Hashtags have surely been big deals this week but to crown it all, at least so far, has been the new one generated after the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bwumia, tweeted #HeIsFixingIt in response to the more popular #FixTheCountry campaign.
Since then, the various variants of the #FixTheCountry hashtag have been competing with it, with a few others aligned to the ideology that what really needs fixing is the attitudes of Ghanaians, birthing the hashtag #FixYourself, among others.
In his attempt to also prove his merit, or, to turn the attention of the populace to what his government is doing that he believes makes it a working leadership, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, made this post on his Twitter page:
The black star is calling. #Akwaaba. I am Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, and I am the humble but proud President of the country at the centre of the world - #Ghana! pic.twitter.com/hmWgWWxIwV

Following the tweet, users on Twitter descended hard, clapping-back on the president's attempt to douse their anger.
In their replies, several users presented their alternative evidences of the mess that they believe have culminated in their furor at the government, and for which reason they are calling on it to #FixTheCountry.
Here are a few of them:

This is indeed an unnecessary tweet when citizens are wallowing in pain n calling on you to fix the system. What does your tweet brings on board to solve teething problems of Ghanaians. We are waiting on you as a leader to say something positive. Or u ar making mockery of us.

We are one people -- but few dey chop the money
Gold is beneath the soil --but hunger be our friend
We are at the center of the world - - but far from the world in development.
Akwaaba - to the land that is Rich in POVERTY #FixGhanaNow

So the question is why do we still import food? Why ain't we taking full advantage?
It's good we are projecting Ghana but let's look deeply within our potentials.

I have seen it kill two people crossing the road at night with my own eyes.
One was a young guy learning metal works beside the melcom. I took the pics that night.#NameAndShame pic.twitter.com/mkylEjCZsi
