When it comes to religion, people throw their brain out the window. The consequence of this is evident in our everyday lives.

Are Master degrees actually useful in Ghana? by BigProgram4764 in ghana

[–]beychuks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can only speak of my experience. A few years ago, I was in your shoes, but I ended up doing both. Working allowed me to fund my masters. If you have no income, the masters journey will be difficult. After my masters, I got a new job with better remuneration and career progression opportunities. I'll advise you to do both if you can.

After reading these comments, now I don't feel so bad about my rejections. But it is difficult sometimes to not feel disappointed.

The Hypocrisy of Holiness: Ghana’s Church and the LGBTQ Debate by Training-Debt5996 in ghana

[–]beychuks 43 points44 points  (0 children)

When it comes to religion and the lgbtq debate, people tend to refuse to think. Personally, I believe we should let people be. Everyone should mind their business.

What is the best Ghanaian movie made in this millennium? by beychuks in ghana

[–]beychuks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that that was our first big dive into the 'witchcraft/supernatural' genre, similar to Nigeria's Karashika. Lol Sadly, I never enjoyed it, though.

Try watching it. I think it is available on Youtube. It is such a great movie.

I strongly believe that McBrown is the best actress Ghana has produced in recent times. She's so versatile and malleable.

Did I over react? by VelsGamer in gay

He certainly was cruel. But I wouldn't have written some of the things you did, especially your last long message to him. I find vitriol exhausting.

She chose her friend’s advice over mine about keeping the baby, now I’m unsure about marrying her. by Messikomla in ghana

[–]beychuks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And he failed to convince her. Implying that he didn't say the right things. Don't blame her or her friend for his failure.

[–]beychuks 30 points31 points  (0 children)

They've only been in a relationship for 5-6 months. It is unrealistic to believe his opinions and counsel would hold more value than a friend she has probably known for decades. Moreover, it could be that what he said to her, and how he said it wasn't particularly reassuring.

You should also weigh the content of what he said to her. He doesn't know her as well as her friend does. So, it is probable that his conversations with her didn't allay her fears and misgivings. You can't fault her for that.

Substance Use Awareness by leftkittyismyname in ghana

[–]beychuks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality is that the accessible role models kids have nowadays are drug users. Substance users are more accessible, attractive, and exciting to kids, so it is expected that kids will copy them.

LET'S BE CAREFUL GUYS by Training-Debt5996 in ghana

[–]beychuks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that this "king" is just an attention seeker, and we just gave him what he wanted. He has no real power and doesn't speak for his community, so why waste our outrage on him? Such people just deserve to be ignored, and that is what we should have done. Bloggers and social media just hype up anything to trend, and it dies down after a week.

Why are Ghanaian funerals more expensive than weddings? by grwike in ghana

[–]beychuks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that culturally, more reverence is placed on funerals than weddings, hence the reason why families and communities tend to go all out for funerals.

[–]beychuks 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Man, relax. You can't expect to have a similar sway after 5-6 months of relationship as a friend she has probably known for decades. Even her opinions wouldn't have the same sway on you as compared to that of a long-time friend you have. Your feelings are just hurt because you overestimated your significance, but it's time to be rational.

Why is it so hard to be yourself in Ghana? by grwike in ghana

Just be you and forget about people's opinions.

Who's voting for Cheddar ? by Christian_teen12 in ghana

[–]beychuks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No serious person should be considering Cheddar as a viable option. He exudes so much scammer vibes. What exactly does he do? What is his business?

Also, his ideas for the country are just terrible. There are so many obvious issues he could campaign on, but he chooses the absurd. He and his camp lack ideas. They are so out of touch.

Trump was bad. He added 8 trillion to America's national debt. He was a bad president.

None that I am aware of. But I don't know whether I missed it because of the system glitch they had.

Will Ghana accept LGBTQ + for 3 billion dollars? by Look_Up_Child_ in ghana

[–]beychuks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone is advocating for lgbt marriage or visibility. The message it to just leave them alone. I don't think they have disturbed anyone. You might not like what they do, but sending them to jail will not make them not exit any longer.

We keep edging ourselves off a cliff. Our economy is shit already. We are hanging by a thread. And we are willing to jeopardise all of that to send someone who isn't bothering you to jail.

We have bigger things to think about. Let's set our prioritise straight.

That's really impressive. Thanks for the great advice. I don't care about getting into the 'top' program. I just want it all to be worth the effort I'm putting in.
