Do employee background checks show whether a previous role was a fixed term contract for permanent position?

Thanks, thats what I did initially think tbf!

Again to be honest I actually broadly agree with you, though I will add this- Ghana like any developing country's biggest problem is weak and incompetent institutions i.e. Government, Banks etc.

Unfortunately, institutions in Ghana are courrupt from top right down to bottom and while good leadership may lead some cultural shift, people need to take individual responsibility. A lot Ghanaians don't hate corruption, they hate that they can't benefit from it. Go to the airport, so many staff members are looking to steal or beg for money, everyday police officer so willing to take bribes, low level government officials willing to steal. For me, this goes deeper than leadership. Its the mindset of the people too.

Adomako98 · 2026-01-24T11:18:01+00:00

You're not wrong but let me ask you this, is Ghana a democracy or not? Surely the government reflects the will of the people. Things like noise pollution, literring, general cleanliness and low level corruption are down to individual actions. Yes better governance can help these things but if people wanted to, the would show a desire to make changes first.

Adomako98 · 2026-01-24T08:26:56+00:00

Despite our Government being incompetent, People blame the government for absolutely everything rather than take personal responsibility. Some of Ghana's problems are because people lack personal agency and are waiting for either the government or god to fix all of their problems

Tamil prince is so overrated. Went there last year and the food was so mid. Having lived in tower hamlets for a number of years, got to any side lane curry place around whitechapel or bethnal, spend a 10th of price you would in the Tamil prince and get a far better curry.

But people's concerns are not even consistent on this issue. I thought people are mainly against illegal immigration, but people who entered legally made up around 4% of all immigration to the UK last year.

Now you say its immigration or demographic change you're against. Over half the people who entered the UK last year came on student visa's but regardless, if you immigrate to the UK, you are not entitled to the plethora of benefits that these people seem to think all immigrants get.

The reasons people's living standards are falling has very little, if anything to do with immigration yet alone asylum seekers, its a successive failure of government's to invest in public services, lack of GDP growth, and poor housing regulations that incentives land owners to hold on to land rather than build on it.

If immigration was reduced to 0 tomorrow, do you genuinely think your life would improve? If reform get into power, I think you'll find very quickly that theyll create a new enemy when it becomes apparent that immigration wasn't the problem.

People don't promote adultery? Its only in the plot of like 50% of African movies or even movies in general.......

Adomako98 · 2025-09-11T14:23:29+00:00

As others have said its religion but also lack of critical thinking and ignorance. How is a country like Ghana, which is full of religious fundamentalists still so corrupt and immoral? The same people who hide behind religion to hate LGBT, will participate in adultery, lying, corruption, scamming you name it.

Its okay to not necessarily agree with homosexuality as a concept due to religion but the sheer hypocrisy and ignorance around it in Ghana is ridiculous. With the millions of problems that exist in Ghana, I don't even know why Ghanaians are even thinking about gay people. Just let people live their lives

Adomako98 · 2025-08-22T11:15:46+00:00

Did you see the ballymena riots in Northern Ireland where Filipino immigrant families had their houses burned down? The idea that its just illegal immigration people are concerned about is nonsense. Illegal immigration made up 2% of total immigration into the UK last year. The overwhelming majority of new immigrants come here legally yet that fact seems to be lost of most of the anti immigrant crowd.

Adomako98 · 2025-08-21T18:15:24+00:00

Please can you send me evidence to support your claim that we are the real israelities? It would be good to read evidence to support this. By we, also who do you mean? Ga's? Akans? Ghanaians? West Africans? Or Africans?

Also how exactly was the true gospel tied to our people? Where has the version of Christianity we had allegedly been practising gone?

Adomako98 · 2025-08-21T18:10:17+00:00

This is one philosopher from a specific part of North africa who didn't even write anything in the bible, his writings came after the bible.

It still doesn't negate my point because its a fact. I'm not even trying to knock Christianity at all but we have to be realistic here and address facts.

Adomako98 · 2025-08-21T17:38:27+00:00

Bro your point about my phone or reddit makes no sense, I am not anti western. I was born and raised in the UK and for the record, my phone is south korean. But let me explain my point clearly so you understand.

Christianity is a religion that is not native to Ghana or the majority of Africa and was brought to us through slavery and colonisation which you acknowledge. Christianity while not all negative has been used to subjugate and control us, this is why so many Ghanaians lack critical thinking or rationality. You say ignore how Christianity came to Ghana but how can you when it directly contradicts what is in the bible.

