u see, they're many baseless comparisons here that's not even worth my last penny.
when it comes to basic amenities, a smaller country has an edge over the larger ones.
when it comes to infrastructural development, a larger country has an edge over smaller ones.
when it comes to security, a smaller country has an edge over a larger one.
when it comes to human development, a smaller country has an edge over larger ones.
when it comes to economical matters, a larger country has an edge over smaller ones.
it goes on and on...........

now, do u know that if Kenya( 3rd world country ) compares with the almighty USA in terms of crime rate, Kenya will rank better?
if that same Kenya compares with Djibouti or any other smaller country in term of that same crime...Djibouti will rank better.

same goes with Nigeria and so many 3rd world countries..........

okay, look at the HDI for example....
* Nigeria at 152nd(low hdi)
* Kenya at 146st (medium hdi)
* Ghana at 139th(medium hdi)
do u know that Kenya still fare better in terms of development than Ghana?
everything's just insane, man........lets just be proud to be Africans and forget about trash.

--- hope I'm not stepping on our Ghanaian friends toe.

growth yes. development no.

@VAXX......... I have something to discuss with u on educational matters in west Africa. do u mind?

At Exactly 10:07 a.m. on Saturday, the Federal University of Technology, Akure, FUTA, made history when the SpaceX Falcon9 Rocket launched Birds 1 satellites, comprising 5 CubeSats belonging to Japan, Ghana, Mongolia, Nigeria and Bangladesh, into Space from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida, USA.
The Nigerian CubeSat, code name NigeriaEdusat-1, is designed, built and owned by FUTA in collaboration with the National Space Research and Development Agency, NASRDA, Abuja, Nigeria, and Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan. Ibukun Adebolu of FUTA’s Department of Mechanical Engineering is the representative of Nigeria on the project. The initial launch scheduled for Thursday June 1 was aborted due to adverse weather condition.
The satellite is expected to dock at the International Space Station, ISS, on June 5 at 10:30 a.m. Nigerian time. It is the first ever University satellite to be launched in Nigeria. From the International Space Station, the satellites will be deployed into lower orbit during the last week of June 2017.
The major objective of Nigeria Edusat-1 is capacity building, i.e. domesticating the satellite technology in a Nigerian university, FUTA, and making the technology a common business among staff and students of the university in Nigeria for the purpose of research, resources and environmental management and sustainable socio-economic development of the nation. The satellite technology development in the long run shall have spillover effects on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education that is an essential tool for a country industrial development.
Mr. Adebolu, who is involved in the Structure Configuration Design, BIRDS Project gives details of his role on the project, “My role in the Birds’ Project is Structure Design. Drawing on my background in Mechanical Engineering, I am saddled with the task of ensuring that our satellites have sufficient strength and rigidity to survive the rigorous launch and space environments. In order to achieve this, I have to ensure that all payload and Bus System are properly accommodated within the 10-cubic centimeter structure. I find this very challenging, because it involves a lot of optimisation and trade-offs. In the future, I hope to work more on other aspects of satellite design.”
The Vice Chancellor, Joseph Fuwape, said with the successful launch, FUTA has shown the capabilities of Nigerian scientists and would build on the success to concretize its leading position in cutting edge researches and scientific breakthroughs.

this is a diffrent project entirely. Ghanastat1 is not cube stat.

Lol, you are wrong. Actually, 844 Billion Naira is not 140 Billion Dollars but 2.7 Billion Dollars.

permit me for the maginal error. am only using ruff estimation. you are also wrong with your internet estimation. You should have use bank rate.

You just said the biggest project in Nigeria was 3rd mainland bridge. Don't you think before you type?

it is either you failed to use the working part of your falculty or it is faulty. what am doing is comparism .the fourt mainland bridge as an example of what it might cost the govt to implement it. The third mainland bride is the still the most largest project ever embark by the federal govt.

freshest4live:
I don't get you, Certenary city Abuja would be a whole new city, hosting more than 400 thousand people and many more visitors, and would cost about 18 Billion Dollars.

lol. the proposed fourt mainlandbrige is estimated to cost the federal govt a price of 844 billion naira which is close to 140 billion dollar or more Imagine the price and worth of the third mainland bridge if it shouild be this time around.

freshest4live:
The largest project in Nigeria on every scale is not Eko Atlantic but Centenary city Abuja, just that Eco Atlantic is more popular probably because Lagos is the commercial capital.

