Ghana is like that person who dresses up nicely, talks calm and cool at an event but when they go home, their house is a mess, they treat their roommates like garbage and they're actually in debt because they're trying to keep up with the Joneses

You know what's funny? I posted this story last weekend. Published it and retweeted it myself.
No one picked it up.
Bella Naija posts the same story and now y'all want to complain that local "GH" bloggers don't try.
This is why I'm frustrated....

She has an interesting history. Dad was Ghanaian. She quit track and field because she was getting bullied in school. Joined the wrestling team. Almost quit when her dad died in a car accident on the way to watch one of her matches.

This is an intriguing story. First of, it’s interesting how “quiet” this rollout of the Digital Transport Fee was. DVLA didn’t make any announcements. Neither did ride sharing services until Uber sent out an email announcement to customers.

All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.

5 years. We’ve never won an award. No best blogger, no best tech website, no best site.
But we still produce the best tech content in Ghana. Always up to date, on multiple channels.
I give props to the tech community that recognize the work we do and put us in the room.

I've been making an argument that the Oxford street area in Osu should be a car free zone. People look at me like I'm crazy. But it's a good idea especially for tourists and street vendors
In case you missed it: Kigali constantly challenging other African cities. The “car free zone” has been a topic of conversation for the last few years. It’s now starting to take shape.

The Ghanaian delegation would like to express our concerns with the actions happening in the United States as well. After going through our own peaceful elections, we hope the US can also go through the same peaceful transition
The people of Malawi wish to express their concern with the increasingly volatile situation in the United States. We strongly condemn any acts of post election violence and we call upon the US authorities to put in place all measures to ensure democratic process prevails.

I was wondering why an article I wrote an RLG a coupe of years ago suddenly spiked in traffic. Found the reason 😅
I just need more resources and a team to dig up more information on more stories like this
So no Ghanaian business journalist or commentator will write a book or longform article on the RLG story? How they became the toast of corporate Ghana & why they're so quiet these days? What, I should do it? But I never covered them before? Where are those who did?
