nigeria became a full democracy by the first republic in 1953 in preparation to independence. by then your progenitors were still wielding spears in the jungle..

Military rule is not democracy dummy. That's why 1999 is considered your first democratic elections.

Mzilikazi after 55 years of FUCKERY THEYR STILL POOR AND CONFUSED...All they do is feed their masses lies.
Look at their middle class was EXPOSED BY STANDARD BANK AFRICA AND WOOLWORTHS who bleeped off Nigeria after seeing that their middle class base was a LIE. JUST EMPTY LIE. STANDARD BANK AFRICA AND WORLD BANK FOLLOWED UP AND RELIAZED AFRICA HAS A SMALLER MIDDLE CLASS THAN THOUGHT. Yes North Africa and Southern Africa have a bigger middle class when we use WORLD STANDARDS.

Dick heads didn't ask themselves where their middle class lived. AN "MSC URBAN DESIGN AND REGIONAL PLANNING/SPECIALIZING IN HOUSING GRAD". Can tell u straight that Nigeria is far BEHIND IN HOUSING FROM LOWER CLASS TO UPPER CLASS THEY'RE BEHIND.

Last year we did a research on AFRICAN HUMAN SETTLEMENTS and were shiocked to find out that most sub saharn countries still have huge HOUSING BACKLOGS.

Ghana is another FAILED STATE. ANGOLA is far better than them in everything....Ghana got her independence in 1956 and Kwame Nkrumah took over and made WRONG ECONOMIC DECISIONS. Did u know Ghana was APARTHEID's biggest trade partner under Nkrumah even with that their economy shrunk and their citizens fled the country and looked for greener pastures elsewhere.

As a Southern African am PROUD OF ANGOLA!!!!!!VIVA LE ANGOLANOS!!!!! they rose a war to be the where theyr are today. Today theyr better off than they were under the Portugese, infact some Portugese are applying for Angolan citizenship in Lisbon..

SOUTHERN AFRICAN MENTALITY. AM GLAD ANGOLA IS USING S.A. ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS ON THEIR DEVELOPMENTS. actually they fought together with our brothers in Angola against SADF and won. ANGOLANS BLED FOR SOUTH AFRICANS.

FORCA ANGOLA!!!!!!!!!!FORCA!!!!!! GOOD TO HAVE NEIGHBOURS LIKE THEM AND BOTSWANA,NAIMBIA AND ZIM,MOZAMBIQUE.
Ghana is NOTHING TO ANGOLA they are small in LAND AREA, far inferior economically and infrastructurally.

Mzilikazi
Nigeria is going to continue LOSING CLIENTS in the oil and gas business because of the recent oil and gas discoveries around the world. UK has recently discovered 100 billion barrels of oil and US has huge oil reserves. East and Southern Africa are rising and NEW GAME CHANGERS IN THE OIL BUSINESS IN AFRICA. They're likely to serve the ASIA trade since theyr geographically closer to Asia.. SA is located in the PERFECT SPOT and will trade with both ASIA AND WEST. The south coast near PE has over 5 billion barrels of untapped oil.

SA MIDDLE CLASS VS OTHER SUB SAHARAN MIDDLE CLASS. Note that our middle class has risen since 2011.

am happy for places like SOWETO. The have many developments happening now like Masingita city (mixed development commercial and industrial dev.) and the recent R90 Million rugby stadium and social housing.

Punky this 9Housing) exposed their middle class..

Angola stick with SA ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS WE WILL MAKE U FAMOUS... award winning Luanda arena theres nothing like this in west africa.

ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT FROM ANGOLA WITH S.A TOUCH. I was watching African soccer television last night and was happy to see Libolo playing in this stadium...FORCA ANGOLA!!!!!!

Ghana’s economy is worth $37.5bn ( smaller than Cape Town's,Durban GDP). Their middle class is too small for the likes of McDonald’s and Nandos, but incentive enough for local restaurateurs. Video: Reuters

Yet an ordinary Ghanaian lives better than Angolan. A place where they just keep building and building with no direction. Most of the cities are ghost towns with no citizens because they can't afford. Apart from Angolas oil base economy, what else do they have going for them. Stupid xenophobic fool

You call Mozambique, Zambians, and others your brothers but you continue to kill them.

