@michaelinioluwa George Lucas DID not create Star Wars on his own.

@michaelinioluwa It doesn’t have to do with the product. It’s the fact that the employees are not getting to share in the wealth.
When you look at companies like that- the gap between employee earnings and shareholder earnings.
It is typically significant significant.

When people say, no billionaire has “ethical wealth”? What exactly do they mean?
JK Rowling became a billionaire from writing books. George Lucas made his money from creating Star Wars.
How is any of these unethical?

I wish we can all turn away from money worshipping as a society. Nobody should be aspiring to be a billionaire. No billionaire has ethical wealth. The politicians who are also billionaires are the reasons why you are very poor. They don’t have your interest at heart.

@salim_ango @Joojo_Dontoh And again- of course these aren’t purely socialist countries. That’s why I said “implementing socialist *policies*” and the aversion you have to a key tenet of the success of these socialist leaning countries - taxing the wealthy and redistributing where needed
English
@salim_ango @Joojo_Dontoh Literally some of the richest and happiest countries in the world right now are socialist success stories? Norway, Sweden Finland, Germany, Spain, shall I go on?
English
@salim_ango @Joojo_Dontoh No one is under the illusion that you need a pure socialist country for the country reap benefits from implementing socialist policies.
So no need to argue that point.
English
Interesting take, but let’s ground this in actual history rather than romanticizing it. Yes, Kwame Nkrumah was a staunch socialist, pan-Africanist with heavy state control, nationalization, and big industrialization pushes. But are you familiar with the economic difficulties Ghana faced in the 1960s under him?
Cocoa prices fell, but his policies amplified the pain: massive foreign debt from prestige projects, state enterprises bleeding money, shortages of goods, price controls, inflation, and depleted reserves. By 1966, the economy was in serious trouble which was a key trigger for his overthrow by the military (with popular discontent playing a role).
Ghana’s post-independence ‘backbone’ wasn’t thriving socialism; it was struggling under it, leading to cycles of debt and decline that took decades to recover from.
My broader point: There isn’t a single success story of a purely socialist government anywhere in the world that delivered sustained prosperity, innovation, and freedom without major reforms toward markets.
The USSR collapsed, Venezuela and others tanked, while places like China or Vietnam only took off after ditching hardcore socialism for capitalism/private enterprise.
Socialism appeals to the heart—equality, helping the poor, solidarity. I get the romantic pull, especially in places with inequality or colonial legacies. But in practice, it often ignores incentives, kills competition, and concentrates power badly.
For America particularly: Why change the system that made it the wealthiest, most innovative nation? A system of meritocracy, property rights, competition of ideas, and voluntary exchange that turned a backwater into a superpower lifting billions globally via tech, medicine, and trade.

@ObaaYaaAgyeman2 @_shorshor ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ exactly! Well, at least he’s not with the “dragon feminists” 💀

@_shorshor You’d wake up happy only to find your husband literally insulting u online with back handed compliments…calling it love

@salim_ango @Joojo_Dontoh Meanwhile the things that affect them *TODAY* lack of affordable housing, good affordable transport, etc is because of unfair taxation. Lower income ppl in the UK pay more in taxes than big companies like Starbucks.

@salim_ango @Joojo_Dontoh It’s so interesting when Africans advocate against so called “communist” policies (which are actually socialist). When the backbone of African democracies are built on socialism.
Kwame Nkrumah was a staunch socialist.
we really don’t know our history.

@Joe_brendan_ Respectfully, just no. Americans are the kings and queens of working smart not hard!
They LIVE off of hacks! Period. And know how to play the game!
English
I have worked with Americans.
They are bloody
I almost suspected if they were on something.
I laugh at Nigerians who think they work hard.
Work with Americans you will question your strength.
They are not working from a place of struggling to pay bills, they are working from a place of passion. they are trying to impress themselves.
Its not a mistake that they are leading the AI race with updates from Anthropic & OpenAI dropping every week. No other country can do that apart from China
Americans are on steroids when it comes to work rate. See their Youtubers too

Work ethic is insane. They will out work you.

@S_OkudzetoAblak We need sensible policies not vanity projects. The impact of this tax outweighs the benefits.
Ghanaians are price sensitive. The focus should be decreasing the cost of travel.
English
@S_OkudzetoAblak The benefit of any new airport will be CUT OFF by the shrinking in international trade and travel, by this tax.
This tax isn’t even a percentage of the fare. It is *flat*. Meaning fares have gone up 25% - 30% for the most key routes- Lagos, Abidjan.
#RemovetheAirportTax
English
. @S_OkudzetoAblak it is now *$500* to travel to Abidjan. It costs *$120* to do the same trip in East Africa (Kenya to Tanzania, or Uganda)
This @gh_airports tax is NOT business friendly. We HAVE to make regional travel cheaper for business Esp. In this new multipolar world.
English
@_ShawnieB Please ignore these horrible comments.
Can I elaborate on the don’t build point- look at it as you should be building yourself. Have something for you.
Also the low self confidence men have when they’re not where they want to be? Caustic. Some can turn this onto you
English
The kind of things the average Ghanaian women go through in marriage erh, especially when the man moves from Grass to Grace. Growing up I saw too many living in the barracks. Men are different animals when they see small money
Afia@af_ia_blue
Married women will endure and endure until they can’t no more. One time I started getting visibly angry during a client conference and that’s when I knew I had to stop doing divorce cases just for the sake of my mental health.

They’ve been together since SHS, but some people on this timeline are already painting her as someone who wants to take everything from him in a divorce because he’s rich.
