@DD_Geopolitics One of many reasons the petrodollar must die at all cost.

🇺🇸🇮🇶 BREAKING | The United States has reportedly suspended all funding and security coordination with the Iraqi government and has halted dollar shipments to Iraq's central banking system, according to Saudi channel Al-Hadath. Washington says the suspension will remain in effect until a new Iraqi government is formed and Baghdad provides information on pro-Iranian militia members who have attacked U.S. targets in Iraq. Iraq's economy is 90% dependent on oil revenue paid in dollars into a Federal Reserve account in New York. Every month, Baghdad flies in $1-2 billion in cash from that account to pay salaries and conduct government functions. Cutting dollar access means the Iraqi government cannot operate—salaries go unpaid, the dinar collapses, and the state grinds to a halt. Iraq is currently forming a new government after November 2025 elections. The U.S. threatened in January to suspend engagement if any of 58 pro-Iranian MPs were included in the cabinet. Now Trump is enforcing that ultimatum while Iraq remains paralyzed between Washington and Tehran. Washington invaded Iraq, destroyed its economy, controls its oil revenue through the New York Fed, and is now starving the government until it picks a cabinet the White House approves.

@xghana_ You work hard for peanut salaries, then take a whooping 10% of that meagre amount and dash to a pastor for his comfort, all in the name of religion. Many are mad, but few are naked

Woman calls pastor and elders of Wesley Cathedral Methodist Church - Sunyani thieves for over tithe payment. She emphasized her point about the church’s alleged rule: it does not financially support members for funerals of immediate family if those members don’t pay their tithes.

@Graphicgh Hehe, the Attorney General hasn't succeeded at prosecuting a single case under ORAL, yet it is the handicapped OSP that these crooked politicians are trying to divert attention to.

“I don’t really see what the new guy (OSP) has done over the years so I’m agreeing with the judge and also the Constitution is clear. Frankly, this Special Prosecutor could have done a lot more. From where we left off in 2024, I personally don’t have any hope in him. Maybe a different individual may have something else, but this particular Special Prosecutor, I don’t think he’s really what Ghana needs.” — Deputy Minister of Health, Dr Grace Ayensu-Danquah #graphiconline

@fourthestategh Instead of JDM proposing to use AI to solve galamsey, we can all agree AI would be better applied at solving corruption. Albania led the way with an AI procurement minister. What's stopping Ghana from following suit? Deploy AI at all the money-siphoning points.

For 29 months, a senior civil servant at the Ministry of Defence received over GHS427 million in unearned salaries – an average of more than GHS14 million per month. Frank Oliver Kpodo was at the time serving as Director of Procurement at the Ministry of Defence. His unearned salaries featured prominently in a recent report by the Auditor-General on the processes by which government employees were paid from January 2023 to June 2025. The report details a near-broken system leaking money to thousands of civil servants, most of whom had done little to no work over the period. The Auditor-General reported that more than 6,000 government employees received more than GHS800 million in unearned salaries, but Mr Kpodo alone allegedly received more than half of this amount – that is, GHS427 million.

@Citi973 Politicians need to win the next election so they'll always over promise their gullible followership and under deliver. Meanwhile, the money allocated for the project would be exhausted at the end of their tenure, whether the project is completed or not.

@coldsummers91 Zombie party footsoldiers too say if you ask for high speed trains in Ghana you be koka neutral 😂. Ghana ankasa unless Satan comes early to take his people away o, ɛnyɛ saa deaa forget 😅. Jesus deɛ he no go get any candidates so make he no waste ein time come koraa 😝

See money being wasted away. But they went to Europe to beg for 20 million Euros to upgrade the Tema–Mpakadan railway line. Ghanaian youth will swear on their mothers’ lives that Ghana cannot afford railways. You deserve what you are getting.

@elliot_solution In China, this guy would likely get hanged and all his assets confiscated by the state. But ORAL republic comfortably kept him at post and continue funding him with our taxes. Such a lovely, generous, God-fearing, peaceful, democratic African country 😅.

