We didn't nickname ourselves, the west nicknamed us long ago.

Hahaha you are wicked . ghanians on this forum keep making me hate ghana the more with their constant useless and unnecessary hype of ghana.abeg which ghana are they talking about again pls?hope isn't the one with my maternal parental houses are located at kaneshie,nsawam and aburi?though there isn't much difference in their exchange rate though but my mum who lives in ghana still prefers changing her naira at segbe border than at togo park in tudun just because of this slight difference

let me tell you something it is not about debate. You can learn here. I ply that ghana road to nigeria more than five times in a year. I can tell you more. Tudu rate is diffrent from aflao rate likewise ilakoji and seme. You can get cedi in seme border and if you will get it is more expensive. The best rate you can get for cedi is lome border why？ there is much movement of people and goods plying that root. Tudu rate is on and off. Naira is not welcome in ghana and if they must,change it for you it will be expensive. Dollar or cfa currency can easily be predicted in ghana illegal black market.

Marcelo290:
Yeah I also strongly agree with you.

It all boils down to your definition of development, if it means having numerous world class slums which attract tourists, having people who live like uncivilized animals in pre-historic era still living in jungles, or maybe people filled with so much inferiority complex and low self-esteem esteem, then I would pass cos your very correct.

Everyone now fighting for superiority lol now it's Gh Vs Kenya, this should be the best form of comparison and not trying to lurk heads with your lords... you can continue but don't bring us inside, I repeat, don't bring us in, just remember that I have my PC handy with me. funny set of people!

lets try to be civialized here. Why do you think nigeria is really giant. No insult pls i want to learn from you

NairobiWalker:
You missed the point. Most Nigerians here attribute anything good from another country as being done by foreigners and brag how they have influence and are colonizing Africa through their videos that are supposedly the best on the continent. My comment points out the irony of the matter in that their best videos which they're apparently using to colonize South Africa are actually done by South Africans in South Africa.

that is what you guys are correcting and it is not sinking. Nigeria are born proud people. They nick name themselves giant of africa for no good reason apart from population.telling u they are better than everyone. This is arrogance in display. Nothing you will post here will defeat that their idea of giant. Some may learn anyway.

NairobiWalker:
Are you Nigerian? Well they're producing your best music videos and from this thread it seems like videos and movies are your biggest bragging rights. Soon they'll start producing your best movies.

am a ghania likewise a nigeria. It happens that my love for ghana as a nation is great. I own dual citizenship. Ok you mean south africa producing nigeria movie is what you call colonization. Am not intending to argue with you against nigeria. It will have been cool if it is ghana.

anyway for education purpose. i dont see any whim here. south africa producing nigeria music is not a whim idea. it is business. south africa currently can give what nigeria want. kenya or ghana may take that position tomrrow.

Most of bollyhood movies are produce by usa company likewise chinese.

NairobiWalker:
Like?

quality of life or call it human index development. kenya is doing well when it come to tourism sector but might not be doing enough when it comes to citizens welfare. ghana too is not a good example though

NairobiWalker:
The only country that escaped SA's claws in Africa is Kenya. Even South Africans know that. Those guys talking of Nigeria colonizing Africa should instead worry about being colonized by SA first.

why should we worry about south african ？and how is SA colonizing us

We saw World War two and we know Russia was the major actor and not even America.

So, it is convenient to say, since Russia rescued europe, they are Gaint of Europe.

In Asia China and India are Gaint. Japan is still under America.


In Sub Sahara Africa, Nigeria has contributed to every conflicts in Sub Sahara Africa.

Military strength, manpower, money etc I don't think any SubSaharan Africa country can withstand Nigeria except Ethiopia and South Africa.

forgiveness why？ so you mean nigeria is giant becuse of millitary strenght？lol.


those who are the most victim of the war are not even european. they are jews who settle in europe. if any country should be given a medal of charity it will be USA AND BRITAIN. why do you think they are lot of jewish family in the usa today. Usa opens her border freely for victim of war. Britain provide inteligence support for the usa. Russia can not be neglected especially her role with the soviet unioun. But she will not get the charity medal.

what do you mean by japan is under usa. i dont get it. japan robotic technology is more advance than usa.hope you know it. japan may achived success in the bulding of artificial inteligence computer before usa.


