Blakk Rasta on a passionate mission to revive a sense of patriotism among the younger generation in Ghana

Popular Ghanaian reggae musician, Blakk Rasta, is on a passionate mission to revive a sense of patriotism among the younger generation in Ghana. As part of his Dear Ghana Tour, the musician is urging Ghanaians, especially the youth, to embrace their national identity and hold onto the core values that define the country. In a candid conversation with Ital on A1 Radio’s City Bus monitored by Apexnewsgh, Blakk Rasta expressed his deep concern over the apparent lack of patriotism within the country. He lamented the diminished sense of national pride, particularly evident in religious institutions where materialism has overshadowed patriotism. Blakk Rasta highlighted the need for Ghanaians to prioritize their country over seeking opportunities abroad, emphasizing the importance of fostering a strong sense of love and respect for Ghana. He expressed disappointment in the societal trend of glorifying corrupt individuals instead of recognizing and celebrating true patriots. “All we are interested in is electing thieves and awarding them, celebrating them for being corrupt and calling them smart instead of us calling them thieves.” Taking his message directly to the youth, Blakk Rasta is conducting visits to Senior High Schools as part of the Dear Ghana Tour. Through engaging discussions and conscious reggae music, the musician is encouraging students to establish Young Patriots Clubs within their schools to promote a culture of patriotism and responsibility. Blakk Rasta’s efforts to inspire a new generation of patriotic Ghanaians are resonating strongly with the students, who are eager to learn more about their country’s history and culture. The impact of the Dear Ghana Tour is fostering a sense of pride and commitment to Ghana among the youth, paving the way for a brighter future filled with patriotic citizens.

Blakk Rasta: Create ‘Ministry of Unfinished Businesses’ to ensure continuity of dev’t projects

Radio broadcaster Blakk Rasta has proposed the creation of a ministry responsible for completing uncompleted development projects of previous governments to ensure continuity. According to him, this will also reduce the spate of stalled projects in the country. Speaking on the Class Morning Show (CMS) on Clsss91.3FM on Monday, 29 March 2021, the award-winning Reggae musician mused: “Can we have a certain structure that will deal with those unfinished businesses?” He continued: “At least, you have so many ministers. Why can’t you have a minister for unfinished business? When you have a budget, you have miscellaneous. Why can’t we have something like that? A minister for unfinished businesses”. “Your duty is to look at the good things that the last government has done so that you will be able to deal with them,” he added. Commending former President John Mahama for undertaking some projects during his tenure of office, he bemoaned the current state of some of his uncompleted projects due to the lack of continuity. “In fact, [former] President Mahama has actually exposed a lot of these ill-thinking ‘politrick-cians’ in this country. He himself was not an angel but the point I’m making here is very simple: Look at the number of buildings, look at the so many lofty projects that he started. At the end of the day, look at what happened. “They are not being continued. Well one or two. But the rest are rotting up. Cockroaches, snakes and rodents are now benefitting from what human beings should have been benefitting from. Blakk Rasta also called for a review of the powers vested in the President. “I think our presidents are too powerful. They can make and unmake anybody and anything and at the same time, I think that if we are able to bring a certain structure that will limit the power of the president, I think these things can be done”, he indicated. “So, yes, our governments, our presidents are too powerful. That structure should change so that we will be able to have other people come in and deal with some very key issues”, he further reiterated.

‘Tired’ 77-year-old Akufo-Addo ‘retiring’ people 18 years younger – Blakk Rasta

Seventy-seven-year-old President Nana Akufo-Addo must be told that he is tired and must retire, Blakk Rasta has said. “Who has more tired limbs than the sleeping President Nana Akufo-Addo? He is a president who sleeps unprovoked”, the radio personality told Kofi Oppong Asamoah on the Class Morning Show on Monday, 29 March 2021. “They are ashamed to tell him in the face that: “Mr President, you’re tired”. “[At] seventy-seven years, you are retiring some people who are 17, 18 years your juniors”, he observed, adding: “I mean, you look at Ghana and you ask yourself: ‘Are we going forward or retrogressing?’” The President recently asked Auditor-General Daniel Yaw Domelevo to go on retirement since, according to him, the A-G attained the compulsory retirement age of 60 in June last year, per his own documents at the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT). A few weeks later, he also directed the Director-General of the National Lottery Authority (NLA), Mr Kofi Osei Ameyaw, to go on his compulsory retirement. The President’s correspondence to Mr Osei Ameyaw, signed by Executive Secretary Nana Asante Bediatuo, read, in part: “Upon reaching the compulsory retirement age of sixty years on 20 February 2020, the President of the Republic, by a letter under my hand dated September 3, 2020, granted you a one-year contract of service as Director-General of the National Lottery Authority”. “The one-year contract lapsed on 20 February 2021, and, therefore, you are retired on that date”. “Accordingly, you are directed to hand over to Mr Ernest Mortey, the Finance Director of the Authority, who shall act as the Director-General of the Authority pending the appointment of a substantive Director-General. You are further directed to proceed to collect any terminal benefits or facilities due you under the relevant law.” classfm Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.
