The Ewes in notorious NDC government have sold all the mineral land in Central, Eastern and Asanti Regions to these Chinese. NDC government does not care. They are in the business of making money. The Chinese are perfect business partners for these Ewes, for they want corrupt people like the Chinese to work with.

Take the law into your hands and deal harshly with these stupid Chinese. Do you think if they don't have the backing of the our notorious NDC government, the Chinese would have behaved like this? Blame notorious JJ Rawlings and his satanic revolution.

Ghana has failed and democracy is not good for us. what kind of people are at the hem of affairs in Ghana? Chinese and their behavior in Ghana is really making me sick. I am writing straight from China. I published series of stuffs here and even wrote to ministry of foreign affairs in ghana to be extremely careful with Chinese behavior in our country.I wrote 35 pages to them. Ghana has failed. Could Mahama invite me or hire me to restructure security network for Ghana? Our system is too lose...even Togo is better than Ghana in terms of security. Ghana is a very sick and HIV bedeviled country. Why not hire me to restructure security network for ghana?

why must we always expect the government to always act on our behave even if the problem is just at our doorstep. it is the leaders and the members of the community who should rather act. i believe it is these same chiefs who give out the land or site for the mining activities and not the government.
we have to learn to help our government rather than wait on the government. lets learn from Anas folks if we love our nation.
the behavior of the police in that community was also wrong which also needs to be reported to higher authority.

Neither NPP which legalized galamsey nor NDC which keeps a blind eye because of the Chinese loans they are always seeking will ever solve this problem. Too much corruption on both sides! The only solution to the galamsey situation is for the people to deny both NDC and NPP political power again.

It is strange how any foreigner from any equally underdeveloped part of the world could just come to Ghana and start doing anything anywhere. Indians (most of them running away from poverty in their country) consider themselves superior to Ghanaians; the Chinese have just followed under the tacit supervision of the corrupt NDC government.

There should never be an excuse for the people of Africa to be so foolish like this,poverty should never be an excuse for such stupidity, all over Africa is the same problem, businesses that the Governments will not give to its own nationals they will give foreigners because of kickbacks.
Does the region minister say he is not aware of the problem?
Does the Chief and its leaders now know of the problem?
Does the police say they have not heard about the problem?
They all have their share of the bribes so they keep quite, its the youth of that city that should clear the chinese from there and take over their businesses.
Come and see whats happening in china, having even a visa that does not permit you to work and you are caught working, the employer is fined about 100,000 rmb or 16,129 usd, you the illegal worker, you will be fined half of what what the employer paid.
You will be imprisoned 5 to 15 days and after you are deported and band from China for 5 years.
This is for every foreigner in China , All the african countries are aware of this treatmnet but no wise african leader can stand toe to toe with them .
If its loans , they are not free so whats the big deal?
Foolish and backward Africans, all they know is sex and having many children who they dont take care.

The simple truth is that there is NO GOVERNMENT in Ghana.

For what is the first duty of a Government? It is to make sure that its people are SAFE; that their property is PROTECTED; and that they enjoy a reasonable standard of living.

Which of these criteria has the Mahama Government been able to satisfy?

NONE!!!

It is therefore incumbent upon every community to take its own measures to protect its interests.

Without water, there can be no life. The Chinese and their galamsey collaborators are destroying our water. They are murdering our future generations. Now, we are allowed by international law to prevent ourselves from being subjected to genocide. We have the right, under international law, also to resort to self-defence.

So what are waiting for?

Our Government is in the hands of self-seeking self-defined "dead goats" who couldn't care a penny if our future generations live or die. To wait for these gangsters to save our water is to accept that we deserve to be murdered.

The People's Republic of China treats the various "sovereign" states of Africa as colonies. There are small minded Africans in each African Republic, who are willing to be bought by the Chinese. These Africans then become the surrogates for the Chinese. Every time I read in the papers, or hear on radio or television that the government of the People's Republic of China is building or has built a bridge or office structure as a gift for any African country, I cringe. They are colonizing us right in front of our eyes - and in a very heavy handed way! China has a population of over 1.7 billion human beings. Ghana is estimated to.now have a mere 27 million human beings. China can send 27 million of its citizens to Ghana, thereby doubling Ghana's population, without breaking a sweat. In the 1970s through now, China adopted a one-child policy where no family was allowed to have more than one child. One of the unintended consequences of that policy was that ordinary Chinese families aborted female fetuses resulting in an overwhelming male population which is now in their twenties and thirties. All these men and no women for them. China is sending these men overseas. A lot of them are in Africa - ignoring our laws and taking over our continent. And like fools, we are allowing it. The Chinese Ambassador in Accra goes livid when numbers of Chinese are arrested for breaking our laws. Our government leaders take bribes from the Chinese and overlook the territorial integrity of our countries. We are hopelessly compromised. The Chinese grant a loan to build a road or bridge. Instead of employing Ghanaians to do the job, they bring in the excess Chinese. Foreign aid have been the bane of our existence for generations. China is a very dangerous country to have for a friend.
