Africans are very good people, maybe, for once we shouldn’t force our stuff on them, they’ve clearly shown sign of distaste for LGBTQ+, let’s not try to intimidate and force them to accept what they despise, they’ve not forced their stuff on us, so let’s not do so to them.

Eswatini Confirmed receiving $5.1 million from the U.S. in exchange for deportees.

Equatorial Guinea Received $7.5 million from the U.S. to accept deportees. 

Ghana, Rwanda & Uganda are yet to disclose how much they received.

USA pays every country that accepts the deportees.

My friends in Ghana are sounding the alarm about the local currency's volatility, citing unpredictable hourly fluctuations that threaten their business stability. With many threatening to shut down their businesses, pull out their investment and exit the country.

I saw this book making rounds online, i have read through the pages but page 59 is damning! This can never happen in the western world, the president of Ghana dashing out Ghana’s natural resources to his brother?

@SenateForeign It's time to reevaluate our aid policies. Western countries provide significant aid to Ghana but it seems to benefit the political elite rather than the people. Example is the reported $45.7 million spent on a single day of prayer, highlighting concerns about aid distribution.

I convinced a friend from the USA to invest in Ghana, he traveled Ghana for prospecting, with plans to establish a factory. However, after experiencing frequent power outages, he changed his mind & returned to the States, citing the unreliable energy supply as a major deterrent.

Government of Ghana's spokesperson may be raising suspicions about the Airmed flight's stay in Ghana by not providing clear information, they might be fueling speculation and concerns about the flight's activities. Transparency is key in situations like this.

@tv3_ghana The recent cocaine controversy in Ghana, linked to flights from Gran Canaria and Airmed is troubling, this could affect the trust between Ghana and the west, it would be in the Ghana’s government own interest to launch full investigation into this issue for clarity sake.

Is the president of Ghana promoting crypto and meme coins? This is unbelievable, Ghana would be moving in a very slippery direction with this announcement from the President.

Ghana's “Dumsor” pose a threat to the economy, potentially leading to collapse if left unaddressed. It is already driving foreign investors to neighboring countries.A Canadian friend planned to establish a factory in Ghana but was forced to relocate to Ivory Coast due to “Dumsor”

Recent online reports indicate a worrying trend of mass layoffs affecting African youth in Ghana. The underlying reasons for this phenomenon are unclear. However, the consequences of rising youth unemployment are severe, and Europe may face a surge in asylum seekers as a result.

The newly elected President, John Dramani Mahama’s decision to cut down waste by appointing 60 ministers is in right direction, Africa isn’t broke, it’s about being realistic and decreasing Government’s expenditure by cutting down the size of Government.

I wish the Israel - Arab confrontation is contained, Hezbollah’s ability to strike Israel’s Prime Minister, @netanyahu’s residence opens a new chapter in this war, this shouldn’t be in the interest of anyone, let’s advocate for peace instead of war.

[Dr. John Hopkins @_JHopkins__]

War shouldn’t be in the interest of anyone, both Iran and Israel should disengage, let’s talk peace for once instead of war.

[Dr. John Hopkins @_JHopkins__]

Ghana is doing something positive in Africa, ditching petrol cars for electric ones is the best since it’s cheaper, On average, drivers save about $700 in fuel costs per year while driving electric cars,passengers pay less,it’s environmental friendly as they don’t emit pollutants

Iran attacks Israel, peace is far from Middle East.

[Dr. John Hopkins @_JHopkins__]

Iran attacking Israel is another stage of escalation in the Middle East, peace is far from the region.

[Dr. John Hopkins @_JHopkins__]

Israel showing its military prowess, it’s ability to hit and eliminate Hezbollah’s leader, Nasarallah sums it up.

I have followed keenly the happenings in Ghana in regard to the arrest of the protestors,I think Ghana Police are more professional than the police here in UK & in the USA,here, you can’t push down police barricades, attack them, take their car key & still be alive,they’ll shoot.
