I find this interesting
In 2022, #Asia was home to 55 percent (402 million) of the people in the world affected by #hunger, while more than 38 percent (282 million) lived in #Africa

It's crazy how much talent is packed into these MEN.
My list still remains @KOJO_Cue@AyisiMusic@worlasigh
It's crazy to call them just musicians. They're therapists, doctors, healers, and life-givers. Don't just call them musicians give them the whole long list of titles
Live an exemplary life that makes others want to embrace it too. That's Christianity.
Proud to be a Christian. I'm not perfect. I fail daily. I struggle. I doubt. But I will keep pressing on and trusting in God's grace.
Help me, Lord.
Amen.
Some people are unbelievably insensitive, ignorant, or just plain foolish.
A woman posts a video saying that a young man has been killed, and instead of offering condolences, expressing sympathy, or contributing something meaningful to the discussion, your immediate comment is..
Did you read the post? Isn’t it sad how you are not sharing a perspective proving a point or contributing to a discussion. Are there immigration issues .. yes. Is the solution attacking people in the country beating people with sticks? are you going to deny the video evidence?
The masses of our people don’t appreciate it when you say you can chase out every single immigrant, illegal and legal, and unemployment would not budge.
In fact, there are decades-long studies showing that removing immigrants from an economy causes unemployment to spike for native workers and for the domestic economy to contract.
This is not difficult to understand when you consider that native-born workers and undocumented immigrants aren’t perfect substitutes, because immigrants often accept extremely low wages, which means removing them increases labour costs for firms, leading to lower hiring rates AND lower salaries for locals.
Second, undocumented immigrants, like everyone else, buy goods and services, so removing them naturally causes broader economic contraction.
One could say the “patriot” community is targeting illegal immigrants specifically (they’re not). But even if we go with that, the thing is that the occupations that are common among undocumented workers like construction labourers and cooks, are essential to keeping businesses operating.
So, when construction companies lose labourers, they also reduce the number of site managers they hire, and when restaurants lose cooks and waiters, they can’t stay open to employ suppliers, who are more likely to be born locally.
The only solution is for the masses to organise themselves to force their government to radically overhaul the economic system to build a better future for their children.
But, of course, humans are emotional beings, and immigration is an emotive issue and like babies, the people want what they want.
Question: did you report this to the police or immigration authorities?
Also, what exactly was being discussed in this meeting?
You are posting a partial story without context or follow-up action. If this was not reported, are you not the problem you are criticizing?
I had a meeting this week with a person who basically bragged about breaking the countries laws. Afrikaans lady.
Her clients are Pakistanis who own shops. They break so many laws it's not even funny.
When I told her what she was doing is against the law she just said, well that's what my clients want so I do what they say.
This country is being destroyed by GREED !!!
@BEEtycoon I saved a screenshot just in case you try to run away from what you said.
But to be clear, are you saying South Africans are inherently violent people?
The irony is that you are running from the facts. We all saw people beating both legal and illegal immigrants. The videos are right here. Why the pretense? Or do we need to explain xenophobia all over again?
Please answer have any evidence of the following
1. Ghanaians with sticks in the streets attacking people?
2. Ghanaian looting shops?
3. Ghanaians stopping people from receiving medical care?
Are we following the same events? The evidence is right here, posted by SAns, the very same people. You do not even need to go far. A minute search on X will show everything that was done, in case you have not seen it. Come back when you are ready to have an honest discussion.
The conversation would be more honest if people admitted this: South Africans are not angry at legal immigrants. They are angry at years of unchecked illegal immigration and government inaction.
@Mosko3613 Are we following the same events? The evidence is right here, posted by you, the very same people. You do not even need to go far. A minute search on X will show everything that was done, in case you have not seen it yet. The problem is what led us here not the policy.
@Third_Star_Dog 2 - the looting, the beating of individuals on the streets, and the abuse and disregard of the very laws that some South Africans say are being broken. A one-minute search on X will show everything that was done and how now South Africans want to pretend none of that happened
Why is Ghana always reacting instead of taking action? This should not be brushed aside. We seem too calm and too quick to tolerate people treating us unfairly. It’s crazy how some South Africans are justifying citizens beating people on the streets.
@Third_Star_Dog 1 - Thanks for wanting to have a conversation, sir. No one is disputing what you have mentioned, and no one is denying that there are illegal immigrants or individuals operating outside their visa status. The problem is what led us here
