Look at them. I don't blame them but Mahama who promised to let galamsey go on unabated, and some of us have no idea about the dangers that lies ahead as far as galamsey is concerned.

WHENEVER YOU HEAR “EYE ZU” ALL THAT FOLLOW IS NKWASEASEM NKOAAA!!!!
YOU SEE, NDC THRIVES ON PROPAGANDA AND PLAYING ON THE INTELLIGENCE OF THEIR GULLIBLE FOLLOWERS. WHAT NDC IS TRYING TO DO IS BRING ALL THESE CHARLATANS UNDER ONE UMBRELLA, PUT THEM ON PAY ROLL AND URGE THEM TO DECEIVE THE MASSES. THEY DO THE SAME THING TO MEDIA PERSONALITIES AND SOME MAD BLOGGERS LIKE KEVIN TAYLOR WHO WAS RECENTLY ACCORDED PRESIDENTIAL TREATMENT WHEN HE ARRIVED IN THIS COUNTRY. NDC JUST INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT.

Galamsey will destroy the land and water within hours which takes generations to recover or may never recover.
Say no to galamsey!

Whether Galamsey puts food on your table or not, it’s ILLEGAL. The robber can’t justify his stealing from people because it puts food on the table. You stupid women should be arrested.

Man do you care for the environment that supports your life? Be logical and matured in your analysis. You mean electorates should have voted for NPP party to be free to intensify Galamsey and destroy the environment? Oh mother Ghana if this is the kind of human resources we are currently producing,then we're doomed. Visionless and nation wreckers. Let's champion responsible and environmental friendly mining schemes to safeguard the future. 8 people lost their lives fighting Galamsey and you're indirectly supporting it. Lack of knowledge my people perished.

Loud mouth. Let's us be responsible. Should we trade tomorrow for today. Destroy the future for today in the name of meeting our basic need ( food) while the source of healthy living is being destroyed and polluted? How does other regions who are not blessed with gold deposits surviving which others who claim they cannot survive without Galamsey? Responsible and environmental friendly mining ways is the future. Those crying must be encouraged and help to learn trade or school. Ghana must not be destroyed to feed the few to the detriment of majority and the future generations. No to Galamsey.Environmental friendly mining the way forward. Nothing else. Else we will beg for potable water and others. Ghana hear.
