Personality Traits of People Born on Each Day of the Week — According to African Beliefs

By


In many African cultures—especially among the Akan people of Ghana—the day you were born carries spiritual and emotional significance. It's more than just a date; it’s believed to shape your personality, strengths, weaknesses, relationships, and even career tendencies.

These names, called Kra din (soul names), are commonly assigned at birth and are associated with deeply rooted traits and responsibilities—specific to both male and female individuals.

As a digital marketing professional with a passion for culture and storytelling, I believe these indigenous insights can be valuable in understanding ourselves and those we work with or love.

Number 1. SEX: For many, sex is the main reason for marrying; to avoid the temptation of falling into sexual misconduct, they would hurriedly marry. Others too will marry to prevent unexpected pregnancy during their courtship. I imagined how promiscuous i would become if i did not think of marriage or decide to marry in the shortest possible time. One foolish reason I married was to prevent any sexual misconduct, an unexpected pregnancy, and to enjoy sexual pleasure without fear or remorse. Number 2. HEAVEN: Have you wondered how many have died in their sins? Good people have died in their sins because of one little addiction they could not overcome. In order to overcome that sin that affects almost every single person, i had to marry. For me, marriage was my key to salvation and heaven. As a devoted Christian or religious person, If you have a sexual sin problem and you do not know how to solve it, your best bet would be to marry; since marriage seems to be the safe have...

TINY CONTAINER HOMES, THE SOLUTION TO GHANA’S HOUSING PROBLEMS 20foot container room Hitherto, shipping containers in Ghana are used to transport cargo, construct shops and small size offices; only few have seen the prospects of using the shipping container to build cheap homes. Ghana has over 1.7 million housing deficit amidst all the real estate companies around; the average Ghanaian cannot afford to build or buy a house until after retirement. Young employees will prefer to buy a car than to build a house nowadays, and this is because, they see the housing project as a very long term goal. Interview 20 Ghanaians and almost all of them will tell you that they have ambitions to build their future houses but their salaries cannot assist them.

WORLD OF WISDOM ZINGER - LOVE

By

LOVE Love is what makes humans super-humans. Do you have love? Love is an unconditional acceptance and endurance of another who does not know how to love you back. Love is very patient and kind. Love is giving and not expecting Love is setting free and letting go and not possessing. Love honestly shares another’s success and mourns at the fall of an enemy, opponent or rival. Love is not praising your own self, and having confidence in your wisdom, but allowing others to appreciate you. The mirror reflects the mortal beauty, but people who are close reflect your immortal ugliness. Love is the highest virtue, strive for it. Blood is thicker than water, but, love is stronger than blood. Love has many enemies, rivals, opponents and dead against. Love fears nothing. Love does not demand its own way, but is open. Love is hardly noticing when others do you wrong. When you love someone, you will at all times be honest, truthful and belie...

THE BEAUTY OF TRAFFIC IN GHANA

By
Image
beauty of the night view The dread of some Ghanaians to and from work is to enter a long queue of vehicles on the road. A journey of 20 minutes becomes a journey of an hour. Have you ever calculated the time to use to and from work? ‘I have!’ I use an average of 2 hours to journey to and from work everyday; I can imagine yours is worse huh! Whilst someone journeys from Kumasi to Accra within 4 hours, you journey within Accra with same hours spent…such a pity! Anyways, enough of the sad traffic stories; let us talk about the beauty traffic situations bring to us in buses(trotro), taxis and private vehicles. RAINBOW COLOUR EFFECT: Like Colours beautify the canvas of the artist so does the array of vehicles in traffic create appealing sights in our eyes. Standing at Kwame Nkrumah overhead or any overhead in the city during rush hours at 7:30am and 4:30pm, you will see the red display of brakes lights, white and umber display of front lights and a mix of yel...

HOW TO BECOME A HUSBAND MATERIAL (WITH VIDEO)

By
Image
If you ask me , I would say that a husband is any man who is married to a woman(according to my religious beliefs). Growing up as a boy, marriage is something you don't think about; but as age catches upon you, and you experience the feeling called love, the boy in you gives way for the man and marriage becomes an important part of your thinking. Unlike women, men would want to marry because they want to impart their ideal selves to their children, influence and receive support from partners and basically, satisfy the sexual desire or need. However, becoming a husband doesn't happen with a big bang; one needs to go through several challenging phases to become 'mature' and ready for the life long 'course' called marriage. Age and experience may be an important indicator to any man when they want to marry,but it doesn't guarantee a successful marriage. For those of you out there who have plans of becoming husbands sooner or later, you ca...

The Creative Graduate Story

By

A young graduate of Ghana Institute of Journalism has braved the odds by turning used and rejected vehicle tyres and scraps into beautiful and useful furniture and a business venture. It had been four years since Jean-Marie Wellrich was gainfully employed; In 2018, she lost her job because she was pregnant and her employer, who was not enthused about the news, found a nice way to dismiss her. She sought for other jobs but without any success; as skillful and creative as she was, she took the opportunity to learn a craft.  Hitherto, she has two children and in addition to her mother and wife duties, she manages to recycle scraps into useful things. Presently, she has mastered the craft of turning scraps such as deserted vehicle tyres, wood, and metal into exotic furniture suitable for homes, offices and emporiums. She would occasionally pick-up the scraps at vulcanizer shops, carpentry shops and wayside, bring them home, clean and work on them.  She started by creating sofa ...
