Who is General Mosquito?

General Mosquito, whose real name is Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, is a Ghanaian politician and long-time member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). He earned the nickname “General Mosquito” thanks to his sharp tongue, fearless attitude, and a legendary ability to cause chaos in debates.
While most politicians try to act serious, this guy went full viral with his wild hand gestures and his completely unbothered vibe. Over the years, he’s become a national meme icon in Ghana — and now, thanks to TikTok, an international one.
These days, he’s still active in politics but way more famous on the internet for his expressions than for his speeches. Classic case of “politician accidentally becomes meme legend.”

The rise of the General Mosquito meme

The General Mosquito meme started blowing up on TikTok and YouTube Shorts in late 2024. The clip shows him doing his signature throat slash gesture — a motion that looks deadly serious but is actually just his dramatic way of saying “I’m done with this nonsense.”
People on TikTok took that moment and ran with it. They paired it with Rick Ross – Stay Schemin and captions like:
“When I get rich and someone says ‘Don’t forget where you came from.’”
The result? A perfect rich mindset meme that screams “I’m not the same anymore, bro.”

Now the General Mosquito TikTok clip is everywhere — part flex, part comedy, and 100% meme gold. It’s one of those African meme rich guy gesture videos that hit exactly the right mix of confidence and absurdity.

Whether you call it the General Mosquito throat slash meme, money changes you meme, or don’t forget where you came from meme, one thing’s for sure:
General Mosquito didn’t just make history — he made meme history.
