@Jeff_Nyabor @DavidHundeyin .@Jeff_Nyabor you have still not answered my question, but nonetheless, read this and learn. Learn from Nigeria’s experience

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

I can't love Ghana more than a Ghanaian. I do love Ghana a whole lot, and it is the only country close enough to my heart to compete with the country of my birth. But at the end of the day, even if I obtain Ghanaian citizenship, I know I can still never love Ghana as much as any random Efua from Koforidua, because I am not Ghanaian. It is what it is.

Having said that, I really hope that Ghanaians come to understand their true position in the world, and that there are in fact, well-resourced and capable people in this world who are working day and night on the Nigeria-fication of Ghana. And I know this because I've lived through the incremental Nigeria-fication of Nigeria since I was born 35 years ago.

Nigeria wasn't always like this. Nigeria was once so stable and prosperous that over 1 million Ghanaians migrated there in the 1970s. The incremental collapse of Nigeria didn't just happen because "Nigerian leaders are corrupt." No matter how corrupt and inept a country's leadership is, if that country has the human and natural resource abundance that Nigeria has, it is much harder for it to fail than to at least be mediocre. Nigeria's failure was and is a carefully planned and executed project.

An economy doesn't go from $560 bn and number 1 in Africa + 3rd fastest growing on earth, to $199bn and no 4 in Africa with zero growth, over the space of just 10 years through "incompetence." Mere incompetence cannot reduce an economy by more than half its size in just a decade without black swan events like war, famine, or natural disasters. Just deliberate policy decisions carefully aimed at destroying an economy and facilitating the escape of its best and brightest talent, so that it can go back to being an impoverished oilfield and cash crop plantation with no future.

The primary means by which these well-resourced actors were able to completely take over the Nigerian state was by seizing total control over Nigeria's information space, and it is impossible for me not to see the same patterns repeating themselves in Ghana. When you start seeing foreign state actors keeping journalists, social media influencers, celebrities, artists, media platforms, and every other influential entity in the media and culture space on retainer, that means a "soft" coup is in the works - only there's nothing "soft" about it.

In the case of a "hard" coup, the attempt will fail if the people resist it, or the state catches wind of it early enough. But in a "soft" coup, the minds of the people are turned into the very weapons by which their government and sovereignty are undermined. In the case of the "hard" coup that was planned against JJ Rawlings, your government could destroy the plot by arresting the 8 spearheads. In the case of a "soft" coup where the minds of 10 million Ghanaians have been sufficiently weaponised and moulded in favour of whatever narrative the foreign state actor is trying to push, what does the government want to do? Arrest 10 million useful idiots? That is what makes it so dangerous.

You guys need to understand that the ongoing colonisation of your arts, culture, media and entertainment spaces by the usual obroni actors is NOT benign. Someone feels threatened by geopolitical events around Ghana, as well as the new Ghanaian president's apparent willingness to engage diplomatically with his neighbours like an adult, instead of needlessly making enemies out of close trading partners because one Emmanuel Macron in Paris doesn't like Red Beret Man in Ouagadougou.

They feel threatened enough to bypass the traditional media ecosystem because they feel Ghanaian journalists still retain a measure of professionalism and geopolitical awareness that makes it hard to use them as sock puppets. They're instead going after the young, impressionable, socioeconomically repressed, social-media-famous types who are drunk on their newfound fame and apparent power, and will do whatever they are told for the opportunity to eat dinner with the Norwegian ambassador and get an all-expense-paid trip to Paris, which might be their first time ever having a passport, let alone leaving Ghana.

Whatever the goal is of using these types to engineer a soft coup in Ghana's information space, you can be sure of one thing - it is not to help you. If you doubt this, you only have to think it through logically:

Question - What is Ghana's primary economic problem?

Answer - An import-dependent economy barely held together by exporting unprocessed cocoa and gold nuggets, leading to a never-ending cycle of predatory IMF and World Bank loans which can never realistically be repaid.