nigeria has play a brotherly role both finances and manpower likewise ghana. i may not be able to talk on kenya. ghana deploys troops to mali ,abidjan,gambia and liberia so what else again. financially ghana is richer than ethiopia. Military strenght give it to egypt not even nigeria. Egypt has face one of the most advance country in the world and she is still standing. Isreal.

let me tell you one thing. you may not accept it. ghana millitary are well trained and one of the best in africa. they may not possess amunitions like nigeria or spend like her .and this is becuse ghana is peaceful. No war to fight. Obasonjo and gowon are product of ghana millitary school.

a millitary majour told me about nigeria army in liberia peacekeeping operation.he said nigeria millitary sent war ship to nigeria army to defend against the rebel who uses big machet and canoe to attack. nigeria army was unable to operate their own war ship. This ship was handed over to a ghanain army to operate.

Kk. Good explanation

ππ It's a good thing that some of these whites n Indians are also citizens. Don't mind we west Africans. We are not just used to sharing the same country with people of other racial backgrounds. Hence our pre-conceived mindsets of a 100% black african entity.

It's not a Nigerian thing, it's a west African thing. Apart from Cape Verde which was a country founded by black labourers & white masters, no other west African country had a history of white, Indian or Arab settlements. Nuuh we don't. Xcept maybe Mauritania (and they don't even consider themselves west africans)

I have checked the list of richest Kenyans as someone told me to and i found out the Indian influence or economic power is so true
Can u say anything about this?

they are lot of lebanese and indians ghanian. one is even my friend. i remember my grandpa adopted one from his second marriage. the belgium father flew after the birth of the child. he is independent now. A ghanian belgium.

And there are lot of cases like that. This white oyinbo cause serious problem for us in ghana during the colonial time. Giving birth without taking,care of their responsibility.

infact i wish to document it on my blog.

India is a giant in Asia but Singapore citizens lives better life.


Russia is the Gaint of Europe but Switzerland is far richer.

In Sub Sahara Africa, Nigeria is the Gaint though Ethiopia and South Africa are not pushovers. Comprehend!?

your discription is wrong. russia can not claim to be giant in europe. what should germany ,UK,france do？

india can not claim to be giant in asia. what should china and japan do？

nigeria case as giant has been defeated many times.kenya are not calling themselve gaint of east africa becuse they do know it is wrong to do so. while will ethiopia says she is giant where there is kenya or tanzania？

bostwana is running fast to take that position of developed country from SA.

even south africa the country i consider the most developed country in africa cant argue it.

nigeria will have been trully giant assuming she use her resources judiciously.

There is Zenith, Access and others lined up where dey sell food. I remember that place is where the central gas is. It is beside a big hall with long steps and opposite the sport complex.

i have hold you on the dick. No bank is opposite the sport complex. The sport complex is opposite to the opongolo road and there is a taxi rank behind it. Very close to the gym center that,houses sport adminisration.

you want to talk about night market. a majour bank close to night market is eco bank and also very close to the school mosque. zenith bank owns its atm machine beside the balm library. think before you lie. you dont excape this one

who even exchange Naira at the border?
The problem with you Nigerians is that you always act dumb. How do you travel from Nigeria with Naira in hand when you should know that the international denominator is dollar?
The guys who always exchange Naira at makorla are Nigerians and they see that they are doing you a favour

and that is why cedi rate is expensive in makola market.at most of the time they do decline to change nnaira to cedi expect cedi to naira. They will tell you naira is deadly.it goes off and on like NEPA

forgiveness:
Now, you have buttressed the fact that the same way exchange rate varies from Cbn, Bank and black market is the same in Ghana. Don't come here and pass wrong information. ..

no sir. nigeria exchange rate can cause heart attack. It is unpredictive.

forgiveness:
Of course, I withdrew money at the atm in the University of Ghana a day before the Nigerian government blocked it. That should send a signal that I know your exchange varies from places to places.

Dollar to Cedis na still the same thing. I remembered I had an encounter with a money changer some years back. After changing the money, he traced me to the bus going to Tema because he said the exchange rate changed as soon as I left him.

Wetin consin me, I ignored him and he was rebuked by my co Ghanaian brothers.

The koko is, dollar's rate dey change for places.

which bank do you use in legon and give me a direction to the bank in campus

Isahalbash:
Muslim don't bury Dere deceased with casket or in Ghana is different?



