Kenya went with Nigeria and South Africa to IMF in 2020 during covid.
This 4th phase/review of that program with IMF - I think it's final review/funding.
Each phase IMF asses - and decide to release money if you're going the right direction.
As of now the top 10 countries under IMF include both South Africa and Nigeria.
Kenya is not in that list.

Going to IMF is like going to hospital.
You can take yourself.
Or they can come with an ambulance.


Many countries realized their economies were sick - definitely absolutely sick with lockdowns - and run to the doctor - IMF.

Ghana refused to do the rational and prudent thing in 2020.
And continue borrowing.

And now they want the ambulance to come rescue them.

But IMF hospital is full.

Why is IMF important - and why do country go for it.
It's not about the money.

What is 3 billion dollars...Kenya collect 2 billion every month.

IMF is about BUILDING confidence - building trust with debt market that loan govs - that you're making ammends, being a good boy and they can trust you.

Countries go to IMF to send positive signals that they are on the mend - IMF does this by recommending very heavy doses of injection. Unless you dont draw the money - just get precautionary overdraft facility - the moment you want money - IMF will demand serious reforms - Egypt for example have to privatize and drop some economic policies - or you go elsewhere - which is nowhere.

Without IMF - you die Zimbwabwe style.

Ghana is bleeding every day - because nobody trust the gov of Ghana - not domestic - least of all international.

What happens - nobody can lend them - USD goes haywire - debt triple in few months - everything become impossible - country goes to standstill.

Srilanka and Lebanon are richer countries than most in Africa.

Argentina and Greece are developed countries...but when you get into negative feedback loop...you're dead..same way you're on virtous loop..where positive sentiment reinforce each other.

End of day - everyone trying to predict the future - and they dont like taking obvious risk - they aint gonna bet on Ghana when it's bleeding.

IMF was created to be Last man standing.

you are so outdated with imf polices itself , the things is imf has went Into many stream of reforms , so they don't dictate , they only act as a regulator(marker) they allow you the borrower to come up with whatever policies you wish to come up with and they make sure you adhere by it, by marking your scorelines, they restore international confidence.

They are simply now a policy credibility agency. You can of course do without imf and come up with your homegrown solution but which international cooperate institution will be willing to trust you .

Imf instill confidence on the economy and ensure businesses stays. And in addition you received some cash to push up your reserve to ensure currency stability , what kenya has done continuously for 24 times ( A bigger reason for your fragile currency, it will have perform way poorer than sri lanka rupee , since your country is trading at negative for the past five years . Such a country is not better than ivory coast , how much more of Ghana.

Only country that received more revenue than what she incurred as expenditure can justify not needing imf at all as far as Africa country is concern.

preciousmetals:
They are not sincere, that is not the true inflation, Ghana inflation in hovering around 90% or more

how do you calculate yours

Some degree certificate comes with date of birth, even where you were born is written on them. Especially German university certificate.

Some degree certificate comes with your age written on it . Especially German university certificate.

damosky12:
The university of first choice and the nation's pride.

Arguably, it's the best tertiary education brand in West Africa.

no , university of cape coast in Ghana is currently the best in west africa and fourth in africa now .

This is kwame nkrumah and the queen dancing somewhere in London.


The queen was way younger and beautiful then

Natbrowny:
They didn't goof. Na their style.

Na we wey dey copy and paste i blame.

We copy dere marriage join sef and even many others things, good and bad, we digest am..

Then it is very retrogressive and backward.

[b][/b]The husband is not the father of his wife.

So he is not entitle to replace her surname.

The West goofed on this as they goofed on so many other matters.

We are in 2022 in the 21st century for that matter, but the West is still behaving like the stone century.

Seeing nothing wrong with a woman banishing her dad's name for her husband's. This is simply retrogressive. The West is simply backwards.


I mean if a woman gets married, changes her name and gets divorce later, what happens? She go on to change her name again upon the second or third marriage? Imagine you had a terrible divorce with your hubby but his surname is still attached to you like an umbilical cord.

Let's not even imagine the stress and hustle a woman would go through just to change her name and reflect them on her documents. She has to swear affidavits to get them back to her surname after divorce or upon demise of her husband?

We Africans are fond of following the West, even on matters that the West are obviously not right.

Like many Under-30s, supporting BOLA TINUBU ahead of 2023 would mean preserving the old order when several younger and more appealing candidates could lead us come 2023.

His 11th colloquium pro-people advice to the VP on VAT increase triggered me and got me digging.

“Really?”

only thing developed nation keep doing now is widen of taxes. I know no one like taxes but that is the only viable option for a prosperous economy, widen up the tax , get enough money thru it , spend it at best, Use it up to gain ownership of things that are NOT as subject to the whims of speculators and make more money back to the economy . And the economy blossom for the citizens to enjoy.

