@Baldwinq0d11 The insults, the lies, unintelligence, the incompetence and the “buga buga” politics is what we mean when we say "This is not the NPP of Professor Adu Boahen, J. H. Mensah, B. J. da Rocha, Hawa Yakubu or Aliu Mahama."
I can’t identify my NPP again. 🥹.
@tv3_ghana I knew this was coming after Mahama delivered his speech at his swearing in ceremony. The global economy have changed and BRICS is the way forward
As part of a broader strategy to improve healthcare in Ghana, President Mahama will cut sod in the coming weeks for three 160-Bed Regional Referral Hospitals in the Oti, Savanah and Western North Regions.
Here is the design for the one in Oti.
“NDC has called me more times than the NPP since I lost the election. Previously, I had a different mindset about them, but this has shown me that they are not that bad.”

No victim of modern slavery should be trapped with an exploitative employer because of their immigration status.
From today, recognised victims on Skilled Worker visas can leave abusive employers and work elsewhere without risking their immigration status.

When Ghana Fought Portugal in Geneva, the Victory Was Angola & Mozambique's
1/ In 1962, Ghana went to war with Portugal on behalf of Angola and Mozambique. Not with soldiers, but with lawyers.
2/Under Portuguese colonial rule, African labourers in Angola and Mozambique were flogged with the palmatória, a holed wooden paddle, and forced into unpaid labour under the notorious indigenato system. The abuses were systematic.
3/ Kwame Nkrumah refused to look away. His Bureau of African Affairs, operating from Flagstaff House, took up the cause, making Ghana the legal voice of Portuguese Africa.
4/ Ghana assembled a formidable team. Government attorneys Austin Amissah, director of public prosecutions, and Adelaide Nana Woode, together with diplomat Major Seth Kobla Anthony, prepared to challenge Portugal before the world.
5/ In February 1962, Ghana brought Portugal before the Internation Labour Organization’s Commission of Inquiry in Geneva, accusing it of violating the Abolition of Forced Labour Convention (No. 105). Few expected a colonial power to be put on trial like this.
6/ Portugal denied everything. Then it tried to keep victims from testifying by offering scholarships and assimilado status (full Portuguese citizenship) to potential witnesses. Buying the voice of victims was Portugal’s strategy to win the legal battle.
7/ Ghana saw through it. Amissah and Anthony outmanoeuvred Portugal by recruiting a more balanced and credible group of witnesses.
8/ They brought German and Irish Catholic priests, Angolan and Mozambican students living in exile, and renowned British Africanist & historian Basil Davidson, a white man who was listed as a "prohibited immigrant" in several white-ruled African countries. Davidson was the first reporter to travel with African guerrillas fighting the Portuguese in Angola and Guinea-Bissau, bringing their struggle to the world's attention. His firsthand knowledge of Portuguese Africa proved invaluable to Ghana's case.
9/ The evidence was overwhelming. Victims displayed torture scars. The palmatória itself was presented. Witnesses recounted what they had endured. Portugal's defence steadily collapsed.
10/ The Commission ruled that Portugal had violated the Abolition of Forced Labour Convention in its African territories. It stopped short of calling Portugal's ratification a deliberate act of bad faith, but Ghana had won the case.
11/ The men behind the victory went on to remarkable careers. Austin Amissah later rise to become an appellate judge, then Attorney General, and eventually President of Botswana's Court of Appeal.
And as for Major Seth Kobla Anthony, his place in imperial military history had already been secured two decades earlier. Since 1942, he has held the singular honour of being the first Black African commissioned as an officer in the British Army, despite the objections of racist critics. For leading British troops and teaching them jungle warfare in Burma during the Second World War, he was awarded an MBE.
12/ Unlike the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun, hidden and left to lie forgotten in a tomb in the Valley of the Kings, only to be discovered over 3,000 years later, may the memories of these Ghanaian gems be widely known and remain ever fresh.
Too much crowd the UK police couldn’t handle at Shatta fest UK, more than 10,000 people waiting outside to enter while venue already filled up. The show has been cancelled abruptly.