What of if d deceased was a prostitute or yahoo yahoo boy, what will they bury him/ her with?

it is not mandatory. freedom of choice. muslim are not applicable but he can get one if he desire.

yahoo yahoo boy may prefer laptop casket shape while prositute may prefer dick or condom casket shape. dont get me serious here. am just been sarcastic

forgiveness:
You can't deceive me because I have been to Ghana more than 50 times and I have exchanged naira to Cedis at the two sides Aflao border(different rates), at Community 1 Tema, Mokola, ATM etc.

I know they all have different exchange rates. So, stop telling me Nigeria exchange rate is blah blah bintlah because I sabi wella.

interesting . where in ghana forex bereau you change your naira to cedis apart fom black market. Tudu and circle area. Ghana is a dollar country not cfa like nigeria. I know the business trend so i can explain it better.

forgiveness:
That guy said it as it is. Inflation was the problem, imagine buying sachet pure water with big paper notes.

Paying for Coca cola in thousands of Cedis notes.

here i need to refer you to economics textbook seniour high school standard. what is redenomination and its purpuse.

PissedYagami:
Dont think so mate, Kenya receives waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more tourists than Ghana. But I am suprised Zim gets more tourists than un

kenya tourism is far developed than ghana tourism likewise gambia and senegal. No doubt but ghana political stabilty make her enjoy more revenue compare to thse countries. Ghana minister of tourism wish ghana tourism sector could model kenya.

forgiveness:
Same goes for Ghana currency. Exchange rate at the border is different from the exchange rate in Tema, if you go to Accra the exchange rate is also different.
This in regards to black-market.

The exchange rate of Ghana currency is different in Ghana banks.

ATM exchange rate also is different.

Which of these exchange rate did you use to arrive at 60 dollars as minimum wage in Ghana?

For now the I will use the Nigeria's official rate of 304 to arrive at 59 dollars as minimum wage.

No ojoro.


On this, Nigeria is far better.

that is not true. border rate is diffrent from city rate. border rate base their rate on currency demand not on bank rate. dollar at border may even be over valued or down value depending on the demand.

ghana exchange rate is effective througout ghana cities. nobody will change naira for you at forex bereau. you can only get naira rate in makola.

ATM will charge you for service have you forgotten. am not in ghana now but the last time i checked the bank rate is the same with tudu rate. a place in accra known for black market business. in ghana no one go against BOG. Except on foreign business like western unioun ,afri cash and so on

NairobiWalker:
The Cedi was a very weak currency actually. In 2007 they did away with it due to inflation and created another currency - the second cedi that was worth 10,000 initial cedis! In 2007 1$ was worth 470 Cedis!

Despite this it's been weakening at a very fast rate. their inflation is 17% and if the trend continues it will soon be weaker than the Kenya shilling.

Same thing happened with the Zambia Kwacha in 2012 I think.

In terms of currency performance the cedi performs very poorly. Botswana is the best performing in Africa. Kenya and SA perform pretty well too.

PS

Actually 1GH cedi = 0.23$ not the other way round.

1$= 4.3 Cedis

actually you did not get the fact. before the old currency was redonominated to smaller volume. it was not intended to fight inflation . the exercise was meant to reduce the volume of large paper money. In 2007 when the new cedi drop. A 100 dollar is equal to 92 ghc which is the same as 920.000 old cedis

cedis is stable for the past 24months therfore it is strong at least compare to naira or shillings even cfa curreny. there is infation in the country as a result of goverment expenditure but infation has help to increase more productivity. Companies are increasing their production and business are enlarging their cost to cover the gap.making ghana suitable for business.

the current govt administration is very clever toward the stability of cedi. you can check cedi performance record from january

almost 300 naira and you said your minimum wages is 60 dollars.

While a bottle of 35cl Coca Cola in Nigeria is 70 naira, if we consider the minimum wages of 59 dollars in Nigeria, who do you think dey live better life?

Your economy dey ....

Soon minimum wages go increase to about 200 dollars for naija.

if i can say. nigeria currency exchange is sick. there is always a diffrent price. from black market rate to bank rate. even some financial institute has their own rate.

nigeria minimum wage is currently 18000 naira that will give you something around 45 dollar in black market as of yesterday base on 378 or 380 exchange.

ghana earn more in wages. there is also a debate in parliament to increase the wages.

nigeria can do better i accept. but currently ghana is taking the lead.