If Tinubu really say this , then he knows what he is really saying

brightalo1010:
go and take the 2016 2017 and 2020 and buy something in today's market. All these backwardness is for what?

in simple language, none of the currency are doing well.

WarrenC:
55 naira can buy something meaningful, but 1cedis can not buy anything meaningful.

Things are very expensive in Ghana.
What 100 naira can buy in Nigeria, 2 cedis can not buy it.

We are quick to judge the rate, forgetting the purchasing power of the currency.

50 naira can buy you a cup of garri.
But 1 cedi can not buy a cup of garri in Ghana.

when you are looking at purchasing power then Ghana fair better than Nigeria .

How much is the minimum wage in Nigeria or how much does national service personnel in Nigeria received as allowance?

Chakabrati:
I hope their Universities will stop accepting tuition fees from other nationalities in dollars too

No it does not apply to foreign contract . Only domestic business only .

brightalo1010:
Even some Nigerians thinks cedi is stronger than Naira I'll be laughing at them. What Ghana did was to remove zeros ooo that's why our 1000 naira is like there 10 cedis if we remove the two zeros then it will be 10 naira vs 10 cedis.

At once cedis did well than naira in the year 2016, 2017 and 2020.


Naira as at now is the fourth must useless currency in africa while cedis is the second just above Zambia.

wpadmin:
Nice move from Ghana.

Little by little, Ghana is taking steps to move forward.

But one ex-giant of Africa is taking a thousand steps backward and all its citizens do is to throw jabs at Ghana.

The only thing that makes Nigeria a force to reckon with is it's population, take that population away then you will know what's up.

You are the one making mistakes, Ghana does not devalue her currency ,she only redominate it . At once, dollar was also redominate.it is just a way of lowering paper bag instead of carrying big money with no value up and down. A ten thousand cedis which is almost one million naira will fit into my back pocket . Imagine how many poly bag I have to buy for A million naira in Nigeria..

In fact the tactical brains Ghana assembled was far far better than the Nigerians. Otto Addo( part of Dortmund technical staff), George Boateng(Aston Villa under 23 coach), Cris Hughton(renowed coach in the EPL) all put together to handle Ghana. Look at how they change their tactic in the second half to sustain the pressure. Ghana knew they didn't have the materials to face Nigeria but they had plans to put together tacticians to embark on this journey. Nigeria didn't have such men on their bench. Ghana had a plan but Nigeria was dwelling on their big name players.

Nigeria has been violent when it comes to football, history repeats itself.

This is 1973 when Ghana bus was set ablase just because of winning.

In peace I came

A good gift to akuffo addo. Ghana president is celebrating his birthday today.

Despite serious advantage from the referee in favour of Nigeria .

kimco:
You think he is a wanna be? His question is very valid and his points are very grounded. You didnt say anything worthy of note but you want to call someone a wanna be. See these people ooo. Ei asem ooo.

His question is founded on empherical evidence, we need to tackle the foundation of empherical itself before we begin to tackle the evidence of religious beliefs, if he is so stone and not ready to scrutinized such foundation , then I count him a wannabe . He doesn't have a theory to apply . Awam fuo

Workch:
I am not here to argue strawman.
Just provide evidence for your beliefs that we can test

neither am I a garulous individual, once you are grounded with knowledge. I will count you a serious atheist, back in those years , we used to have smart athiest on nairaland, people like budatum, agent of allah etc. Not this type of wannabe .

I just told you that even in the body of science that uses empherical model as a standard of evidence which is axioms is simply assumed not testable , it is in this foundation, science was birth . It is called axioms .

MaxInDHouse:
WOW!
I thought atheists do agree on line of thought!

So what exactly is wrong with human brains if you can't even agree despite claiming you guys are wiser than believers?

pls I am not an athiest and your question can easily be answer by a smart athiest ...

KnownUnknown:
Ontological arguments are nothing but literary masturbation. You can define your god and give it all types of attributes but at the end of the day all you’re doing is describing something that doesn’t exist. No matter what words and phrases used to describe the nature of being of your god, [b]you still have to produce proof [/b]that it exists because your words will NEVER suffice. And we all know that your god is not going to show up like it does in your stories. So yeah, ontological arguments are a waste of time and definitely not evidence. The only thing an ontological argument evince is your vocabulary.

White Christian apologist William Lane Craig says God is “maximally great”. So what? Dog is “stupendously terrific”.

The word proof is usually only used in math and logic, the basis of science. So, in fact, there is no proof that anything exists.

