks about this country’s educational system and further indicates that the comment was full of factual inaccuracies”, portions of the statement added.

Read the full statement below:

PRESS RELEASE

PROFESSOR AUGUSTINE UZOMA NWAGBARA DISMISSED FROM UEW

1. The University of Education Winneba wishes to inform the general public that it has taken a very serious view of the video circulating on social media, involving Prof. Augustine Uzoma Nwagbara.


2. Augustine Uzoma Nwagbara, a Professor of English Language, has been on sabbatical at the Department of Applied Linguistics since October, 2018.

3. In the said video, Prof. Nwagbara makes several unsavoury, unethical and damning comments about our country, its history as well as its educational system. The University totally dissociates itself from the grossly irresponsible comments and condemns it in no uncertain terms.

4. The University is highly disturbed by the huge embarrassment his unguarded statement has brought to the institution, the Ministry of Education, and, indeed, Ghana as a whole.

5. The University, upon receipt of the video, immediately invoked its internal disciplinary process to fully examine his conduct relative to the content of the video.

7. The University wishes to indicate that it has in the past hosted several scholars on sabbatical leave from various countries, including Nigeria, and same have conducted themselves with high degree of decorum and professionalism during their stay. Prof. Augustine Uzoma Nwagbara’s behaviour is totally deviant and an aberration that runs contrary to those of his predecessors or the others currently at post.


8. The University after subjecting Prof. Augustine Uzoma Nwagbara to internal disciplinary process finds him culpable of gross misconduct and has, accordingly, dismissed him.

9. The University apologises to Ghanaians for Prof. Nwagbara’s disparaging remarks about this country’s educational system and further indicates that the comments were full of factual inaccuracies.

Thank you

GHANA RATED MORE PEACEFUL THAN UK and 118 other nations


Despite its recent security challenges, Ghana has been ranked more peaceful than the United Kingdom.

Ghana has also been ranked more peaceful than 118 other nations including Syria, Sierra Leone, Iraq, Somalia, South Sudan, Yemen, Panama, Laos.

This is according to the 2019 Global Peace Index which ranked a total of 163 nations around the world.

Ghana ranked 44 while the UK ranked 45, with Laos ranking 46, Panama 47.

The favorable ranking for Ghana comes barely two weeks after the UK updated its traveling advise, warning its citizens coming to Ghana of possible terrorism attacks and other crimes.


Interestingly, the UK which sounded more peaceful in its traveling update is rather less peaceful as compared to Ghana and the ranking goes to confirm what a member of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Gabby Otchiri-Darko, earlier pointed out as ‘hypocrisy’ on the party of the United Kingdom.

He said the UK claim to be peaceful even though it had experienced real terrorist attacks which Ghana have not suffered.

In the 2019 Global Peace Index, Iceland ranked as the most peaceful nation in the world.

Placing second was New Zealand, with Portugal taking the third slot.

New Zealand’s second position is despite the terrorist attack on the Christchurch mosque which left about 50 persons dead.


Authors of the Global Peace Index underscored that New Zealand had improved other scores and developed a “resilience” to cope with such disasters.

Austria placed fourth in the ranking, with Denmark coming fifth.

African and Middle Eastern nations generally performed poorly.

According to the report, “Europe remains the most peaceful region in the world and it recorded a slight improvement in peacefulness after several years of deterioration.”

It said “however, despite these improvements, the broader political environment in Europe remains uncertain, and resurgent nationalism and terrorism remain significant threats to peace.”

Could be your neighbors that are not a threat hence why no need to invest in military. Ghana eventually will be like the peaceful Scandinavian countries. What is the constant threat Ghana is facing these days? Never heard of an attack in Ghana.

Not sure Kenya is ranked 4th unless you share your source. We are in the middle of a modernization programme for our army. We never used to fund our military in the bygone years just like Ghana for reasons I dont know.

kidnapping, robbery and threat from the constant terrorism attack in neighbouring country like Burkina Faso, Mali and the rest.


Sorry I mean to say in sub saharan africa. Kenya is actually in number 6 in Africa And morroco slightly follow.

