Start a business today

*SALARY is a lifetime disappointment*.

The poorest group of people in the world are Salary earners. They live in a vicious cycle of poverty. Salary is continuously being awaited every month and any slight delay brings about heartbreaking anxiety and disappointment.

Salary alone cannot solve your money problems. You need a Secondary Source of income to balance.

Salary is the MEDICINE for managing POVERTY, it doesn't CURE it. Only your BUSINESS or INVESTMENT Cures Poverty

I therefore urge all of us who scavenge for white collar jobs for Salary - to be  FINANCIALLY INTELLIGENT and delve into entrepreneurship.
*THINK ABOUT IT!!!*
If u are Govt worker check this out. Divide ur salary by 30(i.e. days in the month).
E.g *GH¢900÷30= GH¢30* Less than amount being gained by an average hawker in the city.

*GH¢1000÷30= GH¢33.33* Less than the amount earn daily by an average driver in the city and some villages.
 *1500 ÷30= gh¢50*  Less than the daily amount earn by a trotro, taxi, and a tipper car driver.
And when there is an issue in the family that requires financial assistance, the driver, hawkers and the rest are looking   up to u.

If u are a *NATIONAL SERVICE PERSONNEL*  u don't need to be told.
*GH¢350÷30 = GH¢12* I hope u know the pure water seller makes enough money than u each day?

*GH¢300÷30 =GH¢10* The errand boy at Suame Magazine (fitting shop) is earning better than u.

We are mostly deceived by the apparent attractive name of the amount earn at the end of the month without breaking it down to daily earnings.
*Dear, start a business now*

Deliberate downgrade of Tamale Technical University

Tamale Technical University 'downgraded'; staff, SRC angry

3news.com

Sep 12, 2017 6:13 PM

An Executive Order by former President John Mahama, promoting Tamale Polytechnic into a technical university in 2016 has been reversed by the government, the school claimed.

This has incurred the displeasure of the Technical University Teachers’ Association of Ghana (TUTAG), Tamale Chapter, Technical University Administrators’ Association of Ghana (TUAAG), Tamale Chapter, Technical University Workers Association of Ghana (TUWAG), Tamale Chapter, Alumni Association, and the SRC leadership.

A press statement endorsed by the five bodies on Tuesday, “observed with grave concern that the current government has cleverly taken a covert step to downgrade Tamale Technical University back to a polytechnic by inaugurating its Council as a Polytechnic Governing Council.”

The school was promoted with seven other polytechnics last year but  when the substantive Minister of Education inaugurated some Governing Councils in line with the Technical Universities Act 922 (2016), the Tamale Technical University was left out.

The school was excluded, they claimed, the minister explained that the “Tamale Technical University only received an “Executive Order” by the previous government and as such could not be recognized as a Technical University since it was not part of the schedule of Technical Universities in Act 922 (2016).”

The Executive Order, they argued, makes the conversion legally binding for the institution to  be effectively recognized as a Technical University.

“The university therefore needs its substantive Governing Council to function whether it is part of the schedule of the Technical Universities Act 922 (2016) or not,” the statement demanded.

The minister had indicated that the Tamale Technical University’s Council, together with Cape Coast Technical University (which was upgraded on Executive Order), Wa and Bolga Polytechnics respectively will be constituted as Polytechnic Councils until a Legislative Instrument (LI)  is sent to Parliament for a period of 21 days.

“Mr. Minister, is it the responsibility of the University or your Ministry to send the LI to parliament?,” they asked, “Mr. Minister, if it is the responsibility of the Ministry to do so, and we all know it is. you have been in charge of the Ministry for nine (9) good months, why didn’t you table the said LI in Parliament for the past nine months?”

The group alleged, “It is undoubtedly a contemptuous attempt to downgrade the University to a polytechnic.  As a matter of fact, this is a disparaging attempt to frustrate the efforts of the present and past government to provide Technical University Education for the people of Northern Region.”

The five bodies who issued the statement have threatened to boycott the inauguration of the University Council as a Polytechnic Council scheduled for this week.

They therefore insisted that the Tamale Technical University Council should be inaugurated as a Technical University Council by Friday September 15, 2017, else the “government should have itself to blame for any undesirable situations that would occur as a result”

Abubakari Sadiq — September 10, 2017

    

2017 VGMA New Artist of the year, Ahmed Mujahid Bello, with stage name Fancy Gadam yesterday thrilled fans at his Sallah Fest program with support from multiple award winning rapper Sarkodie.

The Tamale Sports Stadium was full to capacity as Fancy Gadam and Sarkodie performed their hit song to the amazement of all gathered.

Sarkodie as the guest artist after mounting the stage could not hide his excitement after seeing the stadium full to capacity with enthused fans of him and Fancy Gadam in the northern region.

The Multiple award winning Rapper after getting the fans on their feet with his performance introduced Fancy Gadam and called him the northern king of music.  The music duo performed their hit collaboration song ‘Total Cheat’ repeatedly which was sung together with the over 20,000 fans.

The VGMA New Artist of the year, Fancy Gadam on his part expressed his appreciation to his fans and the entire northern region for turning out in their numbers to support his concert.

“It’s today I really know my people in the north really loves me, I never expected this massive attendance, am grateful”, Fancy told the excited crowd.

The Gadam Nation X Sark Nation Sallah Fest can be described as one of the most successful and attended event in Ghana. A record was yesterday set and until is broken, Fancy Gadam can still portray himself as the ruler of northern music soon to take over Ghana.

 

The event also witnessed performances from northern highlife legend, Abu Sadiq, Nandos, S.K.Y De Tamale Boy, Attacker and Dabba Lamalee among others.