NO. third mainland bridge is the most lagest project ever embark by nigeria govt. By all measurement and standard. Nigeria govt can not afford such a project for now and till the next 8 years of this present administration

I opened this new moniker just to lay my frustrations as typical Nigeria youth who is tired of the whole system.

when I was in secondary school I was among the best in my class,is either I came first, second or third I never had any position below them.
my parents were so happy and proud of me and vow to train me up to University education even if it will cost them starving just make sure I attend University because they were poor.
After hearing this from them I became so happy and elevated (remember those feelings then that u will go to University, those feelings no be here) at that time I don't think about anything else except University, jamb,post utme , life in campus and any other thing relating to University.
I wrote my first jamb in 2009, scored above 260, then score relatevely high post utme but I was denied admission in one of the federal University in Nigeria not because I didn't meet the cut off mark but because I don't have money to runs the admission,I lost the admission that year and became so frustrated and dejected.
let Make it short, i have been writing jamb from 2009 till lastly in 2013 when I got admission to study marketing in one the state University in South East.
I,m in my final year now studying marketing just few months for me to graduate.
You may be wondering while i,m writing this,now let me tell you.
I,m writing this first because ......
1 I,m frustrated right now because after graduation I will start roaming the streets looking for job.
2 Had it been I use those time I spent in writing jamb and do business by now I would have been s millionaire by now.
3 Had it been my parents advice me to learn trade by now I would have been my own oga controlling millions.
4 I have to start afresh and enter the streets for hustling because there is no jobs out there, so why the certificate when I can read and write with secondary education.

Then, why did I spent all the years looking for certificate that I may not use tomorrow because streets pays more than salary.
I remember how I hustle during holidays to meet up the needs in school thinking after graduation good jobs are there waiting for me.
Should I said I wasted my time acquiring University education or what, somebody should answer me.
I think I regret Ever going to University.

The reality is there are more gradute than the job. but should we stop educating ourselves becuse there is no job after graduation. absolutely NO.the result will be catastrophy. imagine a nation without the required academic knowledge. This kind of nation are label banana republic.


But wait a moment. you are about to graduate. just one year ahead of you. you have spend almost 6 semester in colledge yet you still belive you cant create job for yourself if the society you find yourself fail to do so. A degree is not a requirement to become job seeker. It is meant to become a job creator. If you have not learn by now what you can do as alternative to seek for job. I will call your time in colledge a serious waste of time.

Well the sun out there can still dry the wet cloth. get yourself a vocational training during your semester break. they are more outside there. choose the one that is flexible and productive. 2 use the critical thinking method you have learn in the uni to argue or defend in your advantage. BECOME AN ENTREPRENUR. Work hard on your thesis. It may earn you your first cash. Write to be publish do not just write to pass

OK now I want to take a break. I've spent too much time here today.

And still building satellites.

That is the first and only satellite in Ghana. Students and even lecturers with no knowledge don't build satellites. You must depend on someone with the knowledge first.

this is the school， it is not about giant structure it is about productivity. this is the whole school that produce the satelite

sure education is all about learning. either from the one who do it first or not.and it does not matter if is the first project or not. what matter now is ghana now is ready to launch satelite into space and this is done by student not expert.


let me even tell you that school is not up to futa in size or population. it is a private school.

iblawi:
You need education.


According to him, the latest satellite to be launched is another feat achieved by the Nigerian engineers. Mohammed said: “Nigeria, along with other four countries – Japan, Ghana, Bangladesh and Nepal – in the last one year, came together to work in a constellation to build about five nanosatellites.

You can now see you are a pest to Nigeria. Instead of you to appreciate your source of knowledge you are here bragging.

Do you think Ghana know anything about satellites?

This is our sixth satellite

what are you saying？ i posted a latest development that has not been achieved by any university student in sub saharan afican. apart from ghana university（ANU）According to who？ do you know what nano mean in english？ that satelite isnt nano. It will be labell ghanastat 1. And it is fully student project

You are a terrorist

lol. you will b good in detective job. the guy really,sound terrifying

That is a university project here in Nigeria.

You failed to tell us that nigeria University FUTA launched the same nanosatellite too.

thank jah you said nano satelite.we are not talking about cube stat. we are talking about full blown satelite here.

Ghana to launch is own satelite. This project is proudly ghanian made. NO foreign attached. A project by a university student

first university satelite in sub saharan africa





All Nation University’s giant steps towards putting Ghana in the ‘League of Nations’ exploring space technology will attract global attention on Saturday as the country’s first satellite, GhanaSat 1, developed by Ghanaian students is set to be launched into space.

