The 70s and 80s, Africa was filled with the men you’re describing. They did nothing but run their nation to the ground. A system which has no checks on the powers of its leaders will fail in one way or the other.
Also i believe protests don’t really work in Africa. Our governments are too wicked for that. Strikes are the best. Shit everything down. Let’s see how long they can hold on when everything comes crashing down.
I buy new phone from you norr the phone go off. I dey ask you sup you say human beings dey sleep them no dey wake up how much more machine.what dey wrong some of you people?
Nice framing. You leave out the fact that the indigenous community who fished and sold there for over two centuries were pushed out and this fishing harbour will mainly benefit huge fishing trawlers owned by foreign nationals.
we demand patriotism from the poor and middle class who contribute the most to the running of the state and yet reap the least benefits. go and ask patriotism from elected officials who are paid huge salaries + all sorts of allowances and that’s besides their ex gratia.
Over 4,000 nurses and midwives have left for greener pastures abroad since February this year over poor conditions of service.
Shouldn't the healthcare workers be a bit more patriotic?

what do you have to say!
If SSNIT is to drop this, the next set of strikes should be targeted at:
1. Stopping the theft and returning all state lands
2. Retrieving stolen Covid funds and jailing the criminals
3. An ACT of Parliament stopping all public servants and PEP from buying state assets.

The painful part of what I saw today is there’s a community next to the river and that’s their source of water for everything.
How different is this from walking to their community and gunning them all down?
university students got abused in the 70s and 80s standing up to military dictatorship because they wanted their kids to have a better nation. today those kids are online justifying and laughing to military men abusing civilians.
Ghanaian elites are so fixated on weird recognitions. Change the name of a University to accomplish what exactly? Why don’t you build something for the university and name it after him or institute a scholarship in his name?
People don’t understand the extent to which corruption affects and destroys society that’s why. They can’t see the direct link between one politician stealing millions of the state’s money and their mum dying at the hospital because of no bed space.
Maybe I’m wicked but the way you guys feel we should deal cordially with corrupt politicians bothers me a lot. Too much pampering for people who over the years have shown no mercy and have disgracefully stolen from our country?
Ghanaian labour unions are sleeping because their leaders are mostly party persons. The establishment has bought the loyalty of so many people. TUC says they can’t see what’s happening in the country, alright👍🏾

It is interesting how people forget that, as Ghanaians, our overarching consanguinity is in our nationhood - not limited to nuclear blood ties. When a person gets elected as President, he is father of the nation, & all become children with equal legitimate rights/responsibilities
They dip their hand into national coffers every year in the name of planting 10 million trees. Ghana is the only place trees are planted every year but you can’t see them.
We have less trees in Accra than we did some 8-10 years ago. Aburi mountain is gradually losing its vegetation, it’s almost a concrete jungle. This heat we’re experiencing in Accra is not surprising.
We have lost count of the number of corruption cases that have rocked the govenment of

He also asserted that Kwame Nkrumah changed the
Acknowledge your privilege and be in your bubble that’s fine. But to laugh under a tweet which said we should pray for opportunities and she didn’t chose her father? In times like this? Who chose their parent? You folks should learn tact. It’s very important.
The darkness in the hearts of today’s youth is extremely dangerous and horrifying. A man dies such a painful death and the best you can do is mock him? All because of E-levy and some other government policies? What’s even your guarantee that you’ll live to be 45?
Why lie? That’s not Kotoka. And the day Nkrumah left Ghana, Kotoka wasn’t in Accra. He was in Kumasi, where he was the Commander of the then 2nd Brigade, preparing to bring his troops to Accra to overthrow the government.
This is General E K Kotoka smiling with President Nkrumah the day he travelled to Hanoi, North Vietnam. He was one of his trusted officers. The following day, he and some military officers overthrew Nkrumah's govt.

Today, Ghana’s Parliament said Majoritarianism is Democracy. Many are excited because they’re on the side of the majority today. But remember that majorities are never permanent. They change depending on the issue and the day you fall in the minority, heaven be your help!
The state has refused to implement the recommendations of the NRC report. Keep the military out of internal security. We have so many police officers. Why can’t we deploy them?
Tight security is in place at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi as the Akwasidae Festival prepares to begin, with personnel from the Ghana Police Service and Ghana Armed Forces deployed to ensure a peaceful and orderly celebration.

