“Following two decades of rule under Jerry Rawlings, Ghana emerged as one of Africa’s most liberal and vibrant democracies, reclaiming its position of political leadership on the continent.”

The 31st December Revolution and JJ’s legacy lives on.

Tyrone was denied admission by Achimota School because of his Rasta, family sued the school, won and the school was forced to admit him.
Attorney general is still in court trying to get him removed as a student of the school.

Achimota School denied him representation on the school main science and maths team and was placed on the reserved team(back up team)

Tyrone took his WASSCE as a second year student and came out as Achimota School best overall performing student in the exams .
He wrote SAT in his second year of high school and came out in the 99th percentile, one of the best overall performer.

Tyrone just won Gold in the American Mathematics Olympiad, bearing 150,000 competitors globally.

Achimota will be so ashamed of theirself now . Including the attorney general

Corn247:
Very lame comeback, how can he claim he is from offa Just because his step Mom is from offa, that's too far na. The man himself said he is from offa, not just him even the former president of Benin said he is from ogun State

You guys reason from your anus. Where does he said he is from offa? Even obama didn't say is from Kenya .

Some people are trained extremely by their step parent and feel connected with them. The former president is one . His biography can be read online

FreeStuffsNG:
You are right. He never declared that he is a Nigerian. He declared openly in Offa in Yoruba that he is at home. It's not even politically sound for him to say he is a Nigerian as a sitting Ghanaian President. He can only openly declare his root just like Obama did in Kenya. If he didn't make that declaration, most of us don't even know and it's interesting that he flew straight from Abuja to Offa with full paraphernalia of a sitting Ghanaian President. That's a big statement.

Since he left office, he has been involved in community events and activities in Offa

He is biologically a Ghanaian. He has a stepmother who is a nigerian yes but not his own direct parent . this isn't the case of Obama.

If he said he is at home , then the statement is mere meterphorical to honor her step mother I guess.

FreeStuffsNG:
No.

If the Yoruba in Nigeria has not excelled, this celebrated homecomings will not have been possible. The Oba of Benin who is Yoruba and a descendant of Oranmiyan, a Yoruba prince, few weeks ago, came to Yorubaland to receive tutorials on Yoruba history because, according to him, he wanted to learn at first hand, how the Randle Yoruba Cultural Centre operates. Same thing was why the Yoruba built Orun Oba Ado in Ile Ife too.

The Yoruba conceived and built that centre. Same thing with our universities etc. Our successes keep helping to pull them back home, not by force. These strategies are carefully planned and executed to help bring back our talents back home.

We can do better no doubt but the Yoruba are doing great.

If you go through how the Yoruba organized themselves after the annulment of June 12 and got back the Presidency, you will appreciate how truly sophisticated the Yoruba are.

Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama, as a sitting President , went to Offa in Kwara state and declared that he is home and spoke in Yoruba. He identified himself as Yoruba but couldn't be as audacious as Stoneboy to declare he is a Nigerian. Which other tribe will have such clout. None.

former president mahama is never a nigerian, he is a northern Ghanaian ( damango) his father is even an MP in the fourth republic in Ghana. The mother too is also from the north .


The father actually married a nigerian woman Anyway ,not mahama mother . Therefore it makes sense to say mahama has Nigerian siblings as relation.

abdeefggh:
Ewe and Ga people which is the largest tribe in Ghana, Togo and Benin were actually part of Oyo, they even teach them in their schools that they are from Ile Ife.

Most of the people staying in gulf of Guinea identify as yoruba.
From Nigeria to foura Bay in Sierra Leon

No, Ashanti ( part of the akans) this tribe are the largest tribe in Ghana . Ewe are likely related with the fon in Benin republic ( the fon and Yoruba share historical relationship) and the GA are Yoruba by history.

I feel like God lives in 🇬🇭Ghana. It is the only place i find actual genuine peace. When you go to Labadi Beach in Ghana and see the view that separates the water from the sky, I feel like God lives there — Burnaboy 🇳🇬

What is the basis for this fastest growing economy in the world? I'm yet to find out.

uranium bro

I once told you guys in this page that there is not going to be any war in Niger. Ecowas is fighting no war except by mouth.


