I was impressed at some things I saw in Benin
So I won't be surprised

Benin republic actually have one of the best govern system in west africa, way ahead of vory coast and Togo . Never underate the country .

Just40:
Yeah... I saw that

The country is so bankrupt and unable to pay debt such that it is opting to sell out the rest of the country 😂🤣

Ruto will reck that shit hole

the country can't be better than Benin republic . It is impossible .

you spend 30% of your budget of education and end up with a horrible education system with less quality infrastructure.

The fees that your students in high school and university pays does not show a free education. Shut up and learn proper

Your citizens are so poor such that they can't pay for healthcare care, because they are charged for everything. How Did it became free for them ?😂🤣
Lie in a better way

Sorry your electricity hasn't gotten to our kind of quality supply, reliability, availability, consumption levels and reach.
Kenya is so far behind.

How come we have more infrastructure than your poor broke country? Under normal circumstances, you should have had more than us because you have twice our population.

We have more roads tarred, far better and advanced healthcare system, more better schools and a far advanced educational system and etc

kenya has proposed selling up her public universities.

Mkenya2019:
If people are dying from insecurity - a military rule is better option. Nigeria need Abacha if it cannot invest in security - and stop the kidnapping, boko haram, and cattle rustling.

Development will ONLY happen after you deal with basic security.

Let alone basic like electricity and water.

Nigeria level of dysfunctionality is just crazy.

Nigeria would be better off going back to military rule. I dont see how politician will solve the problems that country faces if they are not ready to institute Abacha like reform or well Jerry Rawling type.

Anyway the trend in West Africa shows military dictatorship are coming back.

[b]Ghana has become broke, expensive and dysfunctional. [/b]So there is hardly any bright star - maybe Ivory Coast.

pass me your weed , it must be from the right source .unditurated one . If Ghana is broke then what is kenya financial stand ? Wretched I guess

Mkenya2019:
Ecomog deployed 2,500 troops mostly Nigerians. Kenya troops right now are in DRC - and in Somalia. You're talking the dead Ecomog that last deployed in 30yrs ago?

A slowpoke talking , ecomong was way more significant than your troops then that it makes no sense to recall if there is any presence of kenya army . You were too insignificant to mention . Ghanaian army alone are up to 1000 men in more various ground , 700 troops from the start and additional 300 men during in the intensity of the war . this is different from Nigeria high millitary number . About 6000 solders from Nigeria only

Ecomong men are about 10,000 men you this idiot.

UN mission even recognize us , that is how important Ghanaian army were in the war front . No one cares about your presence.


""soldiers of the Ghanaian Battalion (GHANBATT) 13 were awarded UN Medals on Friday 08 April 2011 at the Battalion Headquarters in Buchanan, Liberia. It was an occasion for the UN to honour the troops and to show appreciation and gratitude for their contribution to peace and stability in Liberia"".

Mkenya2019:
Kenya had 800 versus Ghana 700 in UNAMSIL; Kenya was overral commander from 2000. Next excuse.

Just shut up , we are taking of ecomong . Combination of west african state . And you stupidly think your lazy ass solders who can't save the ass of your neighbor rwanda during genocide will that be important

Saddamochieng00:
I think you dropped this.

I think you need that medicine as prescribed. What he mean is , They were too insignificant to be considered available. Kenyan troops in west african war were too small unlike the high presence of Ghanaian solders or sengalis troops in rwanda east Africa or Ghanaian army in congo

We have ecomong ( which are combination of the army's of west african state ) to tackle the war. Ecomong were there in large to even considered any subordinate .

Just40:
There was no Kenyan troop in Liberia and sierra leonne .... The troops that were sent there were mostly Nigerian, Ghanaian, Malian, Ivorian

When ecomong is on standby , what will be the essence of those chicken soldiers

rvp2018:
Yes, Kenya troops, died in Sierra leonne and Liberia.
And many countries.
A soldier cannot just sit there and watch as civilian are killed.
That is why Senegalese are highly regarded.
You and Koffi Annan are useless.

You are an idiot . This is Ghanaian army decorated by paul kagame of rwanda himself for their bravery .

We stay back , we fought back even when the army with most sophisticated guns were recalled .


This is Ghanaian general getting the medals of bravery from kagame himself .

This video is enough evidence of your stupidity.

rvp2018:
How many of your cowardly troops died in Ghana when almost a million people were slaughtered as you watch and sung lullabies to the people.

