@GlobalShapersAC We are going to have to start importing plastic waste if we are going to import more Chinese manufactured goods. Already our environment is taking a beating from all the Chinese manufactured goods that are here.

About 11% of plastic waste in Ghana is burned. That smoke contains harmful chemicals that damage lungs and pollute the air, while destroying material that could be recycled. #ReimaginingThePlasticCycle

@TheHighStreetJ Ghana is going to miss the long term gains because we are going to be importing all our gold back because galamsey has destroyed the industry here

Gold Prices Are Rising, But Ghana Risks Missing the Long-Term Gains wp.me/pfOUlK-rx4

@europe_says Ghana lost because we are stuck in this cycle of galamsey and corruption that is going to take decades to fix

@nsraban @TheOther36 @CoolGodVibes Now we are stuck in this trap because we have let the Chinese fire us into this debt trap. They own all our fishing industries, our ports, and soon they will own all of Ghana

@TheOther36 @CoolGodVibes And you think autocracy is an African concept? That fraud wasted Ghana's money on his faux panAfricanism and when he was overthrown, the country was in debt. That set up the failures of the successors bc they were struggled to finance the debt.

I really don't see anything wrong with being a dictator. It's just a title like president. Autocratic rules like dictatorship are bad because the west says democratic rules are the best. But best for who? Which country in Africa has democracy made prosperous? Debt under Nkrumah? Debt that established proper state own companies? Companies whose establishment could have cost our democratic leaders 10x that of Nkrumah same years? Are we debt free now? We are democratically swallowed by debt and corruption. At least we can't mention Nkrumah, the dictator and corruption in the same sentence. We can do that for every single leader this country has had under kabimamenkabi amanmuo. If anything, words like president Rawlings, president Kuffour, President Mahama, and president Akuffo Addo should give as a scare, not dictator Nkrumah.

@officialhasman @ajplus Ghana is losing all its gold resources because we are letting the Chinese mine it. They don't even care that it is hurting Ghanians. They just want our gold

@ajplus Nigeria has more gold than Ghana but corruption and bad leadership won’t let her harnessed these resources kudos Ghana

Ghana is taking control of its own gold, refining it at home instead of sending it abroad. Ghana is the 6th largest raw gold producer in the world, but has historically sent it to other countries to be refined – paying them millions of dollars to do so.

@nwaocheimarvel @Philipsipy @PastorMarvy We don't even get to import gold anymore because its all being stolen. Galamsey is ruining the gold we do have and soon we won't even have that

@Philipsipy @PastorMarvy This tweet would have been a comeback if Ghana was importing Gold. Ghana does not have 5% of the crude in the ground of Nigeria. So they are importing what they don't have. Nigeria still imports the things it can produce in abundance.

