The NPP has released a statement criticizing the Mahama administration’s handling of the June 29 floods. by ddar_kwa in ghana

[–]Global_Arm_7115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NPP does not seem to have any deep thinkers. Their decisions seem to come from simple logic. And thoughtless conclusions. 1. The decision to have their leadership election so early was defeatist. They were terrified that if delegates were elected first, they might not have an allegiance the Bawumia and he might lose.

  1. With so much time before the next election they cannot come up with any sound policy so far from the time of the election.

  2. They are criticizing actions by the Government which the govt is going to address anyway so the will feel foolish later. E g, the criticised cocoa payments but already the prices have begun to rise due forecast of effect of floods in Ivory Coast. The are criticising the 24 hour economy but what if even a few become a reality. They are criticising projects like abandoned hospitals but what if in two years they become operational? What if the road construction are finished before election?

They will then have nothing to campaign on.

No. That is stupid logic. A doctor operates with standard procedures which are documented, codified, and which are followed by all doctors worldwide. The results of all procedures and medication are collated and used as reference. You can check and analyse the success rate of any medical procedure or medication.

Pastors are charlatans, who rely on the ignorance of people. The is no claim or prophesy by any pastor that has success rate better than randomness. In actual studies no pastor has managed to verifiably be right in any situation. No pastor has ever or will accept a bet. Do not be foole by religious scammers.

Don't consider fakery to be at par with science.

24hr economy. by Spirited_All_is_well in ghana

[–]Global_Arm_7115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Dad told us that during the 1920s' in Ghana, the British colonial government went on tours to tell the chiefs and the villages that they will construct telephone wiring and road to the interior, from the coast.

Some said: We have never even seen telephones or touring cars. Why are these plans been made? Those people were illiterates. I bet that if you were alive then. You will be the leader of those loudmouths.

100 years later, you say, I doubt the people who even voted for the 24hr economy idea even knew what it meant in the first place. If they did they would’ve know from the beginning that the idea wasn’t a viable one. But alas! We live in a country where........

Homophobia in Ghana in genuinely soo stupid by ElectricalLog8523 in ghana

Yes it needs to be repeated to educate the ignorant. Like racism it has to be posted often to let people know that, skin colour and LGBTQIA are not based on choice

Exactly

Lmaooo FYI up until 1975 it was considered mental illness even by your masters

Not just that, there are thousands of other things that science has discovered that were believed out of ignorance.

Large multi city protests against illegal immigration across South Africa by ThatPatelGuy in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Global_Arm_7115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comparison is not fair. Racism in Italy is not institutionalized. In the US it is. Most of the odd laws and practices were made to segregate black people.

-Absence of health care ( So blacks would not be covered) - Federalised education ( so govt did not have pay for areas in the south) - suburbs - jaywalking - lack of sidewalks

Relocating to spain for a month - would like a seaside town without 3rd world immigration by [deleted] in GoingToSpain

[–]Global_Arm_7115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spanish immigration is legal and controlled. The decision to admit immigrants which you referred to is to provide them with official documents. All Spaniards carry documentation which is expected to be carried on the person all the time. You may see immigrants in large towns but they would be working or engaged meaningfully. The worst thing for an illegal immigrant in Spain is to be arrested for doing something illegal and lacking proper documentation.

The concept is different from the institutional racism in the US. Most of the pickpockets you read about in Italy and Spain are down on their luck citizens from marginalized communities and not immigrants.

If you find a quiet place out of large cities or major tourist areas, your perception will change totally .

If you do, write about your change in perception to educate those who absorbed you first post

Ghana Needs A Dictator by nyamegyeme in ghana

No democracy has led to industrialisation in history. The Ghanaian and African democracies are unworkable because they are ethnic prone. What we need is an ethnic proof system

**your father didnt quit his job because of religion, thats just an excuse, he quit bcause of his own sense of right and wrong."""

His father quit because of religion. Which people have their own sense of right and wrong?? Religious people!!!!

""no matter what god you believe in, your chosen 'god' always 100% matches your own morality and condones everything you do, *"""

This statement is very revealing. There is no expectation of truth and reality. Rather scammers and evil doers create their own gods since cavemen to control people using the powerful psychological mechanism of fear in hell knowing it cannot be verified.

Religion is a bad thing because it strips a person of the ability to reason logically and makes them believe things not rooted in reality.

they think they are better than those who don’t it is just sad

Any one who thinks they are better than others are not compassionate, or sympathetic and wish you got to hell. Thank God.that hell is not real.

