We want to be the mouthpiece of the Local Community and we know that you have a lot to offer in as much as we are determined to providing you with the best of information. Feel free to contact us to provide you with the best information. Advertising with us Advertising is the key to making Your Community ADman a success. We strive to provide a service you are completely satisfied with. Our design & production team are on hand to make sure that your advert is designed and fully approved. The cost for design and approval is included in the price of the advert. We are confident that we can provide your business with the publicity it requires. Talk to us about your advertising requirements and find out how we can raise the profile of your business in the local community. Make your AD work We really do want your advert to work best for you and sometimes what you want isn’t what’s going to work so we’ve compiled a few hints and tips to get the best out of the space that you’ve bought within the magazine. Keep it clean If your ad is busy it doesn’t work as well. The most common mistake that the client makes is to try and cram too much content into their ad and it can be detrimental to its effectiveness.

1. The power of assumption: If your company’s name is John’s Fishmongers you don’t have to tell people again and again that you sell fish. They’ll know.

2. It’s all in the timing: Remember that the reader spends on average 2 seconds glancing over your ad so if it doesn’t get them in that time it fails to work. Bigger Is better but don’t cram it: The bigger your ad is the more impact it has. You’re much better not to fill it just because you have more space. No bad pics.... Fuzzy, lo-res, grainy or out-of-focus images are detrimental to your advert. Taking pics on your phone do not constitute a print quality image and can make your company look amateurish.

1. Let a pro do the work: The best thing to do is to get a professional to take them, not a pal with a good camera. It might cost a few quid but it pays off in the long run.

2. A means to an end: If you don’t have professional photographer at your disposal then stock imagery can be used. It’s not perfect but it’s better than mobile phone camera pics. Stockists have the stuff: If you’re the stockists of a certain product there’s a good chance that they will have good images that you can use. Just ask them. Meet us half way We don’t know your business so we need to get some level of input from you. Sometimes that’s done best by popping into the office to speak the designer or communicating through emails.

1. What tickles your fancy?: Have a look to see what other ads there are in our magazine that you like or have a peak on Google and let us know. 2. Help us to see: We may not know the industry that you work in so we don’t know the faux pas’ and clichés. Best to give us a heads up. We don’t know you: You have your own personal preferences for things like colour and imagery so don’t keep it to yourself. It saves everyone’s time if you just let us know. Thank You. -Editor, Moses Wilberforce Nti-Asare 3

ACCRA AT NIGHT

Introducing Accra Accra capital and largest city of Ghana, on the Gulf of Guinea (an arm of the Atlantic Ocean. The city lies partly on a cliff, 25 to 40 feet (8 to 12 metres) high, and spreads northward over the undulating Accra plains. The area’s susceptibility to faulting is the cause of occasional earthquakes. When the Portuguese first settled on the coast of what is now Ghana in 1482, the present site of Accra was occupied by several villages of the Ga tribe, ruled from a parent settlement, Ayaso (Ayawaso), located about 15 miles (24 km) north. Between 1650 and 1680 the Europeans built three fortified trading posts—Fort James (English), Fort Crevecoeur (Dutch), and Christiansborg Castle (Danish)—along the coast in the locality. While these European posts were being constructed, Ayaso was destroyed in a tribal war, and its population, together with that of the other major Ga towns on the Accra plains, was drawn to the coast by the prospect of profitable trade with the Europeans. As a result, three coastal villages—Osu (Christiansborg), Dutch Accra (later called Ussher Town), and James Town—sprang up,

becoming the nuclei of what was to be Accra. The name Accra itself is a corruption of the Akan word nkran. It refers to the black ants that abound in the vicinity. It came to be applied to the inhabitants of this part of the Accra plains. Accra grew into a prosperous trading centre. The Danes and the Dutch left the region in 1850 and 1872, respectively, and in 1877 Accra became the capital of the British Gold Cost colony. In 1898 a municipal council was formed to improve the town. By the 1930s Accra was systematically laid out. Accra is the administrative, economic, and educational centre of Ghana. The city contains the head offices of all of the large banks and trading firms, the insurance agencies, the electricity corporation, the general post office, the large open markets to which most of the food supply comes, and the Accra Central Library.

In addition to the forts, important buildings include the Korle Bu General Hospital, which also houses the Ghana Medical School; the Holy Spirit (Roman Catholic), Holy Trinity (Anglican), and Methodist cathedrals; the national archives; and the national museum. Also located in the city are the offices of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research and the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences. The University of Ghana (1948) is located at Legon, to the north. In addition, there are a football (soccer) stadium and a race course in the city. Independence Arch, in Black Star Square, is used for ceremonial parades. Accra has well-paved roads and a good municipal bus service. A transportation hub, the city is also connected by rail to Kumasi, in the interior, and to the port city of Tema, 17 miles (27 km) to the east, which has taken over Accra’s port function. Accra is the site of Kotoka International Airport. The city’s chief manufactures are processed food, lumber, and textiles. According to tripadvisors, the top visitor attractions in Accra are, Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, Bojo Beach, Sightseeing tours, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s Mausoleums, Kokrobite Beach, Walking tours, Private tours, National Museum of Ghana and Cathedral Church of the Most Holy Trinity

PARENTS’ CORNER

Accra Community Magazine

How can I help my child

prepare

for

the future? Parents have the most significant impact on their children's career choices. In one recent study by Ferris State University, 78% of high school students said their parents were their most important source of career guidance. Are you prepared to give your children the guidance they seek and the advice they need?

