  If income stops suddenly, what practical skill do most people actually have? One thing that keeps paying daily — even in hard times — is smartphone repair & accessories. Phones break every day. People fix them immediately. Cash changes hands fast. This isn’t motivation talk ***
  
  It’s a practical skill many unemployed and working people are quietly learning now — especially to support siblings, relatives, or community youth. A simple guide by Chukky Oparandu that breaks it down clearly: how beginners start, how repairs + flashing + accessories work, and how it can even lead into IT careers.***
  
  No big capital needed. Some people are buying copies just to empower others this season instead of giving gifts that finish***
  
  If you’re planning ahead for 2026, it’s worth a look. You can search “Chukky Oparandu” on Amazon or check selar.co/m/chukky (there’s even a French edition). Just sharing what many are quietly using to prepare***

  President mahama and military hierarchy is confused. First time in history's they can't pay pensioners that even served more than 30 years. In July ,25,Ghq (legal) release a letter warning dfc, why the government is not paying pensioner of 30 years served by the current CI. The pensioners that served 30 years unprecedented military service is going home with same military pay with old constitution instruments *(CI) of which The so called Devil Akuffo Addo did to thank soldiers. The angel mahama, who overtly want 3rd term dont want to pay, hence hence using the old tactics to pay people's served 30 years as if they served 15 years. President mahama, use ghana money of 70 million akuffor addo left for soldier pension to pay them than to save the exchange rate and stop looking for your third term. Pay retired solders what is due for them. Stop confusing us with your fucking illustrations with thr old CI. We know where Armoury is, and the people manning radio rooms. Be warned. Pay the right amount.

  This so called sliding whatever is not and won't be in the interest of Ghana.
  It appears this government only want to shortchange Ghanaians. How on earth can you tell me that it is unlawful to charge 10% royalties but rather charge 5%? When they are being exposed they now find an excuse to tell us it is unlawful to charge 10%?
  Ghanaians are not interested in any sliding whatever. We just want our 10% and if you cannot do that for us better forget it. We are not interested and leave it in the ground. At the appropriate time when we get a better government with a good offer then we will transact business with whoever comes our way.

  It is amazing how all of a sudden a lawful figure of 5% is bigger than an unlawful figure of 10%. Just recently Our able Burkinabe president striked a 50% royalty deal and Ghana is slashing 10 to 5 using an old age sliding royalty not absolutely in the interest of Ghana. Mr. Minister if there is any interest of Ghana to protect then let us see current trends in your transactions. We have freely given away all our natural resources to strangers and yet they are again granted tax exemptions when the ordinary citizen is paying so high in taxes. What is benifiting who? It sounds quite interesting when politicians and leaders who have already betrayed and failed the nation continue to behave this way. Let us at least replicate the ownership tenure in the farming regime where a farmer produces the natural resource (crops) and yet receives 50% share. Unfortunately when it comes to our precious minerals which is already deposited then we talk of what 5%!!!!. This is broad day robbery. Asemsebe

  We are getting 10% in the Lithium deal but because of the incompetence of NDC it has been reduced to 5%. NDC does not have Ghana at heart. 2028 is around the corner. We will uproot you like cassava.

  Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah established the State Gold Mining Company comprising of the mines at Tarkwa, Prestea, Dunkwah and Konongo. Ghana owned the mines 100%. Just like Ghana Gas which we own 100%. General Acheampong took 55% shares of Ashanti Goldfields Corp. for Ghana. Why are we negotiating for 5% shares for our minerals. Tarkwa School of Mines is now a full fledged university.
  All African governments must take absolute control of our minerals and extract them for our own development instead of giving them away for free. No compromise.
