@my_azania @jacksonhinkle Yes, granted we end up outsourcing from Europe or Asia - it will never be a bad decision because Ghanaian migrants in European and Asian countries do not get attacked by citizens.

@ganyonii_ @obbampoegh @ewe_geniality Take ChatGPT out, please.

@hansandoh There is nothing wrong with including Partey in the squad. The only mistake is, whoever filled the application form was incompetent. Second, we should have gone to court to seek expedite opportunity to submit new application for him and not challenge the decision.

[Solomon @afctusso]

@Ebo_dadzie @tailorMARIQUE They knew misrepresentation led to the denial. So they should have gone to court to plead a chance for expedite application or discretional TRV pathway. They shouldn’t have gone there defending their mistakes, but rather beg the judge for a second chance.

[Osagyefo Oliver Barker-Vormawor @barkervogues]

The English FA is debating whether to direct its footballers to avoid shaking the hands of Thomas Partey during our upcoming World Cup match.

They are entitled to do as they choose obviously. And Rape allegations are serious. But England as a whole is not entitled to attempt to launder its image through cheap publicity stunts.

I think the GFA is entitled to; and must Infact direct Ghanaian players to not shake the hands of English players during the match. Ghana takes colonialism and British role in the Genocide in Gaza very seriously.

Aura for Aura!

Shalom.

@chumandungane @emmlagyei6 @DigiOscie @barkervogues @kofi_awortwi How does paying taxes finds it way in GDP accounting? Sir, you need to go back to school😂.

@Okwanfour @fourthestategh It’s sad, and government must take this story serious.

[Solomon @afctusso]

@KwakuB94293 @fourthestategh Did you read the full article? Can MoU signed in 2024 bind successive cohorts perpetual? Are you aware the article mentioned a component of the students tuition fees already has this parallel fees imposed on them? For once, learn to read before commenting.

[The Fourth Estate @fourthestategh]

The School of Business at the University for Development Studies (SoB-UDS) in Tamale has, since 2024, been collecting levies from students without obtaining the statutory approvals required by law.

The Fees and Charges (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2022 (Act 1080) requires all tertiary institutions to seek and obtain Parliamentary approval before they introduce new fees and charges.

In clear violation of the law, the SoB-UDS rather signed a sneaky Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the then leadership of the Business Students Association (BUSA) on October 22, 2024, to ‘legitimize’ the collection of the levies.

According to the terms of the MoU, each student is obliged to pay an annual “Development Levy” of GHS150.00. The levy “is intended to support various developmental projects and initiatives within SoB-UDS and its departments.”

Continuing the blockade puts far more pressure on us than on Iran. Iran has proven it can endure economic pain—it has been doing so since 1979. The blockade will not force Iran to abandon uranium enrichment, ballistic missiles, or its proxy networks.

Instead, the blockade is hurting the American people and creating serious domestic pressure on POTUS:

Gas prices will continue to rise as we head into the midterms, harming the working class voters who overwhelmingly backed Trump and Republicans—putting GOP majorities in serious jeopardy.

Staging three carrier battle groups plus a massive build up of airpower in CENTCOM to enforce the blockade is unsustainable—it hands an emboldened IRGC ample opportunities to strike U.S. forces and drag America back into war on Iran’s terms.

The global fallout only increases the pressure on us, not Iran:

Beyond the oil and gas crisis, the blockade is now triggering a global fertilizer shortage that will cause major food security crises and potential famines in vulnerable regions.

The smarter path is clear: withdraw, declare victory, and use sanctions relief as our negotiating leverage with Iran. This resets the talks on our terms, avoids war, and prevents further escalation of the energy crisis at home and abroad.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

POTUS is laying out two courses of action—a negotiated settlement, or a major escalation.

There is a third option, and he should take it: recognize there is no way to force a positive outcome and simply leave.

The region is not ours to fix. President Reagan chose this path in Lebanon in ‘84, withdrawing U.S. forces after the Beirut barracks bombing once it became clear the mission’s stabilization goals could not be met, effectively ending direct American military involvement and avoiding a deeper quagmire and long-term entrenchment in the region.

A negotiated settlement is unlikely to work or be taken seriously by the Iranians unless we make concessions on the enrichment issue. As we saw yesterday in the SOH, the IRGC is empowered to act without the consent of the civilian leadership, so it’s likely they won’t honor any deal reached.

A major escalation will lead to a very destructive outcome for Iran, the region, and eventually the U.S. If POTUS chooses brute force and targets civilian infrastructure, we will create another generation of radicalized Iranians who will rally around the regime and escalate the war by any means possible.

If POTUS opts to strike the civilian infrastructure, declare victory, and then leave, we will only further erode our standing in the world, the petrodollar, and eventually our status as the world’s reserve currency holder. We need to get out now.

Don’t double down on failure. Avoid the sunken cost trap, leave now, and put America’s interests first.

@New_tres @grok is this TRUE?

[Solomon @afctusso]

@AdameMedia @grok is this video TRUE?

[Solomon @afctusso]

@KazmiWajahat @grok is this video TRUE or AI generated?

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain.

Our response then must be our response now:

NO to violations of international law.

NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.

NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.

NO TO WAR.

@korlivic It’s sad. But I don’t know why the law is not amended such that, issues like this are kept anonymous until the accused is found and declared guilty by a competent court.

[Solomon @afctusso]

@DylanMusicUK @Devil__in__Red @YellowmanRobert @DeadlineDayLive @David_Ornstein The claim that there’s substantial evidence of his guilt is baseless. Similar weak arguments were made by people like you against Mendy, yet the court found him not guilty and still you have not learn from it. The same CPS charged Mendy. Court is about facts, and not bullshit.

[Solomon @afctusso]

@DylanMusicUK @Devil__in__Red @YellowmanRobert @DeadlineDayLive @David_Ornstein Yes, it certainly doesn’t look good, especially given the lasting stigma — even if the court eventually finds him not guilty. The law needs to evolve such that the accused is as well granted anonymity until the court finds him guilty.

[Solomon @afctusso]

@Devil__in__Red @YellowmanRobert @DeadlineDayLive @David_Ornstein No one condones rape — but due process must be respected, and that includes the principle of ‘innocent until proven guilty.’ It’s really that simple. Your issue isn’t with justice; it’s with the fact that not everyone is willing to join your social media lynch mob.