Anyway , thanks to the crisis, Niger republic has the fastest growing economy in the world . A big surprise to France .

GeneralDae:
Because there is usually little return of profit or investment.

The investors are not sure if the new Arts would succeed and how to recoup their investments except in the case of exceptionally rich firms or Billionares who can take the risk.

A long time ago in Nigeria, Glo and Billionare Adenuga for example did a lot for Nigerian entertainment while at its nascent stage then with very little profit, but today there are relatively more players in the sector especially development finance Banks like the Bank of Industry (BOI) and others.

Not exactly, At first , Ghana can't compete with Nigeria based on number of consumer . If we have united state of africa, Nigeria will rather be los Angeles or New York . So imagine such a state competing with Miami .

I remember mutil choice owned by South Africa , nearly more than half of the TV station on it are owned by nigerians . In sense, population is a strength in Nigeria . We are only 30 million here .unless we have a kind of Hong Kong / Switzerland economy even at that, I don't think we can really put a pressure on Nigeria based on the population . Anyway our business men had try but they can try better. We should be among the top four nation in africa whose music is highly consumed, though we have few international stars.


I highly believe Nigeria should even be doing better if she has a successful economy .

GeneralDae:
Nasboi's original passion was music but he found himself in comedy. He said so himself, so it's not like he just tried music for the first time.

By the way, why does it seem like Afua is not trending outside Ghana as she should?

nasboi will go far I bet you . He knows his onions well enough.



Ghanaian buisness men are not really ready to invest into music. Most of the music on hit here are mostly self financed.

When I listen to good music , I concur.

This nasboi ( comedian) even sound better than many known Nigeria musician . I just dey fell the Track on repeated mood on my head .

Both Ghana and Nigeria may likely not get to quarter finals. I don't know why they are wasting their time. Ghana especially may go home again in the first round.

At least we have started poorly . Camping in South Africa for a match that is holding in nearby west africa is a complete misused of tax payer money.

Ahh for Afcon that is in Ivory Coast where the weather is similar to Ghana? Why do the camping in South Africa where the weather is cold and it's snowing 🌨 oo, chaley who on earth took this clueless decision 🤔?
Ahhh Ghana. Money go bad again

These guys lie like they breath. Please tell me I'm not the only one who finds this highly disturbing.

All what I wrote there can be read on popularised goggle

Tell that to the wind.

You are currently on serious light rationing .keep that to your sorry heart .

A dollar is a about 156 shillings in the normal market . Black market will obviously be more than that . Your only trusted source of dollar earning is even shrinking. The dollar remittance by Kenyans outside

Mkenya2019:
Kenya KES has lost 25% this year - not worst.
They have been 3 blackouts in 3 nights in a year lasting less than 10hrs.
The last one on sunday night - last 4hrs in my place.
Kenya has sub-sahara most reliable electricity.

Kenya shillings is falling like Nigeria naira . Couple with the nationwide light off.

It seems Nigeria and Kenya are lacing the same shoes.

Honestly, imf is really in favor of Ghana. For the first time ever since about four years. I save my money In cedis for five month without really loosing the value . I am even afraid to even buy dollar .

Ivory coast will be placing black stars and super eagles boys in the same hotel in the next african cup.

Check the hotel here

another angle to the conversation.....that is why I even told him that 10 dollars is 13,000 plus naira and it is a very large some of money in Nigeria

13 k naira should be a good chunk of money in Nigeria but I don't think it is the case..

There's nothing in Germany like that

if you know what goes into architecture and building engineering , you will never compare this with cologne cathedral

GeneralDae:
Have you been to Germany or do you stay there? Germany is developed all round no doubt, but there are some kind of complex, lovely bridges and buildings I see on videos of China that I am yet to see physically in Germany.

I know Germany very well since I have shuttled between Germany and Nigeria for about a decade now and visited every major city in Germany. Germany is my second home.

Also, Chinese Companies dominate Germany as well but the German companies are the most dominant of course and top notch.

The only thing china has over Germany is her population .if you are talking about building , I don't think there is anything in china that is modern or old that is as beautiful and well structured with artificial layout like cologne cathedral. Infact cologne cathedral might be the best single building in the entire world . It is just a master piece when the world is not open as this.

