I was sceptical first until I saw the cost of living numbers for one person. Dead-on-the money!!! I havejust lived in Accra for 7 weeks, and that number was accuarate to the letter!!!

The whole problem is about is about poor pricing decisions in Ghana. It has always been so since independence. That is what attracted the Yorubas to Ghana enmass. Today, the Ibos and Chinese have also seen the loophole and taking advantage. The Muslim populated areas are better but the Christian populated areas are worst. For instance , a bag of maize in Bawku is Two Hundred and Fifty Ghana Cedis but in Navrongo, the same quantity of the commodity is Four Hundred and Fifty Ghana Cedis - just within a distance of 85 kilometers. In terms of tribes, Akan dominated businesses have relatively higher prices.

This lunatics in government keeps setting bad records for Ghana, instead of making Accra the most cleanest city as they promised Ghanaians, they have succeeded in making it the city with the highest cost of living in Africa and so therefore one of the most expensive cities to live in in the world.

And @:Kweku . Com or whatever, I was very busy with work today and so couldn't come and answer your questions concerning Mahama being vidionless, the things I stated are but few of the uncountable things he did, but I tactically selected important things from different sectors of the economy, eg The hospitals he built, if he hadnt, like Covid would have overwhelmed us, that is undisputable, the universities, many kids who wouldn't have had the chance will have chance of having university education, because at least they have two more options to choose from the only existing six we had since independence,Atuabo Gas, has helped eradicate the falling down of trees to burn for charcoal which led to deforestation,and the usage of charcoal and inhalation of smoke which was hazardous etc Concerning why I didn't address ur corruption tag, i found it a waste of time, Mahama can do propaganda that Akuffo Addo or Bawumia are corrupt,he's in opposition and it's unserstandablevane permissible, But they both cant do that, they have the power to prosecute and even jail him when found liable and culpable for any corruptible act, so baselessly accusing him of corruption whilst u are in power,without evidence is equivalent to lunacy and deserves every contempt and disregard that you deservedly got from me.

Am not surprised look the NPP communicators should be ashamed of themselves because they themselves are suffering than any ordinary Ghanaian. A teachers and nurses cannot even rent average single room in Accra.I spoke to a friend who is a teacher with two kids he told me the only time he made a good time with the wife is in the morning when children has gone to school because of single room they are living in.Per the ghc3100 salary per month you can’t rent chamber and hall to be a bit comfortable so my concern is all about cost of living in Accra and some cities in Gh.For security services, commanders have cited with politicians to bring sicklers in to the service with so many excuses so at the end of the day they have the numbers but are all sick but draw a salary every month but always on tik toks and X flexing but cannot do the job am pleading with the future government to take a critical look at that because it’s putting pressure on the public account for drawing salaries for no work .

I was also confused when I saw that figure.Could it be that they have a standard for the purpose of that survey?

My guy you are not leaving good.
The research is talking about good leaving and not hustling with cheap and unhealthy food.

How did they come to this conclusion?
Did they get their figures from expatriates or members of the East Legon Executive Club?

Many Ashantis monkeys need to be deported from Accra back to forest, they're soo much selling on the streets side and they stink all over. Go back home monkeys.

I'm surprised Ghana is not the first. Things will get worse unless we learn how to trade with our own currency.
