a kind reminder that members of Parliament are currently on a 3 day vacation attending an Anti-LGBT+ conference when Accra is flooded and people are homeless and dying.
Do you guys not care that your water bodies are contaminated? The rising kidney disease cases? The birth defects? The fact that your future could be spent in a hospital undergoing dialysis because of the pollution we're allowing today? #StopGalamseyNow
Life should not be this difficult, your favorite oppressors who are supposed to be your leaders are exploiting you. Ghana needs strong, selfless, visionary, and transparent leadership and such leadership will NEVER come out of the NPP or the NDC or any one or party that has an association with them.
We live in a country where party interests trounces national interests and we wonder why we are the way we are.
Ghana will make it but not until we put national interests above making a political party look good.
Wait until he finds out that physicians once classified the desire of enslaved Africans to escape slavery as a mental illness called drapetomania, and prescribed whipping and amputation as treatment.
Nudes are overrated. Send me a video of you reading so that I can see if you’re literate enough to fight against the technofascist wave of illiterate anti-intellectualism.
If you’re dating someone and you can’t comfortably tell them 'I don’t have money for this right now' without feeling ashamed, you are in the wrong relationship. 🤷♀️

The grasshopper effect is real.
When a grasshopper is trapped in a jar long enough, it learns not to jump beyond the lid. Even when the lid is removed, it still jumps only as high as the limit it was taught.
That is what has happened to many of us in Ghana.
We complain about bad roads, floods, poor hospitals, weak schools, no jobs, and leaders who keep failing us. But the moment someone says the whole system must change, we start defending the same people and parties that helped keep us here.
A country rich in gold, cocoa, oil, land, talent, and hardworking people should not have citizens struggling to survive.
Ghana is not poor because God forgot us. Ghana is poor because we have accepted poor leadership, poor systems, poor planning, and poor accountability for too long.
The painful truth is many of us are not just victims of the problem. We have also become protectors of the problem.
Until we stop defending failure, nothing will change.
He told me LGBTQI people are wrong because "only animals do that."
Moments later, he proudly informed me that his favourite position is doggy style. Interesting.
