This is so absurd!

I agree with you......but if your dad have landed property in Accra. I am sure you will welcome the development.

mtisTheQubit:
That absurd i tell you...paying a guy a two-year rent...
Thats alot of money wasted..a guy can starta side hustle with that money...
Question vaxx...What happens to anew employee who just happens to have joined the workforce...does he ask for yearly-pay to pay for the house or what..am serious..

currently, this kind of billing is commonly find in Accra and maybe Takoradi( but not so common). A new employee is expected to be savvy of the system. well it is easy for you, if you grow up in Accra, majority knows their way.

it is normal you see the landlord complaining. of the high cost of land, building materials and Accra, being the Capital as the major factor.

Jonraid:
You mean a furnished house/home. Well even for those we do pay in a monthly basis. Why is that the case in Accra? Is it because of your regulations or ?

Home I mean. it is just the absent of proper regulation( which landlord are enjoying)Although the law requires tenants to pay advance rent of up to 6 months, most landlords demand 2-years’ rent advance before tenants can occupy their property.

mtisTheQubit:
What about Ghana?

it depends on your location . but in case of Accra . it is even worst . some charge for even two years and in case you want to pay monthly in some eyebrow area, be expected to pay high. but this kind of house comes with everything. You don't need to bring in a pen. this is not to say you can get a monthly house in Accra but very hard I must say.

mtisTheQubit:
We pay monthly but if you want you can pay even year...but the idea of forcing one to pay a house yearly is absurd..

I think you are doing better in this area, same also in cote devoire .

mtisTheQubit:
Weird stuff from Nigeria....

Do you know you pay for whole year rent for a house in Nigeria... thats just money being wasted..you can invest an gain more...

In kenya, is monthly payment allowed?

thebosstrevor:
from what you wrote down, Nigeria is this way, is because of lack of smart leaders and also citizens

if citizens cant remove leaders that are not smart even though they are suffering, are the citizens smart?

You just need leadership to make the process but you also need the citizens to take initiatives to better their lives

Nigeria is simply the way it is because of her constitution.

Leadership is a combination of executive and legislative. leadership is staffed by citizens, but it is not the citizens. The “people” or “society” are metaphors, abstractions but not real things; the government is a real thing.

The people created the goverment, the goverment are the created. Nigeria leadership smartness assessment can be find in her constitution.

thebosstrevor:
Most countries with full government interference in all activities arent developed, central planning is dangerous to development,

Government interference lead to low economic output, people will lack the incentive to work.

Absolutely this is a warped thinking. The leadership pattern of a country determine the country readiness to productivity and progress. That is the essence of national development

Every developed nation have their own national development plan . from education down to health, infrastructure and anything that needs to do with human progress and co -existence needs to do with leadership.

AntiWailer:
Which Nigeria is not developed ?

Tell me about the banking system in Europe and use of technology and compare to ours.

What is wrong with Europe banking system. is there any Africa banking system that beat off Sweden, Luxemburg or Canada?

samorobo:

why do you open your 32?. is it Dubai or your thought of it been impossible?

samorobo:
I am sorry but alien certificate are useless here in Nigeria except it emanates from another continent outside Africa with the exception of northern African(particularly Egypt) unis and maybe SA

look, instead of sarcastically repeating what is not true, you should be more worried about Nigeria constant failure to arrest the insecurity going on in the country educational system. just of recent, About six school children and two staff were kidnapped in a school in kaduna and the kidnapper are crurrently demanding for ransom now. what a mess to education stability. No single parent who has a capacity to fly his ward abroad will still keep his kids in Nigeria educational system . ( Your vice president and president kids are living testament of this ) They are all educated abroad.

AskiaHarem:
Is it though? Also are they "quality" and "affordable", never saw a single one of these wagons riding around in Ghana.

it is not only limited to Ghana. it is available in Liberia too. and plan to enter other country as well. now available in Dubai.

AskiaHarem:
Cool story let us no when you start producing affordable quality vehicles of your own.

read some interesting news about Ghana indigenous car....

Kantanka to produce electric cars by December – CEO
October 3, 2019
Indigenous car maker Kantanka says it is poised to manufacture electric cars before the end of this year.

Chief Executive Officer, Kwadwo Safo Kantanka Junior says the move is to further prove to Ghanaians and the world that they are capable to stand the innovation competition on the global stage.

