When Lee Kuan Yew moved Singaporeans from huts to high rises, people were urinating in the elevators. Instead of saying it was a problem of indiscipline, he installed hidden cameras, urine detectors, fines and community service penalties. Make of that what you will
South Africans are funny. There is no fake love between Ghana and Nigeria, we banter always. Ghanaians drag Nigerians, Nigerians drag Ghanaians. Any country that tries to drag either country we will come together and cook them together 👍🏾
Ghana's swift and responsible intervention should now be better appreciated by the critics who accused us of overreacting and moving in too quickly to save our citizens.
The Mahama Administration does not gamble with the precious lives of Ghanaians.
We convey our deepest and sincerest condolences to the Government and people of Mozambique on the loss of five of their nationals due to the ongoing xenophobic attacks as confirmed by the Mozambican Government.
No African should ever be killed by fellow Africans on African soil.
May these condemnable acts never quench our Pan-African resolve for true African unity, full integration, free movement, common market and significant intra-African trade as Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah pioneered and sacrificed greatly for.
If you see a well constructed rammed earth building anywhere in Africa, there is a strong chance a Ghanaian architect or engineer had something to do with it. Ghana has long proven how serious she is with this material.
The Falcon Cinema is the latest proof. Berekuso, Ghana. Studio NEiDA. Commissioned by film curator Jacqueline Nsiah. Expected completion 2027.
A purpose built cinema and cultural archive dedicated entirely to African film. Four buildings arranged around a courtyard drawn from Asante compound architecture. Earth materials throughout. Thatched palm leaf roof. A roof assembly that channels rainwater into the central courtyard and allows hot air to escape without mechanical cooling. The main cinema is an outdoor planted amphitheatre. Construction waste will be repurposed into the courtyard seating landscape.
250 and 150 seat screening rooms. A restaurant. An archive. An education hub. An outdoor cinema. Future filmmaker residencies planned.
A cinema of this scale generates consistent employment, attracts filmmakers, scholars, and tourists, and creates a market for local businesses around it. African film reels are currently scattered across institutions around the world, many never seen on the continent they came from. This building brings them home and builds the industry pipeline to train the next generation of African filmmakers on African soil.

Ghana launches an e-Visa and charges $260 for single entry.
Rwanda: $50. Kenya: $34. Togo: $40. Senegal: free.
We digitised the process but tripled the price. That’s not progress, that’s a barrier.
Rich Ghanaian parents pay $18,000 a year at DPS International. $16,000 at Tema International School. Why?
Because their kids do the IB Diploma. SATs. Strong English. Strong essays. So they go straight to Harvard, MIT, Yale, Cornell on full scholarships.
Meanwhile, a brilliant kid in Kasoa, Tamale, or Ho is doing WASSCE thinking the best he can hope for is Legon or KNUST.
Same brain. Different information.
The rich kids aren’t smarter than you. They just had parents who knew the game.
Here’s the truth nobody tells you:
You don’t need DPS. You don’t need TIS. You don’t need rich parents.
I sold sachet water in Ghana. I went to Berea College on a full scholarship. Now I’m a software engineer in Dallas.
My friends from humble homes did it too. From WASSCE straight to top US universities. Full ride.
The system was hidden from us. Not from them.
https://t.co/pursEFinfC exists so the kid in the village has the same map as the kid in East Legon.

The Government of Ghana is reportedly planning to sponsor about 800 members of the official Supporters’ Union for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
However, instead of flying thousands of fans from Ghana, authorities will focus on purchasing match tickets for Ghanaians already living in the United States, Canada and Mexico, where the tournament will be held.
With travel costs estimated at nearly $11,000 per fan, the strategy is aimed at reducing costs while maximizing support for the Black Stars.
I am seeing the cost of wedding and I am shocked 🤣🤣 cos we spent 50,000cedis (everything inclusive)
I mean do you 🤣 but 600,000cedis on a wedding is not normal
600 more Ghanaians register at our High Commission to be evacuated from South Africa.
When the safety and dignity of Ghanaians are at stake, the Government of Ghana does not compromise or dither.
I am immensely proud of the resilient spirit of Ghanaians.
See you soon -- there's no place like home.
For God and Country 🇬🇭 🙏🏾
"I say on authority that 80% of the Ghanaians who were evacuated from S.A were documented. The immigration officer who put out that statement told us he will retract and apologise after we confronted him. It has been days now and we haven't heard anything so we will put our facts out. The evacuees had work permit extention slips given to them by the South African government while awaiting the renewal of their work permit. That slip can allow you to go to O.R Thambo, buy a ticket, fly to Ghana and come back because it is a legal document that we've had over the years." . - H.E Ben Quashie. Ghana's Hig Commissioner to South Africa. #TheKeyPoints #TV3GH
I hosted my very first Brunch Club IN LONDON with a Caribbean Restaurant, Soul mama❤️🇬🇧. My goal was simple, to fuse Ghanaian and Caribbean cuisine and culture together. It's surprising how our cuisines and cultures are very similar!
In this case Vetting is a deep dive background check to minimize citizenship fraud because other Africans in fear of xenophobia might claim to be Ghanaians too and though we’re all part of the African community, for now, we’re prioritizing our citizens.
This is a polite response on the assumption that you didn’t know what vetting seeks to achieve.
