Bayward Sung 🇬🇭🇬🇧

@KluMathew28468 @S_OkudzetoAblak Chale this sounds crazy - lots of fixing needed there, perhaps!

@ChanceBayward @S_OkudzetoAblak Bro like 90% of the black south Africans live in shacks ooo

I told Ghanaians in South Africa, “your government has got you.” Looking forward to welcoming our compatriots to Ghana this week. For God and Country 🇬🇭 🙏🏾

@RedBeard_AE @I_Am_AWWESOME @MarioNawfal @ing_Kaay Yeah, even less than that!

@ChanceBayward @I_Am_AWWESOME @MarioNawfal @ing_Kaay So it's covering more like 10%.

🇹🇷🇬🇭 A single Turkish ship anchored off Ghana's coast generates over a quarter of the country's electricity. The MV Karadeniz Powership Osman Khan is 299 meters long and pumps out up to 480 MW of power. It has been doing this since 2017. No power plant to build. No years of construction delays. Karpowership, the Turkish private company behind it, has quietly turned this model into a global business, deploying floating plants to countries with chronic energy deficits across Africa and beyond. Africa has an infrastructure gap that traditional investment has failed to close for decades. Turkey found a way to monetize that gap with engineering.

@hakeemhak11 @MarioNawfal Good point but that is just our demand. The total generation capacity even when the Hydro component fluctuates at any material time is usually greater than 5000MW

@MarioNawfal This account can lie, errh… always half-truths. Ghana’s energy needs are 4,000+ megawatts, so how could only Karpowership, with just 480 MW, be the solution? Ghana doesn’t depend on only one source of power; they try as much as possible to diversify the energy sector

@I_Am_AWWESOME @MarioNawfal @ing_Kaay You are right, Ghana’s energy generation capacity is over 5700MW so 480MW cannot be “over a quarter” by any mathematical reasoning.

@MarioNawfal @ing_Kaay Karpower realy helps but does NOT generate a over quarter of our electricity .. our demands are close to 5000MW .. the math wont math

@zanele_matl @barkervogues There cannot be a better failed state than one where citizens, and not the police or legitimate law enforcement authorities, are responsible for arresting or punishing (suspected) criminals.

@barkervogues Yall like to victimize yourself... Why are not address South Africans cries that your fellow brothers are criminals and animals. Clearly Drugs and trafficking is a normal thing for you because we can see how messed up your countries are... NO AU can stop what's happening now

South Africans have been attacking Nigerians for years. No proper actions from Nigerian officials. South Africans confront one Ghanaian. We summoned their ambassador and we have escalated the issue to be put on AU’s agenda! This is Ghana we deserve. 24/7! Can we make Ablakwa Prime Minister? The Foreign Ministry is becoming too small for him la.

@AfricaFactsZone @Maaweh_mR Some of the comments look like sarcasm to me. SA has been saying that the Afrophobia attacks are to evict illegals from so-called ‘failed countries’. I can’t imagine a better failed state than the one where the citizens take the laws into their own hands…the thuggery must stop😑

Ghana has reported South Africa to the African Union (AU) over xenophobic attacks. The country has asked the AU to discuss the repeated, ongoing xenophobic attacks on African migrants.

I've spent my whole life trying to understand why Africa is the poorest region in the world. Low IQ. Malnutrition. Lack of education. Colonialism. Racism. Laziness.  I've heard every explanation. None of them made sense. If it’s colonialism, why was Ethiopia (never colonized) for a long time the poster child for African poverty? Why was Botswana, which was colonized, one of the best performers in Africa? And why is Singapore richer than its former colonizer? If it's lack of education, why are half of African university graduates unemployed? Why were math degrees from Eswatini raising chickens before we hired them to teach at our virtual school? The real answer is something nobody wants to talk about:

I know I’m not good at understanding nuanced statements but I just hope you are not insinuating that the Papal visit to Algeria was to spite Trump. That would amount to a grave and unfortunate misunderstanding of how Papal visits work as these trips are planned in advance - it would look be very bad on the Pope to cancel his missionary trips to appease DJT.

🇺🇸🇻🇦 The day after Trump called him "WEAK on Crime" and "terrible for Foreign Policy," Pope Leo XIV walked into the Grand Mosque in Algiers. The first American pope, attacked by an American president, responded by visiting a Muslim house of worship in Africa. The message wasn't subtle and it probably wasn't meant to be.

@JonBenjamin19 @Opresii 😂😂

@Opresii Keep heading on in the same direction and you’ll end up in Nigeria where you can make a fortune teaching them how to prepare proper jollof rice.

If Mahama doesn’t cancel this and allow Africans to flood Ghana I’ll leave to Togo 🇹🇬

@fourthestategh I’m from the upper west region and last used that road in Jan 2025 where I vowed not to travel to my home region again until the road is done. I think the sole sourcing was even slow, they should have signed a certificate of emergency and made the military engineers start work.

