I don't even watch football but I remember the World Cup feeling like the entire planet had agreed to stop what they were doing for a month.
This doesn't feel anywhere near that level of hype brev.
Djibouti said they are ready to give Omar Artan Djibouti citizenship and issue him passport immediately in order for him to officiate the World Cup matches in America.
This picture gets funnier as the days go, turn out, everything is okay to the western people as soon as you make sodomy legal
Spent their time whining about Qatar and human rights and completely silent about the USA deciding which supporters to give/not give visa while conducting illegal wars and violating every international law
For each of the 31 days I spent in Korlebu several people on my floor alone died because the electric current was low and the oxygen couldn’t be pumped properly for them. This is the country we live in but your headache as a leader is lgbt people
Dear President Mahama @JDMahama,
Appoint me as the CEO of the State Transport Company. I will provide my own KPIs for one and half years. Sack me if I don't meet them.
We can't sit aloof while appointees run this only asset in the transport sector down. Your appointee took over from someone who had run 180 buses left in 2016 without adding a single bus to that. And to cover his incompetence, introduced an alliance model that enriched NPP cronies.
At least, the alliance model under the NPP ensured buses were branded in STC colours and driven by STC trained drivers. Now your CEO, the NDC appointee sources buses from the Neoplan stations for passengers holding valid STC tickets. The buses are mostly dirty, stinking, and driven by drivers who are not just uncultured, but reckless.
In some cases, STC trained drivers just sit in the bus as passengers observing these drivers.
This is UNACCEPTABLE.
I have a model to bring back this asset to its full glory. I am open to discussions. I could use the Gonja/Builsa playing mates approach but this is a pressing issue that deserves to be treated as such.
I await your responses.
Your personal nightmare packaged in a Builsa girl.
Thank you.

Idris Elba says James Bond shouldn't be "woke":
“Bond is so unrealistic, so a hint of reality is good, but let’s not try and make it woke. I think you’ve got to be pure to what it is: escapism. Don’t try and answer the world’s taste. Just be Bond.” https://t.co/HooRqPvIhr
Suddenly all the people who cared about human rights when Russia and Qatar hosted the world cup and suddenly quiet. .. No fancy documentary from the BBC on immigrants rights. No expose on Crime in inner cities (as we saw in South Africa)
Just silence.
Norway said that they are not going to play in World Cup in Qatar even if they qualified (they didn’t). Denmark left it until the last minute to confirm their participation in the World Cup 2022Germany forced their players to make political statements before the match in FIFA WC 2022 even though some players didn’t want to do it.
BBC literally disrupted the coverage of one of the best opening ceremonies of the World Cup in Qatar just for virtue signaling.
but for World Cup 2026, the whole media is silent other than a few token articles here and there and Norway and Germany aren’t protesting anything when there’s so much to protest about 🤡
Kevin Prince-Boateng said that when he joined the Black Stars, he wondered if the players were dancers or footballers.
This video describes what he meant.
He looked so disinterested. 😭😆
PUBLIC OFFICE, PUBLIC TRUST
I support recognising public officials who perform their duties well and make a meaningful difference in the lives of Ghanaians. Public service demands sacrifice, commitment, and leadership. When public officials deliver exceptional results, we should acknowledge and celebrate their contributions.
However, I am concerned about the standards that govern such recognition.
Citizens place confidence in government when public officials act with integrity and exercise sound judgement. For this reason, we must address not only actual conflicts of interest but also situations that create the perception of impropriety.
The current debate surrounding the Ghana Ministers of State Excellence Awards is not simply about those who attended the event or those who received awards. Rather, we should ask a more important question: should public officials receive awards from events that solicit sponsorships or financial contributions from the institutions they supervise or lead? This is an ethical question that must be settled.
Public officials should be recognised on the basis of performance, measurable outcomes, and genuine impact. Public recognition should never be linked, directly or indirectly, to financial contributions. When organisers seek sponsorship from institutions and subsequently honour officials from those same institutions, they create legitimate concerns about fairness, independence, and credibility. Even where no wrongdoing has occurred, such arrangements can weaken public trust and diminish the value of genuine excellence.
Professor Michael Kpessah-White has publicly alleged that organisers requested payment in connection with an award nomination. Another public sector Chief Executive Officer privately shared a similar experience with me and chose not to participate in the event after organisers made financial demands. These allegations raise serious concerns and warrant careful scrutiny.
I also wish to correct a few misconceptions.
First, the State did not organise these awards. They were organised by a private event management company.
Second, this was not the inaugural edition of the awards. Public officials under the previous administration also participated in and sponsored these events. However, we cannot justify a practice simply because others engaged in it before us. We criticised many of these practices in the past because we believed they weakened accountability and encouraged mediocrity. We should not defend them today.
Ghanaians elected this government on a promise of reform. They expect us to uphold higher standards, strengthen public institutions, and demonstrate a clear departure from practices that undermine public confidence. We cannot advance a Reset Agenda while tolerating conduct that raises avoidable ethical concerns.
Following my engagement with the Deputy Chief of Staff, Hon. Nana Oye Bampoe Addo, she assured me that the government would develop a regulatory framework to guide the Corporate Social Responsibility activities of State-Owned Enterprises. I understand that the committee responsible for this work has already commenced its task. I welcome this initiative and hope it delivers clear standards that promote transparency, accountability, and good governance.
We hold public office in trust for the people of Ghana. We must therefore conduct ourselves in ways that strengthen public confidence in our institutions. We should recognise excellence on merit, reward performance fairly, and reject practices that cast doubt on the integrity of public service.
Ghanaians will judge the Reset Agenda not by our rhetoric but by the policies we implement and the standards we uphold. If we are to build lasting public trust, we must lead by example and hold ourselves to the same principles we demanded of those who came before us.
I conclude by saying; MAY WE NOT BECOME WHAT WE CRITICIZED !!!!

The Greater Accra Regional Minister has no business leading toddlers in crèche who piss their diapers twice a day, let alone be given the mandate to lead a whole region.
After the rains this morning, the Best Regional Minister should step out and take a look at the major roads in her region. Maybe afterwards she’ll return that silly award she picked up last night.
I have observed a worrying trend where many groups are organizing award schemes for CEOs, institutions, Ministers, and other public officials.
Just as it happened under the previous administration, I have noticed that some State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) are being listed or advertised as sponsors of these awards.
Respectfully, I believe it may be necessary for the Chief of Staff to issue a directive on this matter. Significant amounts of funds appear to be going into sponsoring such events, yet the direct benefit to the social contract we signed with the Ghanaian people remains unclear.
Some of these institutions could instead be encouraged to channel their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) resources into more impactful projects such as the construction of schools, AstroTurfs, drilling of boreholes, refurbishment of markets, and other community-based interventions.
Unfortunately, some institutions seem to be continuing the NPP tradition of sponsoring awards largely for the purpose of receiving plaques and recognitions that create the impression of performance.
Anyway… what do I know?
NB : Disclaimer- I do not know the sponsors of this particular awards yet but what does it even mean ? Do they know the KPIs of each Minister ? What is Best Ministers Awards… ? Mtcwwww
