No shade, but I don’t wanna hear from no NGOs about what’s going on in Haiti.

How’s this an apartment? Words mean things.
The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) says its officers, together with officials from the Lands Commission, have visited a six-bedroom apartment belonging to Chairman Wontumi at Tema Community 12 to take measurements and coordinates for a professional valuation. According to EOCO, the property was frozen last year, and the exercise forms part of due process. The activity was completed in less than 10 minutes without any incident.

Nigeria is hard but one of the easiest countries to live in. Ghana had electricity blackout for 2 hours & couldn’t charge my phone. In Nigeria there are phone charging centers powered by generators. I loved my to visit to Ghana except the unavailability of charging centers

Ah well. When the citizens wake up, that day will be a day of revolution. 1. The state pays police officers. 2. Police officers incur huge expenses for the state to operate. 3. The state bears the primary responsibility for enforcing criminal laws. Yet the state willingly gives a third party 40% of the total fines it receives, even though it bears the major costs of road construction, road traffic enforcement, maintaining a police force, and running a court system to handle cases where fines are challenged. Why not pay for the software and set up the human resource base to run it? But if it is done that way, how else can the politician's financier milk the state? Somehow, citizens are defending this.
I genuinely didn't see this coming! 😳 As someone who advocates for technology and public policies that improve lives, this Traffitech-GH revelation has changed how I look at the initiative. Ghana's Ministry of Finance reports that 40% of traffic fine revenue is earmarked for a private company, Nationwide Traffic Management and Enforcement Ltd (NTMEL), while the government receives 60%. And who owns NTMEL? • Frank Osei, Ghanaian entrepreneur: 60% • Sensys Gatso, Swedish traffic technology company: 40%. The contract runs for 11 years, from December 2022 to December 2033, with an estimated project investment of GH¢77.73 million. I've always supported technology that makes our roads safer. But this raises serious questions for me. If a private operator earns more when motorists commit more offences, how do we ensure road safety remains the priority, not revenue generation? What happens to poorly marked roads, missing speed-limit signs and unclear school zones? I'm not against Traffitech. I'm questioning the incentives behind its implementation. Are we building a safer road network or a revenue-generating enforcement system? Ghanaians deserve transparency on this arrangement. ghanaguardian.com/ghanas-sms… myjoyonline.com/traffitech-k…

We used to have boating events on the Korle Lagoon. That is how low we have sunk. The Odaw river was pristine.
Our leaders are destroying the country😭😭😭

Randomly remembered this the other day. Herh 😂😂😂
Andrew Huberman survived cancellation by simply ignoring it entirely and never once acknowledging it or talking about it publicly. Truly impressive.

I want to say something controversial but, if this Ghanaian boy who was killed in Bronx was Nigerian, none of this sympathy would have been expressed by other Africans, they would blame him and say things like “he tried to scam them and they killed him”

Mo deɛ mo.
Yesterday a guy told me his sister wants to be friends with me, so I asked him what’s her profession and where she lives and he said she’s a beautician who works from their family house (ie) nail tech, lash tech and makeup artist who works from home. I told him no, I can’t be friends with her and he asked why and I told him the simple truth; I don’t make friends with people who are more likely to become liabilities in my life, than be helpful to me. What am I supposed to do with a lash tech who lives in her parents house? Before you know it she will start billing me for everything as a friend because “you be big lawyer nau”. My friends are people who can be productive and we can both mutually benefit from each other. Eg my doctor friends and I exchange legal and medical services for each other and recommendations. My lawyer friends, I don’t even need to say it. We share briefs, share clients, help each other with cases etc. My friends in different forces (NPF, Army, Airforce, Navy etc), we help each other professionally. Heck even my chef friends, I don ever run free legal services and she paid by cooking a weeks worth of food for me to store in my fridge. Friendship is meant to be symbiotic and unfortunately being friends with some girls in certain hustles is an invitation to parasitism not friendship. Tf am I supposed to even do with her or gist with her? At least my other friends we can gist hours together about work experiences, but what do we have to gist about? How a customer didn’t want red nails? Or how a customer under charged her for fixing lashes?🥲😭🤣🤦🏽‍♀️ Even if I need a beautician, I already have a bevy of trusted makeup artists, I don’t fix nails and my lashes are long naturally so all I need is mascara. So what exactly do I need her for as a friend? Company? When I prefer being alone with my dogs than with people? Sha her brother said I am mean but him sef none of his male friends are into such petty hustles but na me suppose befriend financial burden say na friend. LMAOOOO!
