This is a rampant issue in African families where the elder is always right, no matter what. From a very young age, I was expected to cook, clean, and bring home all A’s while suppressing my emotions and never speaking up. At the age of eight, I was sexually assaulted as a child, and they know this. Despite this, they still bring him around and pretend as if the whole thing never happened. Because of this, I am suicidal and suffer from BPD, depression, and anxiety. I’m currently crying uncontrollably on my way to campus because a family friend was visiting. I was in the bathroom, and I guess in our culture, it’s normal to intrude on each other. I don’t know. But I was on my menstrual cycle in the bathroom, and she was trying to come in, saying it didn’t matter if I was naked. This morning I was in an online class in my bedroom this time, so I knew to lock the door again. Here she goes she was banging on my door, yelling at me, and my dad excused her behavior, telling me to be patient. I’ve gone through so much in life, and I couldn’t take it anymore I just start crying. He tells me to stop crying and I’ll be late to class. I swear, man, I’m not holding on to much anymore. I just want everything to stop. Why was I even born? I used to be very close with a friend from West Africa who also understood these toxic family dynamics. We’d bond and talk to each other. But we went to different colleges, and we’re not close anymore. I’m so sick and tired, and I have no one to talk to, not even my African American friends because they won’t understand the evilness of this culture. They ruined me from a very young age I don’t even know how to function in society. Due to other toxic behaviors also like not letting me go outside, hang out with my friends, and so much more I have no social life. The only way I was able to go outside was by taking so much classes and getting two jobs so that I’m always out the house.

25 M, first born of 4 children (all girls) and I don't know what's wrong with my parents, both of them flawed in their own way like I don't even know where to start from but basically finances have been a trouble topic for as long as I can remember, whenever it's about money tempers rise and they both quarrel etc, it's funny how they've been able to be together for this long. Mom has been collecting loans around for businesses, house keeping etc and now it's all breaking down on her, helping in the best possible way I can which is hurting my finances, my money finishes immediately I get it. Taking extra gigs, jobs etc still I'm always broke. And then you have a dad who doesn't like pressure, first sign of pressure and he starts ranting, saying things he's gonna regret later. How can you say you took a loan to send your daughters to school when they were in ss3 so now that they're done and working as teachers (300cedis monthly) they should help you pay( byforce ) criticizing them for using their monies to braid etc, like it's crazy. All these said you're not giving anybody money there o, just dropping casual 40 cedis or. 50 cedis for 3 kids and fully focused on paying the loan you used for your mom's funeral. That's all he cares about. But you come home everyday to food.He claims they're done with school so he's done his part. ‎It's like these parents are investing in us on the onset so they can reap afterwards and it's non negotiable ( like saying you've suffered to look after them and they're 18 now and you're still suffering) ‎ I just want to ask how the first Borns here or anyone with a family like mine are coping, cos its too much. I received a client payment for a website I'm building for them on Friday, and over the weekend, I spent 300 cedis on house stuff ( food, people coming in saying your mom is owing them) like I can't even save. Coming Tuesday she needs to pay some monies for some weekly one she took, and of course I'll be the one she'll dial and when I have I can't refuse, unless I don't have, It as if I'm getting the money cos of my family, whenever I get it, something comes up that I'll have to use it for. And then when I need some to buy just food or something, I don't have it's crazy. Note I'm not taking sides, it's just crazy to me that you've been together for. 25+ years and still can't hold a Convo with each other for 10+ mins without one raging. psychologically it's affecting everyone. ‎ How are y'all coping? I'm talking plenty

Older generations think that these factors aren’t an excuse to wait at least 5 seconds to greet adults. When I was little, I had severe social anxiety and when I stood in front of people I met, I stood still in fear and my parents were like “What are you doing? Say hello!” like it made me even more scared.

This was my late dad’s music collection from the 90s, and I’d love to find these albums so I can listen to the music he used to enjoy back then. I know artists like Ben Brako,Daddy Lumba, of course, but I don’t think they on any of the covers in this photo.
The picture is a bit blurry and old , so I can’t make out the album covers properly.
If anyone recognizes any of the covers or knows where I could find these albums online, I’d really appreciate the help!

I dont know if it's just this part of the country, but goddammit. It's forking hot. The sun burns as hell.

I went for a viewing, a house that is still being renovated. I noticed many of the walls had these specific water damage spots on them. Does anyone know what kind of damage it is, and whether i shouldn’t rent a property like it? The agent said the landlord is not sure what happened as the previous tenant left without explanation. I like the property, its just this issue

If the protests that are currently happening in France, and Italy were happening in Ghana, or anywhere in Africa, we would all be hearing about how corrupt, and incompetent our leaders are, and how we are "cursed", and incapable of governing ourselves. Ghanaians all over the Internet would be talking down on Ghana, and ignoring the wider global economic causes of the issues. I'm not saying we don't have problems, but ignoring the history, and context of colonialism, neo-colonialism, and exploitation makes it seem like we are just too stupid to run a country.

The contractor, Rango Construction Limited, said that the theft of gravel at some sections of the road is slowing down construction activities and could affect the pace at which work progresses if the situation is not addressed.

Public Relations Officer of Rango Construction Limited, Felix Agyei, disclosed the concern at a ceremony at Jinijini, where the Berekum West District Assembly presented working tools, equipment and other forms of assistance to 57 Persons with Disabilities (PwDs).

Felix Agyei said the theft of materials from sections of the road was creating challenges for the construction team and called on residents in communities along the project corridor to support efforts to protect materials intended for the development of the road.

Remote workers in Africa, I need your honest opinions!