The satellite will first be launched to the International Space Station by Space X CRS-11 Cargo Mission and later deployed by a Japanese astronaut aboard the International Space Station.The satellite was handed over to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).This was after the satellite had gone through a rigorous safety review and flight fittest in February this year.JAXA took delivery of the Cubesat, dubbed Ghanasat-1, on February 9, 2017 and handed it over to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in Florida, USA on February 13.The deployment of GhanaSat1 will be watched live at JAXA Tsukuba Space Centre in Japan by top government officials and ministers.The successful launch of the Cubesat, which weighs 1,000 grams, is expected to make the dream of Ghana becoming a space-faring nation a reality and also boost the country’s capacity to take advantage of space science technology

in the future.Images of the event will be beamed live at the ANU campus in Koforidua.Ghanasat1 missionThe Cubesat, described as the first university satellite in sub-Saharan Africa, has low and high resolution cameras on board to take pictures of our homeland and provide data that can be used to monitor the coastal areas of Ghana.It also has Digi-Singer SNG mission from which the national anthem and other independence songs can be broadcast from space, as well as collect requested songs fromthe ground and send to the satellite to broadcast in space.It is an initiative aimed at stimulating interest inScience, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education in high schools and tertiary institutions.It will also embark on a scientific mission to investigate the radiation effects on commercial-off-the-shelf microprocessors. This means it will measure the single event latch-up occurrence that degrades electronic system on board satellites due to the harsh space environment and analyse this data to contribute to scientific research.Brains behind projectThe two-year project, made possible through collaboration between the ANUC and the Kyutech Institute of Technology (Kyutech) in Japan, began in October 2015, was completed in December 2016.

The Oyo State Government is to generate 1,000 mega watts from wastes following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding(MoU) with some power-generating firms.

The News Agency of Nigeria(NAN) reports that the state government on Wednesday in Ibadan signed an MoU with Siemens International, MRF1 and West African Energy on conversion of waste to energy.

Gov. Abiola Ajimobi said that the project would promote industrialisation and generate employment opportunities.

He said that the project was anchored on his administration’s developmental tripod of restoration, transformation and repositioning.

Ajimobi stated that the objective of the present effort was to uplift the state from its civil service status to an industrialised one.

“As part of our development agenda of restoration, transformation and repositioning, we have come up with an agreement with these power-generating firms which had culminated into today’s signing of MOU.

“These companies, Siemens, MRF1 and West African Energy, are well-known companies in electronics, energy and ICT.

“ The objectives of the project is to industrialise the state and create employment for the youths.

“The power will be distributed across the zones in the state. We really want to take our youths off the street and get them fully employed,” he said.

Mr Nasir Giwa, the representative of Siemens International, said that the state on completion of the project would be the first to sell or export power to the national grid.

Giwa stated that the moment power was being generated in the state, many other developmental activities would naturally follow.

“We believe that power generation is a fulcrum of commercial growth.

“ Once it is achieved, other things would naturally follow and Oyo State will be the first State to export power to the national grid,” he said.

Also, Mrs Lolade Oresanwo, the representative of West African Energy, said that the project would create employment opportunities in the excess of 10,000.

“The success of this project is the importance of power to industrialisation. When there is power, there are more employment opportunities,” Oresanwo said.

no doubt nigeria gdp is growing at a faster rate and the populagion is also increasing. But there is no tangible development. Many schools are incompatable with the mordern standard. Health care system is worst and there is no stability in the nation democracy.

Ghana on the hands sufferd growth in gdp and population but she is covering lapses in education , over 80 percent of ghanians enjoy electricity coverage. even in the rural village.effective and efficent medical system are also in place . over 60percent of the nation has access to health care system with high govt subsidy. There is an health insurance policy for every ghanian citizen. Many nigerians even hold it now enjoyin ghana health care sytem. Ghana is actually not growing with the space of nigeria growth. but she is developing in quality of life.and that is why ghana is rated highest in human index development in west africa . Even ahead of kenya.

greece is not growing infact ghana has a goo growth record better than greece. but can ghana compare hereself with greece in development. absolutely NO. even russia the lion of eastern europe can not stand it.


it isnt about .GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT. IT IS ABOUT LIFE WORTH LIVING.

TayserMahiri:
Sounds promising, why do you mention Canadian dollars? Dont you use US dollars as the global currency while doing trade?

that money was given to the country by friends of the nation. it is not borrowed. It is free. Yeah dollar is the global currency

Why are Ghanaians joining the bandwagon of Africans risking their lives to move to Europe? I saw this on the news how they died of thirst in the Sahara and was shocked Ghanaians could do that.

the govt embark on too much borrowing and this affect the economy to its weakest point. no meaninful employment take place apart from capital project. All these are for the good of the country .

the current govt is more serious in implenting a robust economy that will stop that nonsense. there is a policy of implementing one district one factory.and over 500 million canadia dollar for job creation， the govt plan not to borrow like her predecessor

freshest4live:
Vaax the report is about Governments in those countries supporting investments and thinking ahead. Can you really boast of having more innovators than Nigeria individually? Of course you can't. Even in terms of technology and lCT you can't mess with us, just that in your country the policies encouraging such are well structured compared to Nigeria.
Even your vice president begged our business men to provide jobs for your youths.

using the ratio equation. you may be wrong. ghanian has a lot of innovators but comparing it with nigeria population definetly ghana is small. In terms of ratio ghana may take the lead. Imagine a 1 milliion innovator seving entire population of180million. This is very minimum.using similar ratio it is small comparing to ghana population. My figure is just a rough extimation.

good country will call and beg for investor,amywhere just like the way nigeria govt is encouraging foreign investment.

