It is people like you who release the land for the illegal activities. I believe galamsey is happening under your jurisdiction. What are you doing about it?

The destruction of our farmland and rivers started when bawumia introduce that useless policy of GOLD FOR OIL.
meaning ghana need more gold to be able to get oils. one may ask what happened to oils we claimed to have ? exchanging something with something you claimed you already have ? what is the sense in that ? the end result for that nonsensical policy is galamsey, the destruction of farmland and drinking water. maybe they are thinking we will drink the oils they are exchanging our gold with. such animal too want to rule ghanaians may god forbid.

Nana is talking about science and technology, how do you expect these illiterates to comprehend? If anything at all, Nana has recanted, let NADAA do the same. Bush traps were not allowed in the forest reserves some time past. Who would have dared to have entered a forest reserve with heavy duty excavator? The tropical rain forest girds and protects the entire globe and what is left and reserved in Ghana does not belong to the shallow thinking matemehos who are interested in only short term plans and goals.

Nana - Your call came late, but it is still better to be late than never. Now, call on all of your fellow chiefs (paramount and others), to issue similar statements specifically calling on Akuffo Addo to revoke the legislative Instruments (LIs) that he signed giving galamseyers unfettered access to Ghana's water bodies, food sources, and forest to engage in irresponsible mining and POISON them with heavy metal toxins. It is ironic that those protesters who misbehaved on the day the day of the protest are in jail, but the galamseyers who are doing FAR FAR WORSE are actually being PROTECTED by soldiers to continue POISONING the water and food sources of over 32 Million People, and for almost 8 years, the same government has failed to held them accountable.

Even in developed countries demonstrators are arrested NOT for demonstrating but for acts contrary to the reasons for the demonstration.

TELL ASANTE BLOGGERS THIS…….
This message is for all ASANTE (and all fair-minded) bloggers.
The Dormaahene, Nana Agyeman Badu II, has consistently
& persistently claimed that Otumfour Osei Tutu II is not a king.
He says ‘there is no king in Ghana’. However, the GA MANTSE,
King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, is always publicly referred to as ‘king’.
Is the Dormaahene afraid to publicly state that King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II
is not a king (because, according to Nana Agyeman Badu II, “there is no
King in Ghana”). Similarly, the following esteemed traditional rulers
are publicly called ‘king’:
1. Yaa Naa Mahama Abukari Gariba II, overlord of the Dagbon Kingdom
2. Yagbonwura Bii Kunuto Jewu Soale I, overlord of the Gonja Kingdom
3. Togbe Sri III, overlord of the Anlo Kingdom
4. Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin II, overlord of the Akyem Abuakwa Kingdom
5. Etc
All ASANTE (and all fair-minded) bloggers should invite Nana Agyeman Badu II to
to publicly tell Ghanaians that the above-mentioned traditional rulers are ‘not kings’
(that is, if he is brave, bold and ‘man’ enough to do so !!!)…..instead of focussing
his unwanted attention on the Asantehene. Please pass this message to any Asante ((and all fair-minded) bloggers that you know.

Ga manste is not trying to create paramount chiefs in Bono. Thats the only reason Dormaahene said Asantehene is not a king because hes trying to claim powers he doesn't have. Asantehene creating chiefs in Bono is over.

Galamsey will kill all Ghanaians if the government doesn't stop it immediately. Stop all gold mining in Ghana period. Water is life. KILL THEM BEFORE THEY KILL US. All these animals doing galamsey should be killed and throw away. The galamseyers are poisonous cobra snakes. All Ghanaians are going to die gradually if the government fails to stop galamsey. Water is life. All of our water bodies, lands, vegetations, air we breath have been poisoned by these dangerous chemicals. All fishes in our rivers have been poisoned and died. Wake up Ghanaians this is very serious. Where are interior minister, Ghana C.I.D boss, Ghana police force, Ghana army. Use the police, and the military to weed out all these so called galamseyers. Kill them before they kill all of us. Do we have leaders in Ghana? The country has become like animal farm. Institutions in Ghana are not working period. Where is minister of interior, IGP, CID boss, Ghana police, judges, lawyers? Does Ghana CID respond if one reports a criminal? NO. Ghana police CID, judges know who are doing the galamsey but they don't care. IGP knows them but he doesn't care. Corruption has turned Ghana to animal farm. Ghana police know all the criminals doing galamsey but they don't care. Africans can't rule themselves period. Do we have thinkers in Ghana? Who are the thinkers? I want to know them. Institutions don't work in the country. Nothing is working in Ghana

Nana tell me which part of the world you can remove police car key and throw it away in the name of demonstration? It's time laws must work in ghana. Europe and America have developed because the laws are working. Ghana and Africa are left behind because (whom you know) we are lawless people and corrupt. Some chiefs like you are all corrupt selling land to the citizens at expensive price but not using the money to develop their area of jurisdiction. Those arrested people must go to court to proof their innocent period. Worse things will happen if these people are release to go free without proper trial.

Monumental failure Galamseyhene Akufo-Addo has backed himself into a corner, and he now is acting in desperation and confusion. The real enemy of Ghana is Galamseyene Akufo-Addo who has allowed galamsey to mushroom across Ghana. Incompetent nation-wrecker Akufo-Addo is Enemy No. 1.

Let no one bribe you from demonstrating. A massive one to the doorsteps of those judges and those issuing licenses.

Ghanaians are cowards.

The NPP has failed woefully as a government and has refused to and will never ban galamsey. It should not not be considered as an option and therefor voting for NPP is like committing suicide. It is a useless government. But, it is also dangerous to vote for NDC as a stop gap government because we can't vote for someone who has not told us what he will do for us if he is elected. Ghana is at a crossroad and in a governance dilemma.
