A TALE OF GHANAIAN AND NIGERIAN BUSINESSES.
A thread
Back in 2013, when I lived at Accra Newtown, there were two women who sold fruits in my neighborhood. One a Ghanaian and the other a Nigerian married to a Ghanaian man. The Nigerian woman had a larger store….
So we traced 1 of our missing fones 2 mallam Gbawe. We involved police & a bag + box of fones was discovered in d room of a phone seller. He has refused 2 show up but all d phones have bn moved 2 Gbawe LAFA police station. Come there tomorrow if u lost a fone at

I do not think there’ll ever be a read greater than this Elektra restaurant scene from Pose. She took that Karen to the cleaners and left her there to tumble dry.
I’ve had this magazine 4 over 15 years. It was published in October 2001.
These allegations r not new. There is nothing investigative abt this except that everything in d documentary is true.
Won’t even bother watching coz there’s nothing in it I haven’t read in this magazine
Man of God? Or predatory cult leader?

Government is spending $325M to provide free tablets to schools.
Each tablet costs $250 and the plan is to buy 1.3M tablets supplied by KA Technologies.
Hhmm this life. Imagine lying on your sick bed and watching your family tussle over your properties.
Anyways, choices and consequences.
This is the case of Ghanaian millionaire Asuma Banda.

Like she said, request for his number. You’re his type of woman. She clearly said she’s being intentional abt her kind of man n she wants a romantic person. The guy is not it. Wdym she should plan the date with him. If u can’t make an effort for a woman u like then go.
Guys pls donate if you can. After having a brush with the hospital system in Ghana for the first time yesterday, I’m left wondering how people survive in this country. I was hit with a bill of GHs12k just to drain an abscess. Boil k3k3 oh. So pls donate if u can.

The crazy aspect of this take is that those of us who live in the center (Cantonments/Labone/Osu) of this nightlife don’t find it fascinating. It’s always those coming from Adenta, Agbogba, Kasoa and East Legon hills.
But what’s my business? Lol
THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER PUSH SOMEONE INTO THE WATER IF THEY SAY THEY CAN’T SWIM.

@ByLazaruss
Can people just be allowed to date or marry who they feel comfortable with? Some just want peace of mind and a good partner. There is no strength in putting up with badly behaved women simply coz they are privy to ur culture. It is the culture men are running away from

The problem with many lagosians is they live in a bubble. Most have never gone beyond Oré.
Even Namibia is more beautiful that Lagos, I don’t wanna mention Angola, Kenya, Morocco etc.
They just sit in Nigeria and claim Giant of Africa with bad roads and no electricity.
The concept of moderate prices and larger customer base is alien to us. We want to invest and recoup immediately. Then turn around to blame govt. for how expensive things are on the market. Then wonder why Nigerian traders are doing better than us in our own country. Susu birirbi
I caught up with the AD agency responsible for the NFL’s Ad on why Ghana was selected for the commercial.
Here’s a response from the Ad agency’s head, Glenn Cole.
I just finished having a conversation with a friend. He thinks Ishaya got away with too much jst coz he’s poor.
IMO Ishaya is d biggest victim here. His own family failed him. Society only added on. His father is actually useless. D mom, overridden by poverty.
I’m disappointed seeing this tweet Joe. I personally reached out to u on WhatsApp to interview you on my show on Asaase Radio. Even before FTY officially launched. Till date you haven’t responded to that message. Leave Ghana media alone.

@amysarab
Quick question; did he apply for the job? If yes, did he go through interview(s)? If yes, what time does he then need to consider the offer? They have a business to run.
Btw, companies are now hiring GenZ HR to deal with GenZ problems.
Last year November made it exactly 1 year since I broke off my engagement and called off the wedding 1 week to our planned wedding date.
This video sums up every reason why I made that decision.
I’m a strong advocate & practitioner of all 5 things they mentioned. She was not.
Fruits but also couldn’t throw them away so she kept them and insisted on selling at the original price even though common sense should inform her to reduce the price to clear. Unfortunately that is the mentality of many Ghanaian traders and businesses in Ghana.
Became clearer with more Ghanaian women traders and even men i transacted business with. They’ll insult u for attempting to bargain or plain get angry and refuse to sell. One thing I noticed with the Nigerian fruit seller was, her fruits sold faster since more people..

Dipo I live in Ghana and our cost of living crisis is worse than that of the UK. The things u enjoy as basic in the UK is what Nigerians aspire for as ‘luxury’. U sure cannot compare ASUU’s 12month strike to a rare strike in the UK which will not go beyond a week can you?