Your GDP and land area are inferior to Angola. Note: soon Angola will soon overtake you in HDI Index you're not ashamed of comparin yourself with former wartone country ROBERT MUGABE SAID KWAME NKRUMAH WAS A BAD ECONOMIST. He failed Ghana, after over 58 years Ghana still a MIDEGT IN AFRICA.

Show us any Ghanaian city thats better than Luanda PITCH BLACK STINKING FILTHY LOSER from Nkrumahs gutter. Pitch black charcoal chimpanzee.

Southern Africans are linked by language, culture and bloodline. We're brothers even if we fight sometimes. Good example is that of that guy who was killed in Alex hes a ZULU DESCENDANT(Shangaan) from Mozambique those Ghanaians who can speak SA languages might tell his name and surname is South African.

THIS IS UNKNOWN BY SOUTH AFRICANS. The pitch black souls sold u out. Yes Mugabe knew about this.

Nkrumah Traded with Apartheid South Africa!
Previous | Next

The last thing that anybody wants to be drawn into on the eve of one's birthday, and in the middle of a handsome breakfast, is a pointless debate regarding whether Dr. Joseph (Kwame Kyeretwie) Boakye-Danquah, the putative Doyen of Gold Coast and Ghanaian politics, as well as the nominal Father of modern Ghana and founder of Ghana's flagship academy, the University of Ghana, is greater than Mr. Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of Ghana and founder of the Convention People's Party (CPP).

First of all, we must hasten to note that without the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC), co-founded by Dr. Danquah and Mr. George Alfred (Paa) Grant, there would likely not have existed any political party called “Convention” People's Party, a veritable derivative and institutional offshoot of the UGCC. And, it is worthwhile noting that Nkrumah himself fully recognized this incontrovertibly historical fact well enough, thus his proud and routine acknowledgement of the fact of him having made a seminal contribution to the country's development through his, admittedly, remarkable role as both an organizer and General-Secretary of the United Gold Coast Convention.

Furthermore, long before Nkrumah arrived in London from the United States and enlisted himself into the executive membership of the West African Students' Union (WASU), the seminal training ground for many of the prominent leaders of the African liberation movement, the shortly to become “Dr.” J. B. Danquah, foremost John Stuart Mill Scholar in the Philosophy of the Logic of the Mind, having also won a gold medal for the same from the University of London, had been elected as First President of the West African Students' Union.

And so, in essence, the scandalous notion making the shameless rounds among members of the Nkrumaist circle in Ghana, to the damnable effect that beyond Ghana's colonialist territorial boundaries, the Doyen of Gold Coast and Ghanaian politics was, literally, at sea, must be squarely envisaged for what it primarily is; and the latter is patently integral to the sacrilegious fabric and chimerical lunacy of the nescient Nkrumaist fanatics.

What is also significant to stress is the fact that in 1930, while on his deathbed, Mr. Joseph Ephraim Casely-Hayford, founder of the National Congress of British West Africa (NCBWA), father of CPP stalwart Mr. Archie Casely-Hayford, envisaged Dr. Danquah as the one Ghanaian (Gold Coaster then) who was singularly qualified to pilot the Ghanaian ship of state into the heady, albeit murky, waters of independence, thus his solemn knighting of Dr. Danquah as a perfect replacement for the dying Mr. J. E. Casely-Hayford.

In sum, had Dr. Danquah been woefully possessed of a parochial political perspective, in all likelihood, Mr. Casely-Hayford would have anointed another Ghanaian in his stead; and to be certain, there was hardly any shortage of formidable Ghanaian intellectuals to readily assume Mr. Casely-Hayford's august and progressive leadership mantle.

Unless one has the stamina and is willing, such as this writer has done during the course of the last several years, to spend marathon midnight oil-burning sessions in order to excavate and thoroughly examine the epic breadth of Danquah's polymathic genius, as exemplified in his documents and artistry, of course, one would be tragically doomed to slavishly and oafishly lap up nescient Cii-Pii-Pii propaganda against the unimpeachable scholastic pragmatism of the Doyen of Gold Coast and Ghanaian politics as constituting all that there is to the man.

