Ghana

[Simian]

Gentlemen,

To the best of my knowledge and search abilities, there has never been a ebola outbreak in Ghana. That said:

1. there is a Red Alert issued: http://saharareporters.com/2014/08/1...hana-red-alert.

2. Students at some summer university courses were sent home 2 weeks ago.

3. Accra Radio Joy FM announced on the 8th of August that there is an American who died at a hospital in Accra with ebola symptoms.

4. The US has committed to help Ghana in case of Ebola spread (google it).

5. Ghana Medical Group has briefed the Parliament on Ebola preparations.

That's all I know.

There is currently no Ebola in Ghana now. The nearest cases are at least two countries away.

The Red Alert is dated August 11. To put it in context, Ireland had a suspected case of Ebola since then, about a week ago, that turned out not to be Ebola. So should everyone stay away from Ireland?

The American who died in Ghana did not die of Ebola but of another illness with similar symptoms. The trouble is that many illness (including Malaria) are similar in symptoms to Ebola. Just because someone has "Ebola symptoms" means nothing.

Ghana has an international standard lab for testing suspected Ebola cases (this lab is of WHO standard).

Every country with a government and a few people in key positions with brains will have briefings and strategy discussions about Ebola outbreak. Countries like the UK have had such discussions. I would guess that all European countries have had such discussion as have many African countries.

Currently, there are no flights from Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea. I know quite a few people who are stranded as a result.

You are probably as safe in Ghana as in any African country. By the way the second most recent outbreak (a different version of Ebola virus) was in DRC. Previous to the West African outbreak was in Uganda in 2012.

Just to mix it up, there is currently a cholera outbreak in Accra. Bet you did not hear about that. But very few foreigners are affected because foreigners do not eat street or market food and are unlikely to be exposed to it.

Not in Accra at the moment and can't wait for a return trip. Probably as a tourist in the autumn.

Nearly all of the honeys I met earlier this year keep in touch. You guessed it. Asking for money.

The more enterprising send me lots of selfies showing me what I am missing.

These are two sets of selfies from my long-legged lusty Liberian lady friends in Accra. Enjoy.

I have heard that the Nigerian authorities have forbidden Bush meat so as to prevent transmission of Ebola from wild animals (chimps, bats) to humans. But I have not heard that all food stalls have been abolished. This would not make sense.

The food stalls are still going on the roads around Accra and presumably the rest of the country. That is probably because there is no Ebola currently in the country.

I don't use the nightclubs of Accra but my usual providers have not changed their behaviour. I would be very surprised if there is any change in the nightclubs. I have noticed that the SWs around the Togo Embassy circle had disappeared last weekend but that may be because of a local crackdown rather than any Ebola fear or policy.

Given that Ebola can go anywhere a plane can go, it could be in your backyard any time soon. So far, in Ghana there have been no Ebola reported in the country or even in an immediate neighbouring country.

So, we have just to hope in a Christmas miracle, let's say that one more time we are expecting Messiah!

How is it going in the temples of mongering such as Jocker's, Makumba, Waikiki, Vienna, . Do people still approach each other or they just chat via Bluetooth?

Somebody has told me that in Nigeria authorities have forbidden food stalls on roads (such as suyia, kebab, rice, coconuts, yam, mais) and also hawkers are not allowed to sell chopping goods. How is it in our beloved GH?

Pretty tricky and unpredictable. Ebola can be transmitted with any kind of bodily fluid. So a kiss or any genitalia liquids included. http://www.who.int/csr/disease/ebola/faq-ebola/en/.

If you have a look at all Ebola outbreaks, you will see that most of them have been in Congo and to the best of my search abilities, there has never ever been an ebola case in Ghana. And people tend to be. 'oblivious' to whatever is away from home because it doesn't touch their daily reality. AIDS has long been in Africa- but how many women and men are still ok to have sex without a condom?

That said, the local people I know in Freetown (Sierra Leone) go on with their lives. 'business as usual'. But if you look the new Ebola cases per week, it seems that SL seems to be stabilizing and Liberia is loosing the game. Who knows. Based on previews statistics, it seems that an ebola outbreak has a 6 months "life" after it's peak. So in theory it could last till Christmas.

It would be interesting for us as members of this forum, to know about the influence of the outbreak of Ebola in Western Africa on human relationship and specially how it.

Is affecting our sport.

Are girls scary? Are mongers scary? Do girls still accept proposals and do men do proposals?

Let us know, please!

1. Thanks Shady- I am more suitable and interested in IT or Gaming industries.

2. Mary Mensah (or Nana Esi).

I found her on Tagged. Talked on Skype and Yahoo Messenger. Everything ok. She will do 'everything' with me and every time I talk to her she gets more and more gloomy about her daily misfortunes. Today she sent photos of her dry dirty messy room and all the water around her house. Showing everything been damage from 1 feet rain water. But:

-there is nothing wet in her room; yes pathetic and dirty but everything is dry.

-there are 12 pictures with in total 3 different day stamps all spread over the e last months.

-of course (that's all from today's rain- it is not raining in Accra today.

And of course she asks for money and gets angry with me that I am not willing to help.

3 different time stamps on the photos? And easy to check that there was no rain today?

Are scammers getting completely incompetent or there are people who really fall for anything?

Enjoy your day!

I am very interested in find a job (permanent or contract) in Africa, ideally in Ghana, or Uganda, or Kenya, with an 'expat salary'. Any suggestion about where to look (websites, executive search firms etc) would be greatly appreciated. My background in in IT and Operations (20+ years experience).

I know that this might not be the right place to ask, but I have always viewed this forum as a community. No need to post publicly. You could always PM me.

Thanks a lot,

Hi,

For those interested, I found this in the tripadvisor website: http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic...***_Accra.html.

The Area (Lapaz) is very safe and is almost a 24 x7 area.

Good Luck.

Sorry but it came too my mind after I sent the previous post. Tango besides been a very utilized video chat mobile application in Ghana, it also has the option to search people nearby. And most girls are open to chat with you. So, maybe just a new / alternative way to meet women in Ghana.

Just a suggestion.

A few comments. Internet connection (see previous post of mine from almost a year ago) is usually wireless and you buy credit to charge your internet dongle. There are no disconnection notices. Hotels to the best of my experience do not ask for prepayment before you arrive; in worst case you can always book a hotel via the internet. In my last trip, I had someone asking me 2000 US $ to sleep with me and another girl! No, I didn't give her the money. BTW. Women come with very creative ways to ask money. And what is interesting when you chat with them in whatsapp or viber or Line, they have guy pictures (yes, cybercafes are full of guys pretending to be women and when there is a video chat they put a girlfriend to talk to you). Best way to make sure you talk with someone is via Tango.

(. I want the money before you come no money no seeing me and that will mean that you don't trust me.

Do you think am here to take money from people and run away then you are wrong because am not a woman who is after money here.).

Sunday, phoned some of my tagged, hi5 contacts, but felt tired to hook up with them and not to be sure who will really show up. Funny photos on web side, 3 girls thought me to be stupid and asked to send money to make Hotel reservation, one said, I should pay her internet, crap.

I was actually with Miss Chimene yesterday. What a trip. Met her on Badoo. We chatted back and forth for a couple of days and then met at the mall.

Checked out Miss Chimene on Baboo, sorry to say but she looks like a pro.