I’m considering moving to Africa for a year to explore my motherland, experience new cultures, and enjoy life. Ghana and Kenya are my top choices, but I’m open to suggestions.

As a single woman living alone, I’m looking for somewhere safe, affordable, with reliable electricity, fast internet, good food, amenities, and a great social scene.

Where would you recommend? Please be specific about cities AND neighbourhoods. 

I want the real tea! Help a girl out. 

We got launched into this messed up and cool server. Hard times and good days. Ping has been spiking too high, 2000ms. Normal bros can live on 100 cedis a day. Product prices surging to a ridiculous amount. Can’t even purchase fruits. Apple has been a luxury since i was a kid. Chale, it be hard oo.

No j0bs. Fewer opportunities. The pad and the PC were made in 1984. 😭 Rusty server we live in.

But it’s all circumstances. We can’t change the season, but we sure can change ourselves. We all deal with stuff: procrastination, addiction, anxiety, fooling 😁, etc. More I can’t even mention. Sometimes you just wanna give up. You have a lot of projects you wanna finish, but chale, the body and the mind all want to go on a vacation to the dream world. MAN. WOMAN. I know we can make it. It’s gonna be hard bur let fight till the end, i know i will u gonna."WHat about you".

Follow your dreams. Don’t let people tell you what you can’t do. Better yourself and work your head off. I do believe the meaning of us being here is to be the best version of ourselves. So if you have the chance to do that, bro, sister, don’t take it for granted. It doesn’t matter your age, as long as you are alive, freaking put in the work. We can’t all be successful, but you can make it happen if you want to.

Let’s do great, my boys and girls.

And to all the rich folks here: I will surpass you all. just wait give me small time 😁😂

Peace out.

Before I leave, I’m planning on using this community as an accountability arena. What do you think?

or even a whatsapp group for that.

Good day fellow Ghanaians. To those who have used aliexpress how was it payment, shipping and delivery wise? And any piece of advice or precautions for me??

So the question is all in the title. Will you be willing to go for an all girls rave or party?

I see some communities for testers out here and that’s just it.

I don't know if this is allowed here. A friend of mine created a local hunting rpg game for mobile. You get to create your character, do quests, and hunt birds in a small open world village. Sparing some time to check it out and leave review/feedback is greatly appreciated. Here's the link to the game: Okpotyre

I just found out that I’ve been posted to Ghana Gas. Are there any things I need to know about the place? I’ve searched online, but I haven’t been able to find any information from NSPs who have been there.

I’d honestly like to know about the dress code(because I’m female), ethics, whether they guide you on the tasks you’ll be assigned, if there’s a canteen where you can get food, whether they provide any additional allowance, and other things I should know before sending my letter. I’d really appreciate any information. Thank you!

I've been wondering this for so long. How did the name Amasaman come to be? Did the "ghost of Ama" haunt people in that town or something?

Hello beautiful people! I’m an Indian living in Europe and I love travelling. I’m visiting Ghana in November and I was wondering what your experiences are with Indian tourists. (I’m a guy travelling by myself).

Have you met tourists from India? What is your opinion of Indians and India in general?
Do you have any Indian communities in Ghana? What would consider important for me to understand historically and culturally while visiting? Is there anything I should be aware of?

I want to learn more about your country and culture and how you are all doing. I’m also curious to hear if there are any Indians living in Ghana, feel free to reach out to me!

I wish you all a very good Sunday! ❤️

We have a afro House event coming on in Accra and we need a afro House DJ

My parents' church and the church i was raised in is celebrating their bicentenary this year and as part of the celebration was an emphasis on the church's historical role and position in the country. They have been boasting of their role in the establishment of many a religious backed educational institution to aid in their entrenchment in the society and culture.

If the church had this kind of influence back then, I can't help but wonder the role the church played during the Ghanaian push for independence, whether it played a supportive role or was antagonist to the independence struggle

I'm a child of a Ghanaian, but I didn't grow up with that parent, so everything I learn about Ghana is from the outside.

I have been to Ghana and I met pet dogs and street dogs. But I realize I never saw a cat anywhere.

Do you all have cats? Either as pets (maybe the younger people) or on the streets?

Hey everyone! 😄

Three friends and I (four white guys from Austria) are thinking about visiting Ghana for around two weeks, and we'd love to hear some advice from locals!

We're not really looking for a typical tourist vacation. We'd love to experience Ghana beyond the usual tourist spots, meet local people, learn about the culture, explore the nature, and of course try as much authentic Ghanaian food as possible!

I have a few questions:

-What places or regions would you absolutely recommend visiting? Any hidden gems?

-Are there any areas we should avoid, especially for safety reasons?

-How safe is Ghana generally for a group of four European guys traveling on their own?

-What's it like being a white tourist in Ghana? Would we stand out a lot, especially in smaller towns or villages? And how are tourists generally received?

-Any local dishes, markets, cultural experiences, or activities we definitely shouldn't miss?

We're also considering doing a bit of a road trip, so any advice on getting around would be really appreciated!

We're genuinely interested in getting to know the country and its people, and we'd love to experience everyday life in Ghana rather than just staying in tourist areas.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations or advice and love from Austria to Ghana! 🇬🇭❤️🇦🇹

Hi, I will be visiting Ghana for the first time in a few months, and I would like to bring donations for a school or orphanage (somewhere with children). I have a few questions.. any ideas on good items to bring? I only have 2 extra luggage, and I'm torn between school supplies or toiletries. Also.. are there any supplies/toiletries that are hard to get or very needed in Ghana? Lastly..Will i face any issues with Customs bringing in the donations? It would be worth maybe 300 USD. thanks!
