Wanlov the Kubolor, a Ghanaian musician and human rights activist, has gone viral following a viral photo of him going naked.
In a photo shared on X on April 10, 2026, Wanlov was captured naked protesting against illegal mining in Ghana.
Wanlov was captured naked, completely nude, accompanied by the hashtag “Stop Galamsey.”
Wanlov’s image has since sparked mixed reactions online, with netizens saying, “Imagine a girl did this”.
“What would’ve happened? Will they call her a slut? I’m sure. What matters is they should stop galamsey”, a netizen added.
One X user added, “The Ghanaian way of protesting never really gets anything done. We have to go the unorthodox way for them to see how serious we are”.
“At a point, you just have to applaud the commitment. But someone please get this nigga some clothes”, a netizen added.
“Does it mean that no one can hold this man and lock him in a shackle right under the Mango tree in their compound while they will be feeding him there?”, an X user added.
A netizen also added, “14 years ago, Wanlov The Kubolor showed his d*** live on TV during the Delay Show.
What do you think would happen if it were to be in these modern times?”.
In related news, Ntebe Ayo William, the Member of Parliament for Tatale-Sanguli, has boldly stated that illegal mining, widely known as galamsey, cannot be entirely eradicated in Ghana.
According to the Tatale-Sanguli MP, Ghana can only minimise the impact of galamsey through targeted interventions.
He noted that earlier forms of illegal mining involved basic tools, which caused less environmental damage, adding that the increased use of chanfans and earth-moving equipment like excavators has significantly worsened the scale of destruction.
Speaking on Citi Eyewitness News on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, he explained, “What is galamsey at all? Galamsey is illegal mining. So, if I go to my farm and there is gold there and I decide to mine my gold, that is illegal, that is galamsey. We will control that one. The government is on the point to stop mining in water bodies and in the forest”.
“… you cannot stop galamsey in Ghana. To be honest with you, you can only minimise it. How do you end it? We are fighting it, and we are fighting it in two ways: water and forest. Don’t destroy the forest, don’t pollute the water,” he said.
In related news, President John Dramani Mahama has admitted that illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey, involves individuals across political and traditional structures.
According to John Mahama, he will not kid himself that his own party people are not involved in the galamsey menace.
President Mahama highlighted that the fight against the galamsey menace will be difficult but must continue.
Mahama stressed that operators often shift allegiance when governments change, allowing the practice to continue.
Speaking during a meeting with Organised Labour at the Jubilee House in Accra on Tuesday, March 17, President Mahama stated, “Illegal mining has eaten into the fabric of our society. And I must say that it is not only a menace to our society, but it has involved a circle of traditional rulers, political party appointees and everything”.
“Even when one party changes, those who were running some operation, who went to one party, will go to the next party and say, now that you have come, come and take over this operation and let’s share. We, too, will be getting small; this is what we are doing. And so I don’t kid myself that we don’t have our own people involved,” he stated.
