This was Mensah Sarbah Hall in 2021 when it was flooded. Five years later, we're still grappling with the same challenge. Sigh!

Their generation failed us. They were given so so much and they couldn't even pretend to preserve it. They didnt just close the door behind them, they burned down the room and had the nerve to berate us for not thriving.

@tailorMARIQUE What authorities allow, suddenly becomes a norm. Humans are naturally lawless, and if you can’t be ruthless as a leader, stop dreaming about building a sane society or development

It is an absolute shame that the Christian church in Nigeria has become a platform for thieves, criminals and heartless wicked politicians.

This message here is long long overdue.

Totally agree with Ace’s take on the OSP matter.

Can a court make void ongoing trials of other coordinate courts? Can the High Court, Amasaman make void decisions or trials of the High Court, Adenta?

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.

Real!

[thousand. @oneman1000_]

growing up, moving out, working, getting married and basically living as an adult has made me respect my parents even more because I can’t fathom how they took care of us, took care of themselves, their families, maintained a social life, showed up consistently amidst it all.

[Etornam C. Afutu @ThaORIGINAL_ET]

@FPLJnr I get you.

[FERDINAND OMONDI @FerdyOmondi]

Guys.

A foreigner travels to African countries, engages in consensual sex with women, secretly records them, and then publishes the videos online.

The sex was consensual.
The recording and distribution were not.
That is sexual exploitation.

What’s troubling is that instead of focusing on the violation, many are laughing at the women.

Now, before the familiar “why did they go there?” question comes up, let’s separate the issues.

Adults make personal choices every day. Some wise, some risky.

But no such personal decision cancels the right to privacy, and grants one permission to secretly record and expose someone.

We can debate ethics, morality and safety.
But those debates must not erase the principle of consent.

Consent to sex is not consent to filming.
Consent to filming is not consent to publication.

If we blur that line, we normalise exploitation.