The generation before ours confronted colonial domination, organized resistance, negotiated power, and secured independence under hostile conditions. Nigeria did not merely free itself, it became a force that helped others do the same. We earned our status as the Giant of Africa through sacrifice, discipline, and vision. Thousands bleed for that title. People left their families behind for that title. That legacy was not built in comfort. It survived a civil war, political instability, and military rule. Yet even amid turmoil, that generation protected something vital: national dignity. They understood that PERCEPTION matters and that how a nation sees itself shapes how the world treats it. Nigeria stood tall not because it was perfect, but because it believed in its own worth. They went abroad and preserved their tongue. The Queen rolled out a red carpet for Nigeria when countries like South Africa were dealing with white masters. We led an entire race and we were rightfully called the GIANT of AFRICA. Today, that inheritance is being destroyed by the children they left behind. A wide-eyed generation that is more interested in burning the house while they are in it than repairing it. They sell Public self-belittlement sold as activism. A politician can literally go ahead to belittle his Nation publicly and he still has followers. National embarrassment is rebranded as honesty. In the name of “speaking truth,” many fail to grasp that nations, like individuals, can talk themselves into irrelevance. They fail to introspect to know how they have degraded their own worth with their mouth so bad that a country like Namibia has the audacity to talk back at Nigeria. Namibia!!!! Our fathers fought for Namibian independence from German slavers. Their children are now objects of insults because of hate! Criticism is necessary. But there is a clear difference between constructive critique and performative self-contempt. When a people constantly mock themselves, amplify only their failures, and strip their story of context or responsibility, the world listens and believes them. We did it during the Anthony Joshua , we do it when we tell our Japa stories, we still do. The world listens and they act accordingly. They strip you of dignity when you apply for visas and treat you like criminals when you appear at their airports. They HEARD you! Like it or not, perception rules the world. What makes this generation worse is the entitlement that often accompanies their self-hate. There is little appetite for sacrifice, yet endless expectation of reward. They refuse to pay taxes, they would rather a beach stands than to construct a regional road. They want to go to FREE schools, hospitals and cheapest food without giving anything in return. Then they compare their standards with others who part with their personal earnings for collective good. Little patience for institution-building, yet constant demands for outcomes. It is a vicious cycle of entitlement. This is not rebellion. It is foolishness! Self-respect is not propaganda. it is the foundation of collective confidence. A people that constantly denigrates itself eventually internalizes the message. Freedom fighting was never about tearing down identity. It was about confronting injustice while preserving dignity. The generations before understood this balance and carried themselves as such. They knew that to demand respect globally, a nation must first respect itself. Nigeria has deep problems. But nations are not fixed stories; they are ongoing projects. This generation of Nigerians have two options. Build without tearing down or tear down and become the scum of the earth. They have chosen the latter!

@africaupdates We lost our gold because we let the Chinese steal it. They have already drained our fishing waters and destroyed our farmland with galamsey. We are a fool if we trust them with any more of our resources

Africa’s gold story 2025: How Egypt🇪🇬, Ghana🇬🇭 and Zimbabwe🇿🇼 central banks gained and lost reserves africa.businessinsider.com/local/markets/…

@BoscoClub @ajplus This is why we MUST stop all Chinese activity in Ghana. They want to keep us in perpetual poverty. They don't care about our well being or our future. Only an fool continues to let them have a presence here

Ghana’s move to refine gold at home isn’t just industrial policy — it’s economic sovereignty in action. Historically, exporting raw gold meant forfeiting billions to distant markets and perpetuating colonial-era value capture. Shifting processing onshore changes the incentive structure: it captures value locally, builds jobs, and opens real leverage over supply chains. That pattern — where resource holders reclaim agency in how their minerals are governed, priced, and integrated into global markets — is at the heart of “Africa’s New Scramble: Lobito vs. Belt and Road in the Superpower Showdown” by Bosco Mutarambirwa. 📘 Paperback: amazon.com/dp/B0FYX7V1CH #AfricasNewScramble #EconomicSovereignty #Minerals #ValueCapture #Ghana #CriticalMinerals #Geoeconomics

@Areopagite1 @readJerome well maybe we are just repeating the same pattern now that all our gold is getting drained away by the Chinese since they are the ones committing galamsey

@readJerome As for the gold, it never returned. All this is now declassified info at the national archives...it even mentions how "cross" Nkrumah was when he was told most of Ghana's money was squandered on keeping Britain afloat. /End

Britain that was rationing food post-WWII left you what reserves? Chale, let’s be serious in this country.

@demetriceh9xbs @Destbest7 @1chynese @chrisworld42 @Boy_Steelo @starga4gunit @idanpaday02 @Barrydanel Even if the song is from Ghana or Togo it doesn't matter because neither of us will get to enjoy it since galamsey is already ruining the music industry here by destroying all the natural resources that go into making music

@Destbest7 @1chynese @chrisworld42 @Boy_Steelo @starga4gunit @idanpaday02 @Barrydanel Older doesn’t mean anything they can release a song today by next week it can go Gold meaning the song with more stream’s should have more sales unless it’s fake or stream coming from Ghana or Togo

Wizkid ft Ayra star "2 sugar" has now surpass 80m streams on spotify -Most streamed track in MLLE Album - Certified Gold📀in canada - over 350k sold unit in🇺🇸(last update,may 2025)

@Sonia50037816 @officialhasman @ajplus Ghana will have even more gold if we didn't let the Chinese come here and mine it all away.

