The saddest thing I've seen today. Journalist goes to report from an illegal mining site. This was is was his press jacket at the end of it all. Blood and mud.

Thankfully, he is alive despite being battered, seemingly tortured and robbed.

President Mahama has made his first ministerial nominations, all to sectors that embody some of our gravest crises. Much will be expected of them in this reset.

Four years ago today, I had a front-row seat to the chaos in Ghana's Parliament; a fitting prologue to a disastrous four years in governance. I could scarcely process the nonsense streaming through my viewfinder.

Legislators brawling, ballot snatching and the abominable incursion of the military.

Galamsey sends new year wishes. A water plant that feeds a major township in Western Ghana is being shut down.

I hope the people on the vanguard of the river ecocide show more anger this year. As at now, there is no indication that the incoming administration will stem the galamsey pollution tide.

As expected Mahama is full of gratitude to Ghanaians and his team for the overwhelming mandate which indicted the Akufo-Addo government.

He also revealed formal transition work with the Akufo-Addo administration begins in two days.

John Mahama about to give his first speech as president-elect of Ghana, crowning his historic comeback to power.

Oh, and Ghana is about to get its first-ever woman vice president after this election. Congrats Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang.

But that shouldn't cover the fact we are likely to see a backslide in women's representation in Ghana's Parliament.

A comeback for John Mahama in the Ghana election is all but certain.

He's already thanking Ghanaians for returning his party to power.

How I feel about Ghana's sham democracy and our duopoly as the years go by.

If you are a bodybuilder and plan on visiting Ghana, best to postpone your trip until after our elections on December 7 🤭

I'm always eager for a @thecontinent.bsky.social headline to slap a grin on my face.

Great that @thecontinent.bsky.social is here. Sharing my recent work for them on the sustained ecocide being swept under the carpet in Ghana. #StopGalamseyNow
