Running ecommerce in Ghana is not for the weak. Your delivery agent will reach customer's delivery point and person will intentionally block delivery person, herrrrh e hard o.

@ABDULKUDUSFUSE2 @tech_twi Language you go chop? Everyday you dey social media marking people's grammar. That's why Ghana dey where it dey nu.

@tech_twi Kindly check the start of the second sentence in the first paragraph, boss or na my grammar no good 🫣 *after working through the day

A job itself is hard to find. Even if you’re lucky enough to get a remote job, data is so expensive that you have to work at midnight just to save costs. After working through the night, you intentionally stay out longer so that when you get home around 12:00 a.m., you can continue working. Then at 12:05 a.m., ECG unexpectedly cuts the power. Now you have to ask the client for more time, and the client reduces your payment because of the delay. After finally completing the work, the client asks for PayPal, but you don’t have access to PayPal. You then ask the client to send the money through a bank transfer, and the client says they can only get to the bank in 5 days. Five days later, the money arrives, but it has already lost value because the dollar has moved from 11.2 to 12.0. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the kind of country we live in. Instead of the youth supporting advocacy for change, many would rather defend politicians.

@tech_twi This ECG thing eh. Yesterday I was almost done deploying a bug fix, then boom, ECG came to my hood and took the light. Imagine I was working a remote role with a strict deadline. I could have lost that job over something I can’t control.

@http_gr8 @gracious3105 @instablog9ja It never was. If it was, Ethiopia wont be this comparable poor

@gracious3105 @instablog9ja so you're just gonna dismiss that colonialism was a huge part of our struggles and underdevelopment??? 😭

“Africa’s poverty is not caused by colonialism” — Billionaire Elon Musk

@gracious3105 @http_gr8 @instablog9ja You will be a class prefect in heaven bro. Ethiopia was never colonized. Are they rich?

@http_gr8 @instablog9ja China was colonised so was US, but Ethiopia was not.

@DailyNaijaVoice @instablog9ja Please write for us to understand. We are your readers..

@instablog9ja Yes he is write, it’s caused by the negligence from people like him who are originally Africans in building industries that could help in developing the continent.

@instablog9ja That is very true. Africans mostly are just irresponsible and that is thr cause of our poverty

@stanlee0nX This is so me when I a new number calls me phone.

“Hi” “I have a gig for you”

My vibe coded mobile app just had 70 installs. Keep building guys.

@Graciecreatives So you don't want to volunteer ?

👨🏾‍🦱: Hi, I have an offer for you It’s a volunteer position, No stipends but you’ll have access to millions worth of opportunities and get to collaborate with big developers Me: Hmmmm, o tun gbe mi de be 😂

@Graciecreatives Oh yeah was wrong somewhere that you didn't know. People want value.

@obteo So, you mean my attitude or one of the team member attitude was a liability to them?? And they didn’t realize throughout the whole building process not until we’re almost done with the project ?? Make me understand

I would never work with a startup or anyone without signing a contract agreement. Earlier this year, I worked with a startup as a frontend developer (volunteer role) and when we’re almost done developing the UI, we were dismissed and removed from the repo 😂

@oladapodev @Graciecreatives Can you also work for me for free? On volunteering ?

@obteo @Graciecreatives Do you even understand what she said .

@oladapodev @Graciecreatives Working for a startup is the only way you gain experience on the job. That's where you meet real world problems and solve them.
