@JustKobby98 @Gen_Buhari_ NDC will pay for their sins for misleading Ghanaians. He will continue to expose NDC everyday until Ghanaians realise that they have indeed sold their colour TV for black and white.

It is illogical to scrap the teacher trainee allowance while covering the fees of university students. Teacher training allowance is to motivate prospective teachers to pursue the needed training tailor for our basic schools. Why would you pay University first year fees and ignore trainies who are needed badly in our basic schools?

@musqoo_official So JM knows this and he told us that he's able to reduce the fuel prices!? Ofuiii, what we know is Mahama and NDC. They should reduce it. We didn't ask them to come for power. Stupid people

@MKDankwah @GInfoanalytics Mussa whom are you deceiving? You have started your agenda settings again. All of sudden people can now project into the future and able to know that in the next 12 months their lives will improve. This is not only dishonest but an attempt to whitewash reality. Is optimism an indicator to measure people's improvement of people's life? Continue to traverse in this unnecessary agenda and one day you run straight into the gutters and everyone will know that after all you had an agenda to execute for NDC. Only pity the industry players who seem to be ignorant of your tactics.

Prof. Henry Kwasi Prempeh is the Right Choice to Chair the Constitutional Review Committee—Reject Partisan Attempts to Undermine Him On January 27, a group calling itself the United Movement for Development (UMD) petitioned President Mahama to remove Prof. Henry Kwasi Prempeh as Chair of the Constitutional Review Committee and replace him with retired Supreme Court Justice William Atuguba. Their primary contention was that Prof. Prempeh is a supporter of LGBTQI rights, alleging that his stance on human rights, including those of LGBTQI individuals, is incompatible with his current role. However, they failed to present substantive evidence beyond citing his personal and academic perspectives. Prof. Prempeh’s impeccable record speaks for itself, rendering these accusations baseless and an attempt at political manoeuvring. The call for his removal appears to be a veiled partisan effort to install Justice Atuguba, a known National Democratic Congress (NDC) sympathiser, which does not serve the interests of Ghana’s democracy. The petition, spearheaded by Abraham Klutsey on behalf of UMD, operates on a flawed premise: that individuals who hold opinions different from theirs should be excluded from active participation in governance. This is a dangerous precedent that threatens the very essence of democracy and free speech. A functioning democracy thrives on diversity of thought, and excluding qualified individuals based on ideological differences undermines the principles of fairness and open discourse. Governance should not be limited to those who share a single perspective; instead, it should embrace individuals with a range of ideas who can contribute meaningfully to national progress. The criticisms against Prof. Prempeh’s leadership of the Constitutional Review Committee are based on distortions and misrepresentations of his publicly expressed views. His critique of the ‘spoils system’ in governance is a significant point of contention. Contrary to his detractors claim, Prof. Prempeh has been a vocal opponent of corruption and political patronage. He has consistently championed meritocratic governance and accountability in public service. The real reason behind the opposition to Prof. Prempeh’s leadership seems to be his stance against the Anti-LGBT Bill. However, holding a dissenting opinion on this bill should not disqualify a person from public office. Democracy is built on the principle of debate and dissent, and the attempt to silence individuals who express opposing views directly attacks democratic values. If the Anti-LGBT Bill enjoys overwhelming public support, as its proponents claim, then a single dissenting voice should not be considered a threat to the stability of Ghanaian society. A genuinely democratic nation welcomes independent critical thought, not intolerance and exclusion. Prof. Prempeh has not campaigned for any special privileges for LGBTQ individuals; instead, he has opposed policies that unfairly infringe on human dignity and individual freedoms. Defending the rights of marginalised groups does not equate to endorsing any particular lifestyle, and it is a commitment to upholding democratic principles and ensuring that all Ghanaians are treated fairly and respectfully under the law. President Mahama must allow the Constitutional Review Committee to proceed with its work under Prof. Henry Kwasi Prempeh's capable leadership. His track record, expertise, and commitment to national development make him the ideal person for the role. Justice Atuguba is a respected figure in his own right, but there are numerous other areas where his experience can be beneficial. Ghana faces many challenges, and we must leverage the talents of as many capable individuals as possible to build a stronger and more inclusive democracy.

@Graphicgh To stand for yourself is to speak up against the ill using acceptable language and posture. You don't have to do it with disrespect or any form of bullying or unnecessary insult. You only stir the system, you don't improve it

