Do you blame them? Ghana knows that Nigeria is not a serious country so they too want to catch-in where they could just like China catches in from all fronts: electrical, plumbing, mechanical, different rechargable lights, flash-light phones, motorcycles even cars recently etc. India too catches in by introducing drugs and both Keke-Marwa and Napep. Remember Nigerians industries now relocates to that country in search of regular power supply. So by aiming to supply energy to Nigeria is in tune with realities. |

He came here to deliver a public lecture to crown the "Year of Ghana" country program, a year-long exploration of the history, culture, and peoples of Ghana through lectures, exhibitions, visits, etc. at KSU. When I got an invitation to attend the public lecture (which also featured a Question and Answer session), I was reluctant to go. I'd frankly grown tired of listening to witless buffoons from Africa coming to make a fool of themselves and their countries before Western audiences in the name of delivering public lectures. I didn't know what to expect of the Ghanaian president because I had no familiarity with his pedigree, so I chose to err on the side of cynicism. But a friend dragged me to the event at the last minute. I'm glad I attended it. President Mahama turned out to be one of the most inspiring and knowledgeable presidents one can ever wish to meet. ![]() His speech was about the "role of democratic governance in sustainable economic development in Ghana," but he veered off on high-minded intellectual excursions, on the discourses of Afro-pessimism; on the perniciousness of alterity; on the role of dominant historical narratives in the construction and reconstruction of the consciousness and image of a people, etc. The speech was certainly conscious of its audience because it read like a paper at an academic conference. Its profundity and high-flown, intellectually fashionable phraseology impressed students and professors alike. Well, you might say he didn't deserve much credit for the speech because it was written for him by his speech writers, but one couldn't help but admire the smoothness, naturalness, and rhetorical dexterity of his delivery. He was earnest, eloquent, and confident. But his true brilliance came out even more boldly during the question and answer session. He answered questions from professors and students with ease, grace, panache, depth, conviction, and creative humour. Everyone in the hall was bowled over by his brilliance, humility, and intellectual agility. This was evident from the rapturous applauses and good-hearted guffaws that greeted his responses to questions. I came away from the lecture proud of and overawed by the alertness and fecundity of the Ghanaian president's mind. ![]() While basking in the euphoric afterglow of the Ghanaian president's brilliant performance, I couldn't help recalling Nigeria's then Acting President Goodluck Jonathan's first official visit to America, which I wrote about in an April 17, 2010 article titled: "Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, that was Embarrassing." Among other things, I observed that in his speech and during the question and answer session at the Council on Foreign Relations, President Jonathan "couldn't articulate a coherent thought, hardly made a complete sentence, went off on inconsequential and puerile tangents, murdered basic grammar with reckless abandon, repeated trifles ad nauseam, was embarrassingly stilted, and generally looked and talked like a timid high school student struggling to remember his memorised lines in a school debate." I concluded that Jonathan "came across as unfathomably clueless." ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I certainly would never have attended the public lecture at my school-or anywhere else for that matter- if President Jonathan was the guest. I would never be able to survive the embarrassment of listening to a barely literate president who can't even read a speech much less answer unscripted questions from students and professors. President Mahama of Ghana has only a bachelor's degree while Nigeria's president claims to have a Ph.D. Nigerians like to describe ignorant people with grandiose paper qualifications as "educated illiterates." I've heard that phrase used several times to describe President Jonathan. Well, I think it is more appropriate to call him a highly credentialed ignoramus-if he indeed has a Ph.D.-than to call him an "educated illiterate; it is unfair to mention "educated" in the same sentence with "President Goodluck Jonathan." I know this sounds harsh, but it's true. I'm aware that the usual line of counter-attack from defenders of mediocrity in Nigeria would be that I am hung up on appearance at the expense of substance. Beautiful, confident verbal delivery is not a good measure of leaders' effectiveness. That is certainly true, except that President Jonathan, apart from being an inconceivably uninspiring and colorless president, is also notoriously ineffective. I would have been one of the staunchest defenders of his seeming illiteracy and depthlessness if he had a clue what governance entails. Alas, he does not; he has not the vaguest idea what it means to truly govern-much, to be fair to him, like many of his predecessors. So we have the tragedy of being burdened with a leader who neither inspires confidence nor knows what it means to lead. For inexplicable reasons, while Nigeria's elites have a habit of choosing the worst in their ranks to lead the country, Ghanaian elites are infinitely more discriminatory in their choice of leaders. I know of no Ghanaian leader in recent memory who isn't intelligent, inspiring, confident, and well-spoken. That's why Ghana has always been a far more progressive society than Nigeria. However much we might wish it weren't true; the reality is that there is a link between inspirational leadership and national growth. When will modern Nigeria produce an inspirational president, a president we all can be proud of anywhere? *Kperogi is an assistant professor of Journalism and Citizen Media, Kennesaw State University, Atlanta Georgia, United States. 1 Like |

