Stop piling unnecessary pressure on men. The fact that he’s a man doesn’t mean he’s automatically responsible for providing whatever a woman asks for.
What if he simply doesn’t have it at that particular time? What exactly is he supposed to do? Steal? Being a man doesn’t make money magically appear. She could’ve asked someone else, yes BUT she could have worked for it too through her job or by getting a job.
From October 1, government says TRAFFITECH-GH cameras will start catching traffic offences and sending us fines.
Okay 👍🏾 .
Now point some of those cameras at the potholes too. When a pothole is reported, let the authority responsible also receive a message:
“You have 14 days to fix this road.”
If they don’t, there should be consequences too because how can the system find us, send us a notice, give us a deadline and punish us for missing it but when the streetlight has been dead for years or the road has been destroying tyres and putting lives in danger, we are the ones told to be patient?
The ordinary Ghanaian cannot always be the only one with a deadline. Government must have deadlines too. 🇬🇭
So a lot of times I hear Ladies say things like..
“Men love being providers, it makes them feel good when they’re able to provide”
Then when it’s time to state what makes them(women) feel good, they start listing what Men should do for them again.
I’m like.. If a Man doing something for YOU makes HIM feel good, shouldn’t what makes you feel good be something you do for your Man too ?
But I get it if you don’t get it.. Y’all are so soaked in self-centeredness that all you want to do is RECEIVE either-ways, so i’ll just speak to the Men instead….
If your girl is stating things that makes her happy/feel good and it’s all about things you should be doing for her(as against what she does for you)
Re-evaluate that union bro.
This morning, I believe I’ve made my point using the ordinary Ghanaian child as the standard.
Not NPP. Not NDC.
The child.
When she wakes up tomorrow morning and puts on her uniform, does she have a desk waiting for her?
Is there clean water when she is thirsty?
Is there a decent toilet when she needs one?
Can she sit in a classroom and learn with the dignity every child deserves?
She doesn’t know your political arguments. She doesn’t care who started the problem. She just knows she is sitting on the floor.
So if the answer to those questions is no, I will keep asking why until it becomes yes.
That doesn’t mean we cannot praise government when it does well. We should.
It means our applause must never become louder than the cries of the people still waiting.
Governments will change. Presidents will leave office. Parties will win and lose elections.
That little girl gets one childhood.
Every year we spend explaining who failed first is a year of her childhood she will never get back.
Forget the colours for a moment.
Look at the child.
She deserves better from all of us.
Ghana Must Work. 🇬🇭
If life finally works out for you, please don’t forget the version of yourself who was once struggling too.
The days you needed an opportunity. The rejection. The transport money you calculated twice. The people who helped when you had nothing to offer them.
If you enter government, build a business, make it abroad or finally become comfortable, don’t let success make you forget what struggle felt like.
Go back and open a door for somebody.
Success should make your heart bigger not your memory shorter.
Afrobeats And Its Links To US Secret Intelligence
Have you ever found yourself wondering why Afrobeats - the joyful soundtrack to the "Africa Rising" era from the late 2000s through the early 2010s - seems to have lost much of its energy and lustre of recent? Does it seem to you like the music no longer belongs to the fans and has become a distant, expensive product that nobody can relate with anymore?
You are not imagining it - in fact the reality of what has happened to Afrobeats is a lot darker than you would possibly imagine. Far from just a fresh music genre that embodied the sounds and aspirations of a new generation across the continent, it has been coopted into the arsenal of the US government's extensive foreign influence and interference tools. In fact, your favourite Afrobeats artist, as incredible as it sounds, most likely now has a handler permanently assigned to them by the US State Department.
In this special report, The Spearhead Senior Reporter Mckay Chukwu examines a story that has been hiding in plain sight for years, detailing the State Department's well-funded cultural interference infrastructure which has been deployed all over the Global South to bend entire populations and their governments toward the foreign policy goals of the US government.
My both kidneys failed at 31.
I went through Dialysis three times a week. I was dying slowly.
They put me on the transplant list and said I might not last. One night after dialysis I could not stand the pain. I shouted to God until I had no voice left:
The next test before transplant showed my kidneys working again.
No dialysis since. It's been four years and they still work.
The specialist said he had never seen such a thing.
I gave the rest of my life to God.
In Accra here, an ordinary man cannot even mount a chop box on any plot of land without authorities flashing the STOP WORK notice and seizing the work tools.
So how did the Laboma structure of that size in a wet land get erected?
Was there no Municipal Assembly in that area? Did they not have Engineers and the Task Force?
Don’t they have names?
Will they keep their jobs?
Zero accountability????
The greatest political trick in Ghana is convincing you that your party’s failure becomes acceptable because the other party failed too.
“At least we’re better than them” is not development. Ghana Must Work.
Imagine ordering food at 12pm, it arrives at midnight and instead of asking why it took 12 hours, you praise the rider for feeding you.
That’s Ghana.
NPP: “NDC couldn’t do it.”
NDC: “NPP couldn’t do it.”
Both have governed for 15+ years each.
Then they finally give a community water, roads or lights after years of neglect and you attack people for not being grateful.
Grateful for WHAT?
Stop celebrating politicians for delivering basic things decades late. You’re teaching them that failure has no consequences. We deserve so much more!
Women in Afghanistan, Africa, Iraq - war-torn countries with lack of electricity, no food, no clean water, barely any clothes - they are NOT crying about postpartum and killing their babies.
They give birth in dirt huts. 5, 6, 7 kids. No epidural. No therapist. No nanny. No break. And they understand it's part of motherhood and life. They prepared themselves mentally. They embrace it. That is their purpose.
This is why even in the West, you hardly hear about an immigrant mother killing her kids. Never.
But who IS killing their kids?
White women. With the BEST healthcare on earth. Successful and rich husbands. Supportive husbands who provided them a lovely home, best doctors, best hospitals, unlimited money, baby showers, maternity leave, Postmates, therapists.
Those are the ones crying on TikTok about postpartum and then drowning their own children in the bathtub.
Like, make it make sense.
The most privileged women in the entire history of America women who have more comfort than queens had 100 years ago - are the ones crying the loudest about postpartum?
This should make you angry.
This is Bonnie Pierce, a 38-year-old mother of three from St. Paul, Minnesota. Her house caught fire. She and two of her children escaped, then realized her toddler was still inside.
Bonnie went back in, found the child, but could not get out. She shielded the child with her body. She died from her burns. The child survived.
A GoFundMe for her family raised about $42,000.
By comparison, more than $1,000,000 was raised on GoFundMe for Lindsay Clancy, who was charged with killing her children.
It is a sad reflection of the society we have become.
RIP Bonnie.