Speaking to Bola Ray on Starr Chat Wednesday, Mr. Safo said the company is expanding to other parts of the world with a new office in Dubai.

“By the end of this year, Kantanka will build electric cars that could travel between Accra to Kumasi before recharge. We intend to do that before this year ends.

“Our company is fast growing and currently we have another headquarters at Dubai and the challenge there is healthy for us because they understand luxury and that is good for us,” he said.

Kantanka Automobile Company Limited is a subsidiary of the Kantanka Group of Companies founded by Kwadwo Sarfo Kantanka, the founder and leader of Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana.

The company was later incorporated as a limited liability company in 2001 with the main objective to research into the manufacturing of automotive components and their combination with other parts outsourced from component suppliers to form a complete built unit.

Kantanka vehicles are assembled in Ghana from CKD (Complete Knock Down) kits supplied by a Chinese firm, possible Foday through Chongqing Big Science & Technology.

When we tell olodo Nigerians to get serious ,read their books, pass their numerous exams and get into Nigerian unis they won't listen.. Except you are schooling outside SSA (even SA certificate sometimes are rejected) your certificate will be useless the minute you step into Nigeria..
Sorry girl but you brought this upon yourselves, sadly you will have to start all over

https://www.nairaland.com/5450880/lady-denied-nysc-certificate-schooling

Your choice of speaking ignorantly always force me to respond to you by correcting your assumptions. Benin republic certificate is not useless in Nigeria, what is useless in Nigeria is unaccredited institution in benin republic and a bogus colledge degree from the country which the same thing all over the world. Any unverified degree is to be evaluated from Nigeria ministry of education which in turn will be presented to nysc for mobilization if it indeed verified.

i am proud to attend the same school with Nigeria former chief justice( Samuel onnoghen) we are proud Ghanaian product.


many noble Nigerians today are Ghanaian academic product. either thru the basic education or higher institution.

theenchanter:
why would i block ur post? u still believe i'm a mod?

U're posting a lot of false information jare. I guess that's d reason u were banned OR u've disobeyed a rule.

Even when it is obvious your post was full of misconception and egoistic claim. you weren't banned for that? I don't belive you are a mod , i know you banned my moniker anyway(that is the diffrence).

As a i said, this is disappointing.

theenchanter:
ur post is symmetrical to many media outlets, no diff... make d headline juicy, first paragraph/line OK and then lots of crap.

And yes, ur govt sent envoys to some african nations to "beg" (if thats ur problem). I don't want to dabble into ur internal affair but many immigrants biz are not insured all over d world cos their biz are mostly infinitesimal and don't pay taxes too. u can say ur govt is using that as a smokescreen from ur real problems BUT ur people are fond of this horrible habit against other african nationals ever since i can remember, ur people instigated d attack, not ur govt, it's ur people's character, not ur govt... ur people are just filled with inferiority complex and doesn't hesitate to blame others for their problems, c'est fini.

And if u want people out of ur territory, u do that in a diplomatic manner, like deporting d illegals, making ur visa application strict and so on.. not behaving like barbarians.

The rest of ur hogwash in this first part is baseless.

u saffers are d most ignorant set of people in the continent, most of u don't even know jack about d continent. Nigerians in ur country are not up to 10% of ur nonsense. Ur remaining rants are baseless too... i'm sure u'll still go to other countries internet platform to spill this nonsense about their nationals in ur country without asking urself d salient question "why is it always SA with xenophobia"?

Why do you have to block my post and moniker yesterday from commenting on this thread ? so you are not mature yet to face critiques even when it punched you on the face.

You remain a disappointment guy.

Kazikazi:
I read that thread long ago! I was tempted to comment. But I decided to not place my comments. My surprise was,Why was it like a big news? I thought it was nothing unusual about scrapping visa on arrival.But since we are not like Kenyans who always want to comment on international forums,we decided to leave it.

The funny thing is the ban on visa arrival came at a when ""visa openness is dominating diplomatic and social media discussions in africa .news. An Tanzania an african country is imposing visa requirements for another . Is this is not a setback, however one looks at it.""

Kazikazi:
[b]Yes,Tanzania supported Biafra in the 60's. [/b]But that is not the case currently. We have changed somehow on our international policies.

