See the full ranking from Newsweek.
I dont completely agree with the list becos how can a country like syria rank higher than Ghana but whatever, cant wait for naija people to defend this, lol, btw this was complied by newsweek mag, dont get mad at GC.
@miss dior, oh miss dior ad3n, why bring
the alata’s into this eh? you know they will attack oo
@nanayaa, who cares? As ‘ giant of africa they shoild have ranked higher than Ghana.
In african standard is good since we like to settle for less but in the world standard it’s very poor and yes we could do better.
Forget these rankings! Do Ghanaians have money in we pockets? That should be the yardstick we use to measure progress. How can a foreign body rank our country for us? *smh* Why do Ghanaians need foreigners to validate us so much? So if they said we are dead last tomorrow then what? So stupid.
Ghana is higher than those who called themself big in africa ,sHame on them !
@sTAr, lmao, giant of african indeeed.

That place (ghana) called a country should compare itsself with lagos state because they have the same size and population with lagos state which one of the states in Nigeria.Nigerians own almost all the banks and other companies in Ghana shame on you.
But stil u wer 99 on d rankings puuuuuuuuuuuuuu,mtchewwww
if Ghana’s Business environment is not good and lucreative will the Nigerian Business men be be owning all the banks in Ghana, think. any way u r helping in developing Ghana and Ghana is helping u to do business in a place where u will feel secured. a country where Nigerian businesses would not spend millions of dollas on generators and petrol, then pay light bills at the end of the month.

Have you all noticed that almost all Western European countries are mostly the first twenty. Is the quality of life higher due to their socialized system of doing things? Syria ranked higher? that don’t make any sense. So it’s better to be living in Syria than in Ghana . Oh really!?
we can always do betta. this is just baby steps. we need step up progress thou. we can always betta our best.
Ghanaians have inferiority cmplex and insecurity problem,you said Ghana is good and better than every other country in the world have you lives improve ,the answer is no no.Ghanaians are deep swimming in poverty,their cities are still the same nothing changed so I want you to show me the area your families lives have been improved or been taken care of by the government,your dwarf ugly president or the so call good political environment.Ugly fools ,the ugliest people I have ever seen in my life.
Funny, all the top 20 countries are not Religion Prone like Ghana. No wonder. How can it be better to live in Syria than in Ghana with all our abundance in natural resources? We’re busy fighting for Jewish god against Muslim while the western civilization take all our resources to improve their quality of life. This list is a clear indication. Ghanaians are one of the most weak minded, incapable, inferior, self-hating people that I’ve ever come to know on this blue earth.
jojo made a good comment about been sick and wearing fine linen to cover it up(In the military, it’s called the wounded soldier syndrome). That is exactly what we’re doing. It’s sad to sit back and watch but then again, sometimes, the people deserves to dwell off and die in their own ignorance.
We’re too busy infighting and competing over useless, corrupted ideals, while our future is been zapped out of us. I am Ghanaian and proud, but am not proud of the current state of my country and people. We can do way better than this. This is a sad list to look at in this day and age. That we’re still this much behind.
Question: If Nigeria (through the undercover help of foreign financiers) have manage to takeover and own most of our infrastructure, and most of our state-owned properties (goldfields, hotels, schools, etc. etc) has all been bought and owned by foreign countries. What do we Ghanaians own as a people in our own country? We need to stop bullshitting ourselves and wake up to reality. Nothing will change unless we take action.
OH MISS DIOR, WHATS WRONG WITH U,CHEESEBALL
