Sometimes you have brain.Ghana stats are questionable.African stats.I mean,with that huge stated middle class,why can't we see and witness a property boom?

You are right...growing by 7.6% is not joke and they have maintained a stable growth for a long period of time...This things should reflect in the real estate sector...offices should be popping here as there...Even though Nigeria economy is not on her feet our real estate sector still works..

how does he even compare urbanization in Ghana with 30 million people and consumes 10 million metric tonnes of cement to Tanzania with 57 million people and consumes 7 million metric tonnes of cement ?

Even rvp think Kenya can be compared ? this people look so much down on Ghana....walahi .....

i wonder if he knows how much it cost to produce 200MW of electricity from a thermal unit.
How much the sgr needs to be charging and how much passengers it needs to carry for them to break even

Re read my post.I said,electric train use about 200 MW.Then I asked if that was much power for a nation to fail to produce

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.

uhm no!!! Final score was 19-14, hardly a demolition and it was a very strong and experienced Kenyan team vs a virtually unknown South African team

Yemi Kale is lying to you - claiming 500B economy - while you're the poverty capital of the world. Wake up and smell the coffee. I see you finally smelt the coffee on rice - when you were claiming success in rice production on account of reduce imports - while everyone saw Benin & Cameroon numbers immediately ratchet up.

Hahaha this boy is so funny ..he said they should ask us ...I can't laugh...

You make noise alot.....I advice vaxx to also investigate your GDP....your middle class is faulty..

Yes.That is sensible.
With their growth,with a higher hdi,with higher income,surely we should have witnessed a property boom

Can you break this for me sector wise? The formal economy that is for sure is mining (with lots of informal minners) and now oil industry. Cocoa farming is also not in doubt. Now what you mean by informal sector is what retail & wholesaling? transport? finance & inter-mediation? hotel & tourism? What kind of informal economy are we talking about.

Lol this dude is looking to GDP to calculate....Go study yours first, it is faulty

How is Tanzania's cement consumption?

Ghana has a higher cement consumption than Tanzania and a higher cement consumption per capita than Tanzania

True our cement consumption is going down - I think from a high 6.5m tonnes - now if Ghana consume 10m tonnes - then you have good point.

My dear you ramble foolishly at times..we have calculated your GDP and it is not more than $60bn....An evidence to attest to that is your middle class bubble burst and your dwindling real estate sector.

Real estate is offices, malls, hotels, social amenities,residential estates - and Ghana has a long way to go - for example in branded hotels - Nairobi I think has 20,000 branded hotel beds - the whole of Ghana has 2,000.

How much does Nairobi (kenya ) realised on tourism sector? Ghana is just waking up in that sector, You guys will be surprised. cus more development are coming in that sector.... There are lots estates investment in Ghana now springing up building.

Yeah...I watched you guys celebrating in the streets of joburg, I think on Thursday when they returned

We are trying to find the truth. I am seeing 5M tonnes domestic consumption in 2018 with installed capacity of 7.5m. Where is the 10M coming from.

I haven't said that. Tanzania is poor. I am also starting to question the numbers Ghana are dishing out. They are not mutually exclusive.

okay, kul

lets question the numbers


Fortunately for me, im in a better position to give you answers
Because since this year July, I've been working at the operational unit of Ghana port and harbours Authority

Honestly I get what you are saying about Accra real estate market..trust me they equally do but it's just a display of patriotism....Real estate sector drives urbanisation..

Its the real estate sector that is driving Ghana's huge cement consumption figures

Which PWC?

According to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in its, PwC Hotel Outlook 2016-2020, report hotel rooms in Kenya will increase from 18,100 in 2015 to 20,700 while six hotels are set to open in Tanzania, adding 600 rooms over the same period.

the informal sector is
real estate, Transportation, retail and wholesaling

Informal mining where the largest part of Ghana's gold export is currently coming from.
Service provision
Alternative medicine
Farming

You & Sammy - should find a private room - to heckle. Just fish the latest cement consumption data.

I read mine here https://brandongaille.com/15-ghana-cement-industry-statistics-and-trends/

#1. Local cement manufacturers in Ghana have an installed capacity to produce about 7.4 million tons of product every year. That is above the annual consumption of cement in Ghana, which is estimated to be 5 million tons per year. (Ghana Trade)

Those are present in every Africa country - I just struggling to understand how a city of 4M plus people can survive with a tiny formal sector. Maybe remittance dollars?

I doubt. Ghana and Nigeria have claimed since late 80s and 90s that their urbanization is 50% - I think the figure has hardly changed. The same with electricity access - although Ghana is now racing toward universal access.

China recently got to 50% urbanization. India urbanization is maybe around 35% now.

Maybe their is Ghana and Nigeria competition to produce dodgy stats.

China urbanization is 60%

look, can you post this as reference in your uni and it will be approved? quoting blogs .... Don't do that with me again

But it's a recent phenomena...I am not sure of Ghana but Nigeria have claimed 50% urbanization for like 30 yrs - the same with electricity access.
