I'm an active worker taking weekend classes to better myself. I want to maximize all available resources to ensure that I'm able to be efficient in my studies since my work tends to be very demanding. Can you share some ideas on prompts I can feed ChatGPT or are there other free resources I could utilize? If you have tried ai-assisted learning techniques, what has been experience so far? Any key learnings?

Can someone please recommend some of the (best) books they have read that provides a detailed overview of political regimes, events in Ghana since 1957?

Recently started my very first job and the first paycheck hit my account on Friday. I'm trying to be responsible and invest a portion of that in stocks. My problem is all the apps I know of either are geared towards day trading or have a vested interest in growth stocks. While that isn't a bad thing, the level of risk I'm comfortable with looks like dividend stock but I don't how how exactly to go about building a dividend portfolio. I tried the bamboo app and even the stocks that I 100% know pay dividend were represented as if they don't have dividends. So if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd be stupendously 😊

I feel myself getting sick and I want to stop it before it gets worse. I know pepper soup and ginger tea helps but is there anything else I can make to feel better?

I’m 30 years old. I met a man who I thought was the love of my life and agreed to stay home even as I have a university degree. We are engaged and were set to get married but series of events put a halt on that. I’m at a point where I realize that his archive of my wrongdoings will forever be held over me and we will never have a fruitful conversation or discussion about our life together. He always worried about his reputation but isn’t willing to shape up. Now I’m at a crossroad where I find myself pregnant especially when I wanted to leave. Thing is I have become very dependent on him for everything and we live together. I don’t know where to go from here. I have gained admission to a university in the US and have every intention of going but I haven’t had the luck of getting funding, scholarships or campus jobs and that is leaving me somewhat discouraged. Ladies and gentlemen I come to the Ghanaian community here because you are familiar with the norms and culture of the Ghanaian society and hopefully may better understand my plight. What do I do?

CONTEXT (Very Lengthy, Sorry)