We were supporting western Sahara.But we currently don't support them.we are dining with Morocco.

We terminated ties with Israel. But currently, we opened our embassy in Israel.

We were not in close relation with Germany, but currently, that is our closest European ally.I can safely say,most of Europeans who are leaving in Tz are Germans

Good .... Julius nyere of Tanzania was highly romancing with ojuukwu the war lord of the biafra republic. Instead of a peace broker, Tanzania was a warmongering.


Tanzanian close visa on arrival for Nigeria, kenya relax her visa PROCESS. Kenya in objective terms is more friendly to Nigeria than Tanzania.

It's sickening and very dumb when I hear people who actually claim to have a brain say that and am like WTF,Lagos is not a country for it to have an economy or much more a GDP.It's a dead end when you tryna argue with a. Nigerian who is blinded with politics.You know what they do,I have studied that all the Nigerians on this thread support the current party in power.They forget the guy who actually created this whole thread is a Nigerian himself and thus the burden of proof lies on them to prove to other Nigerians that although Nigeria is a shitthole and highly disturbed,it's not that bad as some may perceive it buh the funny thing is some six ignorant Nigerians who still clutch to the last straws try to take the wrong people on which are the Kenyans,Ghanaians and South Africans.About the Tanzanian,they understandably have an old bone to crush with the Kenyans since they are neighbouring countries with good and bad experiences together and we can give them that space or privacy which the nigerians try to capitalize on Kazikazi's claim about Kenya which cannot be substantiated buh due to Nigeria's zero knowledge about the Wakanda of Africa,they tend to follow Kazi's claim blindly.I [b]can create an indemnity between the Nigerians and Tanzania by revealing how Tanzania and the rest of Africa view and detest their numerous negative lifestyles thus Tanzania revoking the Visa on arrival status for Nigerians buh it's not necessary to delve on that par[/b]t.

Just to top it again. Tanzania is not even interested in United Nigeria, the country was seriously aligning with biafra republic to have Nigeria disintegrated in 1960s. But kazikazi will not tell them the truth. They are more Nigerians in kenya than in Tanzania due to kenya easy visa process for Africans.




Ghana role in uniting Nigeria till date will forever remain in history....

What an hypocrisy......most NIGERIA think they have enough resource for the so called number of 201 million people....

If Ghana and the rest of Africa adopts Buhari Government's trade restrictions, Nigerians economy will suffer. Simply because there will be shortages and demand will pull inflation. Their currency will depreciate further against the leading currencies and gradually the economy will begin to feel the impact. Nigeria had courted the idea for a long time to promote their local industries, but the ripple effect deterred previous governments. Though we all need each other in the sub region and promoting trade within the sub region is been encouraged but Buhari think stopping it is the right choice.


Ghana is the largest trade patner of Nigeria in west africa sub region and among top 10 in the world which shows both the country need each other. And this illiterate will come here to show their illiteracy that Ghana economy is at the mercy hand of Nigerians.

chrisagyei:
of course,if they want to tell us that Lagos is almost the same as Ghana's entire population then they should be prepared to receive the disadvantages and backlash of an overpopulated country.Imagine the population of Nigeria exceeding USA and being number 4 or so most populous country with about 400 million Nigerians buh the landsize of Nigeria is slightly larger than Texas which is just one state out if over 50 states in the USA.The GPD of Switzerland is currently over 700 billion us dollars buh their population is around 8 million people compared to Nigeria with a 200 million population and a GDP of 395 billion us dollars in 2018.I read the state budget of Lagos state pinned at 2.5 billion us dollars with a population of about 25 million and Ghana's budget of 15 billion dollars for a country of 29 million people.These same people will disgracefully say Lagos GDP is bigger than Ghana buh just look at the budget.The annoying part is the Nigerian national budget is 25 billion dollars for 200 million people.Ghana's HIV positive patients is less than 250,000 people compared to their 1.4 million HIV positive patients in Nigeria

one of the way you identify illiterate Nigeria on this kind of comparism is when he or she says lagos GDP is bigger than Ghana. Just excuse him or better still turn it to unproductive discussion. He absolutely lack the concept of the debate.

