They called the police on a three-year-old because he is good at soccer. Read that again. They called the cops on a toddler.A three-year-old. Because he can kick a ball better than the other kids on the field. Not because he assaulted anyone. Not because he had a weapon. Not because he was a danger to anyone. Grown adults watched a toddler play a sport and decided the appropriate response was to dial emergency services and send uniformed officers to deal with a child who has not yet started kindergarten.

MTN Ghana, enough is enough! ⚠️ The way our data dey finish nowadays is becoming unbearable. We dey pay for data, not for frustration! Stop taking Ghanaians for granted and fix this nonsense! 😡🇬🇭 @MTNGhana @samgeorgegh

Someone said “Men mistake kindness as flirting because they wouldn't be kind to someone they are unattracted to”😭😭😭 & it’s TRUE

Yes, the name thing is real, @asemota. Narrated this story before: before my face became popular, my name got me into rooms where they assumed i was a (middle-aged) white man. Around 2008, I was very close to changing my first names to my Ghanaian names. This was shortly after Ghana@50, when a surge of nationalism was sweeping through the country and names like Adom, Nhyira, Dromo, Dzormo, etc were becoming popular and lots of folks were switching to their local names. The owner of the station where I did my national service suggested to me that because I was looking at an international journalism career, it was best if I kept all my English names. I thought it was nonsense, because I didnt why/what my name had to do with anything if my work was good. And I knew my work was good. After interesting back and forth within the family, we decided to follow his advice. (RIP, Big Jay 🙏🏿) And, boy, was he right. The next 3-4 years were crucial. When the explosion of Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Tumbler, Blogger meant the major international media needed social-media digital ninjas to populate their new media, I was ready. However... I consistently had several editors of international publications admitting they initially thought I was some white dude. The implication was not lost on me; I knew what they meant. Because I made my name as a writer long before radio/TV, the credibility made transitioning easy, so I did not have trouble being accepted on international TV and radio. But I have often wondered if they'd have taken a chance on my work had they met me with all my Ghanaian names in the beginning...

At this point, I'm exhausted. And yes! I'm not surprised either. 📷 Erastus Donkor

Women who choose not to have children get more hate than men who abandon the children they already have

Like I thought.

Everyone saying white girls have it easy but pray tell, who is making it hard for Black girls if not other Black people? See how the white people let their girls just exist? Yeah.
