Masha Allah they all are hardworkers may Allah bless their hands👏

We deserve more than this. Each bale represents jobs lost by our seamstresses, tailors, textile industries. Truly we deserve more than this.

My dad (Sean Murray) was a building construction teacher (and the only Irishman!) in Accra, in the mid 60's. I remember our family taking a BOAC VC-10 from Heathrow just to see him. There was no butter, so we used treacle or Golden Syrup. A supply ship would arrive once a month. I remember 'shopping' at a grocery store with, literally, semi bare shelves. We used 'Nestle dried milk' for tea or in our cornflakes (not Kellogs). I'd use my dad's SW radio to get the BBC world service or, on occasion, radio Australia.
He died in 2014 at 91:

Anybody recognize him?

I was last in Ghana in 2012. Believe me it has changed. You can't tell Accra from any American city. Of course it still has poverty but consumer goods are there in abundance, and it has several shopping malls stocked to the brim with whatever you need. You should see the houses of some rich Africans. The Ghana you knew is not the Ghana I know.

This is capitalism African style and it seems to be working. I love it. It's funny listening to some of the vendors talking about losing money. They couldn't stay there very long if they were losing money.

[@yenara_eduafrique]

Our hearts broke over the kayaya getting up and 3am just to earn enough for food! What a terrible existence. They should be able to earn enough for more than a day 😢

[@Lilliz91]

Edu Afrique that’s how it improves though. Africa is going through their own industrial period which first world countries already went through Lin time ago. It’s necessary and if skipped it tends to do more bad than good.