Here is the part I want you to pay attention to. After the audit caught him, Frank Oliver Kpodo was not fired. He was transferred. From Director of Procurement at the Ministry of Defence to Director of Finance and Administration at the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources. Read that again slowly. The man flagged for moving GHS427 million in unearned salaries is now in charge of FINANCE at another ministry. The Public Accounts Committee recommended interdiction 3 weeks ago. The Auditor-General recommended his name be deleted from the payroll. He is still at his desk. In any serious country, that alone would be the scandal.

@koboateng Sadly, this thief and his crony conspirators' children will later come and tell our children we didn't hustle hard enough to leave them generational wealth.

Basically Frank Oliver Kpodo worked at the Ministry of Defence as Director of Procurement. For 29 months, that’s almost 2 and a half years, he was receiving over GHS14 million every single month in salary. He did little to no work. That’s GHS427 million total. To one person. To put that in context, the entire Ministry of Transport’s budget for the year is GHS151 million. This man collected nearly 3x that. Alone. In salary. And he’s not the only one. The Auditor-General found over 6,000 government workers collected GHS800 million in unearned salaries. But Kpodo alone took more than half of the entire amount. Experts say this doesn’t happen alone. Someone validates the payroll. Someone approves it. Someone looks the other way every month for 29 months. Now here’s the part that should make your blood boil: He’s still at work. Currently serving as Director of Finance and Administration at the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources. Meanwhile we have hospitals with no beds. No medicine. No doctors. This is where the money goes. We are not angry enough o

@jeffwellz ORAL is turning out to be the fiasco of our lifetime. Rawlings used corruption as the basis to undertake the bloodiest Coup in Ghana's history. Kuffuor, Atta Mills/Mahama, Akuffo Addo, Mahama 2, all used corruption as campaign messages to get elected, only to join in the frenzy.

People have become desensitized to news like this and that’s a problem. GHS 427 million of unearned salaries. That’s $38 million. For comparison, a new MRI machine costs $2M

@Shejackiesays This is the way! Enjoy

Today, I’m celebrating more than a birthday. I’m celebrating the battles no one saw, the prayers whispered through tears, the moments I wanted to give up but didn’t, and the grace that carried me through it all. This past year stretched me, humbled me, and changed me. There were moments of joy, moments of pain, moments of doubt, and moments where faith was all I had. But somehow, through every high and every low, I’m still here. Still standing. Still growing. Still believing. And that alone is enough reason to celebrate. I may not be where I want to be yet, but I am far from where I used to be, and I am proud of the woman I am becoming. Today, my heart is full of gratitude….for life, for growth, for grace, and for the gift of another chapter. Happy birthday to me. May this new season be softer, brighter, and filled with everything my heart has been praying for

@tv3_ghana The funny thing about health is that there's no "one size fits all" approach. You can do everything you know right, but your biology alone will still say otherwise. What works for Mr. A won't necessarily work for Mr. B. Anyways, late night eating is the norm in some cultures

President Mahama recently urged Ghanaians to desist from late-night eating. His comment has subsequently sparked renewed conversations around diet and healthy living. But beyond the advice, how important is early eating to the overall health of individuals? Samuel Yeboah Adams explores how lifestyles are shaping eating patterns, what science says and whether this call is practical for Ghanaians. #3NewsGH #TV3GH

@tv3_ghana Yet a ball of kenkey is still ≥¢5. Gov't upon gov't boast of unprecedented achievements, yet such accomplishments are never felt in reality. Are the products available on the markets and affordable? Are farmers making profits? Is there any plan to store excess for lean seasons?

Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, has stated that under the current administration's policies, Ghana has achieved food abundance for the first time in its history. #3ewsGH #TV3GH

@Graphicgh Cupboard boy koraa he no go win 😂. Not because genuine Ghanaians aren't looking for alternatives to Atta Panin and Atta Kakra, but because he's simply not serious. Does he think just showing up during elections and then vanishing into oblivion is what will make him president?

“I know you all saw me running for president. I probably look too young, but I’m not promising you — I will be your president, sooner or later. And right after that, I will walk through the other borders and continue the leadership of this continent, building this continent and building the people of Africa. That’s my aim.” - Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar or Freedom Jacob Caesar #GraphicOnline

@askghmedia Nsuo bi kyɛn nsuo bi! Colombia powder vs Korle-bu powder 😂😂😂

A young Ghanaian lady shares a video celebrating herself for buying her first house at the age of 25 by selling pure water in traffic.

