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 ?

What car should I get? Where and when?

Hi everyone! I’m in the market for a new (or used) car and could use some advice from the community. Here’s what I’m looking for:

  1. Budget: Anything below GHS250,000.
  2. Purpose: Daily commute to work on weekdays and general out and about within Accra, Church on weekends, trips out of Accra once or twice in a year.
  3. Preferences: Fuel-efficient SUV or Sedan.

I’d love your recommendations on:

  • Which car models are best for Ghana’s roads and conditions?
  • Whether to buy in Ghana, wait and ship from outside if duty prices drop?
  • When is the best time to buy (e.g., end-of-year sales, specific seasons)?

I was at VW the other day saw their T-Cross and Virtus. Really caught my eye. But prices were above GHS300K.

Colleagues at work have also advised to get a Toyota or Honda for reliability. I am a new car user by the way.

Also, if you’ve had any great (or terrible) experiences buying cars in Ghana, please share! Thanks in advance for your help! 🚗✨

U.S visa appointment scheduling

Is anyone else having challenges securing a US visa appointment via the new platform (AVITS)?

Everytime I try to pay with any of my cards, the system declines it. I have more than enough money to cover the fee.

Are there any solutions to this? The call line and email address have not been useful.

ORAL committee and the important issues still needing consideration

Ghana, like other African countries, have had a sordid history of corruption and skirting the rules. The only possible remedy is to start somewhere, by resetting at least part of the regulative aspect of our laws and politics and make it immutable, no matter who the ruler is.

Many have welcomed, the move to dive into this issue by the new administration. However, I am disappointed that members of the ORAL commission were not obliged to declare and make their assets and interests public in order to assure all, that they are just, and fair executors of the new dispensation.

This lack of transparency, is providing sympathisers of the former ruling party with ammunition to question their intentions for genuine reasons. this is what opponents of ORAL should harp on instead of the moronic argument that" they got away with crimes, so we too must get away with our crimes"

The most important thing for the nation is that accountability must start from somewhere. That is the only way to break this cycle of nation wrecking. OK, if they prosecute perpetrators with proven evidence, the next regime should as a necessity prosecute with evidence. After several political successions, accountability will become the norm our politicians will LEARN

And for all Ghanaians, we must realise that the main ingredient of a successful democracy is for individuals to align with the group that serves their interest. In a mature democracy, a trader, or driver or teacher, or farmer, should align with those who will serve their interest, but not a person of your kin whose policies would be detrimental to your life. This seems to happen but only the wealthy class who will laugh all the way to the bank while the poor will be frantically complaining. We are in the learning process but improving, even if at a snail's pace.