Question - What is Ghana's economic solution?

Answer - Build out a value chain for its resource exports so that for example, instead of exporting cocoa at $7,000/ton, Ghana can export finished cocoa-based products including food, make-up and pharmaceutical products worth at least 1000 times the raw price of cocoa. In addition to boosting export revenues and reducing pressue on the cedi and need for borrowing, this also creates millions of much-needed new jobs.

Question - What countries do these influencer-sponsoring state actors come from?

Answer - Industrialised countries from Europe and North America.

Question - What pays the salaries of these sate actors?

Answer - Government revenue earned in large part from corporate and personal income taxes levied on industrial and manufacturing operations.

Question - In the case of Switzerland or Belgium for example, where do the cheap inputs for these industrial processes come from?

Answer - Brong-Ahafo region, via Tema Harbour, Ghana.

Question - So if Ghana stops exporting raw cocoa and unrefined gold, and starts exporting exporting finished goods after building out a value chain in-country, what happens to those jobs and taxpayer revenues in Europe and North America?

Answer - Ɛyerae. Otilor.

Question - So if you're a European diplomat in Ghana, is it in your interest to fund anything that could help Ghana to EVER develop industrially?

Answer - Fuck no.

Question - And if you are funding something, what is the only possible end goal of what you are funding?

Answer - Well, that should be pretty obvious. To ensure that Ghana keeps doing EXACTLY what it is doing.

That's how the real world works. It is harsh and simple - people do what is in the shared interests of the group they belong to. It is the demonstrated shared interest of obroni to live parasitically off African resources and people. They will do and have done WHATEVER is needed for them to maintain their standard of living at your expense.

If they have gone as far as plotting to assassinate Patrice Lumumba with poisoned toothpaste (https://t.co/38YJC9Niap), and trying SIX different times to kill the greatest person in Ghana's history (https://t.co/s3AMNFDfbq) before they finally executed a coup using their local proxies, you can rest assured that sponsoring some social media influencer who comes from a humble background to implant destructive messages in your subconscious is the very least they are capable of.

For your own good, if you do not wish to see Ghana go through what Nigeria has gone through, you better quit allowing any pseudo-intelligent social media speaker of Borɔfo to gaslight you into believing things that are not in your interest. It's the French ambassador's job to protect French interests, not yours. If that means funding the son of a plantain seller who managed to accumulate 300,000 Twitter followers, then that is what he or she will do. Because they're protecting their own interests.

In the name of God, you had better protect your own too.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

I honestly believe this is worse than a stupid question - it is a malicious question that has been planted inside your mind by the the world famous oyibo information warriors.

Because where you have 2 options, and one option has spent 60 years murdering your best leaders, staging coups, fueling wars and terrorism, carting off your natural resources effectively for free using its unbacked magic printer money, using your children as biological experiment subjects without your consent, funding research into how to make your women permanently infertile (all this is on public record), and installing puppets to misrule you to the extent that you still struggle to generate electricity 150 years after many parts of the world already solved that problem;

...And then the 2nd option in just 20 years has built economy-boosting infrastructure, offered you favourable trade deals, given you cheap access to technology which would have remained out of your reach for another century (like the smartphone you are reading this on and the Huawei infrastructure that supports the mobile network you used to read this tweet), given you debt-funded infrastructure to benefit the country instead of debt-funded cash disbursement that your puppet leaders would normally use to buy houses in Dubai, offered you currency swap agreements to reduce pressure on your local currency...

...And then you completely ignore what the first is doing to you and start asking the 2nd guy "What they are getting out of it," then clearly your ideal scenario is to remain imprisoned with the first guy. It's not slavery if that's what you choose because that's what you think you deserve. If your mind is so thoroughly captured by Euro/American nonsense that you prefer to remain in chains than to risk escaping because your master told you that the outside world is big and scary, then you should remain exactly where you are. It's not oppression. It's just BDSM.

Punish them some more, Mr White Man Sir. It makes their nipples hard.
