Hello,

I’m supposed to be traveling to Ghana in a few weeks and I’m still stuck on the visa application. It requires an itinerary, which I don’t have. Am I just supposed to type up a vague general plan of what we intend to do each day?

Also, can we get visas on arrival? We’re American.

Thanks for any help.

So I recently made a post here about my husband who is obviously cheating? now I just want to know about what do parents think about cheating? My husband is there with his dad and I think this woman is around the family. Do Ghanaian parents turn a blind eye to cheating in their children’s marriage?

My husband and I are moving from the states to raise our two children in Ghana. My son will begin kindergarten next year and my little one is a toddler .

Having been raised in the US, we’re hoping we can have a quiet peaceful life in Ghana where we can raise our kids. My husband is born and raised in Ghana and has an established business in Ghana. We both have degrees and he’s been in the US for ten years now.

I guess my question is- what should I expect when I put my son in school? What’s the expectation like for children entering kindergarten and what new changes I should expect from my day to day?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Hey, I am visiting Ghana during the last two weeks of January as a solo traveller and am looking for unique cultural experiences, such as cultural festivals that I could partake in or at least spectate. Any recommendations?

I’m coming to Ghana this month, and have a dress I need to be taken in as it’s too big. Can someone recommend anyone please? In Accra

Anyone here with a good Laptop Plug in Accra .? Budget is anything less than 4000 cedis

Hello Ghana, is there any oil company or firm that allows students to do internships? Or any marine company? If yes kindly assist .

As part of my counselling sessions my counsellor wants me to get the opinions of folk who have been married for some time and how their sex life is now, goal is to see whether or not quality and quantity has either increased or decreased over time...

You can answer with eg. "6 years of marriage, we have more sex now than ever, like 6 times a week!"

Chale!

Is anyone here investing in something called XRP or Brett coin? I’m based in Ghana and will like to invest. I just saw them on social media. I will appreciate if someone can give me an insight, suggestions and probably assist me in making the purchase too.

Thank you!

I’ve never heard of Ghanaians complain of racism in the USA?

Do they refuse to talk about it?

Just wanted to ask how the visas on arrival are going so far in Ghana ?

Hey Ghana ! Any nice events this December? Or any interesting group( either WhatsApp, X, Snapchat etc) that we can all socialize ☺️

Guess Xmas is all bout love ❤️

Your vote is your voice, your power, your choice. Whether you cast it or withhold it, the decision is entirely yours, and no one can take that from you. There’s no such thing as a wasted vote. Whether you vote for a candidate outside the duopoly or choose an independent candidate, your choice carries meaning.

Don’t let anyone dictate how you should vote, or if you should vote at all. The pressure to conform, to align with someone else's vision, undermines the very essence of what it means to participate in a democracy. Your decision is a reflection of your beliefs, your frustrations, your hopes, or even your defiance. It belongs to you and no one else.

Make your statement, unfiltered and unapologetic.

My husband is Ghanaian. He visits Ghana a couple of times of year and he says he has friends that are females but they are just friends. What is the culture like for men and women that are friends? Is it normal that they wear his shirts?

If you had to pick one or the other from each category, what will you prioritize in a starter apartment?

1. One bedroom or two bedrooms at a 50% added cost
2. Guest bathroom or a bigger kitchen
3. Open kitchen or a closed kitchen
4. Balcony or a bigger bedroom

What would you want your ideal space to look like? All ideas/extra opinions are welcome 😁

Is anyone coming to Ghana this December? I need help with getting my package to ghana

The Vietnamese property tycoon Truong My Lan has lost her appeal against the death penalty for masterminding a multibillion-dollar fraud scandal – though she could still save her life if she can repay most of the funds she embezzled.

The case is part of a wider, national corruption crackdown known as “Blazing Furnace” led by the former secretary general of the Communist party of Vietnam, Nguyễn Phú Trọng, which has led to the indictments of thousands of people.

Does anyone know if this was real or just PR?

I’m visiting Ghana from the US for an extended time, just out of a casual relationship and I was wondering what the culture is like around dating especially women my age group (I’m almost 21). My parents are Ghanaian but cooler than other family members who say things like if you have a boyfriend you’re a bad girl or people at my stage should focus on study. Do people date and where would I meet my age group to hang with?