chrisagyei:
the only gays on this thread are those two dudes called GayCunt and obadorome or whatever that transgendered is called.He actually loves and discusses about lady's handbags,ladies dresses and ladies wears in other threads,Vaxx is a man that attended a Boys only school.Accra Academy which is a renounced and ivy league school in Ghana.Just take a look at this skinny gay dude.,lolzzz,I mean how can this stupid village gay boy talk negative about Ghana(The Black Star of Africa)upon the massive progress,respect,love and development that we have and how the rest of Mama Africa sees us,except some jealous Nigerians of course.This stupid boy who never brushes his rotten teeths opens his smelly Minna buccal cavity and speaks ill of such a Historic and progressive country,I mean,just look at it,sorry him or her or whatever.Am waiting for the time when the Niger bandits or Boko haram will kidnap his whole family including his gay ass,then your lifeless president will not even show a little sign of concern or life,hahaha

The idiot is asking me to support my evidence when he can easily access search engine in his confinement). The figure of 1.9 million means Nigeria only beat south Africa, Mozambique and India in absolute number . And if we go by unaids assessment. India is not epidemic becuse it has a prevalent rate far below the treshold rate of 1% at 0.3 . Making Nigeria the third epidemic country with the disease in the world .

chrisagyei:
so are you telling us that Ghana has more HIV positive patients than Nigeria?How do you people see Ghana at all,,am getting tired of this crap

The idiot was at once suggesting if Ghana has a prevalent rate of 1.6 in 2015 and Nigeria rate was 1.4 in 2019 then there is no corroborating evidence that Ghana has less hiv rate because it is increasing in Ghana and decreasing in Nigeria.

theenchanter:
na thunder go strike u for where u dey. The last time u had an hiv survey in Ghana was 2015, n I quoted their stats rather than unverified ones from unverified sources. I didn't quote a recent stat cos its unavailable, when will u receive sense?

Bring where it's stated that nigeria is d fourth, failure to provide it shows u're still a gay.

May the MALADY and MISFORTUNE of life be yours and your entire household as you posted this. Seal.

I am not spoonfeeding you idiot. And mind you, there already exist figures for Hiv infected patient living in Ghana in 2019. The absolute figure is below 321 THOUSAND.....


So you think 2015 statistics can be used to judged 2019 . How foolish can you be. I think your stupidity is legendary.

theenchanter:
why convince urself d inconvincible? U've been shouting upandan like a rampaging storm, why do sudden silence?

Failure to prove ur point when needed shows u're nothing but a worthless gay.

calling vaxx2 a gay""` only expresses your defect, any evidence to substantiate your allegation? if not, we know where you belongs to.

ABUJA/GENEVA, 14 March 2019—Results released today by the Government of Nigeria indicate a national HIV prevalence in Nigeria of 1.4% among adults aged 15–49 years. Previous estimates had indicated a national HIV prevalence of 2.8%. UNAIDS and the National Agency for the Control of AIDS estimate that there are 1.9 million people living with HIV in Nigeria.

Speaking in Abuja, Nigeria, the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, welcomed the news that there are fewer people living with HIV in the country than previously estimated and launched the Revised National HIV and AIDS Strategic Framework 2019–2021, which will guide the country’s future response to the epidemic. Nigeria has made good progress in scaling up HIV treatment and prevention services in recent years.

"For the first time, the end of AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 is truly in sight for our country,” said H.E. Muhammadu Buhari, President of Nigeria. “I urge all of us not to relent but to increase the momentum. Let us work collectively and push for the last mile.”

The data from the Nigeria National HIV/AIDS Indicator and Impact Survey (NAIIS) are based a revised and enhanced methodology. The survey provides a clearer understanding of Nigeria’s HIV epidemic and shines a light on progress and the remaining gaps and challenges.

The Executive Director of UNAIDS, Michel Sidibé, welcomed the new estimates and said the improved understanding of the country’s HIV epidemic would allow Nigeria to better reach people living with HIV and people at higher risk of acquiring HIV.

“I commend the Government of Nigeria and its partners for conducting this ambitious survey, which provides us with a much better understanding of the country’s HIV epidemic,” said Mr Sidibé. “While it is fantastic news that there are fewer people living with HIV in Nigeria than previously thought, we must not let down our guard. Let us use the results of this survey to better focus our delivery of HIV prevention, treatment and care services to the people in the greatest need and ensure that Nigeria gets on track to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030.”

