Just imagine for a moment if the Iranian president stood up at the UN, imagine if Ahmadinejad had come to the UNGA, and said: “Do I annihilate the Jewish state, and do it quickly? Do I drive Israel into hell?”
Imagine the Western and global and media response and outcry.
It's always strange how the US uses its unparalleled military and economic power to strangle and suffocate the economies of small nations it dislikes, then points to the intended devastation as proof that those countries are bad and don't work, with no reference to the US role.
🇵🇸 🇹🇷 “ Today, Gaza is not only the world's largest graveyard for children. It is also the place with the highest rate of child amputations in the world. Gaza has become the most inhumane and shameful concentration camp of our time.
In Gaza alone, over the past 3 years, we have lost 74,000 of our brothers and sisters, most of them women and children. We lost them to what we regard as acts of state terror by Israel. The people of Gaza are still searching for their loved ones beneath the rubble. They are recovering the bodies of their spouses, their children, or parents. Innocent children who have lost their arms and legs in Israeli attacks are trying to return to school.
Meanwhile, the West Bank is witnessing the most severe period of what we regard as settler violence and terror. In Jerusalem, Muslims and Christians are being denied access to holy sites. There is an attempt to destroy UNRWA, which is our collective initiative.”
At the end of your 4 year mandate, the people of Ghana will judge by the things you promised them and how you’ve improved their standard of living
If today the Galamsey that you campaigned against has declined such that the water bodies are getting safer by the day, the good people of Ghana will have a say on that
The Youth manifesto that you promised the 1-3-3 formula as a solution to unemployment, the people will judge whether the successful implementation of the formula has indeed created more job opportunities and reduced unemployment
You promised them ORAL, they will ask how much out of the $21 billion you recovered
These among many others will be your scorecard
For now, get to work
All we’re saying is that npp isn't the standard. The standard should be good governance & improvements in the basic things Ghanaians lack with every day. So if those fundamental issues haven’t been delivered yet under the ndc then there’s no upgrade to speak of.
There’s a line from Roy Keane autobiography in 2002, where he talks about the mentality of the United team in the first 15 minutes of games. I’m paraphrasing, but it was along the lines of “we know we have more quality than any other team, the only thing the opposition could ever be better at than us is intensity and fight. So for the first 15 minutes we always go out high intensity, starting from the tunnel. We let them know within 15 minutes that they won’t even beat us at duels and battles, then when we’ve killed their spirit, we start playing football”.
That was a treble winning captain talking about running and dueling first, before anything. No great team is 20th in running.
A disgrace.
@Benn_X1 The USA would implode if there were no wars. That's just the nature of America culture and politics. There has to be an external enemy, real or imagined (at the moment, China fits that imagined enemy). Otherwise, it would turn on itself.
Talvez torcer pro Manchester United não seja sobre ser feliz e ganhar títulos...
Talvez torcer pro Manchester United seja sobre lidar com os sentimentos negativos e aprender que há coisas na vida que estão fora do nosso controle
1/7
Calling @sarkodie the most versatile rapper in the world sounds provocative until you actually audit his catalogue against global hip-hop metrics.
Versatility isn’t just changing beats; it’s rhythmic adaptation, genre hybridization, and longevity.
My breakdown 👇
2/7
The Purist Trap:
Most technical fast flow or battle-tested emcees fail the moment they step onto commercial production. Their cadences sound rigid, foreign, and over-calculated.
Sarkodie did the opposite. He came up in the cutthroat Kasahare battle circuit and weaponized that exact technicality across global radio records.
3/7
The Rhythm Problem:
Western hip-hop relies primarily on linear 4/4 swing (boom-bap or trap).
African popular music is deeply syncopated, shifting between Highlife, Hiplife, Azonto, Amapiano, Drill, and Afrobeats.
Rapping on syncopation requires an entirely different internal metronome. Sarkodie rides all of them without sacrificing cadence.
4/7
The Mary Paradigm Shift:
In 2015, at the absolute peak of electronic Afrobeats club dominance, he released Mary, an album recorded entirely with live instrumentation, built on traditional Highlife foundations.
How many mainstream hip-hop titans have pivoted their core sound to acoustic live-band heritage without losing their base?
5/7
Bilingual Percussion:
Language isn't just lyrical; it's instrumental.
By alternating between Twi and English, he uses Akan tonal inflections as percussive accents over the drums. It allows for rhythmic pockets that standard English-only rappers mechanically cannot access.
6/7
The Counter-Debate:
Does he sing like Drake? No. Does he pivot to ambient jazz/funk like André 3000 or Kendrick? No.
His versatility isn’t vocal acrobatics, it’s flow elasticity.
Whether it’s chopping with E-40, trading bars with Vic Mensa, or crafting anthems with Castro, R2Bees and King Promise, he never sounds out of his depth.
7/7
Over 17 years at the summit, commanding both the street cipher and the arena festival stage across four distinct sonic eras.
If versatility means mastering every pocket across both Western and African time signatures, who legitimately has a stronger resume? No one but Sarkodie.
🚨 SON DAKİKA:
UEFA tarafından cezalandırılmasına rağmen, Celtic taraftarları bir kez daha tribünleri Filistin bayraklarıyla kapladı.
Celtic taraftarları dünyanın en kaliteli taraftar grubudur; bu konuda tartışma yoktur!
Brighton are pressing the fuck out of Arsenal with Pascal Gross and Chema in their midfield who aren’t athletic at all. Stop excusing United’s dogshit press down to “athleticism”. We’re so behind on coaching details and fitness it’s a joke.
