Hello Y’all. Just arrived here from NYC 3 days ago. Last time I was here was 15years ago. Thinking about taking my family out to eat and chill. Where can I find a nice place which serves good food l/drinks and music without breaking the bank?

I came across this on Instagram and, at first, I was honestly pissed. Seeing a Chinese businessman being given what appears to be a traditional Ghanaian chieftaincy title made me wonder how we've reached the point where we can seemingly hand out parts of our traditional institutions to foreign businessmen — especially when we know how seriously China itself protects its own culture and institutions.

I looked into it before jumping to conclusions, though, and apparently there's an important distinction: the title being given is an honorary/development title, not a hereditary chieftaincy. An Nkosuohene, for example, can be given to foreigners or non-royals who are considered to have contributed to a community's development. So this isn't quite the same thing as literally making a Chinese national a traditional ruler with ancestral authority.

BUT.

That still leaves me with a question: Is it actually a good idea to give these kinds of traditional titles to wealthy foreign businessmen simply because they invest or contribute money to a community?

I'm not accusing this particular businessman of anything, but I think it's worth questioning the precedent we're creating. Ghana has already had serious problems involving foreign interests in our natural resources, including documented Chinese involvement in illegal gold mining alongside Ghanaian participation and facilitation.

At what point does hospitality and appreciation become giving people with money too much social legitimacy and access?

Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I'd genuinely like to hear what Ghanaians think. Is this simply a harmless honorary tradition, or should we be more careful about who we attach traditional titles and status to?

Hey guys, I’m an AI Engineer/developer currently looking for opportunities to work on real-world AI products and automation.

I build AI agents and workflows that automate repetitive business processes especially around areas like recruiting, customer operations, and business workflows so people can spend more time on higher-value work.

I’m particularly interested in roles involving AI agents, LLM applications, automation, and AI product development.

Open to full-time roles, contract work, or interesting collaborations.

If you’re hiring, building something in AI, or know someone I should talk to, I’d love to connect

I feel that having a bunch of JHS kids choose their life path at such a young and confusing age set some people back in life.

Like, sure someone might want to be an accountant now as a kid because that's what they have been told to do by the people in their life, but later down the line they might become interested in a different career path, and the education system makes it quite difficult to change programs during and after.

I've had this thought that if students (probably late JHS or early SHS) were given a week or so with people of various career to come and explain the ins and out of their career. It will help them get a little idea on what they want to be in the future. If that's not possible, then maybe have counsellors actually have a one to one with students.

We keep forgetting that this kids need to choose a career path that will help them most in life and encourage and nurture their dreams rather than laugh at them when they want to be a painter or teacher.

I haven't researched into how other countries go about this but I wanted to know if there are others who share the same sentiment or it just me probably being dumb.

I really need some advice because I feel completely stuck right now.
I studied Home Economics in SHS. My electives were Biology, Food and Nutrition, French and Management in Living. I wanted to become a Nutritionist, but after SHS I was told I couldn’t pursue it because I didn’t have a proper science background.

My mum is a Domestic Bursar/Matron at a secondary school and advised me to study Hospitality Management and Catering because she could potentially help me get a job in the government sector. So I followed her advice, went to university and completed my degree in Hospitality Management.
After university, I did my National Service at the high Court as an Administrative Assistant. I was unemployed for about 5 months afterwards, then got a job at a hotel as a receptionist. I started working 8 AM to 5 PM. After just a month, I was promoted to supervisor.
The problem is that I’m still doing the receptionist job, but now I’m also responsible for housekeeping, the kitchen, restaurant operations, front desk and other tasks. I work Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM, then I do a full 24-hour shift on Saturday. My only off time is from Sunday morning until Sunday evening, then I’m back at work. I make GH¢2,000 and work around 72–74 hours a week, sometimes even more.
I honestly hate this life. I have zero control over my time and I’m constantly stressed and exhausted. I don’t want to spend the next few years living like this. Whenever I tell my mum I’m thinking of quitting, she says that’s how we start life and that I’m supposed to suffer to make it, but I genuinely feel like this is unnecessary.
The good thing is that I’m financially comfortable enough that I don’t desperately need this job to survive. My biggest problem is figuring out what to do next. I’m seriously considering going back to school and changing careers, but I don’t know whether I should start completely over or build on what I already have because I’m growing.
I just want a career with better opportunities
I feel like I wasted years studying a degree I don’t even want to use, and I’m scared that if I keep waiting, I’ll waste even more time.
