''I am so livid for Ama Governor. I want her to leave that failed state they've named Ghana & show Ghanaians what it looks like to be poured into your society. Let's call this what this is - the Ghanaian culture and state are misogynistic, queer-phobic, colonised & useless.''

@johancute3 said:

''This Ama Governor issue is sad. How will her parents feel sending their ward to law school, and now she can't be called to the bar? It's very heartbreaking.''