GREAT american is even beging for forieng investment . china is investing im the usa. so ghana case is not a big deal.

Scaw Metals and Guma in R400m new Ghanaian plant
November 28, 2013
• No Comment
Robert Gumede’s vision of building a Pan African investment vehicle via the Guma Group has received a shot in the arm after landing a steel deal to venture into the oil rich Ghana.
An announcement released yesterday has Guma partnering with South African steel manufacturer Scaw Metals and the Jospong Group of Companies to set up a R400m plant in Ghana.
The announcement released by Scaw Metals said the company will construct a new grinding media plant in Tema, Ghana. “This new plant seeks to significantly increase the company’s grinding media capacity on the African continent. This move, valued at more than US$40m, is done in partnership with the Guma Group, a South African player, as well as the Jospong Group of Companies, which is based in Ghana.”
The announcement said the consortium will bring additional investment to Ghana by increasing the steel product range, through a company which will produce other steel related products including Rolled Products; long steel products, reinforcing bars, low and high-carbon wired rods, reinforcing coil, etc.
“Our investment showcases the value that partnerships between the private and public sector can bring to infrastructure development in Africa,” said Gumede.
This plant serves as a catalyst for the further enhancement of business to business relationships, which is much needed for job creation and trade in the region.”
Gumede‘s march largely represent the changing face of the South African economy. He is part of a new class, few it must be said, of black businessmen who have broken into the mainstream commercial activity and are now looking for a place within the industrial sector and across the continent. Gumede will be largely known for leading the development of an ICT company Gijima into the JSE.
His investment vehicle, the Guma Group, is tagged as a Pan-African, black owned multi-disciplinary investment company with operations globally and across the African continent. The group is said to employ over 12 000 people and focusing in energy power generation, ICT, infrastructure development, tourism, property real estate and shopping centre development.
Yesterday’s announcement said the Tema plant, with an annual capacity of 50,000 metric tons, should become operational within 18 months and will offer significant job opportunities in the local community.”
The Scaw Metals Group is the largest producer of cast high chrome grinding media in the southern hemisphere and is the leading producer and supplier of high chrome and forged grinding balls primarily to the African platinum, copper and gold mining industries.”
We are delighted that we will be opening a plant in Ghana and this is outbound investment for a South African entity,” said Markus Hannemann, Chief Executive of the Scaw Metals Group.
The Ghanaian government has made a great push for the local manufacturing industry to stimulate economic growth and provide job creation.”
He noted that Scaw Metals already has a presence in Ghana. The company’s Ghanaian operation was registered in 2011 as a regional sales office to service the West African region. With offices in Tema, Scaw Ghana functions as a local point of contact for all of the products manufactured in South Africa by the Scaw Metals Group that may be in demand in the region.
“From our experience in Ghana thus far, we are certain that we will be able to fully utilise the vast potential in the region. The skills development we will be providing for the employees of the plant will make sure that our plant will have world-class standards and have a significant knock-on effect in the local community,” said Hannemann.
“We are looking forward to the partnership with the Scaw Metals Group and supplying the region will grow the business further. We will also look for other steel beneficiation opportunities in Ghana”, says, Joseph Siaw Agyepong, Chairman, Jospong Group of companies.

The Global Innovation Index (GII) 2016 has ranked Nigeria 114th out of 128 countries globally surveyed and considered to be innovating and thinking ahead.The 423-page document obtained by The Guardian, yesterday, showed that about 19 countries including Mauritius, South Africa, Morocco, Tunisia, Kenya, Rwanda, Malawi, Uganda, Tanzania, Ghana, among others in Africa are investing in innovation and are far ahead of Nigeria.
he report, which claimed that Nigeria was performing below its level of development, said Kenya , Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, and Uganda stand out for being innovation achievers at least four times in the past five years.

so you mean ghana is also taking a lead. Despite many ghanian going abroad

Hahahahahah! Dis small boy is abusing his elder and he called himself a Nigerian, a Yoruba for that matter.

Who are you deceiving?


Since, you have acknowledged Herbert Macaulay's father was born to a Nigerian parents in Sierra Leone and he accepted to be called a Sierra leonian according to Ghanaian school of thought, the same way Herbert Macaulay accepted to be identified as a Nigerian. Full stop.

Don't be dull to read that too since you pretended not to see the open bracket that was written Nigeria beside the name of his father.

if i dont reply you. i only feel not to disgrace you again. you are an adult at least 30 upward. so i feel like letting you ranting for free.

forgiveness:
Your logic has been defeated.

Even wiki acknowledged his father is a Nigerian and Herbert Macaulay claimed Nigeria.
