Comon ghana is excelling in everything while your glorious strong imbecilic excuse for a nation is as retarded as the name implies ... Strong man in chains and shackles is a useless strong man Sir.

And what I am saying is ... Ghana is a weakling abi? But ghana is now the giant of west africa while the self proclaimed excuse for a faint is still sitting bare arse in the mud, playing with feaces. Wake up and see the world passing by....please!!!

If Twitter with a market valuation of a meager $56 Billion means Ghana with ordinary office is the giant in west Africa, then what is Nigeria with Google, a $1.3 Trillion valuation company and the largest TECH conglomerate in the world with their main HUB in Africa right here in Lagos Nigeria?


See how lowly and poorly you people think.

You people think like 2-year-old kids.

Very embarrassing.

Franzinni:
but ghana has politicians too ...so how do you explain that ? They seem to be getting something right

I see shithole written all over you and your ignorant and low self-esteem body.

Intimidation and threat


In conversations with my Ghanaian colleagues, some expressed fear of reporting on certain issues and groups. Others said they have had to overlook certain stories or seek permission from state agencies.


Fear of intimidation or physical harm informs which stories they tell. More broadly, it has affected their capacity to do their work and provide the public with reliable information.


Recalling an incident with a story about the Ghana Armed Forces, they continued: “Sources in the army called to warn me of possible violent attacks against me if I broke the story.

Stifled sources

Journalists are not the only group who censor themselves due to the threat of violence, harassment or intimidation

Experts, business owners, and public sector workers such as teachers, nurses, and university lecturers often decline to speak to journalists for fear of victimization and possible job loss. Business owners and other private sector people have lost contracts as a result of speaking to the press, while public sector workers face transfers and other sanctions.

Covert interference

In addition to the challenges listed above, there are other forms of government interference that undermine media freedom. The constitution bars governments from interfering with the work of the media, but that has not stopped successive Ghanaian governments from using covert tools.

The NPP government appears to have taken oppressive tactics up a notch with the closure of opposition radio stations for alleged “non-payment of taxes”. The government has been accused of acquiring surveillance equipment that some fear may be used to hack electronic gadgets belonging to journalists.

For example, Ghanaians still don’t know what motivated the government to cancel a power agreement which in turn lost the country a $190 million US government grant.

The inability of journalists to verify leaked documents and the unwillingness of some media companies to use verifiable information meant this story, like many scandals, was reduced to political entertainment.

Ghana Travel Advisory

Urban areas due to crime.
Intercity highways after dark due to crime.
Areas near the northern border in the Upper East and Upper West regions due to crime.
Parts of the Bono East, Bono, Savannah, Northern, North East, and Upper East regions due to civil unrest.

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/ghana-travel-advisory.html

Urban Areas – Exercise Increased Caution

Violent crime, such as street mugging, is more frequent in urban areas as compared to their surrounding suburbs. These crimes are also more prevalent at night and in isolated locations.

The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens. Local police may lack the resources to respond effectively to more serious crimes.

Intercity Highways After Dark – Exercise Increased Caution

Armed assaults on private vehicles and public transports occur more frequently after dark, often by criminal elements using blockades to slow down and restrict movement of vehicles.

Stargate254:


The real tech competition in Africa is mainly among SA, Egypt, Kenya and Nigeria. So if twitter was looking for what you are saying they would have chosen among these countries but they didn't.

Twitter has even explained why they picked ghana, its bcoz its more democratic. its that simple. Twitter is not like facebook or insta..etc... Through twitter officers, ministers, presidents, entire governments have been brought down ... So twitter wanted to pick a country where they are sure the govt wont want to silence them once ppl start turning on their ownn govt through hashtags
