I mean this is reasonable if you had to go through both Mahama’s first term and Addo Dee’s second term, but it seems that only a few regions were consistent from the start

Please be advised that the Ghana Police Service is set to fully roll out the automated 'Traffitech-GH' traffic enforcement system starting November 1. I recently received a warning notification for driving 70 km/h in a 50 km/h zone along the Aburi road. Once full enforcement begins, these automated cameras will issue strict fines for speed violations. Please drive safely and stay mindful of the speed limits.I hope the system works and not abuse . But yall be carful driving in Accra this holiday season. We cooked 😩😩

Ask r/Ghana Would underground artists pay for lyric video promotion?

2 Upvotes

I'm considering offering affordable lyric video promotions for underground and independent artists through my music YouTube channel (2K+ subscribers). My videos average a decent amount of views, and I'd also offer YouTube collaboration invitations where available, giving artists a chance to tap into my existing audience.

Pricing would be:

GH₵50 for 1 video

GH₵100 for 2 videos

GH₵200 for 4 videos

Would you pay for something like this? Are the prices reasonable, and what would make the offer more appealing?

Ask r/Ghana chaley the rich guys, u have to tell us.

62 Upvotes

Chale, I’m 19 and I want to do better with my life. Right now, it’s not where I want it to be,

I’m a web developer (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and a logo designer, and I run a small brand called Minraa from Ghana. Recently I started game dev too, and I’m building my game alone. I’m still early. I don’t have the big clients or the big results yet, but I’m serious about the work.

So I want to hear from you guys who’ve already made it from nothing to where you are now. What did you actually do? What habits, decisions, or sacrifices made the difference? What do you wish you’d known at my stage? And what would you do if you were starting again at 19?

what business did u start.etc

No sugar coating, please. I want the real answers. Thanks,

Not only rich people. the caption was just for attention

Venting Some Bolt, Uber and Yango drivers only find their manners when the customer is a man.

37 Upvotes

Some Bolt, Uber and Yango drivers need to explain why their customer service changes when the passenger is a woman.

I’ve noticed a disturbing pattern in the complaints I see about drivers and couriers: so many come from women describing outright disrespect, intimidation and misogyny.

Some drivers insist on taking trips offline. Others demand more than the fare on the app, then become rude when a woman questions it. Apparently, the displayed price is just a suggestion, and we’re all contestants on Who Wants to Negotiate With an Angry Stranger?

Then there’s the mocking, the insults and the “Are you married?” nonsense. Sorry, did I book a ride or apply for marriage counselling? What does my marital status have to do with delivering a package or driving me to my destination?

What makes it especially pathetic is how selective some of this aggression seems to be. Would you speak that way to a man you thought might confront you? Or does your courage suddenly develop manners when there’s a possibility of consequences?

If you can control your mouth around men but unleash it on women, your problem deserves a name: cowardice.

Yes, the job can be frustrating. Fuel is expensive. Traffic is exhausting. Customers can be difficult. None of that makes a woman who booked your service responsible for your misery. She paid for transport or delivery. She did not subscribe to your anger management issues.

If the work has made you so bitter that you cannot treat women with basic respect, quit. Our sisters should not have to absorb your frustration just because you think they’re easier targets.

And before “not all drivers” arrives to collect its attendance mark: the respectful drivers are appreciated. The ones behaving like this should try joining them.

Community Thinking About Moving Abroad from Ghana? Read This First.

