What is happening to the Education in Ghana? The government is trying her best to do reforms that looks promising but none of the goals are achieve. I got to know that, 40% of the kids the BECE for kids in grade 9 are automatically expected drop out of school since the secondary school are not enough to accommodate them. How can past and previous government allow this to happen. Something is serious wrong and Ghanaians world over must stand and make the Government account for this. Something must be done now, not later, something implementable not far fetch aspirations. Present Government say a wonderful system in place to feed the kids so enrolement is going really up ( the problems about the school feeding program is another topic on its own) but we cant applaud  our selves if we want 40% of these kids to drop out before they can learn an employable skills.The next government must definately try to inplace system that will get kids employable skills with VALUE in schools.Ghanaians lets demand this.The system must change now.

The problem of environmental destruction in Africa, is bigger than anyone thinks. I mean just take a deep breath and think about this for instance. Developed countries are still struggling to find constructive ways to dispose of garbage and are still finding it tough. Hell, if it was permissible they would even love to pay African countries to allow them to dump their refuse here for any fee they want. Lol
But seriously, the situation is a very dicey one, and they are taking strict measure to ensure the survival of their populace in the next century.
So what about us??
The reality is that, most sub-Saharan African countries aren’t so industrialized, so there not so much in the form of industrial waste. But what about disposing off consumer products. I remember watching an episode of Baobab, where the risks of CFC polluted Refrigerators were making way into the sub region. The case becomes even worsened with the shady practices at the ports and harbours. Anyone can be able to smuggle in about anything provided you have the means to “grease some hands”.
The worst problem of them all is plastic pollution. The situation seems to make no sense to me at all. Why wouldn’t they just ban the use of polythene in consumer products? “Ice Water” or “Mineral Water” or whatever they call it nowadays would ultimately sink the capital. Every where you look there are polythene bags sticking out of the ground. And we all know the amount of time it takes plastic to decompose.
Even in areas like East Legon, the situation isn’t any better. We have to wake up people and do something about this, If its not already too late.
So before you pull out that coin to call that vendor, think about what the seemingly benign purchase of mineral water would have for the generations to come.

Customer service and treatment is soo bad in certain areas of the Ghanaian economy and businesses that sometimes the individual and merchant can easily be confused.

The sector which really bothers me is the sector of Internet Service Provision; I have wandered from company to company searching for the ultimate solution; a low cost and moderate way to be online.
Most people in other areas would think this is something minor, looking at the presence of several tiGo, Mtn and Broadband4u adverts circulating around the media. Its soo ironic that these companies would invest such large amounts into advertising rather than reorganizing company structures to improve overall productivity and performance.

After my wild goose chase with Ghana telecom, I decided it was time to try something rather, less intensive but convenient. Since the rates at Mtn Ghana are soo outrageously absurd, I didn’t even consider them an option.
I chose tiGO, my beloved company. Another reason I chose tiGO was their fixed price policy in relation to mobile browsing and since I was already a post-paid account user, I thought it was in my interest to proceed in this regard.

TiGO charges $40 USD, for a month's usage of their GPRS internet package. This wasn't the most affordable but since I was desperate, I chose this.
Now, in my first month of usage I discovered the service is anything from assured. It was slower than I thought but I didn't let that stop me. The main problem was that, their servers were most of the time down, I constantly run into problems connecting usually in three day periods. The problem is rather intense since the speed isn’t the best and since the individual is charged monthly and shown no considerations when the payments delay.

The even greater problem was payment; at the time of this writing tiGO has no method of relay payment.
Individual subscribers couldn't link their monthly bills with their personal accounts so that they could be deducted monthly. Each user had to drive to their offices, which were very badly located.
When a user faces problems, there are virtually no response teams dispatched to handle these problems. At one time,
i wanted to find out their customer service number, so one of their attendants gave me one. God knows, I called that number several times, yet I received no response.

These are just a gist of the unprofessional attitudes shown by the so-called; "dedicated" companies in Ghana.
Its just soo pathetic that such things are present in this modern age of business.

There are several times that I am forced to wonder whether
I’m not missing something utterly basic amidst all these shy
cries of foul and hullabaloo
And I think this remotely relates one of the major problems
facing Accra and the continent as a whole. The lack of proper
channels to harness and build up the ultimate abilities of its
subjects and “future leaders” is a surviving necessity of every
social entity.
There were many a time that I found myself literally road-blocked
in the quest of some kind of achievement (which in my case, happens often).
Most people may scream; “What’s the point?” and probably throw
tantrums to the already self destructive cycle which has been
unofficially signed off in the country.