@barkervogues @Maaweh_mR @Manasseh_Azure Very valid arguments, kudos for this enlightening thread 👍

Letter to my dear Bongo Brother! 1. This letter is addressed to my brother Manasseh Azure Awuni (@Manasseh_Azure). But in truth it is intended to be read by all interested in the conversations evoked by his recent writings. 2. Precisely because of that wider target audience, I apologize in advance. For my writing will be a little dense and perhaps too academic for how I usually write on social media. 3. For all who follow me; you know that I try to separate my academic work from how I engage here because I want to carry along the most amount of people when I write. Many say they appreciate how I make law accessible. 4. But issues at hand beget their own manner of responding. The issues are at once academic and dense, so forgive. 5. Manasseh is correct. Correct in that African merchant involvement as middlemen in this barbaric enterprise must be catalogued and be part of the broader reparations conversation. 6. Now in having that conversation we must do so to educate and enlighten so we can better acknowledge how we too repair. YES ! WE TOO MUST REPAIR! 7. My worry however, is that we must be careful that we do not tether too closely to the ever regressive argument which holds that the participation of African merchants and polities in the transatlantic slave trade somehow negates or dilutes the moral and legal case for holistic repair. 8. Still, this line of reasoning which many find in your writing, deserves serious engagement, because it touches on genuine historical complexity. Yet, I find that it ultimately rests on a conflation of complicity with causation; or worse, it conflates moral imperfection with an imposed forfeiture of justice. 8. Now, let us be precise about what the historical record shows. Yes, African rulers, merchants, and intermediaries participated in the capture and sale of enslaved persons. 9. This is neither new scholarship nor a suppressed truth. It has been extensively documented by historians from Walter Rodney to Toyin Falola. The question is not whether this happened. The question here is what follows from it, legally and morally. 10. This is what I feel you address inelegantly, if at all! 11. Consider an instructive parallel. During the Holocaust, some Jews run the Jüdischer Ordnungsdienst, Jewish police units in the ghettos tasked with maintaining order and, in some cases, facilitating deportations to extermination camps. 12. The moral anguish of that role has been the subject of profound reflection, from Hannah Arendt’s controversial treatment of the Judenräte to more recent and more sympathetic scholarship recognising the impossible conditions under which these individuals operated. And yet no serious person has ever suggested that the existence of the Ordnungsdienst undermines the case for Holocaust reparations, restitution, or even the basic moral claim that what was done to the Jewish people constituted an unparalleled crime. 13. The reason is straightforward: the system was not designed, or imposed, by its victims, even where some among the victimised were drawn into its machinery as key players. 14. The same structural logic applies to the transatlantic trade. The system of racialised chattel slavery that defined the Atlantic world from the sixteenth century onward was conceived, financed, legislated, and enforced by European powers and their colonial successors. 15. The legal architecture of the Code Noir, the Slave Codes of the British Caribbean and the American South, the asientos, the joint-stock companies chartered by European crowns: none of this originated in Africa. African participation occurred within a system whose terms, prices, destinations, and ultimate purposes were determined by external demand. 16. To put it bluntly, treating the middleman as the architect is to confuse a distorted market response with the market’s creation.

@barkervogues Awesome 👏

Ghana won!

@eddie_wrt He thinks we are some fools anaa? By what logic does HE JDM using his brother’s private jet amount to his brother acting as president? We have so many issues in this country they can engage our minds on as an opposition party not these pedestrian tactics, it will fail flat!!!!

“President Mahama’s brother is acting as president. We have to make Mahama understand that he is the President of Ghana, and that his brother is not the president and should stay away from his private jet.” - NPP Director of Communications, Richard Ahiagbah

@SaddickAdams 😂😂😂

Someone’s sending you money, a gift and you say person should add charges. Some people are just mad.

@iambixzy @tv3_ghana I’m not sure you heard her right. She said ´The population of Ghana is just the population of Lagos’. I even used ‘Lagos state’ which comprises Metropolitan Lagos, suburban areas and other localities within the ‘state of Lagos’. That said, by what logic is 17.8m almost 35m?

@ChanceBayward @tv3_ghana She use the word almost .

“Ghana’s population is almost the same as Lagos alone. Nigeria has the numbers, and South Africa has both the numbers and high production quality. When you work in South Africa, you see how seriously they take production — they even have a whole warehouse just for costumes.” - @julietibrahim #TheAfternoonShow #TV3GH

@SIKAOFFICIAL1 We need to support important reforms in the country. For so long we have complained why people willing to serve the nation in the security forces had to pay bribes or have ‘connections’. If there’s now a merit-based approach to the recruitment process then we should welcome it.