Ghana’s Democracy: Same Script, New Cast Ghana’s democracy, still in its youth, might take decades to mature, if it ever does. At the rate we are going, we may still be longing for those elusive "democratic dividends" long after we have clocked a century of practice. The reason for this is our persistently whimsical approach to appointing leaders. Positions of power seem less like platforms for national service and more like gilded invitations to personal advancement. The prevailing attitude is that leadership is a self-serving buffet, not a duty to Ghana. Consider, for instance, our political tradition of rolling out the red carpet for “fresh hands” after every election. While I am not inherently against governments appointing people who share their ideological compass, the issue lies in the obsession with loyalty over competency. If the new regime’s primary criterion for appointment is gratitude for party support rather than demonstrable merit, then we are not renewing leadership, we are merely reshuffling a deck of unremarkable cards. This, unfortunately, appears to be the hallmark of Mahama’s recent appointments, which bear all the signs of an opportunistic reality television show rather than a serious exercise in governance. Examine the appointees. From their fanfare-soaked entry to their grassroots theatrics, one cannot help but wonder if their job descriptions include throwing more parties than policies. It almost seems as if they view these positions not as opportunities to serve but as the political equivalent of winning the lottery. When the focus shifts from delivering results to basking in their newfound importance, should we really be surprised when little gets done? Then, there is the sheer scale of it all. Over 4,000 appointments, handed out with the flourish of a signature and the ease of someone distributing party souvenirs. How can we expect efficiency when leadership feels like an oversized orchestra of amateurs, all playing different tunes? It is not surprising that the same old rhythms persist. If the previous government stumbled and fell with arguably " competent individuals,” why should we expect a different result with this déjà vu parade? What is particularly worrying is the lack of innovation or revolutionary thinking. Ghana's democratic project seems stuck in a perpetual loop, grinding along like a creaky millstone. If this is the system we are building, a democracy where leadership is treated as a reward rather than a responsibility, then we may very well be setting ourselves up for long-term disaster. Our democracy, young as it is, cannot afford to grow old on such rotten foundations. The way we are going, Ghana may still be debating “potential” rather than celebrating progress when our democracy reaches its centennial. At that point, we will not need enemies to destroy us—we will have done the job ourselves with endless mediocrity, misplaced priorities, and occasional celebratory incompetence.

Donald J. Trump is the America's Terminator IV. He's proven to be assertive and means action. It's about getting things done and done well. He will step on many toes and offend many vulnerable groups in the process. How does America became great with the Terminator? We are in early days yet, but we hope to see that the things that @realDonaldTrump has started terminating will indeed make America great. Personally, I like Trump. He's firm and unwavering. It's a good sign for being an American President. We wish you well, Mr Trump. Big ups to @elonmusk for being a perfect backup.

@1BongoIdeas @realDonaldTrump And who's deceiving you that America isn't great and it's Trump who's going to make it great? America only needed leadership to advance their greatness and they believe Trump is the leader. America is already Great and leaders like Trump will only consolidate it.

Wake Up, Africa: The World’s Not Waiting for a Latecomer Africa seems to be caught in a long, nostalgic nap, clutching traditions and beliefs that have kept us mentally boxed in. It’s like we’ve been holding the key to freedom all along, but instead of unlocking the door, we’re just staring at it, hoping it’ll swing open on its own. Time, however, keeps poking us on the shoulder, whispering, “Hey, you’re getting left behind.” The beliefs we hold so tightly aren’t stairways to progress; they’re more like quicksand, pulling us deeper into stagnation. While the West was busy being nosy—questioning everything from the earth's shape to the mysteries of the cosmos—we were over here treating curiosity like it was a contagious disease. Poor Copernicus had to keep his groundbreaking work under wraps because heaven forbid, anyone questioned the sacred doctrine that the earth was flat. Meanwhile, Columbus decided to hop into a barely seaworthy ship and take a joyride around the world. Spoiler alert: he didn’t fall off the edge, proving that audacity sometimes pays off. Religion came into Africa like a new sheriff in town, armed with a moral compass and a mandate to "civilise" us. Apparently, our rituals—while admittedly a bit intense—weren’t exactly winning any awards for humaneness. So, the newcomers decided to soften our rough edges with a blend of sermons and laws. Sure, we had our own systems of morality, but they were conveniently brushed aside for the “better” blueprint that came with colonisation. We didn’t just get a new religion; we got a whole new way of life, governance included. And let’s be honest: we didn’t have much of a counteroffer. Fast forward, and we’re still riding on the coattails of systems and structures built by those who colonised us. It’s like we’ve rented a house but never thought to build one of our own. Now, as the world shrinks into a global village—where everyone can FaceTime each other from across the planet—we’re still clinging to cultural and religious borders that no longer make sense. Pretending that these boundaries define morality is like trying to steer a modern car with a medieval map. Our refusal to adapt is almost comedic if it weren’t so tragic. We’re quick to judge others for their beliefs, lifestyles, or identities, as if diversity is a disease. This mindset isn’t progress; it’s a “Do Not Disturb” sign hanging on the door of our collective mind. True freedom comes from questioning, exploring, and evolving—not from enforcing uniformity. And let’s not get started on how globalisation is rewriting the rules while we’re still reading the prologue. The world is becoming one big melting pot, and instead of seasoning the stew with our unique spices, we’re sitting on the sidelines, clutching our old recipe book, grumbling about how things were better back in the day. Spoiler: they weren’t. So, what’s the way forward? Wake up. It’s time to stop hitting the snooze button on progress. Our future isn’t in replicating the past; it’s in reimagining it. We need to embrace change, not as a threat but as an opportunity to define our place in this global narrative. The world isn’t waiting for Africa to catch up—it’s moving forward with or without us. And unless we want to be the punchline in the joke of history, we’d better start running.