Civil disobedience is as old as man! There are many ways to do this. If the streets are for them, so be it! We will honk our cars whenever we pass by the Jubilee house, we will boo when they are announced at events and we will walk out when they come to our campuses! DON'T STOP!
Ken Ofori Atta sit every money top!! If agencies and ministries come before parliament, many of them have not received what was approved by parliament. He crippled the MMDs, NHIA, and many others because he failed to release funds. What the hell did he do with the money?
Collective punishment is a war crime btw.
The practice where Ghanaian law enforcement use brutality instead of intelligence to weed out suspects must stop.
You can’t kidnap and terrorise civilians in the name of security. This is unacceptable!

We missed the boat with the current administration. But we will be sure to be on board for the next!
During Rawlings’ trial for his failed mutiny in May ‘79,Gen Obasanjo wrote a letter to Gen Akufo to discontinue the trial and kill Rawlings, fellow mutineers and close friends of Rawlings. He feared that Rawlings’ attempt will inspire junior soldiers in Nigeria.
members of the ruling elite acting like they’re common floor members. you’ve been in the corridors of power for minimum 15 years. you’re part of the problem.
I was in Hamburg. I saw the same sun shining over us. I saw same clouds gazing at us and same greenery all over. Difference was that I saw better roads, structures etc. I saw law’s working and more compliance by the people, etc.
You are not fooling anyone Alan. You played a huge part in the 30 years of mess you complain about. A founder of one of the parties. And you served at least 8 years as a cabinet minister. Give us a break!
Ghana doesn’t have the fiscal space to pay university fees for even a semester. The NDC should be serious. They should learn from the mistakes of this government and not dig a deeper hole for the poor and middle class to bury themselves in.
Again keep your eyes on Parliament. This is the type of games they play there which has ensured 30 years of working class suffering. Is Kyei-Mensa for his constituents or the interests of the executive and its agencies?

#OccupyJulorbiHouse
didn’t get even a footnote but see what we have here. The establishment can’t allow young working class people to receive attention from the populace. They’ll be more receptive of anti-government protests than one against state capture.
There is no faux neutrality here. We are calling out state capture! We are not only calling out the government, we are calling all other beneficiaries of 30 years of looting and oppression. Why focus on one of the four horsemen of our apocalypse?
Unfortunately I have a problem with the growing narrative we need to drag the NDC too. It creates an impression of faux neutrality and political correctness.
Any switch to an NDC dragging is equivalent to giving this government who should be fixing things a get out of jail card.
Though I agree with him in principle that more people must be celebrated in the struggle, I know what he means when he says ‘founders’. It acknowledges only the elites and not the market women, railway workers, students who were forefront in the fight against colonial oppression.
Kow Essuman is an establishment baby. I don’t expect anything else from him. Being condescending is usually second nature for them. It’s the NPP folks who back him up I feel for. Power is transient. And you’ll soon feel the full effect of the government’s mismanagement.

In April 2002, the Israeli Apartheid forces killed Kamal Zghair in his wheelchair and then ran him over with their tanks. He had a white flag tied on his wheelchair. This happened in the Jenin, West Bank.
The ‘founders’ conversation has mostly been a d*ck-measuring contest for the elites. It is not about history. I’ve never heard them talk about the contribution of the market women or the dismissed students of Augustines & Mfantsipim. The same old tail coat powerful men.

The issue here is CAMPAIGN FINANCING. The person can be a driver or the richest person in Ghana and we must still be concerned how their campaign is being funded. I stopped tweeting about campaign finance because I started sounding like a broken record.
Philanthropy doesn’t augment government effort in this country, rather it has become a needed substitute for their sheer wickedness and incompetence.

The Turkish earthquake was devastating because the government for years had allowed many buildings to come up without meeting structural integrity standards. If you’ve lived in Accra long enough, you know what that means. Government must start from there.