You should never have gone there.

Koffi Annan I guess brought you to Rwanda so your broke country could get UN Money.

Your army was stranded in Nairobi with no transport to Kigali then went there to watch and make false promise.

False promises that UN and world would save Rwanda.

Poor Rwandese sat there waiting for help that never came.

Only the Senegal army did take matters into their hands.

You see why I always abandoned argument with you , it is like you don't know what you are talking about. Are they fighting in Ghana ? You were expecting Ghanaian army to die in Ghana when the fight was in rwanda . Are you mad or something?

Ghanaian solders were the only troops that stays back ,Even with little supply of arsenals. the belgium solders disappeared , the uno recall almost the military men standing , it is only the Ghanaian army who are in stand . Rwanda is forever grateful to us.

Go get a history book

rvp2018:
Kenyans were not in Rwanda - we would have done a better job.
Ghana were rubbish - their army watching genocide - while Koffi Annan sat there cowardly in New York.
Senegal army led by late Mbaye Diagne tried.

EAC is one of most successfully regional market - if not for TZ - a communist backwater like Ghana.

Like I said Africa free Trade failed the day the secretariat was shifted to west Africa.

You can bury it. Give it the elaborate Ghanian dirges.

shut up, we can see how you were unable to capture somalia insurgent talkless of the real rwanda geneocide. Do you mean Ghanaian army were weak when just a Ghanaian Colonel by the name yatche safe about 80 rwanda's without a gun nor bomb. You mean when a contingent of over 400 troops from Ghana violated orders from the UN Security Council to withdraw, and stayed with the UN’s beleaguered peacekeeping mission throughout the genocide are all weak ? You must be stupid . Maybe it is time they introduce history back in kenya class. When Ghanaian army was saving Rwanda ass , your men were shivering under their woman pant .


Ecowas is not only big but by way more successful than your backwater . Too many poor country in east africa , your market can't be a successful one.

Afcta market has come to stay , you will gradually see the development in about time come.

rvp2018:
General tried - Koffi Annan betrayed Rwanda.

As for Ecowas - without Nigeria - what are you talking about - 50M market btw Ivory and Gold coast.

What will you exchange - elephant tusk for gold?

Bottom line. Ghanaian army were the most braviest army among the men sent for the peacekeeping to rwanda during her geneocide . Your men runs in-between their balls hanging in there leg ... Kofi anaan represent uno not Ghanaian on this case . The army are directly from Ghanaian troops..


There is difference between a successful market and a big market . A successful market dose not need to be big . It is structure that you need , Even at that , we are still talking about 300 million plus excluding Nigeria market, there's are nearly 14 to 16 countries that makes up ecowas .

rvp2018:
Ecowas or West Africa cannot function when Nigeria is sick.
They closed the border unilaterally and open when they want.
Kenya was in Liberia and Siera Leonne.
Ghana you watched over the massacre in Rwanda...led by your KOFI ANNAN - who did nothing at UN.
I think if you go to rwanda as Ghanian - you might be expelled by Kagame.

Idiot, ecowas without a Nigerian market is still a successful one. Ghana and cote d'ivoire has proved it . It might not be big but it is definitely a successful one . And for your stupidity , Nigeria only closed her border for a long time during buhari regime , closing of border for such long is not a normal thing and the idea is that expected to die a natural death with the end of buhari time .

When Ghana was providing peacekeeping in somalia , rwanda , your army was hiding under the buffet of their wife .

General Anyidoho( a formidable Ghanaian general was one of the few foreign peacekeeping troops who bravely refused to abandon Rwandans to their fate in defiance of the UNSC order to evacuate. Your brother run away with their balls in their knickers.


Kagame recently reward them. Ghanaian citizens are highly valued in rwanda than their fellow counterpart .

Just40:
The idea behind the interchange is to connect Pokuasi to every part of Accra and the roads are far extended than anything in Nairobi built 20 years ago.

Pokuasi is connected to the Eastern most end of Accra and the western most end of Accra by super highways...

Unlike slummy towns like Thika, kiten-gela, Athi river, and co surrounding Nairobi 2km areas ... Instead of Nairobi wasting 1 billion dollars to build a road for few cars, it could have spent the money to bulldoze most of Nairobi to build proper housing like you'll find all over pokuasi.

I hope it is not the same with rest of east africa ?

rvp2018:
It dead on arrival.
Kenya has to pursue east africa strategy.
We focus on getting Ethiopia - we create 500M people market.
You can keep Africa Trade in Accra.
Ecowas doesnt even work. How will you make Africa free trade work.