Indeed, if the man has not been fittingly accorded his due, even under the aegis of the Danquah-leaning Kufuor Administration, it is primarily because so blistering had Nkrumaist propaganda been that until very recently, one could hardly Google the name of Dr. J. B. Danquah and be lucky to come up with even one-hundred hits! Still, just like the “Truth” that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., repeatedly and consistently adumbrated, the ideological hangmen and undertakers of Dr. Danquah, particularly the moral righteousness for which he stood, were, thankfully, only able to inter (or bury) the flesh and bones of the man, not his eudaemonius spirit of statesmanship and exemplary leadership in the realm of African Nationalism.

Perhaps the vacuously loud micro-nationalist critic who presumed to cavalierly impugn the pan-Africanist credentials of the Doyen of Gold Coast and Ghanaian politics had better be referred to the famous Egyptian Epic Drama, in which the immortalized President Julius Nyerere, of Tanzania, ripped his prepared speech apart and mordantly lit into Africa's so-called Man-of-Destiny in Cairo, during the teething days of the erstwhile Organization of African Unity (OAU).

For those of our readers who may not be aware of the foregoing landmark event, it had to squarely do with Mr. Nyerere's unmistakable recognition of Mr. Nkrumah's overweening ambition to assume the neo-Garveyite mantle of Emperor of a United States of New Africa. President Nyerere readily saw through the shameless transparency of Nkrumah's bid to upstage his executive peers and promptly put the Nkroful native in his place.

But what is even more significant about Egypt's Epic Drama is Mr. Nyerere's blunt, albeit salutary, enlightenment of the African Show Boy to the fact of the ideal objective of Pan-Africanism being collective and integral to the Blydenian concept of the African Personality. In other words, for President Nyerere, no single African leader reserved the right to foist the collective Pan-Africanist agenda on another, while also mischievously and mendaciously pretending to have copyrighted the ideology of Pan-Africanism as his personal property.

What is also tragically embarrassing is the predictable fact of the fanatical Nkrumaists' flat refusal to recognize the grim fact of Nkrumah having probably remarkably retarded the Anti-Apartheid liberation struggle by electing to consort with white-ruled and racist South Africa as Ghana's largest trading partner on the African continent during the CPP's dictatorial tenure (see Kwame Arhin's The Life And Work of Kwame Nkrumah).

What is also epically unflattering to well-meaning Ghanaians is Nkrumah's benighted refusal to financially support Nelson Mandela's African National Congress (ANC) in the early 1960s, when the future Nobel Peace Prize Laureate visited Ghana, among several African countries, to solicit material assistance for the vigorous prosecution of the Anti-Apartheid liberation struggle. Nkrumah had recently been knighted as “Moscow's Most Obedient Servant” by being awarded the LENIN PRIZE. It was Dr. Danquah's tragic mistake in taking up Nkrumah's bait of a guest-invitation that firmly laid the groundwork for the Doyen's prison assassination by President Kwame Nkrumah! (See Inquest into Dr. Danquah's Death at the Nsawam Medium-Security Prison).

Back then, Nkrumah preferred to throw his neo-imperialist support behind Mr. Sobukwe's Pan-Africanist Movement (PAM). And not only did President Nkrumah adamantly refuse to grant audience to Mr. Mandela, he also rather arrogantly, ignorantly and self-righteously characterized the leaders of the ANC in much the same manner as the Show Boy envisaged the Danquah Tradition. Thus, it came as hardly any surprise that President Nkrumah and Ghana, the so-called Lodestar of Africa, did not make the “visionary” and heroic list of staunch supporters of the Anti-Apartheid movement in Mr. Mandela's maiden post-prison speech.

Ultimately, we can only speak to the foresighted genius of the immortalized Doyen of Gold Coast and Ghanaian politics. No doubt, Mr. Kwame Nkrumah has more than his fair share of fiery propagandists at his beck, even posthumously.

There are many countries in Europe we can use as yardsticks to measure our progress. What do we stand to gain from modeling a country which is itself representative to what we come to know as disaster. The only thing that Nigeria is ahead of in relation to South Africa is the economic figures and nothing else. The economic figures is unfortunately something you cannot see or touch. Tell us what is so special about Nigeria that South Africa will die to model?

you keep taking my bait.

