🇬🇭💔 It's truly disheartening to see international brands we've grown to love gradually leave Ghana. Over the last two years, Ghana has witnessed a worrying trend of global companies closing their doors and stepping away from the Ghanaian market. This isn't just about losing favorite shopping spots or brand options; it's a reflection of deeper economic and operational challenges that need addressing. Why are they leaving? The reasons range from high operational costs and unstable economic conditions to intense competition from local brands that better understand our unique needs. We can't ignore the impact of regulatory complexities and infrastructural gaps that make conducting business here in Ghana more challenging. But it's not enough to just know the problems; we need solutions. We must call for enhanced economic stability and regulatory reforms that make doing business in Ghana not only viable but also profitable. Improved infrastructure, like better roads and stronger digital connectivity, could significantly reduce operational hurdles. Moreover, offering incentives and fostering partnerships between global and local businesses could create a thriving ecosystem beneficial to all. Let's voice these needs! Let's urge our leaders and decision-makers to take decisive steps to make Ghana a haven for businesses once again. We deserve a thriving economy that attracts and retains the best in the world. 🌍✨ #GhanaBusiness #EconomicGrowth #GlobalBrandsInGhana

The spaza economy must be governed by bylaws that empower South Africans by birth to operate these shops. Historically, spaza shops have nurtured future doctors, engineers, and scientists. The billions generated by spaza shops should circulate within our communities. In recent months, alarming reports have emerged regarding the tragic deaths of schoolchildren in South Africa due to consuming unsafe chips and sweets. This crisis demands immediate action from government authorities to eradicate spaza shops selling expired and harmful food products. We urge the Department of Home Affairs and law enforcement to rigorously inspect the business permits and immigration documents of foreign operators. Foreigners must enter our country legally, respecting our laws. Our young people—future leaders, engineers, doctors, and professionals—are at risk. Let us act decisively to safeguard their future and strengthen our economy. #ProtectOurYouth #SafeFood #SpazaEconomy #ActNow

Celebrating 30 Years of Ghana's Fourth Republic: The Power of an Open Parliament for National Development As Ghana’s Parliament celebrates three decades of the Fourth Republican Constitution, it’s a timely moment to reflect on the impact of open, transparent governance on national growth and the prosperity of its citizens. An open parliament not only ensures accountability but fosters dialogue and collaboration across sectors, fueling innovative solutions for our country’s challenges. At Zayn Organic Cosmetics Industry Limited, we are deeply committed to addressing post-harvest losses in Ghana, particularly in the tomato farming sector, by converting surplus tomatoes into sustainable beauty and skincare products. This mission aligns with the broader national goal of creating local employment, especially for young people in tomato-growing regions, thereby helping to curb the illegal migration crisis across the Sahara desert. By encouraging public-private partnerships and promoting policies that support local enterprises, an open parliament paves the way for sustainable job creation. Together, we can drive positive change for Ghana’s youth and secure a future where they thrive within our borders. #GhanaParliament #NationalDevelopment #ZaynOrganicCosmetics #YouthEmpowerment #SustainableJobs

A juice business is one of the common businesses among the Indonesian SMEs. The 500m road across my street has close to 30 juicing businesses like this lady. This is an old business in Indonesia and over time, different companies have manufactured various juicer machines to allow the business owners to expand product ranges and optimize operational efficiency. Sometime ago, I was thinking of introducing one of the machines to Nigeria but I thought Nigerians wouldn't be interested. Seeing this lady has changed my thoughts and I will be coming home with the Indonesian juicer machine by September in sha Allah. Just imigine how the protest would affect the business of this lady. She is making her cool money on the street of Abuja where Sowore Omoyele's boys are complaining.Yeah, there is hunger in Nigeria but if you know what you are doing, you will be fed. Just like this lady. In Indonesia, SMEs make up 97% of all enterprises, employ 69% of the workforce, and bring 40% of GDP value across the region while 98% of the SMEs comprised of micro-enterprises..Just imigine how we dey survive in Indonesia..🤔.. Bro, E no dey easy at all. We can do better in Nigeria, we just need to change our mindset both the government and the people. #GodBlessNigeria #MayTinubuSucceed
