“ I wanted to be happily married, so I put in the work. There has to be intentionality about how you respect your husband and ensure that, as a woman, you are not overbearing or overly demanding.”
Tara Fela-Durotoye, entrepreneur, communicator and women’s advocate, shares tips on how she has sustained her 25-year marriage while building her business.

When clients come in and complain that they can’t afford high legal fees but they can pay maybe Ghc 400 cedis a month, they’re referred to the Legal Aid Commission. However these same clients will complain that the lawyer or practitioner at LAC does not have time or is overburdened or the matter is “slow”.
If 10 of these people are referred to Legal Aid Commission and they can pay LAC 400 a month, that’s 4,000 cedis and those matters can be handled by a single young lawyer that will benefit from it.
If it’s “free” pupillage, then it should be free pupillage at the Legal Aid Commission, not in a private law firm that will benefit off the back of the lawyers.
500 lawyers should be sent across the Country to supplement District Assemblies and Legal Aid Commission offices, Infact from EPA to FDA to DVLA etc, they should just receive new legal postings.
Law students shouldn’t be required to do NSS after LLB. The Pupillage should be their NSS. Post them, let them generate clientele from wherever they’re posted and let them start their simple practice. It’s that easy.
The problem is not that Ghanaians can’t afford legal services, the problem is that private law firms are expensive because they have a lot of maintenance and overhead costs.
If someone can pay 500 a month he should be referred to a LAC lawyer, the LAC lawyer will handle 10-20 of such matters a month and the contributions are sent to them. The government pays for the offices and desks across field.
Private law firms can cooperate with the government by sending their pupils and lawyers to work with the LAC, handle probono cases where the person can pay 300-500 a month to cater for some of the legal fees and the government and law firm takes care of the rest.
If they’re not encouraged the whole system will collapse.
Imagine a law firm takes 3 new pupils, pays them 3,000 monthly at least and tells them to go to the legal aid office to handle probono matters and learn. That’s proper on the job training.

Also I hope the church does better for its members. Big men for some of the church’s all dey know be say dem go wear matching shadas plus WiFi, paddy Osofo and be the chair for fundraisers. Help the youth for the church. Mentor them and put them on. Nyamesom is not all about money.
So rn these trotros have decided to load to short distances so they get more money. So instead of loading to Accra straight, they’d load to circle take the money and start loading to Accra from circle and take another money hm
