Fantastic piece, Nana. You are a true patriot and clearly love Mother Nature nature lover. Bravo for speaking out.

A greedy and powerful few are destroying the future of our nation's younger generations, with total impunity regardless of which party is in power in Ghana.

Yet, this beautiful country of ours has everything that nations like Thailand - which attracted 32.25 millions visitors in 2016 and is projected to earn U.S.$46.51 billion from tourism in 2016 - posses, and can also earn billions of dollars annually from tourism: an industry that could provide jobs for millions of young people nationwide.

Question is: Who will have the guts to say that we are better off leaving the gold in places like Atewa in the ground and focuse on their tourism potential instead?

Why are our nation's political class so shortsighted? Hmm, Ghana - enti yewieye paa enei? Asem kesie ebeba debi ankasa!

Ghanaian chiefs are the most stupid rulers on the face of entire planet.Who could chiefs sit down for robbers come to the villages to come and loot their money while they lacks hospitals or clinics,markets,schools,community centres,libraries,water,toilets,rest house or hotels,post office and what have you and they allow criminal to come and take their money and poison them because of their selfish greed.Ghanaians are too fools to be classify as human being.

It is not the chiefs, but the big people in government who give approval for these operations. The chiefs are not consulted before the approvals are given.

Blame useless Mahama and his NDC Govt. They borrowed billions of dollars from the Chinese Govt and in return allowed those misfits into our motherland to plunder our natural resources. God will punish all of them.
