Back to X! Let’s follow each other and engage.

@maurice_voice @euros_kelvin @GhArmedForces @GhPoliceService I was not referencing to you. But who are the innocent civilians here? The ones who shot the military convoy or the ones in the buses escorted by the military?

@BasiruDawda @euros_kelvin @GhArmedForces @GhPoliceService If only you knew the facts on grounds you wouldn't be labelling me a suspect.

Imagine leaving a first date and getting a performance review 😭

We are about to spend $250 million on ai Centers when the 1 million coders is not even making proper headway.

Foreign corporations are shaping government policy by selling them the dream of a digital revolution, while communities still lack electricity and access to clean water. Children are learning under trees without textbooks, yet we somehow expect them to grow and master the digital world. [ We are a republic of no ideas ]

While you hustle, they steal millions. And when you complain, they will tell you to sell more coconuts. It is good that you are okay with that reality. I am not okay. We can industrialize today if they stop stealing the millions.

Extraditing a former minister from the USA, who is not even a US citizen, is beyond Ghana's control Yet you're pushing a bill so dual citizens can hold sensitive positions so that your kids with foreign passports can rule us without losing their advanced country passports. Vim 🥲

I wanted to comment on this, but I still couldn’t find the source of this information. No court name ? No location ? Just a story!

A citizen who cannot afford medication worth $6 should prompt any prosecutor with a conscience to acknowledge they are operating within a deeply dysfunctional state. At worst, jurisprudence demands a suspended sentence or community service for someone who is, plainly, a victim of that same dysfunction. Instead, the state deploys resources probably worth more than a hundred times the amount he took, to punish a sick man for being poor. This is what the law looks like when it is built to oppress rather than protect.

We did it for Africa and all people of African descent.

Today at the UN plenary on the transatlantic slave trade, H.E. John Dramani Mahama introduced a resolution condemning the transatlantic slave travel as a crimes against humanity, pushing reparations back onto the global agenda. My book Reparations: History, Struggle, Politics and Law (foreword by Mahama) speaks to this moment.

As the first sub-Saharan African entity to break from British colonial grip, Ghana resolved in 1957 to advance the dignity of Africans and to renew respect for black people in world affairs. Today is one other great step towards that ambitious goal. Nkrumah’s Ghana remains a prestigious badge for the African.

What level of hatred, bitterness, unpatriotism is this ? Whoever did this should be brought to face the law.

As we are all happy celebrating Ghana’s independence, let’s pause for a moment and ask ourselves, are we really independent? What defines independence? What does independence means to you as a person? @GTV_Ghana @tv3_ghana @GhanaPresidency @Citi973 @JoyNewsOnTV @utvghana

Don’t buy into their propaganda.

@EpiAkonde @S_OkudzetoAblak 😂

@S_OkudzetoAblak DVLA is just tempting us to break our fast early and descend on them. The devil is a liar.

Foreign Ministry’s statement on purported approval for extension of DVLA services abroad.

Reset!

@b_tella @OjokRe Since when did Ghana had a US base?

@koftownboy @MPKwarteng_ I will like to know the source of this and if you could direct me to it

@MPKwarteng_ Report of the Justice Apaloo Commission, appointed under the Commissions of EnquiryAct, 1964 (Act 250) to Enquire into the Kwame Nkrumah Properties. There are a lot of things we don’t know

Ghana owes her spirit, heart and breath to Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. He built nations while others built mansions. Nkrumah’s family was literally broke when he left power. Some of his children have not forgiven him even in death. When espousing historical views, it is only appropriate to put in context the feelings of the time. You cannot pull the letters at comfort and run commentary on historical antecedents most of us were unlikely to have shared in it without the possible triggers. On October 3, 1962, the State newspaper reported that: “NKRUMAH REFUSES TO BE LIFE PRESIDENT”. Interestingly, this was when the Parliament pushed for it. Why the sudden change in 1964 should be your question. Why did Nkrumah backtrack? Something might have necessitated it. No be so? Or he just felt the urge to be? The Ghanaian Times reported in March 1963 that: “BUSIA DIRECTED THE BOMB OUTRAGES”, United Party plotted in Lome to overthrow the Government by force.” Do you get where the one-party State inspiration came from? Since when did political parties become insurrectionist or terrorist groups? If your duty as opposition party is to plot how to overthrow democratically elected government, then you are better off disbanded. Periodt! When impunity becomes the order, destruction becomes law. It may be distasteful but once you choose the path of constitutional disorder for expediency, be prepared to embrace the agony of incineration. Kwame Nkrumah was never a DICTATOR nor DESPOT as some describe him. The situation at the time — corroborated by actions of the opposition, their elements and assigns; and the incessant murder attempts on his life coupled with the sense of urgency to protect and secure his mandate — incipienced the legislative policies such as the monsterous Preventive Detention Act. Nobody, even in private life, loosens their personal security architecture after arm robbers attack. Such person might be a clown. Where the police, military, civil service, etc. were infiltrated with elements of the opposition poisoned in mind to obliterate Nkrumah, his sole reliance on constitutional order would have been his death warrant signed. You may disgaree but looking at the exigencies of the time, he was RIGHT. On debts, it was not all that rosy. Two months before the attainment of independence — January 1957 — there was £25.272M debt bequeathed by the colonial government. We always heard of monies left for us without the side of debt that demanded amortization. How could there have been the numerous projects such as schools, factories, roads, hospitals, banks, housing, hotels, etc. without loan? What happened to these critical investments after his oustion? The man who never had any assets in his name cannot be bad and greedy. Look at those who came after him. For goodness sake, the man only had proper rule from 1960-1966. History is clear: Nkrumah invested in Ghana, not a personal fortune. He built nations, not family bank accounts. His assets? While some later chose self-enrichment, he chose sacrifice. Let’s not confuse legacy with loot. If self-enrichment is the benchmark for greatness, then, indeed, Nkrumah was unwise. However, when we evaluate his contributions to nation-building, dignity, and ideological clarity, despite the insecurity he lived in, he emerges as a figure far more distinguished than leaders who traded genuine liberation for mere tea and handshakes with colonisers. History does not celebrate collaborators in the same manner as it venerates visionaries. The discomfort shows how normalized political profiteering has become so much that, when someone does the opposite, we question their intelligence instead of asking why integrity feels so unfamiliar in leadership. It appears political leaders pilfering public coffers for self aggrandizement is so normalized that when a leader doesn’t do it, he is questioned his sense of reasoning. Even a gifted cloth was inscribed as “Property of Ghana”.
