The racist, dehumanising remarks against @KMbappe by Paraguayan Sen. Celeste Amarilla are despicable, regrettably not isolated.

States & sports organisations must prevent acts of racism & discrimination, and ensure independent and effective accountability. Social media must also prevent and address racial discrimination on their platforms.

[Ghana Presidency @GhanaPresidency]

President John Dramani Mahama has extended a message of solidarity and encouragement to the Black Stars ahead of Ghana's opening match against Panama at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The President reaffirmed that the Government and people of Ghana stand firmly behind the national team as they begin their fifth FIFA World Cup campaign, urging the players to represent the nation with courage, unity, and pride.

President Mahama also called on Ghanaians in Toronto and across North America to serve as the team's "12th Man," while assuring citizens at home that official television broadcast rights have been secured to ensure nationwide access to every Black Stars match.

"Play for the flag. Play for the children dreaming of greatness in your footsteps."

Go Black Stars!

Agriculture (of which cocoa is a subsection) contributions Ghana's GDP has steeply decline since early 2000s. You might wonder the insignificance of those social studies statement 'Agriculture is the backbone of the economy.'

[StatsGH @StatsGH]

Professor Godfred Bokpin said Ghana’s cocoa sector has shown decline signs for years with gold now a more important source of foreign exchange.

AFRICA… Listen carefully!

Opening our countries for every country in the world to come and sell to us at any price, any quantities in a manner that kills our local producers will continue to keep us underdeveloped and poor

Pls protect local producers

Hallucinogenic fabric. I was given a colourful and fantastical length of kente cloth from a U.N. diplomat from Ghana, and rather than make a shirt or something, I framed a large piece and hang it on the wall. This is art, surely.

Taxes on goods and services (indirect or sales tax) as of 2026 are:
GetFund Levy=2.5
NHIL =2.5
VAT=15
Total=20
Any additional line besides the above is simply illegal.

[Torgbuigà @Mr_Ceyram]

VAT on goods is now 20% flat instead of 4%?

[JoyNews @JoyNewsOnTV]

Dr. Ato Forson, while in opposition, stated that he would ensure cocoa farmers received 70% of the FOB price(world market price)

Today, he is paying farmers about 90% of the FOB. Unfortunately, the world market price has declined.

@Joe_Jackson_GH Will chelsea win the league?

No, it wouldn't, but it domentrates that if soldiers fail to stay at the barracks, nobody will glorify their treasonous acts.

@KwekuOA The size of an economy is extremely important, but it is also needless, especially the workforce remains poor.

@ScholarshipfPhd Hi

[Isaac Quartson @IQuartson]

The economy is as better as those who run it.

[JoyNews @JoyNewsOnTV]

Ghana's economic fortune so far, is tied to the IMF program and the windfall, not necessarily due to any re-engineering of the economy - Afenyo-Markin

As you eloquently put it? Ghana would have gained a lot, right? It appears you know something that we "Ghanaians" don't know. Now, can you tell us how much would have accrued to state (Ghana) per your projects?

[Kow Essuman @kaessuman]

The gold price when Asaase Royalties (later Agyapa Royalties) was birthed and ready to be listed on the London Stock Exchange was approximately $1,300. There was a strong appetite for the listing, with over $750m to be raised by floating 49% of the shares on the stock exchange, while Ghana still retains its majority shareholding.

Today, the gold price is almost $5,000. Now, just imagine how much money would have been flowing into our economy if Agyapa Royalties had been listed on the LSE, GSE, and other stock exchanges, alongside the work that GoldBod is doing. Sadly, we will never know. That is what happens when petty politics and personal interest override the national interest. A vision that is good for our country should not be killed because we want personal interests, including political interests, to override the national interest.

Africa's traditional science differs greatly from Newton's law, and Einstein's computation; quantum physics can't measure the speed of it effect.

iShowSpeed experienced African traditional science for the first time in Benin. He saw masquerades moving and was shocked when he realized there was no one inside. He even called it a robot. 😂😭
