Netizens decend on Sarkodie for ignoring #StopGalamseyNow Protest

A huge amount of dissatisfaction and criticism is being directed toward Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie for his silence over the recent #OccupyJulorbiHouse demonstrations.

These demonstrations are a part of a larger movement against illegal mining (galamsey) and economic mismanagement in Ghana.

Context of the Protests

42 people were taken into custody during a rally that took place on September 22, 2024. The protests, which have included confrontations with law enforcement and calls for action against the way the government deals with illicit mining, culminated in the arrest of these individuals.

There has been an increase in the level of outrage among residents and activists as a result of these arrests. They are demanding the release of those who are now being held and demanding responsibility from the administration.

Public Reaction to Sarkodie’s Silence

The fact that Sarkodie, who has previously expressed his viewpoints on political topics, most notably during the demonstrations against the EndSARS in Nigeria, has chosen to remain silent during this crucial period has been condemned.

There have been a lot of people who have resorted to social media to vent their dissatisfaction, and some of them have accused him of being involved in the failures that the present administration has been experiencing.

One user made a comment about his previous influence over voters and questioned his present quiet, implying that it is a terrible reflection on his dedication to social justice.

An unclear message was posted on social media by Sarkodie in reaction to the backlash.

The message stated, “We pray for wisdom and good health,” but it did not explicitly address the protests or the concerns that were raised by his supporters.

Critics who had anticipated that he would use his prominence to advocate for causes have only increased their level of disapproval as a result of his lack of participation.

Broader Implications

A growing number of fans and citizens are expressing an expectation that public figures will take a stance on important social issues, and this circumstance underlines that expectation.

The fact that Sarkodie has remained silent throughout the ongoing demonstrations and the growing number of calls for action may have an effect on his public image and his relationship with supporters who feel abandoned at this time of crisis.
