@JustNanaAma @GhPoliceService What exactly is the nature and purpose of "Black Maria" ?

A reminder, friends: when the Asawasi seven were killed, @GhPoliceService initially claimed they were armed robbers. Not long after, journalists discovered they were actually killed in cold blood by the Police at Manso. Believe Ghana Police at your peril!

@Shejackiesays When you intervened so that they didn't get arrested you fixed your problem, and created a bigger one for everyone else.

Something happened in my area last Friday (Eid holiday) and it’s been bothering me. A neighbour had no light the whole day. Instead of reporting it early or waiting on ECG, she decided in the evening to get someone to “fix” it. Around 7pm, my light and about 10 or more other houseswent off at the same time. We step outside and there’s a guy coming down from an ECG pole in the area Turns out, he had changed the phases just to restore light to one house… at the expense of the rest of us. 10 houses off so 1 person can have power. We confronted him. First he said he was an engineer. Later, he said he’s a student. No permit, no authorisation just up on a pole. I called ECG, and they made it clear this is illegal and dangerous. We were even warned earlier that repeated incidents like this could get the whole area disconnected. And honestly, this isn’t even the first time. These “informal fixes” are becoming too common. We insisted he reverses what he did. He resisted. When he finally tried, cables sparked and part of the area went off again. Thankfully, ECG came in and restored power. They were ready to arrest both the guy and the person who called him. I had to step in to calm things down and let it pass as a warning. But now here’s the twist—the same neighbour is upset with me. Giving me attitude. Because she thinks I’m the reason ECG came… and not her. So now I’m the bad person for stopping something illegal that affected multiple homes? At what point did “fixing your problem” start meaning creating a bigger one for everyone else? Because this right here is part of why we keep having unstable power issues in some areas.

@GhanaTechInfra So every region must have an airport and a stadium but if they don't have a simple train station no one is bothered? We're building white elephants everywhere

🚨 Government has acquired land in Sunyani in the Bono region for a new airport project, with procurement processes expected to begin soon ahead of construction works.

@KwekuBaah_ To be fair you don't have to be a doctor to know whether this plan will work or not.

When we say Doctors should be in charge, you people say no. After the ‘emergency’ phase, you send the patients where?

We should ask, when has the president stood to fundraise from the private sector for Korle Bu. He should tell us why the Black Stars gets that attention.

Come to think of it, if the black jersey was binned because of the misfortune at AFCON 2006, why then do we not apply the same ‘metric’ to the red jersey? This is possibly the worst days ever for all black stars fan.

@AZ_Bassit It's definitely this guy.

Naaaa there must be an in-house joke between who is completely useless between this guy, Amoakohene and Sam George.

@joeyamoah 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Chale you want the ananse or the Makola market jersey? I'm just counting down the days until Nike finally comes knocking. I've given up on Adidas.

The kits have been released and @thebellower hasn’t called to complain then it means it’s ok then.

@1changess @OleleSalvador @GhPoliceService @3NewsGH As in: acclaimed.... globally.

🚨BREAKING🇬🇭👮🏿‍♂️⚠️: Globally acclaimed Ghanaian visual artist Ibrahim Mahama has been hospitalized after an alleged assault by a @GhPoliceService special operations team known as Black Maria in Tamale. Mahama spoke exclusively to @3NewsGh. Walk with me. 1/4🧵

"We are checking"? Imagine if we had a hospital CEO who was so on the ball that they could say categorically what the reality is in their hospital

@brightackwerh @NiiBortey_ Fundraising for a private profit making entity which doesn't even want to be transparent about its earnings, loans, grants, management meetings... our priorities are severely misplaced

A country where sick patients have to receive emergency healthcare on the floor in the biggest hospitals it has should not be contributing anything to a world cup... Especially one where it's players and fans lives and safety can't be guaranteed.

To be clear GFA is not a charity. It is not a not-for-profit. It is a private entity. The teams earn winnings, the organisation is just poor at management so we treat this whole thing like a charitable cause.

Did anyone feel that Makola inspiration?

Real question, is the real problem the GFA or puma? Which of them doesn't wanna put the effort in?

They did this for Kwame Nkrumah and are somehow incapable of managing such basic affairs, how ironic.

Don’t say anything. Just retweet.

It's so weird that religious people would allow their God to be used as a pawn like this, but have a problem with someone's dressing style...

If I send you this, just know that I said what I said and I don't care how you feel about it.

Senegal’s president casually updates his social profile pictures to include the AFCON trophy behind him. How do you say “come and get it if you can” in Wolof?
