To regard the illegal mining activity taking place close to the façade of the Tarkwa Senior High School, as the story made the headlines recently, as an unbridled bravado is an understatement.
It is an action steeped in outright hubris, an affront to the authority of the state by foreigners whose immigration status is yet to be ascertained. It was taking place at a time when the country has virtually arisen against the degradation of her environment her sources of water, the rivers, threatened as never before.
Without seeking to be xenophobic, we think that the mongoloids do not consider our laws worth respecting. We know how such bravado in China can, in most cases, attract the life sentence and possible harvesting of the organs of the dead.
We know the level President Akufo-Addo has taken the galamsey war to and cannot therefore fathom why in spite of this reality foreigners would be as daring as the Chinese whose bravado attracted this commentary.
If after so much media campaign and a subtle national declaration of war against galamsey some Chinese would ignore our deployed soldiers in the field and warning not to dare us, the import of their action presages trouble. They appear to be forearmed having been forewarned.
We must be ready to confront what lies ahead. Two issues emanate from this development; one being that the Chinese must have stood on something to be able to be so daring. They must definitely be drawing support from a Ghanaian who thinks he is so virile and well connected that nothing would happen to his Chinese partners even if they are busted. Secondly, the galamsey operatives must be readying themselves for a final onslaught on those fighting them – their sights on our gold bearing rocks and rivers.
We would not go into the merits or otherwise of the case – the story the Chinese suspects already within the confines of a court of competent jurisdiction. Suffice it to point out however that those engaged in illegal mining activities otherwise called galamsey would do everything to have their way but since we are war at with them and this being our country, we shall win.
Pockets of their activities are definitely ongoing across the country because after all there are many Ghanaian collaborators who are ready to sell their birthrights to the strangers.
President Akufo-Addo has shown the way, resolutely and determined to deal a fatal blow to everything which threatens our sources of water and destructive of our environment in a way we too should emulate.
We are holding this country and everything within it in trust for future generations and if we fold our hands as foreigners destroy our environment, posterity will judge us harshly.
Those who dare us and continue to mine illegally and unsustainably should be made to face the law. Foreigners among such culprits should be deported without delay because by their actions, they do not care a hoot about our laws and interests.

I have said time and again that this galamsey fight will fail. How can you fight the one who feels u. Where is Amewu, he started the thing gidigidi, wher is he now. He thinks planning is like implementation were. You want to fight a super power by making noise all over around. The Chinese are just laughing at us, wait for the next invasion. It will be butubutu
And why not. Dr. Borrowmia was on all fours, svcking d!cks for loans in China.
No doubt that white men call us black monkeys.
this is why black people are easily colonised. Black people have stuuuuupppppidddd people as their leaders. These people will give out their land sisters and daughters to be proooostitutes to any foreigners. Ghanaians are the number 1 stuuuuppppid black people. Ghanaians let foreigners spit on them and take their resources in the name of "ghanaian hospitality" Ghanafuor wu y3 kwasiiia paaaaa!!!! Ghanafuor = gymifuor!!!
THERE ARE NO LAWS IN GHANA: BLACK PEOPLE ARE FUUUUUULS. BLACK PEOPLE CAN BE BOUGHT AND BRIBED WITH 2 GHANA CEDIS. FOR THE FIRST PLACE HOW DID THESE CHINESE ENDED UP IN GHANA? DON'T WE HAVE IMMIGRATION MINISTER? OR SOMEONE IN CHARGE OF IMMIGRATION? Can someone from another country just get up, come to Ghana and go to any parts of the country and start mining? Where are our law enforcement officers? Are our laws working? CORRUPT IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS AND SOME POLICE AND MILITARY PERSONNEL SHOULD BE BLAMED FOR ALL THE INFLUX OF FOREIGN ILLEGAL MINERS IN THE COUNTRY WITH ACCOMPANYING ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION AND DESTRUCTION OF OUR WATER BODIES. AGAIN, BLACK PEOPLE ARE FUUUUUULS. NOW I HAVE UNDERSTOOD WHY BLACK PEOPLE WERE EASILY COLONIZED.
the chinese will take your gold and give it to you as loans, grants and aid! Shutttttt up and let the chinese take your gold, so you can go and beg them for loans with it. Ghana leaders are all nkwasssshiafuor, NDC and NPP alike.
this is because our leaders take every opportunity to go to China to beg for aid and money. The chinese know you are so ***barred word*** that you do not know your land if filled with gold whiles you and your leaders are all BEGGARS who crawl to them cap-in-hand.
