Capitalism is an amazing phenomenon. It brings you the concept of "new and improved water" from the people who have been making potable water for decades. So when the water wasn't "improved", what were we drinking? 😆

If Hajia4Real is 30, it gives some perspective to why many young Ghanaians feel they are failing at life by 25. I dismiss the complaints but it seems there's a real disease of hopelessness caused by seeing so much glitz on social media, for eg. A public mental health problem.

We have an NPP government that sympathises with an Apartheid Israel with its conquering deeds against the people of Gaza. Do these people appear to be people who will fight colonialists for independence? They wanted a Gold Coast where they alone were powerful. Not independence!

Whenever you talk of how the Christian faith is retarding Ghana's development, you people target the Obinims and Opambuors of this country. Meanwhile, they are not the ones taking state appointments and reaching deals with politicians. It is your "God is good x3" daddies.

There's a Kenyan space with 160k plus listening and President William Ruto present. And a bold Kenyan is asking him, “Do you even care about lives? Someone fucking died.” Again, you can't be doing this in front of Mr Akufo-Addo. You and your mother will do your space😔

Sam George was asked why he was advocating for more monies for MPs and he says detractors have a "poverty mentality". Samira Bawumia allegedly owns a $20k bag and her supporters call those with questions "useless poor people". You see their common enemy? It's you, stupid.

They are not just talking to Ama Governor. They are talking to all of you who seek social justice. For all of you tired of their moral ineptitude, they are sending a warning. Power, by its nature, is vindictive. And vindictiveness doesn't only bark. It bites, for good measure.

Hey y'all. We are trying to make an initial deposit for Emmanuel to secure his place at the University of Derby. He needs to have the cedi equivalent of £3,000 by August 31 to secure his place. School fees itself is £14,700. Help us.

Are you people listening to Joy FM? In 2016, the NDC diverted part of $179 million meant for the health sector into election research for the party. Joy FM investigations also suggest the presidency was aware of this.

There's something called disaster capitalism when the state refuses to prevent/mitigate disaster so that "big men" capitalise on the opportunities in disaster. When galamsey destroys waters, raising costs for Ghana Water, privatisation talk will come up. Guess who gon' buy?

Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe has never been fond of the current Ghanaian president even though they are both NPP men. In 2016, he said Akufo-Addo enjoyed the support of "fascist sycophants". He also warned a President Akufo-Addo would teach Ghanaians a "bitter lesson of leadership".

You wanna combat social injustice by setting up a high council on morality, when you could simply ask 3/4 of the people at the conference to stop using the pulpit and political office to impoverish the masses? Morality may not be subjective but cowardice is murderous.

Too many of you throw the misogyny charge based on who is your friend or which male Twitter celebrity you wanna be friends with. "🤣🤣🤣🤣, Ei you this guy" If you and I were friends, you won't call me a misogynist.

Charles Adu-Boahen is the Harvard educated son of the NPP's first presidential candidate. Remember this when they tell you their upbringing makes them ready to rule. When they tell you Ghana is collapsing thanks to "illiterates" and the poors. @nkquakyi summed this up...

The fact that there are kids of political appointees on the front lines of the protest makes your favourite 23-year-old philanthropist's "silent support" a little more open to critique.
