Then UG too is only by Reuters.

The fact that a reputable ranking ranked U.I higher shows UG is not greater than U.I as you want people to believe.

in a nutshell, University of Ghana is not absolutely ranked higher than U.I!

what are you saying? both reuters and QS are reputable ranking body.

And every institution had their own pattern of measurement. The American ranking body Qs and its British counterpart says ( UG) is ahead of any west African uni. i didn't says so.


let people make their own decision base on these data.

tylann:
Yes this can well in kenya
Especially in northern kenya

sure it can be replicated. i see this idea more befitting and more realistic than building one smart city that Nigeria is building.

tylann:
That is what every African country should be doing
Solar power is cheap compared to others
Sources

yes, The sun light is entirely free. we need more of this development

tylann:
I like this
Especially when countries invest in renewable and green energy
Ghana has the largest solar power plant in africa
Kenya has the largest wind power farm in africa

we have a lot of sun light, therefore it is logical we made used of it.

Basic123:
Point of correction!


U.I is presently the best in West Africa.

only by Times higer education. the Qs and Reuters still rank UniversIty of Ghana ahead of any west African uni

Ghana build the largest solar power in Africa

The nzema project is the biggest photovoltaic (PV) and largest solar energy plant in Africa, the Nzema project will be able to provide electricity to more than 100,000 homes.This 155-megawatt plant will increase Ghana's electricity generating capacity by 6 percent

mtisTheQubit:
vaxx seriously...

i can see them floating. it is that a kind of magic. and what is spacial about them.

mtisTheQubit:

Good in stuff....haaaas. who are the maasai?

tylann:
The d*ck

i agree with you a hundred percent.

In kenya we have slum tourism

Tanzanian government once refused food aid
While tanazanians on the ground were experiencing food shortages

The white are crazy aet of people. do you know most of this whites ladies dates the ghetto boys whenever they came for a visit. you see them hanging out with an ukept ghetto boy smoking weed and smelling bad. And you can't even imagine what they really see in them.

That is intentional wocjdeness.

NairobiWalker:
Most top musicians grow in the ghetto. This is because for many young people in the ghetto, the only legal and practical way out of poverty is through music and sports. It is stupid to try and force people to believe otherwise.

i also think due to various experience of their life style , coming up as a musician is less difficult , Most of their lifre experience are express in their lyrics. The only problem i have with them is their thug life. when some of them become successful, they move out of the ghetto but the ghetto don't move out of them.

NairobiWalker:
The Tanzanian Motto is don't wash dirty linen outside. One musician was arrested for shooting a video in the slum. Their president is a dictator like that.

That is pathetic.

The ghetto in Ghana arguably produce most of the hit track in the country. it is a small jamaica on its own.

XhosaNostra:
There's a wild side to South Africa. I don't think we're short-stocked on wood. We're multi-faceted.

i am sure you know fully well that this deforestation is not south africa problem. others africsn state have it as well. i just think there should be a need to protect nature, that is all we have.

XhosaNostra:
Whatever we're doing now is obviously working for us. West Africa is West Africa because of rain forests or whatever. South Africa is not West Africa. We gotta stay true to our own identity & not try to emulate somebody else.

i am coming from the economical background of how deforestation can be eliminated Therefore tap into the resources back home instead of relying on imported material such as woods, that can be locally outsourced . i just think it will save a lot of rands

XhosaNostra:
Yeah, but there're different sides to Soweto, but for the most part, it's a nice, vibrant place.

The many faces of Soweto.

what about the idea of growing tropical rain forest in south africa like what is obtainable in west africa. how possible is that? most of the areas look more or less like safari park

theenchanter:
just keep SHUT! don't try to talk a lot on what what u have little idea about, it makes u sound very daft.

Dont force urself to sound smart, it makes someone look abysmally dumb, rvp is a living example.

.This is crazy.....visit innewi to have a first hand information about it. stop celebrating mediocrity.

ednited:
Yes, in fact it is in the top 5 highest capital in the world. It is filled with mountain too

i will pay a visit some day. and probably come back with my Ethiopian woman. LOL

ednited:
WOW! Leave alone Entoto (the biggest mountain in Addis). . .The city Addis Ababa it self is 2,355m above sea level.

so addis Ababa is on the hill.

Hey vaax, i am bout to apply for msc in molecular biology, I'm hearing stuff dat KWAME NKRUMAH UST is better than uni ghana when it comes to sciences. Any suggestions... Anybody?

first of all, i congratulate you for choosing Ghana as your next destination for your education program. Both legon and knust are a better choice and there is no regret for choosing any of them. you are about to begin an uninterrupted academic calender and also become a member of existing network of international students.

Legon is more humanity focus while knust is a pure science related as the name suggest. knust is arguably the right option as the name of your intended decipline suggest. best of luck bro. religion section became a little boring for me.

Achimota mall. Accra

Accra. some people call it coco beach

tylann:
That is where your thug millionaires live

don't mind the dude, only the estate built for oil worker's are developed (i.e) the plaxe where the expatriate leave. The main village in itself is not developed.

why should any country be pay for US debt ?

holding dollar reserves only props up the dollar


reason why countries are gradually moving their reserves from dollar to gold.

