This ship must be destroyed now. Its presence will just create more problems. Just burn it down to show that we are serious. We don't need it.

STOP THIS INSANE APOCALYPTIC GALAMSEY

"When the Last Tree Is Cut Down, the Last Fish Eaten, and the Last Stream Poisoned, You Will Realize That You Cannot Eat Money." Native American saying

To paraphrase this wise saying; When the Chinese have destroyed our environments beyond repairs, poisoned our rivers with all the hazards and health related problems that comes with their Galamsey, when the fishes in ours rivers are contaminated with lead and mercury which render them not edible or die if you eat them; then and only then will stupid, stupid Ghanaians realise their folly That when the last Chinese locusts are gone - you cannot eat gold or money.

Damm! prayer camp Ghanaians who always blame someone for their woes cannot eat their cake have it. You cannot sit and let the Chinese with a few greedy bastards Ghanaians like that illiterate Wontumi destroy the soil that feeds you, or bite the hand that feeds you or cut the branch you are sitting on; If you do then you are dumb beyond redemption and only have to blame yourselves and nobody else. The government must intervene and stop this insane apocalyptic Galamsey NOW before it destroys our motherland.

The Invensible Forces and other macho groups should be debriefed and trained to handle the galamsy menace. The energies of the vigilante groups should be put to good use to resolve the problems of Ghana.

This illegal mining has its accompanying factors to decimate the Akan population . Thus pollution of water resources would by all means cause birth defects in infants as well as many deaths among the communities. This mining menace was orchestrated by the Old guards of CPP and the NDC to get rich quick and to balance the population in Akan areas by dwindling it through marginalized means but their quest is backfiring.

How can we still be allowing foreigners to be mining illegally, destroying our waters that provide livelihood to our rural poor ? What is NANA doing -- just collecting his paycheck ?

How can they have license to mine directly in the river?? Even if they have, the regulatory body that issued the license (minerals commission) and the lands and natural resources minister who signed the license should be prosecuted. It is against the mining laws of the country to mine directly in water bodies.

It is pathetic that Ghanaians will connive with foreigners to destroy the lands and water for their selfish interest. Ghanaians are a major part of the problem because no Chinese can arrive at Kotoka and know where to find gold in the bush. Our own people direct them.

Some who contracted them and the indigenes of whoever the person is must be arrest, prosecuted and jailed too. Either chiefs, politicians, MPs,Pastors, soldiers, police and any other person. After that, ban either small scale mining or galamsey from this country. Whatever the name is.