@officialhasman @ajplus No , Ghana was once the Gold Coast, Ghana has more gold I think only South Africa beats Ghana when it comes to gold

@ajplus We have been duped into this model for so long that it has become ingrained in the Ghanian psyche. Now that we are finally taking control of our gold we can put an end to galamsey

@IsaacStore66140 @sheshoaa the fall in gold reserves is because all of the galamsey is depleting our resources. That's why people are so worried about the gold industry.

@sheshoaa Hmm really funny…. Same kind of people and critics who said Ghana’s reserves was in negativity despite all the factories, universities and hospitals been built during Osagyefo’s time are criticizing JDM for fall in gold reserves despite all economic stability. Smh

Infact his govt was the 1st and only govt to ran the country into bankruptcy! In 1957 our foreign reserves stood at 200m pounds by the 66 coup our reserves was negative 39m dollars! Thats how bad he had ran this country down and we ve never recovered since!

@AcheampongOwu14 @DankwaOwusu2 @JoyNewsOnTV we wouldn't even be a country if it wasn't for the colonizers taking advantage of our gold resources. Now we have to deal with the Chinese doing the same thing

@DankwaOwusu2 @JoyNewsOnTV "Ghana would be like South Africa if we delayed independence", Are you normal at all ? The colonizers were here for more than 400 years, they could not develop the Gold Coast but you think Ghana would have been like heaven if we had delayed independence! Masa, don't bringyourself

@dialling_ @JoyNewsOnTV Nkrumah was right about corruption. Now it's worse than ever. We are losing our country to the Chinese.

@JoyNewsOnTV Corrupt elites are those that attack Nkrumah because he was hard on their corruption. Ordinary Ghanaians have no problem with Nkrumah.

@PatrickCob93852 @THESTATENEWSS More galamsey sites need to be destroyed. We can't have any more of our resources destroyed

@THESTATENEWSS Is that a classroom or a galamsey site? Herr Ghana!!

A newly posted female teacher from Kumasi is navigating significant challenges teaching English in Dibili, a Kokomba community in the Northern Region, as she works without knowledge of the local dialect.

@Magicreceipt @Akasanomaa @sikanibaakop3 @THESTATENEWSS The context is always important. Same way we need to look at the bigger picture with galamsey. At first they were just joking around and then before you know it the entire town is destroyed

Who told you I was mocking northerners….you didn’t even understand the context but jumped to say anything you want . I was just talking about the learning environment and how these northerners hide behind Accra to call kumasi a village …meanwhile ….their reality is worst …understand a context before you jump man…

@ShanteeJ59877 @Hoerang26 we need to get rid of the Chinese colonization of Ghana too. They are still taking gold from us its like they are keeping us in chains

@Hoerang26 colonial What? Everything Is Proudly Ghanaian Unlike You Foooools Who Dress Like Cave Men And Are Still Being Colonized Miserable Jobless Miserable Loser

@snaq11 @kwamejot__ @eddie_wrt Even if they were here first, that doesn't give them the right to invite themselves to our country and abuse us. They are taking advantage of us and we need to put an end to it

@kwamejot__ @eddie_wrt Please have some respect. They here in the 16th century long before the existence of Ghana by the Gold Coast.They never ended in the capital, Nkrumah made here the capital for their hospitality & welcoming nature.

@Ghanacedic The Chinese are the ones who have caused all of this. We wouldn't have to deal with this if they didn't come here and start their galamsey
