A Ghanaian man strongly criticizes former President John Mahama’s recent comments and plans regarding galamsey (illegal small-scale mining). He argues that Mahama has no credible plan to fight the menace and accuses him of being a “liar” and a “scam” who uses his eloquent speaking skills to deceive the public.
The core of his criticism is directed at Mahama’s proposal to send small-scale miners to Australia for training on environmentally safe mining. The speaker dismisses this as a ploy to “steal money,” questioning why Ghana’s own specialized institutions, like the University of Mines and Technology (UMaT) and the University of Natural Resources, are being bypassed if such training is genuinely needed.
He contrasts Mahama’s current, softer language—rebranding galamsey as “small-scale mining”—with his previously tough anti-galamsey rhetoric while in opposition, calling him a hypocrite. The man warns that if Mahama’s approach is followed, Ghana faces a dire future of environmental destruction and a breakdown of security, where even soldiers and police could be overpowered by illegal miners. He concludes by expressing his disappointment that some Ghanaians are applauding Mahama despite what he sees as a complete failure and a dangerous deception.
Today, I had the honor of visiting and consoling the wife of the legendary Daddy Lumba. In these difficult times, it is important we stand together, offer comfort, and remind one another that love and support are stronger than grief.
May God continue to strengthen her and the entire family. 🙏🏾❤️
