I Waited for More Than Two Hours to Just Buy A Bread At the Bakery Inside Achimota Retail Center & They Say It's Normal

the Bakery Inside Achimota Retail Center

From CustomerDiscuss.Com
The one ingredient every successful bakery and any other business as a matter of fact needs is customers. I might not know much but I know happy customers become repeat customers.
It is becoming a common norm in Ghana to see most business owners putting all their efforts into attracting customers but they hardly do anything to retain them. Their actions and inactions most of the time result in them losing touch with their customers.
The Bakery, a shop located inside the Achimota Retail Center, is the latest to join in the club of businesses who don’t really give a hoot about customer service because they think they will always have people patronising their products.
Imagine the stress of being in a queue for over an hour and half just to be able to buy a loaf of bread on a number of occasions. That is exactly what Owusu says he went through at the bakery when he went to buy a loaf of bread for himself and his family.

Bishop Obinim and the Many Sakawa Boys in Ghana Are Extensively Greedy

Sakawa Boy

Bishop Obinim and the many Sakawa boys are too greedy; Ghanaians are suffering and they watch on in excitement when they could easily help per what some people believe about them.
I have heard a lot of people say some Sakawa boys have snakes that vomit money for them—sincerely, these people believe this. Bishop Obinim also claims he can visit banks in spirit and steal the deposited cash to re-distribute to his followers.
By reasonable extension, Obinim can visit the world bank in spirit and do the same—but this time, bring the cash to the government of Ghana.
So yesterday, I told one of my friends that, such nonsense is the reason why Ghana is crawling. If any human being believes in a talking snake, then I somewhat understand why the same person would believe in a money vomiting snake too.
However, if this is for real; then why don’t President Mahama ask these Sakawa boys to bring their snakes to the bank of Ghana so they would vomit as much money as we need, instead of going to the Chinese and others to look for loans with unfavourable terms.

Loud mouth Afia Schwarzenegger seems to have lost her spot on OKAY FM—following a suspension which seems to be turning into a non-return, perhaps, a dismissal.
Following Afia Schwarzenegger and Ken Agyepong’s brouhaha, the radio presenter who hosts the ‘Ye Wo Krom’ show on OKAY Fm was slapped with a mild suspension, that lasted for a few days.
And then she returned to say, she would apologize to her dog instead of Ken Agyepong—cementing this gross disrespect with another video in which she insulted Bisho Obinim’s mother’s womanhood.
Since that video went viral on social media, Afia Schwarzenegger’s ‘Ye Wo Krom’ show has been taken off air—and the commercials have stopped playing.
