"There is no recorded history that the British ever saw themselves superior to the people of Gold Coast"
Queen Yaa Asantewaa would be turning in her grave.
I remembered on this TL someone said black South African slaves were probably so lazy, the white decided to just take the land from them and develop it for themselves. It’s an unfortunate statement.
In Ghana, then GoldCoast, after the slave trade ended, the chiefs demanded the British leave or pay to occupy the forts and castles.
The British administration left, leaving only the group of traders effectively led by Captain George Maclean who traded with the local chiefs.
Later on after the foreign jurisdiction Act and British settlement Act, the British and Chiefs signed the Bond of 1844 that allowed for British to partake in Gold Coast’s justice administration system.
There was no segregation in Gold Coast. There were no White schools and Black Schools, or White communities and Black Communities.
There is no recorded history that the British ever saw themselves superior to the people of Gold Coast. In fact it was recorded that they marveled at the internal system of administration and governance especially the broadest monarchy at the time, the Ashanti empire which had some of the most advanced constructions in the sub-region.
Every high school and mission school in Ghana established by the British or the Church was mixed with British and Gold Coast citizens. Infact every registered citizen of Gold Coast was automatically deemed to be a registered citizen of the British empire.
The British spent similar years in South Africa and decided they would rather segregate and cut the blacks off from that land and their places. The segregation was so terrible that there were entire communities in South Africa that were cut off from black Africans. That was so unfortunate that the Ghanaian government who had already gained independence from the British massively supported the independence of South Africa.
The fight against apartheid in South Africa was a decades-long struggle spanning from the 1940s to the 1990s. Black, Coloured, and Indian South Africans utilized mass civil disobedience, armed resistance, labor strikes, and global boycotts to dismantle a brutal system of institutionalized white supremacy and racial segregation.
Ghanaian taxes contributed massively to this. However there were many formally recorded expressions of the behavior of South Africans that every High Commissioner of Ghana knows to take the threats of violence from black South Africans very seriously because these people do not read their history books and tend to quickly forget who fought with them. They now stutter in front of their white South African masters and become aggressive to their fellows.
They beg the White SouthAfricans for jobs and these whites still maintain that there has been a long history of poor work practice, stated misbehaviors and easy resort to violence that they will rather cut off the Black South Africans from their communities and workplaces in SouthAfrica.

More than 10 years later after the adoption of the Agenda 2063 in 2013, the Nigerian government has failed dismally to "Silence Guns by 2020" in Nigeria. This is a gross violation of human rights.

I just finished an interview with Brad from Across Nigeria… and honestly, I’m sitting here stunned.
Today, he buried 14 Christians in a mass grave.
Two were infants.
One was a 4-year-old child.
And this isn’t some recycled internet story or political talking point. Brad was literally there today helping bury them. While on the way to investigate one attack, another Christian community was attacked. He said the violence is happening so fast they can barely keep up anymore.
What shocked me even more is this:
Brad shared that 72% of all Christians killed worldwide last year were killed in this region of Nigeria.
72%.
And hardly anybody is talking about it.
The mainstream media should be all over this. Instead, most people scrolling social media today have no idea our brothers and sisters in Christ are being slaughtered while churches are being forced underground.
Guys… this matters.
Please watch this interview.
Please pray for these families.
And PLEASE share this everywhere you can.
At this point, WE are the media.
WE are how people find out.
WE are the distribution network.
If enough ordinary people start sharing the truth, eventually the world will have to pay attention.
Watch the full conversation and help us get this story out.

PLEASE REPOST:
I built South Africa's first black-owned electric vehicle company.
I have deployed 70+ EVs with Blue Chip Companies, Local SMEs and exported to the UAE.
I have invested R9.5 million of my own money over 10 years.
The IDC has given me R0.
They gave a white-owned competitor R69.9 million.

Very profound, very.
No matter how rich you are individually as a Nigerian, we are all collectively poor. Very poor.
You only realize this during emergencies. A fire breaks out and there is no fire service. An accident happens and there is no first aid, no ambulance, no system.
Today, a world boxing champion like Anthony Joshua was involved in a car accident and not a single ambulance showed up. Someone that rich and globally known. People only gathered around him like it was a carnival. No safety measures. No trained response. Just chaos.
An accident that claimed two lives o!
Last month, an aide to a sitting governor was stabbed at a political event.. Somebody lifted him on his shoulder ! Such a gory sight!
Still no ambulance
Not even for a governor’s aide.
That is real poverty.
In Nigeria, money does not save you in a crisis. Influence does not protect you. When it matters most, everyone is poor.
To the rich and influential Nigerian who thinks demanding a better country is for the poor masses, one day you will understand. In an emergency, you are just as poor as the rest of us.
Nigeria is poor.
Poor poor.
RIP to the dead and wishing Anthony Joshua quick recovery.

DA is basically saying that the deputy president is a ceremonial position that doesn't wield any exec power. So, they would rather have John as a minister in the pridency, but a Westminster-style of prime minister who'll enjoy the exec powers of a president.
