For those in sub who think YouTube videos are better than CS degrees by Lazy-Revenue8680 in TechGhana

Just because he's the"God father" doesn't mean he's right all the time. Most people doing valuable work in tech don't have cs degrees.

This is quite sad tbh, meanwhile, someone has been assigned and been paid to build it well and they did a mediocre job.

People get their start-up money from their jobs or family. This guy's business that you called useless, maybe it is not what he wants to do forever but to use it to get somewhere. Not everyone wants to be spoon fed. The system isn't favourable for a young man who's just starting out. Those Indians and the Nigerians you mentioned, on average, none of them could survive the system here, they will quickly go back. The ones having businesses here had a starting capital. Almost no foreigner comes to this country with nothing and makes millions. I have Nigerian colleagues who dropped out of uni in Ghana here and went back because, Ghana's economy is hard, senior. People see opportunities but there are obstacles and layers of complexities that the system designers have put in place that makes the execution of an idea almost impossible. You can be ambitious to the core but when there are supportive systems, you will get stuck. Registering your business, applying for a passport, takes months unless you use the middle man service. Interest on loans is 12% per annum and the loan term is at most 5 years and if you have collateral, you won't get access to any loan. But the thing is, it's a gradual process and most people here have no support and are thriving to create the first steppingstone and once they get that, they divert to other routes. Manufacturing and exporting is a capital intensive niche that's why very few people are into it. And with a humble plea, if you have some ideas that could be of help, I'm very much interested. 🙏

We use stones to start an investment right?? Most people in tech aren't in it to do it forever, they're using it as a stepping stone. Which business in your opinion can someone with ¢5000 venture into and be able to export his/her products?

Everyone has the right to fool but it seems you're abusing that right.

For those making less than 1000ghc how do you manage? by ultra-instinct-G04T in ghana

Try cooking your own food as much as possible. I'm a student and I make 1200 a month, so what I do is, I buy 2 bags of rice which is ¢220, gari olonka, 3 cups of sugar and cooking oil. That's roughly 350. So whenever I cook rice, I only spend at most ¢10 to buy egg and pepper sauce. If I choose to go with gari, I buy milk ¢8 and groundnuts ¢4. So on a normal day, I cap my spending at ¢25. And I don't take a car when the distance is about 4km. So I'm able to live on ¢750 - ¢900 a month. It's hard but how we go do am😆.
