“If you never stole Ideal Milk from the fridge and sipped some, you probably didn’t grow up in Ghana.”
— President Mahama said as he recalled his childhood memories of Ideal Milk while delivering an address at the inauguration of the evaporated milk production line at the Nestlé Ghana factory.
Good morning, @DennisMiracles.
From your first four words, I can already tell you woke up quite upset. But that’s understandable. I’d probably be upset too if my assets had been frozen and EOCO is chasing me around. But that’s a story for another day. My prayers are with you, my friend. Hopefully, you survive these troubling times.
For your information and, perhaps, a little learning too: according to the Cambridge Dictionary, a fact is “something that is known to have happened or to exist, especially something for which proof exists, or about which there is information.”
With that in mind, facts and evidence are not the same thing, but evidence can support, establish, or substantiate a fact.
It is therefore only logical that when someone presents a number of factual claims, people may ask for the evidence supporting those claims.
For example:
You are not very competent at your job — evidenced by the fact that you led your candidate to what has been described as the largest electoral defeat in Ghanaian history.
You are a major reason the NPP is losing members.
Even at the municipal level, you failed to prove your usefulness, which is why you were sacked.
You are the first person I’ve encountered who campaigned against policies of his own government in an attempt to win an election.
The statements above are claims presented as facts. The attached materials are the evidence being provided to support them.
So when you present facts and someone asks, “What is the evidence?”, that is not a strange question. It is literally how factual claims are tested.

One of the beachfront encroachments is connected with a ruling party boss. Labadi Beach Hotel staff say the facility was meant to be a temporary event location for Year of Return. Now, it permanently blocks hotel residents' view & bellows loud, disturbing, music every weekend.
Labadi Beach Hotel, built in 1991 by Ghana's biggest gold mine, is Gh's most prestigious 5-star beach resort. Since SSNIT, the state pension fund & 100% owner, took over mgmt, political insiders have hijacked the beachfront leaving the hotel with just 2 acres. SSNIT is helpless.
If you save 30,000 cedis a month it will take you at least 30 years to save 1 million dollars. By then you’re already elderly. Many Ghanaians don’t understand monetary value that’s why a fraudster, drug dealer or politician can steal $5-100 million and we take it as casual news
Where Is Nigeria’s President?
The dynamic President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, delivered a remarkable address at the 81st United Nations General Assembly. The international community has commended his leadership and the substance of his address. It is a reminder of what leadership can produce when competence, capacity, compassion, commitment and character come together in the service of a nation.
Against this background, many are asking: Where is the President of Africa’s most populous nation, a country of more than 200 million people - more than Ghana - whose leader has been absent from the global stage for three consecutive UNGAs?
Nigeria’s President, who ought to be representing the country and providing leadership for Africa at the international level, has not attended any of these three global gatherings. Where is he, particularly at a time when the country faces significant challenges, both domestically and internationally?
Although our Vice President, Kashim Shettima, was present, the question remains: Where is the President? Let us continue to pray for his return and for his leadership in addressing the many challenges confronting the nation.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
