Executive Director. BSK Health Advocacy Foundation, Bismarck Kwabla Kpobi has cautioned against the escalation of mental health if the Economic Community of West African State standby force should invade Niger.

In a stated the Executive Director stated that Ghana as a country is yet to find a permanent funding for its Mental Health activities.

“Ghana as a country is yet to find a permanent funding for its Mental Health activities.

“It has been over several months since the last insufficient Antipsychotics ( drugs for treating mental illnesses) were provided to the various Mental Health Units and Hospitals; as for logistics, nothing good to write home about yet our ECOWAS leaders are deliberately planning to add more cases to the already under resourced and less catered  for health sector by endangering our young Soldiers who will be sent to be maimed, slaughtered, killed and and in some cases disabled with contemporary  mass destruction ammunitions  ( nuclear weapons)?” he asked.

Below is the full statement

Escalation Of Mental Health Implications If ECOWAS Stand By Forces Invade Niger For War

Part 1

Ghana as a country is yet to find a permanent funding for its Mental Health activities. It has been over several months since the last insufficient Antipsychotics ( drugs for treating mental illnesses) were provided to the various Mental Health Units and Hospitals; as for logistics, nothing good to write home about yet our ECOWAS leaders are deliberately planning to add more cases to the already under resourced and less catered  for health sector by endangering our young Soldiers who will be sent to be maimed, slaughtered, killed and and in some cases disabled with contemporary  mass destruction ammunitions  ( nuclear weapons)?

It is an unwise decision to take bloody military actions against a military coup that recorded no death with over 90% support from the citizens in Niger Republic.

When I saw the Nigerian Chief of Defence Staff ranting at their two days Heads of Military Chiefs meeting at Burma Camp in Ghana that they are ready and will ensure Niger is brought back to constitutional regime, I laughed uncontrollably. You know why?? It is because those ECOWAS leaders are not going to be at the forefront of the war when it breaks borders, rather, their greed and selfish interest is how much their shares will be in the multimillion dollar budgets that invisible super powers will be giving them behind the scenes.

Those ECOWAS leaders will be home calculating their allowances of dollars so long as the military banters last in Niger; if any of them tells you that they want to take action against Niger for the good of ECOWAS, look deep into their nostrils and the truth will be revealed to you.

None of those so called ECOWAS leaders is a youth and their interest is not about the future of Africa continent but their selfish interest of amassing wealth for their families with European promises and privileges that the masses won’t be told about.

Why the pressure on ECOWAS leaders and the desperation to fight their immediate brothers whose only crime is that they saved their country from French suppression and lootings??

Is ECOWAS aware of the traumatic experiences that the families of these military personnel that will be sent to Niger to be truncated for their greedy and selfish gluttonous appetite for dollars from Europe??

Ghanaians must not allow their president Nana Addo to  send our brothers in the military to be vulnerable in the hands of missiles from Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, Russia and many allies who will join the war .

The budgets of $1million daily for this military actions must rather be channelled into better uses especially our Mental Health treatment in Africa.

Thank you