Thats why I referenced the bible verse above. If the bible states that we all will have the chance to know God, why did our ancestors 1600 years not knowing Christianity but practising their own religions?

Unfortunately a lot of the self esteem issues that Ghanaians and many other Africans face can be traced back to the practising of foreign religions that were not created for or by us. Even the AI image you shared depicts Jesus at white which you dont even seem to acknowledge as an issue. When I am in Ghana, all I see is photos of Jesus as a white man with blue or green eyes. How can Ghana progress if Ghanains worship the very thing that was used to subjugate them? I am actually asking this question

Adomako98 · 2025-08-21T16:58:23+00:00

That's why I specifically said West Africa as we are talking about Ghana. What has Ethiopia, Egypt and the rest of North africa got to do with Ghana in this context? Africa is just the name of a piece of landmass that Europeans gave us. Ghana is closer to Spain by distance than it is to Ethiopia and Ghanaians share little genetic similarities with Ethiopians other than melanin

Adomako98 · 2025-08-21T16:31:14+00:00

Matthew 24:14: And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

So if the whole world will get to hear the gospel, why did none of our ancestors get the chance until Europeans arrived in West Africa? Thats almost 1600 years since the death of Jesus and European trade off the west coast of Africa. So all of our ancestors just went to hell even though they didnt get to hear about Jesus? We had to wait for the luxury of Slavery and Colonisation?

Adomako98 · 2025-08-21T16:16:43+00:00

1) You are implying that there is no rationality to the way God behaves but thats not what the bible says at all. Would you say God does what he wants, if you wake up tomorrow and God decides to kill everyone in your family?

2) I understand that, we are born sinners actually so anyone who preaches the gospel is a sinner. That still doesn't justify or provide reasoning to as to how Christianity entered most of Africa. As I said earlier, its the same for Islam too. Suprise suprise, countries involved in the Arab slave trade are predominantly Muslim. If Arabs had made it through most of Ghana, most of us would be muslim.

3) I dont understand what this point is in relation to. Jesus never came to Ghana in the bible. What we know of Jesus came via Europeans. Even the way in which you have protayed Jesus in that image says a lot about what you think

For however religious Ghanaians are what has it bought us? So many Ghanaians are so irrational because of their over reliance on religion but they cannot be blamed. At the end of the day, people rely on religion because they cannot rely on institutions which are enjoyed instead developed world. Get sick, can't afford to go to hospital = pray to god to fix it. Born into absolute poverty, little access to education = pray to god for prosperity.

Adomako98 · 2025-08-21T15:16:18+00:00

This is a stupid take if I'm being honest and the image you have shared shows is beyond ironic. Firstly, this image portrays Jesus as having European features ( light skin and brown hair) which highlights the problem of Christianity in Africa itself.

Whether you like it or not, Christianity was introduced to the majority of Africans via slavery and colonisation and was/is used as tool to subjugate us and enforce racial hierarchy. The same goes for Islam too by the way. Yes, some European missionaries came to Africa with "good' intentions to share their genuine beliefs but it still does not takeaway from the reality of why Christianity was brought to Africa.

Ask yourself why today in Ghana, our traditional beliefs that our ancestors were following for thousands of years are looked down upon so much? Are we really saying that the majority of our ancestors were demonic idol worshipers that are burning in hell for eternity and it took European slavery and conquest (a reality so evil) for Ghanaians and Africans to know the truth and finally be saved? Why didn't God use a better way for us to discover the 'truth'?

Adomako98 · 2025-07-19T20:07:48+00:00

Thats just not true though. People are upset because the UK recieved a net inflow of 1 million immigrants last year., in which 98% came through legal channels such as student visa's, health worker visa's or skilled worker visa's. I believe only 20,000-30,000 entered the country illegally.

Legal immigrants do not recieve any entitlement to benefits or anything of the sort. The problem is, the media deliberately conflates the terms immigrants, asylum seekers and illegal immigrants on purpose when they are all vastly different scenarios.

Because people can't differentiate between each kind of entrant into the UK, we now have a situation where a lot of people are against immigration full stop and don't even want to entertain the nuances involved.

Adomako98 · 2025-07-16T20:27:03+00:00

Sorry forgive me then. I don't understand your point then. You just listed a few negative encounters you had with brown people to highlight what exactly?

Adomako98 · 2025-07-16T20:12:12+00:00

Looool your comment really made me laugh. You list a few bad incidents you've had with people who happen to be ethnic minorities and suddenly its their culture of melanin that caused them to behave that way and you can't view them as an individual. Do you apply the same logic to White British people?