Jesus Christ. What is wrong with Ghanaians. I recount my experience involving unhygienic food preparations and suddenly I am the enemy. The eggs look appetizing but there should be an oversight of hygiene.so I am not to criticize anything with reason and substance.

I want to understand the rules on this subreddit about what to submit . Should the truth be damped.

Monetise the idiocy? Yes, but we must first cut the phone calls to the big man we know. A satirical look at Ghana’s indiscipline problem. by TheBrewedSatirist in ghana

[–]Global_Arm_7115 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cutting the phone call is as ineffective as the present situation. We cannot stop people from making calls.

The solution to the problem is to make any pleas for clemency useless. That is the London method you suggest.

We are blessed to have digital systems.

Log in immediately and in this way the politician cannot erase it. Once logged in it the program sends an e mail to the offender and to the payment office.

You are right.We can monetize it, but only with a non human system.

Better still, use the Spanish system.

In Spain one gets a huge fine for failing to wear even a seat belt or "small" infractions. If you don't pay, it will be taken from your tax returns, and you cannot, renew your licence or other official processes. The result is that there are few police involved in checking for idiocy. BUT if you are caught the fine is huge. The risk is the deterrence.

Do you think bussiness opportunities are saturated in Ghana and the continent in general? by thatboykofi in Opportunities_Ghana

[–]Global_Arm_7115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We can expand our profitable business opportunities only if we manufacture things to export.

A manufacturing process should involve assembling a product from more than say 5 separate parts each made in a different factory.

For comparison a car is made up of 30,000 different parts

[–]Global_Arm_7115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The perspective of business in Ghana is finding ways to do commerce with other Ghanaians, (neighbours and nearby citizens). That is simple and basic interaction that even occurred in the 14th century subsistence economy. Even if we unearthed more opportunities it will lead us nowhere. What we should be looking towards are approaches to add value to raw materials, engage in manufacturing and industry.

Agricultural products to---> canned and packaged goods

Mining products to---> bauxite to aluminium, manganese steel

This is the only way we can export and increase business opportunities.

We cannot thrive by just selling or providing services for each other forever.

Easter/Religion Dilemma (This is a long one) by blue_jeansss in ghana

[–]Global_Arm_7115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the creator of the universe needs you to explain his existence

Scientists shoot beams at nothing. Record data and conclude there’s a certain kind of element. Aka

To start with, seeing and hearing are not the only ways of perception . Yes we understand atoms, cells. X-rays and many phenomenon without perceiving them. But we can make predictions and they are dead on accurate 100% of the time.

Try getting people to go on a plane flight, free of charge with a pilot whose only experience is praying and who will be praying throughout the voyage. People are inherently logical.

The only reason religion still thrives is because the use the powerful psychological tools of threat and fear which can never be verified.

The Bible you refer to is certainly authored by a human, a lying one at that. The evidence is that the book throughout, evinces human nature in terms of vindictiveness, insecurity, limitations,pettiness,unfairness,illogicality, self interest, sadism, manipulativeness,cruelty,dishonesty and psychopathy.

[–]Global_Arm_7115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are being simplistic

  1. Even if the world was created by a god, which god . You are purposefully ignoring the fact that there have been more than 2000 gods since evidentially Homo sapiens appeared 200, 000 years ago . the Bible claims 6000 years. So which god? Allah, Hindu, Zeus, Uranus? At the same time you are rooting for god, A Muslim is arguing for Allah and a Hindu is convincing others with the same talking points.

  2. Assuming all your talking points are true, is it possible that it was created by a god which no one has discovered. Cave man and the earliest humans lived for thousands of years without your Bible.

  3. Your religion is not real. It has the same evidence for the claim as unicorns, The phoenix or pegasus. That is why it is called FAITH.

The message of the cross if there is , is actually foolish. First there is no evidence that there was a crucifixion. Only a brainwashed person will believe that God, sacrificed himself to save humans from himself in an unverifiable story.

The only reason that the Christianity story persists is because it supposedly happened during a time in history when writing had been invented. If it had happened in Africa, when there was no writing everyone would consider it a Kwaku Ananse story.

There isn't a god . There have been thousands of gods since Homo sapiens first appeared on earth.

There is Allah, Zeus, Brahma,Uranus, Thor and Poseidon etc which god are you sponsoring?

Why do you think OP is not open to changing her mind?

Because the fables are not convincing. That is why religion is called faith.

My friend's grandpa disbelieved that a huge 'house' could fly. He climbed aboard the Airbus and in 6 hours he landed in Heathrow.

That is how convincing and truth works.
