Life’s Most Persistent and Urgent Question Is, “What Are You Doing for Others?”- MLK Jnr.
Jump into ma boat for a ride!
I own my thoughts NOT my retweets!
A nation in tears. A hero returns home.
As your plane touched down, thousands broke through the runway; Kenya stood still, mourning the man who shaped our destiny.
To me, you were more than a leader; a father, mentor & guiding light.
Rest in power, Baba.
Let’s accelerate action in advocating for equal pay for equal work and support policies that ensure women are given the same opportunities to advance.

I am genuinely curious. How does Russia, with a GDP comparable to that of Texas and Guangdong, manage to cast such an oversized influence over America and China, respectively the largest and second largest GDP in the world? What is the magic? What is it that I can teach my students so that they can acquire this hard power in reverse? Again I am genuinely curious and I really want to know.
@GuthmannR@RagingVentures@YashengHuang “military doctrine, and experience in large-scale ground warfare. No country in the world is a rival to Russia in these domains.”
Lol 😂
Are you a comedian?
Russia's strategic material resources are much larger than suggested by nominal GDP. It is strategic material resources and not nominal GDP that primarily determines geopolitical power.
If you look at Co2 emissions, a better proxy indicator of how big an economy is in material size, Russian emissions are close to half the US's and 3/4 of the European Union's.
I also made a comparison using physical statistics of the production of strategic natural resources (coal, oil, gas, etc.) and industrial indicators (electricity, steel used in metal working industries, chip production, etc.). In per capita terms, Russian resource availability per capita is about the same as the US's and substantially superior to the European Union's or China's.
In aggregate terms, if the US is 100, China is 251, the European Union is 72, and Russia is 43. It is smaller than the US and China, but the discrepancy between Russia and the US is smaller than between the US and China.
In addition, to think about geopolitical power, you have to consider natural resource stocks, geostrategic location, military doctrine, and experience in large-scale ground warfare. No country in the world is a rival to Russia in these domains.
Russia's main strategic weakness is its relatively modest population size (150 million) compared to the other great powers.
Hello @YayraKoku, congratulations on your appointment as NIA ED. Wishing you success in this role and hoping you prioritize transparency in NIA’s dealings with Margins. For instance, I’ve always found it puzzling why government agencies must pay so much to access Ghana Card data when the government has heavily invested in the project. Agencies like NHIA and GRA owe millions of dollars for using this data, even though we were told the Ghana Card would result in cost savings for government agencies.
As far as I know, there hasn’t been an audit into Margins’ actual spending on the Ghana Card project compared to the government’s investment, yet Margins receives the majority of the revenue under the current arrangement. I hope you can commit to reviewing and rationalizing this arrangement so agencies can see those cost savings.
The Ghana Card has great potential but its utilization must be based on sound policy rationale and not the need to generate revenue for the private partner. Many of the use cases in the past have largely been about generating revenue versus improving public service efficiency. I can only hope that’s not the case with you in charge.
If we can’t retrieve all the “looted” lands then there’s only one alternative: premium property rates for all who have acquired state lands. Let them struggle to attain any net advantage from the acquisition. Soon they may be begging to sell it back to the state.
Secretary to the Board of the National Cathedral, Rev Kusi Boateng who gave prophecy that NPP Flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will win #GhanaDecides2024 has spoken in church today just minutes before the NPP Flagbearer conceded defeat and called John Mahama to congratulate him
There’s this notion that protests in Ghana yield no results. Contrary to that, past protests have built momentum and we will soon get to a breaking point if nothing is done.
