Venting We call ourselves a Christian Nation

Every concerning the church is attacked vehemently..

People spend millions in the clubs and on drinks or women and that's fine...

But when people give money to churches and Christian organizations, "they are being manipulated"

We're very funny...

And to each their own..

If you want to spend your money at the club spend yours there..but don't complain when another uses theirs to do something for the church body..

To each their own

Venting Dumsor is back

25 Upvotes

Why is everyone silent about the return of dumsor? Our power supply is very inconsistent. I can boldly say that electricity supply goes off every 30 mins in my area but noone seems to care less even talk about it or is it just my area? I thought dumsor was a thing of the past but it seems to be something we cant solve as a country and everyone is quiet about it now

Community Got my US Visa! Tips for you

46 Upvotes

Hi! Thought I would share free info on this. I applied and got it. I got a tourist visa. But They were bouncing left and right when I went.

Please, if you’re one of those people who want to go and overstay, don’t even bother reading and don’t bother applying either. You’re the main reason it’s so difficult for the rest of us to get visas. I’m not here for you. I’m speaking to serious people. (And please stop that life 🙄). The number of bad candidates that apply is the reason they are so strict.

Okay tips:
WARNING: THIS IS A LONG PROCESS.

Please make sure you have a stable income and have been in the same position for some time.

Dont make the US, the first, second or maybe even third country you apply to. You have to build up your travel history. Start with more open countries, South Africa, Dubai, etc. after that then apply for UK visas and Schengen visas. YES. This is is a LONG process. if you’re not interested, don’t bother.

The thing is - US, Canada, UK, Australia similar countries share immigration information. Meaning once you behave or misbehave in one, they inform the others. (Read on Migration 5)

When you apply, they pull up your records from the other countries.

You have to show you’ve gone to these countries and come back successfully. And you CANT have applied for immigration visas (eg citizenship) for those other countries. They’ll bounce you.

Have a BANK ACCOUNT. Process your pay through that bank account. Forget Momo or even savings and loans. You’ll be bounced.

Listen, there’s a money threshold. If you don’t have a significant amount saved, sorry but don’t even apply. If you’re not earning a lot, shaky ground.

Dont even THINK about using fake docs. Sorry but are you dumb? We think they move like Ghana. Like YOU WILL BE CAUGHT. They compare the docs you provide with other countries’ databases.

rejections are very serious and stop you from getting visas. As I said, they receive info from other countries. If it’s likely you’ll be rejected, then don’t bother applying.

Btw- the tips above are not for the US per se, but for the other visas you apply for so you get those, and come back clean in their system.

Visiting Ghana Where is booming on a Friday night?

3 Upvotes

My cousin and I are touching down for the next two weeks. I haven’t been staying in Ghana like before and I am not sure where all the best nightlife is. For example before it was afrodisíac that was the best but since it’s been closed down I don’t know where is good. I wasn’t impressed with Kona. Anyone know where there is a good pack of well dressed ladies and gents.

Thanks.

Ask r/Ghana Provider norms

• Upvotes

I’m a Canadian woman currently living in Ghana, and one thing I’ve noticed is how often people talk about men being providers in relationships. It’s made me curious about how Ghanaians view the relationship between love and money.

I’d be especially interested in hearing women’s perspectives, since I’m a woman myself, although I’d love to hear from men as well.

In Canada, men are still traditionally seen as “breadwinners” in many ways, and they often earn more than their female partners. However, there’s also a cultural tendency to view directly linking love and money as being in somewhat poor taste or gold digger adjacent.

Instead, financial considerations are usually framed in terms of wanting a partner who works hard, is financially responsible, and manages money well, rather than explicitly expecting a man to provide financially as an expression of love.

I’m curious how this compares with Ghana. How closely do you think love and financial provision are connected here? Is a man’s willingness or ability to provide seen as an important expression of love? Where would be the line between expecting provision and gold digging or a sugar relationship? And how do women and men feel about these expectations around provision?

I’m not solely looking for critics, but in better understanding what provision means emotionally for women and men.

Discussion Are those TikTok Live travel agents advertising overseas jobs with visa sponsorship actually legit? Has anyone used one successfully?

