Isaiah 41:10 [NIV]
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will hold you up with my righteous right hand.

We need the political class to go after each other. Not because of patriotism (we know they don’t have that), but because of malice.

They should continue imprisoning each other. Ghana will be better for it

The East Palace on Netflix is one hell of a show.

The scenes are visually stunning, the storytelling is so good, and the action...huh!

I was disappointed some of the characters did not meet their end, but on a whole it's a strong 9/10 for me.

[#Odeishie🏳️‍🌈 @cornerlis]

@larbisarah247 Or maybe they just have bad taste, because how else do you explain it?

[#Odeishie🏳️‍🌈 @cornerlis]

So all the rich Ghanaians that watched The Polygamist and saw the aerial shots of the green, well-planted suburbs, and the close-ups of the verdant gardens, did they not feel jealous?

Did they not desire to live in such an environment?

Will they copy same? 🤔

You don’t have graduate unemployment because of the courses being offered in universities. You have graduate unemployment because the economy continues to shift toward low-value service activities and isn’t creating enough meaningful jobs.

It’s easy to celebrate GDP growth and throw around job creation numbers. But those headline figures mean little if the structure of the labour market isn’t changing. If the economy isn’t generating enough productive, formal-sector jobs, graduates will continue to struggle regardless of what they studied.

The problem is fundamentally one of economic structure, not simply university curricula.

Ghana's former Minister of Education whose PhD was in Education Policy and Administration says a BA in Education or Development Studies is useless. How are we going to get PhDs if no undergraduates take those courses? I'm befuddled. 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Whilst we rightly abhor the many negative stereotypes about Africa, sometimes even the positive stereotypes hold us back.

Like the idea that Africa is a lush, green, continent.

If you fly as much as I do, you can't help but notice on descent how ungreen the continent is becoming and how greener cities in Europe, for e.g., have become.

The WHO says the average person needs a minimum of 9 square meters of green space to be healthy (ideally, 50 square meters.) Most major African cities barely provide 3 square meters.

I have attached a brief list of cities around the world & what percentage of their landmass is covered by greenery. It's really something.

Part of the problem is the "aniteɛ" concept I was describing last time where each person maximises their strategic intelligence and the whole society becomes dumber as a result.

One easy example: how mega-developers behave in Accra.

The Accra Mall has triggered a new high end district around Boundary Road. Expensive condos all over.

Yet, each developer has decided in their boundless wisdom not to spend any land on pavements. Like zero pedestrian walkways. Forgetting that the prices of condos are affected not just by the quality of the build but also how livable the neighbourhood is. Green spaces don't just clean the air; they also minimise flooding and heat waves.

Would smart folk who won't even sacrifice a bit of profit for pavements create any green space? Would municipalities who make their money from commercial buildup care about pavements and green parks?

Your guess is as good as mine.

For a queer series, Ticket to Heaven is so Christ affirming.

It's the perfect watch for people trying to reconcile their faith with their sexuality.

[The Republic Vs @KojoDante]

To have occupied every single office in the land and still have this legacy dier somway.

[Mawunanunyam @i_am_nunya]

You’ve been President of Ghana for 7 out of the last 14 years.

That means you’ve been President for almost every other rainy season since 2012.

You were President during the June 3rd floods that claimed over 150 lives.

How have you still not figured out a solution?

[Übermensch @Kobinalutterodt]

We elect a lot of idiots in this country.

[#Odeishie🏳️‍🌈 @cornerlis]

Worked on my first review of a series episode.

In this piece, I share my thoughts on Barth's character in ep 5 of Ticket to Heaven.

Do read and share your thoughts.

Poor logic
Poor rationale
Poor justification

It is all politics to offer themselves an extended period to continue to exercise political power.

Term limits exist so that a leader who demonstrates good performance ( even if projects aren't completed) can be given a second term.

Developed and advanced societies that had/have a four-year term have still succeeded.

You aren't developing, not because you don't have enough time to exercise political power. You aren't developing because you make poor decisions, policies, fail to enforce your laws, and are corrupt.

A gullible population will believe every lie the politician tells to justify the poor performance.

I'm feeling second-hand guilt, Tanrak's guilt, in Ticket to Heaven.

Love shouldn't be this difficult 😭

[Local Girl || Angry woman @bbnasiba]

There are layers to this. There is the minor issue and there is the power issue. Even if she wasn’t a minor. The teacher is in a position of power, and power vitiates consent in some circumstances. You people need brains

[Übermensch @Kobinalutterodt]

The problem is some of you do not realize that you are victim blaming under the guise of logic. Are you supposed to have sex with a student as a teacher? No.

So why are you talking about the dressing/actions/words of students? Does that justify the act? No. From where to where?

The lightning is a paid actor, it was so on cue 😂😂😂

[we love ghana @weloveghana042]

🇬🇭Watch the shocking moment lightning struck people as they were dancing during a funeral.

[Max ✬ @Phualwayswins]

the ep starting with barth saying that he won't confess cause it's not like god will listen to him anyways but then the ep ends with barth confessing to tanrak because he thinks god may not listen but tanrak will AND THE WHOLE SCENE LOOKS LIKE A CONFESSIONAL.

Feminism doesn’t say women should be prostitutes or that prostitution is a feminist choice.

Feminism says women who are prostitutes should not be dehumanised, treated as less than, or subjected to violence, harm, social exclusion or loss of rights because they are prostitutes.