@Asante_nation Aboa a ɔ nya wo a ɔ bɛ ka wo na ɔ fii ne se kyerɛ wo. I believe in "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth". If someone openly show they neither like nor respect you, simply return the favour in equal fold. No time to waste massaging infantile, empty egoes. He can burn the sea!

A very unfortunate remark by Dr Lawrence Tetteh. Especially referring to it as "nonsense." That, in itself, is disrespectful to the Twi-speaking community. (Video in my second slide). I believe the focus should rather be on encouraging his people to be more open and willing to teach the Ga language to those who genuinely show interest in learning it. There is a noticeable mindset among some that teaching the language to outsiders exposes too much, as if it reveals secrets or gives others access to private conversations. This idea that “your language is your power” often creates reluctance in sharing it. Let me share my personal experience, and I know many others can relate to this. When I first moved to Accra, my first place of stay was not a Ga-dominated area, it was a new site with a largely Akan population and a bit of Ewe presence. So our main mode of communication was Twi and English, There was no real opportunity or environment where Ga was being taught or encouraged. Later when I went to the University, in Level 200, I moved off campus to rent a place at Okponglo, a traditional La community where Ga was widely spoken. In the house I lived in, I met a Ga family: a couple with four boys, including twins, Akwetey and Akwete, who were then in PRESEC. They spoke fluent and impressive Ga. Out of genuine interest, I asked them to teach me the language. Unfortunately, neither the parents nor the boys were willing to help. Anytime I brought it up, it turned into a joke. We would laugh about it, and before you realised, the topic had changed. When they spoke Ga and I asked for the meaning, they would jokingly respond, “aden wopɛ saa ayɛ deɛn?”, as if my interest was unnecessary. It will interest you to know that, the little Ga I eventually picked up, words like “ofainɛ, teyɔ tɛɛ, miyedzogban ee, miya sɔmɔ, etome body ee, mahe nii, mi le, miisumo bo” etc, were not even taught to me by Ga natives. It was an Akuapem family who had previously lived in Mamprobi and later moved into our area that helped me learn these basics. The very custodians of the language did not. That experience gradually killed my interest in learning Ga. So when the custodians of a language are unwilling to teach those who are interested, how can a visitor be blamed for not speaking it? Even at the University of Ghana, Ga was hardly spoken. During our time, the dominant modes of communication on campus were English, Pidgin, and Twi. The few who were bold to openly speak their language on campus were the Fantes, even with that it was their ladies, the Fante guys didn't like speaking Fante on campus at all. The same applies at the Ghana Institute of Journalism now UNIMAC, English, Twi, and Pidgin dominate. Interestingly, GIJ was a university that Ga students loved attending, based on their surnames in my class. Another personal observation is that the moment the Accra folks realise you are from Kumasi or any Akan region, they quickly switch. They will even speak Twi to you first, naturally, you respond in Twi as well, and there were a few times that they spoke English to you. When we go to Makola or Madina market to buy foodstuffs, the sellers immediately switch to Twi to attract our attention and make a sale. This was what I experienced during my uni days, I don't know if it has changed. This is the everyday reality of Accra. As a cosmopolitan city, from commerce to transportation, and social interactions, it’s Twi here, Twi there. It has already become dominant. Unfortunately, the custodians of the Ga language are not always the best ambassadors of the language. So how do you blame a visitor for not speaking it? If I open this conversation up, many Akan students who have lived or studied in non-Akan regions will share similar experiences. The common issue is the withholding of language by natives. It raises the question, what exactly is being protected or hidden? See next 👇

In the candid video, she lamented her struggles with finding love, questioning why her age seems to be a barrier to men entering her life. “Because I am 40 years old, no man wants to come into my life. Why me?” she cried out in despair. Her raw and vulnerable confession has touched many, highlighting the often painful realities of dating and societal expectations for women in their 40s.

@askghmedia So how does increasing the bride price help them find husbands if there're no men willing to pay the cheaper one 😂?

A Builsa lady is appealing to the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs to raise the current bride price for women to at least one cow, arguing that the existing amount is far too cheap. She notes that even though the bride price remains low, they are still unable to find men who are ready to marry them.
