well good for dem

ForeThinker:
For the time being

u dey ur back

The airport is really nice.

I shook my head for the MMIA Lagos when I visited Kotoka Airport...

Well done Ghana!

It can't be the 4th best in the world na. That cant be possible please. This is my final say and no more comments.

4th in the world? I seriously DOUBT that.

LifeQuest:
I guess Ghana is getting it right. I used the airport in May and I can not but agree that it is really what it is said to be. That is Akuaba spirit. Sparkling clean convenience and other facilities. Professionalism of the airport officials. Oh my God. I landed in Lagos MM but could not use the dirty, smelling convenience. I hope we will be able to get it right someday.

Kotoka does not compare with Senegal's Blaise Diagne.

wirinet:

Bone that thing. Ghana no near Nigeria. Ghana dey try for their small size and resources, but you can compare them to Nigeria. How many urban cities the whole of Ghana get? Is it up to 6. After Accra, Kumasi, Sekondi-Takoradi, Sunyani, Obuasi, and Cape Coast, which other urban cities do they have. Nigeria has 6 urban cities in every state.
How many doctors have they produced, how many professors, how many world renowned businessmen? Do they have the equivalent of Dangote, Adenuga, Innocent Chukwuma, Okonjo Iweala, wole soyinka, Fela, Whiz kid, etc. In which sphere or profession will Ghana beat Nigeria?

Since Ghana depends a lot on tourism, they need lots of promotions to attract foreigners, and thus the propaganda.

These comments show some deep ignorance. You don't boast about having millionaires and ''cities''. Your millionaires are useless if the majority of the people are poor and hopeless. What you should boast about is the ''human development index (HDI) which compares access to education, health services, roads, water, social amenities, security, rule of law, etc. Ghana is better than Nigeria in all these areas! A country does not need to have a few millionaires and million of poor people. It is better you have majority of the people have a fair share of the resources.
There are solid professors like Wole Soyinka in many countries, but not every one of them would necessarily win Nobel Prize.
If you do not know, Fela traveled to Ghana to learn Afrobeat. He was initially playing Highlife in Nigeria until he traveled to live in Ghana from 1967-70. That was where he was introduced to the new wave of African music (Afrobeat) . He joined a band in Accra called Hedzolleh. Hugh Masekela of South Africa also joined that band. That is where they both learnt what later became known as ''Afrobeat''. The biggest musicians in the history of Nigeria are the Highlife musicians and they all borrowed Ghanaian style of Highlife.
Osibisa is the biggest ever African musical band, and they are the first to tour the globe in the 19060s to 90s.
You talk about Wizkid? Who is Wizkid when you talk of real music? Don't you know, and cant you see Nigerian musicians e.g. Davido, Tecno, Flavour, Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, Mayorjun, Timaya, Mr Eazi, Teni, Tuface, Dbanj etc are all imitating and copying Ghanaian Highlife/Hiplife and Azonto style of music which they all pretend to call ''Afrobeat'' or Afropop"

Dotng:


If Ghana has half of Nigeria's resources and just a quarter of our problems there economy will collapse. One of their presidents made this kind of remark in recent times and it shows a lack of appreciation of the overall issues countries in Africa face. John Kuffor had to publicly recognise Nigeria's help during their energy crises when they could not purchase oil without a 90 day credit facility which Obasanjo gave to them and allowed them to pay at their convenience. Their economy will have been in tatters like that of Greece if Obasanjo had not intervened.

Is credit facility a new thing in international trade? You did not say what would have happened to Nigeria if we do not get credit from other countries.
The truth is every country gives some form of credit to others. Nigeria sells crude oil, so it gives credit to buyers. Ghana sells gold and cocoa, and they also give credit to those who buy their exports. That is how international trade works.
The question is, has Nigeria been able to produce electricity with all the oil and gas that we have? Ghana has now discovered huge reserves of oil and gas and they are currently building the infrastructure that would put an end to their reliance on Nigerian oil and gas. Most taxi drivers in Ghana use gas to power their cars, and this has been happening for almost 20 years now.

vaxx2:
well, it shows how ignorance you are to the world (Undermining a particular country because of her size) Know add this to your list of the urban area.... Tamali ( once ranked as the fastest growing city in west africa) Techiman ( A commercial hub similar to onitcha) Tema ( An industrial hub of Ghana, it houses both the sea port and the oil refinery) koforidua ( The capital of eastern region) Etc.... Ghana is more urbanized than kenya and Tanzania in both and this is a country of 28 million ..... fourth in sub Saharan africa just behind Ethiopia

In terms of doctors , Ghana have produced well qualified doctors such as baron ribero, kufour and some others ....in the field of buisness , so many ( Let me mention company name , so you do the searching) kampack, Springfield, enginneeers and planners( The largest indiegineous mining in west africa) Talking about academia, it is a tall list , that is better we don't even branch there but have this Francis allottey, Thomas mensah ( inventor of fiber optic) herman chinnery hesse ( Also an inventor) and the moist promising one who works in most difficult profession on earth ( NASA) ashittey Trebi etc....

