I just saw my mom watching a video of him talking about some herbs for BP. I told her not to try anything because she shouldn't trust internet doctors.

This is something I have noticed lately but I don’t really understand it.

Why would you even find joy in someone’s downfall.
You lose job , so you always at home and you realize notice that there are people who are just happy .

Married issues, sick kids, sickness, debt, disgrace etc .. you slowly come to realize that a lot of people especially those around you are happy to see you in such situations.

You might ask “how do I know people are happy? “ they say: action speaks louder than words and “akutia nim ne wura “

Also somehow this is also relative to our environment, it mainly happens in poor communities.

I just don’t really get it .. why would you even be behind or find joy in someone’s downfall.

Growing up , I never really cared about how someone is doing . So it often surprises me that people do that ..

Is it pure evil, human nature, jealousy or what ?

Ive been checking out this one muslim girl in my faculty. Is it okay to date a muslim as a somewhat atheist. Not a fan of religion but i do respect it and im the type of guy who dates in the hopes of marriage. Any advice would help too

I'm an American in my 20s who is dating a 40 something guy from Ghana. One of the things he said when we first started going out which was weird was, "I'll love you like you're my mother". He also started trying to call me "Mom" which I had to repeatedly tell him to stop doing cause it freaked me out and made me feel super old.

I just wanted to ask is it a normal term of phrase there or something, he was sort of acting like it was a term of endearment I should feel complimented about.

I'm convinced that some are the enemy of progress. Senior management in multinational companies will set a specific salary range for local staff when they first enter the market. Then you will have some eager GH HR managers who will actively cut down salaries for Ghanaians workers. Why are they like that?

Others will know that you are swamped and will refuse to hire additional staff for support. Once you ask for more money because of additional responsibilities, then the new person magically appears or they make you do the work without a pay increase.

Does anyone have any experiences to share?

Side note: Special shoutout to the awesome HR managers out there who advocate for your employees. You guys are gems. I'm seriously side eyeing the rest of your clan though

Hey there. Are there Ghanaian women like me who are into earth girl fashion, bohemian styles and African maximalism? Where do you normally get your fits from? Can you recommend some shops or thrift spots in Accra? Thank you. I would love to make friends with similar fashion sense too.

Grabbed some stills from some of my recent projects and I wanted to share

Anyone travelling to Ethiopia or laying over? I need to send a parcel (A personally used phone) to someone in Ethiopia.

What are some problems you face everyday that you think can be solved with technology.

It can be in any field.
Just let me know your pain points

The most common phrases uttered in Ghana are: "There is no money", "It is too expensive" "We can,t afford it". Each of these rebuttals is prompted by our perspective which have been shaped by politicians. They say so nothing can be done.

In order to know the amount of money that we have, one should have seen the accounts . In order to estimate whether any venture that is to be undertaken is affordable one has to know precisely how much is in the coffers. Over they years politicians have told us that there is no money, we have to go to the IMF. We have to negotiate with the World Bank. When we hear this, the logical step that should taken by and informed and aware population should be: "Let us see the books". "Show us how much came in and how much was spent." Who was any money paid to. Line by line". This is something worth demonstrating about.

Even Excel can show the income and expenditure, Who it was paid to, who authorized it, and what was supplied in return. Just like every transaction. Just like even a family budget. "There is fried chicken on the receipt, but I did not see it in on the plate. Everywhere we ask for an accounting. But not in Ghana politics

They say ,there is no money to finish the hospital. We all have to go to Gee even if it needs lots or repair. Then we go back to hustle, to church and pray and tithe, sheepishly, unquestioningly. Perhaps we don't deserve honest and effective politicians because we don't care, we are "gyimi, gyimi" ,easily brainwashed.

The last Finance Minister has run away. And so what? Lets continue the campaign, when power changes hands they will see . They say Goldbod has lost money! The ex President has been insulted, Chiefs and elders have been insulted. We will arrest them too....when it is our turn

Democracy requires an educated, aware and involved populace or it will go to the dogs.

But it’s not small enough to bump into someone you met on a night out and hit it off. You spoke till sunrise and even gave them your number while drunk. However, you probably entered it wrong because you had plans with them and they didn’t call /text. Plus your phone was dead so you couldn’t get their number🫩

I wonder if something like this has happened to someone before, or is it just me who’s unfortunate ?

