This not an apology, we know what these guys can do! He must be picked up and charged.
@GhPoliceService pick this moron up for questioning, we must know how and why those irresponsible comments were made.
These Wahabiya’s must stay far away from microphones. Nigeria had their share, we won’t tolerate it in Ghana.
Worrying: Illegal miners have taken over sections of the Atewa Forest. The forest holds water for at least 6 million Ghanaians, disaster awaits if they are not stopped.
The mine is owned by an Australian company. Half the output is already locked in for an American company that had deals with Tesla and LG Chem.
Ghana gets between 5% and 12% in royalties. Right now because prices are low Ghana is getting 5%.
3.6 million tonnes of lithium leaving Ghana over 12 years.
The farmers near the site were told to stop planting 3 years ago because they would be resettled. Nobody has paid them a cedi yet.
Over the past year, We've been noticing a pattern where children present to the hospital with END STAGE KIDNEY DISEASES AND CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASES. They had no risk factors
Funny thing is, the kidney size doesn't shrink like it does in regular ESKD. The size is normal but all the kidney tissues are fried.
WHAT DO THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON??
They all Live in the Mining areas, specifically Tarwka and it's surroundings.
WE REALLY NEED TO CONTROL THIS GALAMSEY THING AND FAST!!...IT'S KILLING US

I contemplated suicide today, about 30mins ago while making iftar; anything but not this life I'm living right now. Today is my birthday, and I just hate that I'm existing, I even thought for a while how big the offense I committed against God is that warrants this much hardship
“What is causing the problem because if it is the lifestyle they’re very young” Can we all stop pretending like the pollution of our waterbodies with mercury and other chemicals is not contributing to the alarming rise in kidney cases within the country? We all know that children are largely affected because their organs ie kidneys and livers are not fully developed making it harder for their bodies to process harmful substances like mercury. This is why it’s imperative for our government to sack and prosecute political actors that are enabling illegal mining because they’re contributing to the pollution of our waterbodies. #StopGalamseyNow
Ghanaians, 2030 is just four years away. It has been predicted that by then we may be forced to import water if the destruction of our water bodies continues. Today, private water tankers already charge GH₵800–GH₵1,200 just to fill a household tank. If this becomes the norm, will the average Ghanaian truly be able to afford imported water? And for those who do not have poly tanks at home and rely on daily access to tap water?
And this will not only affect the water you bathe with. It will affect the water you drink, cook with, wash your clothes with, and irrigation of crops. After when water becomes scarce and expensive, food prices will rise and sanitation will be difficult to control. There is already cholera and typhoid outbreaks in communities that are struggling to get access to clean water. This is already a reality. It is easy to spread in places were sanitation is poor. Why aren’t you concerned? #StopGalamseyNow
Ghana:
1. Some vendors add paracetamol to beans to cook them faster.
2. Palm oil is mixed with paint; palm wine with DDT.
3. Frying plantain with plastic with a side of E. coli.
4. Food and water contain arsenic, lead and mercury.
5. Expired dates are reprinted on products.