So for context. From the beginning of the relationship, he used to go through my phone. And he would find messages that even I don’t remember them being there. And from the onset of our relationship, it started as a work relationship and then friendship. And then it became a sexual relationship. And then from there I told him a lot of things, you know, about my sexual life, about my relationships, you know, my romantic history and all of that. I told him a lot. And in truth, I didn't think whatever we had was going to go anywhere. And. When I realized I was getting serious, maybe I should have just opted out because there was so much I told him. But I thought he was cool with it because how he started out everything was cool. We started out as friends. And so on. And then as time went on, he didn't exactly make a proposal. So when we were having a sexual relationship, I was still in touch with a lot of my male friends. Some of them I had a romantic history with. And some of them confided in me because I was cool like that. Others asking inappropriate questions. But then again, I did not encourage it, but he made a big deal out of all of those things. And till date, he holds on to a lot of these things. And then whenever he does something that we need to talk about. He doesn't hesitate to bring all of those things from the beginning of our relationship. All the things he found in my phone. Even though I have apologized and made sure that I cut off these people so that we would have peace in our relationship. He still manages to bring them up in conversations because. I think he just tries to deflect the fact that the attention is on his deeds. So Fast forward we got engaged in the first quarter 2022. We moved in together not long afterwards. And at the end of that year, December 2022, I made a confession. At the time, he was still in touch with his ex and she's elderly. And she was sick or something, so he would, as we were living together, he would actually. He was living with me and my parents. As we were living together, he would chat with her or whoever was on the other side of the line. Trying to console her and all of that got to me. So I made a mistake and I cheated. I didn't sleep with this person. I didn't have sex with them, but there was unfaithfulness on my side now, Fast forward. That was before I engagement but I didn’t say anything until December of the same year, 2022. I told him about it. And. I guess it's just fuel that was added to the fire. So again, Fast forward to August/September 2023, he has a female friend. he‘s known longer than I have known him. And he tells me that he wants a sexual relationship with this person. Initially I had agreed because hey, I have had my fair share of escapades and whatnot. But as time went on, I realized that I loved him too much to share him. But then he will go ahead to hide things about what was going on. He would will be sleeping, and then he would get up and go and sit in the kitchen or in the living room and be on a video call with this girl. He would send financial help to her because the mother was sick and would hide the fact from me that he has been sending huge amounts of money to the girl to help the mother out. In fact, when he wanted the sexual relationship with this girl, he gave me her contact to discuss it with her. And throughout everything, I never disrespected this girl or said anything. He would have conversations with her on Instagram Vanishing mode and you know it is vanishing mode. So once you turn off vanishing mode, whatever messages there just disappears. When I was out on errand he will go to her house to go see her, when she wanted food he would at times send me to go get it for her. He really humiliated me because of this girl and I allowed it. And she wasn't the only one. There was another one that he would tell me that he's close from work. He's coming home and then he would go to wherever she was schooling and then go and see her. And then when he puts me on speaker to speak to her, he would expect me to play nice, but it didn't end well. Anyway. Fast forward to the issue with the girl. The one he wanted, the sexual relationship with, I confronted and asked her what was going on between the two of them and she said nothing and I asked her that if there's nothing going on, why is it that he's hiding stuff from me concerning her and she says she knows nothing about it. And I was like, OK, fair enough. I just needed to have some clarification because I have a lot of anxiety concerning him and her, and I know he's having an emotional affair, but he doesn't want to admit it. Now, I told the girl that he is working on a project at the moment, so she should allow me to talk to him about what I asked her. But she didn't wait and told him that I rubbed it in her face that she is poor which was never true. Now the next day, this guy didn't even listen to my side of the story. He just switched up on me and insulted me. In fact he verbally abused me. Oh my goodness. He insulted me threw my infidelity in my face which was totally unrelated to the issue at hand, among other things. And in that moment I was in so much shock and disbelief that the person that I loved so much went to the point of insulting me or degrading me, demeaning me for a girl he wanted to have sex with. It was so painful and hurtful, and after he calmed down he came to apologize, saying that he sorry, but it was my fault that he reacted that way. And it was that moment I realized this relationship was not going anywhere. So I had the opportunity to travel. I went for my sister's graduation in the US and I knew that that would be my chance to break it off with him and I did. I did break up with him, but not knowing he was logged into my Google account when I was having my own rebound sex and whatnot, he had preview to that and has added it to the archives of my wrongdoings and he doesn't hesitate to remind me of all of those things he saw there. But when it comes to him, he just wants to say sorry and never wants me to bring it up again. Now I come back and we are trying to fix things and it turns out that this girl that he abused me over, he has dated her. He has rented a place for her, bought washing machine for her, invested in all kinds of business for her and so on. And he doesn't see that it is one of the worst betrayals he could ever do. He doesn't see anything wrong with it. Now, that's not the only thing he's not he knows spends a lot of time outside the house coming home at 4 AM, 5:00 AM in the morning and. It's always something. He told me that he had cut off this girl. The one he wanted the sexual relationship with and eventually got it and more. But one time I went through his phone and saw he texted her on telegram that he was coming to see her so I followed him and found him right outside her door. This happened on OCTOBER 24, 2024. He managed to switch it upon me again. Making it look like my sins are so great. He never likes to be held accountable for the things he does. He never likes to be accountable because whenever you try to get him to see how wrong he is or that what he is doing is hurtful, he always manages to turn it around and blame everybody else but himself. And he keeps saying that. Why do I want to ruin his reputation and whatnot? And I keep telling him that you are the one who is doing these things and then they come around full circle. But then you don't find it wrong. Or you don't find that that it is you who is making these things happen. And causing hurt to everybody around you. And I was planning on leaving because I already felt I had been emotionally detaching from him. I was ready to leave if I had to go and stay. Somewhere in a shack or in, I don't know. Anywhere that was far from him will be better. But then I found out only last Sunday that at the time I was 5 weeks pregnant. It's just crazy and I honestly don't know what else to do. He is crazy generous. But I feel he is doing it for the wrong reasons, that he is being generous because he wants people to like him. And then he's generous with everyone. Everybody that he can see or come across or whatsoever. And then I keep telling him that you are trying to build a future. So if you are trying to build a future and you keep giving away the blocks, (I used an analogy of having blocks to build a house) if you keep giving away all your blocks, when will you gather enough to build your own house or your own future? And then there are people who become so entitled to the point where they're able to talk to you anyhow, and you still go ahead and then help them out. What does that say about you? He doesn’t know how to create boundaries; he is constantly chatting with other girls on social media especially snapchat. And this particular girl he can’t seem to let go of, she disrespected him, insulted him and abused him but he keeps running to her aid.

