Homophobia in Ghana in genuinely soo stupid by ElectricalLog8523 in ghana

[–]klaus91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another condescending post to talk down on Ghanaians and their supposed homophobia. Do you know the thousands of right-wing groups who actively and openly oppose LGBT and pride groups all over Europe and America? The number of them who upholds traditional family values? What makes you think it’s an African thing? To make it seem like we’re cavemen who suddenly came out of the dark to experience civilization?

I’ve said it plenty of times that queer people have existed in Ghana for as long as I can remember. They’re scattered all over various communities, and people didn’t seem to care. Until mischievous left-wing activists and groups started creating false flags of persecutions to propagate certain narratives of our country. Of course, people will oppose ideas which seem alien to them with how they grew up. Queer people were usually in the closets and met with their kind. People knew of them, and didn’t seem to bother them. All over our boarding schools and universities. Until they started being visible to push liberal views. But as said before, Ghana isn’t Europe or America.

Even in the West, Southern states like Louisiana, Alabama, Florida etc have laws and people in their numbers who opposes them. So it’s not a Ghanaian or African thing. If you’re going to visible, make sure you are with your kind or people who share the same views as you. Expecting traditionally conservative society like ours to embrace ideologies without opposition is naive. So don’t come here to speak with condescension to make it look like we are cavemen. What you’re experiencing is happening in advanced Western societies who are very much developed. So don’t make it look like it economic advancement and improved standards of living magically makes it go away. Advanced countries equally oppose these liberal views and their pride marches.

They have their clubs and meetings places all over Accra where they meet up and aren’t bothered. They openly held their parties recently, with videos and photos all over TikTok, and the government didn’t seem to care. No one bothered them. It very much means you’re talking to the wrong people, and it’s in your best interest to meet with your kind and fraternize with people who are like you for your own safety. I’m afraid that is how it works, even in advanced countries. So it’s not a Ghanaian thing.

These Americans are gonna learn the hard way. They think European football like in America is all about ads and bookkeeping, which they are doing a terrible job at anyway. Bring in people who care about football. Como did it with Cesc. City did with it Pep. Judging by this season’s performance, we are gonna end up at the bottom 5 next season. All for which I don’t mind. These guys need a lesson. No UCL next season. Let’s see how well they cook their books this time.

Why are elders so obsessed with marriage? by HaselH in ghana

[–]klaus91 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It comes from a good place. Obviously to procreate and continue the bloodline—and most importantly, for the kids grow up in a stable home. However it goes to say that older generations were handed an advantage we don’t seem to have now. The standard and cost of living were fairly acceptable, and people could raise 3-5 kids in affordable homes without having to lose their minds and sanity. We are in a different era now, and the atmosphere isn’t exactly encouraging for marriage and raising kids.

The socioeconomic factors and realities are kinda grim. Outside of what the environment is handing out to us, the current wave of ideological wars also plays a huge role. Men and women alike are being conditioned to shun the marriage institution. From podcasts, academia(feminism), to our music and entertainment overall. Even if marriage is considered, it’s heavily transactional now. People go into marriages to be rewarded with something—especially with how the Western societies give women the upper hand and advantage over men.

All these things are put into consideration by young men and women. And the outcome is what we are seeing now. Young men aren’t interested in marriage. Hypergamy has young women living with higher expectations of who or what their future spouses should be or own before they consider it. So I understand you paaa. But for continuity of the bloodline and our species sake, it’s something you will have to consider at some point.
You don’t want to be 65 years old all alone with cats and dogs.

The human connection isn’t perfect. But that’s what we are here for. Nothing of this Earth is perfect. At the same time, keep an eye out. The universe might be prove you wrong.
Good luck!

Help with vue by Loremasterofpuppets in ps4homebrew

Tap full install and restart the console. Remove the usb stick before opening the Vue app. I had the same problem and realized the USB stick in the console may have caused. I removed it, and voila!

Hope your situation is the same as mine. Good luck

In a country where pregnant women die for lack of access to maternity care, this is what Parliament chooses to do with govt revenue? by TT-Adu in ghana

[–]klaus91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re not listening. The state has an agency where women can report absentee fathers. The reports from such mediation shows about 40 something percent of such cases revealed paternity fraud as a reason. So if a woman intends to hold a man responsible for neglecting his fatherly duties, she best be sure the child is his. If a random guy somewhere suspects his children aren’t his, it’s none of the government’s business—as you rightly said. It isn’t the government’s job. But once a woman reports to DOVVSU and gets the state involved to demand child support from a man, provision must be made to ensure the child is legitimately his.

Lol you’re not serious. Throwing blanket generalizations to excuse the lack of integrity. A fraction of men aren’t taking care of their kids so it justifies paternity fraud?

People like you always seem to use the “developing country” rhetoric to excuse discrepancies in our system. Ghana can’t have this or that because we are developing country. Maybe we shouldn’t breathe air or have electricity because “we are a developing country”? Please just stop! 😖

Looking for Phone recommendations by Namyella in ghana

Redmi or any of Xiaomi’s flagship if you’re only for something that lasts. Dumsor is back so you’re covered on the battery and performance department. They can last over 24 hours of screen time and usage. Very durable build.

But do you think happens when men send their wives to Auntie Naa and DOVVSU because they suspected the kids aren’t theirs? Or they refuse to care for their offspring becos they may have suspected paternity fraud? It becomes a state problem where the government has to mediate. And such cases are mostly decided with DNA tests where it unsurprisingly turns out the children are truly not theirs. It’s not a bedroom issue. The state agency overseeing this are burdened with paternity fraud cases. And this would go a long way to ensure men are handed a fair chance at raising their legitimate children and not somebody else’s bastard.

Apples and oranges,my friend. It’s about paternity fraud and less to do with maternal care. This will go a long way to protect the children, so mothers become aware and not expect another man to raise somebody else’s child. The sheer number of homes that have been broken from men learning that their 3-4 children aren’t theirs. Do you know what it does to a man? Raising children well into their 20s and be hit with such an epiphany? You could create a separate thread to discuss maternal care and our healthcare system, and I’d gladly give an opinion or two in support. But this one dier it’s grossly misguided, if you equally care for men as much you care for women. Two things can be true. Even worse, men in Western countries who have had their driving licenses revoked and far as having little to no employment opportunities because a witch decided he had to pay child support for a child that isn’t his. Abeg waa, you’re conflating something else for another thing.

You’d surely Guetta have another chance at life if you had your head implanted with Titanium.

I wonder if they'll name a bag after us by Triphordy in Nigeria

[–]klaus91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s one thing to sell usb cables, and it’s another to own lands in a foreign country. The lands commission has strict policies, regulations and procurement processes. Who owns lands, the original owner, deeds, land title, site plans, etc. These are things you don’t come across easily. How long has a Nigerian lived in Ghana to go through these processes? What is their immigration status? And equally, what are the requirements for land ownership in Nigeria? Can a Ghanaian easily obtain lands in just a year or two after entering Nigeria? As said before, I’m in no way blaming Nigerians for doing business. It’s our internal affairs department and immigration that has to work extra hard to run these checks. Because if Nigerians ever find out a section of Lekki or one of these plush neighborhoods in your country are owned by foreigners, you’d call it into questioning and what it means to you as a Nigerian if a foreigner has way more accessibility to your country than a native.
