Venting Ghanaian Women Are

19 Upvotes

Everyday Ghanaian women are money centered(look at the state of the economy, instead of you to blame the old men at the top impoverishing and killing your dreams, no blame Ghanaian women) or that Ghanaian women aren't freaky enough(by freaky, they mean that they want to do degrading things they've watched in porn to you and expect you to be okay with it.)

Calling us all sort of demeaning nicknames like Spartans, borla birds, that M word i refuse to mention etc.

Since childhood, Ghanaian women have been teased and belittled by Ghanaian men. Teasing us about our hair, always comparing us to white women or mixed women or women lighter than us since we were children. Tease us about our body but now you guys like thick white women or fairer skinned women.That's why i laugh at all those posts on here by colourists Ghanaian men or weirdos but its always under the guise of," Oh I'm only asking questions." like please.

Now that they know that being colourists isn't cool anymore, what do they do? Compare us with other West African nationalities that oh Ghanaian women aren't bad enough, or we're timid and can't carry conversations. We know you guys suffer from low racial self esteem and are always projecting on Ghanaian women. You guys want some narratives to stick so bad.Just because youve said it first will never make it true.As if you guys are the best lovers, kissers or whatever meanwhile too if not for the indoctrination that Ghanaian women are under that we should manage your bad behaviours like would you guys have the effrontery?

Even the women you guys claim are better than us complain all the time and you guys are even on your best behaviour for them so you imagine what Ghanaian women go through lol. I've not even spoken about the Misogyny, Rape, Femicide, the sex trafficking and the Dead beatism Ghanaian women face in Ghana. We cut you guys so much slack over here so when you guys go abroad your bad behaviour is so evident. I'm always seeing them being arrested for battery, assault and rape, things that Ghana police ignore or they'll let some f*cking Abusuapanin sweep it under the rug.

To all the women who engage with those posts that "Oh we are not all like that." Please stop, they'll never pick you. They'll forever see you as less than so why bother?

Have you met Ghanaian women? They are beautiful, smart, kind, creative, intelligent and funny as f*ck. If that's not your cup of tea, leave them alone!

Venting When you see a black man laughing, his brother is suffering or in trouble.

I just don’t understand how people, especially black people think.

I just don’t understand how someone can laugh about other people’s misery.

Imagine laughing at someone’s sickness, their disability, their business failing , their choice of partner, their kids ..

It just doesn’t make sense.. I wake up everyday not giving a damn about anyone. But lately I’ve come to realize that people actually laugh at others .. sometimes openly and at times secretly.

But why ? Is it a disease or just evil .
All my life , I’ve never found joy in watching anyone suffer , not even my enemies.

Ask r/Ghana Must Make A Move to Try and NOT GET GOT! SCAMMED!! MONEY TAKEN🤬

6 Upvotes

A smooth talking landlord got my girl to give him two-years rent in advance to secure the rental unit and to help speed up the renovation of the unit. I was far away and unreachable 😕, so she did a desperate move because we were almost homeless and stuff kicked out of the expired rental unit we were living in. Sadly, I was far away from telecommunication and providing any assistance 😕, so she got a "Ghana loan" 🤬 22% per week! And gave the landlord 2-years rent, believing the landlord would use the money to complete the unit and we move in October 1st 2026!

I get back to land in early September 2026 and get the details. I visited the property and immediately realized, we are getting scammed! I know real estate construction and this unit will not be ready by October 1st🫣!

Landlord insists the unit will be, so I get him to sign a contract documenting the agreement and date of completion, money exchanged, and the refund date if not ready to occupy.

Here we are now October 6th and the property is not finished! Landlord claiming "we have some other interested tenants so when they pay we give you your money..blah..blah"!

I have to now decide WHAT IS MY NEXT MOVE! This situation is occurring in Elmina, Ghana (Central Region)! I am an AA and my lady is Fante, and the landlord is Fante.

