We arrested peace yesterday. More gas 🔥

[THE TORCHER @stonebwoy]

To the artiste: @sarkodie

After your RAH show in the UK, I called you the next day to congratulate you and we spoke for 10 minutes+.

After my OVO — you posted the second video on social media... Whatever message you meant to send across, only you can explain.

After I made that factual tweet, I still went ahead to send you a message because you were posting some cryptic stuff.

You called back immediately. I missed it, but I called you back after, and we spoke for more than an hour on industry, behaviors, and perspectives.

You were very clear about how no artiste could be "forced" to uphold any form of principle. That, literally, in our industry, artistes must play along so far as it benefits them, and it cannot matter how, because we all care about different things. Which is evident in Video 1.

Standing on just these 2 videos for now, I believe this tweet of yours has been equally considered. And you will agree that without PRINCIPLE, advice is an OPINION.

I’m a chemist. I need to say this - because it’s getting dangerous out there. The biggest health myth in the world isn’t about vaccines.

Or GMOs. Or fluoride.

It’s the root of all of them.
It’s called chemophobia - and it’s killing science.

Fear of “chemicals” now drives vaccine rejection, GMO bans, food hysteria, and entire political movements.

From tampons to tap water, people have been taught to fear chemistry - the very thing that keeps us alive.

Chemophobia tells us:
“Natural is good.”
“Synthetic is bad.”

That’s a lie.

Botulinum toxin is 100% natural and one of the deadliest molecules known.

Aspirin is synthetic and life-saving.

We’ve gone from banning harmful substances for good reason…to banning safe, well-tested molecules for emotional reasons.

You’ve seen the slogans:

“If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it.”
“Paraben-free.”
“Clean beauty.”

They sound empowering. But they’re not science - they’re marketing.

And they’re making the world dumber, poorer, and sicker.

Your body doesn’t care if a molecule comes from a plant or a lab.
Vitamin C is vitamin C.

Formaldehyde is formaldehyde and your body makes more of it every day than any vaccine ever could.

Dose matters. Source doesn’t.
This fear isn’t harmless.

It shapes public policy.
It blocks innovation.
It raises food prices.
It slows down cancer treatments.

Chemophobia is now mainstream and it’s costing lives.

Scientists aren’t losing because we’re wrong. We’re losing because fear spreads faster than facts.

Because influencers sell fear for clicks. Because lawyers monetize doubt.

And because scientists are too tired to fight back. So here’s my message, as a chemist and as a citizen:

Learn how toxicology works.
Call out chemical fear-mongering.
Support policies based on evidence, not emotion.

Chemistry isn’t the enemy.
It’s the reason you have clean water, safe food, and modern medicine.

If we let fear win, we lose all of it.

I was graciously hosted by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Ukraine earlier today.

We held fruitful discussions focused on Ghana’s appeal on humanitarian grounds for the release of two of our citizens being held as prisoners of war in Ukraine.

Our bilateral talks explored how our two countries can effectively combat the threat posed by trafficking networks who lure vulnerable unsuspecting youth from Africa only to end up risking their lives in the ongoing war.

I am optimistic that we shall be successful in our negotiations.

I have conveyed the gratitude of President Mahama and the Government of Ghana to President Zelenskyy for ensuring that the rights of our citizens being held are protected as required under international law.

We further agreed to deepen our relations with strategic interventions outlined in agriculture, defence, education and trade.

President Zelenskyy has extended a formal invitation to President Mahama as Kyiv seeks to elevate its diplomatic ties with Accra.

Every Ghanaian life matters to the Mahama Administration.

For God and Country 🇬🇭 🙏🏾

Wa checke ahwe ? 💔

I watched the video of Cassiel Ato Forson in a meeting with customs officers and something about his body language told me this was not business as usual. He was not reading from notes. He was looking them in the eye, and you could feel the weight in that room.

But then I saw the footage from the border and it hit different. He did not stay behind the desk. He drove to Akanu and Aflao himself. Walked the ground. Looked at those impounded trucks with his own two eyes. That image stayed with me long after the video ended.

Here is what went down. Wednesday night, the Ghana Revenue Authority intercepted eighteen articulated trucks on the Eastern Corridor. The paperwork said they were carrying goods to Niger. Nearly 880,000 kilograms of cargo. All signed and sealed. But intelligence picked up something fishy. These trucks were moving without the mandatory Customs Human Escorts. Nobody was watching them. And that was not an accident.

Twelve trucks are now impounded. One overturned trying to escape, spilling everything on the road. Six are still out there.

Now brace yourselves. The declared duties on that cargo were assessed at GHS 2.6 million. That is what the system believed was leaving our coffers. But when inspectors actually dug into those trucks, the lies unraveled fast. Wrong values. Wrong classifications. Wrong weights. All deliberately understated. The real revenue exposure after the truth came out? GHS 85.3 million.

Read that again. Eighty-five million.

That is not a paperwork error. That is theft. That is someone looking at Ghana and deciding their personal gain matters more than our collective future. I sat with that number and translated it into real things. Classrooms without furniture. Hospital beds without equipment. Roads farmers have begged to have fixed for years. That is what GHS 85 million could have been. And someone nearly took it from us.

But here is the part that stings deepest. The Minister pointed to systemic control weaknesses and human complicity. Let me translate that too. Our own people helped. Customs officers, the very men and women stationed at those posts to protect Ghana's revenue, looked the other way. They let those trucks roll without escorts. They signed off on false declarations. They chose their pocket over their country. That kind of betrayal stays with you.

The minister has now banned the land transit of cooking oil entirely. Tightened monitoring at every land collection point. Ordered criminal prosecution for everyone involved. From the clearing agents who cooked the books to the officers who sold their oath for a price. Good. Let the law swallow them whole.

But I will be honest. The sadness has not lifted. Eighteen trucks on one corridor. One bill of entry. This was not desperate men taking a chance. This was organised. Sophisticated. And it nearly worked.

We spend so much time talking about loans and foreign investment like Ghana's future depends entirely on what others give us. But the truth is, our future is also being decided at dusty border posts in the middle of the night. By men and women choosing between their integrity and their greed. By officers who forget that every cedi lost is a child's education stolen, a mother's healthcare delayed, a nation's progress slowed.

This time they were caught. The GHS 85 million stays ours.

But I keep thinking about all the nights before this one. All the trucks that slipped through. All the revenue that bled into private pockets while the rest of us wondered why development feels so slow.

The fight for Ghana is not only in Parliament. It is at Akanu. At Aflao. In the hearts of every officer who wears that uniform. And in the willingness of every citizen to care about what happens when nobody is watching.

PUBLIC STATEMENT

Fire Incident at Sofoline

I have been informed of a fire incident this evening at Sofoline. The Ghana National Fire Service, supported by other security agencies, is currently on the ground working diligently to bring the situation under control.

I urge members of the public to remain calm and to fully cooperate with emergency responders by giving them the needed space to operate. Citizens are also advised to follow all safety instructions and avoid the immediate area to prevent any further risk.
