Ghana’s Galamsey, Self-Destruction by Design

In response to the “Galamsey is Personal’ Hashtag Initiative” article being shared in social medias.

There are serious mental health and education issues plaguing Ghana— by design.

A conquered, corrupted, miseducated and traumatized Black/African people for over 400 years by white supremacists/imperialists who are very aware.

Over time African generations of the “old colonial Gold Coast” (and other parts of Africa) were set up to gradually self-destruct.

The continuous “destruction of Black civilizations” by white invaders is ongoing since their escape for the Caucasus Mountain and Northern Russia Areas.

Depopulation of Black/African people have always been the order of the day in the old Gold Coast via from colonial Eurocentric governors to present day World Health Organization, Bill and Melinda Gates.

IF TRUE, sadly, the old ladies in the villages are working overtime bleeding umbilical cords of babies born with birth defects.

Critically think, white imperialists who dominated chattel slavery having to negotiate, sign contracts with their miseducated former enslaved; and after being ushered out by African leaders like Kwame Nkrumah --white imperialists have been ready to fully return and take back complete control of the valuable resources under the feet of Ghanaians and above—see Ghana cocoa farming business.

White imperialists probably have no concern so much to live in the old Gold Coast (more than likely a tour of duty similar to white European governors did in the past)— their made war zone, what they referred to as their “slave hub”, which is now even more polluted, stilled ravaged and ‘underdeveloped’ in many areas … But—white imperialists almost certainly will not miss a step to bring in more equipment to mine and drill, including using Black/Africans for hard grueling labor, slave wages, if necessary ship them from other parts of Africa (possibly, with the aid of corrupt African politicians and wicked chieftaincies, again???).

Gaps in the history-- not taken seriously, not taught in many Ghanaian schools properly, which leaves room for the atrocity in history to repeat itself. Let’s be proactive, not just reactive.

Recommended, the people stop government officials from signing anymore mining and drilling contracts until the land heals and there is some kind of clean-up project, especial of water sources—no matter how long it takes.

It’s been said, if Ghana can’t dig it up, leave it down there-- fish, farm, feed the people.

Learn other innovative ways to bring in commerce—encourage and fund doable inventions, build industry (environmentally safe), offer small business loans; and teach application in schools, not just theory.

Hashtags, there is more to this, not just about “Galamsey” –
