There are places we pass through in life… and there are places that become part of who we are.
Manchester will forever be my home.
To the city, the club, and every supporter, my sincerest thank you. These past four years have been unforgettable, filled with moments my family and I will carry with us for the rest of our lives. There simply aren’t enough words to describe the happiness and warmth we’ve felt here.
Thank you for every cheer, every memory, and for making us feel at home from the very first day.
Forever a Red Devil ❤️
A British company paid £1.2 million in bribes to senior Ghanaian officials to win £26 million in government contracts.
This happened during Ex President Jerry Rawlings administration.
That British company pleaded guilty in a UK court.
But guess what, not one of the Ghanaian officials who took the money has ever been charged in Ghana.
The company was Mabey & Johnson, a steel-bridge manufacturer based in Twyford, Berkshire.
They confessed at Southwark Crown Court in London on September 25, 2009. The judge was Geoffrey Rivlin QC. The lead prosecutor was John Hardy QC.
Mabey paid £470,000 directly into the personal accounts of the NDC government officials.
They then set up a separate £750,000 slush fund called the "Ghana Development Fund."
That fund was managed by three people: former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, former Finance Minister Kwame Peprah, and Baba Kamara, who was the NDC's Deputy National Treasurer at the time.
The court named the recipients and the bank accounts in open session.
Former Roads Minister Dr. Ato Quarshie took £55,000.
Senior Finance Ministry lawyer Dr. George Sipa-Yankey took £15,000 wired into his Midland Bank account on Hill Street, London W1.
Former Deputy Roads Minister Amadu Seidu took £5,000 wired into his Woolwich account in St. Peter Port, Guernsey.
Inter-City STC Chairman Edward Lord-Attivor and a man named Edward Attipoe took £10,000 each.
A Finance Ministry desk officer named Saddique Boniface took payments that included money for school fees.
Mabey & Johnson did not absorb any of this. They simply inflated the contract prices and Ghana paid for its own corruption.
The British court fined Mabey & Johnson £6.6 million and ordered the company to pay Ghana £658,000 as reparation. The directors of the company were later sentenced to prison in 2011 for the same scandal.
In Ghana, nothing happened.
Sipa-Yankey was Mills' Health Minister in 2009 when his name was read out in London. He was traveling with the President in the United States when the news broke. He resigned to "clear his name." CHRAJ later cleared him.
Today, in May 2026, Dr. George Sipa-Yankey is the Board Chairman of Tema Shipyard and Drydock Limited, appointed by the current Mahama administration to lead the turnaround of one of Ghana's most strategic state assets.
A British court named him for taking foreign bribes.
Sixteen years later, the Ghanaian state put him in charge of a shipyard.
Lee Kuan Yew was 100% right 60 years ago, and is 100% right today.
Ghanaians are so poisoned by party lines and tribalistic bullshit we have ZERO will to be one nation. We don’t stand for shit except our parties and our selfish little interests.
We don’t have leaders with clean hearts or the iron will to govern this country and discipline its people. Just weak, corrupt clowns. No iron-fisted ruler with the balls to drag this country out of this gutter.
We gained independence with gold, diamonds, oil, cocoa, bauxite… basically almost everything under the sun, and 60+ years later we’re still a broke, impoverished shithole with terrible roads, hospitals and schools.
Fucking disgraceful.
Basically Frank Oliver Kpodo worked at the Ministry of Defence as Director of Procurement. For 29 months, that’s almost 2 and a half years, he was receiving over GHS14 million every single month in salary. He did little to no work. That’s GHS427 million total. To one person.
To put that in context, the entire Ministry of Transport’s budget for the year is GHS151 million. This man collected nearly 3x that. Alone. In salary.
And he’s not the only one. The Auditor-General found over 6,000 government workers collected GHS800 million in unearned salaries.
But Kpodo alone took more than half of the entire amount. Experts say this doesn’t happen alone. Someone validates the payroll. Someone approves it. Someone looks the other way every month for 29 months.
Now here’s the part that should make your blood boil: He’s still at work. Currently serving as Director of Finance and Administration at the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources.
Meanwhile we have hospitals with no beds. No medicine. No doctors. This is where the money goes.
We are not angry enough o
We are slowly loosing all our water bodies to Galamsey but our leaders don't think it is an emergency enough to act.
All they care about is the money and the optics.
May God help us all
For over 100 years, Ghana has mined gold.
We are Africa’s top gold producer.
Yet since independence, we have gone to the IMF 17 times. 17 times o, with all this gold under our feet. We’re always begging for help.
Inflation hit 54.1% in 2022. The cedi lost 30% in that same year. What this means is, the cost of living exploded so badly that something you bought for GH¢100 one year earlier cost about GH¢154 a year later on average. For food, it was nearly GH¢160.
The gold was here through all of it.
So the problem is not that Ghana lacks gold. The problem is that corruption, weak institutions and galamsey keep turning wealth into suffering.
#EndGalamsey and #SaveThePeople !
Behind all these “Koka” jokes is a real distraction.
Instead of uniting to fight galamsey, the focus has shifted to “they’ve been paid.” Meanwhile, our rivers are being destroyed, food is being contaminated, and water treatment is getting more difficult and expensive, as even the Ghana Water Company Limited has warned.
Why would anyone need to be paid to talk about something that is clearly affecting everyone?
This is the play: distract, divide, and avoid accountability.
Galamsey is the issue. Don’t lose focus. This government is something else o
About 60% of Ghana’s water bodies have been polluted by galamsey. Cape Coast has already lost 75% of its clean water supply. At this rate, Ghana could be importing water by 2030.
If people are being paid to speak the truth about this crisis, then those funding it are doing something right.
End galamsey as promised to Ghanaians. Stop pushing agendas. Lives are at stake.
They’ve turned a national emergency into jokes so you stop paying attention. While timelines are laughing, rivers are dying, food is being poisoned and water is getting harder to treat. This isn’t politics. This is survival. Stay focused. End galamsey!
NDC promised us paradise. We voted. Now we’re asking for it. Instead of answers they call us NPP.
NPP did the same thing. Promised us paradise. We voted. When we asked, they called us NDC.
Both of them promised to end galamsey. Both of them watched our rivers die. The Pra is gone. The Ankobra is gone. The Bonsa was shut down in January 2025 because the water was too poisoned to treat.
Same script. Different actors. Same suffering.
We’re getting tired of being insulted every four years for asking for what we were promised.
