Why should you invest in the stock market?
DANIEL OFORI — Ghana’s richest individual investor on the GSE
He started buying shares in Ghanaian banks quietly over two decades.
His GSE portfolio today: $64.95 million
7.5% stake in GCB Bank. 6.8% in SOGEGH. 3.9% in CAL Bank. 5.91% in SIC Insurance.
When GCB paid its GH₵1.00 dividend in April 2026?
Daniel Ofori received GH₵19.87 million in ONE dividend payment.
He did not sell a single share. The company paid HIM.
WARREN BUFFETT
Started investing at age 11. His company Berkshire Hathaway owns stakes in Apple, Coca-Cola, American Express and dozens of others.
Net worth: $168 billion. Built almost entirely through stock market investing.
JEFF BEZOS
Yes he founded Amazon. But Amazon is a publicly listed company on the NASDAQ. His wealth exists because people could BUY SHARES in his company.
Net worth: $233 billion.
BILL GATES
Microsoft listed on NASDAQ in 1986 at $21 per share.
Today it trades above $400.
Early investors turned $1,000 into over $19,000.
NOW LOOK AT GHANA’S GSE IN 2026:
GSE-CI up +69% YTD
MTNGH up +53% YTD + paid GH₵0.46 in dividends
GCB up +200% in 12 months
CLYD up +769% YTD
IIL up +900% YTD
The stock market is not gambling.
It is buying ownership in real businesses and letting those businesses grow your money.
Daniel Ofori did not get rich by keeping his money in a savings account.
Buffett did not build $168 billion under his mattress.
The market is open. The GSE is accessible.
The only question is, when will you start?
DYOR. Investments carry risk. Past returns do not guarantee future performance.
Charley it’s time to retire the Messi vs. Ronaldo debate and start a new era.
Lamine Yamal, the stage is yours.
Go introduce yourself as the next GOAT.
If you're in your 20s, you should be loving market dips.
Why?
Because every dip gives you the opportunity to buy quality assets at lower prices.
When prices fall:
✅ Your money buys more shares
✅ Your average cost drops
✅ Future returns can be higher
✅ You get to build your portfolio cheaper
The market dip that scares others could be the opportunity that builds your wealth.
Think long-term. Accumulate. Stay patient.

The real cheat code in life? Finding a significant other who's unproblematic, insanely attractive to you, and fully committed to doing life together with you. Everything else just falls into place.
Dear Ghana Education Service (GES) and Ministry of Education,
I am a qualified teacher who completed my training years ago, yet I still cannot secure a posting because of how GES recruitments are structured.
Every recruitment window opens from a specific recent year, this time 2023, and ignores the huge backlog of graduates from 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 who have waited patiently. Those of us from earlier years are automatically disqualified, even though we have the same or better qualifications. As the starting year keeps moving forward, many of us are left behind permanently and can no longer apply.
The saddest part is that when we apply for other government jobs outside teaching, our education degree or diploma becomes a disadvantage. Employers assume we will leave as soon as a GES posting comes, so they reject us. We are trapped in a system that neither employs us in the profession we trained for nor allows us to succeed elsewhere.
We are not asking for special treatment, only fairness.
Our humble request:
Open every GES recruitment to ALL qualified applicants regardless of graduation year.
Clear the existing backlog transparently and equitably instead of always starting from the latest batch.
Give every trained teacher who has waited patiently a real chance to serve our nation.
We love teaching and are ready to serve. All we need is an equal opportunity, not a system that keeps shifting the goalposts and leaves thousands behind.
We urge the GES and Ministry of Education to review this policy and make the process open and inclusive for everyone who meets the requirements.
Thank you.

Legal Education 101.
Before You do any business in Ghana: Read This First!
One of the most recurrent legal problems I witness in Ghana, is due to either our trusting nature; or the informality of our business transactions
One of the biggest mistakes people make is not signing anything at all.
You go to buy land, and they tell you, “Just pay first, we will prepare the indenture later.” You give someone money for a service, and there is no written record.
You pay a deposit, and everything is based on trust and verbal promises.
That is how many people lose money; or get arrested for defrauding by false pretences.
Before anything else, understand this: if money is changing hands, something should be written and signed. Even a simple document is better than nothing. It should clearly state how much you are paying, who you are paying, and what the payment is for.
Without that, you may struggle to prove anything later.
Once you are dealing with a document, then the next step is to protect yourself before you sign.
1. Don’t rush - If someone is pushing you to sign quickly, pause. You have a right to take your time.
2. Read it. All of it. - There is no such thing as “just sign, it’s standard.” If it is important enough to sign, it is important enough to read.
3. If you don’t understand it, don’t sign it. - Ask questions. If the explanation is unclear, walk away or get someone to help you review it.
4. Check the names. - Make sure your name is correct. Make sure the other person or company is real.
5. Be clear on what you are paying for. - Especially for land. Is it full payment? A deposit? Documentation fees? Site allocation? It must be written clearly.
6. Pay attention to the money terms.
How much? When? Are there penalties for delay? Is the money refundable?
7. Look for what happens when things go wrong. Can they cancel easily? Will you lose your money? Can they change terms later?
8. Never sign a document with blank spaces. Anything left blank can be filled later. Not in your favour.
9. Take your copy immediately. Don’t leave without it. Ever.
10. When in doubt, ask for help.
A lawyer, a friend, someone who understands these things. It can save you a lot.
Shalom
As a salaried worker, each month you get paid, 10 to 20% of your income should be used to buy Assets. Do this consistently for 10 years and you will be better than 99% of your peers.
Let's contextualize it. Let's say 10 to 20% of your income gives you ₵350. In 12 months, it gives you ₵4200. In 10 years, it gives you ₵42,000 without returns. If this investment gives you an annual report of 12%, your portfolio will be worth ₵78,412.56.
Your hard work gave you ₵42,000 and your smart work(compounding) gave use ₵36,412.56
One reason is also our unique boarding school system - people from Bolgatanga attending Prempeh college in Kumasi; from Accra attending Tamale secondary in the North; from Koforidua attending Bishop Herman college.
We often underrate that mix!
