imagine i needed acertification tobuild this.

the people we put in power are the same exact people that goes against us. the NITA Bill 2025 wants to force every developer, designer, and IT professional in Ghana to get a government license just to work. we say no.

"i shouldn't need a government license to push code to github."
"they want to regulate an industry they don't understand."
"self-taught developers built the internet. certification didn't."
"this bill will push the best talent out of ghana."
