NairobiWalker:
A source that puts Kampala ahead of Nairobi and Dar is a complete joke. It's not surprising someone of your calibre would quote it though.

something is wrong with your brain and that should be brain seizure..... Have you forgotten such system is based on payment transaction using the transaction card. what is the purpose of visiting your country if money is not transacted. Your safari and amusement park isnt enough to have it better than kampala on master card figure . how is it not occurring to you , you may be daft not to understand ....

NairobiWalker:
Claiming Accra receives more visitors than Nairobi is stupid. Even you know it. Even Lagos is four times bigger than Nairobi but doesn't receive as many visitors as Nairobi. Just compare Nairobi vs Accra hotel industry and you'll see.

That is a bad comparism anyway , visiting A country isn't only about tourism. Ghana is an education hub just behind south Africa and Egypt in africa. the volume of student coming for diploma or degree yearly should be factor , there is also buisness investment as well. we can only know this thru payment transaction platform....and master card is an example.

NairobiWalker:
We already agreed to agree with you sir. Kibera slums constitutes 2.5M of the 185k people in Kibra subcounty. Why are you complicating issues?

stop pushing words to your national statistics. ket them do the job.

And challenge to provide data for kiberans population in 2009 when you do last census. you can't be faster than the gun bullet...

TayserMahri:
Extremely skewed. That is a reflection of which countries' citizens visit which country depending on which credit card is most popular in the source market. Look at the map below. Notice American express is the most popular in US, and the US is Kenya's largest source market for tourists. So American tourists visiting Kenya would use American express not mastercard, and that would reflect as fewer visits in your mastercard data.

Ghana and Nigeria use master card mostly. I suspect a good chunk of those Accra visitors were Nigerians.

If I go by your logic here, I will also conclude the master card has no basis since the most popular card in Ghana is visa , the third on your map... we couldn't get accurate figure since not all visitor are registerd unless you are limiting it to those who pass thru the airport...

Yes Nigeria are good larger chunk of visitors in Ghana particularly from neighbouring country just as you have more Tanzania and Uganda visiting your country than Americans.

But Nigeria mostly use visa card not master card ..... And using this year statistics from the authority , Americans visiting Ghana percentage has increased by 30 percent and that of United kingdom has also double by 11 percent.... it is expected to move up again by December when the year of return event start.

there is no evidence of your mombasa or Nairobi doing it better than Accra in terms of visit if you failed to trust payment card system which is globally recognised .

TayserMahri:
Just provide the data if you have it. For Nairobi, Mombasa and Accra

I have for 2017... but you can download their pdf for 2019. 24 country were selected in 2017.... South Africa which has always been leading wasn't part of the survey....

TayserMahri:
Interesting. Okay drop those numbers...

master card 2019 global city index or better still 2018 if you can access it. This is 2017... Accra and Nairobi are tied. but it seems the visitor spends more in Accra. lagos leads.... South Africa wasn't included...

NairobiWalker:
That's not sarcasm. That's your logic. You find your logic absurd?

Then you actually missed it by the way...or you wish not to follow what I mean by the six years gap .....

blame your national statistics for failing to provide adequate info on such important notion that has polluted the image of kenya....

NairobiWalker:
I checked Achimota. Not bad.

Robert Mugabe, Gambia first president are all popular product . you can check Wesley girls , adisadel .Mfantsipim etc....


my alma matter.... Accra academy ....

NairobiWalker:
JKIA received 8M passengers annually. Let's begin from there.

What about those who passes thru land , probably, they are more than airport....not sighting the seaport.... our objective idea can be based in visa or master card.... but I will go for master card since it so more popular though it doesn't favour Ghana

TayserMahri:
Am not joking you talked of master card numbers and told me to check them. What was I to check? I have never heard of such a metric like maser card.

It simply give you a collected idea of the number of visitors .... master card is simply used for money transaction and it is more popular and acceptable than visa card in msny country . we can based the idea of our numbers on this for average sample ....

theenchanter:
medieval cities like london and paris have parallel development and their architecture is also different from modern cities like dubai or hong kong. No modern city builds like paris or central london with their type of architecture again.

Modern cities build modern structure that can fill modern demand.... we now build more highrises with steel and glass unlike before, u can't compare dubai's buildings with any type of building in central london or westminster.

See, i'm not talking about Accra or whatever but d basis of a city development.

You are simply saying development goes with culture...

what if Cairo maintain there pyramid and mecca maintain their kabba cus they are medieval city too

should we also acknowledge darsalam have it better than them?

TayserMahri:
No idea about this new metric son. You have to teach me. All I saw online is that Mastercard is not common in Ghana due to fraud.

Anyway , do away with your filmsy jokes . master card is accessible every where. we do fraud, you do sex tourism. all equal... at the end of the day we all make money but the direction of making it differ....

Troy404:
You dont even make sense, you are all over the place.

You are really not getting it. people don't visit simply because of tourist alone, we also do purposely because of buisness and other opportunities...

check the master card for easy numbers

TayserMahri:
games!!!

You can easily know this thru the use of master card .....why Don't you check on it.

TayserMahri:
It was Accra and Mombasa not Nairobi bro, WTH??. Are you seriously saying there is a chance Accra gets more visitors than either Mombasa or Nairobi? And we're talking strictly international tourists not Ghanaians returning from oversees, or people from Kumasi and Takoradi visiting Accra.

visit isn't limited to tourist. we are talking about what volume of number the country received annually either thru investment or holiday......


mombasa is not inclusive.....

NairobiWalker:
I thought we already agreed that 2.5 million of the 185k people in Kibra live in slums?

Guy your sarcasm don't get me.... Believe in your self

NairobiWalker:
Which is the best public high school in Ghana?

