Writing my WASSCE in 2019, I didn’t even believe it would be possible to make the Medicine Cut off point but God had other plans🙏
Now I’m officially Dr(Med) George Nyamekye😎🔥
John Dramani Mahama, you have two more years to serve as President of Ghana. The best time to put your foot down on galamsey was when you were sworn in. The second best time is now. The profits are not worth destroying our water bodies.
Look at the pattern.
2000: Ghanaians removed NDC → NPP
2008: Ghanaians removed NPP → NDC
2016: Ghanaians removed NDC → NPP
2024: Ghanaians removed NPP → NDC
Every 8 years we get frustrated, sack one party and bring back the party we previously sacked for disappointing us.
Then the returning party tells us they have come to “save” Ghana from the people we elected to save us from them.
At some point, we have to notice the pattern.
Maybe Ghana’s problem is bigger than which of the two is currently holding the steering wheel. Please pay attention
There is a company in Ghana, let’s call it KPP, which has strategically positioned its pepper powder as one of the hottest on the Ghanaian market, yet it does NOT source its chilli peppers from Ghanaian farmers. The company says local farmers CANNOT meet its required level of pungency, measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU), which determines how hot the chilli is, so it IMPORTS dried chillies from India, then processes and packages them in Tema with the label ‘Made in Ghana.’
I asked the procurement manager why they don’t invest in the right chilli varieties, farmer training, and grower schemes to help local farmers meet their standards and contribute to improving their incomes. The answer was no.
Meanwhile, they are spending huge sums on ambassadorial deals while processing chilli peppers imported from India for Ghanaian consumers, many of whom may assume that the raw material used in the product is grown in Ghana.
This raises a bigger question: If companies have the capacity to develop local supplier networks, what policies can the government introduce to require them to source more of their agricultural raw materials from Ghanaian farmers where local production is commercially viable?
We have the land. We have the farmers. What we need is a deliberate effort to connect local production to industrial demand. Anything other than this should not be excused.
GHANA MUST WORK.
Your leaders are making you poor, yet you adore them. It’s colonial rule you’re scared off. At least we and the leaders will suffer together. Their children can’t live lavishly whilst we suffer. 😅
i don’t think this would fix it. the day there’s no MTTD officers, they would still cross.
arrest them, FINE them. let them pay for wrong doing… the average Ghanaian doesn’t listen.
The issue with Ghanaian politics is that as at 2016 right before the December national elections, President Mahama was being mocked openly as an incompetent leader. Infact people were shy to openly support the NDC in 2016 because you’ll be mocked as being foolish.
NDC was not known as the “intellectual party” in 2016. They were openly declared weak and he was thefirst President to lose a rerun.
It was just within 8 years that NPP transformed from a mighty opposition that entered power into a party now being mocked openly for “lacking intellectuals” and being a “useless minority.”
It took only 8 years to destroy and tarnish the hard work many NPP faithfuls did from 2012-2016 when they were in opposition. Within those eight years, the egotistical confidence that they will permanently be in power as Mahama will never be accepted again brought their downfall. Same way Mahama was accepted again, Bawumia can be accepted.
Everything NPP complained about during Mahama’s first term became worse in their two terms because they did not listen to the Ghanaian people. Covid exposed the level of unchecked corruption and greed so much so that even loyal NPP members became dissatisfied with their own party and withdrew their open support.
Today in 2026, we observe statements like;
“If you’re supporting NPP then you’re a fool” “See this NPP communicator is just a rascal, he has no sense.” “This NPP opposition is weak and useless.” “So does NPP really have intellectuals?”
Mind you in just 2016 they were saying the same thing for NDC. Trust me, do not be so confident in the popularity of your party because you believe it is a veiled loyalty.
Ghanaians are not loyal at all. Staunch NPP members rather stayed at home to make their party lose massively than even openly support Bawumia. They were shy.
If the NDC believe they have the goodwill of the people of Ghana so they can;
1. Slack on their fight against corruption
2. Slack on their fight against galamsey
3. Slack on the competence and performance of their regional and state ministers
4. Slack on their protection for human rights
5. Slack by making the same mistakes that NPP when they thought their power was cemented.
5. Slack in thinking that Bawumia is a weak opponent without support.
6. Slack in thinking that NPP cannot rally their grassroots within 2 years.
7. Slack in fulfilling their campaign promises
Then they will be in for a huge surprise.
There has been a lot of favorable performances in this government and I hope they put in more work.
Proverbial instruction is to save; save resources, save goodwill, save political image, save records of good deeds and performance because truly truly truly power will certainly change hands.
A government fixes your road and you say “Thank you.”
Thank you for what?
You already paid for that road through taxes, levies, duties and fees.
It is not a gift. It is not kindness. It is their job.
We have suffered for so long that when government finally does the bare minimum, we celebrate it like charity. That is how the standard stays low.
Public service is not a favour. Stop thanking people for doing what you already paid them to do.
Incase you're wondering what Ghana Must Work is about: https://t.co/CZyvGzv8f2
We’re building a community of young, intelligent and forward thinking Ghanaians.
Our goal is to bring our voices together, make meaningful demands, hold institutions accountable and solve problems.
The bicycles and chop boxes will certainly help the students, and nobody should begrudge them that.
But this is where our politics has gone wrong.
Instead of fixing the country so that transportation systems can reliably get students to school, and instead of creating an economy where parents can afford school essentials for their children, we have reduced the role of the MP to a "constituency caretaker" handing out relief whenever the opportunity arises.
We have become so accustomed to this model that we celebrate the politician for giving us droplets of honey while rarely asking why the system keeps making everyone poor enough to need the honey in the first place.
The MP gives bicycles because students struggle to get to school.
But why are students struggling to get to school in the first place?
Parents need chop boxes because they cannot afford basic school items.
Why are parents struggling to provide basic necessities for their children?
And this is bigger than Hon. Ablakwa. It's a problem with how we have come to understand political representation.
We elect MPs to make laws, scrutinise government, represent our interests and help shape policies that improve the conditions of our communities.
Yet we have gradually reduced that responsibility to:
“What did my MP give me?”
So an MP can give 100 bicycles today and receive praise, while we fail to ask the much more important question:
Why does the system require an MP to personally provide bicycles for children to get to school?
Relief is necessary when people are struggling. But relief should never become the substitute for reform.
Because if the system remains broken, the MP will keep giving bicycles, chop boxes, scholarships, medical support and other forms of assistance, and the people will keep returning every election cycle with new needs.
That is not development.
We shouldn't only ask our MPs what they are giving us. We should be asking them why the country is structured in a way that leaves so many people unable to afford basic needs in the first place.
The ultimate goal should be to build a country where people don't need political patrons to survive.
Don't just give us the fish. Let's have the conversation about why we cannot afford to buy fish.
#Ghanamustwork
Fix the country.
Use the money to build roads, hospitals, schools, water systems and jobs. Stop treating every 4 years like the only project worth saving for.
Stop “training” thousands of young people for jobs that do not exist. Stop packing them into hostels for programmes, taking pictures, giving speeches and sending them back home unemployed.
Give people real work so they can earn, marry, raise children, build homes and plan a future.
A country is not successful because politicians keep winning elections. It is successful when ordinary people can build a life.
You cannot keep letting people die, delay marriage, abandon dreams and lose hope because a few people are obsessed with ruling the nation.
At some point, power must produce a country worth living in. Ghana must work!