For as many good arguments, there will always be of course every counterarguments, so that in aggregate, all the debate will rather inconclusive. I have given you a mathematical logic of understanding to work with . Give it a read and come down to counterproof it , if you want long chain of inconclusive argument.

Workch:
ontology is a philosophical argument, it's not evidence.
It cannot be tested

How do you text axioms ? What kind of insane answers is this ? Or you are just an atheist wannabe ? All evidence has structure base from mathematical model, how do you text this model? Axioms are taken to be true without fact and it is science .

Workch:
ontological proof is not evidence.
How do I help you understand the difference?

though you state itt without providing the reason. Or you just want to reply for replying sake .

what empherical evidence do you need that is more model than mathematical proof, seems , you will need evidence that will not be subjected into another evidence .. and pls that is not science .


S

Workch:
The topic is about evidence for your beliefs.
I'm strongly to understand how your comments address that

I only followed you last line of thought, you were of the opinion you dislike religion fanatics, and I address your topic as it does .

If you are looking for evidence of God , I have written many notes on the subject , but to not put you into a block chain, let me hack it for you. go read ""godel proof for existence of God", give it a Wikipedia read and furthermore , read more pdf

.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_ontological_proof

However, all evidence depend on their axioms. No evidence is immune to challenge, even if you are going to go against it , your evidence will be subjected to another evidence.

Scientific evidence are subjected to challenge , that is why research never end ? How compelling do you want to disagree?

Workch:
There are all sorts of reasons why people have theistic belief, and some of them make a whole lot of sense from their perspective.

Some people have experienced phenomena that isn’t adequately explained by science and find a theistic explanation more satisfying.

Some people have overcome major life challenges, such as addiction, through the power of faith.

Some people have been raised in a religious belief that has been reinforced by peers, elders, and culture.

For some, faith brings solace and comfort.

For many, faith inspires their path of lovingkindness and justice.

As I said, I’m an atheist. There are certain aspects of some theistic views that I reject and outright oppose.

But the vast majority of theists I know are people of deep character, and have reasons for their beliefs that I readily respect as long as they don't try to enforce their beliefs on others and make it the universal truth.

I have problem with fundamentalists and religious people who try to undermine you because you don't share their religious opinions.

well, being an atheist is a choice and being an extremist is also not bad but it depends on what subject.


If I am extremely kind and loving and I decide to spread it instead of hide it and you condemn me for hating those who are not kind and loving like me , haven't you commit a crime? maybe you don't get it, If I am extremely good in mathematics but decide to teach my fellow mates I perceived are not cashing up, and I am being attacked by other fellow mates, do you really think that will be fear ?

I am aware America has been propagating their own version of democracy all around the world. That is fundamentalism in politics. How do you iron that out ?

All these transgender are in for a long ride , it is spot event that will disgrace them , I wonder if a transgender male will be allowed to play football with men or a transgerder female be allowed to swim in olympic with females when they really know he/she has a rod underneath him.even if operated , the masculine homone is still there.

Loewe:
Not necessarily. Most times, schools do not like their name being dragged on social media, that alone would trigger them to act on the issue.

Nobody deserves to suffer for an institution's mistake. Public universities always expect students to accept whatever they throw at them, that's pretty unfair...

only private school will not want to have anything to do with court system but for public institution , they are like any Goverment intuition. If you like take them to supreme court, you can't compelled them against the system that established both the court system and their institution.

Kemistri4:
Can anyone on nairaland truthfully say he/she left the university a virgin?


Let's hear from you my people

whaooo.

Only India & China have a bigger population than he does followers.

Kobojunkie:
1. You have absolutely no real intention of making sense at all, do you?

maybe when you allowed yourself to think and not sticked to the brainwashed idea .

Population and quality control? Are you joking? The world population is expected to reach 50 billion in the next 25 years. Currently at 8 billion, resources are stretched as is and most of it non-renewable. Yet, you would hold the idea that heaven on earth is possible for all. .....

This denote you are not an independent thinker, what was the world population in the last 25 years ? And how has the world improved ? The world has improved well enough from the past 25 years despite the general increased population, they have been improved medical care , quality transport system and a better way of keeping record system etc.. population has nothing to do with stagnation, population and urbanization goes hands in hands. The more the world balloon , the more the civilization increased , the greatest asset of mankind is not your resources but human brain . That is the natural gift of mankind . There will be more development in the coming years .and increased population will not stagnant it rather it will improved. With your mindset it will not be possible to achieved heaven on earth , but when you are ready to stop making a mess of it and used your natural brain to the maximum , we will surely get there just as some country without natural resources achieved a better life than they were before .

You know what... you are free to believe what you want.

I don't believe , I know . Believing is a position of ignorance , knowing is a position of knowledge. It is you that believe that there exist a place that is better than our earth without evidence.
