Government of Ghana’s strong reservations and high stakes diplomatic interventions following the Canadian Visa Refusal of Thomas Teye Partey of the Black Stars FIFA World Cup team.

Take it from me today: whatever Thomas Partey is going through is, in my view, highly spiritual. As far back as 2022, I sensed darkness surrounding this matter and tried to raise concerns in the way I knew how. Many dismissed it, while others misunderstood my intentions.

I am not claiming to know the outcome of any legal process, because justice must take its course. But I believe that beyond legal strategies and public opinion, there are battles that require people to seek the face of God.

Until God's mercy and intervention are sought in this disgraceful season, I fear the situation may only become more difficult. When Elohim steps into a situation, He can bring light into darkness, wisdom into confusion, and hope where people have given up.

May God's will prevail, and may His mercy speak louder than judgment.

Any serious country would've arrested this fool by now for inciting violence.

South Africa's Government is clearly in support of whatever is going on

[Nana B. @koboateng]

Ghana’s population is expected to be around 34.4 million in 2026. Out of this, about 12.6 million are young people between 15 and 35.

Every year, over 500,000 young people enter the job market looking for work.

This alone should make jobs one of the biggest conversations in this country.

But look at us.

Many of us are busy defending politicians who already have jobs, official cars, free fuel, security and monthly salaries.

Meanwhile, the young people defending them are the same ones struggling to find work, pay rent, start businesses and build a future.

Sometimes I wonder if we really understand the trap we are in.

[Nana B. @koboateng]

The rot is so deep that in Ghana today, when a young person speaks, the first question is not whether the person is making sense.

The first question is, “Who paid you?”

That alone should scare us.

We have become so used to people selling their conscience that honesty now looks suspicious. Patriotism now looks sponsored. Speaking the truth now looks like an agenda.

And the saddest part is that the youth, who should be asking the hardest questions, are being trained to fight each other instead of questioning the system that keeps failing them.

They have turned our poverty into a weapon, our loyalty into a market, and our anger into entertainment.

So instead of demanding better roads, jobs, schools, healthcare, internet, drainage, security and real opportunities, we are busy asking which party someone belongs to.

A broken country does not only destroy buildings and institutions. It also destroys the people’s ability to believe that someone can still care without being paid.

That is the real tragedy. Ghana must work!

Hunger and premature ejaculation

[Weffrey Jellington @jeffwellz]

Mahama is the worst person to make excuses for. He’s been an MP, Deputy Minister, Minister, Vice President, and is now in his second term as President. The time for long speeches explaining the problem is over. You know what the problems are. Get to work and solve them.

[Jasper Ziggle 🥷🇬🇭 🇺🇸 @JasperZiggle]

🇬🇭🚨Per my checks and according to sources near the GFA, they are planning to place Thomas Partey as the 1st player to exchange handshake in Ghana’s match against 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿England since the English FA are planning for their players not to exchange handshake with the Ghanaian midfielder due to the Rape case allegations on him.

And if you Skip Thomas Pertey’s handshake,you have to skip all.

The Ghana FA considers this as one of their mind games to scare the Blackstars of Ghana
What do you think about this decision?

[Dr. Banda Khalifa MD, MPH, MBA @dr_bandak]

I have been asked a few times what I think about Yeboah Agyekum Francis.

I have watched a couple of his videos. Not all…

My first honest reaction is that I was genuinely impressed.

1/

The first videos of his I watched were his explanations of Down syndrome and insulin resistance.

I do not say that lightly. These are not easy concepts to explain clearly, even in English.

Breaking them down in Twi in a way ordinary people can actually follow takes thought and real communication skills.

So NO, I do not agree with people who say he should not talk about health promotion or prevention because he is not a “doctor” Or whatever the reason may be.

That argument is lazy.

One of my favorite online health educators is Jessica Knurick. She is a nutrition scientist and public health communicator.

You don't need to be a doctor (MD) to talk about health promotion/prevention.

I believe Yeboah has a background in Medical Laboratory Science.

He clearly has a good grasp of the basic sciences from the few videos I have watched.

If someone understands the science, explains it accurately, and helps the public think better about health, that work has value.

In fact, I would take Yeboah Agyekum Francis over a hundred fitness influencers who understand neither metabolism nor evidence, yet speak with full confidence.

I will pick him over the 100s of unregulated spiritualists, fake Mallam/pastors, and herbalists that have inundated our social media feed.

We need more of him, not less.

2/

With that said, I only have 2 things I wish he would take note of ( Just a word of advice)

Health influence is a serious burden.

Once you build a large audience around scientific credibility, people stop judging you only by what you explain.

They also judge you by what you normalize, what you endorse, and what you attach your name to.

In health communication, TRUST is the currency. And trust is built on two things: accuracy and consistency.

——

2/

My first piece of advice is for him to be cautious about product promotion.

I watched a video of him that looked like he was making an ad for a herbal product or something.

That, to me, is a reputational risk.

I understand the pressure that comes with a large platform.

Once your audience grows, companies will come. Partnerships will come.

But that is exactly why the ethical standard must go up, not down.

A health educator should be more careful than the average influencer.