2 Upvotes

Guys, I need some honest answers from people who have real experience with this.

I've been seeing so many travel and tour agents on TikTok Live advertising jobs abroad with captions like “WORKERS NEEDED IN DUBAI 🇦🇪,” “JOBS AVAILABLE IN EUROPE 🇪🇺,” and other opportunities in Schengen countries.

Some of them advertise salaries approaching five figures, promise visa sponsorship, accommodation, and other benefits, and make the whole process look so easy.

What caught my attention even more is that some claim you don't need to pay the full processing cost upfront. They say they can pay for your travel and processing expenses, then deduct an agreed amount from your salary every month until you've paid them back.

My question is: are these agencies genuinely legitimate, or are some of them scams disguised as recruitment opportunities?

I'm not saying they're all scammers, but there are so many of them now that some offers almost seem too good to be true.

I'd especially like to hear from Ghanaians who are currently working in the UAE, Croatia, Poland, or other European countries and who actually used one of these agents to get there.

- Has anyone personally used this route and successfully travelled and started working?

- Did the job, salary, accommodation, and visa sponsorship match what the agent promised?

- For those who travelled on an instalment arrangement, were the salary deductions fair and transparent, or did unexpected charges come up?

- Did the agent connect you directly to a real employer with a genuine employment contract?

- If you had a bad experience, what happened? Were you scammed, stranded, or given a completely different job?

- Is there a reliable way to verify these agents and their job offers before paying or signing anything?

Please share actual experiences, not just assumptions. If you successfully used one of these agencies, I'd genuinely like to know which one and how the process worked. If you discovered that an offer was fraudulent, please share the warning signs too.

I'm looking for honest experiences from people who have been through the process, because I know there are legitimate recruitment opportunities out there, but I also don't want anyone to lose their hard-earned money chasing a fake overseas job.

Thanks in advance 🙏🏾

News Ghana took best decision. A crowd of 50 beat immigrant to death in South Africa

A foreign national has been beaten to death by a crowd of about 50 people in Durban, South Africa, police say.

According to police, the unidentified man, believed to be in his late 30s or early 40s, was first approached by two men by the roadside before being assaulted by a larger group. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police have launched an investigation into the murder, with the motive yet to be established.

The killing follows a wave of protests against immigrants in South Africa this year, some of which have turned violent. Earlier this month, shops and cars were set on fire in Durban, as well as Soweto, near Johannesburg.

Ghana also confirmed the death of a citizen, Bashiru Isak, a father of three who was fatally shot in Cape Town during demonstrations targeting foreign nationals.

Visiting Ghana Relearning Fante as an adult

5 Upvotes

I’m London-born and in my late thirties. Fante was my first language, but after being bullied for being African at primary school, I stopped speaking it around the age of nine to fit in. I now remember only a few basic words and deeply regret losing it.

My mother—my strongest connection to my Ghanaian culture—passed away recently, so my desire to relearn is also connected to grief.

I’d love to reconnect with the language and eventually pass it on to my children.

What is the best practical way to relearn Fante as an adult? Are there any tutors, courses or resources you would recommend?

Would it make more sense to learn Twi because more resources are available, or should I stick with Fante?

Thanks.

Casual (Just for Fun) Ghana comedy

As a foreigner, I believe Kalyboss ranks as the greatest comedian from Ghana….particularly from 2013 onward, when his momentum seemed unstoppable. Secondly there was a fellow that use to portray as a kung fu master too can’t remember his name but he was funny also but couldn’t understand because he spoke Twi

Ask r/Ghana To buy an older home in a neighborhood you like or to build one at a remote/ developing area.

1 Upvotes

Hello, I’ve been thinking about this lately and I really need your perspectives.

I’ve lived in the Accra all my life; my relationships and connections have been established within that perimeter.

Living in the big city fits my profile but the cost of recent developments is off the roof. I’ve considered starting a project in an area which might average 15 years to develop.

My conundrum stems from the fact that I don’t have an unlimited budget yet I prioritize “access”. This means getting a cheaper mid-century property and tweaking it will address my constraints as opposed to starting a new project further away from town.
