am talking about quality index, state of your roads and how they are being maintained.
https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/roads_quality/Africa/

I have repeatedly mentioned how the list are compiled...
The organisation didn't come to Kenya to check all your roads, did they ..
The criteria used are based in tourist reviews,total number of roads accident anually (it's believed that more road accident occurs due to bad roads which is not the case), the commuters obedience to traffic symbols and rules e.t.c and a bunch of other things...

It's not worth ranking one over the others . Good roads is visible beyond paper stats..

Jonraid:
How about you give me the official stats?

Your actual national budget is competing with our state budget ..

Confirmed! Ghana is just a mini Naij in the making. The resource route won't get them out of poverty. Even without Chinese games the royalties combined with electrical subsidies mean they EARN A PITTANCE!

When a surge of demand from China and other rising economies sent
commodity prices rocketing in the mid-2000s, it became increasingly ap-
parent to African governments that they were being fleeced. In Zambia,
one of the world’s top copper producers, mining companies were paying
lower tax rates than the half a million Zambians employed in the industry.
In 2011 only 2.4 percent of the $10 billion of revenues from exports of Zam-
bian copper accrued to the government.23 Across the border in Congo the
figure is fractionally higher but still negligible: 2.5 percent. Shortly after
I met Kofi Gyakah in the shadow of Newmont’s mine in 2009 I went to
Ghana’s Chamber of Mines in Accra and analyzed the data it kept on the
mining industry. The previous year the industry generated $2.1 billion. Of
that, the sum of royalties, taxes, and dividends from government stakes in
mining ventures paid to the state was $146 million, or 7 percent—and that
is before factoring in the cost to the state of the subsidized electricity the
mines use. It is a pittance compared with 45 to 65 percent that the IMF
estimates to be the global average effective tax rate in mining.24 Over the
eighteen previous years Ghana had produced 36 million ounces of gold,
enough to make ninety thousand standard gold bars. A senior banker I in-
terviewed in Accra put it simply: “People are asking: how did the country
earn nothing from a hundred years of mining?”

A very good book I'm currently reading. The author, a journo suffered a nervous breakdown MMIA Lagos on departure, a result of PTSD witnessing the hundreds of Jos killings earlier in the year.
As a form of therapy be decided to go deeper into the usual corruption ills resulting in a very good book, a compulsory read for ALL LITERATE AFRICANS.
You really shouldn't laugh at our tea, avocado and macadamia. While a fraction of oil and gold the economic multiplier effects are way better than minerals reserved for the rent seekers.

For me this looks beautiful...I don't know about others..

Sometimes I wonder what you kenyans sniff in that zoo country is it glue, weed or what? You should be worried about hunger and mass poverty in kenya China will soon inherit debt-ridden Kenya including fools like you

Shma:
quote the place?
He said Ghana don't have proper cities hence comparing Accra with Nairobi or Kumasi with Mombasa is a total joke.

The person who even wrote this has the least understanding of the mining sector.

In 2000, Ghana had a 40% win fall tax on mining activities.
7% Royalties is completely different from corporate tax

Make that 0.5%. Yet when it come to ranking on roads, logistics, and infrastructure Kenya is so much ahead of many SSA countries.

In terms of roads - in SSA - only likes of South Africa, Namibia, maybe Angola and Botswana can tell us anything. Ghana and Nigeria pleeeeeeeease.

According to the latest Logistics Performance Index (LPI), the country is in position 42, up from 74 in what is perhaps the global lender's approval of the Government's efforts to improve the ease of doing business. The country comes second to South Africa in the index that ranks logistics in160 countries

Auweee!? Gh, the noisy mini Naij is 106? Hahaha! Why am I not surprised?

You just need to see how shitty looking Ghana is...I mean South Africa did very bad and they look decent.so decent it is role model...but Ghana...another Nigeria..big zoo!. You see them struggling with kenya - Kenya that HAS NOTHING.

Lack of mineral wealth has not --in any way-- excluded Kenya, your country, from the ravages of the looting machine.
Big corporations have been raping your land for long and you don't seem to care. Look at your tea and flower industries for example. Look at your looted foreign aid,

And the reason you don't even appear in top 20, talkless of top ten.
If you have gone to school and know how qualitative unalysis are being conducted, you wouldn't have said that, as far as they can unalyse few roads network for a realistic purposes, we also have satellite images and countries representatives.

The Incident Of Low Occupancy Rate For Residential Properties In Nigeria. A Case Study Of Abuja-Nigeria Federal Capital Territory
[url][https://ideas.repec.org/p/afr/wpaper/afres2016_110.htmlurl]

The most meaningful takeaway.

It was discovered that the majority of the residential properties developed, were not with financial assistance from financial institutions. They were purely private equities of politicians and businessmen who only want to consolidate their assets in physical structures but not for profit

Iow, money laundering, plain and simple!

The way they screech about Abuja you'd think it were Dubai, Singapore or Boston at the very least: as always reality in Naij is truly and truly ishytty!

Abuja suburb where open defecation is culture
[url][m.guardian.ng/news/abuja-suburb-where-open-defecation-is-culture/url]

Mrs. Edwin, popularly called Mama Favour said open defecation has become a normal sight in Tungan Wakili because most of the houses do not have toilets

Thats the CBD,UUURRGHHH!?
The practice is more prevalent in north-central states, including Abuja, the capital.

[url][https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/283933-five-notorious-spots-where-people-defecate-openly-in-abuja.htmlurl]

Gwarimpa express is a stop away from Kubwa express when coming from Wuse. “Driver, stop me at Gwarimpa express”, a passenger who wants to alight at this bus stop would say. Before this stop is a long pedestrian bridge that connects other parts of the popular Gwarimpa estate and that is why the stop is known as Gwarimpa express.
There is a big gutter on the right side of the road and many have turned it into a safe spot for convenience. You can see piles of faeces while passing or waiting for a commercial vehicle at the bus stop

But while we struggle with temporary flood induced water supply issues in Nairobi there's no water in Abuja anyway . Somehow the planners ignored or someone neglected this.

There is no water in Abuja,” Chinyere, a resident, laments. “There is no light (electricity) but more importantly there is no water and this makes life hard

Ruth Samuel and her four children live here in an uphill settlement on the outskirts of Abuja.

But every day, they struggle for water, sometimes spending many hours scooping water from a ground spring

How Zokutu, Abuja residents get water.

The only source of water in the community is a cave, located about half a mile from the residential area. The water in the cave, which is 6 feet below ground level, is used for bathing, laundry, cooking, and drinking — without any form of purification. The level of development in Zokutu is next to nothing, as is reflected in the poor road networks, mud houses, and limited telecommunication access.

What I can tell you is the glorious story of Africa smallholder farming that not only overtook big farms in Kenya (South Africans cannot comprehend this) but has overtaken the world.

Check smallholder tea production in kenya in 1963.

And compare with NOW. It's staggering!

And with that we have some of the most developed rural places.

I know for most of these bozos they cannot imagine a rural place so developed.