That it is not your reality doesn’t mean it isn’t other people’s. My mom raised us to;
- never mention ur/her actual travel date to extended relatives
- if she travelled & sum1 came calling to say she went out briefly
- don’t mention home address recklessly.
E get why
@mixxlion
@torphor
Not sure why you had to mention his ethnicity but Africa has some of the best wineries and vineyards in the world. His question may have been because the background was probably too perfect he thought it was a CGI one.
And her fruits always appeared to be fresher. I always bought from the Nigerian woman because aside from having fresher fruits, she was very welcoming, (if you know me you’ll understand that when I go to the market I only approach stores with smiling faces) so automatically…
Men have been asking what women bring to the table the last decade.
Now women are celebrating being childless and free and all of a sudden men are in their feelings writing thesis up and down.
We’re getting somewhere 🤣🤣🤣
Bought from her, this means that while the Ghanaian woman was waiting to sell a batch at her set price, the Nigerian woman had sold 3 or more batches and gone for another, reason her fruits were always fresh. The Ghanaian woman on the other hand would end up with rotten….
I have said it and will say it again. I will visit all 193 countries in the world before I patronize any resort in Ghana with my own money. Overpriced substandard services and facilities with absolutely no fun experiences.
Three/four star resorts and Airbnbs in Ghana trying to charge for one night what I paid for six nights in Spain. You people are all mad in this country
I was drawn to her store. She’ll let me select the bunches of bananas I wanted and other fruits and when I finished she added some extras that made me so satisfied with what I was paying for. She always had a way of engaging me whenever I passed by and sometimes I ended up buying
The only people that complain about how a person lives their life are those who wish they were living that life.
You’re living their dreams, how dare you? Of course they’ll revolt.
I share a lot of my life experiences on my twitter page. Things like the state of a country i go on vacation, the quality of food i eat at a restaurant, Fake drinks at a club, family, friendship, growth etc because i think people can learn a thing or 2.

Visiting this Ghanaian fruit seller’s store. She had this frown that should have sent me away but cravings y3 kwasia paaa. In a very unwelcoming voice she asked “wo p3 d3n?”. I said I wanted bananas, she asked how much and I said 4cedis nkate3 1cedi. Brothers and sisters..
I just took my 5 fingers of bananas and left. Now these bananas were not even fresh compared to the ones I buy from the other woman. I could only eat 4 as one was almost rotten. I learned a lesson the hard way. I thought it was just a peculiar case. But soon the pattern…
I almost cried 🥹, this woman gave me 5fingers of banana as against the 8 + ntosuo I used to get from my Nigerian Mummy as I called her. Herhh. I said eiii.. there nooorr this woman bore. Started complaining how things were expensive in the market bla bla bla.
Her fruits even if I initially did not plan to. One day I was craving bananas and groundnuts (you know how hard that combo slaps). Took a stroll to madam’s stand and she was not there (Awurade mini disappointment sane?)
I decided to walk further and that was my first time..

@tedgeoghegan
Did this lighting cause a national blackout?
Did it increase electricity tariffs paid by low income families?
Did it reduce the quality of power accessed by those families?
If all ur answers are NO then rest.
Gentle reminder that while your religion tells you there’s a heaven somewhere in the sky, some people are already enjoying heaven right here on earth.
Some of u are already going thru hell on earth and will still not make it to heaven 😂.
If someone says they can’t swim, in the name of God, please, never push them into d water. Not only is it attempted murder, if they die, you will be charged with murder or if you’re lucky, manslaughter.
Aside from that tho, it was really refreshing swimming in the Volta river.

This looks very staged to me bcos an assassination in such a position would have been very successful.
I think this is a ploy by Trump’s campaign to make people accuse Biden of attempted assassination. If it was a graze then bullet should hit someone/thing behind him. We wait.
It’s culture deep. The Ghanaian man’s lack of business sense. In the heat of the inflation crisis, I started paying my barber 20 instead of 15gh. Months later, he finally adjusted his price but I didn’t know. That day I had only 100s so I gave him the coins in my car which..

Apart frm cheap university education in Nigeria what other positives r there currently in NG? Poor quality of education, poor quality of life, poor electricity supply, 1 of d highest level of insecurity on d continent, bad roads, highly corrupt system, ailing healthcare system
Amounted to 15gh. He then informed me he’d adjusted the price. A Naija man would have taken the 15 just for that day. But This dude would rather take the 100 and give me change. I’ve stopped tipping him ever since. Recently found an even better barber.
This is proof that no matter how good a govt’s policy is, there’ll always be those who will be negatively affected. In my opinion the implementation of the new directive shouldn’t have been immediate.

No you’re getting it wrong.
Frnd proposes to abuser. I advise her against it she refuses. I tell her I won’t be a part of the wedding. She says I’m jealous & cuts me off. How am I the villain then. She’s an adult with a brain not a baby fgs. Abuser eventually dumps her. 🤷🏽♂️

We’ve not even started talking about Nigerian students who had to forfeit their education in other countries because they could no longer pay school fees. Some are still experiencing same.
We have witnessed D evolution of Afrobeat and the revolution it has brought to African music.

I’ve heard pple asking why Harmattan is returning in February due to the hazy conditions. Up till now no Ghanaian Government agency finds it necessary to update the public. The pic below explains what we’ve been experiencing. A Sahara dust storm not harmattan.

And yet somehow, instead of facing the Boers who control the wealth and are responsible for your poverty, you accept them and rather turn your aggression towards immigrants? You’re not ready.

This is where all the phones that were retrieved from Gbawe are now. I have done my best for you guys. In case you recover your phone, you’re welcome.
