@KobbyKris@jeffwellz Same Chale. Had same grade 08 and I could sense disappointment from my parents, uncles and aunties. Myself then I make disappointed. Those days double digit you no fit talk o.
Back then, 08 I had my third choice (I really added it just for formality sakes cos I knew first choice most def). I had no option than to attend. I dey the school 2nd term I want transfer but e no happen. Talking about 45. Ah God. Smh.
It’s our reality. I don’t know which year you wrote BECE or school you went. I wrote BECE in 2006. I had 08. I was ashamed bcos I knew I could do better. Chose General Arts and Prempeh rejected me with such results. My Brother had Eight ones and studied science so I wanted to join him there. Friends who went to Presec and co were more studious. We had shame then..especially if you knew your worth and had a particular school of choice.
Seeing the comments and quoted replies makes me laugh. Not until I came here which made me realize we’ve been wearing banku birks all our life. Least you can get is $100
Decrease in weight can come from fat, muscle, water, glycogen. For fat loss, prioritize more protein intake, calorie deficit and strength training as that creates conditions for the body to lose fat while keeping muscle
@kwadwosheldon All the good ones Dey Worcester. 50 minutes from Boston. Anokye krom to be precise. Gold Coast too be good. There’s also Accra Girls for Waakye.
Since moving to the US, Easter often passes unnoticed, no public holiday, no break. Life simply continues, and the day loses the shared meaning and atmosphere I once knew.
Too many politicians make promises they cannot keep, so telling young people not to rely on government can sound insulting.
But beneath the poor framing & the indomie from @fx_sosu, there is a hard truth we need to discuss.
Our educational system in Ghana is still far too narrow.
Many students go through university, earn a degree, and come out with no practical, marketable skill outside their academic training.
That is a serious problem, because graduate unemployment is not about to improve on its own. If anything, it may get worse.
In this era, a university degree is important, but for many young people, it will not be enough.
For the first time, HARVARD graduates are struggling to land a job.
Students need to start building high demand skills alongside their formal education.
The internet has made that more possible than ever.
There are skills people can start learning now that can create real income before and after graduation.
One thing many Nigerians understand very well is resourcefulness.
At Johns Hopkins, I met Nigerian doctors with side hustles in catering, sewing, photography, braiding, digital work, and other service based businesses.
This is not to say every graduate must become a trader or abandon professional ambition.
It is to say that higher education without practical skill building is becoming an increasingly risky model.
College still matters.
But in this economy, skill, adaptability, and initiative matter too.

I have a list of certifications and practical skill paths I often recommend to university students and recent graduates.
If enough people are interested, I will do a thread on it.
Charlie the people who come back with slangs eh its not their fault.
I apologize to those kind of looked at a certain way.