The larger the audience, the greater the duty to avoid products, claims, and endorsements that may confuse people who already struggle to tell science from marketing.

3/

My second concern, or I would say advice, is his language of divine calling.

You do not need a divine mandate to be a health educator.

That is a slippery slope.

Personal faith can inspire anyone’s work, and there is nothing wrong with that.

But once health advice starts sounding spiritually mandated rather than scientifically grounded, the public may struggle to separate evidence & critical thinking from loyalty.

Good health communication should always leave room for one simple question:

Is this based on evidence?

Mixing divinity and scientific evidence opens a gap for regulators.

——
So what am I saying?

I like what he is doing.

I think he has filled a real gap that we genuinely need.

But I also think this is the stage where discipline matters most.

He needs to be careful about what his credibility is being used to sell.

More aware that once people trust you in health, they may trust you beyond your evidence.

And one final thought

I would actually support the Ministry of Health sponsoring people like him to study public health or health communication formally.

A platform of that size becomes even more valuable when it is matched by stronger training in epidemiology, evidence appraisal, risk communication, and behavior change.

That is all X will allow me to write….

[nana aba @thenanaaba]

The Daily Graphic is a newspaper, not a government bulletin. Its job isn’t to amplify government achievements but to exercise editorial judgement and report what it considers newsworthy.

Doctors on strike affects healthcare delivery and potentially lives…that is undeniably front page news. The fact that the President is seeking investment abroad or that the Vice President is touring flood affected areas doesn’t automatically make those stories more important.

Ironically, criticising a newspaper for not acting as a government public relations outlet is a stronger indictment than the front page itself.

A free press is most valuable when it can decide what deserves prominence independently.

[Nana B. @koboateng]

In 1963, Malcolm X gave a speech called “Message to the Grass Roots.” In that speech, he spoke about the “house Negro” and the “field Negro” to explain how some oppressed people become loyal to power, while others remain loyal to the suffering masses.

When I listen to that speech today, I can’t help but think about Ghanaian politics. Some party loyalists behave the same way.

When they are outside power, they see every problem clearly.

The moment their party gets power, they start defending the same hardship, corruption and failure they used to condemn.

That is not patriotism. That is stomach politics.

Your loyalty should be to Ghana, not NPP or NDC.

[Hon. Linda Obenewaa Akweley Ocloo @HonLindaAkweley]

I believe there’s much to discuss. I’m open to engaging the X community, as I’ve come to realize there’s a lot to hear, more to do, and some explanations to give. Perhaps this engagement will help answer a few lingering questions. 🇬🇭

[Hero 🙏🔥 @SclashSamuel]

@KamaSark Give me money Kama🙏

[Nana B. @koboateng]

The bar was so low, I don’t even understand how NDC is finding a way to go lower.

The previous government was rejected so badly that NDC won 13 out of 16 regions. Ghanaians did not just vote for change, they sent a warning.

All this government has to do is listen, stay humble, work and deliver but look at how some appointees and institutions are moving.

People are suffering and some of them are acting like power is a reward not a responsibility. Ghanaians want results. Thats all.

[Nana B. @koboateng]

@gemini_dna Instead of us to hold them accountable we’re doing NPP vs NDC politics

[Manasseh Azure Awuni @Manasseh_Azure]

Don't scapegoat the KATH CEO. Fix the mess. Silencing health professionals won't solve the problem.

[Nana B. @koboateng]

Credit where it’s due.

I’ve spent months criticizing these digital bills, the Ministry, and the Minister of Communications because I believed some of the proposals were dangerous and needed to be challenged.

Having gone through the amendments, I can say that many of the concerns Ghanaians raised have been addressed. The truth is, all the noise wasn’t in vain. The tweets, the Spaces, the articles, the stakeholder meetings and the public pressure made a difference.

So thank you to the Ministry and the Minister @samgeorgegh for listening. We won’t agree on everything, but listening to citizens and making changes when concerns are raised is exactly how the process should work.

That’s a win for Ghana. 🇬🇭

[Dr. Banda Khalifa MD, MPH, MBA @dr_bandak]

The optics are terrible. That part is obvious.

But the selective outrage is what surprises me.

The problem we have as a country is bigger than one minister posting the wrong picture at the wrong time.

Since independence, our political class has spent years asking citizens to trust public systems they quietly avoid for themselves.

They go abroad for routine medical checks.

They go abroad for delivery.

They send their kids abroad for elementary or high school.

Then they return and speak the language of confidence in the system and reform.

So yes, he should not have posted it.

But the real scandal is the long-standing hypocrisy.

And to be fair, when it comes to giving birth abroad, the motivation is often beyond trust in the healthcare system.

However, it does not necessarily remove the optics problem, but it does add important context to the discussion.

So if we are angry about this, I expect all of us to be equally outraged by our political elite who demonstrate a lack of confidence in the institutions they oversee.

[Kofi Boat @_KofiBoat]

You are a medical doctor and a Regional Minister, married to a nurse. When your wife was ready to give birth, you flew her abroad to deliver. What does that say about KATH, which is in the very region you oversee as Minister? Does it mean you have no confidence in our healthcare system? If you don’t trust it for your own family, why should ordinary citizens? Nyame nkoa ne nokwafo🤧
