@valentine_25294 @sugabelly Nigerian govt is majorly made up of men so she’s still not wrong per your assertion.

[Ty Ngachira @anto_ty]

When Tyla said she is not Black but Coloured, she was not speaking into the American conversation about race at all. She was speaking in the language of her own country, shaped by its own history. Yet her words detonated in America as though they had been aimed there. This is what happens when a nation has spent a century convincing the world that its definitions are the only ones that matter.

America’s greatest export has never been war. It has never been democracy. It has never been freedom. America’s greatest export is the dream of itself.

It is not that the films are inherently better. It is not that the music contains some mystical note absent elsewhere. What America has, and what it has always had, is money, reach, and a machinery built to make its image the centre of the world.

This was not accidental. It was policy. It was the soft arm of empire. To project yourself outward until your face is the first one people recognise in the mirror.

And so the American way of life became the default. Other cultures were filed into two neat drawers: savage if they challenged the story, exotic if they could be sold back to you.

If you are Black, your first cinematic self was likely African American, the rapper, the sitcom character, the hero of a Spike Lee joint. If you are white in Europe or Australia, it was the white faces of American sitcoms and stadium tours. Whoever you were, your first image of yourself came with an American accent.

Over time, Americans began to believe the story they had written. When you grow up in the country that built itself into the cultural Mecca, it is easy to think you are the best simply because you are on top. You forget, or never know, that the game was fixed long before you played it.

But the monopoly is breaking. Nigeria’s Nollywood now speaks across oceans. South Korean dramas leap borders. India’s Bollywood never needed permission to fill theatres. Spanish thrillers keep strangers awake at night. Slumdog Millionaire, Squid Game, Money Heist, Shōgun — all aimed partly at the American market because that is where the money is, but no longer about America.

And here is the thing. Black Americans, who fought to be seen in their own country, became the global face of Blackness. That is a remarkable achievement. It was also made possible by the same system that excluded everyone else. Now Africans, Caribbeans, and Afro-Latins tell their own stories without making room for American centrality, and the absence is noticed.

We grew up watching you. You did not grow up watching us. And now the internet has levelled the ground just enough for others to speak without hesitation. Tyla’s words land differently because the world no longer accepts America as the only arbiter of meaning.

America’s greatest export was never its art. It was the power to decide which art, and which identities, the world would see. That power is no longer yours alone. There is both justice and loss in that.

A Ghanaian Health Science student at Howard University in the United States is appealing for financial assistance of over $29,000 to enable her to graduate this December.

According to her, she has been placed on a registration hold due to her inability to settle the outstanding balance on her account.

She explained that despite raising some funds through donations and part-time work, the restriction on international students working more than 20 hours limited her ability to earn enough.

She also turned to her father, who is her sole financial supporter, but he was unable to provide sufficient help due to income constraints in Ghana's cedi-based economy.

The student is now seeking support from the public and benevolent individuals to fulfill her dream of graduating and advancing her education to become a physician assistant, with the ultimate goal of returning to serve medically underserved communities in Ghana.

My mother has cancer. And I need her alive.
and I’m desperate to get her the treatment she needs to survive. I don’t have the means to cover her medical costs, and I can’t imagine a life where she’s not here to see me succeed.

@theatghana He is in Cape Coast, I have my Ghana card with me. Can I share a scanned copy or take a picture with my Ghana card?

[sweet @sincerely_ada]

@theatghana Hello, I can’t find my SIM card and I asked my husband to retrieve it. He was told I should contact you on social media. I’m out of the country and won’t be returning anytime soon. What are the processes please?

You had all the answers to Ghana’s problems in opposition. Had a taste of power and authority and made sure generations yet unborn have nothing to look forward to. You came, you saw and you destroyed completely. #StopGalamseyNow #FreeTheCitizens

For all the global chocolate lovers, Ghana is one of the leading suppliers of cocoa. Illegal gold mining is polluting the waters that the cocoa farmers produce.

Ghanaians are protesting this, and the government responded with crackdowns.

Accra people, its closer than you think!
This Densu flows to the Weija Dam.

The Weija Dam supplies water to a significant portion of the Greater Accra Region in Ghana, including the city of Accra and its surrounding areas. #EndGalamseyNow #FreeTheCitizens

[Aba Appiatewaa @appiatewaa]

Dear @UN, @ilo, @UNICEF, and @MoGCSP_Ghana, each of you have failed in protecting children and promoting their development if #Galamsey still persists in #Ghana. Go back to the UNCRC,ILO convention 182 and the Children’s Act (Act 560). Help! #SayNoToGalamsey #EndGalamseyNow
