Problemkid1:
The way they're hyping that Accra is amusing me. How on Earth will someone compares Accra with Dar es salaam. Even a blind man or a mad man knows Accra is far behind dar es salaam on infrastructure. Dar es salaam is far far far more developed than Accra, fact?

Perhaps there's another Ghana cuz even Benin Republic looks better than Ghana.

Common sense is very scarce in Nigeria. You guys need to import tons of common sense from Ghana, walahi. Dumb dumb dumb

You can't live without our Nairaland I challenge you.
It's true that common sense is not common.
You are a clown!

Hmmmm what do I say now...okay here is my own opinion...Not until few months ago when I visited Enugu I used to think that the entire south -east region is very backward and no different from a deep village, but I was proved wrong...I put it to you that Enugu is by far better than Lagos mainland in terms of good road and housing unit...Lagos traffic this days is no joke because there are so many roads construction within the same route /proximity and often times if affects the island... I would prefer the govt stay focus on a road , finish it quickly then move on to the next rather than closing up everywhere and giving commuters a tiny road to share to and fro thereby burning time on the roads....
Enugu for instance will be completing her international airport next year and I tell you that is no joke..that alone is capable of pulling massive investment to the state...Imo is not left out AS I recently heard that he was given $50million from world bank which he would be investing in roads as soon as the raining season is over...... Onistha has a 10 lanes, not so many states has that luxury....What of second Niger bridge..so bro I don't think any part is left being....
Did you know that the lagos-calabar rail will city through the south -eastern zone?

Sammy what are the budget for the south east

As if I wasn't a proud South African already,and Springboks bring the Rugby world cup home?


South Africa conquers all over again.

Nigerians and Tanzanians, when will you conquer the world? It's time you both stopped eating cassava as your staple food. Weaklings.

You were lucky my team wasn't there to slaughter u! Otherwise,you could know what is haka

So sad, you are no Kiwi!

What kind of game is that? A ball look like a pawpaw

You use the ball to play, it's not for eating. Jeez, what are we supposed to do with these laggards and their obsession with food?

Carmit:

Big ups to South Africa for the win.
But rugby isn't BIG in Africa so even if SA won it 10 times in a row it would make headlines in Africa and end there. Pretty sure 80% of Africans don't feel any innate pride of some sort cos of this.
To get the picture imagine this was the REAL WORLD CUP (soccer). . ....that resonates more with Africans ...now you see. . .
Big Ups SA once again for making Yourselves proud!
POSTSCRIPT : this is in no way a shade or dig at anyone or country. .

Sammy also thought we shouldn't plant more trees because Instabul is a concrete jungle! Nigerian arguments are outrageous and outright childish. You are better off quiet.

samorobo:




Omg..do you know i used to think Nigeria is the second largest country behind Algeria in Africa...,wow TZ is really big ooo

Wow, bigger than Sudan, DRC, Ethiopia, Mali, Libya, South Africa, Angola, Niger, Egypt, Mauritania, Chad etc. Just wow Sammy.

Wow, bigger than Sudan, DRC, Ethiopia, Mali, Libya, South Africa, Angola, Niger, Egypt, Mauritania, Chad etc. Just wow Sammy.

Iam sorry to say this but your stupid

After South Africa Kenya comes second in rugby
Does Tanzania even have a national rugby team

Tanzania I doubt have won anything serious in any game. Kenya rugby esp the 7 aside is world class.

Kazikazi:
hohohoho
What kind of game is that? A ball look like a pawpaw

you are thinking about food

Just30:
it is a collapse of the ineffective federation that led to the economics and then to the social collapse

its is the baltic states which paved way for ussr intergration
the economic system of ussr was uneffective to start with
people lining up for food for hours
invasion of afghasitan was not also helping things plus the chernobyl disaster

in short the collapse of ussr was caused by many things

Honestly this doesn't make sense...Both party have valid point ..it will be better to removed emotional hatred and access the point of view of both party...I am not supporting of both countries, but fon

I know where vaxx is coming from and I also where Kazikazi is coming from... Understand both party in a rational way before speaking...They both have point, don't explore one side only.

iam not supporting any party
kazi is saying dar is more modern than accra which is true that is his definition of developed
vaxx is saying the opposite flashy buidings does not mean development

I don't understand your points. What is a cosmetic project? Give me one example of cosmetic project done by Tz gov.
How is Mali roads better than Tz? Which quality do they have?Can u prove that? Show me some houses in Ghana which lookalike with foreigners home in Tz.By the way,Tanzania has very very few foreigners who are residents. The tourist are living in hotels.