While Nigeria’s national HIV prevalence is 1.4% among adults aged 15–49 years, women aged 15–49 years are more than twice as likely to be living with HIV than men (1.9% versus 0.9%.) The difference in HIV prevalence between women and men is greatest among younger adults, with young women aged 20–24 years more than three times as likely to be living with HIV as young men in the same age group. Among children aged 0–14 years, HIV prevalence according to the new data is 0.2%. Significant efforts have been made in recent years to stop new HIV infections among children.

At the national level, viral suppression among people living with HIV aged 15–49 years stands at 42.3% (45.3% among women and 34.5% among men). When people living with HIV are virally suppressed they remain healthy and transmission of the virus is prevented.

The improved understanding of the country’s HIV epidemic will allow for more efficient investments in the response to HIV and more effective planning for the provision of HIV prevention, care and treatment services, including a focus on key populations, such as female sex workers. It will permit the adoption of a population–location approach to deliver services to the people and areas where they are most needed.

The new data differentiate HIV prevalence by state, indicating an epidemic that is having a greater impact in certain areas of the country. The South-South zone of the country has the highest HIV prevalence, at 3.1% among adults aged 15–49 years. HIV prevalence is also high in the North Central zone (2.0%) and in the South East zone (1.9%). HIV prevalence is lower in the South West zone (1.1%), the North East zone (1.1%) and the North West zone (0.6%).

“The Nigeria National HIV/AIDS Indicator and Impact Survey (NAISS) findings provide Nigeria with an accurate national HIV prevalence measure of 1.4%. NAIIS also showed we are able to effectively provide antiretroviral treatment,” said Isaac F. Adewole, Nigeria’s Minister of Health. “Everyone infected with HIV needs to get treatment so they can achieve viral suppression, especially pregnant women. We must ensure pregnant women have access to antenatal services and are tested during every pregnancy. We know we can support HIV-positive mothers, hence ensuring the next generation is free from HIV.”

Nigeria has shown steady progress on increasing access to treatment for people living with HIV, with the adoption of a test and treat policy in 2016. This measure has further accelerated referrals to treatment facilities for people who test positive for the virus. From 2010 to 2017, the country almost tripled the number of people living with HIV having access to antiretroviral therapy, up from 360 000 people in 2010 to more than 1 million people in 2018. However, the new estimates released today indicate that more than half of people living with HIV still do not have suppressed viral loads.

The new data are more accurate as they are based on an expanded surveillance system and a revised and enhanced methodology. In recent years, there has been a significant expansion in the country’s response to HIV. The number of sites providing treatment has more than tripled, the number of sites providing services to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV has increased eightfold and the number of HIV counselling and testing sites has increased fourfold. A total of 11.3 million adults were counselled and tested for HIV in 2016, four times as many as in 2012.

“It is important that all people living with HIV get treatment and achieve viral suppression. To halt the epidemic, we need to act now,” said Sani Aliyu, Director-General of the National Agency for the Control of AIDS. “As a government working with our partners, we have what it takes to support people who are HIV-positive, to provide treatment, to protect their families and to help people live long and healthy lives.”

The NAIIS was led by the Government of Nigeria through the Federal Ministry of Health and the National Agency for the Control of AIDS. UNAIDS, the United States President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria provided support for the work on the survey, which was overseen by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and implemented by the University of Maryland, Baltimore, with a scope that included all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria. The survey reached around 220 000 people in about 100 000 households. Fieldwork was conducted between July and December 2018.



UNAIDS

The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) leads and inspires the world to achieve its shared vision of zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths. UNAIDS unites the efforts of 11 UN organizations—UNHCR, UNICEF, WFP, UNDP, UNFPA, UNODC, UN Women, ILO, UNESCO, WHO and the World Bank—and works closely with global and national partners towards ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030 as part of the Sustainable Development Goals.

So your stupid brother knows this exist earlier and he was stupidly using 2015 rate against Ghana.

And to your suprise, Nigeria was just place behind south africa, Mozambique and india. Making it the number 4 highest country with people living with HIV. Meanwhile india is not epidemic as it has a way below threshold that is far below 1% . A rate at 0. 3 far better than america and per with france. . In logics, i am not wrong to say Nigeria just move from second position to third position epedimc country with HIV rate in the whole world.