Apri l 2019

parents and their children provide the sense of security needed for exploration and risk taking. 2. Children's early experiences build the foundation for their beliefs about if and how much they control their own lives. Some researchers refer to parents as a child's career coach. Just like coaches for athletes or artists, there is no single "right" way to do it. However, there are some fundamental principles that you as a parent, or the significant adult in a child's life, will want to adopt:

What you do influences key aspects of your children's career beliefs, choices, and actions. Here is a partial list of career-related attributes that are born at home:



Help your children find the path that is right for them. Always avoid telling them what to do with their lives.  Create many opportunities for experimentation, research, and normal childhood experience. Do not expect or force decisions prematurely.  Work to help your children expand their options and keep doors of opportunity open. Help them tear down artificial limits or barriers. Parents nurture, motivate, clarify, connect, and challenge! This may sound a bit like walking a tight rope or balancing on a beam!

Even though parents are the single most influential factor in the career development of their children, most parents are not adequately informed about how to help. Parents need to know how to use career information, how to assist in exploration, how to support development of interests and abilities, and how to challenge the stereotypes facing their children. Career coaching does not involve a separate set of activities. It is Explore the roles you may play, woven into your other parental rehow your own career may impact sponsibilities.

BUSINESS BEAT Apri l 2019

THE UK’S EXIT FROM THE EU; HOW BENEFICIAL IS THIS TO THE AFRICAN MARKET? In a world where natural resources are sparsely and uniquely distributed among nations/regions, no state can ever make claim to or boost of self-sufficiency. However, the needs of a nation beyond its own provisions are quenched and catered for simply through international trade and aids. Trade can thus exist between two or more countries with good international relationship. The United Kingdom and Africa have had a great relationship since antiquity and this peaceful relationship has continued for years now and we hope to see more great connections between these two in coming years. The relationship between the UK and Africa however can be attributed to the commonness in language (English), some aspect of similarities and connection in terms of culture (Basically food, dress sense, wedding etc), law, government structure and even trade. Notably, there exist strong relationship between the UK and South Africa given the above mentioned similarities’ and additionally, it is speculated that a section of South Africans have British descents and vice versa made possible through colonization. The writer believes there could be a highly strengthened relationship with the exit of the UK from the EU (Brexit) and this is the time Africa needs to be pragmatic in taking advantage of the market of the UK after Brexit. Many sceptics have attributed the exit of the UK from the EU to maintaining its sovereignty, security, finances etc. Others have attributed the move to the need to be recognised as a super power nation without being limited by the rules and regulations underlying being a member of the EU. Whilst these speculations among others could be true, I personally see Africa to be at an advantageous position in Brexit. Why so? There has been many speculations regarding the UK eyeing Africa to fill the BREXIT trade gap but it will also suffice for this article to provide some benefits the UK has/had as a member of the EU. The main benefit is the trading in the European single market which is the largest international single market in the world; so an exit of the UK from the EU is likely to affect its trade (depending on how the ongoing arrangement to secure a trade deal between UK and EU works out). Nonetheless, as part of the EU, the UK enjoyed removal of trade barriers in trading with other member nations. There exist/ed greater competition in services which gave room to always have the best of service there is. The EU also helped to prevent any practices haven to do with monopolies etc. Additionally, the EU among several other benefits facilitated greater efficiency in terms of doing business in other member states. With the BREXIT; with or without the ongoing trade deal/negotiations, it suffices to conclude that, the UK won’t benefit in totality from the European single market as they used to in past years. Now, it is scheduled for the UK to exit the EU on March 29th 2019 and my question is ‘‘what is Africa doing as a continent to take advantage to strengthen its market internationally at the expense of UK and currently Asia alike?’’. With such exit, the UK would need a substitute to fill the gap in terms of trade. Asia, notably China, Korea, and Japan have made Africa their core trading point in recent years. With a wide range of speculations of UK making Africa its bedrock in terms of trade, I believe this is the time African leaders take a pragmatic step in fostering economic development and growth by revisiting past trade deals or enter into new more beneficial trade negotiations with the UK and Asia that has the tendency to build a rigorous African market with favourable international market price for it’s exports. African leaders can do so by having the will power to set goals; in such new markets, we must have set of goals that we aim to achieve in order not to deviate from it in subsequent trade deals. We can determine the goods/services which are needed and necessary to enter or leave Africa as well (calling the shots) . Africa must also do lot of market research to understand the products of its new partner if it wouldn’t conflict or compete with its local infant industries. Africa must ensure that its goods/services that enter UK or Asia are given good market prices to boost the profit of local producers and agriculture. In Africa, we have local car manufacturers like the Kantanka Autombile (located in Ghana), Kiira Motors Corperation (Uganda), Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company (Nigeria) and so on; Africa can also strike trade deals with Asia or UK to allow these cars have showrooms overseas to be showcased to encourage necessary export to increase foreign reserves and increase the market base of these automobile companies. As a continent, we must improve our market for goods/services, tourism and so on with the influx of Asia and speculatively UK alike. In international trade, it entirely must be a win-win situation and it’s about time. -Emmanuel De-Graft Quarshie 12 To advertise call 0573568118 or Email thecommunityadman@gmail.com Read online https://www.issuu.com/communityadman
