  Galamsey's Ticking Time Bomb: A Call to the Ghana Police Service on Arms Proliferation By: Adam Ibrahim To: The Inspector-General of Police and the Ghana Police Service High Command Accra, Ghana The Ghana Police Service (GPS), alongside the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), deserves commendation for its tenacious, continuous fight against the devastating environmental and economic crime known as 'galamsey' (illegal small-scale mining). Yet, while we focus heavily on the immediate pollution of our water bodies and destruction of our forests, an equally dire threat a ticking national security time bomb  is being overlooked: the vast, unchecked proliferation of illegal, high-calcalibre weapons among the galamsey networks. We must acknowledge that these operations are no longer rudimentary artisanal activities.

  The Filtered Reality: Understanding and Mastering Perceptual Selectivity By: Adam Ibrahim I. The Scene is Identical, The Reality is Not The human experience is built on a paradox: we all inhabit one objective world, yet each of us lives within a distinctly separate, personal reality. Our senses are perpetually besieged by torrents of information—the noise of the street, the ambient temperature, the thousand objects in our view.

  The Obituary Filter: Why We Only Love People When They Can’t Fact-Check Us 11/1/2025 By Adam Ibrahim The internet is currently drowning in performance. We rent black ties , upload grainy eulogies, and cry on cue for people we actively ghosted when they were still breathing. This is the ritual of what I call Fake Mourning . The scene is always the same: A death is announced, and suddenly, everyone on the timeline was their closest friend. The second the casket drops, the anecdotes explode, the parties, the punch-lines, the playlists they hated. The reality of a difficult, flawed human is instantly replaced by a sanitized saint. The True Nostalgia Pass Why does this happen? The reason is simple, cynical, and universally true: The dead can’t fact-check. They won’t call you out for skipping their chemo drives, won’t remind the group chat that you laughed at their bad karaoke, and definitely won’t contradict the narrative you’re now weaving about your "unbreakable bond." Death ...
