Addo knows the solution. Mahama knows the solution. But when it’s our party guy doing galamsey, he’s innocent. When it’s the other side, he’s guilty. This hypocrisy is why galamsey never ends. At this point, forget left or right — Ghanaians just need Toare. We all love Toare, don’t we?”

MAHAMA WILL COME AND ARREST YOU!!!!!!
NDC PROPAGANDA ON GALAMSEY HAS BACKFIRED ON THEM!!!!!!!!!!!
ARRESTS!! ARRESTS!!! ARRESTS!! WHERE IS THE 24HR ECONOMY????? EVEN WE CAN’T SEE THE NKOKO NKETEKETE ANYWHERE!!!
THE 24-HR ECONOMY PROMISE WAS A SCAM!! THE GHC6,500 PRICE PER BAG OF COCOA PROMISE WAS “FRAUD”!!!! THE CEDI-DOLLAR RATE ACHIEVEMENT NDC CLAIMED RECENTLY WAS COSMETIC!!!!
WELL DID RAWLINGS DESCRIBE THE NDC DISRESPECTFUL SMALL BOYS AS BABIES WITH SHARP TEETH. NOTABLY, OFOSU KWAKYE, OKUDJETO ABLAKWA, SAM GEORGE, AKANDO, OTUKONNOR, FIIFI KWETEY, SAMMY GYAMFI INCLUDING OPANYIN BONE , ASIEDU NKETIAH & EVIL OFOSU AMPOFO. AT SOME POINT HE EVEN IDENTIFIED THEM AS HAVING ACID MOUTH.
LOOK AT THE PROPAGANDA MAHAMA AND HIS BOYS USED TO HYPNOTIZE GHANAIANS TO VOTE FOR NDC.
GOD BEING SO GOOD IT HAS ALL BACKFIRED ON THEM BIG TIME. NANA ADDO’S GOD IS SUPER!!!!!!!!
PROPAGANDA ON NATIONAL CATHEDRAL, BAWKU CONFLICT, CEDI-DOLLAR RATE, DOMESTIC DEBT EXCHANGE PROGRAMME, LGBTQ+, SCHOOL MEALS, PRESIDENTIAL JET, NANA ADDO’S AIR TRAVELS, GALAMSEY, NURSES, E-LEVY, COCOA PRICE, NANA ADDO’S HEALTH, CECILIA DAPAAH, GOLD FOR OIL, ROAD CONTRACTS, KENKEY PRICE, SPARE PARTS, PETROL, 24 HOUR ECONOMY WHICH IS THE MASSIVE ONE, HAVE ALL BACKFIRED ON EVIL AND CORRUPT NDC. RECENTLY, NDC PROPAGANDA ON PEACE IN THE COUNTRY HAS ALSO BACKFIRED BIG TIME!! GHANA LOST ITS 4TH POSITION ON GLOBAL PEACE INDEX IN SUBSAHARA AFRICA AND IS NOW RANKED ON 61ST POSITION!!!!
NO WONDER RAWLINGS ABANDONED NDC, MADE FRIENDS WITH NANA ADDO BEFORE HIS DEMISE. NANA IS GOD-SENT NO ONE TEST HIM!!!!

Reverend Joseph Osei-Bonsu! Can we drink gold? - Catholic Bishop fumes over galamsey's environmental impact...

Hmmm! So soon, the Catholic Bishop has found his voice! So what were you drinking before NDC came to power about 8 months ago? Why the silence until now? Because my tribe's party was then in power.
Most of the people engaging in the very thing you are condemning, galamsey, are the very people who sit in front of you when you are preaching.
Hmmm! Have you ever asked them or told them, "Can we drink gold"? Because of your doing, but no!
When we open our mouths because of tribalism,
When we do politics because of tribalism,
When we criticize because of tribalism,
When we accuse each other because of tribalism.
Hmmm! These galamsey activities have been going on even before Mahama's NDC came to power or won power, and this tribal intention Reverend Joseph Osei-Bonsu was silent about it, but now he has found his voice for reasons only known to him!

Where were they when Akufo Addo issued licenses to criminals to mine? Now when galamsey has taken root and difficult to eradicate, the idiots blame the current government. Fairness and justice were preached by Jesus but these idiots calling themselves bishops don’t emulate his teachings. You looked away when Akufo Addo oversaw the most corrupt government and practices in the country. We will not allow politicians in robe to play us fool.

All these reactions about the negative effects of gallamsey coming at this time of the gentle President John Dramani Mahama's administration is sinister. Why didn't these voice from these Bishops come at the time of president Akufo Addo? Because Akufo Addo was their man and they want to retain their party in government they pretended not to see and the menace of gallamsey. They are bringing up all these with the intentions to lay blame squarely on John Dramani Mahama and the NDC and to incite voters against the party. For 8 good years NPP even made gallamsey worse in this country, arresting citizens who were demonstrating against gallamsey, yet these angelic voices of Bishops were not heard in support of the demonstrators because their party was in power. Hypocrites!

The Bishop is right, when you get gold and your citizens can’t get water to drink and die including animals and fish in the rivers then what. Fish lives in the water and you have destroyed their environment for them to live that’s evil. Human beings need water to survive and you destroy that one also all because of greediness for money why. All these evil people will get their judgement right here on earth before they die. God is watching all of us we must all rise up against these evil people who are destroying our environment Ghana belongs to all of us and not just few. We’re many than them speak up fellow Ghanaians if not we’re all going to die from water poisoning.

All of them now finding their voices after hypnosis by Nana Addo and the Npp. Perhaps they are still oblivious of the fact that Ghanaians have completely weaned themselves from their biased influences prior to the 2020 and 2024 elections. Just us the scales have been removed from the eyes of Tertiary Students, especially from our Universities where previously it was considered a taboo to be affiliated to the Ndc. My dear Bishop, until your following find true reasons to side with you, your days of assuming blind acceptance of your position on national issues are gone forever, forever and forever.
