  All those ndc babies with sharp teeth went to school with cocoa board scholarship but they have not seen cocoa tree before. Between 1982 to 2016 children of ndc members were sponsored in SHS with the cocoa board scholarship whiles the true farmers who deserved the scholarship were sweating to sponsor their kids in schools. What makes it sad is Ghanaians dont respect the contributions they are making for the country and keep calling them afuom bush people.Politicians visit them only when they need their votes.This is why farmers are not interested in the cocoa farming again. Its better to get quick money through galamsey build your house in the city and avoid people tagging you as afuom.

  @Palanytsia:
  It is unbelievable that we have a national emergency and you post this stupid comment. This is unfortunately, a typical attitude of most Ghanaians where we have serious socioeconomic problems but many pretend nothing is happening. Some even defend behaviours that have been clearly damaging to us. What has receiving a scholarship got to do with a situation where politicians are sponsoring gangs to destroy our livelihoods? Your sycophantic ignorance will result in serious consequences that we cannot deal with.

  It is all in the Agyabadi3 document; use galamsey to raise money for the NPP. So the galamsey fight was just a smokescreen. Those jailed are those who are not in the "qualified" small scale miners list.

  All the people displaced from the cocoa farms will end up in Accra to sprak Twi. The Ga State are not responsible for Galamsey. The Gadangmes will have to compete with them for all social services.

  Akufo Addo and his cabals involved in Galamsay and water pollution are guilty of genocide and acts of terrorism against the people of Ghana.
  
  They're therefore potential jailbirds of the ICC- International Criminal Court because passing laws to pollute forest reserves and water bodies is a crime against humanity according to the UN Resolution 2573 of 2021. They're also subject to Arrest warrant like Oman Albashir in North Sudan.
