Well-known Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari, has made a passionate call to action, urging citizens to stand up against illegal mining, also known as "galamsey," which she describes as a grave threat to the future of the country. In a post on X (formally Twitter), Nadia expressed her concerns over the devastating impact of galamsey on Ghana's lands, rivers, and natural resources, and how greed, ignorance, poverty, and the desperate desire to get rich quickly are driving the destruction."It's really sad that today's hunger for wealth is making us forget about tomorrow," she said, pointing out that this destructive pursuit is leaving a lasting negative effect on the environment, which could be disastrous for future generations.
The renowned thespian also reflected on the troubling role of some politicians, stating that they not only take from their nations but also flaunt their ill-gotten wealth, creating a damaging example for the public.
She noted that this has sparked a harmful mindset, leading many citizens to take matters into their own hands, even at the expense of the country's future.