Its only kenya that has been pushing for it - as it only africa country to trade 50 percent within africa.

Dead on arrival.

The logistics alone are crazy - what will work is Open Skies.

Ecowas market alone swallowed whatever you have up there . If there is any successful organization that binds african country together, then it is surely ecowas . Ecowas has restore peace in liberia , Gambia and the rest . What you are still struggling with in south sudan , Even Ghana from ecowas country provided a safe heaven to rwanda during geneocide while your men ( army ) hide under their woman blowse


It is gradual process , afcta will soon become fully functional

rvp2018:
Slums as far as the eye can see.

That interchange only shows the difference between you and us . Is only a country that have future that can built such interchanges, second of its kind in africa, you stupidly think interchanges should be built where there are tall buildings but you ignorantly don't know that what we're doing here in ghana is a development plan,just wait for some few years to come the number one interchange in west africa will be in the middle of tall buildings. It is already happening even now .

rvp2018:
It was a mistake to locate afCFTA in broke Ghana. You dont even know what need to be done to get it going. And you dont have what it takes. That should have been taken to Rwanda or Nairobi or Adis.

It wasn't a mistake , it was a contest between Accra and nairobi, but we know who took the shot at the end of the day. It is about soft power . Ethiopia already got africa union , rwanda is a nobody.


It will start when the rest of africa get ready to ratify their differences

[b]Ghana and South Africa to establish free 90 days visa free to both ordinary citizens . [/b]There already exist free visa arrangement for diplomat .

Let see how it will works

You're wasting your time on a lunatic who uses two accounts to portray himself as two different persons ...
You should not expect him to be sane.


As we speak today, Nkrumah's economic ventures are what is driving the Ghanaian economy.

No wonder Ghana is far developed, progressive and advanced than Kenya.
Kenya since independence has not had someone as Smart, Knowledgeable, developmental and with economic knowledge like Nkrumah, before.

They keep running failed policies that leads Kenya Bankrupt and unable to feed itself because of laziness and stupidity.
They've managed to build a North Korea in Africa

He is reading from ill informed literature or he is generally mad on his own . I stop replying to him when I see the many errors from his write up . I will be wasting time doing that .

Ghana freely donated this building to Africa to host the Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

Ghana loves Africa....

If you want to know how Ghana finance many africa project , take a read from the Google and don't expect me to feed you.

Pokuase Interchange in Ghana vrs Belgrade-Surcin Interchange in Serbia.

Both interchanges were not built in the middle of the city but outskirts in order to control traffic in and out of the city.

rvp20182:
Kwame collapsed Ghana economy.
He took over one of few thriving British colonies (together with Nigeria)
And by 1962 had proven Brits right when six year later Ghana became BANKRUPT (like now)
He couldn't pay salaries including the army.
The army predictably overthrew him in 1966
Invited IMF to fix Ghana.
IMF have never left Ghana.

How did Nkurumah bankrupt Ghana
He first enacted a communist dictatorship
Next he went on ambitious volta dam - way above anything Ghana could finance.

Ghana had 1.2B dollar economy then (one of africa highest backed by gold and cocoa) -
what does Kwame do - take almost 1billion dollar loan to build volta/Akasombo dam.
That kind of overleveraging has one outcome.

Outcome BANKRUPTCY
Outcome Military dictatorship

Ghana to this day is yet to learn the lesson of over-borrowing or over-leveraging.

Another confused idiot who doesn't know anything about Ghana but wanted to sound apt , Nkrumah took Ghana to IMF indeed but he rejected it later on when he discovered the later austerity measure is not in correlation with his fiscal expenditure .

Nkrumah built Tema Harbour , The Akosombo Dam The Tema Estate, Takoradi Railways many factories , universities Schools, Atomic Junction Project Colleges Polytechnics and roads Etc all these are more than the imaginary one billion dollars you said he borrowed . When britain did not leave Ghana anything. The British you are stupidly talking about was bankrupt after the 2nd World War. They borrowed billions from Canada and the U S in the 50s to rebuild their economy. Nkrumah, the legend stopped Britain from siphoning the little that we had. They did not leave us money neither did they do us a favour. It was our money saved due to Nkrumah's own fiscal prudence.

