ARE YOU AN EMPLOYEE OR AN INTRAPRENEUR?

Image
There are a number of good reasons why some graduates prefer to be entrepreneurs in Ghana. It could be the undeniable appeal of being one's own boss, dictating your own hours and pace of work, and the unmistakable lure of sharing profits and benefits with no one but oneself! This choice in all measures, could be very well the best way to grow individually and also contribute to the economic growth of our country. Considering the difficulty of running a business in it's early stages and the volumes of hard work and dedication needed for the enterprise to survive and grow before the fifth year, entrepreneurs deserve the maximum support from the government in the form of policies that support the growth of local businesses and the respect of fellow citizens. Another reason could be the enormous desire to get away from an unhealthy working environment where the talents, skills, and potentials of employees are not nurtured. There have been instances where very bright, creativ

'WHY ARE YOU COMING BACK HOME?'

Image
'WHY ARE YOU COMING BACK HOME?'  Homecoming! Living in Ghana most of my life, I grew up with the belief that living abroad is the best thing that could ever happen to me. Why? Well, with the high unemployment rate of graduates, coupled with low salaries that keep most employees in debt irrespective of their qualifications, who wouldn't believe? I grew up in a family where those abroad were treated with more respect than the local relatives, oh yes, my parents included. So when my father got the opportunity to travel abroad, I also began to dream. Attitudes changed towards me and then finally my mother also got the opportunity to travel. Now I knew I had certainly hit the jackpot: Very soon I was going to bid Ghana goodbye and say hello to 'Greener Pastures' and I just couldn't wait for the day. Luckily for me I got my first taste of living abroad at a very young age: 15. I went to visit my parents and was I in for the first ever Reality jolt! Let m

WHO DO YOU BLAME?

Image
WHO TO BLAME ? GOD OR GOVERNMENT ? Mark Twain once advised that, “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, then it means that the time has come for you to pause and reflect.” I do not know if what I am sharing with you now is a reflection on my stance with the ‘supposed’ majority; however I believe that this piece will definitely keep you on the other side of the majority should you ever find yourself in that situation; at least that is my hope.   There are two powerful abstract ideas at work in the world. One is the belief in the existence of God; the other is the belief in the existence of money. Almost everyone believes in the existence of money and that they “own” it, but money is just a form of barter. Money has no value unless other people accept it. Money is an intellectual agreement. It is real because we believe it exists. Generally, the Ghanaian economy has been at the centre of a tug-of-war between the Government and some citizens if not

FOR HIS FRIENDS

Image
TO ALL MY LADIES, FOR THE HOMIES! This long note is totally written on impulse so please do not take offence. My female mind was fast forwarding to the future as usual and instead of the usual romantic-filled day dreams, I had an unsettling realization this dawn. Truth be told, I was momentarily taken aback because in-laws are the ones normally known to give this buzz of complaints (truth hurts, huh?). As such, I was baffled at the guilt that plagued me after my sub-conscious person prompted me that all my effervescent daydreams had one thing in common: ‘The self-interested, albeit unconscious, omission of the presence and importance of the ‘homies’ in my future husband’s life.’ Ladies, it is possible that any of your man’s (husband, fiancé, boyfriend) friends (aka Homies) will not like you for a reason as bizarre as, ‘She has taken over the life of our ‘best friend’ completely without any room for us.’ I earnestly hope not but if this déjà vu happens to be real, the

IT IS WHAT IT IS

WHAT IS IT? What is it? That which I see when I look into your eyes It is not just a reflection of my image It is not just the colour of your eyes It is that which is hidden behind the image In the blink of your eyes Which is as old as an adage And as fresh as the tears in your eyes What is it? That which I read when you smile It is not just the politeness of a welcome It is not just to last for a while 'that which is hidden behind the welcome' It is that which is hidden behind the welcome In the stretch of your smile That which bids me come Even when I have to walk more than a mile What is it? That which I hear in your heart It is not just the sound of your heartbeat It is not just the work of a natural art It is that which makes my heart beat To the song only I can hear in your heart That which makes me tremble in the heat And gives me the shakes at the thought of being apart What is it? That whic
