But this projection was made early in 2024. At that same time, the IMF also projected inflation would end 2024 at 15%. Later in the year, the 2024 projection was revised to 18% as actual data came in. In the end, inflation finished 2024 at 23.8%.
Because the inflation numbers turned out worse than expected, the IMF revised its single digit inflation projection for 2025 to double digits (12%). Under that revision, Ghana was not expected to return to single digit inflation until 2026.
These projections were not guaranteed to materialize without government actions.

"The cost of reducing inflation" But IMF had already projected the single digit inflation for 2025. Why incur a massive debt to reach a point you were already projected to reach? Aboa a ɔreba fie no, yɛnnkɔhyia no wɔ kurotia

Here is the complete architecture of how you keep a poor country poor while convincing its educated class that this is their own fault:
Step one: During colonialism, extract capital, destroy domestic industry, structure the economy around export of raw materials.
Step two: Grant formal independence while maintaining the economic structure, the debt obligations, the currency arrangements, and the trade relationships established under colonialism.
Step three: When the economy underperforms, as it must, being structurally designed for extraction, not development, offer loans conditional on policies that deepen the existing structure.
Step four: Train the country's economists in Western universities where the theories taught do not acknowledge steps one through three as economically relevant.
Step five: Staff international institutions and domestic finance ministries with these economists.
Step six: When the policies fail, attribute failure to cultural factors, corruption, and weak institutions.
Step seven: Publish a report with recommendations.
Step eight: Return to step three.
The machine runs on its own now.
The colonial administrator retired.
The indebted finance minister presenting his structural adjustment plan to the IMF board doesn't think of himself as administering colonialism.
He has a PhD from LSE.
He genuinely believes the model.
This is not a conspiracy.
It is an education system.

Kwame Nkrumah wrote a book called Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism in 1965.
In it he argued that formal independence without economic independence was not real independence.
That the control of a country's resources by foreign capital, even without colonial administration, was a form of continued domination.
The United States State Department sent a formal protest to the Ghanaian government about the book.
A formal diplomatic protest.
About a book.
The following year, while Nkrumah was on an airplane to Hanoi, the Ghanaian military staged a coup.
The CIA's involvement is documented.
The book was published in 1965.
The coup was in 1966.
The Americans protested the book in 1965.
He was overthrown in 1966.
The sequence is not subtle.
The idea that neo-colonialism existed was itself enough to trigger the mechanism.
You did not have to be armed.
You did not have to be Soviet-aligned.
You did not have to be violent.
You had to be right.
Being right about how power worked was sufficient to activate the termination signal.
The label would follow. The operation would follow the label.
This is the system that the word "communist" built and maintained.
It is still operational.
The word changes.
The sequence is the same.

The word "communist" did enormous work during the Cold War.
It attached to Mosaddegh, who was a liberal nationalist.
It attached to Árbenz, who was a democratic reformer.
It attached to Allende, who won a democratic election.
It attached to Lumumba, who wanted the Congo's minerals for Congolese people.
It attached to Sankara, who planted trees and vaccinated children.
It attached to the ANC in South Africa.
It attached to the PLO.
It attached to striking labor unions.
It attached to land reform movements.
It attached to anyone who questioned whether foreign corporations should control a country's natural resources.
The word did not describe an ideology in these cases.
The word was a termination signal.
Once attached, it authorized removal.
It deactivated the normal rules.
It suspended the democracy promotion, the human rights concern, the multilateral consultation.
It bypassed every stated principle and went directly to the operational response.
Once you were "communist," you were outside the framework of people whose political rights the West was defending.
The label was applied to whoever needed to be outside that framework.
It was the most powerful administrative tool of the twentieth century.
It required no evidence.
It required only attachment.
And the people who attached it are still considered statesmen.

@the_Spartan_Dev that is the point; its about the whole comparison; Node is a runtime and laravel is a framework for php runtime. so a bad comparison. A better comparison would be laravel vs @adonisframework or vs nestjs or vs expressjs
English
I’m not sure what exactly the correlation here is.
The post I replied to was about Node vs Laravel for “Backend”. I said I ways go back to laravel. I’m not sure how you misinterpreted that to mean laravel is better, or how that translates to react vs c++which both serve diff func
Chinedu 🇬🇭🇳🇬@codmajik
@the_Spartan_Dev lol its like saying i have used c++ and react… react is better. this is a bad comparison

Your daughter stopped messaging me on IG the moment she realized she was losing the argument.
You and your daughter are atheists lecturing me on Catholic covenant theology who rejects the Messiah, rejects the Church, and still wants to explain Christianity to Catholics. Your temple was destroyed in 70AD and your left with a dead religion, dead language, and an atheist country committing genocide pretending to be God’s chosen nation. It has to be hard defending a terrorist state pretending to be “God’s people”.
Jesus Christ established the New Covenant in His Precious Blood. The Temple was destroyed, the veil was torn, the sacrifices of the old law ceased, and the old covenant was fulfilled in the long-awaited Messiah. He is Jesus Christ, true God and true man, the promised Messiah made flesh, the spotless final sacrifice, the Lamb who was slain and now reigns.
God’s people are not defined by bloodline, nations, or flags, but by faith, baptism, and union with Jesus Christ and His Church.
We didn’t replace you. Jesus Christ fulfilled you. Those who choose Christ, are His people.
You are welcome into the New Covenant like every people on earth, but the way is not bloodline, victim status, politics, or nations. The way is repentance, faith, and submission to Jesus Christ your King.
“But he was pierced for our offenses, crushed for our sins; upon him was the chastisement that makes us whole, by his stripes we were healed.”
Isaiah 53:5
Christ is King.

Farming has a global labor crisis and @776foundation climate fellow @oxncgen is building the fix — autonomous robots that plant, spray, weed, and monitor crops. Real hardware, real fields.
@3farmatebots is building from Ghana for the world!

But paystack became business to consumer(B2C) last year March using their extension of networks so this excuse is not one to fly at all. Only Ghanaian creators are facing these issues so far so let's stop making it look like it's global.
Don't defend everything chale
EL-DAD@ChristDeKing
The X Payout and Bank of Ghana Stripe makes the X payout through Paystack , but Paystack was built for businesses collecting payments, not for receiving creator payouts from a US platform on behalf of individuals. The specific setup that will help creators get their money is Stripe changing the payment channel from Paystack (built for businesses) to Citibank or any local banks.

This is the reason FFmpeg is not written in a Garbage Collected language. We can't just stall for a few milliseconds.
Also unlike gaming which can just lag and reduce FPS, video (de)compression must maintain real-time to have smooth video.
1ms is a lot but it isn't at the same time.
Sebastian Aaltonen@SebAaltonen
Same is true for time. 1ms is a lot in real-time software. 120Hz displays (new phones) = 8.33ms budget. 1ms = 12% of your whole budget. I remember an old article saying that garbage collection is a solved problem, because it just takes couple of milliseconds...