Our educational system is far better than yours. Tell me which other university of good standard that you have asides university of ghana and kwame nkrumah university of science an technology?And university of Ibadan is higher than all your universities including these two in the african universities rankings while UNN, OAU, UNILAG, COVENANT in that order are higher in rankings than any of your other single building, cubicle-sized universities. Our students that go there are the ones who can't compete here. We come to help you guys out in your country with virtually everything in engineering and oil and gas and you still think we aren't more intelligent?We can nullify certificates obtained from your obscure universities here in Nigeria because, asides the corruption, our educational standards are better than yours and this is recognized internationally as is reflected in the university rankings.Your claims of producing oil and gas enough to cater for your 29 million people is entirely false as your government keeps begging the Nigerian government for alternative means of gas supply whenever the west african gas pipeline is down-a pipeline that supplies you guys and other west african neighbours gas from Nigeria. Whatever you make from a combination of whatever resources you have is not even up to what lagos state makes on internal revenue and you come here to brag.Get your facts right before coming here to promote hatred and bigotry!We are no mates and It's high time we put you guys in your place.

who is feeding you nonsense? The stupid prof or you yourself?. Check the wassce performance and record( the regional exams). Ghana has been leading and taking the first, second and third position since 2012. Check access to literacy rate of Ghana and compare it to Nigeria. That is about 80 against 50. The university ranking recently favour Nigeria. As far back as 2017 below. No university in Nigeria ranks ahead of legon and till now, only Ui and covenant is ranked ahead of legon according to Times UK. Not all global ranking agree to that. For the fact that American, European , Indians and Chinese are schooling in Ghana shows how powerful the degree obtainable from the country. Your former chief justice was educated in my high school( Accra academy) and also in Legon. (Walter onnoghen (

West africa gas company is not fully owned by Nigeria, it is owned and managed by four country, Nigeria, benin, togo, Ghana but the headquater is located in Ghana. Chevron also has its own share. It is obligated for Nigeria to pay her role to largest business partner of Nigeria in west africa (Ghana) and Nigeria has no option than to make Ghana an ally if not equatorial guinea is really interested in replacing Nigeria. You may need to learn how international business work.

Lagos economy depends on other 35 states too. Their gross contribution gives lagos the excessive revenue by using her sea port, air port and contributing to her man power. Remove the input of other 35 state and let's see what lagos worth.


You needs to thank ghana for training Nigerians to run nuclear reactors. ! Hosting Nigerian engineers and taught them the basics of reactor core conversion and Nigeria didnt mention. Had it been the other way round they would been all over shouting how they trained you little sisters grin

https://gaecgh.org/ghana-hosts-nigerian-nuclear-engineers-on-reactor-core-conversion/

Small ghana have helped Nigeria avert a nuclear catastrophe. Remember Ghana when she organized, together with the nuclear agency and global powers usa and China to have the highly enriched uranium in Nigeria taken out of the forsaken country before terrorists capture it and make nuclear bombs. Quite nerve wrecking ...

I am here to educate you SHOULD the need arises.

TayserMahri:
Definitely. Ghana leads in everything in West Africa from Universities to Hospitals to Kente. The only thing I havent heard from Ghana is military.

Ghana military is under funded. Just 180 million dollar budgeted for the sector. I think becus the country is peaceful. Goverment actually are not interested in investing so much into the sector. But the constant security challenge now may change the ball game.

Kenya currently rated number four in africa ( 2019 by global power, despite your low budget allocated tobthe military when compare to morroco. How manage?

TayserMahri:
That was 6 yrs before Kenya. We had our first in 2006 and thousands have been born since then.

Ghana health sector is actually among the leading in west africa

Not bad Btw, has Ghana ever had test tube babies?

Yes, first IVF was conducted as far back as late 2000.

what does kwerekwere mean and how is it applicable?. Is it really an insult?

And it u have any misgivings regarding the above , pls don't ask me , ask Forbes or ask Google baba.

Actually I don't have any interest to gallivant across the www looking for info for u , I am sure u can do the hard work instead of me or better still believe what u believe steadfastly with iron clad conviction. Amen to that

I am cool with either and it was nice knowing u electronically , thank u and good bye for ever electronically .

oh ghad, what a waste of effort. You write so much but with silent pain and hatred. You could have just left without saying goodbye. That is brute. The internet will definitely broadcast your message some day back to you unless you stop your connection to cyber space. Your goodbye actually mean you are welcome back again.

Maybe my words are needed to be translated in Hindu for an Hindustan like you.


when seeking factual information, polarity and subjectivity is the least. Rational minded and objectivity count.

When you read this in your next search button, hopefully, it will trigger you .

Lol what r u , a indologist ?

if yes a might poor one at that , if no then better not make foolish claims like the following



It seems u have a compulsive bias towards India , anyways none of my business , ur problem.

According to Western researchers India was the richest country from 1 AD onwards. Later India and China held the top position alternatively for different periods of time till 1700 , when India started its decline ,reaching its lowest position during British rule.

Google why India was termed as the GOLDEN BIRD by the Arabs and the Europeans.

Also Google why the Europeans mounted countless expeditions for the sole purpose of finding a trade route to India

Also Google why the natives of the new world ( Americas ) got named as Indians mistakenly.

Too much ado about Indians then don't u think , nobody seemed so excited about finding China then.