You amazes me.are u taking pride on working abroad? Have u seen Japanese or south Korean or Singaporean doing that? The reason why African goes to work abroad is lack of employments back home. We produce a lot of unnecessary graduduates which our small economies don't need those.When u see a thousands of your graduates are migrating,know that,your education or economy or both of that have issues to solve.

When am saying Ghana is a small nation I mean in landmass. All nations with smaller landmass tend to urbanize faster

cosmetic are simply project done purposely for beautification and not neccasrily project done to cover development. for example, you established an electric train when TZ generate far less than capacity , just a region in Ghana, Greater Accra consume and generate far more electricity than the whole 60 million Tanzania. This directly shows Tz is lacking energy to fuel the growth of her local industry. so why electric train when local industry are in need of power consumption? such project are called cosmetic. ....
You need to go check quality road statistics, as it stands, world economic forum recently realised one ). Senegal has better road than TZ, to see more about Ghana offices and apartment , simply used the Google search.....

The real average TZ is poor and can't really afford many of the eyebrow life the goverment is trying to force on them. they are mostly created to be enjoy by the foreigners...

You don't jump on plane over night to go work abroad. An average Nigerians or Ghanaian you see in S.A can really do something back home but love of adventure coupled with opportunity forces them to live their comfort zone. It takes over 2000 dollars to travelled to south africa from west Africa and that is diffrence from basic travel allowance . Are you saying the people paying this money are really poor? Chinese/ Lebanese are also all over for the same purpose of opportunities ....They are lot of Japanese in Germany and America, not coming down to africa dosnt mean they don't look for opportunities outside their comfort zone, same things goes to Singapore. the only laid back people are mostly from gulf country ( UAE/ Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain etc) and the reasons to this is not far fetched .

Ghana isn't a small nation in land as well, it has the same geographical space as Britain. what fuel urbanization more often is largely population not necessarily land size .

Samorobo hopefully you can see what I am telling you about world ranking ..... This is another ranking report from the USA. it has proven what I have been telling you since. Ghana education system is incomparable in west africa .......

Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has been adjudged the best University in Ghana and West Africa.


""The Ashanti Region-based university also came 14th on the African continent and 706th out of selected 1,500 best universities worldwide.

It displaced two of West Africa’s prestigious tertiary institutions, the University of Ibadan (UI) in Nigeria and fellow compatriots, the University of Ghana (UG), which ranked 17 and 24 in the sub-region, the report indicated.

This is according to Washington-based US News & World Report 2019. The 86-year-old organisation is known for ranking and evaluating universities based on their research performance and its ratings by members of the academic community around the world and in its region.

The U.S. News & World Report is a multi-platform publisher of news and information, which includes; annual print and e-book versions of its authoritative rankings of Best Colleges, Best Graduate Schools and Best Hospitals in the World.

The rankings according to the U.S. News and World Report are produced to provide insight into how universities compare globally so that prospective students could make the best choices.

It, therefore, focuses specifically on the institution’s academic research and overall reputation. The overall best global universities rankings encompass the top 1,500 institutions spread across 81 countries globally.

The first step in producing these rankings, which are powered by Clarivate Analytics Incites, involved creating a pool of 1,599 Universities that is used to rank the top 1,500 schools.

The second step is to calculate the rankings using the 13 indicators and weights that U.S. News chose to measure global research performance.

Each of the 1,500 top-ranked university's profile pages on usnews.com lists the overall global score as well as numerical ranks for the 13 indicators, allowing students, academics and university leaders to compare each university's standing in each indicator.

