The rot is so deep that in Ghana today, when a young person speaks, the first question is not whether the person is making sense.
The first question is, “Who paid you?”
That alone should scare us.
We have become so used to people selling their conscience that honesty now looks suspicious. Patriotism now looks sponsored. Speaking the truth now looks like an agenda.
And the saddest part is that the youth, who should be asking the hardest questions, are being trained to fight each other instead of questioning the system that keeps failing them.
They have turned our poverty into a weapon, our loyalty into a market, and our anger into entertainment.
So instead of demanding better roads, jobs, schools, healthcare, internet, drainage, security and real opportunities, we are busy asking which party someone belongs to.
A broken country does not only destroy buildings and institutions. It also destroys the people’s ability to believe that someone can still care without being paid.
That is the real tragedy. Ghana must work!
@TkIke2030 democracy perishes when intellectuals remain silent on issues - for the morons to drive conversations
I am beginning to get that now, and speak out more
A minister went live on national television, visibly excited that he had finally found a “gotcha moment” against ordinary Ghanaians.
Why? Because a draft bill was published on the ministry’s official website, then quietly revised four different times through closed-door meetings without properly communicating any of those changes to the public.
After that, he confidently says: “The old bill is dead. You people are online criticizing a dead bill. You don’t have the updated bill.” As if secrecy, poor communication, and public confusion are achievements.
You are pushing 15 digital bills that will affect millions of citizens, businesses, creators, and young people, yet the public engagement has been chaotic from the beginning. Instead of transparency, accountability, and respect, citizens are being mocked on live TV for reacting to the only version they were officially given access to.
Leadership is not a game of catching citizens off guard. If people are confused, the failure is in communication, not in the public asking questions. This is not it.
Ghana is failing us.
the nita bill, 2025 says no one can be appointed as an ICT professional in a public or private institution without government certification.
that is every developer. every engineer. every sysadmin. public and private.
here is what the bill actually says🧵.
I built a product that lets people convert Bitcoin to mobile money using Lightning.
If you earn, trade, or hold BTC and need fast local payouts, this is for you.

@rolex_devv It’s certainly more painful. I know a guy who tried and he said react native is hard and broken. I made him learn react first and now he finds react native really simple