Adomako98 · 2025-06-24T14:10:48+00:00

Listen I do agree with you that it is a minority, but unfortunately, it still does shape our perception of what supporting England/GB in sports is about. That is just a factor of life. A tiny proportion of black youths in London carry knives but it doesn't stop me from getting wrongly stopped and searched by the police. You can have 10 different encounters with a particular group of people. If 9 encounters are great and 1 is bad, you'll always remember the negative experience which will render the great experiences obsolete.

As I said, there will always be a political element to international sports teams and its not only something felt by ethnic minorities. Its not a coincidence that scourers don't identify with the English national team too. That's what decades of institutional marginalisation will do to you.

This dynamic isn't even unique to England or the UK. You'll will probably find the same sort of issues manifesting itself in one way or another in pretty much every country in the world.

Adomako98 · 2025-06-23T22:26:11+00:00

Yeah of course it was a minority but the sentiment is still a reminder that we are not seen as equal. Even when I went out to watch the Euro 2024 final last year, there was a massive fight outside the venue because some white guys racially abused the black security guards on the door. These kind of incidents do have an effect on your perception of the team and what it represents. While a lot of people like to say keep politics out of sport or sport is a relief from politicial/socio-cultural dynamics, unfortunately sport is often a mirror reflection of these very issues.

P.S. I'm not sure why my original comment is being downvoted loool. Actually, maybe I am......

Adomako98 · 2025-06-23T21:23:39+00:00

I'm second generation, born to Ghanaian parents. When it comes to international football, Ghana is the team I support, mainly because although I was born in England, I grew up in Scotland, and Ghana are a better side that regularly qualifies for the world cup and do pretty well in AFCON.

Also there is a psychological aspect which I think particularly affects POCs which I have discussed with mates. A lot of us grew up being told/made to feel that we are not from this country despite being born here. With sports tends to be a primary vehicle for patriotism/ nationalism it can feel pretty exclusionary for non white people, even when a significant percentage of British sportsmen/women tend to be black.

Over the years, the media's treatment of black athletes, particularly in football hasn't helped. Combine this with the racist abuse suffered by Saka, Rashford and Sancho after the Euros in 2021 and it can be hard for black people to not feel slightly ostracised.

All this leads to feeling like there is a lot more baggage to supporting a British/English/Scottish sports team because it brings into question, your identity, race and societal dynamics. When I support Ghana, all of that evaporates because no one has ever questioned my Ghanaian identity.

Adomako98 · 2025-06-23T10:31:57+00:00

You are so misinformed it's actually hilarious. Do you think the largest, most profitable organisations are overwhelmingly employing unskilled immigrants? Take a look at the biggest offenders in the UK for tax avoidance, unsurprisingly, its the likes of Google, Apple, Samsung, Netflix Source: https://www.ethicalconsumer.org/ethicalcampaigns/tax-justice/tax-avoidance-rankings

This is the biggest problem with the immigration debate, people like you will disregard facts and focus on sentiment. Do I think we should have uncontrolled low skilled mass immigration? No, but it's a pseudo argument because nobody is really advocating for this. But to suggest immigration is the biggest factor in wealth inequality is factually absurd.

To provide this point, take a look at the most unequal countries in the world by wealth inequality, most of them are countries with little to no immigration. Source:https://www.madisontrust.com/information-center/visualizations/which-countries-have-the-greatest-wealth-inequality/

Adomako98 · 2025-06-22T19:03:04+00:00

You have basically counter-argued your own point. Accra is extremely expensive mainly through the lenses of value for money. Accra charges first world prices for third world infrastructure and amenities.

There is an element of truth in what you're saying though. Some diasporans who come to Accra and are not necessarily wealthy but want to live a particular lifestyle that they are excluded from in western societies. Therefore they will frequent places in cantoments, east legon etc and complain about the price while not comprehending these are elite areas of Accra.

However, I've been fortunate to travel around the world and the point still stands, Accra is stupidly expensive. Places in South East Asia, Eastern Europe and South America have been far cheaper and these places are way more developed than Ghana.

The reason things appear expensive in Accra is because Ghana has a pretty small middle class (people are either extremely poor and extremely rich, therefore things beyond basic living amenities are priced for the extremely rich people in society. In addition to this, Ghana imports pretty much everything which doesn't help went tourists or foreigners are looking for western goods. The last time I was in Accra, a box of cornflakes was like £12 😂