You really appear as indologist not me. At least you mention more about India and you seems to assumed I am not aware....

If western report is your factual point of information and not objective report, i must say I consider your indologist knowledge a disappointment.


You may need to know and learn eonomical history them..ming dynasty alone SHOULD tell you how economical viable was China and how important was she then to the global economy. And you may also need to factor time value of money. If ming empire is to be valued by today MONEY. How much will her Gdp worth?

And let me add more to your convolution of report against world history, There is is dynasty in China called Qing Dynasty . The empire was so rich that she has to paid the British Empire 21 million dollars and that was not an end, and during the series of colonial wars waged by the West like france, Russian Empire, along with Germany, Austria-Hungary, Japan, Italy even the United States to China, the Qing Emperor paid millions of dollar then. India will find this difficult to do.



mistaking and replacing information when not needed or request happens to be your favourite. Why do you live other info unanswered?

nemesis8u:
It useless commenting here but still.....

The Chinese opened up their economy in 1975 and completely by 1978 onwards.

India started in the 90s

Chinese due to their totalitarian system were able to enforce their policies with iron hand and purse it without any stops and interference both internal and external.

India due to its democratic system had many hits and misses due to bad governments getting elected time and again , reform policies could not be continued as expected and this held back the economy. Nothing to say about the internal and external interferences which added to the problems.

One cannot compare 2 countries whose government system is completely different . Does not do justice to either.

Actually NOTHING indicate India was once richer than China. Such view is incorrect to reality, even when both country were empire.

Any type of gov't can be compared. Be it monarchical democracy vs democracy or communism vs democracy. Any gov't can be compared thru the lens of economic history.

GOVERMENT that focus on human capital, i mean placing more interest in manufacturing actually help economy grow faster. That may surely be China key to success ( industrial sector of China is similar to Germany)China has pull millions of her citizens out of poverty faster than many nation in the world.


India inability to invest in major area like africa may be the real reality of the set back. That is Heath and education. This two sectors play a larger role in China development while the manufacturing base speed up the growth.

The Federal University of Technology, Akure has used a bible verse to set question for the students in the Department of Meteorology and Climate Science.

The trending exam question has sparked outrage from students who thinks it is unusual.

https://www.palitomedia.com.ng/2019/06/trending-futa-quoted-bible-verse-to-set.html

The Muslim students atheist, pagan and all other religion affiliation have right to boycott the exams. FUTA is a public uni and not a faith based institute. There is more to examination writting, there is this side of psychological inclinations which student also posses. Not every students will feel welcome about It.

I was expecting this from a self-respecting nation. In fact if you had not done this I would have given up on Ghana. Yesterday I was on the verge of saying no wonder Nigerians disrespect Ghanaians so much. The Dr. should have his backside deported to Nigeria ASAP. Let him whine about Ghana in Nigeria.

Ghana journalist are very radical, they will spread the news until someone somewhere force the gov't to take action. That is how Ghana work.


I actually know he will be arrested. But more of his foolishness and unprecedented action will soon be exposed. He is actually enjoying diplomatic cover now under the umbrella of Nigeria ambassador.


He is now remorseful

CID invite Nigeria professor.


General NewsTue, 18 Jun 2019 CID invites Nigerian Prof over 'inciting' comments (Prof. Austin Nwagbara )





The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has invited for questioning a Professor with the University of Education, Winneba who is calling on his countrymen to act against Ghanaians badmouthing of Nigerians.

Prof. Austin Nwagbara in a viral video said Nigerians should react in the wake of reports of crimes and kidnapping against them by withdrawing their manpower and financial investment to Ghana.

In the video, he said there is a bad image for Africa’s most populous country which they have to reverse through the press by using powerful media organisations available to them.

“There is active online and social media presence…let them come and take documentaries of experiences of Nigerians [in Ghana] and blast it all over the world. In three days Ghana will respond [this was greeted with claps and shouts of endorsements]…you cannot be here and suffering…

“…go to the students and business communities…come to the Embassy and confront the officials with information and air it and within one week I can tell you what is going to happen…the present Ghana government came on the back of Nigerian bashing…” he said.

According to the former visiting Professor to the University of Ghana (UG), Ghanaians have sold Nigerians as criminals and “we have bought it and that is why we are owning up to it.”



“We are bad just like any other community and we are good just like any other community so we cannot take ownership of bad and say it is ours. We are just like them…”

Sources tell Joy News the academic who reported himself in the company of Nigerian High Commissioner to Ghana, Ambassador Micheal Olufemi Abikoye, was subjected to hours of interrogation.

He has been charged with incitement to breach of peace and was released on bail and is expected to be reporting to the police periodically until a final determination of the case as investigators are currently preparing a docket on the matter.

