A man named Arty, and is wife go into a grocery store in Accra Mall.
at the checkout, the woman says,"That will be 51.00 Cedis" Arty gives her 51.00 Cedis,And the woman says "Thank you"
As Arty and his wife are leaving the woman says "Wait, you only gave me 50 Cedis, I need 1 more.Arty knew he gave her 51 so he says,"no,I gave you 51." she says "no you didn't." So, Arty says "Yes,actually I did" This goes on for quite a while,and finally, Arty gets so mad he chokes the lady and throws her to the ground.The man behind him in line starts to whisper to his wife about Arty,So he chokes the man and throws him the the ground. Artys wife gives him a terrified look, And by now,Arty is so mad that he chokes her and throws her to the ground.
The next day the Police saw the video Camera and the newspaper headline is
ARTYCHOKES, 3 FOR 1 Cedi.

In Criminal Law, contributing to or aiding in the commission of a crime, is accessoy.
One who, without being present at the commission of an offense, becomes guilty of such offense, not as a chief actor, but as a participant, as by command, advice, instigation, or concealment; either before or after the fact or commission.

THE MEDIA HAS THE PREROGATIVE TO 'KILL' A STORY THAT CREATES PANIC, THUS, TERROR. IF YOU DON'T, YOU ARE IRRESPONSIBLE, TO SAY THE LEAST! BUT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EFFECT.

Fellow country men and women,Members of the Clergy, Muslim community, Nananom, Ladies and gentlemen, we are sounding it solemnly in the ears of all those who are because of their stomach, selfishness, political blindness, political naivety encouraging and supporting corrupt Mahama and his hopeless NDC so-called politicians to understand that, before they come out to their senses, they will see that our country which was raise by President Kuffour's NPP
Government will be turned grass land by this NDC puppet Government led by
deceitful, a liar and thievery Dramani Mahama who always deliver empty promises and pointing his finger and Bible to the sky for no better reason.

NDC does not want truth to be said,
because of their arrogant, shamefulness, corruption, thievery, economical chaotic and their diabolical attitude.

GHANA WILL SOON BE DECLARED NO GO ZONE
IN THE WEST AFRICAN COUNTRIES, if NDC
stupid supporters and their useless leaders refuse to stop politics everything and let all brain people
come to the aid of our country development and clear NDC mess they have created and continuing creating them.

I call on the NDC Party to dissolve itself as a Political Party if they love Ghana. For their 25year in government has been the bane of Ghana's underdevelopment. They have shown how incompetent, Corrupt and Bruits they are. Once again I call on them to dissolve the party and hand over power to the Justice Department who will appoint an interim government for six month for election to be held between the NPP and the CPP. Good Bless our Homeland Ghana.

I always wonder if I were the only sensible individual any time I passed by the skyscraper under construction at the Tetteh Quarshie Exchange. It does not take any professional mind to observe disaster under construction : the top six stories dangerously overlap the rest of the edifice with no support. There is an obvious design flaw which needs no archetectural knowledge to conclude.
Was this plan approved by the city engineers ? Did the contractor obtain permit from some irresponsible idiot who probably had his hands greased to kill potential occupants ? Would some responsible official stop this crazy construction before late ? Just like the rocks that fall off the cliffs along Peduase Roads unheeded to, our foolish politicians are patiently watching, awaiting the arrival of disaster to summon help from USA, Israel, Europe and other sensible nations. Idiots are in control.

Accra Mall is indeed a dead trap. I wonder who gave the permit to build this ugly Mall. It shouldn`t be build there at all, but because of greed and self interest, they built it there. It`s create congestions at the roundabout, no sufficient fire escape and with only two exit`s it will be a problem if anything happens. Ghanaians hate the truth. The Mall should be relocated to avoid disaster.

The two main entry cum exit doors are ok for everyday business for security reasons BUT THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST 4 EMERGENCY EXIT POINTS WITH CLEAR SIGN POSTS AS 'EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY'.

Has the NDC communication team member found out whether there are such exits or not. The writer should also have done his job well by finding out before posting as this might create unnecessary panic shop owners and the public. If there are no emergency exits then some have to be created as a matter of urgency.