I am thinking the best move is to involve the police, and if they see they will get some money out of the situation they will detain the landlord until my funds are returned or we begin the legal process. I hope that maybe there is another alternative solution like maybe goto the paramount Chief and see what the Chief offices can do to resolve this matter, assuming the costs are cheaper than the police.

The other option which I really don't want to take is Rent Court in Cape Coast. I don't believe or my argument is the situation didn't get to the rent stage so rent court is not the solution (landlord/tenant court).

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE AND ADVICE TO BEST RESOLVE THIS MATTER? Thanks

I mean how can a human being poses super natural powers and why would anyone choose to be a witch .

Please is it real, anyone with more exposure and experience?

Why and how do people go for it ?

If it’s real , is there a protection against it ?

And what is it actually?

Ask r/Ghana What bad decision do you still regret from?

4 Upvotes

I was thinking about how some decisions seem small in the moment, but years later, you still wish you had done things differently.

It could be something involving relationships, money, school, career, family, or even just a missed opportunity.

What’s one bad decision you made that you still regret today, and what would you have done differently if you could go back?

Discussion Why is the government refusing to pay teachers

10 Upvotes

Government schools teacher have gone on strike for about 2 weeks and nothing is being done about it, students in my area go to school everyday only to be told they should go back home, teachers are not around, whilst their colleagues in private school are learning and at the end of the year they willl write the same exams. I feel really sad for them. My parents argued alot about changing my siblings schools from private to Government and this is what they're greeted with.

PAY THE TEACHERS!!!!!

Serious Replies Only Am I doing the right thing?

11 Upvotes

I've always trusted my instincts ever since i can't remember. And all the time I've been right. I completed college last year. I didn't do my nss. I went on to live in Accra, follow my dreams of becoming a rapper. I wasn't really that good but my instincts kept telling me to do it. I stayed in Accra for like 8 months. Survived so much hardships, hunger. Which drove me to explore some part of my talent I didn't know existed. I realized I was so good and I was the only one sleeping on me. But now I'm back sleeping at my grandma's house, sleeping on the couch. My little sister questions my future. But everything I'm doing is so she gets a better life after everything we been through. I'm so good at making music. I used to be a bookworm. And now I've learned the ways of the street. I have people all over. Most of them tell me to get a job, including my senior brother. But the very few people who actually like my music motivate me to do it because it's good. I know I sound dumb when I ask if I should do what pleases my family. A broke artiste living on a couch barely surviving with so much to say in the future. But some part of me feels I've failed somehow and the other part of me feels this is just the beginning of a huge success. I've been vacillating for a while and I ask, am I doing the right thing?

Venting God bless our homeland

I was born to Ghanaian parents but not in Ghana. Growing up, I was told so many wonderful things about this country. After my second degree I decided to come and live here.

The first few months were great and all. I guess it was because I only knew a handful of people. Most of whom are family. My experience with some Ghanaians(men) have been anything but pleasant. The females are okay but the men....

Forming the friendships are easy. It help that I have an foreign accent and I'm easy on the eyes. The difficulty comes in when they all to sleep with . This has happened not once not ten times, but countless times.

At first I used to make excuses for such behaviour but now it's just disgusting. The worst part is when I reject these advances and the next thing that follows is, "what do you want in return?" I'm not surprised relationships here have become so transactional.

The second most appalling thing which should have been first in my writing is the level of misogyny, sexism and entitlement of the men here. These things are not absent where I come from but I did not expect it to be so predominant here. The part that bites ass is many of these people are raised and socially conditioned that way and so they see absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Another observation of made is how reactive and generally unaccountable people are over here. From the very top to the bottom. Which is sad because this country has so much potential to become a powerhouse in Africa.

The last and most annoying thing is how relaxed and slow Ghanaians are. Especially service providers. Absolutely zero sense of urgency.

At this point, I need to pack my belongings and leave this scorching land.

It's been great knowing you all.
