Al Jazeera’s Gold Mafia investigation secretly records Zimbabwean businessman Simon Rudland and associates discussing alleged gold smuggling and money-laundering networks, while also examining links involving President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s family and First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa.
I think the Ghanaian movie industry is just useless, look at beautiful culture beautiful material and I've never seen an epic film from the Ghana movie industry, at least nollywood is giving me Oyo. Ghana 🇬🇭 SEAT UP!
I have seen your comments and I have seen your concerns. But this is my story.
I do not expect you to understand or sympathize. That is not what I am looking for. What I want to do is raise awareness.
Initially, when this happened to me, I thought I was cursed or something lmao😂
I had been so quiet about it for so long that, to an extent, I think it was eating me up. For a long time, I felt like I was the only person experiencing something like this.
But ever since those two interviews, quite a number of young women and mothers have reached out to me with similar, if not the same, experiences. Some were confused and looking for answers and solutions, just like I was years ago. Some didn’t even know that what they were experiencing had a name until I spoke out, and are now beginning to ask questions and seek answers.
And this is weirdly comforting to me, as I’m sure it is for them too. I see them, and they see me. And that is a very wholesome feeling in itself🤍
I’m grateful that I can be a point of contact for women searching for answers or simply looking for someone who understands. If sharing my story helps someone feel less alone or take the first step toward finding answers, then I’m glad I chose to speak.
I intend to be an advocate for these kinds of issues women experience, so that the girl child does not feel unseen🌸
I like how everyone is down here talking about how she’s to blame, blah blah blah, but that’s the exact same behaviour most of y’all express at your workplaces.
You come in late; you’re rude to customers; Uber drivers asking for extra money for confirmed rides, you accept rides yet refuse to move the vehicle, you go and hide in the storeroom and sleep when customers are outside waiting; you steal cement, sand, stones and other building materials from construction sites just because you’re a worker; you cause a nuisance just because you’re a manager; and you sleep with every female NSP, intern or temp that pops up in the office because you have a fine face and a beard!
None of y’all are better than her. Most of you are just the same. Her attitude is a direct reflection of the behaviour of many of you. The difference is that hers is being put on display for everyone to see, while yours happens behind closed doors at your workplaces every day.
And that’s the uncomfortable part: we are very quick to condemn someone when their behaviour is exposed, while ignoring the same attitudes and behaviours in ourselves and in the people around us. We complain about corruption, poor service, indiscipline and people abusing their positions, yet many of us participate in these exact things on a smaller scale whenever we get the opportunity.
That is why Ghana is so rich yet its people so poor. The problem isn’t only what we have; it is also our mentality, our attitude and the way we treat one another. If you don’t like the salary you’re being paid then chaley quit rather than staying around and being a daytime witch!
What we need as young people is a change in mentality, attitude and behaviour towards one another, not sitting here pointing fingers and judging someone for doing something you do every day, just in a different form.
Let the insults start … 🤷🏾♂️
