Eastern Ghana that would be "Yevu" they were calling - white man. In western Ghana it's usually "Oburoni" or "Broni" - foreigner .

 

I spent three years in Takoradi.

When I was there the term obruni was used a lot when I travelled, but other regional languages were different, I travelled to assess student teachers as part of my role.

''Hey you'' was a way of catching my attention when in the market [it happened once every three/four days and if you missed it you either went to Bawku or went hungry] in Pusiga, I spent two years there at the teacher training college as a VSO volunteer.

Had a friend know as Takoradi XXXX...he had some good stuff back then.

Hmm…

”We have fought hard for our right to homeschool the children,” one post from December reads. “Without homeschooling the children, our children are left defenseless to the schools and the Gay Afro Zionist scum that run them.”

I wonder if a certain politician knows about this “network”? They may have advice on which books to ban…

(sarcasm alert)

Sorry. Mis quoted you there. I've had some posts deleted and couldbt work out what was happening. I mentioned pubs and enjoyment but can't find my posts now.

Ok. I’ll edit my post.

I said nothing about pissing away money. I said having fun. 

 

If you would care to read my posts that followed you may have half a chance of keeping up and understanding the examples used.

What are you rambling on about?
 

Where did I quote you?

Please do try to keep up on who is being quoted, then you won’t make errors such as this. 

Oh and I stand by my response to the post I quoted.

An article based on a poll with no demographics. No hint of how many people polled either.

 

I've just got back from the pub. 100% of people having fun, drinking and spending money. None cold and none hungry. Not once did I hear anything about the economy or hardship. 

Now could that be because those suffering the effects of the current cost of living crisis have more urgent concerns than pissing away what little they do have on alcohol?

As someone who taught online during the lockdown, I will have to respectfully disagree.  Not saying that online is as good as in-class, but it does provide a window into what the teachers are teaching, and how they teach it, as well as the materials they choose.

As someone who taught online for nearly two years at an international school I will have to disagree with you here.
 

The content I grant will be mostly the same but the materials used and how we taught were very, very different.

And the reason this protection is needed is that some teachers are not only supplying it, but pushing on the students.

 

This has nothing to do with "making people dumb".

 

Children may turn out to be gay, and possibly even trans, and that's fine, but it's something they need to deal with individually, rather than trying to change every student.

Please provide credible links proving those claims.

Remember saying ''google it'' is trolling according to forum rules.

The alternate reality is some people claiming that all books have been banned 

Who has claimed that?

Why this obsession about who opened the door, considering the evidence already accumulated?

Because it’s all the conspiracy theorists have got left to cling on to.

"Opinion: The police who killed Tyre Nichols were Black. But they might still have been driven by racism"

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/01/27/opinions/tyre-nichols-memphis-police-department-jones/index.html

 

The article makes literally no sense whatsoever, but clearly they wanted to blame this on racism and moved mountains to do so. Never let facts get in the way of a beneficial political narrative.

The article makes perfect sense. 
 

Also it does not call the officers involved racists.

Mr Sharpton is accusing the Police officers of being racists , saying they wouldn't have done what they did had the person been White 

 

 

Mr Sharpton also said he believes the outcome would have been different if the alleged victim in the incident was white.

"I do not believe these five black police officers would have done this had he been a young white man," he said.

Read the OP several times and at no point does he accuse the officers involved of being racists.

They started by giving things like helmets, but are now up to battle tanks and possibly F16s. Sure seems like trying to escalate it into a NATO conflict.

Nonsense. . 

Just now, puchooay said:

Indeed, you are correct.

 

However, those joining in should keep up with the conversation.

They have done so. 

Just now, puchooay said:

You claimed they are struggling. Not me.

Who did I claim was struggling precisely?

I've already posted my personal information. That was yo compare with thr professionals you spoke about 

 

You're clutching at straws and refusing to back your original comment. Failing to answer straight questions with straight answers.

 

You and one other poster have a habit of doing this when on the back foot.

 

Your refusal to answer speaks loud and is an answer in itself. Thanks for that.

 

A: I did answer your question.
 

B: I didn’t ask for your personal information, I asked for precise and accurate information on those you claim are struggling despite allegedly earning more than you. 
 

C I have not mentioned any professions in any of my posts.
