Start Early, Start Now - Train for better daily income this year. Smartphone repair & accessories is one of the few skills that still pays daily, even in hard times. Phones break every day. People fix them the same day, that's money changing hands fast. Many unemployed people, even those with jobs — are learning this skill quietly to support themselves, or gifting the book to train siblings, relatives, or community youths. Many are buying copies to empower others this season, instead of giving other gifts that finish. GET Chukky Oparandu’s guide - it breaks it down clearly for beginners: repairs, flashing, accessories sales — the skill opens doors into IT careers. No big capital. Just a skill you earn from once you apply it. If you’re planning ahead for 2026, this is one move people are already making. Rush now, Search “Chukky Oparandu” on Amazon or visit selar.co/m/chukky (French edition "Gagnez de l'Argent en Réparant des Téléphones & Tablettes" Available!).

Hmmmm. We have too many holidays for a small country like Ghana. Uncle Sam has a great number of holidays. You can decide to take some of such holidays but will not be paid for taking such holidays.
Some workplaces are very strict on such holidays, especially if your service is needed. In such situations, people who work on such holidays are paid for a time and a half on hour. Places like the Emergency places at some hospitals are paid double salaries because their hospitals. Let us look carefully at the many unneeded holidays, especially the Political ones.

Our laziness has started. In less than 2 months after that is another holiday( 6th March). Constitution day, independence day, republic day and many more. What's wrong with us?

I think that if people want to take that too many holidays, they must be made to work on a Saturday or Sunday to replace such unnecessary holidays.
In Uncle Sam’s place workers can take declared holidays but not all of them are paid holidays. I remember that at my wife’s workplace, paid holidays were for Christmas, Easter, and Independence days. One can take the declared holidays but be assured that you will not be paid because you did not work on such days. Uncle Sam doesn’t toy with productivity and production.

Populism is mainly behind some of these stupid decisions. Millions if Ghanaians are unemployed,yet the private sector which is trying to shoulder this problem is being overburdened with these unnecessary holidays.

This is nonsense. Nonsense in its highest degree.The day must be celebrated on that seventh period.Ghana must stop shifting holidays.No civilized developed country does it.Moreso, what is constitutional day?Constitution brings Democracy.Ghana is now enjoying a stable democracy hence the day must be called DEMOCRATIC DAY.Constitution ( law) is always there, it was democracy that we were lacking. Change the name constitutional day to DEMOCRATIC DAY.Be wise.Have you ever heard a sovereign nation calling itself a constitutional republic?It's always Democratic Republic. Were are they wise men and women.

How many ppl has the NDC Govt employed in the past 12mths in power?How can a jobless person be given a holiday? Probably only President John Mahama can answer these questions.

What has Ghana achieved thru Multiparty Democracy in the past 33yrs? Only a few including the Mahama family have been enriched thru this Democracy thing.The masses have become poorer since 1992.

The truth of the matter is Democracy is not working in Ghana, so there4 we don't need to beat more drums to celebrate its achievement. NDC Govt is provoking the masses.What is holiday to the Unemployed?

Which productivity did I read about, the theoretical one which we assume we are doing or the practical which improves the economy?
Why shift holidays that fall on the weekend to Monday and still talk about productivity?