(1)Nigerians are the most entrepreneural people in africa

( 2) Nigeria is the spiritual headquarters of africa( with the synagouge alone morphing into a pilgrimage status)

3) Nigeria is the entertainment headquarters of Africa

(4) Nigeria is home to the highest number of millionares and billionaires in Africa.

(5) We are NO1 economic giants in africa bleeping you to no 2


6) we are your superiors in sports (dont mention water sports your white masters help you ij.)

7) south africa isnt even number 2 in africa, she is an overhyped creeping dog who dwells on the achievment of 5% dutch population..

What did your fathers build in South Africa ?

The 2014 Millionaire Race: Study shows MINTS displaces BRICs countries
Posted by -

In 2014, the MINT countries (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, Turkey), will surpass the BRICSs (Brazil, Russia, India, China) in the world race for millionaires, according to a new study by SPEAR’s magazine and WealthInsight, a London-based research service.
The MINT countries as a whole will perform better than both the BRICs and the G8 (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, UK and the U.S.), according to the study. In the list of countries set to create the most millionaires this year, the MINTs are posed to rank within the top eight, WealthInsight said.
Led by Indonesia, which is expected to see a 22% increase in the number of millionaires this year, the list is followed by Nigeria with a 10% increase, Turkey with a 8.5% increase and Mexico with a 7% increase. Both acronyms –BRICs and MINTs– were coined by British economist Jim O’Neill, an ex-Goldman Sachs employee.
The definition of “millionaires”, referred to in WealthInsight’s lexicon as “high net worth individuals” or ‘HNWIs’, are individuals with net assets of US$1 million or more, excluding their primary residences.
In numerical terms, Mexico’s 7% millionaire growth translates into 10,150 more millionaires in 2014 than in 2013, when Mexico had 145,000 millionaires, according to WealthInsight.
The forecast is sure to stir the debate in Mexico on income inequality. According to the OECD, Mexico is by far the most unequal country in the organization which Mexico joined in 1994. Mexico’s inequality is three times the OECD’s average.
José Angel Gurría, former Mexican Finance Minister and current Secretary General of the OECD, said recently that the very rich in Mexico earn nine times more than the poorest people.
In a recent article in Spain’s El País, Mexican historian Enrique Krauze rejected the idea of Mexico as “the new China,” and described Mexico as a country with whole regions currently under the power of organized crime, unending political discord among political actors and lost opportunities.
In a statement released January 16, Oliver Williams, a wealth consultant with WealthInsight, explained: “There is a new class of wealthy emerging in the MINT countries, which is going to grow very rapidly.
This huge wealth surge happening in the MINT countries now mirrors the BRICs ten or fifteen years ago. The only difference is the new Mexican, Indonesian, Nigerian and Turkish millionaire is likely to be much younger due to the demographics of these countries.”
However, there are risks that come with extreme wealth, warned Williams: “Many countries, such as Nigeria, have seen a rise in poverty alongside an increasing millionaire population. Large inequality is a hallmark of the BRICs which could also become a feature of the MINTs if corruption is not checked and philanthropy among the wealthy not encouraged.”
According the World Bank, in the past 20 years, Mexico’s poverty levels remained almost the same; in 1992, 53.1 % of population live in poverty, against 52.3 % in 2012.
The list also shows that the UK is going to see the biggest percentage increase in millionaires in Europe and one of the highest in the world ahead of global powers such as Japan, Russia and Canada. From the G8 only the US ranks above the UK.

Lezz bring more of those LIES. ALL U CAN DO IS WISH.

In film we have pocketed many OSCARS AND PRODUCED TOP ACTORS. Like Thandi Newton who has SA and Zim roots and Charlize Theron. Your nollywood VILLAGE CRAP hasn't produced any Oscar. FACT. Plus we know your films are short using cellphones

I said your oil and gas economy is out..already thanx to the oil crises. Note: The likes of UK (100 billion barrels of oil),US and East and southern Africa and Asia have all discovered their oil and gas. Your Dangote lost $10bn last year and will lose more this year.
