True. Applies to all countries. Build capacity to address a greater part of your immediate needs

.@SecScottBessent: "A nation that cannot manufacture, mine, ship, or refine its needs gradually cedes its strength and sovereignty to others. That is a dangerous dependency for any country; it is an unacceptable one for the United States of America."

I want to personally sponsor 20 young farmers who want to do dry season Tomato farming this year. 1. Your land should be cleared and ready by September. 2. Your minimum land size should be 2 acres and maximum 20 acres. 3. The support will be input based. Tractor services, fertilizer, seeds, agricultural extension services, weeds and pests control, irrigation systems and ready market for the tomatoes. This is a personal pilot project and hopefully we can collectively cultivate over 400 acres of tomatoes this year during the dry season. Together let’s make this work. #idey4u

A circular claiming that African nationals, including Ghanaians, risk arrest, imprisonment and deportation in Cambodia from June 1 has been circulating widely on social media. However, following checks I made through a journalist contact in Cambodia, as well as further verification as a representative of my media house, officials from Cambodia’s Interior Ministry and Immigration Office have described the document as false/fake news. Authorities reportedly denied issuing such a directive and questioned the source of the circulating notice. As always, verify before sharing

The Ghanaian Farmer
The Ghanaian Farmer@EnyonamManye·
Two years ago, I interviewed this young graduate farmer while he was still a student at the University of Cape Coast 🌱 Today… he sent me this heartbreaking message 💔 After investing over GH₵180,000 into a 6-acre farm with no support, floods have destroyed everything. His crops are gone. His investment is gone. And now, he says he may have to send his workers home because he has nothing left to continue. This is the painful reality many young farmers are silently battling in Ghana 🇬🇭 We keep encouraging the youth to go into agriculture… but one disaster can wipe out years of sacrifice overnight 😔 If you would like to support this young farmer in restarting his life and farm again, you can kindly donate through: Momo details: 0598623499 Name: Count On Crops Hub Every support matters 🙏🌱 @johndumelo @potokunor

@cjosei If all these years as a footballing nation, we’ve been unable to develop an industry with the capacity to build and maintain natural pitches, still ignoring the massive deployment of tech in these areas worldwide in favour of quick fixes, then there isn’t much thinking going on

@pkacee Those of you running down over 200 pitches, deserve to examine your concience. Are you aware that some of them host premier league matches? You mean the "sakora" parks were better? Incredible!!!! This thinking is mind boggling. It looks more like dirty partisan politics.

In the topical immigration debates taking place in South Africa, many ignorant people have been manipulated by politicians and individuals with political ambitions who are exploiting that ignorance for their own agendas. But not everyone is ignorant to the real issues at the heart of the crisis. Some voices within South African society, including from the white community, are now speaking openly and calling things for what they are. The reality is that immigration in South Africa is not simply about foreigners. It is also about failed governance across the region, corruption, unemployment, economic collapse, weak border management, and political leaders who refuse to confront the root causes driving migration. Increasingly, some South Africans are beginning to recognise that blaming migrants alone will not solve the deeper structural problems affecting the country. But who cares about facts and accurate narratives when all that is needed are emotions to drive people into doing things they have been wrongly told will mitigate their suffering and the abject poverty in which they live? The tragedy of populist politics is that it feeds on desperation, not truth. People who are struggling economically become easy targets for manipulation, especially when they are constantly told that vulnerable groups, rather than failed leadership and corruption, are responsible for their hardships. Who cares about all the corruption coming out of the Madlanga Commission? Who cares that hospitals are being looted while billions that should have been used for healthcare, schools, roads, housing, and service delivery are instead being squandered on Ferraris and lavish lifestyles for politically connected elites? Nobody cares about those facts. The public is deliberately distracted from the real criminals destroying society. Instead of confronting corruption, state capture, and political failure exposed before the Madlanga Commission, people are encouraged to direct their anger at the easiest and most vulnerable targets, foreign nationals who are themselves trying to survive poverty and economic hardship. That is how populist politics works. It protects the powerful while turning the poor against one another manipulating their ignorance.

The Ghana Card? We started conversations about it years before my friend Dr. Bawumia became Vice-President. I remember Herman Chinery Hesse introducing Moses Baiden, the MD of Margins, to me during Kufuor's tenure as the person with the best identity management system for handling our ID cards. Sadly, the Kufuor government preferred some unreliable Europeans who couldn't deliver—partly due to funding issues. Then politics took over. The NDC won the 2008 elections, and a lot changed. IMANI virtually battled the NIA during the Atta Mills administration to push for the right thing. Mass registrations for ID cards were held in all regions except the then three northern regions. Apparently, an "improved" technology—one that captured all five fingers instead of the three or four fingers previously captured in the other seven regions—had been "discovered." Sadly, the claim was that all the data collected from millions of Ghanaians in those seven regions wasn't worthy of a national ID system. I remember Moses Baiden and Herman telling me that we could still use the data collected to process authentic IDs, but it all fell on deaf ears at the NIA board at the time. Moses Baiden struggled, but he persevered. I would later be part of a private sector sounding board at the Danish Embassy, alongside Patrick Awuah and Elizabeth Villars, that approved some initial funding for the private company, Margins, to continue his card business during President Mahama's first term. Then came the NPP under Nana and Bawumia. The NPP abandoned the data collected from the seven regions. They procured technology that captured five fingers. Margins helped through an arrangement with the NIA, and Ghana had to register all over again for ID cards. So you see, much happened with our ID cards years before Bawumia became Vice-President. He promoted the card, but he didn't initiate it, nor did he invent it. Please, enough already 😃. Happy Eid!

There’s one thing at the heart of most of the problems we face in this country. A greater number of people on govt payroll are simply not working. It is an issue of national concern requiring immediate correction