Nevertheless , every part of Germany city is developed . When it comes to sophisticated project , it is either Germany or none.

GeneralDae:
They have a point. Germany has development spread across every inch of the entire country. I don't know if that's the case with China given how big China is both in population and landmass.

But in terms of finesse, creativity, or complexity of infrastructure, no European country comes close to China.

the fact is , the most sophisscated and developed part of china is not in anyway better than the most developed part of Germany while the less consider developed part of Germany has certainly all the kind of developed china modern city. .

On your second stance , Chinese people see owing German product as a bragging right Eg. My tv is made in germany is a bragging right in China.

German produce for high end user hence their known quality while china industrialization is based on mass production . Quality is a little bit of no issue there

samorobo:
Lol compare Chinese cities with middle Easter cities. The entire western country has nothing on Chinese cities

You people just like hot joke

The biggest problem Nigeria is facing now is the naira crunch .


The naira is crunching downward heavily

GeneralDae:
The bolded makes no sense. Let's assume out of Nigeria's 200 million population, there are 150 million poor citizens (both poor and extremely poor), that would still put the number of citizens who are not poor or extremely poor at 50 million and that is already bigger than the population of Ghana.

it is about the size of middle class. Not poor / not rich . In a square circle .

This should tell you the report only focus on middle income earner

Just40:
Combine all of Europe and they'll still be less developed than China
You have not been to China, I've been and been to Germany as well.....nothing in Germany wow and Impressed me as much as China .....

The only thing Germany had over China was technology and Cars but even that, the Chinese I've taken over.

Gone were the days I used to laugh at Chinese cars but not anymore...they've made so much improvement that make German cars look like toys.
The Chinese are world leaders in EV and slowly going to put German brands under because of their inability to compete.

I have told you if it is about number, then china already have it .

Chinese will even pay a premium on german goods/ product than to have their own product.

The scientific output spell it , Germany is more competitive than China despite the later having the absolute numbers .

Just40:
The Chinese build some of the best bridges...The kind of bridges I've seen across China can hardly be found anywhere in Europe.
Germany is not as developed as china in anything infrastructure.

That is a big lie bro. I welcome the latest infrastructure springing up in china but this are joke comparing to sophisscated project you will find in Germany. Even black forest in Germany which is termed less developed will compared handsomely with shanghai

GeneralDae:
The list doesn't even make sense. It's impossible as it doesn't correspond with anything else we know. For example: Everything about the top 5 middleclass and the rich in Africa has always been in this order in terms of numbers:

SA
Egypt
Nigeria
Morocco
Kenya

So if that is the case, then it's impossible that Ghana would have the second highest middleclass number in Africa.

Just commonsense.

Tell them to give you the original WorldBank report.

You guys should be a bit smarter than this , Nigeria has this absolute poor people even more than china with 1.2 billion people. That is how crazy the figure is.

And tthe report only target sub saharan africa . Egypt , morocco will prefer to classify theirself as an arab country rather than africa. Even in the last world cup , morocco claim they are representing arab world

And there is no way the rest of all other africa country mentioned up there can have more middle class than Ghana judging by their number of poor citizens . World bank report has details . Just check .

Just40:
It's actually true .....China is more developed than any western country I know.

China is the king of bridges ...the number of bridges I cross between Hong Kong, Shenzhen Shanghai is crazy

By absolute number, sure , china should be leading . It is about size .but we are taking about which one is better and per excellence , china doesn't near Germany. Germany is more developed than china on any metrics except by size . Infact the gap isn't close . Talk about japan bro

cadmanspize:
It's not a matter "of if & only if" cause i'm sure that china is far ahead of austrialia & germany in development.

I also have a question for you. Is rwanda more developed than nigeria?

You can't be sure of what you don't know . Germany's enjoy more productivity at a higher level of advance technology than china . Industrial and vocational education in germany is more superior to China . Their scientific output is a testament despite their size.


Though your question is irrelevant, no africa country is consider developed . By world bank standard . They are both a developing country . Perhaps you may need to be specific
