New episode out this week. 📌 https://t.co/2SkvRO4IQJ
Ghanaian kid from Presec gets into MIT. Finishes his degree in CS, says he’s going to work at Google.
The normal reaction I expected was “oh congratulations”.
But no. Lmfao cmon
The most dangerous thing that can happen to a people is not poverty. It is when poverty becomes normal to them.
When bad roads become normal, we stop demanding better.
When hospitals have no beds, we call it “Ghana.”
When young people graduate and sit home for years, we blame them for not hustling enough.
When floods destroy lives every year, we say “that is how Accra is.”
When leaders fail, we defend them because they belong to our side.
That is how a nation slowly loses its anger.
And when people lose their anger against failure, failure becomes comfortable.
Ghana does not need more excuses. Ghana needs citizens who are tired enough to stop clapping for mediocrity, defending incompetence, and accepting suffering as culture.
A country does not change because people complain. A country changes when people finally refuse to be managed like they are powerless.
Everybody talks about success but very few people talk enough about the questions, pressure, fear, and survival that come before it.
Ko-Jo Cue opens up about purpose, family struggles, chasing music, morality, money, and the reality of trying to build a life from almost nothing.
If NPP starts it, NDC must make it look bad. If NDC starts it, NPP must make it look useless. Then we pretend to be shocked when every government abandons what the last one began. Ghana is not underdeveloped by accident.
This NITA bill may have accidentally done one useful thing, that’s unite a significant part of Ghana’s tech ecosystem across generations around a common cause.
I hope this advocacy becomes bigger than just this moment.
Because the next time there’s policy nonsense to push back against, or something worth collectively fighting for, we shouldn’t have to build the coalition from scratch.
A stronger unified front should come out of this.
A minister went live on national television, visibly excited that he had finally found a “gotcha moment” against ordinary Ghanaians.
Why? Because a draft bill was published on the ministry’s official website, then quietly revised four different times through closed-door meetings without properly communicating any of those changes to the public.
After that, he confidently says: “The old bill is dead. You people are online criticizing a dead bill. You don’t have the updated bill.” As if secrecy, poor communication, and public confusion are achievements.
You are pushing 15 digital bills that will affect millions of citizens, businesses, creators, and young people, yet the public engagement has been chaotic from the beginning. Instead of transparency, accountability, and respect, citizens are being mocked on live TV for reacting to the only version they were officially given access to.
Leadership is not a game of catching citizens off guard. If people are confused, the failure is in communication, not in the public asking questions. This is not it.
Ghana is failing us.
