Ghana will continue to live.
I have to decide to live, too.

This is my final message of defiance and submission.

This is my final message of resilience and tiredness.

This is both a statement of defeat and victory.

Impeachment
Resignations
Sacking
Dismissals

Heads must roll.

@BoakyeNIsaac 1. “The Bank worked from three authentic photographs of Mrs Okoh, two from her younger years and one from later life”.

2. “These were used to create a single portrait presenting her as a MATURE woman while retaining a faithful family resemblance”.

WTF does this mean? 😂

My beloved Temasco is 65. We kick off the celebration with Jumah prayers today.
Next weekend, it'll be kikim for the Tema there.
Thanks to TOSA President, Senior Anchorite Dan Boifio, his executives and the school management for adding this to the packages for the anniversary

Should board members be permitted to be the first mouthpiece for the institutions they serve on?

Why don't we allow the governance process to follow proper corporate practice?

Why is BOG not the institution offering explanations, but rather the private social media account of a BOG board member?

How do we ensure accountability and track the reliability of information with this practice?

Who made you the communications officer of the Bank of Ghana or any institution with a mandate over the issue?

CLARIFICATION ON THE PORTRAIT OF THEODOSIA SALOME OKOH ON THE GH₵50 BANKNOTE

The Bank of Ghana has noted discussions on social media about the portrait of Mrs Theodosia Salome Okoh, designer of Ghana’s national flag, on the new GH₵50 Heritage Series banknote.

A banknote portrait is not an ordinary photograph. It is an engraved artistic rendering created to meet the strict technical requirements of banknote printing. It must be sharp, well lit and rich in fine detail so that it can be engraved, reproduced in raised print and incorporate the security features that protect the note against counterfeiting.

The Bank worked from three authentic photographs of Mrs Okoh, two from her younger years and one from later life. These were used to create a single portrait presenting her as a mature woman while retaining a faithful family resemblance. Her hairstyle was also adjusted to align with the family’s style and provide a clear outline suitable for engraving.

The aim throughout was to produce a bold, clear and dignified image worthy of her place in our history. The result is the portrait featured on the GH₵50 Heritage Series banknote.

The Bank is engaging her family to explain the careful work that went into creating the portrait and resolve the issue.

Saying this like they didn't launch a war on our preserved history, all so their uncles and fathers could be hailed as the true patriots, when history described them exactly as they were.

CIA assets selling our future wanted to be called patriots. Lmao!

[delali adogla-bessa @delalibessa]

For issues like this, I get vexed when institutions do not use standard communication channels.

Is this the official state or Bank of Ghana position on the Theodosia Okoh portrait controversy? I bet the central bank has a well-compensated PR team. They should act like it.

Even when designing a currency, we are incompetent.

We are a mediocre society.

1) Whether a hospital in #Gaza was used for acts harmful to the enemy is not a question either party to the armed conflict has credibility to answer. #IndependentFactFinding
2) Even if it was used, an attack is not automatically legal. IHL is much more demanding than that.

[Nana Yaw @GoScholari]

I never realized how much was wrong with Ghana until I traveled abroad.

I spent time in a small town in the USA where the roads were good, streets were clean, hospitals were well-equipped, and emergency services actually worked.

In four years, I never experienced a power outage or water shortage.

Yet people there still considered their town poor.

The sad part? Even some of Ghana’s wealthiest neighborhoods lack these basic amenities.

Something is really wrong with us .

Dear @GTV_Ghana,
Let’s state the historical facts accurately.

Dr. Ephraim Amu originally composed “Mia denyigba lɔ̃lɔ la” (Our Beloved Homeland) in Eʋe in May 1929. He later translated it into Twi as “Yɛn Ara Asaase Ni” in 1931.

Keta do some fact-checking first. #EweSpace 🙏🏾

[Tim Seli @KorkuSTD]

We are doomed.

[Tim Seli @KorkuSTD]

Tomorrow is here. See you.

Come, let's talk about law from a philosophical angle.

Everyone is welcome.

[Tim Seli @KorkuSTD]

This is Scott Shapiro’s account of what America’s legal education does and seeks to do.

I wonder if we can say the same for Ghana. And if not, what is the ideological aim of legal education in Ghana?

Are we aiming to train legal robots who can memorize rules?

OR

We aim to nurture those who reason about law from a fundamental point of how the rules come about, why these rules exist, and what higher-order concepts the rules track.

[Carnival of the Black Sun @AccraBoy]

and national identity is narrowed. Normalised erasure sustains asymmetric citizenship and undermines inclusive nation-building. There's a quiet akanisation’ of the Ghanaian state, and we can't pretend not to notice.

[Carnival of the Black Sun @AccraBoy]

the absence of Ga samai and Ewe dzesiwo from Bank of Ghana heritage notes is not merely aesthetic; it is symbolic violence that normalises Akan hegemony in state iconography. This sort of selective representation turns public currency into a site of exclusion, reproducing ++

It..depends. But most of the time, when the average man is courting a woman, dates are largely centred around what she would enjoy. You’re planning things she’d like, taking her places she’d enjoy and usually funding the experience. You’re not necessarily doing things you’d ordinarily choose for yourself. Unless you’re lucky enough that your interests align pretty early.
