Obama is definitely going to be NPP if he were to be a Ghanaian. JB Danquah, Kotoka, Ankrah or Afrifa.(African Triators) When Africa decided to have one currency as proposed and supported by Gadafi, Obama removed him from power under the guise of helping the Libyans get democracy but like everywhere these Americans have been to see what happened to Libya. True too many black women who get up the ladder start eating their own pssy with all these feminist shit that they do. Look at Ursula, she said she eats pussi in public. Someone would say she is a lawyer, minister, MP and all that but she still eats possi and does not respect and if a white man notices it there's nothing wrong with mentioning it

A frafra girl found yourself in America should stay in your lane. I am surprised she lives in America for a long time and still don’t understand the relationship between blacks and whites. They never want you there in the first place, therefore, companies or organizations hire black workers just to fulfill the equal opportunity employment requirements. The least error you commit in such hostile environments you are out. When she manages to get another job to feed herself, I am sure she will shut up and do what’s right.

Don’t go there. The AYIGBE people are not the only people who exhibit Tribalism. They became known for that during the reign of He Who Must Be Obeyed “ His Majesty and Excellency Emperor Efo Jeremiah John Rawlings “. I lived and worked at Tamale and found out that the Dagbani are very Tribal and disrespect people from other tribes. What do you think was and still the cause of rivalry between the Dagomba and Gonja people? Did you ever hear about the Kokomba and the Nanumba people? What led to that major war between them all the time of Rawlings? Yes, what about the Gonja war that started when l was a baby? Tribalism is very ugly and everywhere in Ghana.

I strongly agree with you. Trump may be a Nazi-loving fraudster, but Karen's firing has nothing to do with racism. Karen was fired for two reasons: Trump does not like anyone in the media writing anything critical of his acolytes. Secondly, the Post, like other major media houses, are currently in the process of seeking government approval for mergers or some types of licenses. The Post fired her to please Trump in order to get the government's approval for what it's seeking from the government. Trump is a demented tyrant with an ego fat bigger than his fat ass, and he'll continue to use the power of the Presidency to bully everyone to silence them or get what he wants from them. More white journalists and government officials have been victims of Trump's evil misuse of governmental power to bully and silence people, or in some cases, to get back at his perceived enemies. It's sad that the USA Supreme Court has emboldened this tyrant by ruling that as President, Trump did nothing wrong by encouraging his followers to assault Congress in an effort to overturn the election results that had being the loser of that election. Karen's sin was that as a journalist she used a quote generalizing black women instead of being specific as to the quote having to do with four black women that Charlie Kirk was belittling, even though those four black women are far more educated and more intelligent than Kirk. Under normal circumstances, the Post would have had Karen to retract the generalized reference to black women and state that the correct quote is about four specific black women, and that would have been enough to let her keep her job. These are different times, with a tyrant in office who can't stand being criticized or mocked, yet he himself constantly mocks his political opponents while falsely criticizing them for things they did not do. Again, one wonders how a USA Supreme Court can embolden a President by claiming that he can't be sued while he's in office and that suits against him have to pause until he's out of office, yet the courts continue to entertain personal lawsuits filed by the same President against individuals and corporations while he's still in office. No wonder Trump has found a way to undermine the system to his advantage.

Jeff Bezos' space program depends on US government licenses and government contracts to stay afloat and continue to compete with Elon Musk's space program. Trump doesn't like to see any media print the negative statements that Kirk made about others, and he definitely wasn't pleased to see that quote about Kirk in the Post. Bezos will therefore do anything that pleases Trump to ensure that his space program doesn't get grounded by Trump.

Attiah, a Ghanaian descent, but you couldn't use your platform to talk about the destruction of African environment and lands by the corrupt Ghanaian government and chiefs. You couldn't go after the reason why African is still poor and create awareness in the minds of all black people. Instead you want to use that platform to go after Trump and his people whose agenda is to make America great. I think Attiah is not an intelligent woman and should be deported back to that shit hole place called Ghana her parents come from. Something is wrong with you Africans. Once you get to America you think you have right to talk shit about America. Except you could have used that energy to fight about the rotten system in Ghana. Always misplaced priorities. I am willing to offer 20 million Africans in exchange for just 2 white people, because it is proven that if these two white people lived in Ghana for 20 years, Ghana would turn to another developed country, but if these 20 million Africans lived in USA just like Attiah, USA will turn to shit in 2 years. Let's respect the white race, because we as blacks have proven to be stupid. After years of slavery and we still don't wake up and think like fools
