Interested in health projects in Ghana

Hi guys

I am doctor in the UK, originally from Ghana, although have not been in many years. I am very passionate about healthcare especially in developing countries and would love to join healthcare leaders in Ghana to learn and bring change especially to cancer related care. Is there anyone on here that can connect me to the right people to contact please.

Grammy Awards

I am not sure if I’m right here I need your help. Growing up Grammys used to be a big deal. With the people winning Grammys lately and with their voice especially, I think Grammys has been watered down. I’m talking about recent Grammys where we have our neighbor bagging 2 Grammys.

GEMP in Ghana or Masters in Public Health abroad?

I(21f) just graduated last year with a degree in BSC Physician Assistantship. I have been finding it difficult making a choice to go for GEMP in Ghana specifically University of development studies or masters in public health abroad. Although GEMP is expensive, I don’t know if it’s worth it going after it. And with Masters in public health, how easy is it to get into the career market even though I get to go outside to study it.

Rant on asking better questions

Asking better questions isn't just about getting better answers,it's about respecting everyone's time.

Before hitting send or posting that issue, take 30 seconds to search existing discussions, use a search engine like Google/Bing/ DuckDuckGo/ Kagi/ Ecosia or Brave.

Show you've done the work.

Describe what you've already tried.

Be specific and as detailed as possible. Don’t make assumptions.

The difference between "it's broken" and "I'm getting error XYZ when running command ABC" is the difference between getting ignored and getting help.

Don't make others do the basic legwork you could have done yourself.

Want the full playbook?

Check out this classic guide on asking smart questions.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Ghana’s Parliament

Do we really think these our MPs - both NDC & NPP - represent their constituents? Are they representing their parties? Are we really going somewhere as a country with this?

It's troubling. Our parliament house is about 90% lawyers with very few MPs with STEM background.We should not focus on balancing the gender imbalance but also diversify the fields pf study.

The country is moving in circles ⭕️ . The opposition's prayer is to see the incumbent fail so that they get voted out of govt. Ghanaians are too comfortable - we don't have any competitor aside our jollorf $ football rivalries with Nigeria. In terms of AI, tech, STEM, we're miles behind Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Rwanda etc.

To the fashion gurus, GOT A QUESTION.

Is it fashionably reasonable to wear singlet under a NET SHIRT ?

Mind you I’m a thick man, and I am only doing that to cover my tummy, but does it work in the fashion world?

Help a brother style right. Lol

Team project: Volunteering

Hello everyone,

My team and I have been assigned a service project for the semester. This involves volunteering in any meaningful way—whether at an orphanage, through teaching, or any other form of support. The goal is to contribute to a cause that positively impacts others.

With that in mind, does anyone know of an organization in need of volunteers for a total of 40 hours?

Why does everyone own their homes in Ghana?

Nobody can buy a home in America. Nobody can afford it. Lucky if you can find anything under $500k.

Meanwhile in Ghana everyone seems to own land, everyone says they are building their house, you've got sons getting homes for their mothers before they turn 30.

Why is that?

Hypothetical Question

I just saw a post on social media that got me thinking.

If you spend the night with someone and you find them dead the next morning by you on the bed, what do you do to avoid a conviction?

Lawyers, criminal investigators and specialists in that field, thoughts and opinions?

PS: Per the Ghanaian criminal law parameters mostly but other jurisdictions are welcome for informational purposes.

Historical questions for model un (from an American)

Hello everyone I'm an American highschool senior in Miami, florida and at the end of February I have a model un conference and I'm representing Ghana in UNESCO. Our topic is the return and preservation of ancient artifacts. Some research on Google and I mostly find stuff about gold jewelry from the Ashanti (I hope I spelled it right) kingdom. But I mostly find headlines about a few artifacts that were loaned back for a certain period of time. What I know is the British had a war with the Ashanti kingdom eventually destroying it and in the process stealing artifacts, but I cannot find much information on the cultural importance of all this, at least noy easily. So I decided to ask over here to see if y'all could explain, clarify, or add in anything that I'm missing.

Stop the double standard!

Abba,I'm a young Ghanaian girl who happens to be in the dispora, but before I left, this is what I've noticed.

Cheating:if a man cheats on his wife ,sees other women and has children with them outside the marriage and it's very common in African films.And in real life,the lady is expected to forgive him or give him another chance.Or it's apart of their nature and other kinds of bull.He might even sack her even !!!

But if a woman cheats (I'm not defending the woman's actions at all), the man gets angry, hurt and disappointed, and heartbroken and would leave her, and no one blinks an eye.

Why is it so accepted!

A lot of men seem to be hurt and betrayed (not saying their wrong, they have every right to be, and SO DOES THE WIFE! Does she not have any emotion!! Abba.

Edit :The real reason why I made this post was by observed. Yes, I am young, but it doesn't stop seeing stuff wrong with society, especially with treating women. Yes, cheating is bad, but we seem to see it very differently with each gender which I don't seem to understand. Both are wrong. In my class,a 14 year old ,a literal child, has already put in his kind that it is okay to see other women where married, he got mad if a woman does cheat on him ??? This was literature class? My kid brother believes the same thing ? Do you see the hypocrisy? A child has already been taught him it's ok ?
