"Stop Galamsey now" will only be a slogan if there is no provision of alternative livelihood opportunities for displaced communities and small-scale miners.#JoySMS

Your final flight on August 6, 2025, became our shared heartbreak a nation’s breath caught in the thick forests of Adansi Akrofuom. Yet in this wrenching loss, we find your everlasting gift: the profound power of your purpose.#GhanaMourns

To Dr. Edward Omane Boamah and Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed: You soared toward Obuasi not for glory, but for Ghana’s soul to shield her rivers, her soil, her future from the scourge of illegal mining. Your mission was courage; your legacy, our awakened resolve. #GhanaMourns

To Dr. Muniru Limuna, Dr. Samuel Sarpong, and Samuel Aboagye: In your hands, policy became promise. You carried not titles, but torches lighting paths for the marginalized, the vulnerable, the forgotten . #GhanaMourns

To Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, Flying Officer Twum Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah: Your wings bore our hopes. Your steady hands guided our dreams. You were the silent guardians between chaos and calm.#GhanaMourns

Ghana’s mountains now hold your spirits. Her winds carry your names. And in the stillness, we hear your call: Continue the journey. #GhanaMourns

The Naana Jane flight case was Ablakwa's litmus test, and he failed it. It reveals that his famed activism was perhaps less about unwavering principle and more about political strategy. He has shown himself to be a fair-weather crusader.

Your observation about farmers being "disillusioned by political promises that never materialise"speaks to this deeper crisis of trust that extends beyond mere pricing to fundamental questions of dignity,fairness, and respect for those who sustain Ghana's cocoa industry.#Newsfile

The paradox of Ghana's high quality cocoa being smuggled to neighboring countries while Ghanaian farmers receive inadequate compensation highlights the disconnect between quality and compensation in the current system.#Newsfile

Tinkering at the edges of Ghana's cocoa system is no longer sufficient. The challenges are too deep,the frustrations too widespread,and the stakes too high for half-measures.A comprehensive transformation that addresses pricing mechanisms,value addition is the way to go.#Newsfile

Nana Aduna II, your point is not only correct; it is the fundamental truth that should form the bedrock of Ghana's entire cocoa strategy. You have perfectly identified both Ghana's greatest strength and its most significant failure in the global market.#Newsfile

We must stop selling our gold as if it were copper. The strategy must shift from producing the highest quantity of cocoa to capturing the highest value from our unrivalled quality and flavour.#Newsfile

The call for a “noisy reformer” in Ghana isn’t about literal yelling or loud rhetoric, it’s about bold, actionable leadership that disrupts the status quo with tangible reforms. Kennedy Agyapong is known for his outspoken style, noise alone isn’t enough; Ghanaians need substance.

There is no justification, no matter one's political beliefs, for attempting to assassinate a political commentator. The act is cowardly, horrific, and an attack on the very principle of civil discourse that a functioning society depends on. Charlie Kirk

The hope, in the wake of such a cowardly act, is that it serves as a moment of clarity—a reminder that the true enemy is not the person with opposing views, but the violence that seeks to destroy the arena where those views are meant to be contested peacefully. Charlie Kirk.
