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.

Kazikazi:

Don't talk of Congo.we have the power to chase u away there.We are the leaders of SADC! We can tell anyone not to enter in any of 16 SADC nations.You hear me? You hear me?

JaceBlaze:
Fair enough...valid points made

Carmit:

First of all your dig at me is off track..
Also Sam never said we shouldn't plant trees.... He only said we shouldn't be hard on ourselves as africans...
Lastly young Undergrad, there's nothing OUTRAGEOUS about my opinion AT ALL..... you could help us out by listing all the rugby playing African Countries then... If it was big in Africa your country,, SA and whichever country that follows won't be the only active players.
You're the childish one bro.

gallivant:


I will start with Nigerians. They came to the Olympic qualifiers in SA just last week and lost all their games. The fact you didn't know that doesn't mean everyone doesn't. The fact that you lost doesn't mean rugby is not important in Africa. You should stop speaking for Africans and go plant more trees abeg. This is not Turkey!

rvp2018:
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.

gallivant:


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

gallivant:


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.

gallivant:


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

tylann:


good then rvp is right

Austine1212:


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

tylann:


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

rvp2018:
Sammy is typically Nigeria illeterate...DRC is second biggest...I think Sudan use to be 2nd..DRC is nearly 3 times bigger than Nigeria

Carmit:

Calm Calm Soldier.
How can you say I don't know Nigeria plays rugby?.... Heck we play cricket,, track cycling (there are brood velodromes in naija and sa... Don't know any other one) baseball,... Even wwe type wrestling!..... Motorsports too.... But are the BIG in Nigeria?....capital NO!.....
MAN calm down and get the point!....
How can you tell me a sport with good publicity in just three countries out of a possible. 54 is BIG IN AFRICA

Carmit:

Now this post here shows the level of ignorance of this dude....
I'll be enlightening you soon undergrad.

Shma:
am not in the mood of arguing but trust me Namibia rugby is not ranked ahead of Kenya rugby. Period!

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"".

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.

samorobo:



Lol this ranking is not based on knowledge transfer and quality education it focuses mainly on publications , books and global reputation (which reputation does just have globally? It is not more reputable than Legon)......infact there is no way just is better than legon, talkless of UI....Read through it properly you will see that the first step in producing the ranking is based on some random web search "Analytics incites"...

The higher times (THE) is the most recognised globally and should not be compared with a Washington based US news...

UI has no rival in WA mate

samorobo:


Great one there...so when is construction of the proposed SkyTrain going to commence?

samorobo:


Good..Both parties made salient point... Kazikazi never argued that Ghana is more economically developed than TZ but he is simply saying that Ghana economic prowress doesn't match her urbanisation....but I think vaxx misunderstanding him.

As the middle class grows their taste, quality, and sophistication improves in urban areas...

vaxx2:
Belive in your sweet dreams .....According to US world news report. you are lying .....i am not talking much on this . but read the report again, you didn't capture the mechanism employed in the research well. .... buy enjoy your grandeur.....

vaxx2:
The first station is opening in August of next year . so construction commenced anytime soon.....

Shma:
Dude, am not talking about 15s, I already admitted Namibia 15s is ranked ahead of Kenya 15s. The reason why Namibia obtained more points is because they qualified for rugby world cup and they had chances of gaining more points.

Austine1212:

But youyou do know that SA sevens got an automatic Qualification?

And we know Kenya will not win a 7s medal right lol

Don't take it personal