In terms of music , you only need to check the history of highlofe, where it originate from.....Even fela had something to say about Ghana......for hiphop ( tbey have their likes like sarkordie ( he recently won the best international flaw at recent BET) ....

Comparing Ghana and Nigerian is meaningless because both of them are sons of Africa.... but if you must measure dicks, i bet you nothing shows Nigeria is ahead apart from population..... be it regional exams ( wascce) Ghana has continuously topping the list for more than 10 years now, be it soccer ( Ghana has gotten a better record, even boxing ( Ghana is well positioned)....

Tourism contribute little to Ghana GDP( It is not even in the top five list of foreing exchange earning . You are the one who should stop hating, the country is developing on its own without contesting with anyone.......



no leader in Nigeria dead or alive is as popular like kwame inkrumah nor kofi annah

fibre optic was invented by a British indian

majamajic:

Really? I have not been there to determine that.

Jaqenhghar:
While others are silently building their countries. Niggerians are better at hurling online insults

Nigerians are the most useless people on earth. can't wait to run far from that shithole

If you listen to Niggerians long enough they will tell you they invented electricity and the were the first to go to the moon

BuhariAdvocate:

Jaqenhghar:

The conveniences I saw at the local wing a few years ago was terrible. Stinking,wet floor and worse still, located at the entrance and oozes into the waiting lounge. God help us for once to be mindful of sanitary conveniences. As it stands now, we are way back.

Kennyswagz1:
i cant wait bro.. gat to get out from this place

U will. Don't give up. The benefits are immense. A few years ago I was one patriotic fool. If you told me then about migrating I would have insulted you. I remember one my friend saying I should apply for green card lottery.... but now I know better. Thay shithole will not get better in this lifetime. Instead of waiting for things thay will never happen leave the shithole

Kennyswagz1:

No friend.....google Thomas mensah

I heard the new MMIA Lagos will be opened December, I guess it will be like the one in Abuja

Slimpotter:

Very, and I'm not being envious.

That is a tall dream bro. I think op was trying to say the best in West Africa and Fourth best in Africa. If it's not the best in Africa, how can it even be the fourth best in the world. Meanwhile, the rating was done by ACI Africa.

I am impressed by the progress Ghana and other African countries are making but a fact is a fact. Currently I don't think there is any West African airport that will make top 10 in africa in a credible rating.

Well, fiber optic was not invented by Thomas Mensah, he innovated the invention atleast wikipedia will confirm that. I understand that some Nigerians who are less intelligent are arrogant and noisy but the achievers dont even make noise. We've always been our brother nations keeper across africa but we are getting kicked because we fell. Black people are great people that is all I know despite even how we ourselves look at each other.

Mescana22:
But seriously if Ghana have half of nigeria mineral resources, they will be giant of AFRICA, yes they are corrupt but this country is working, because there citizens are the check and balances the govt needs, if you watch all there TV programmes its all about governance and cost of governance, and how they speak out, this people are lawful, obeys traffic, 24/7 power, no robbery, i move arounnd 2,3,4, am and pressing my phone ,no one minds you, very calm and peaceful, dey hail you bosssu, you hailed them chalire, they construct roas like oyibo, the police and emergency services responds withing 5 mins, Oboy this people dey try, i refused to come back naija again, because i am scared of Lagos, One gal called Mensah has sucked me dry and she sabi cook wakkyche,

I agree with you.. Ghana stands today because of the men in politics... They try to do all so as to keep the country organize but Ghanaians are the ones not willing to push the country forward.. The system have provided you with light, water and security, yet Ghanaians do not want to make good use of that and invest critically in the economy. All they do is to wait for foreigners to come over and show them how to invest.

This is different from Nigeria.. We have bad politicians who has given us nothing for Nigerians to excel..Nigerian is where it is because of the Nigerians trying to push the economy forward but our govt ain't given the people support...It is just pathetic..

At least you admit we fell. From my limited knowledge of the world I can conclude that the difference between us and the rest of the world is they do what they have to do. We, would rather make excuses
