Africans are very good people, maybe, for once we shouldn’t force our stuff on them, they’ve clearly shown sign of distaste for LGBTQ , let’s not try to intimidate and force them to accept what they despise, they’ve not forced their stuff on us, so let’s not do so to them.

My friends in Ghana are sounding the alarm about the local currency's volatility, citing unpredictable hourly fluctuations that threaten their business stability. With many threatening to shut down their businesses, pull out their investment and exit the country.

I saw this book making rounds online, i have read through the pages but page 59 is damning! This can never happen in the western world, the president of Ghana dashing out Ghana’s natural resources to his brother?

I convinced a friend from the USA to invest in Ghana, he traveled Ghana for prospecting, with plans to establish a factory. However, after experiencing frequent power outages, he changed his mind & returned to the States, citing the unreliable energy supply as a major deterrent.

Government of Ghana's spokesperson may be raising suspicions about the Airmed flight's stay in Ghana by not providing clear information, they might be fueling speculation and concerns about the flight's activities. Transparency is key in situations like this.

The recent cocaine controversy in Ghana, linked to flights from Gran Canaria and Airmed is troubling, this could affect the trust between Ghana and the west, it would be in the Ghana’s government own interest to launch full investigation into this issue for clarity sake.

Is the president of Ghana promoting crypto and meme coins? This is unbelievable, Ghana would be moving in a very slippery direction with this announcement from the President.

Ghana's “Dumsor” pose a threat to the economy, potentially leading to collapse if left unaddressed. It is already driving foreign investors to neighboring countries.A Canadian friend planned to establish a factory in Ghana but was forced to relocate to Ivory Coast due to “Dumsor”

Recent online reports indicate a worrying trend of mass layoffs affecting African youth in Ghana. The underlying reasons for this phenomenon are unclear. However, the consequences of rising youth unemployment are severe, and Europe may face a surge in asylum seekers as a result.

The newly elected President, John Dramani Mahama’s decision to cut down waste by appointing 60 ministers is in right direction, Africa isn’t broke, it’s about being realistic and decreasing Government’s expenditure by cutting down the size of Government.

I wish the Israel - Arab confrontation is contained, Hezbollah’s ability to strike Israel’s Prime Minister, @netanyahu’s residence opens a new chapter in this war, this shouldn’t be in the interest of anyone, let’s advocate for peace instead of war.

War shouldn’t be in the interest of anyone, both Iran and Israel should disengage, let’s talk peace for once instead of war.

Ghana is doing something positive in Africa, ditching petrol cars for electric ones is the best since it’s cheaper, On average, drivers save about $700 in fuel costs per year while driving electric cars,passengers pay less,it’s environmental friendly as they don’t emit pollutants

I have followed keenly the happenings in Ghana in regard to the arrest of the protestors,I think Ghana Police are more professional than the police here in UK & in the USA,here, you can’t push down police barricades, attack them, take their car key & still be alive,they’ll shoot.

🇫🇷 Pavel Durov said that he was lured to France by President Macron. It turns out that the French president invited Durov to dine together. Pavel told about this during interrogation by the police, the French newspaper Le Canard Chainé claims. But instead of lunch, Durov was met in France by local police. Macron did not officially confirm this. But local politician Florian Philippot said that this was quite in the spirit of the French president. - Remylind23

I have followed African politics from the 90s, I’ve observed how Opposition parties comes in harder with manifestos/campaign messages that offers real solutions to existing problems but, sadly, I’m not seeing that in Ghana’s opposition party, this isn’t giving hope to the voters.