NB: I do some administrative work for him sometimes and then he pays me but I am mostly home.

Hey it’s my first time posting on this subreddit, i usually lurk. Yesterday i found out that my mother passed away while she was in Ghana and the person who told me said that she fell seriously sick and passed away. It reminded me of other times where my other uncles and aunties passed away because they were seriously ‘sick’ too and i was wondering if it’s normal for someone’s cause of death to be ‘seriously sick’ or ‘sick’ (i apologise if this doesn’t make sense 😭) Is it a way of trying to protect relatives of hearing what the actual cause of death was or does the word ‘sick’ have more meaning to it?
Even in some of the Ghanian movies i watch (with subtitles on) whenever a character is about die they show scenes of them having some sort of fever before passing away.

I’ve had this on my mind since and i thought the most appropriate place was here.

Thank you 😭

My friends and I are coming for about two months from Florida. What do other Americans do when staying long term in terms of malaria - do you take the malaria pills the entire time? Any other health concerns or safety tips we should know about for an extended stay?

Hey all.

I’m looking for a peaceful spot in Ghana where I can focus on meditation and prayer—somewhere with minimal noise, a calm environment, and a natural setting if possible. Ideally, I’d love a place away from city sounds, so I can fully disconnect and enjoy some quiet time.

Does anyone know of any good retreat centers, lodges, or even remote areas where I could find that kind of tranquility? Open to any suggestions—could be a center, a less-traveled village, or any hidden gems you know of.

Thank you for any ideas or recommendations!

Is it worth getting international certifications from Cisco, Aws or CompTIA in Ghana.

I do not have a degree. Since high school, I have always wanted to be in the tech space (specifically IT Cyber security) but due to some circumstances, I had to "postpone" my passion for tech and find other means to survive. It's been 5yrs and I'm still wondering which is the right pathway to take me into a specific field in Cyber Security.

Since I can't afford the fees these IT schools are demanding for 6-12 months courses, I decided to study on my own with resources from Cisco Networking Academy and other platforms.

After months of studying on my own, it seems just so impossible to get an entry job to practice what I have learnt.

Should I write on of these certification exams by Cisco or CompTIA? Will that give me a chance to get an entry level job into IT ?

I heard it's launched today. I'm expecting 5G on people's phones now. I've got none yet. Maybe my location. So, I'm asking if any other person has gotten it.

somebody pleaseee put me on on any legal and illegal money making activities i need a financial comeback for this year😂🙏

As youths, do we believe running away from our country will solve the economic hardships here. Everyone is running to the foreign countries to seek a living while things over here get worse by the day. What happens to those who aren't able to gather money to travel abroad

Anyone knows cost of gym in Accra, specifically Madina Botwe area? I would be spending a month in Ghana in December, how much does it cost please?

Can some help find pictures and books on pre colonial architecture.

Hello everyone, hope everyone had a wonderful and successful month and looking forward to seeing another great month ahead.🍁🍃

So, in this new generation dating era I have been seeing a lot of videos and reading a lot of things online and hearing a lot of podcast from men and women saying that SO MANY BLACK women have lost interest for THE BLACK men due to so much they have went through with the BLACK MAN; harsh behavior, the disrespect from them, the nonchalant attitude of not caring for black women, harsh talk, the rude behavior, the abuse, the mental abuse, not caring about black women, multiple women, shall I continue to name… i don’t have all WEEK , HMMMM BUT just so much that we have went through over the years from black men, I know this does not apply to every single black woman, and I know that there are very few black, good men remaining. But if we keep it real with ourselves, we know the SISTAS are tired.

The SISTAS are in different ethnic backgrounds marriages and thriving with families and happiness. It’s happening more and more. Everywhere!! They even got groups on social media about it.

these toxic relationship has to stop.

🛑 As I said, before, I know this does NOT apply to ALL BLACK WOMEN. YOU LIKE AND LOVE WHO YOU MUST… BUT IT DONT STOP THE TOPIC FROM BEING SPOKEN ON…❤️

IS THIS THE CASE? CURIOUS?