Beyond the many provocative statements, the one-time visiting Professor to the University of Ghana (UG) from 2011/12, also launched into a tirade against universities in the country in general and UG in particular.

According to him, the Nigerian community takes care of 65% of UG’s budget as they pay a minimum of $10,000 per student.

“All the private universities everywhere [in Ghana]…we have this advantage that we supply to them, what are we getting in return, insults?” he said.



Prof. Nwagbara said he won’t pay 10% of the amount for his son or daughter to get a degree in a Ghanaian university.

But in a sharp rebuttal, UG said the claims relating to the University’s sources of income, students fees and the likes, are incorrect.

According to the Director of Public Affairs, Stella Amoah, his claims “do not in any way represent the true facts and figures of the University’s income and state of affairs.”

The University of Ghana has dissociated itself from what it describes as “mischievous” claims intended to mislead the public and harm University’s reputation.

It said the public should treat the claims with the contempt it deserves.

NIGERIA professor arrested charged with breach of peace and incitement. .


Nigerian Professor, Austin Nwagbara has been arrested according to MyNewsGh.com sources at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service.

He has been charged with incitement to breach of peace following the contents of a leaked tape in which he was captured making damming remarks about Ghana’s educational sector and alleged harsh treatment meted out to Nigerian resident in Ghana.

According to our sources, he reported himself in the company of Nigerian High Commission in Ghana, Ambassador Micheal Olufemi Abikoye to the Police and was subjected to hours of interrogation.

Professor Austin Nwagbara will be released on bail and is expected to be reporting to the police periodically until a final determination of the case as investigators are currently preparing a docket on the matter.

MyNewsGh.com spotted a remorseful English Professor and former Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University Of Lagos (UNILAG) at the CID headquarters a while ago as his statement was being taken.

It would be recalled that a video went viral in which he was heard urging his colleagues to employ the media from Nigeria to tear Ghana up.

He is quoted as having said, “The Nigerian community here is bad image for Nigerian we can take it back through the press, we can reverse. We have powerful media stations, channels broadcast all over world. Emm, well AIT has a problem now, NTA does many others, and there is online, active online social media they plot in Nigeria.

Let them come look at what we have said here today. Let them come here and run documentaries of the experiences on Nigerians and blast it all over the world. In three days Ghana will respond [clapping at the background]. I have been a media person, I have been a media person.



You cannot be here and suffering. Let the leaders get our media guys come here and cover what has been happening. Go to the student community go to the business community go to everywhere, come to the embassy. Go and confront the officials with the information and within one week, I can tell you part of what is happening. I’m sorry to say it but this is within us.

The present government in Ghana came on the grounds of Nigerian bashing. I have listened to things some of their top leaders have said all over the world in big major places. We did not take it back sir. If we take back they will sit up. So media strategy. One; Use their own media but you know everything I have been a press man there is no absolute truth in the media. The truth is even history is truth as presented. Let us use our own media and get back to them.

Let us see live cases, let our media with this stories we want to go to their prisons to see Nigerians of course they will turn you back, we broadcast it you do by the time you are through run series of documentaries on Nigerian relations of Nigerians”

Interesting........ let's how it will end.

chrisagyei:
Vaxx my brother,I will advise you to thread cautiously with him taking into condition the number of foreigners tryna acquire the Ghana card and passport for their unknown actions and reasons.From his discussions,he's more of a Nigerian than a Ghanaian so I will advise him to stick to his Nigerian citizenship and identification cos he has lived almost all his live and conversant with Nigeria and through the Nigerian system.He can do everything legally as a Nigerian in Ghana with the right requisites documents to make his stay very comfortable just like a Ghanaian.At first when I got to this forum,I wanted to assist people like them and all Nigerians willing to assimilate calmly into Ghana buh what I have read,the backlash,Ghana hatred,Anti Ghana comments and posts,recent kidnappings and arising issues of Nigerians in Ghana,I have decided to throw in the towel.Am done with Nigerians.

sometimes the bad egg already blocked chances for the good ones . Which seems very bad.

theenchanter:
dont be rude to people that didn't call for it.

people will consciously or unconsciously try to change any wrong narrative about them. Don't be sour about it.

Everything here shouldn't be about fight.

our discussion was actually healthy in the begining not until he begin to throw tantrum like you"" African are uneducated "" ""You know nothing"" this look militaristic to me. And i have to respond in kind. Just like how i make sure I took a stand against one white dude who came to a night club video recording the stripper. It is not done anywhere.

I am actually mad to intimadators......

forgiveness:
Please, take note. He is a Ghanaian.

Are you intimidated by the India man.... i am Africa here to be precise when talking with a citizens of the world largest racist citizens (india).

kikuyu1:
