Professional unions & associations brought this upon themselves.
They mattered in the past. They protected themselves and us.
You sat there and allowed politicians to use your leadership as appendages, and are surprised you're now used and discarded at will.
On the morning of December 8, 2025, Michael Owusu received a life-changing call. He says the caller lured him to give out his location under the pretext of delivering a birthday gift.
But to his shock, instead of a present, he was shown a gun. Confused, he asked: “who sends a gun as a birthday gift?” Moments later, the gun-toting man identified himself as a police officer and told Michael that he had been ordered to arrest him, allegedly by the Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service.
Michael was later to learn that he had been arrested because of a video he posted on TikTok on December 6, 2025 – his birthday. In the video, he displayed what appeared to be a sachet of ‘Special Ice’ Mineral Water with a razor blade in it. This is recorded on the charge sheet presented to an Accra Circuit Court. Concerned about how such an object could pass through production and to the market undetected, he decided to make a video for social media after a call to the company proved unsuccessful.

Rich Ghanaian parents pay $18,000 a year at DPS International. $16,000 at Tema International School. Why?
Because their kids do the IB Diploma. SATs. Strong English. Strong essays. So they go straight to Harvard, MIT, Yale, Cornell on full scholarships.
Meanwhile, a brilliant kid in Kasoa, Tamale, or Ho is doing WASSCE thinking the best he can hope for is Legon or KNUST.
Same brain. Different information.
The rich kids aren’t smarter than you. They just had parents who knew the game.
Here’s the truth nobody tells you:
You don’t need DPS. You don’t need TIS. You don’t need rich parents.
I sold sachet water in Ghana. I went to Berea College on a full scholarship. Now I’m a software engineer in Dallas.
My friends from humble homes did it too. From WASSCE straight to top US universities. Full ride.
The system was hidden from us. Not from them.

There is a surprising number of people who come to the ER willingly and deny medical treatment. A lot of people unconsciously view ERs as hotel room service, often misunderstanding emergency medical care for comfort care. The Pitt does a great job of highlighting this issue.
I borrowed an umbrella from my Airbnb host in Kyoto. I forgot to return it when I checked out, and realized when I was already on the train to Osaka.
I felt terrible. It was a nice umbrella, not a cheap one. I messaged the host apologizing.
She responded: "No problem! Enjoy the umbrella. It's yours now."
I said I'd mail it back. She said "please don't. Postage costs more than an umbrella. Just use it and think of Kyoto when it rains."
I insisted I wanted to return it. She said "okay, but I have a different idea. Next time you see someone who needs an umbrella and doesn't have one, give them this umbrella. Tell them to do the same when they are finished with it. Maybe an umbrella travels all around Japan helping people."
That idea was so beautiful I agreed.
Two weeks later I was in Hiroshima and it started pouring. A woman with a baby was standing under an awning looking stressed. No umbrella, the baby was crying.
I walked over and gave her the umbrella. Told her the story in broken Japanese. She understood enough.
She tried to refuse but I insisted. Told her "when you're done with it, give it to someone else who needs it."
She nodded, said thank you about ten times, and hurried off with her baby.
I got soaked walking back to my hotel but felt good about it.
Sometimes I wonder where that umbrella is now. Hope it's still traveling, still helping people.
Things done out of love for the wrong person can never be something you shame the doer for.
She loved through words and actions, some of you are dead inside and can never understand what that is,
Yall should sit this one out.