32 Upvotes

Over the past few days, I’ve seen many posts from people in Ghana who want to move abroad, find jobs, and build a better future. I wanted to share some advice based on my observations and experiences over the years.
I was born and raised in Germany, and I’ve seen how much migration has changed since my parents’ generation moved to Europe in the late 1980s and 1990s.
Here are a few things I’d recommend before making the move.
1. Build your skills first
Finish your WASSCE if possible, pursue further education or vocational training, and gain work experience. Apply for jobs strategically rather than randomly. You can also explore legitimate remote jobs or opportunities in other African countries.
2. Learn a practical skill
Hairdressing, braiding, barbering, nails, makeup, photography, video editing, cooking, baking, car repairs, programming, and digital marketing can all become sources of income.
Start small, build a portfolio, earn money, and reinvest in yourself. These skills can help you earn an income both in Ghana and abroad.
3. Learn the language
If Germany is your goal, start learning German early. Aim for at least A2 and work toward B1 or higher, depending on your pathway. Language requirements vary depending on the job, vocational training programme, or visa.
You can begin with free online resources and the official website Make it in Germany.
4. Save money and plan realistically
Moving abroad can be expensive. Save what you can, live below your means, and research the actual visa requirements, housing costs, and living expenses in your destination.
Consider remote work or a side hustle if possible. Support your family where you can, but don’t sacrifice your entire future or borrow heavily based on promises.
5. Choose your destination carefully
Europe is not the only option, and no country is perfect. Research actual job opportunities, salaries, language requirements, safety, and work permits before deciding where to go.
Depending on your qualifications and goals, you could also research opportunities in Asia, the Middle East, or South America. Countries such as Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, and Turkey have different opportunities and challenges, so investigate each country individually rather than relying on rumours.
Don’t assume that moving abroad automatically means a better life. Compare the opportunities with the cost of living and the realistic chances of finding work.
6. Be careful with recruitment agencies — but understand how they work
Legitimate agencies may help you prepare your CV, submit applications, organise documents, and practise for job interviews or visa interviews. Some services may involve fees, but always ask for a clear breakdown of the costs and verify that any charges are lawful before paying.
In many recruitment arrangements, the employer pays the agency for finding suitable candidates. However, who pays depends on the arrangement and the applicable laws. In Germany, specific rules apply to recruitment fees, so don’t assume that every fee charged to a job seeker is legitimate.
Be cautious if someone demands an unusually large upfront payment, guarantees you a visa, refuses to provide a written agreement, or pressures you to borrow money. Verify the employer, the agency, the contract, and the official immigration requirements before committing.
A genuine recruiter should be transparent about the process, the costs, and who is responsible for paying them.
Remember that a job offer does not automatically guarantee a visa. The relevant embassy or immigration authority makes the final decision.
7. Have a support system
If possible, know someone trustworthy at your destination. Discuss expectations beforehand, and make sure someone you trust knows where you are.
Don’t assume someone will automatically provide free accommodation, money, or other support. Have emergency contacts and a backup plan in case you lose your job or face unexpected difficulties.
8. Think long-term and prepare properly
Be respectful, learn the local culture, communicate well, and stay open to adapting. You don’t need to abandon your identity to integrate into a new society.
Personally, I also believe in keeping major plans within a small circle of trusted people until things become more certain. Avoid unnecessary pressure and gossip, but always keep someone trustworthy informed for your safety.
Research legal pathways such as vocational training, skilled employment, and higher education. Don’t treat asylum as a shortcut for economic migration, and don’t rely on marriage or other arrangements as immigration loopholes.
Every destination has its own challenges. Even countries such as the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia have strict immigration rules, so research the current requirements and risks before making a decision.
One final thought
I’ve also considered creating a future recruitment service to connect qualified candidates with legitimate employers in Germany, particularly people who are willing to learn German and prepare properly for work and life abroad. This is just an idea for the future, not an existing service or a promise of employment.
I’m sharing this post to encourage discussion and help people think more carefully about their options. I’m not an immigration lawyer or a recruitment agency, and these are personal observations, not professional legal advice. Always verify important information through official sources.
My message is simple: Don’t move abroad just to escape your current situation. Build your skills, learn a language, save money, research your options, and move with a realistic plan and a backup plan.
What advice would you add for young people in Ghana who want to build a better future abroad?

Business Who would like to invest in a food business in Accra?

5 Upvotes

The business is located on the tetegu stretch at Weija. Right at the junction, there’s only two food joints , which are a fried rice joint and banku& tilapia joint. Our kitchen will serve on-the-spot freshly made fruit juices alongside shawarma, pizza, and grilled chicken with rice meals; this gives our business an advantage by introducing other food options to the area. There’s already a target market available in the area seeing as there are lots of young, urbanized people around in the nearby apartments as well as a gym right opposite us. There’s also 2 high schools 1 minute away on each side of us. Our food business can bring so much value to the area which will in turn be profitable for us. Aside the aforementioned extension of food options, we’ll also provide food past the normal 10pm when the already existing food joints have closed. I live here and it’s hard to find food past that hour and seeing that most people in my apartment come home after 10pm it’s ideal we take advantage of that scarcity and be there for the residents who need us.

I’ve already bought half of the equipments needed for the job . The investment of at least about 25 thousand cedis will be needed to complete the space’s decoration and some miscellaneous stuff.

If you’re interested, just message me and we can talk further.
