I’ve come to understand that, you can be the best & still not be called for a job or given an opportunity, while someone with little experience can get that job easily because they have audacity. Look around & see those flying high, it’s because they put themselves out there , that’s the only key. You can’t be in your comfort zone and expert growth. This is an advise to myself
A country with a young population should be building factories, technical schools, farms, digital jobs, affordable homes and transport systems. If all we build is party loyalty, campaign slogans and excuses, then we are not preparing the youth. We are wasting them.
Ghana’s population is expected to be around 34.4 million in 2026. Out of this, about 12.6 million are young people between 15 and 35.
Every year, over 500,000 young people enter the job market looking for work.
This alone should make jobs one of the biggest conversations in this country.
But look at us.
Many of us are busy defending politicians who already have jobs, official cars, free fuel, security and monthly salaries.
Meanwhile, the young people defending them are the same ones struggling to find work, pay rent, start businesses and build a future.
Sometimes I wonder if we really understand the trap we are in.
The rot is so deep that in Ghana today, when a young person speaks, the first question is not whether the person is making sense.
The first question is, “Who paid you?”
That alone should scare us.
We have become so used to people selling their conscience that honesty now looks suspicious. Patriotism now looks sponsored. Speaking the truth now looks like an agenda.
And the saddest part is that the youth, who should be asking the hardest questions, are being trained to fight each other instead of questioning the system that keeps failing them.
They have turned our poverty into a weapon, our loyalty into a market, and our anger into entertainment.
So instead of demanding better roads, jobs, schools, healthcare, internet, drainage, security and real opportunities, we are busy asking which party someone belongs to.
A broken country does not only destroy buildings and institutions. It also destroys the people’s ability to believe that someone can still care without being paid.
That is the real tragedy. Ghana must work!
Mahama is the worst person to make excuses for. He’s been an MP, Deputy Minister, Minister, Vice President, and is now in his second term as President. The time for long speeches explaining the problem is over. You know what the problems are. Get to work and solve them.
I'm honestly pumped for a software update that's mostly just combing through the fine details, performance improvements, etc. Liquid Glass and a lot of recent design elements have felt sloppy. The fact that "same corner radius in every Mac app" had to be an announced feature is wild. Very ready for a cleaner, more efficient MacOS, iOS, etc.
