Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Actress Nadia Buari from Ghana is adding her voice to the demands for government intervention in illegal mining.
She used her X page to demand immediate action against illegal mining, also known as galamsey. On Friday, September 27, 2024, Buari shared serious worries about the harmful impact of galamsey on Ghana’s environment and future.
Buari lamented the short-sightedness driven by current hardships, stating, “It’s really, really sad that our today’s hunger is making us not to think about what will preserve us tomorrow.”
She also pointed out the change in responsibility from past colonial exploitation to present self-inflicted damage.
“In the past, we accused the white man for ripping off the black, now that it’s black destroying the future of blacks, whom do we blame?”
Nadia Buari called on all Ghanaians to unite against the greed driving illegal mining, stating, “Please our fathers, our mothers, our religious leaders, and all reasonable people who have this nation at heart, let’s rise up to stop this menace of greed before it stops our future. Let’s forsake this evil act for the sake of our children.”
Buari stressed the significance of public education in addressing galamsey, proposing that children learn about Ghana’s position as a top gold producer and the environmental risks of mining.
“Stopping this, I believe, begins with public education to raise awareness of this dangerous pursuit. Our children must not only be taught about Ghana being a leading producer of gold in the world, but also the danger in abusing our land for such treasure,” she said