GHANA forieng reserve is about getting more bigger

Just30:
hehehe
has Ghana told you it cant pay it debt ?
creditors would have run away from Ghana bonds if they realised that yet each bond is over subscribe

you dont know international finance
leave that arguement to those with knowledge on the matter.

which of the projects are running at a loss?
care to list?

Ghana GAS has finished repaying it loans

Ghana's port was not even financed by China
for China to take it over

i think he is talking about kenya. Ghana foreign reserve just increase of recent.

68816419:
Hahahah, why would a sane person use USA as a comparison, [b]knowing fully well that global currency is dominated in $ [/b]and the level of development and industrialization means most of these debt could be service with ease.can same be said to Ghana or Kenya ?

i see you as one of the most briilant dude on this thread so don't dissapoint me. global currency been dominated in dollars does not mean usa will go there and print out dollars to pay up the debt. The result is hyperinflation,. with over 16 trillion new US dollars in international hands and over a trillion of that in China alone-, it will simply cause -a dramatic increase in national income everywhere except the US.. That income spike would cause aggregate demand for goods purchasable in USD to soar. Merchants would naturally respond by increasing the price of their goods, restabilizing the real value of the dollar.

The consequences of such a series of events would be catastrophic.


And as to servicing the debt, Ghana presently has a good economic mechanism that can handle that. the forieng reserve has even swell over time.

How can small countries with no economic viability, tiny IGR, little industries, little resources have such high debts ?
Ghana’s $18 billion external debt could later affect its macroeconomic stability

(Ecofin Agency) - At end November 2018, Ghana’s external debt was $18 billion, figures recently published by the central bank reveal. Even though the debt-to-GDP ratio has slightly decreased to 28.9% against 29.3% at the end of 2017, there are worrying indicators.

Despite a rise of the trade balance to $1.7 billion in December 2018, the country’s external debt was 10 times higher than net exports. At the same time, the country’s external position worsened slightly.

The gross international reserves at end December 2018 was $7 billion and it could just cover 3.7 months of imports (despite the support of the trade balance by the oil sector that does not create many jobs or inclusive direct growth) while in December 2017, it was $7.5 billion for 4.3 months of imports.

Gold and cocoa, that are the traditional economic sectors and employ the most, generated less foreign currency with their respective contribution to exports valued at $5.4 billion and $2 billion respectively against $5.7 billion and $2.6 billion at end of 2017. During the period under review, the net capital account was divided by two going from $3 billion to $1.5 billion.

The government wants to substantially reduce its debt by 2021 but, for the time being, it has to continue to solicit the international market and it already announced the possibility of a $3 billion issuance. Its last issuance was in May 2018 and, it was oversubscribed by four times.


Nigeria’s external debt rises by $11.77bn in three years


Kenya’s public debt is rising to dangerous levels

Kenya is weighed down by swelling public debt and faces the possibility of a debt crisis (where the government can’t repay what it owes).

Kenya’s current public debt stands at approximately 4.884 trillion Kenyan shillings (USD$49 billion) or 56.4% of the country’s gross domestic product.. This is up from 42.8% in 2008. In other words, the country owes more than half the value of its economic output (GDP).

The International Monetary Fund recommends that ratios of public debt to GDP should not be higher than 40% for developing countries.

To be fair, this level of debt is comparable to that of other developing economies. For example, South Africa’s ratio of public debt to GDP was 53.1% in 2017 (2008: 27.8%). Nigeria’s was 21.3% in 2017 (2008: 7.3%). Brazil, India and China all have ratios over 40%. However, the economies of these countries are several times larger than Kenya’s.

Policy analysts are worried about the country’s public debt compared with its national income. Kenya has a population of 51 million, implying that every Kenyan owes about USD$962 – and produces USD$1169 a year. In comparison, each South African owes about USD$1434 and produces USD$12,295.

This is not a sound analysis.

check what is the debt to GDP ratio of USA. By the standards other developing and emerging economies are judged, the US economy should be under IMF conditionalities because their debt to GDP ratio is way way way way way over the threshold of debt sustainability and it is not reducing, it is rising and rising. Indeed it is the largest on the planet, not even close.

So if Ghana can sustain the borrowing base by its capitals expenditure, i don't see it as anything to be worry about.

rvp2018:
Yes Ghana mobile money & commerce is on steroids. Nigeria entrenched federal gov screwed it up by denying telcoms the license to do it and allowing banks to drive it. Banks that already make enough money from forex arbitrage to even care to innovate. I mean those Nigerian banks buy dollars from CBN at 305 - and sells it to Nigerians at 365 - or even black market for 400 - crazy returns. And that is just one income stream. Why would Nigerian banks innovate. They simply killed mobile money in Nigeria.

While, This on its own will have provide a lot of informal and formal jobs in nigeria. Nigeria ineffective policy kills the buisness. banks are even collapsing with their lots of savings with central banks.

in Ghana now, there is huge competition between telecoms industry and the banking sector. each fighting for their own share of the market. in all honesty, it has been healthy for the economy.
