Nine months after the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources revoked the lease of a licensed mining company in Prestea-Huni Valley, the mine is now being fully operated by a group of illegal miners connected to the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Led by Ebenezer Amemegakpor, an NDC activist in the Prestea-Huni Valley Constituency, the illegal miners took over RMG Mining Company’s Apinto concession in March 2025 after National Security stormed the underground mine.

FROM VOLUNTEERISM TO INNOVATION
🌍♻️ What began as a simple commitment to serve our communities has grown into a bold step toward sustainable impact. We successfully piloted the first edition of our Turning Plastic Waste into Pavement Blocks initiative, proving that collective action can transform environmental challenges into lasting solutions.
Every bottle collected, every hand that volunteered, and every block produced tells a story of purpose, collaboration, and hope. This is more than a project—it’s a journey of creating cleaner communities, empowering young people, and building a future where waste becomes opportunity.
The journey continues, and this is only the beginning.
A HISTORIC MOMENT FOR BUZSTOPBOYS! 🚀♻️
FROM PLASTIC WASTE TO PURPOSE.
Today, we proudly celebrate a milestone that once seemed like a dream. Buzstopboys has successfully produced its very first recycled product from plastic waste collected from our environment.
This is more than a product. It is proof that with vision, commitment, and collective action, waste can become opportunity and pollution can become possibility.
POWERED ENTIRELY BY VOLUNTEERS.
Every cleanup, every bag of plastic collected, every hour invested, and every step that led to this achievement has been driven by people who simply chose to serve. No one was paid to make this happen. It is the result of selfless volunteers who believe that protecting our environment is everyone's responsibility.
THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.
Today, we celebrate a recycled product. Tomorrow, we build a movement that transforms communities, creates opportunities, and inspires a new generation to see waste not as an end, but as the beginning of something valuable.
To every volunteer, partner, supporter, and believer in our mission-this victory belongs to you.
WE DON'T JUST CLEAN OUR ENVIRONMENT. WE CREATE ITS FUTURE.
The journey continues.
WE'RE GOING TO THE WORLD CUP! 🌍🇬🇭
This is surreal, the Black Maidens hold their nerve to edge out Senegal in penalties.

Someone who works on the Kwadzo Sheldon went on a show to say “girls must be blamed for sexual assault/rape”
They released on apology video and that was it. Ghanaians have moved and still watching the channel even though she still works there!!
This is outrageous #notherfault
@NanaKwame_off Why are the doctors or nurses still in working in the hospital? Have they been sued for negligence?
Nothing would change if people and institutions are not held liable for their actions.
The law needs to start working in Ghana. What are the law firms in Ghana doing?
Ghana government is always so quick to blame other people with no accountability to the leaders. Who is allowing residents to build in water logged areas?
Who is in charge of ensuring proper structures are put up?
People are never held accountable #ghana@JDMahama
You had lots of money to evacuate people from South Africa. There is currently a flood with multiple people and properties displaced, so where is the help?
What are you doing to prevent this from happening?
Where is the relief for the hundreds of people currently without homes?
The amount of rainfall recorded today is among the highest experienced in several years. Preliminary data indicates that approximately 140 millimetres of rain fell on Accra. By comparison, the highest single-day rainfall recorded last year was about 56 millimetres.
That aspect of the problem is beyond our control because it is driven by changing climatic conditions. There is the issue of human behaviour.
Whenever government begins removing structures built in waterways, some people accuse us of being inhumane. Yet when disasters such as today's flooding occur, the consequences affect everyone. The irresponsible actions of a few individuals end up putting entire communities at risk.
If people are building in waterways, who gave them permits? Who looked away? Who failed to demolish illegal structures before floods came? Citizens may break the law but government is paid to stop lawlessness before it becomes disaster. This government is failing us!
My position on flooding will never change.
It is not enough to keep blaming ordinary people.
There’s this constant narrative that Ghanaians are the cause of all our own problems, but that ignores a critical part of the story.
We have institutions whose job it is to enforce planning regulations, prevent illegal developments, protect waterways, ensure proper waste disposal and act before disasters happen.
When they fail to do that, the consequences are borne by all of us .
Yes, individual responsibility matters. But so does institutional responsibility.
It is really unfair to reduce a complex problem to, “Ghanaians are the cause of their own suffering,” when there are systems that were created precisely to prevent these failures.
I won’t lie, years ago I probably held that same simplistic view. But the more I’ve learned, the more my perspective has evolved.
Flooding is rarely the result of one person’s actions, it’s the ripple effect of years of weak enforcement, poor planning, institutional failure, and individual irresponsibility.
Until we’re willing to hold EVERYONE accountable, not just the public, we’ll keep having the same conversation every rainy season.
I agree with you. There is a lack of accountability and no consequences for breaking the law.
What is the government doing about officials who “sell” lands that shouldn’t be sold? There are people working in land commission who help citizens break the law.
You can’t continue blaming citizens when there are people working in your own government that are slowing these things to happen?
@JDMahama Do better!!!!!! People need to be penalized for breaking the law.
People should be held accountable for their actions

Mr. President @JDMahama, you cannot blame citizens for not obeying laws while refusing to blame the people whose job is to enforce those laws. That is like blaming drivers for speeding when police, cameras, road signs, and penalties are all missing. We didn’t vote for speeches. We voted for solutions. If citizens are breaking the law, enforce the law. If gutters are choked, clear them. If buildings are in waterways, remove them. Governance is action, not commentary.

So, the MCE for Ayawaso North, has given residents just six weeks to vacate their homes so the area can be demolished to make way for a 24-hour economy market. You're displacing about 7,000 people, yet there are no clear relocation or resettlement plan in place. How is this fair to the affected residents? @GhanaPresidency@FelixKwakyeOfo1 please this needs an urgent redress
I am trying to reach a friend who lives in Accra to know that she is SAFE and I have tried repeatedly without success
Please RETWEET so anyone close to her as a work colleague or know her will try and reach her and get back to me
Her name is Keziah Nana Yaa Agyeiwaa
We have to come together as a country and make some tough decisions about how to stop these floods!
Each year it’s getting worse.
Children can’t dance in the rain anymore, we all run for shelter, even cars aren’t safe.
What people don’t know is that boys are equally molested in our schools everyday.
You think it’s only the girl child at risk so when these conversations come up, your immediate reaction is to trivialize it.
Even worse is when it’s a female teacher with a little boy, you think it’s “cool”.
Until you hear how male teachers are equally abusing boys, that’s when you get fired up.
SMH 🤦🏾♀️
