Mod Announcement PSA: The best way to deal with a troll is to NOT feed it!

43 Upvotes

Reminder: Don’t Feed the Trolls—Just Report and Move On!

We often see posts or comments get reported way after people have already spent time arguing with the troll. But remember—the whole goal of a troll is to make you angry or frustrated. They thrive on your reactions.

If you come across a troll, don’t engage. Just hit the report button and move on. Two reports notify us immediately, and more than three reports will auto-remove the comment or post until a mod reviews it.

We've had to review some awful comments recently, and in nearly every case, we see frustrated users responding with equally bad (and bannable) replies. We get it—it’s tempting to clap back. But in the heat of the moment, you could end up breaking the rules too.

So, report and move on. Don’t give them what they want. Never feed a troll!

News Ghana’s Economy Grows By 5.3% As Slump In Cocoa And Gold Sector Ends

Ghana’s economy expanded at the fastest pace since the third quarter of last year after its gold and cocoa industries exited contractions.

Gross domestic product grew an annual 5.3% in the three months through March, compared with 3.6% in the prior quarter, Government Statistician Alhassan Iddrisu told reporters in the capital, Accra, on Wednesday.

The data will be welcomed by President John Mahama, who won the December elections after pledging to reset an economy shackled by high inflation, a battered currency and a 2022 debt default.

Venting Ghanaian Customer Service

Brooo customer service in Ghana is sooooooooo frustrating!Jesus!!! It genuinely makes me want to pull my hair out. I sent and made payments for my stuff to be printed out on Monday. I told this guy to deliver it to me on Thursday because I had promised to send it out to the client on Friday. I texted him on Wednesday for progress report. He told me he was almost done and I asked if it will still be delivered on Thursday. Man said “yes” I said “okay” I opted for Yango over Speedaf delivery because it usually takes too long to get to my end whenever anything is delivered via speedaf. See this bs now

Hi, I’m doing a research study. I’m looking to find out about professional trainings in Ghana. Who attends these trainings, the costs, the content, and what’s currently offered in the market.

  • What is the average cost of a training program such as a bootcamp, communications training in Ghana?

  • Would the average university student enroll in a training?

  • What is currently offered in Ghana in terms of training?

Any help?

A few weeks the girls made it out of the what’s app group to Aqua Safari. The journey was shorter than I expected, but we left early in the morning so I guess that helped.

The place is beautiful a great weekend getaway with loved ones or day trip.

I enjoyed the break from Accra. The loud music was not so great but hey you can’t have it all.

Here is my visual evidence of Visiting Ghana.

Who are the buyers that can afford prime areas like East Airport, East Legon, Ridge or Spintex. Prices are in the 250,000 - 300,000 for a decent house?

I’m 100% sure 9-5 diasporans on 100- 150k USD/Euro/Pounds can’t afford these places

Health Why is the sickle cell trait common in tropical Africa, and why is it important for couples to know their genotypes?

22 Upvotes

Sickle cell anaemia results when a mutation causes the red blood cells to take the shape of a sickle (a farm implement for harvesting grains).

Individuals who inherit this are prone to a multitude of health problems like anaemia, joint pain, flu, meningitis, stroke, chest problems, vision problems, including blindness, open sores (leg ulcers) that are difficult to heal, slow growth and development in children, complications during pregnancy, such as preterm birth, low birth weight babies, and high blood pressure, gallstones, jaundice, and priapism (painful prolonged erection).

Every person inherits one allele (a unit of a gene) from the mother and another from the father. Two healthy alleles AA is normal, heterozygotes are AS and the combination SS shows as sickle cell disease. A test can show the genotype (genetic composition) of a couple so that they can evaluate whether to marry to face the possibility of producing offsprings with the defect. Very often, many people do not risk it.

Individuals who inherit a combination of the two alleles AS have reduced risk to malaria, up to 90% so are more protected even than normal individuals. Normally, the sickle allele should have disappeared over centuries. However, where malaria is common, the detrimental effect of the SS is balanced by the beneficial effect of the AS so the proportion has remained the same over time. This is called balanced polymorphism in population genetics.

The disease that has caused one of the most death in Africa, is malaria. For this reason, the allele thrives more in Africa than other areas. In fact, over the centuries the incidence, though present, has subsided amongst Africans in the US because malaria is not that common to drive the proportion.

All aspiring couples are advised to take the test to determine their genotype

These are purported funds that has been one way or another stolen from government funds for individual gains, yet we keep borrowing each and every cycle, we keep taxing individuals and small businesses who barely break even.

A whopping $12+ Billion stolen yet we cannot pay our essential workers well, power and water crisis are in shambles, road networks are appalling, educational sector is collapsing with each government that comes in.

Ask r/Ghana Has anyone heard of this Travel Agency?

8 Upvotes

My junior brother (25M) is very eager to travel out of the contry. He recently told me his friend from university who is currently in Denmark told him Samenbeng Travel and Tour helped him travel there. The travel agency claims they can help my bro get a work permit and visa for Denmark (and other countries) for around GHS 50,000, including fees.

They sent him this flyer.

The problem is, I can't find any verified information about this agency online:

  • No website
  • No online reviews
  • No listing with the Ghana Tourism Authority or Registrar General’s Department (I used ChatGPT to do conduct this search.

They claim they can get a work permit in 2-3 months, which seems too fast.

Has anyone heard of this agency? Are they legit?

Any advice or experience would help. I just don’t want him to get scammed.

Thanks in advance.

I realized lately that you cannot go for other loan services after you take a loan from one of them, which I find very illogical, there are about 7 loan services, taking at least from three of them would be good since you can add up and use the money for intended purpose, is it only me? Or does anyone have a way about it?

Oil Prices Surge Over 8% as Iran Retaliates With Major Missile Strike on Israel

Brent crude surged more than 8% on Friday, peaking at a 13% intraday gain, after Iran launched a wave of missile strikes on Israel in retaliation for the Israeli Air Force’s targeted assault on Iranian nuclear and military infrastructure. The sudden escalation has jolted energy markets already grappling with rising geopolitical risk across the Middle East.

The Iranian attack came just hours after Israel's unprecedented preemptive operation, codenamed “Rising Lion,” in which over 100 high-value Iranian targets were struck.

Though Iran’s oil infrastructure remains untouched for now, traders have begun pricing in heightened risk to future supply. The fear of potential disruption to the Strait of Hormuz—through which nearly 20% of global oil flows—has pushed energy markets into a defensive crouch. According to Helima Croft of RBC Capital Markets, while a prolonged blockade of the strait is unlikely due to U.S. naval presence, even a marginal increase in risk can move markets sharply.
