@TheUnitedExtra Have they ever?

@the_holy_toma @specimen_alesi @Julz_nba @SportyTV Nobody is denying the hatrick, we all agree the keeper was horrible right?

[MHB 101🎹 @micky_awuah]

@the_holy_toma @specimen_alesi @Julz_nba @SportyTV Yeaa, only the third goal stands out

[MHB 101🎹 @micky_awuah]

@specimen_alesi @Julz_nba @SportyTV The second goal was even the worst, the keeper missed the ball so it his Leg, typical Onana error

[MHB 101🎹 @micky_awuah]

@Azimkay1 @kpee_1 I only watched second half, and Senegal was terrible, what midfield was that 😭

@MikelAsamoah Oh naah, they are just saying it shouldn’t be the grand prize for young people with great minds, using the guys story as the case study was where he went wrong

Be smart/good at regurgitating, go to MIT, go work for Google. Be at the wrong side of history.

Such wasted potential. Completed PRESEC with this guy.

There will be a super weird wave of people failing to advance their careers who have an extremely brittle (if any) domain expertise because they relied on LLMs too early.

Frankly, I have no idea how I'd gather deep knowledge when it's so easy to "have an agent do it." Glad I was a somewhat capable developer before agentic coding came along...

Dear Honourable Minister,

With the greatest respect, I believe many of the concerns being raised by technology professionals are not about whether NITA has the legal authority to enforce the law. The concern is whether the law, in its current form and application, achieves the outcomes we seek as a country.

The fact that a law exists does not automatically mean it should be enforced without review, especially when the very stakeholders expected to drive innovation are raising legitimate concerns about its impact.

It is worth noting that some of these provisions have existed since 2008, while others have been introduced more recently. Yet successive governments, despite having the power to enforce them, exercised restraint. Perhaps they recognized the delicate balance between regulation and innovation, and the risk of imposing barriers on a young and growing technology ecosystem.

The technology sector is unlike many traditional industries. Today's startup founder could be tomorrow's employer of hundreds. Today's student developer could build the next Ghanaian unicorn. The challenge is ensuring that regulation protects consumers and national interests without discouraging experimentation, entrepreneurship, and growth.

Listening to the people who put you into office is not a sign of weakness. It is good governance.

If developers, cybersecurity professionals, startups, and industry leaders are overwhelmingly signaling that certain fees and compliance requirements may increase the cost of entry, stifle innovation, and create unnecessary barriers to growth, then that feedback deserves serious consideration.

Sanitizing the technology space is not simply about enforcing existing laws. It is also about having the courage to revisit laws that may no longer serve the realities of today's digital economy.

A law can be legal and still be problematic.
A regulation can be enforceable and still produce unintended consequences.

The request from many within the ecosystem is therefore not for lawlessness. It is for a pause, consultation, and urgent review of the fee structures and compliance requirements being introduced.

The goal should be to build a technology ecosystem that is secure, trusted, and well-regulated, while remaining accessible to young innovators, startups, and entrepreneurs who are trying to create value, jobs, and opportunities.

We all want a sane technology space.

The question is whether the path we are taking strengthens innovation or unintentionally suppresses it.

“Ghana's NITA Bill 2025: How a Government That Cannot Fix Potholes Wants to Certify Your Keyboard Strokes

There is a particular brand of Ghanaian governance that operates on a simple, well-rehearsed logic: identify the one sector in which ordinary young people, without connections, without family money, without a politician uncle are actually building something for themselves, and then erect a magnificent bureaucratic tollbooth right in the middle of it.

The National Information Technology Authority Bill, 2025 currently making its way through Ghana's legislative machinery with the quiet confidence of a document probably written by a majority of people who have never debugged a line of code in their lives is precisely that tollbooth. It is, in its 105 sections and accompanying Schedule, one of the most breathtaking exercises in regulatory overreach this country has produced in recent memory. And given our regulatory track record, that is genuinely saying something.

The ICT sector is the one industry where a boy from Ashaiman, or, like my friend from Pulima, Aliu Wahab, with a second-hand laptop and a YouTube tutorial, can compete with someone whose father went to Achimota. It is the one space where talent, not tribe; skill, not surname; output, not old-boy network, still carries meaningful weight. It is, bluntly, the only functioning meritocracy left in Ghana's economic life.

And our government, with the NITA Bill 2025 has decided that this is precisely the sector that requires the most elaborate regulatory architecture since the tale of Moses coming down from Sinai with the Ten Commandments.

The Absurdity of Section 46: Certifying Everyone, Everywhere, Always

Let us begin with what is, without competition, the most extraordinary provision in this bill. Section 46(1) states, in plain and unambiguous terms:

"A person shall not be appointed as an ICT professional in a public or private institution unless that person is certified by the Authority."

Read that again. Public or private.

This is not a provision that limits itself to government systems handling national security data. This is not a narrow carve-out for critical infrastructure. This is a provision that means the software developer at a startup in Osu, the data analyst at a logistics firm in Tema, the web designer freelancing from her bedroom in Kumasi, all of them, every single one must first obtain certification from a government authority before they can lawfully be employed.

Who dreamed this up? Under what theory of governance does it make sense for the government of Ghana which cannot consistently process a DVLA licence within six months, which spent years and hundreds of millions on a national identification system that still cannot talk to the health insurance database to position itself as the certifying gatekeeper for an entire profession across the entire economy?

And here is the delicious irony that the framers of this bill seem constitutionally incapable of perceiving: the government's own ICT record is the single most compelling argument against giving it certification authority over anyone. You do not hand the keys of the wine cellar to the person who has been drinking the wine.

Politicians: The One Profession That Needs Certification Most, and Gets It Least

Since we are on the subject of certification, let us pause to consider who in this country is not required to demonstrate any competence whatsoever before being handed consequential power over millions of lives.

I’m sorry but Jarrell Quansah, Ezri Konsa and Marc Guehi are not better defenders than Harry Maguire.

Also, Patrick Dorgu is not a winger. Take him back to his position.

Even if Al Hilal wins their outstanding game, Al Nassr will still be 2 points clear, why can’t they have the league?

[MHB 101🎹 @micky_awuah]

@rps_josh All fullstacks begin at a point, mostly from backend so you end up heavier on one and good enough on the other. But then, the term fullstack I think goes beyond backend and frontend, it spans across devops and all that so yes it takes a senior to do that not just the MERN combo
