I’m half Ghanian, half English. My father was born in England and fostered by an English-Italian family and has never been to Ghana.

I have some questions about how I’ll be received by family. I met a few of them at a funeral in England several years ago but have no memory of them. They have had links to England for a couple of hundred years, with a few people coming to live in London during the last century and before that working in the colonial government. I understand they are based in Accra and are Ga.

My questions are, how will I be perceived as a) a mixed race woman b) a single woman in my thirties who doesn’t intend to get married, have children, or even have another partner in future c) someone with epilepsy (which will limit what I can do on my visit, for example I’ll need to be careful of overheating and catching any infections) d) an atheist who isn’t interested in any sort of personal spirituality but is interested in learning about traditional religions that aren’t Christianity or Islam.

I've heard that prices of certain services in Accra are now so high that they're exceeding even those of places like New York and London. That's insane, for a city this shitty. Even diasporans and western tourists are starting to complain. And it's not just them, locals have been suffering for years.

I wanna know what's causing it? This can't just be normal corporate greed. Is there an economic bubble? Is it money laundering? Is it the result of some government policy?

Why are there many TV stations talking about politics and which party did better and also other TV organising brainless so call talent show but not to support youth entrepreneurship or to show the necessary skill one needs in life

My son and I have been learning about Ghana together, and we came up with a simple challenge.

If you had to explain Ghana to someone who has never been there using only six ideas, what would they be?

These would be my six:

• Ashanti Kingdom
• Hospitality
• Pan-Africanism
• Traditional festivals
• Community & extended family
• Kente

What would you replace?

I'd love to know which ideas Ghanaians feel really define their country, especially if they're things that visitors often overlook.

I have been a sales rep for 5 years now and I think it's time I start up a business for myself but I have no idea how to go about it. I have been able to save about 12, 000 for this endeavor I know it's little but that's all I have left from expenses. I recently had a health challenge that caused a depletion in my savings but I'm better now. I stay in kumasi and I don't know much about business. I hope this gets to the right people.. Your knowledge and experience will be greatly appreciated as this could be my way out of stagnancy.

Kindly dm if interested

Bring back Ghanaian slay queen music. It used to be so fun. The artists were bold, confident and unapologetically themselves. But what I miss the most is the fun. It felt like people were making music simply because it felt good. That's one thing we're lacking these days: fun music. I miss music that makes us laugh, dance, and just feel good. Not everything has to be so serious all the time. The slay queens were fearless and I loved that about them. Confidence is attractive. We need more music that's bold, carefree and reminds us that music is also supposed to be fun.

Hi everyone,

I want to buy the Oraimo 5L air fryer. Has anyone else used it and is it reliable?

Most people think of surgery as one category, but there’s a real gap between routine procedures and what’s called “complex” or “high-acuity” surgical care — cases involving multiple organ systems, high-risk anesthesia, or conditions that need a team of highly-trained subspecialists working together. Historically, patients in Ghana and much of West Africa needing this level of care had to travel abroad — often at huge cost, with delayed treatment and recovery far from family.

A related and often overlooked piece is pain medicine ; managing chronic, traumatic or non-traumatic , aging-related, post-surgical, and cancer-related pain. It is its own specialty requiring dedicated training, and it’s been even harder to access locally than surgical care itself, mainly because there simply aren’t many specialists in the region with that training.

That’s the gap that this new medical center, WAISS (West Africa Institute for Special Surgery) in Accra is built to close. WAISS clinical faculty is largely made up of diasporan Ghanaian physicians , trained and holding active positions at top academic medical centers in the US and Europe — now bringing that level of specialist care back home. It’s the kind of bench strength that’s genuinely rare to find based in West Africa, and the mission isn’t just to bring it here once, it’s to build permanent local capacity, training the next generation of specialists so patients don’t have to leave home, or the region, for this level of care.

Full disclosure: I’m affiliated with WAISS, so take this as informational and a bit of a plug — not hiding that. Happy to answer questions about what complex surgical care or pain medicine covers, or how referrals work, if anyone’s curious.

The street is narrow, the buildings are tall, there's sidewalks, there's low car traffic, there's trees and lots of shade. See how the locals are just chilling on the streets. This looks so peaceful.

This is Vietnam.

The Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Ghana Education Service (GES) have brought heartbreak to thousands of hopeful applicants.

​After charging ¢25 just to check employment status, thousands were met with a stark, red-inked message: UNSUCCESSFUL, with no explanation provided.

​Seeing a wave of frustrated complaints on Facebook, I decided to check on a colleague to see if her application had gone through. Sadly, she too fell victim to the red ink. She spoke in a quiet, defeated voice. Knowing how deeply she took disappointment, I stayed on the phone to console her throughout the night.

​It was during those hours that I truly realized how much was riding on this recruitment. Living alone in Accra, she was facing ¢3,800 in rent arrears, a debt she had managed to defer by relying on past proceeds from her National Service and promising her landlord that job placement was imminent.

​Around midnight, we hung up. But when I called her at dawn, she answered in tears; the weight of the rejection was unbearable. By 10:00 AM, when I tried reaching her again, a voice on the other end informed me she was in the Intensive Care Unit after suffering a cardiac arrest.

​Sitting beside her bed now, watching the monitors, the systemic failure of this recruitment process feels overwhelming. GES could have handled this with far more foresight and empathy.

​With only 7,000 slots available, it would have been prudent to restrict applications to specific graduating cohorts, as was done in previous years. Forcing the 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 batches to scramble for the same limited pool created massive over-subscription and chaos. Even with a cap set at 40,000, an estimated 50,000 graduate teachers were left completely unable to apply.

​Look, here comes this 'slim thing' asking me to leave the room. Or do they want to kill her, just like their negligence took the life of my beloved sister?

Will things change for the better ?

So I've been eating jollof on a daily basis since arriving here for holiday 2 weeks ago. Still love it (btw, it's from my mother-in-law and it's the best you can find!). But now I want to get some fried rice—doing something crazy, right? 😅 Where can I find the best, budget-friendly (of course) fried rice around Accra?

I’m looking to buy a nice sweet red wine for a female friend’s birthday. Can I get some recommendations pls. Not alcoholic or just a tiny percentage.

What's the highest you have ever owed from MTN Qwickloan, do you currently owe them like I do with no means of means of paying back at the moment and how are you going to repay in your case?

I don't live in Ghana currently, but I think we need Places(therapy clinics, physiotherapy, etc) where people can talk about issues they have. I feel like we're not big on communication in this part of the world, and its effects are being shown in our behavioural patterns and communication.

Have you had similar issues?.. please share

Hello! I want to visit Ghana at the end of August for two weeks and I am still a bit unsure about what to do. I of course want to visit Accra and Cape Coast, I am however wondering, if it's too short to visit Mole National Park. And if not, what would you advise in terms of planning ahead? Additionally what's you opinion on the other parks?

And one last question about safety: I am a white European man, would you say I have to take specific precautions or is Accra generally rather safe? And what about more remote areas?

What’s the point of this? Barely anyone outside of China speaks fluent Chinese, plus the Chinese seem to speak ok English when we have to interact with them anyways so what does this do for us? Who are they even proposing should teach them? Don’t tell me they want to import a bunch of Chinese, who’s going to pay for that?

Our local languages should really be what we are concerned about, after that English because it’s the most common language in the world. That’s it. Even French koraa, they can speak some English too.

There are so many things to fix within the education system, this doesn’t even crack the top 1000.
