the president is a shill, an ineffective leader placed there by english and american powers, he's a piece of cowardly dookie like so many before him. @Nkrumah Was Right and always has been. it's sad to think what could be. how easily these people sell out their country makes me sad at times to be Ghanaian.

The day after imposing anti-LGBT laws to imprison their fellow Ghanaians, there’s Explicit sex on national TV.
The hypocrisy SMH
nikkas will laugh and make jokes not seeing the bigger picture.
But to the Black race, especially descendants of Africans who were enslaved because of the refusal to see their humanity, this shouldn’t be funny at all.
Centuries after the Trans-Atlantic Slavetrade, Ghanaians are now making it legal to imprison fellow Ghanaians. For being adults having consensual sex.
(Which is nobody’s business in the first place)
It’s a repetition that’s similar to European colonizers’ behavior during slavery, that got us enslaved in the first place
Colonizers who took our African Ancestors and:
1. Stripped them of the humanity of agency over their own bodies. (what the core goal and repercussion of this bill is)
2. policed them (to maintain control)
3. treated them as property, opposed to humans.
When the Europeans introduced Christianity to Central and West Africa, they made Africans see eachother as less human to capture and sell into the Trans-Atlantic Slave-trade.
A example is Elmina Castle, in Ghana.
It was the built Built in 1482, by Portuguese traders.
Elmina Castle was the first European slave-trading post in all of sub-saharan Africa.
At Elmina Castle, our African Ancestors were held in dungeons, UNDER the Church before being sent to the Americas.
While there were luxury suites for the Europeans in the upper levels.
Fast forward to now, Ghana is spending $400M it doesn’t have..
to build a damn Cathedral, instead of improving its necessities SMH
$400M on a cathedral for an imposed colonial religion.
While risking hundreds of millions of aid for stripping fellow Ghanaians of their human rights to have consensual sex as adults.
All while currently in Ghana there’s
• a struggle with its currency
• a deepening economic for the average Ghanaian
• malnutrition
• a lack of access to clean water and sanitation services
• its natural resources deals are horrendous
• infrastructure needs to be built.
During THIS crisis, Ghana chooses to focus on LGBT while its government is failing its ppl.
It’s pure mental illness how easy and bloodthirsty we as a ppl find reasons to justify killing, harming and oppressing eachother with the history of Slavery we share.
What does Ghanaians/Africans imprisoning fellow LGBT Ghanaians/Africans for existing do, besides empower White Supremacy?
This is just one of many examples that makes me think:
“How can we STILL be so desensitized to eachothers dehumanization and focused on the WRONG things?”
It’s a shame that we refuse to see the humanity in eachother, with the history of Slavery reminding us DAILY how important it is in a world that’s designed to see and treat us as lesser human beings.
Damn, I'm surprised to see you hold this belief. A lot of you dudes really lose the mask when it comes to hating gay people. What you're saying makes no sense, though. White Christian missionaries in Africa are helping to foster this environment of hate. They're influencing these laws, and in some cases, helping to write them. They're exploiting religion and using money to have them enacted at the snap of their fingers. I think that falls more in line with white supremacy than the so-called Western LGBTQ advocates who only believe they shouldn't exist, because people shouldn't be persecuted for simply being themselves.

Colonialism is still alive and well. It's just done through these multinational companies which are protected by state militaries.
oh no doubt....i'm glad he nipped that shyt in the bud. the G8 gays want to control populations and masculine proclivities with limp wristed fakkitry and dysfunction.
Doesn’t mean much. Just because it was there in the past, we should adopt this alternative lifestyle. I see this narrative being pushed online. Leave the chichimanism to western world.It has always been in African indigenous cultures

I can also link LGBT activists groups to the gay push in Africa. For every Soros, you will find Koch brother. It is battle.Damn, I'm surprised to see you hold this belief.

People cheering these backwards laws on should read this: "No Choice but to Deny Who I Am" Violence and Discrimination against LGBT People in Ghana
There's no such thing as a "gay push" in the way you believe. There are only people advocating for everyone to be treated humanely. It's a battle against discrimination.
But we know it will work. First the alternative lifestyle acceptance, then teachers showing books with gay lifestyle to children, then hiding from parents those gay days to prevent parents to remove their kids for that day. The playbook is known. Gays will always exist, even in African countries, what I don’t want is the outlandish push for alternative lifestyle.
It's their country, their choice. I don't hear all this condemnation for rich Arab countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE. US doesn't threaten to sanction them over their anti-LGBT laws.
