A timeless message.

‘We have been waiting since 9:30am and can no longer wait.’

NDC executives led by Deputy National Women’s Organiser Dzifa Tegah delivered a solidarity message through the media after delays in the start of the NPP National Delegates Conference.

The NDC delegation subsequently left the conference grounds.

Ghana's number one satirist, KSM, has replied to Mustapha Hamid on why intellectuals have left the NPP.

According to him, Mustapha should look at the people speaking for the NPP: Charles Opoku, Adenta Kumi, Slyvestre Tetteh, Dennis Miracles, Abronye, KOKA, etc. Sankwas!

1. Emmanuel Quaye shot to fame playing "Strika," a child soldier character besides Idris Elba's "Commandant" in the Hollywood flick, "Beasts of No Nation".

2. Unlike his co-star, Abraham Attah, another child actor from Ghana, global stardom didn't extract Strika from poverty and into bigger roles in Hollywood, such as an appearance in a Marvel blockbuster.

3. I don't have much insight into why. But Strika was in the news for theft this week, and what he is accused of stealing puts the spotlight on the subject of industrial minerals I was on about in Kigali this week. Though I doubt the connection is clear to most readers.

4. Strika was accosted by area boys for stripping off pedestrian bridge metal railings for sale as scrap.

5. There is a literal crisis of people dismantling and ripping out metal infrastructure to sell off as scrap across Africa. Traffic lights. Rail lines. Drainage coverings. Anything with enough metal.

6. The bizarre trend is often reduced to poverty and left at that. But a deeper problem exists: a fast growing continent that is not producing enough metals to sustain even the low level of current industrial output.

7. That is why in recent talks and interviews I have strongly pushed for an emphasis on industrial minerals, a category of natural resource where Africa is seriously deficient.

8. Were Africa to merely increase its consumption to the global average, it would need 14 times more steel than is currently being produced.

9. The craze over scrap is a mere signal of this serious deficiency. But should industrialisation seriously take off, the pressure would become even more intense.

10. Unlike South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan, most African countries have yet to develop mineral supply security arrangements.

11. Very likely because of the myth that Africa is awash in minerals (e.g. the "30% of world minerals" trope) and the strategic complacency it has created.

12. Hopefully, the continent starts to take industrial mineral exploration seriously by incentivising data collection by companies that have neither the intention nor massive capital it takes to actually mine.

13. Doing so requires a data rights & monetisation scheme.

14. We are pushing just such a protocol in the name of Royale. See the first comment for a link to the recent talk and the technical whitepaper.

Donald Trump went $3.4 billion into debt building things. He came back by putting his name on things other people built. That one pivot made him president.

1990. Four bankruptcies in three years. Taj Mahal, Trump Castle, Trump Plaza, the Plaza Hotel. Yacht sold. Airline shut down. Banks put him on a personal spending allowance. The New York Post runs "UH-OWE!" on the front page. Forbes drops his net worth to $500 million, then questions if even that's real.

By 1992 he throws himself a comeback party in Atlantic City. Most of the debt is still there. But the cameras show up anyway.

That's when he sees it.

The buildings lose money. The name doesn't. The name fills rooms. The name gets cameras. The name gets the party thrown even when the math says you shouldn't be throwing parties.

So he stops building.

Trump Tower Toronto. Trump SoHo. Trump International Hotel Las Vegas. He didn't build them. He didn't own them. He didn't finance them. Developers paid him millions just to put his name on the glass. If the building failed, they ate the loss. He kept the licensing fee.

By 1997 he publishes The Art of the Comeback and tells NBC the brand is the business. Not real estate. The name.

He licensed it onto steaks. Vodka. A university. A board game. A reality show. Most of it failed. Didn't matter. Every failure kept the name in circulation and every dollar of risk belonged to someone else.

The man who nearly lost everything because he personally guaranteed $832 million in debt never personally guaranteed anything again. He made other people bet on his name while he collected a percentage for showing up.

By 2004 The Apprentice made him the most recognized businessman in America. By 2016 he used that recognition to win the presidency.

The buildings bankrupted him. The name on the buildings made him the most powerful man in the world.

This is what happened under Akufo-Addo: many NPP MPs and ministers did not care about the country in their second term. They left the citizens to their fate and ignored their needs. They were busy making money and building their resumes.
These guys really destroyed Ghana 🇬🇭.

Property owning or property looting. One unfortunate thing about the NPP is that they do NOT entertain criticisms in any form, both internally and externally and it’s not a good thing for an organization’s growth and progress

Footage of General Joseph Ankrah calling former President Kwame Nkrumah “useless” and accusing him of “tyranny and partisanship” following the 1966 coup. Ankrah also insisted that the coup was planned entirely from within Ghana, with no help or instigation from any foreign country.

Spending £90,000 of taxpayers’ money on the visas, airfare and yellowcard of the spouse and 3 children of a scholarship awardee and another £8,000 per month on EACH of the above is not just corrupt but pure cruelty
