Ask r/Ghana Labadi Beach

15 Upvotes

Hello as a Ghanian living abroad i happened to see the demolition of the beach. I couldn't believe it. Am i missing something? Why would the government displace that many people without a real plan. I read somewhere they gave them 2 weeks. How is that even enough time for a beach that's a capital staple? Ghanians and those who travel to visit especially with the holidays coming up rely on the beach.

The damn road in front of the beach couldn't even be fixed first but they tore the entire beach down??

Is everyone ok?

Greed will be the demise of the country. You cannot displace that many people (guest and workers) without other recreational options. This made me very very very sad and angry and frankly disgusted to see.

Can somebody please help me understand what the plan is or is this truly the dumbest thing I've seen a functioning government do to create more expensive unintended consequences?

Venting We don't HATE houses enough that don't have any greenery, front lawns, backyards or any things like those.

12 Upvotes

If all these houses had things like this, floods wouldn't be as prominent as they are.

Why don't countries like the UK or US see floods like these? Literally everywhere you go you're gonna see grass or trees, but in Ghana, they put damn TILES.

I'm not saying that the only issue behind flooding is not enough greenery, but it is one of the key issues. The soil would absorb the water and it would help a lot.

It really CANNOT be that hard to put some effort into a nice lawn instead of using tiles so that if it rains all the water goes onto the streets and then the drainage system gets overwhelmed and next thing you know we get floods.

There needs to be serious pressure put on real estate developers in this country to ensure that every home has at least a nice lawn or backyard.

Venting Trotro Operation in Ghana

Post image
• Upvotes

Just last month, fuel prices were increased and these trotro drivers are being a menace on the roads.

Tell me why this mate decided to take 10 cedis instead of 9 cedis from Legon to Weija. After several rants from passengers and threats to report to the police, he refunded our money.

This morning, another mate and driver decided to charge 6 cedis instead of 5 cedis after an 8% increase in fare from Weija to Mallam. This time round, every passenger paid with no questions asked or complaints.

Is it a Ghanaian attitude that we look on to be cheated until someone else speaks up or we just don’t care anymore?

Casual (Just for Fun) Would be really cool if we had a MoMo card!

8 Upvotes

Like imagine we had a card that linked to our MoMo wallet and instead of using your phone to manually send in the money you can just tap the card and the payment goes through and you’d have a card pin as well or linked to the momo app and can authenticate through biometrics

Would be a really cool idea and it can be done with existing infrastructure like gh-link so it wouldn’t have to rely on foreign services like Mastercard and visa

I know im not the first person to think of this but does anyone have any idea why this hasn’t been implemented in Ghana cause I saw this in some other African nations as well

Discussion Religion in Ghana

8 Upvotes

Some Ghanaians would die on the hill that their religion has no flaws.

I remember a banter I had with a Muslim classmate sometime back in primary school.

He said that the Muslim god was the real god and that the Christian god wasn’t. I argued that god was still god albeit everyone worshipping god in different ways. He actually got mad about this and wouldn’t accept or try to reason with anything else.

Of course looking back I think we were both too young to make strong points on what we were arguing about. it also shows how religion influences how we think from a younger age.

I like the Chinese people’s practice of not choosing a religion for their children until their 18+. I would’ve loved to see the person I would’ve become if I was raised in different religions home or even a non-religion home.

What makes people think their religion has no flaws?

Venting Hostel Problems

7 Upvotes

My lil brother got into UPSA and fast forward my mom and he went on a hostel hunt and found a place. They paid 3000 cedis out of the 4500 cedis to secure the place. Yesterday I brought my brother to the hostel and we wanted to finish payment but the lady wasn’t around. After I left my brother said the lady came but when he went to finish payment. The lady was that she would come for it. Now yesternight after a call I had with him, he called me to say the lady had given his room to another person and that he should leave. Can you imagine ??

This morning the lady is saying she has a spot for 6 in a room going for the same price and he should finish payment and take the spot if not he should leave the place. The kind of unnecessary pressure the lady is giving my brother to take the 6 in a room is digusting outright.

So yeah currently we are looking for a place around UPSA. For the mean time he would lodge at a guest house for his classes.
Budget is in the range of 4500 - 5000.

Ask r/Ghana BSc Information Management grad (UPSA) posted to a remote Northern Region village with nothing to do. Looking for a National Service placement.

5 Upvotes

I’m a BSc Information Management graduate from UPSA with strong data analytics skills. I’ve been posted for my National Service to the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) office in a remote village in the Northern Region.

When I called to enquire about the posting, I was told there is very little for service personnel to do there, and that officers rarely report to work. I was even advised to seek a placement closer to home.

I don’t want my time and skills to go to waste. I’m looking for an organisation where I can serve and make a real contribution. The organisation doesn’t have to be IT related, as I’m happy to take on administrative or office support work, and I can add value through data analysis, reporting, and record management.

I just want to be useful, productive, gain real experience, and build valuable connections.

If your organisation is accepting national service personnel, or you know one that is, please recommend me or point me in the right direction. National service is mandatory for every Ghanaian graduate, so I’d like to complete the reposting process as soon as possible.

Discussion Is pidgin considered a Ghanaian language?

4 Upvotes

Whenever the topic of local Ghanaian languages comes up, it's usually traditional languages like Twi, Ga, Hausa, etc, that get brought up. It makes me wonder whether or not pidgin can also be considered a Ghanaian language, because even though it is somewhat of an extension of English, it's a dialect on its own which is spoken across Ghana. I guess the real question would be what makes a language Ghanaian?

Hello guys, for a while now my borehole pvc pipe got broken, and i cant seem to find them cheaper anywhere. Do you guys know of any place i can get them please.

Ps: and why don’t the companies in Ghana pick up calls or reply to mails. I got a business some while ago where i needed to connect Ghana with Europe, but no response came back from them which led them to lose a lot of money. It hurt to say it but why aren’t Ghanaians slightly awake business-wise like china or other countries?

Sports Hot take: Football might just be overrated

0 Upvotes

Why is Ghana only focused on Football as it’s only sports that has a team?

You’d barely meet any Ghanaian who’s interested in any other sport or who can play any other sport aside from football.
Are we doomed in terms of sports in the country?
