Will Uber Succeed in The Ghanaian Market? Ghanaians Reactions on Social Media.
On June 9th, Uber launched in Accra at the Chinese hotel; Tang Palace. It was a dreary day in Accra as the city got flooded yet again during a heavy downpour. I myself, was caught in traffic which was crawling during rising waters in Kanda. Very scary experience. Naturally, I got there late. I couldn't help but wonder if Uber would consider bringing in UberSUV to Ghana taking into consideration our giant pot-holed roads and flood situations.
A Day #WithRefugees At UNHCR Egyeikrom Refugee Camp
Imagine going about life as usual. It’s Saturday morning and you wake up to the enticing vapours of palm-nut soup emanating from your mother’s kitchen. You stretch your body languorously and scratch your stomach in mindless fashion.

What do you do? Where can you go?
My Car Review of The New Mazda3 & A Weekend Away With The Mazda CX5.

Why Men Need to be Involved in the Pregnancy Process.
The lack of male responsibility starts as early as the time a couple is trying to conceive. Of course if a woman becomes pregnant easily she is praised and the families are happy. However, if she is unable to become pregnant, she, the woman, is held responsible. Although it’s true there are cases when a woman’s infertility can be cause for concern, 33% of the time it’s actually the man who is either infertile or has a very low sperm count. But in African cultures, rarely does a man speak up and admit that he could be the cause of the problem.

Savory Mornings With Kale and Egg Muffins.
Monday mornings can be a total rush. I know that feeling well. My days of having to work at a 9-6 most often saw mornings being the 'empty-stomach' mornings. My stomach only got filled after 9am with a quick cup of tea and tea-bread- croissants- if I was lucky enough to get the last piece.