There is this herbal powder I see most Ghanaians using called "ekikime" that they usually put under their tongue. Can someone confirm what it's ingredients are? And any side effects?

I’m too old to be thinking like this.

I’m insecure because I’m autistic and have ADHD. I used to have body dysmorphic disorder. Understand where I’m coming from. You will never know how it’s like to be a neurodiverse woman with so much trauma in her life.

I had an ex white boyfriend who was a culture vulture and visited Ghana a few times.

That guy cheated on me with a Ugandan woman who I thought was prettier than me. At that time, my brother was sick with cancer and had chemo. He made a great recovery.

There are times when I get angry at the both of them. I should’t really be angry at the woman. I should be angry at the man.

I have a very hard time trusting people due to all the sh!t which happened in my life. I was abused in my childhood because I’m neurodivergent and treated badly in my life because of it.

I’m not asking for sympathy I just want you to emphasise.

If I had a boyfriend whose a different colour to me, I will take him to Ghana.

I do apologise

I’m a Ga American born and raised in the US but soon moved to Ghana, living there for 4 years with my father’s side of the family. Although it gave me a bunch of trauma, I loved my time at home and created a family of my own that I still talk to which includes my friends I made in private school. It’s four girls: one Liberian, one Ghanaian, one Fante American and, one Beninois. Me and my girls were like 🤞🏾 but this Beninois girl, around COVID time, her and I were very close. Let’s call her D.

Obviously we all know queer rights are unheard of in GH but as a teenager who was heavily sheltered, it’s hard finding people who I could truly be myself with or even relate to. She was everything your stereotypical African teenager wasn’t. We both were queer, listened to k-pop (although that’s becoming popular now 😂) and altogether had morals/opinions that most would consider Western. One thing that stood out to me is that she didn’t hold my Western identity against me. Like, in my first year of living there I couldn’t speak Twi and still I hardly can (I speak Ga and French fluently) I felt embarrassed that I couldn’t speak it well with my Ghanaian classmates jokingly asking “Ah, are you even African?” I know it’s all jokes but it still hurt. Yes, I’m very proud of my Ga background but some people fail to remember I’m still American.

Anyways, her and I are very close until one day she did something that just completely turned me off. I was talking to my junior who’s a guy in our music room. He was venting about his family when D enters and asks about when we’re going back to the dorms. I tell her to give me a moment. I assume she would leave but she stays there, trying to pry out information concerning what we were talking about and inappropriately asks “Why? You’re doing something you’re not supposed to do ehn?” At that point I’m like bro, let’s talk tomorrow. I find out the next day she texted the guy asking him if we were sleeping together later that evening. I was so upset because not only was that my junior but it just wasn’t her place to ask. When I told her how uncomfortable I was, she mocked me for having boundaries and even being uncomfortable in the first place because she was “joking”. Chale the way I vex so after that we stopped talking.

Fast forward yesterday after like a year or two, she texts me telling me she’s in the US and wants to meet up with me and our other friend. Why not right? Catch up and all that. We all meet up at this really nice aesthetic place with like flowers and whatever. As we’re chatting I mention how I still haven’t gone for the pride parade and was hoping to go the following year. D goes on this tirade. I mean like telling me how disgusting that was, how it was a phase, that I needed intervention. The table was dead silent after that. Even the next table was looking at us kind of in shock. After that, I just paid my part and told her it was good to see her.

The group chat has been blowing up. They added D for us to talk but I made it clear to everybody that I really wasn’t trying to talk to her ever again. The first time she made me feel uncomfortable, our friends were trying to persuade me to overlook it and squash the beef. With the meet up going so well I was considering it until that happened. The only friend who’s really listening to me is the one that was there. She’s Muslim yet still loves all of me.

I don’t feel particularly hurt that she doesn’t accept me. I feel more so hurt on that fact we were such good friends and it’s unfortunate how we can’t go back to that. I obviously don’t want my friends to stop being friends with D but obviously they will want to hang out with her, ultimately inviting me but I’m not willing to sacrifice my comfort. I offered that we can have our meet up’s without me there or without D there but the girls don’t want any of us feeling left out. Any advice welcome.

I always feel lazy when studying, it's just not in me. Whenever I make up my mind to study I just get distracted or I'm not interested. But I have to study cause time is ticking away and I.As are approaching. Its quite frustrating.