We don't do random ranking .... we only have popular schools that has produce many intellectual and African top politicians and diplomat.... such as Achimota ....

theenchanter:
biased? No, if my post doesn't align with urs doesn't mean i'm biased.

ok

NairobiWalker:
All of them?

I guess the more than 388 parliamentarians who agreed are gullible then while the less than 10 who disputed are your gospel.

lol

NairobiWalker:
I am simply saying, you are approaching what we already are.

dream on friend

TayserMahri:
Mombasa is very popular around the world its the setting of several highly popular video games like Halo and a board game known as Mombasa. Online Ghanaians would know Mombasa through such games.

What positives is Accra known for besides the dark slave trade?

Mombasa

Accra has lower slave trade history. that attention is given to Ghana central region. And by the way , You can only known known a popular city by the amount of visit he received annually ...

Go do comparative analyst with Nairobi and Accra which country received more visitors.....

popizaino:
And what are the basis of city development? There is no sense in saying Accra lacks well to do neighbourhood amids the pictures I posted. Lagos mainland has got no beautiful skyline does that mean there are no good neighbourhood in there?

Theenchanter is simply biased. I understand. it is normal

theenchanter:
forget the brawl, the guy made sense.

Though, i don't subscribe to cities comparison. He gave d basis of cities develooment.

Nothing make sense in that statement. it is like me standing untop SSNiT headquater in Accra ( i don't know if you know Accra) then show you some neighbourhoods which is close to the airport city and at the same time presidential area and then conclude Ghana has it better when majority of Ghanaian can't afford such life styles. Every country has its touching hot spot. and this does not exclude Ghana.

some part of London aren't diffrent so much from slums in Nigeria or Ghana Newham , Hackney, lower harmlet.... he should go take a picture there and shows us...

This rice are all made in Ghana ..... i believe we can do more

TayserMahri:
Is that Accra or Lagos? We did Lagos Nairobi long ago. Back then we only lacked unbiased shot callers. Mombasa is even more popular than Accra in case you didnt know. I truly wonder how many people know Accra outside of West Africa

Ghana has an empire. and that is Ashanti empire . it is more popular than the nation called Kenya..... if you connect to other Ghanaian online . Ask them about mombasa if any one know what that is called ......


Yes that is Accra by the way...

NairobiWalker:
Dude, we were talking about people in Kibera and I gave you KNBS data which you refuted. Stop attacking a strawman. We were never talking about the total number of people in slums in Kenya. It was Kibera alone. Stop being stupid.

Don't be too much carried away with one way thinking, the report indicate there are over 2.5 million Kenyans citizens dwelling in that slums and they conclude that by such figure, kibera has the largest slum . and that is my point , and you come up stupidly discarding it with your 2019 report which does not give a factual evidence of such number. what you are doing is simply putting words to your national statistics by stating the slums dweller are less than 120 thousand. your national statistics didn't say so. you did..... so who is now grasping at straw .. ..

NairobiWalker:

African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC)

Population is not researched dude. Population is counted. The most accurate body is that that counts, not that that researches.

what a nuisance....Population study of that nature is concerned not only with the population variables but also with the relationship between population variables such as the social, economic, political, biological, genetic, geographical and the interrelationship between those variables. that is why it is called research....


per their Data , you can easily see It includes both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the kibera population....

NairobiWalker:
Population reduces and increases in some regions every year. Stop being stupid.............the people refuting were simply politicians being politicians and no politician wants to hear their voter stronghold region having lower population than the others so they complain.

Don't try to be half smart. your politicians are way smarter and know better than you, you can't tell me all of them will be that gullible to acknowledge such a cooked statistics

A trusted broadcasting corporation (BBC ) had broadcast it and cast doubt on the actual figure which means it wasn't just a beer parlour conversation. BBC has a reputation to protect....

NairobiWalker:
You are planning to go digital when we already went digital?

https://www.nation.co.ke/image/view/-/5254440/highRes/2433375/-/maxw/600/-/yascj7z/-/census.jpg

Are you trying to be stupid or what? population census is a ten years interval program in Ghana, you doing it a year before us doesn't make you special , it is like me saying we are the first country rolling it in west africa because by fate it is 2020 and falls to the last ten years we did it last .

The digital transformation going on in Ghana as we speak is unparalleled to anywhere in Africa not even south africa. we are issuing National Identification Cards with biometric identification for everybody in Ghana whether you are a foreign or indigenous Ghanaian you are going to be uniquely identified , we are conducting national houding digital addressing system which UK and USA we jealous . our DVLA( driving licence authority is going paperless, our port is fully Paperless.

we already launch an interoperability of a domestic payment system between the banks and the telecommunication companies so as to have financial inclusion across the country.


is that you want to compare? we are approaching a fully digitized economy very soon

samorobo:
I rebuke Nairobi...she is a disgrace...


Honestly from now on no Kenyan can talk to me about city ...This past few days has been an eye opener.....

So Nairobi is not even bigger than Lekki in lagos

This is why I said Accra isn't contestable. have you seen what I am saying regarding that....

NairobiWalker:
East Africa has got some fvcked up countries but it's common knowledge that West Africa can't hold a census successfully.

i repeat we conducted census in 2000, 2010 and now going digital in 2020. 40 million dollar has been set aside for that.. Ghana census can be Google online

Acadavah:
Don't worry about our population, a family in Tanzania have average of 4 kids and we have a land mass 4 times than Ghana. People here are not starving or running from their own country like you and you can look at Ghana's GDP price from world bank at this source from those years which you had doubt.

can anybody go thru this links for this illiterate TZ. he seems not to understand his own links....
