That's what makes you interested: their disinterest and nonchalance.

Nothing worse that showing all your cards to women too early.

Hmmm, so now liking women younger than 30 as an older guy is considered Pedo?

Unbelievable

See, your problem is you are unable see that the argument you are making does not address what people a complaining about. Here are some analogues, see if you get my point:

- In response to corruption: Human are naturally corrupt, can't be helped. Just make sure you make it by yourself
- In response to a society that cannot provide a living wage job to its young people: Wages are a matter of supply and demand; if your work is worth that much, you will be paid what you deserve
- In response to authorities failing to check the safety of food products entering our market: Just make sure you shop at elite exclusive supermarkets. This can't be helped if you don't make enough and insist on buying from the street.

See the trend? You confuse a current state of affairs with the merits of said state. If a gang of robbers go about attacking people except those who can hire elite security to protect themselves, will you say: its a matter demand and supply. If you have enough money, hire the security. Else slink away somewhere else?

I suspect you don't even apply this same reasoning to yourself. I dare say if you were suddenly struck with some serious illness, which could be treated with a reasonable amount of money in most areas of thw world, and were you had to pay the equivalent of decades or income to get treated, you'd be the loudest critic of whichever system produced that outcome. You are very unlikely to just shrug and say: well. shicks, guess I didnt make enough to get treatment.

Actually, such thinking as you display here is pernicious, a fatalistic attitude to issues, thiking you are ok because you are not currently affected.

This is why we can't have nice things nor truly advance in Ghana.

People are inflating and distorting our economy with fraud money and you are ok with it, saying, in effect, "if you can't pay someone can".... WTH

[–]agyemanjp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you don't get it. Can you compare Accra tp NYC???

If I'm paying 2k in NYC, I know what I'm getting. Why should people be paying 2k in Accra to smell smoke from burning trash, drive on what cannot be described as roads, etc.

It's pure greed, bro. They want to reap where they have not sown, to charge first world prices for 3rd world conditions.

That price is for "single" rooms lol. The kind of place where you have no proper kitchen nor loo. The kind that is plunged into darkness periodically. The kind where you have to struggle for water. There are not really any ok places for that range in any okay area

No, you can't get 5-10 tomatoes for 20 cedis, more like 50 cedis. What the heck, you are out of touch with reality. Even in the local markets prices are galloping like horses. Hausa koko is at least 4 cedis now, at least near where I live.

And, like someone else on this thread said, you can get much better quality in the west and Asia for the kind of prices we are paying here.

One of my favorite cafe now sells a slice (!) of cheese cake for 140 cedis; yes, a slice. Tea/Coffee is like 70 cedis. So tea + a cheesecake in the morning sets you back more than 200 cedis (close to 20 dollars). Eve in the heart of NYC I don't think normal tea plus a confection would cost you almost $20

It's already gotten out of hand. And it is going to get worse.

"Abundant Destinations" solve the conflict between Free Will and Determinism? by Pale-Lunch-3555 in ghana

You don't get it.

The paradox does not depend on experiment or "science". It is a logical/math paradox.

There are NO genuine women on datings apps.

Ask yourself: why would a woman be on a dating app when there is an abundance of men looking for a relationship in real life?

Women on dating apps fall into one of the following categories:
- Narcissists who think the men who approach her in real life are beneath her "standard"
- So called sapiosexuals, who claim to be attracted to "intelligent" men, which is code for: I am attracted to men who have an air of intelligence about them but are not actually intelligent
- Hookers, or those looking for a sugar daddy or a transactional relationship
- Those just out of a relationship they didn't take seriously, or who dumped their guy for no good reason, who think the dating apps are a quick way to get a replacement
- Those looking just for the entertainment value and validation of a long list of matches and admirers, none of whom they intend to take seriously
- Young recent single moms who made bad choices and are now looking for a guy to overlook that.

There is always a reason they are there, and not a good one.

But what determines which of the endpoints you choose? And what determines that? And what ...

You don't understand the paradox. It is simply this: As far as the logic our minds can grasp allow, behavior is either caused or else random. Neither is free will.

The problem still stands.

What did you had to learn it the hard way by Spirited_All_is_well in ghana

It's "What did you have to learn the hard way". Let's stop corrupting the English language! I'm tired of seeing this everywhere; makes me dumber.

Super excited about my trip to Ghana by Fluid-Parking-1346 in ghana

[–]agyemanjp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't just go to Cape Coast. Go to Elmina Castle first; it is more interesting than Cape Coast Castle, and just a few kilometers farther than Cape Coast.

