ghana diaspora citizenship suspended — a man with documents outside the Du Bois Centre in Accra

Ghana’s Biggest Investors Drive a Luxury Car Called ‘Limbo’

May 8, 2026

Ghana designed the welcome. Then Ghana had to redesign the welcome in ten days. On February 1, the Ministry of the Interior suspended the diaspora citizenship programme with a “strategic recalibration”—the administrative equivalent of a Ghanaian saying he’s coming, but he’s now going to shower. The DNA and $2,280 fee were dropped ten days later. They were there for ten days, then they were not. But for the Ghanaian man from Atlanta, his business registration still sits at the Registrar General’s Department, his land title at the Lands Commission, and a site plan was added “for clarity.” He calls Ghana home. The systems are just slothful.

Ghana rejected US health deal over data sovereignty while NHIS patients faced system unavailable screens at Accra hospital

The Nation That Gave Its Health Data to India Will Not Give It to Washington: A Satire.

May 5, 2026

Ghana turned down $109 million in US health assistance on the grounds of data sovereignty. The same data had already been sitting on cloud servers in Bangalore for four years. The gap between the announcement and the reality is, as usual, doing the heaviest lifting.

Church Elder Arrested as Galamsey Foreman: The Lord’s Work Took a Detour Through the Rivers.

May 1, 2026

When the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost declared that rivers are too polluted for baptism, Elder David Bobie Peter apparently didn’t get the memo. The Konongo church leader was arrested as the foreman of an illegal mining site at Akyem Morso—caught red-handed in a yellow T-shirt and white shorts after being dispatched by his boss, Mr. Appiah, to “confirm if the task force had arrived.” His cover story? Visiting his farm. The reality? Eight Chanfang machines, twelve water pumps, and the Kume River diverted from its natural course. As the church distances itself from galamsey, one elder chose the excavator over the altar—and walked straight into NAIMOS custody. The rivers weep brown. Julius Debrah wept clean tears for a government appointee. But nobody is laughing.

Ghana’s AI Computing Hub To Run On Generators?

April 28, 2026

The Akosombo fire was on Wednesday. The AI hub was announced on Thursday. There was a generator at the launch venue. It has seen these announcements before. It will be here for the next one. The AI hub is an electricity power cannibal which needs consistent power supply to keep running. Now tell me. Is Ghana ready to sustain such a project with the bit size electricity supply?

Ghana Said Come. South Africa Said Leave Us Alone.

April 24, 2026

Ghana opened its borders to all Africans on April 2. Twenty days later, Ghana’s Foreign Minister was on the phone to Pretoria about videos showing Ghanaian nationals being attacked in South Africa. The pan-African welcome is real. So is the gap between the welcome and the continent it is being extended into.

The ECG finally explains the frequent lights outs over the past few weeks, and it’s nothing we have not heard before. “The outages are not dumsor, they are upgrades. The bills are not overcharged, they are corrections.” New ECG management, same old rabbit out of the hat.

Monetise the Idiocy? Yes, But We Should First Cut The Phone Calls to the Big Man We Know.

April 17, 2026

The proposal to monetise idiocy in Ghana is clean on paper. But in Ghana, discretion is the currency, and the person holding it can convert your idiocy into his lunch money. The handheld device does not change this. It just adds a layer of technology to the negotiation.

Carlos Queiroz arrives as the answer to a Black Stars coaching crisis that produced six hundred applications, two weeks of shortlists, and one GFA emergency meeting. He called it a mission. Ghana called it Monday morning. One must imagine it beginning well.
