Growing up as a child in Dansoman, i always heard these songs like urm..Angelina and you know those songs that were hits back then and surprisingly anytime i am going somewhere and i hear a song that i used to hear during my childhood days im quick to search for it online so i add to my library. most of my friends are like "wo p3 tete nwom" but then there is just something about them that i can't put a finger on.

Well growing up i loved and still love music till this day because to me its just so spiritual, like the lyrics the tempo, everything about music is so deep for me, well i used to rap back in jhs/shs tho but then music and art as a whole, i feel like people don't understand it, i don't know if people do this but then when i am listening to music with headphones i try to make my mind focus on the kicks and other instruments behind and just not the lyrics, its just so beautiful.

im sure music lovers will really really understand me

what song did you hear growing up that you've grown to love?

I am looking to transport.10-15 people from Accra to Kumasi. I am looking to hire a fully air-conditioned minibus with a professional driver for a day for this trip.

Any recommendation will be appreciated.

Only the best-performing universities should be allowed to issue visas to foreign students as part of measures to reduce net migration to tens of thousands of people a year, a report endorsed by Michael Gove has recommended.

Onward, a centrist Conservative think tank, recommends that immigration rules should be “radically reformed” to reduce migration to a “sustainable” level. It says that the current level of net migration of more than 700,000 people a year “disincentivises automation and paying UK workers properly”.

In the year to September 2023 more than 486,000 student visas were issued, with an additional 152,980 visas going to the dependants — partners and relatives — of students. The report recommends abolishing graduate visas with limited exemptions for those with very high skills,

As the title indicates, this year especially, I've observed a mind-blowing increase in theft cases of electronic devices. It's pretty heartbreaking that someone's hardly-earned belongings just get stolen by individuals.

I was a victim of a phone theft about a week ago; the device was practically new, and so many people have shared similar experiences.

Some people want to blame the government for bad governance and a lack of jobs, but I think that's no excuse. The youth is looking for quick money schemes, and when they get disappointed, they engage in criminal activities to survive.

I also think the major telecom companies should collaborate and assist citizens in blocking stolen devices' IMEI numbers so that the phones become unusable and at least discourage thieves from engaging in this act.

Have you been a victim of a stolen device recently, or have you heard of such cases?

This just popped on my news feed. What is the backstory behind this sad story of a 61 year old humanitarian worker from Spout Spring who has been tragically murdered in Ghana.

I was having a conversation with my Filipino friend about homegrown brands in good standing that are (or have the potential to go) international. They mentioned a brand like Jollibee - a fast food chain competing with the likes of Maccies and Burger King in PH and has branches in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Dubai, etc.

I tried to do this for Ghana and could only think of Kasapreko and Fan Milk.

Are there any such brands in Ghana with that potential?

As if dumsor wasn't enough bad news 🤦‍♀️

The light off situation is becoming unbearable and my room is the hottest in the house😅 I checked Melcom supermarket and Melcom Mall. Both said they were out of stock and that people were rushing to buy all the available fans when dumsor started.

I would appreciate your recommendations, if you know of any places where the rechargeable fans are currently available.

Or how do you convert your cedis to an asset (crypto, assets, stocks, bonds) to protect your savings from currency depreciation.

Despite having non-African minorities that are prevalent in local business and society, there has been extremely limited involvement of such communities in politics.

Do you think that a Ghanaian of Lebanese, Chinese, Indian, or Nigerian descent could ever be elected to political office in Ghana?

Thank you!

I am a recent graduate of University for Development Studies with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry.

I have over 2 years experience in Academia, but I’m looking to leverage my biochemistry background and teaching experience to transition into the pharmaceutical industry for roles like Quality Assurance and Control, or Production Supervision.

I would highly appreciate any leads or opportunities anyone can inform me about or connect me to.

Thank you all🙏

I will be completing Tertiary by September. I wish to serve and inculcate the knowledge I've acquired over the years to the coming gen. But here in Ghana, there is no opportunity for young graduates. No startup money. Nothing. Just a certificate to galavant. I don't even have passport but I'm already dreaming of leaving this "hole" (In Trump's voice) What did we do wrong? A lot of people are saying it's not rosy overseas. High taxes, high bills etc. But it's better than being a basic school teacher in Ghana. It's a lot better. Why won't you comeback then? Why not come to Ghana when you find living in Europe and America Challenging? There are opportunities there. But in Ghana, even if you see the opportunity, where is the money? No bank will give a graduate loan to start a business. Is it a mistake to be born in Ghana where all your dreams and plans feel out of reach? Where there is no hope for the youth and coming generation? Now when I close my eyes, all I dream is CANADA.

Greetings, We plan to go on a group tour in Ghana and there will be some LGBT people in the group with us. Others are giving me hard time creating paranoia about it,

But my assumption is as long as you don't go promoting anything or drawing unnecessary attention most things will be safe.

Is it true in Ghana most people in day to day places in Accra don't care if someone is LGBT or not?

Tourists are treated well regardless of identity ?

Can someone actually report our group to the police ? Will this mean we have to bribe the police?

I assume if we just don't promote anything or draw unnecessary attention or attire everything will be fun.

The first time I went there, I called and ordered egusi with fufu. When I picked it up, I was able to use CashApp to pay. The man I dealt with was nice/friendly.

The second time I went, I walked in and made the same order. This time I spoke to an older woman (the owner, I think). She was much more hostile and seemed confused/upset when she realized (after some questioning) I wasn’t Ghanaian.

She asked why I wanted egusi. I told her that I tried it before and I liked it. Then she said they didn’t have egusi or fufu and instead gave me a spicy tomato stew and kenkey. She told me I had to pay in cash and that I couldn’t use cashapp. I went there a third time and had the same experience, so I just stopped going.

I used the services of this company some decades ago and was wondering if they are in business. They operated a small bus fleet.

NOTE: I'm the one predicting it, I have no source of information, I'm just guessing

Starlink in Nigeria costs 440k naira ($330 USD) for the hardware and the monthly cost is 38k naira ($30 USD) so in Ghana, it may cost around $400 USD for the hardware and $50 USD for each month

I'm just kinda guessing and also I think it'll probably come by the third quarter of this year as Starlink said on their site (now it says "Service Date is unknown at this time")

Do you guys have plans of moving to starlink and what ISP would you be moving from? And why would you be using Starlink over your said ISP?

It seems to me alot of Ghanaians and Africans have bought into the lie that immigrating to the west is the best option.

The west is declining

Africa is the way it is because of brain drain. The west steals the best and brightest as you can see by the strict immigration policy. A bricklayer is not getting a work visa but a neuro surgeon has a better chance of getting a work visa.

The only way Ghana can develop is by retaining its best and brightest.

Ghana should be attracting the diaspora from the west with the technical expertise to build up the necessary infrastructure that is lacking in order to have a functioning society.

How do you think our inability to catch up with the rest of the world is going to affect us as a country/continent? I've seen pockets of work going here and there including Google's AI lab here. Aside that nothing major. Infact we're actually still struggling with the bare basics in tech development how much more AI

How do you think we can collectively invest in it as a people/governments. That's if we need to focus on it at all looking at our existing mountain of problems

Finally, are you, as a person, upskilling or learning how to use it to augment your work? I personally use Pi, Claude, and sometimes ChatGPT on the regular. But I want to get closer to nuts and bolts of the tech itself. Probably partner with some AI/ML engineers to work some projects. Not sure how that'll look since I'm a writer

Basically what the title says. Has anyone ever worked in the gig economy, what tools and resources do I need to start? Did it work for you, what would you advise? Do you have other suggestions and or recommendations?