Explicit01: Nigeria, one of Africa’s worst governed countries – Mo Ibrahim Governance Index ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() October 1, 2014 Ibanga Isine Nigeria has been rated one of the worst governed countries in Africa based on the 2014 Ibrahim Index of African Governance [IIAG], which was released on Monday. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In the report, obtained by PREMIUM TIMES, Nigeria is rated 45.8 per cent lower than the African average (51.5 per cent) and ranked 37th out of 52 in the overall governance scale. The country scored lower than the regional average for West Africa which stands at 52.2 percent and ranked 12th out of 15 in the region. While Nigeria got the damning rating by the IIAG, Mauritius is adjudged the best governed country in Africa, with 81.7 per cent, followed by Cape Verde, with 76.6 percent. IIAG is sponsored by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, MIF, a non-grant making organisation committed to defining, assessing and enhancing governance and leadership in Africa. It presents annual assessments of the quality of governance in African countries. It also provides the framework for citizens, governments, institutions and the private sector to assess accurately the delivery of public goods and services, and policy outcomes, across the continent. Other countries that made it to the top of the list included Botswana which is rated the third best governed country in the continent with 76.2 percent and South Africa which comes fourth with 73.3 percent. Ghana is rated 7th ![]() With a population of 173.6 million and population growth rate pegged at 2.8 percent, Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product, GDP, is put at $3013.3 USD, while inflation and unemployment rates stand at 8.5 percent and 13.7 percent, respectively. Nigeria also received appalling ratings in such categories such as safety and the rule of law where it is rated 44th with 38.1 per cent, 32nd in the rule of law with 41.0 percent and 30th in accountability with 36.6 percent. The country got its lowest rating in personal safety where it is ranked 49th with 16.5 per cent and second lowest in national security where it is ranked 48th with 58.2 per cent. Under participation and human rights, the country is rated 26th with 46.9 per cent, 31th on sustainable economic opportunity with 43.3 per cent and 34th in human development with 53.0 per cent. The Founder and Chair, Mo Ibrahim Foundation, Mo Ibrahim said the 2014 IIAG has revealed discrepancies in governance performance between countries and within the four conceptual categories. “More than ever, these discrepancies call for an Afro-realist approach, which tempers historical Afro-pessimism and current Afro-optimism,” Mr. Ibrahim said. To have a true grasp of African realities, he argued that one must reject the “one-size-fits-all” attitude, which he said, reduces the continent geographically or governance conceptually, in favour of a more granular approach. 2 Likes |

You Nigerians disturb yourself, so they said they want to export 2,000 MW of electricity to Nigeria, so what? In this modern age of economic liberation and boom, a country that should be focused on using that electricity for manufacturing rather export it and rather allow the citizens to continue to wallow in their misery. Like 3,000 MW is much of electricity if Ghana were heavily invested in production...Abegi, export it to Nigeria... Nothing happen.

Re: Ghana's Laughable Offer by VoteOutPDPJona: 5:49am On Oct 15, 2014 |
However, it is a reflection of how badly Nigeria has descended into the pit of underdevelopment such that countries that have not attended to their own problems would be offering to help it solve its problems. Ghana would not be offering export of electricity to Nigeria if better placed in terms of electricity access than Nigeria. In spite of the resources available in Nigeria, it is regrettable that more than 60 per cent of Nigerians lack access to electricity and the country is yet to sustain a generation capacity of 5,000 MW of electricity. |
