Hi honest people!

This goes to the honest people of Ghana and not cowards or hypocrites who use God's name to deceive themselves. I am very confident I have a suspicion of the root cause if authorities would listen to me without corruption or bureaucracies. My number is 024 plus 190 plus 7371 or 027 plus 399 plus 4080 or 050 plus 710 plus 2039.

It is sad and we live in sick world of evil people who would secretly incite minors and children to commit suicide. They tried to do that to my sister when she was only about 12 and God revealed it to me save her. I will discuss how I save her. God loves me and loves my family.

These criminals continue to hack my PC to stop me from reporting such crimes. Now, I suspect the current government may possibly be affiliated with all kinds of conspiracy to kill or destroy the health of the some people in Ghana. My reasons is that I have reported these criminals to the appropriate authorities and they seem to manipulate my complaints to hide the truth whiles the criminals continue to kill and destroy health including attacking myself and my brains with the same secret weapons.

The suicide inciting weapons are Mind Control Weapons that include; Remote Neural Monitoring, Voice-to-skull weapons, Electroencephalogram, Directed Energy Weapons and other laser weapons used to make people become depressed and feel like ending their lives. It is a global secret crime aimed to reduce world population as part of the New World Order as I suspect from my research by multiple literature review online and my science background in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. I can discuss in much details and as I continue to identify some of the criminals by piling a list of potential suspects from gangs who stalk me.

So all these men are killing off themselves and white folks tell you polygamy is out-dated?

Regarding self-harm, I too blame the GH folks living over-seas. There are tons of opportunities to help GH folks living inside and outside of GH but GH folks that "escape" Ghana for places like Europe, the Americas and Asia, usually never look back to really e of help in Ghana, as a collective. Ghana is not as bad as the "escaped" Liberians, but GH folks outside of Gh don't have a clue.

Let me not waste my time any further by placing my email on here, none of you GH folks inside or outside of GH will use it to gain better insight on how easy it is to help your family, extended-family and all of Ghana too.

Ithink the current economic hard in the country affecting the parent also affects the children. Some children struggle to get 1single meal a day turn by roaming around, not to talk of slippers and pants to wear. They become school dropout seeing their colleagues going and enjoying won't they be frustrated? Those slavery serving at Aunt and Uncles home subject to beatings and hunger......

One thing that could be off the radar screen of this problem is the effects of bullying in schools. Our educators and parents should keep keen eyes on this 21st century cancer in schools.

Let's be clear. Over 1 million people every year complete suicide worldwide. Suicide is most closely related to undiagnosed, unrecognized or poorly treated mental illnesses. Most of these illnesses show their first signs in young people(adolescents) but we choose to ascribe the early behavioral changes to witchcraft, spiritual causes etc. It is unfortunate that the chief psychiatrist failed to use the opportunity to really educate the public. We are more aware of suicides because of the ease of communication these days. Other factors can increase risk as others have said. Unemployment, lack of future options, drugs, alcohol, childhood physical and sexual abuse etc.
This is a serious problem. Our govt.spends less than 2% of the total health budget on mental health. Therein lies the biggest problem contributing to completed suicides. Let's not be ostriches about this too and pointlessly politicize what is indeed a massive pulic health problem.
