Helldivers 2 players, how are you handling Sony's new TOS?

Basically the title. How are the Ghanaian console and pc players handling this? I know steam is now allowing refunds because PSN isn't available in Ghana, but what about PlayStation users, can you refund the game, or your money is gone, and the game now bricked?

First time to Ghana

Hello all,

In a couple of weeks I'll be traveling to Ghana for the first time in my life. I have been to many places in Africa but never the west coast, so I am really looking forward to it. Do you have any tips for me to prepare for my trip? For example things I should bring that I can easily get in Europe but not in Accra? Or try to learn some basic words in Twi? I'll be staying in Accra for a couple of months. I can't wait for my journey to begin!

Thank you 🫶

Let's talk about the sad state of digital banking in Ghana

Being in the tech industry myself, I'm appalled at the sad state of digital banking in Ghana. In true Ghanaian fashion, it seems our banks think of their tech services as an after-thought, even though people have better things to do with their time than queuing for hours at a banking hall.

Pretty much all the banks here have very poor digital banking services. Half of the time the banking app or website is not working, or features on it do not work. I tried to set up a standing order on a banking app and it was not honored. I've had "instant" payments returned to my account for no understandable reason. Right now I'm using a website where I cannot even save recipients of a payment, so I have to enter their details each time I'm sending money to them.

I am experiencing these issues even with local banks that have supposedly won awards for being good at digital banking. Interestingly, I have none of these problems with US banks I deal with, and am able to do whatever I need to do with them online, with absolutely no problem.

Is it that individual customers are not important to these banks or what? Or they don't know how to hire competent engineers to build their digital banking services? Or they don't even know what proper world class digital banking looks like?

Heck, I think a novice 6-month boot-camp developer can code a better system than what I'm seeing with these banks.

Wedding shower

Hello everyone, this may be a bit of an unusual post, but I’m looking for some guidance. My best friend is from Ghana. She is an international teacher here in the US. I’ve spoken to her about throwing a wedding shower for her at our school after hours for all the teachers and staff to attend. She’s very excited about the idea, but I really want to include some things from her home country to make her feel special. Are there any snack foods I could attempt to make or special gifts or decorations that come to mind when you think about Ghana? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Nutrition here is quite concerning

Essentially the human diet should consist of mostly meats and vegetables, but the eating culture here is all about carbs, most of the traditional food like fufu and yam use carbs as the main nutrient, someone could eat a bowl full of rice and just two drumsticks for protein. My family eats this way and now everyone is built like a skinny-fat basement dweller

Why do ladies have to trim their hair when going to high school?

I've been wondering why there's a rule making girls trim their hair in our schools. It's sad to see many of them prefer wigs over their natural hair after high school. I don't get why this rule exists, it seems its doing more harm than good and maybe revising it will help.

Do you think anyone in education can review this rule? It's really affecting the confidence of some girls.

I'd like to understand why this rule was made and if it's actually been helpful. Maybe there are better ways to manage hairstyles without making girls feel bad about themselves.

Agro-bis is transforming

There is this investment app. It allows investors to rent land virtually and determine the kind of crop they want to cultivate,pay for it and that's it. In real life, Farmers will do it. At the end of the harvesting year, the crop is sold and profits are shared between the investor and the farmer.

Accra to Kumasi layover/ flights

Hi, I will be travelling to Ghana in may. My flight into Ghana goes to Accra, however I hope to get to Kumasi the same day. Due to my flight times the only options is either a 2 hour layover and fly with Africa world airlines or 2hour40 layover and fly with passion air.

My first question is a 2 hour layover realistic? I don’t want to get stuck missing my flight, however I have heard the airport is fast to get through. My second question is which airline is more reliable? The reason I am considering the shorter layover is I have heard passion airlines is less reliable.

Thank you for any responses :)