Even at that Nkrumah was able to pioneer other Africa project in the spirit of pan africanism . From Ghana own pulse , Nkrumah built a railway network for Mauritania , built an International airport in Algeria, .give out free cash to guinea conakry for a new nation.

If Nkrumah hadn't built Ghana from the scratch, we would have been doomed like kenya by now.

Even the king loves to play golf .

Asantehene of ashanti kingdom himself

QuietMynd:
Save for Singapore, none of those countries re developed buddy.
And remove middle eastern countries from that list.
They re third world with shinning skyscrapers, nothing developed there, some african countries re better than those middle east.

Even if we are to agree for the sake of argument . None of them is actually a developed country bar singapore or maybe UAE ( it is highly debatable) as you rightly put. But none of this country build their country on a single man , A single man may appear to pilot the idea of the nation building but it was later institutionalized .

No country can developed without strong institution. That is the secret of the western country and that make it work every time.

Most of kwame nkrumah development agenda went off when he was kick out of power. Ghana was already head starting and having a system comparable to india ad indonesia back then. Everything collapsed when kwame nkrumah was kick off from power.

rvp2018:
Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia and of course most of middle east are example of dictatroship that transition into proper developed countries - and eventually build institutions.

Dictatorship has nothing to do with development. China is good example of great dictatorship that has developed.

They are NOT mutual exclusive.

Yes of course democratic strong independent institution is great on its own but a country will not go down for lacking one.

Ghana is good example - Jerry Rawlings - eventually transitioned you back into democracy - from military dictatorship.

Rwanda has certain peculiarities that make democracy now and in the future difficult - as minority Tutsi at 10 percent - will simply be killed by 90 percent majority Hutus like happen in 1960s (sending Kagame to Uganda as small boy refugee) and in 1990s.

Rwandese Tutsi have to find a formula of democracy that will work for them - popular vote is an existential threat to their very existence - and Kagame & his successor are likely to have tight control of institution - just like Isreal has to deal with Palestine in Isreal using crude methos.

The fact is you are not ignoring the fact that strong institution build these country , either they used their strong men to achieve it or not is not the bone of my argument but actualizing a developed country thru an institution rather than strongmen.

No country can build a progressive country simply by focusing on a single strong men.

What we need are strong institutions and not strong men. As Rawlings once said, ""we must put institutions in place where even when we appoint criminals as our leaders it will be very difficult for them to rob us because the system will not permit them to do so"".


Rwanda has no hope outside kagame agenda . What a mess ? Is that what you called a country they can't even chatter their own life and predict their destiny till next 2034 except what kagame want .

GeneralDae:
To be honest, if they love Kagame and he is good for the country, I see nothing wrong with this. It's only wrong if he is the one imposing this on the people.

So many things wrong bro, A developed economy don't build just strong men but strong institution, with strong men , the development only last when they are alive or with the power but with strong institution, the development last forever.

Using libya as an example , Libya was already a fully developed country when Gaddafi was in power, Gaddafi was so strong , he made Libya achieved almost all the millinium goals development agenda set by UNO way back early 2000 but libya failed and become a third world country after gaddafi died, Assuming it was strong institution libya built, the development agenda will have continued like what we have in UK, germany and western power, No matter who becomes a leader , there exist a pattern of development every leader must follow regardless of who you are. What africa needs is strong institution not strong men who keeps holding on to power as long as they care.

Strong men only last for a limited time , strong institution last forever .

There is nothing worthy of progress in Rwanda , if you talk about neatness , do you mean clearing all the homeless children and placing them in concentration camp is the way to go? When we can gradually build a formidable economy to absorb them all. There is poverty in rwanda more than Benin republic, rwanda is only hiding it(Kigali is not just Rwanda , Even kigali is not a standard city that can measure up to cotonou) .

Even in the street of london there exist homeless beggers , they aren't put in concentration camp like rwanda kigali , the economy gradually absorb them and they gradually reduce and off the street .

Stop believing in propaganda, nothing works there .

This is the country some individual are trying to compare with us . Even Benin republic is way advance than this shit-hole

Good brother helper . Ghana always got your back . I remember helping Tanzania too .

Expect more hunger this year in Kenya especially with dollar selling at 145kshs

A weak shilling has pushed the debt up by another 351 billion shillings... What a shit show

This means Kenya borrowed on the domestic market not in shillings but in dollars as well.

You guys are ready stupid

You mean they also borrowed from their domestic market in dollars? A massaging shillings indeed. Even their local bank don't want to trade buisness in local shillings. Very horrible .