These indicators include; global research reputation, regional research reputation, publications, books authored, conference papers, normalised citation impact, total citations, number of publications that are among the 10% most cited, percentage of total publications that are among the 10% most cited, international collaboration - relative to country, international collaboration, number of highly cited papers that are among the top 1% most cited in their respective field, percentage of total publications that are among the top 1% most highly cited papers, and general reputation.

With a global score of 42.4, KNUST had a global reputation for research of 1,044, regional research reputation of 21. It also obtained 1,572 publications, 1,189 books, 1,444 conferences, 33 normalisation citation impact and a total citation of 1,0409.

In addition, KNUST attained 949 percentage of total publications that are among the 10 per cent most cited, 381 International collaborations - relative to country, and 15 International collaborations. This latest ranking projects KNUST as the best University for teaching, learning and research in Ghana and West Africa as whole"".

Namibia comes before kenya

Rugby is not all about 15s, Namibia has never defeated Kenya sevens in decades. Same applies to 15s, Kenya has never defeated Namibia but at least we always meet at finals unlike the Namibia sevens which is not even close to Kenya sevens. our rugby was recently doing bad and that was because our senior players were on strike. Our rugby sevens demolished South Africa mercilessly in recent past during safari sevens, and funny enough the likes of Collins injera and other senior players never played. So Kenya rugby is not a joke.

Yes energy consumption per capita is good measure.You may have to remove the % of power dedicated to Ghana minning industry so you don't distort what the average household consume.For example South Africa consumes 30,000MW but 60% of it by 10 minning and manufacturing giants. Migration is not a factor..on the contrary it shows Ghana historical problems with coups, famine n economic collapse..same situation you find in Somalia or Ethiopia or DrC or Nigeria...where people sell family asset to escape their countries for lack of internal opportunities. Urbanization is good indicator as long as it's not DRC type where people escape to live in shanties so they can enjoy peace and security...in short Ghana urban center have to match the population in housing, amenities and infrastructure. Nigeria kind of urbinazation with mega slumpolis like Kano, Ibandan,Lagos etc with housing deficit of 12m is not a good indicator of progress. Kinshasa is an example of 20m mega slumpolis with Lagos.

At last the 2.3 billion dollar sky train in Ghana has been sign.... samorobo don't you think this is good news


The concession agreement for the construction of the Accra Sky Train Project has been signed on the sidelines of the ongoing African Investment Forum in Johannesburg, South Africa.



The signing of the agreement means feasibility studies, spanning a period of nine months to determine the bankability of the project will commence, with the investors assuring that the first station for the Accra Sky Train project will be opened in 9 months.

At the signing ceremony on Monday, November 11, President Akufo-Addo described it as “a happy day for Ghana and her good people”, adding that it is a “critical step towards the consummation of this project”, and a vivid testimony of the value of the African Investment Forum.

The President thanked the SkyTrain Consortium for putting together the wherewithal that is allowing this project to go forward.

The Accra Sky Train, according to him, “is meeting an important infrastructural need, and hopefully the step that is being taken today, that is signing the concession agreement, is bring the project to much nearer conclusion. That is what we are hoping for so that the people of Ghana benefit from the progress and the relief that a modern system of transport in our capital city is going to bring.”

SkyTrain systems are pre-fabricated using precision moulded, pre-stressed reinforced concrete components that are capable of being installed at a very rapid rate, meaning that there is minimal disruption and congestion in the urban area that is undergoing installation and commissioning.

The proposed SkyTrain initiative in Accra provides for the development of five routes, four of which are comprised of radial routes that originate at the proposed SkyTrain Terminal, at the heart of Accra, at a newly developed Kwame Nkrumah circle, and one (1) route that provides and intra-city commuter loop distribution service, also emanating from Circle.

The Project envisages a total track length across all routes of 194 kilometres.

The Sevens Rugby is a scaled down version of the Rugby, it is not that important as the Rugby 15. It's like comparing football with beach football.

Thats why I say Namibia is better and also in Ranking.

Lemme be naive, the only reason Kenya won in Kenya is because the pitch was so bad, and youyou guys are used to train in a bad pitch lol

You knkw hkw the Kenyans have been shouting tech capital in Africa well today Visa an American company bought a 200 million dollar company in a Nigerian company called interswitch making it the first billion dollar Africa fintech Company ever
