African leaders set the standard for how Africans should be seen anywhere in the world.

This makes me so sad. How can a 69 year republic fail its people on bare minimums? You treat your people like this and expect an outsider to treat them better?

@kwahmi You mean the 50 million trees are not ventilating the country?

Not to be an asshole but the heat we experience from dumsor is most likely from how poorly ventilated our spaces are ... regardless of the general rise in temperature across the city ...

@e_naban @samgeorgegh It is.

@mrashitey @samgeorgegh This is really a big deal

The model partnership. Thank you @samgeorgegh 👏🏾

@thejosephmireku Incessant waste in the public sector gives little hope, even though it's an obvious starting point if we had the hands of Lee Kuan Yew on our affairs. Maybe, giving effect through an LI to the national CSR policy can be a way to scale development.

The big challenge in public service is the “transmission mechanism” that translates your personal wishes and goals into public policy that creates change. You can set up an NGO and give out free food, but until you’re driving a public system that justifies, standardises and delivers such an approach at scale, you’re failing as a public servant. Even if you’re doing great as a philanthropist.

World Bank — $120.7million USAID — $100million CIDA — CA$30million + $16million UNICEF — $9million Others — $$$ But in Ghana, over $300million isn't enough to provide portable water for a 70,000sq km Northern region. Okay.

No sudden bang can create this level of awe-striking beauty. God is the greatest! 😍

We must drop the coat-coat and wazup wazup mehn tinz and bring the azonto vibes to the World Cup. This is our chance to revive the azonto genre.

@kwakuasanteb Context. He was paraphrasing Will Durant: Nature and history do not agree with our conceptions of good and bad; they define good as that which survives, and bad as that which goes under; and the universe has no prejudice in favor of Christ as against Genghis Khan.

This is the guy some Christians are willing to die for.

🇧🇪🗣️ Jeremy Doku: “When Jesus returns, there won’t be a second chance. My goal is that when he returns, he’ll say to me: ‘Well done, my son. Jeremy, I gave you money, friends, a wife, fame, a family, resources. What did you do for me? What did you do with your money? Did you buy houses, clothes?’ When you think about that, you realise you shouldn’t live selfishly. When he returns, I hope I can join him in eternal life; I have no other goal." 🙏🛐

We are digging our graves with our teeth and packaging ourselves to death. scientificamerican.com/article/reprod…

The blurring of the lines between political life and celebrity culture is how we end up making tin gods out of intellectually and morally bankrupt fanfoolers because "ɔwɔ dɔm" - people whose only true principle is access to power.

@Shejackiesays Fixing the problem means less dependence. Less dependence means less need. Less need means less power. So to preserve power, don't fix the problem.

Nobody is trying to fix the problems we have in this country. Everyone is trying to make enough money so the problems don't apply to them anymore

You are why God declared gluttony a sin 🤣

We have only three psychiatric hospitals.

1. Just a little over a year ago, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) concluded from its survey of the field that China is ahead of the United States in 90% (57 out of 64) critical technologies which are defining the future of economic power in the world. 2. The flip had taken just two decades to manifest. What’s more, if China's geostrategic alliances are considered (think of BRICS, the Eurasian Axis, etc.) and matched against that of the United States (e.g. the so-called Trans-Atlantic alliance, Five Eyes, and the Israeli pact), further advantages around cost-efficiency and raw material control levers may boost the counter-West's edge to 95%. 3. I want to make a provocative point that this assessment is primarily confined to civilian technologies. At least, for now. 4. What we have seen in the last few years in the Russia-Ukraine theater, in Venezuela, and the Middle-East (including the unfolding saga in the Persian Gulf), suggests that there is still a considerable material gap between Western military technologies and those of the Eurasian-BRICS axis (with its Sino-Russian core.) 5. I will proceed to make a bold claim that two theories I have been working on for more than a decade: hyper-integration and transmediation explain this paradox (of civilian tech dominance coupled with military tech inferiority) rather remarkably. Consider: 6. In 28 December 2025, Israel took delivery of Iron Beam - a 100kW laser that shoots down missiles at $3.50 per shot. This is a crazy breakthrough! The predecessor systems for Iron Dome cost $50k per interceptor! 7. China's Silent Hunter laser does a similar job. Both use fibre-laser modules. Both look comparable on paper. But Iron Beam is 8-10x more energy-dense at range. Why? 8. The answer reshapes how we think about technological power. Iron Beam uses coherent beam combining - phase-locking dozens of laser emitters into a single wavefront at femtosecond precision. China's system superimposes beams without synchronising them. The difference is like night and day. 9. This pattern repeats across the entire military domain. China builds the world's best 5G networks. Russia fields hypersonic missiles. Yet Western-origin air defence systems dramatically outperformed Russian equivalents in Ukraine, the Middle East, and Venezuela throughout 2024-2025. 10. The puzzle: how can nations that manufacture a third of the world's consumer electronics fail to synchronise an array of fibre lasers? 11. The answer lies in hyper-integration and transmediation theories. But too few analysts understand them. 12. This hyper-integration and transmediation fortress is the West's last real advantage. Everything else has been superseded. 13. They lose that, they are game. If counter-West powers fails to match it, they will be playing catchup for a while yet. 14.

Ghana needs mandatory disclosure of political sponsorships for content creators and stronger media literacy education.

To be fair. Credentialed policy voices have long gatekept who gets to shape Ghana's public discourse. Some creators genuinely represent communities that experts ignore. So the problem isn't the messenger. It's the hidden hand behind the message.

A few observations🤔. I may be wrong 😩. Ghana's content creator economy is booming. But something quieter is also happening. Recreational creators are being turned into policy amplifiers or shapers. And most of their audiences, I presume, have no idea.
