Voting, or voter participation, is critical for democratic governance, meaning citizens have a say in how and who governs them. The decision to vote or not has become debatable in Ghana due to factors of philosophical, practical, and emotional considerations. Among the most widely cited reasons for encouraging voter participation is the fact that if you don't vote for your party or candidate into office, someone else will vote for a party or candidate you don’t want into office. This analogy reflects the power of a single vote in establishing leadership to bring policies affecting the livelihood of citizens. Again, voting is said to be a way of demonstrating patriotism as a tribute to all the sacrifices of the individuals and organizations who fought for the basic right to vote. Voting philosophically fits in well with the social contract theory, with the assumption that a citizen either implicitly or explicitly gives up some of their freedoms, thereby agreeing to exist under the a...

In today's fast-paced world, the management of finances has become more crucial than ever. With every passing minute of our lives, there are expenditures to be met be it for utilities, food, shelter, or transportation. This necessitates that we cultivate a lifestyle of financial discipline, ensuring that for every minute of expenditure, there’s a corresponding income to support it. This concept is particularly relevant in Africa, where many individuals and families rely on meticulous budgeting and income management to navigate economic challenges. In Ghana, for instance, the cost of living continues to rise, with basic necessities becoming increasingly expensive. From the monthly payment of electricity bills to daily food purchases, the financial landscape can be overwhelming. According to the Ghana Statistical Service, inflation rates can fluctuate significantly, impacting the purchasing power of the average consumer. Each minute spent consuming resources demands a keen understa...

In recent years, Ghana has witnessed an alarming trend: a significant emigration of its young graduates to developed countries such as those in Europe and North America. This outflow primarily encompasses skilled professionals from various fields; engineering, healthcare, finance, and technology as well as artisans like welders, masons, carpenters, tailors, etc who seek more promising career opportunities abroad. Yet, the irony lies in the disheartening reality that many of these individuals find themselves relegated to menial jobs that do not utilize their skills or academic qualifications once they arrive in these foreign lands. This raises a pressing question: who is truly at a loss in this scenario—the nation, Ghana, bereft of its talented youth, or the graduates or artisans themselves, who sacrifice their potential for better financial prospects? Ghanaian brain drain is not a new phenomenon. However, it has gained significant traction over the past decade, driven by various factor...

Listening is very different from hearing. Hearing can simply be defined as the ability to perceive sound using the auditory sense, better still; getting to know or become aware of something. But listening on the other hand is paying close attention or taking a careful note of the sound that is perceived. This means listening depends on hearing. Anyone with a healthy auditory sense can hear but listening is a choice. This also means, one can hear everything but he or she chooses what to listen to. Hearing depend on your ear as a sense organ while listening should be based on your sense of judgement. This also means hearing is passive and listening is active. Meaning by listening, one is doing what he or she has heard. That is why it is important not to listen to everything you hear. This is because hearing and listening can be likened to production and consumption. There are many products or goods that are produced but one can not consume it all. We only choose what is good f...

It seems there is a new network marketing company every single day. I have even lost count of existing ones. Am even getting scared. God should save us. But I like the way they have turned Ghanaians into motivational speakers. You hear them say “Rise up and take your destiny into your own hands”, “Be your own Boss”, “Financial freedom/independence”, etc. Go ahead and take your destinies from God and manage it yourselves. Don’t forget being a network marketer doesn’t make you an entrepreneur, because that is someone’s company. So technically, you are still working for someone. So, tell me what type of entrepreneur will network marketing make you? And we have people leaving (resigning) professions like nursing, teaching, banking, etc to focus on network marketing to be their own bosses. How secured is that network marketing business? If the business collapses today like the banks, will you go on the streets and demonstrate that the Government should employ you again as doctor or...

 Politics in Ghana of late, is becoming appalling. Instead of addressing pressing issues, they go about insulting each other, calling each other all sort of names. It makes me sad, because it has not got anything important for the youth. Unemployment is on the increase, social vices are common everywhere. There is no week passing without accident, rape, robbery cases, should that be the issue? It is time, we the youth come together. When we are together, we makeup a strong voice to speak against these politicians who are only interested in filling their Swiss bank accounts. God of Isaac, Save Ghana.

When I think about Governance in this country, it pains me a lot that views of we the youth are being recognised, rather our future is being used by political parties to gamble. We the youth have better suggestions to give that will help govern this nation, but these are not ready to be heard. Why should the adult always think that, what they think is the best. Every policy or action taken by government of meant to be for a better future and we the youth are the future, so why aren't we allowed to decide the type of future they want. I think the voice of we the youth should be heard first before any policy or action is taken by government. How can this be possible? One day as I lay in my bed waiting for sleep to take over from me, I asked why can't there be youth government? I started imaging how it could b established. A youth government is not necessary having a government full of youth. I rather think of a different body aside the the general government of...

Ghana, a country on the West Coast of Africa, is one of the most thriving democracies on the continent. It has often been referred to as an "island of peace" in one of the most chaotic regions on earth. It shares boundaries with Togo to the east, la Cote d'Ivoire to the west, Burkina Faso to the north and the Gulf of Guinea, to the south. A recent discovery of oil in the Gulf of Guinea could make Ghana an important oil producer and exporter in the next few years. The country's economy is dominated by agriculture, which employs about 40 percent of the working population. Ghana is one of the leading exporters of cocoa in the world. It is also a significant exporter of commodities such as gold and lumber. A country covering an area of 238,500 square kilometres , Ghana has an estimated population of 22 million, drawn from more than one hundred ethnic groups - each with its own unique language. English, however, is the official language, a legacy of Bri...

Ghana, nation in West Africa, a former British colony known as the Gold Coast until 1957. That year Ghana became the first state in sub-Saharan Africa to gain political independence from European colonial rule. Drawing on tradition, the new state took its name from that of the medieval empire of Ghana, on the upper Niger River, several hundred miles to the Northwest of modern Ghana. Following independence, Ghana assumed the leadership role in the African continent’s struggle for national liberation. The people of this densely populated country belong to more than 100 different ethnic groups, but Ghana has largely been spared the ethnic conflict that has torn apart many other African countries. The capital city of Accra is the largest city in the country. English is the official language of the country, but most Ghanaians also speak at least one African language. Ghana has one of the strongest economies in...