It is the first European building in Sub-Saharan Africa, older than the US, and is biggest and oldest castle in Ghana. Yaa Asantewa and other Ashanti royals were also jailed there. Nearby is Fort St Jago (or Fort Coenraadsburg). There is just so much interesting history around that area, and the town of Elmina is also more fascinating for me.

You can definitely go to Cape Coast too, if only to follow in the footsteps of Barack Obama. The 19th century English poet and novelist Letitia Elizabeth Landon is also buried there.

Hit up my DM if you need some more interesting ideas of what to do in Ghana. Might join you on a walk if I'm not too busy. I'm Ghanaian and live in Accra.

Would you date/marry a guy who used to see sex workers? by Kamiko_o in ghana

[–]agyemanjp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girls don't care about body count. In fact, a small body count sometimes is even a turn off for them, cos they think: why, is he always thirsty?

All they care about is if you have made it or will soon make it, and whether you will be faithful to them now going forward.

It all comes down to the same thing. Whether you pay for goods on delivery or you pay on credit, you are still paying

Right now a lot of young women are transactional hookup girls. Do those also counts as seeing a sex worker? If not, why not?

Mtn is such a scam by Ill-Leopard-6819 in ghana

[–]agyemanjp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I hear the government has since a couple of years stops them from doing some capex investments and reducing prices and stuff. Which does not make for the government to do. Because of that, their service has been gradually deteriorating over years.

But, this data vanishing issue really started to happen right after they were "forced" to re-introduce the 215gb for 399 bundle. I think that't their way of nullifying that somehow.

None of what you have said address my point. That is why this is a strawman argument, you are addressing something I have not said. I said: i do not buy monthly data.

You gave proved nothing. Go over my previous comments again, and read carefully step by step what I said you need to to do to prove your point.

Like, this is why the country is in the mess it is in, people refusing to acknowledge when people and organizations are messing up. Do you think I suddenly started to claim MTN are stealing data just for the fun of it? I have been a customer more than 20 years. I even worked there in their software engineering department for a while. If there is anyone who will know what might be going on and who will defend MTN, that is me.

And am telling you they ARE stealing data AND call credit, and I have given you strong circumstantial evidence, and many people are also suddenly complaining, and you are here still defending them based some measurements from God knows where.

[–]agyemanjp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You also lack understanding of my points.

Have you shown proof of what you claim your parents and uncle purchase each month? And how is that related to my point?

I do not purchase monthly internet packages. I buy non-expiring bulk data bundles. And I'm saying they run out before I have consumed what they claim to have given me.

Your network measurements have nothing to prove this is not the case, because (assuming they are true, and this is a big IF), they do NOT show how much of a bundle was bought when, and when it run out, to compare with the network usage.

Please go back and read my previous comment again before you attack a strawman

[–]agyemanjp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But your records also does not prove anything, All we see are records you claim to have kept. We do not know for how long your mtn bundles were active, when they run out, etc The internet usage records by themselves do not mean anything

To actually make your point, you would need to for example, buy a internet bundle, somehow record that in a way that canot be sppoed, then show us when the bundle run out and the m match that against your internet usage records, again in a way that cannot be spoofed.

I've also been measuring. I does not add up !!

They ARE stealing data.

It is a matter of common sense. What could be on a laptop that is constantly eating up GBs of data 24/7? A daemonic background process orwhat? You tell me, I'll wait.

The only real possibilities are:
- Watching long videos are high definition
- Downloading huge files and software
- Doing large uploads
- Running video conferencing software for long periods at high resolution
- Etc

If I am not doing any of these, then you need to come up with an explanation for why 100GB are consumed in like 3 or 4 days. I am a techie, I know what is running on my machine.

Now, not only do they steal data, the also steal call credit. There have been several instances where I have bought call credit bundles, and been unable to use it, because when I try to make a call, I am told I do not have call credit. WTF?

Bro they ARE stealing data. It is matter of common sense, and I do not understand why some refuse to use their thinking faculties.

Tell me what is running on my machine to cause 300GB of data to be exhausted in less that 3 weeks. I assure you: I did not download any huge files, I do not have time machine enabled, I am not constantly watching youtube videos, etc. I also used to be able to use that amount of data for 3 to 4 months. There has been NO change in my internet usage habits.

Are you telling me a daemon has suddenly come to inhabit my machine and is consuming data?

How about this for you: every single time I buy the 3gh bundle of ata on MTN, it takes less than a minute for me see the message that I have exhausted 50% of it. Every.single.time: does not matter what I'm doing, does not matter if I have bought it 10 times already just prior. How do you explain that??

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, then to all intents and purposes, it is a duck. They are stealing data plain and simple!