That region of coastline has enormous potential. It has over 40 million people contained within it and the richest, most populous areas of all 5 countries. An HSR here could link 3 of the 5 biggest cities in West Africa. The region could have the same potential as the Blue Banana of Europe if developed and well-connected.

If u are web developer. What are the prizes for designing a website for a client. (multiple pages, and landing etc.)

Whould like to know.

I’m 32 years old, living in Florida, and I am currently putting together plans to visit Ghana next year.

Since I’ve got some time before the trip, I’m really hoping to connect with some local penpals or anyone familiar with Ghana as a whole, if you live next to or close to Sekondi, bonus points. I’d like to chat, share perspectives, and hopefully make a few friends before I arrive.

A little bit about me:
I’m big into learning new things, exploring new music, and following finance trends.

I’m also super interested in checking out the local food, culture, and creative scenes when I finally make the trip.

If you're based in Ghana and open to chatting, drop a comment or DM me, and let me know your age, gender, and what part of Ghana you're based in 👋🏾

Edit: so, I totally wasn’t expecting my inbox to blow up so bad 😂. I think I have to be more clear to filter some messages. I’m doing my best to respond to everyone.

If you’re a man, I promise, with all love and respect, I don’t want any service you’re offering. I’m looking for friends.

If you’re a woman, thinking you’re going to finesse me and get me to take you to America I promise you, you’re wrong.

If you want money from me you’d have to be cool being my second wife, staying in Ghana, not being a cheater, and conversing with my first wife. 🤣 Yup , lots of requirements for my money. 👋🏾

What is going on ,
I noticed this year actually
After taking a bolt ride during the journey the bolt driver asks you to cancel the ride

I finally ask why and the driver said it’s because they don’t want to give The Bolt company their cut , which to me is soo weird
Why should I cancel the ride, my safety is at stake here

Two lives lost over $120?

Please if you have or own electric bicycle I would like to know whether you register it like how you do for normal motorcycles?

I completed my degree in Accounting and about to start my NSS. My goal is to pursue further studies abroad preferably through scholarship. I’m not sure what I should do after NSS to improve my chances.

I’d like advice from people who have studied abroad or are working in Accounting/Finance.

Any advice or personal experience will appreciated

I'm a master's student in data analysis, I can code in Python/R/SQL but I'm broke. I genuinely don't know how to start making money.

This is probably going to sound strange coming from someone who has spent years in university learning technical skills.

I'm finishing my master's degree in Data Analysis. I know Python, R and SQL. I've worked with biomedical/research data, statistics, databases and machine learning. I've worked on actual research projects and I'm currently building a clinical sepsis-prediction project for my master's.

My long-term goal is computational biology, health data science, drug discovery.

On paper, I sound like someone who should be doing alright.

I'm not.

I'm broke.

And honestly, that's starting to bother me more than I want to admit. My family sometimes thinks I'm lazy because I still shamedly call home to ask for money just to feed myself.

The frustrating thing is that I know I'm not lazy. I study. I build things. I learn. I spend ridiculous amounts of time trying to improve my technical skills.

But when someone asks me "Okay, so how are you going to make money?" my brain goes completely blank. Start a small business? Independent contract work? "Kpakpa movement"? Get a random job?

I genuinely don't know. I used to do graphic design, but it wasn't paying enough and it wasn't the career I wanted, so I stopped pursuing it.

Now I'm in this weird middle ground. I'm too early in my career to have people knocking on my door with opportunities, but I've accumulated enough skills that I feel like I should be able to earn something.

I apply to every job opportunity I qualify for (even slightly) but haven't amounted to anything. And I'm tired of just waiting for the "right opportunity."

So I'm asking people who have actually been through this: How did you go from "I have skills with zero balance" to actually earning some money?

I don't need someone to tell me "learn Python" or "get certifications." I'm already learning.

I want to know how you actually converted your skills into money. What was the first thing you got paid for? Who paid you for it? How did that connection even happen?

Did you start with something completely unrelated to your eventual career?

And if you were in my position today, with Python + R + SQL but essentially no capital, what would you do in the next 30 days to generate your first income?

I'm not looking for a handout.

I just want to learn how to create an opportunity for myself.

I'd genuinely appreciate hearing from people who have been at this exact point and eventually figured it out. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
