Guys, have you heard about the Atronsu case?
A group of activists, including farmers, were arrested in 2024 for trying to protect the Nana Atronsu Stream from illegal mining.

Since then, the case has been met with adjournment after adjournment, with little apparent progress. #StopGalamseyNow

You can clearly see that the Kwadwo Sheldon and Bongo Ideas template of being condescending toward people and later rebranding, is thriving because we enable it. Today, he has a whole podcast and is being supported simply for saying what people want to hear, but we’re quick to cancel others for much less because they’re not our favorites. At some point, we need to be honest about the hypocrisy and the kind of behavior we reward on this app.

I’m tired of only saying “sorry.”
