Such incorrigible and lawless people also wanna dream.
Look at Accra and the way it has been ravaged by all sorts of lawless miscreants, savages and two-legged animals. Madam, how the hell are you gonna stop these ignorant ugly villagers from building shops and homes 2 feet away from every rail crossing? How the hell do you expect primitive fools to ride thse trains like civilized people from the west we so wish to emulate? How the hell do you expect our savage citizens not to turn every car on the train into a food stand or chop bar.

Please we are not ready, not even in the next 200 years. I live in Accra and I have studied my people, we are worthless humans of extremely low intelligence. I can go on and on with stuff that just is shameful to want to be black and a Ghanaian...but I got stuff to do...bye

If you sound off a curfew and walk through Accra from one end to the other, you'd think wow, what sort of advanced Africans live here, but then unleash the tro-tros, taxis and scum from all the zongos and squatter colonies, and you would rather live in the desert or jungle (more sane and peaceful)

EWURABA DEPUTY MINISTER,

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE INVITED ALL KINDS OF ENGINEERING FIRMS AND CONTRACTORS TO UPLIFT THE BROKEN GHANA RAILWAY IN GHANA.

YESTERDAY, IT WAS A COMPANY FROM INDIA, CHINA AND SOUTH KOREA AND TODAY, IT IS A COMPANY FROM ITALY.

IT IS A PITY, TO READ, THE GOVERNMEMNT HAD TO FUND THE FEASIBILITY STUDIES.

ARE WE NOT BEING USED AS A PLAYING FOOTBALL FIELD.

HOW LONG SHALL WE ALLOW THIS TO GO IN THE COUNTRY.

ARE YOU THERE,THE NAZIONS WESTERN AND EASTERN RAILWAY LINES HAVE TO BE FIXED BY THE EDUCATED GHANAIAN CIVIL ENGINEERS WITH PRACTICAL AND PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND WELL DETERMINED TO BUILD THE BROKEN INFRASTRUCTURE IN GHANA.

SHOULD EVERYTHING IN THE COUNTRY BE FIXED BY FOREIGNERS.

WHERE ARE OUR NOISY EDUCATED CIVIL ENGINEERS.

HENCE OUR CONTINUED CHASE FOR AID AND BAILOUT FROM THE IMF AND WORLD BANK TO SERVICE EVERYTHING IN THE COUNTRY.

FOREIGNERS CAN ONLY COME IN WHEN, OUR LOCAL EDUCATED CIVIL ENGINEERS DO NOT HAVE THE TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE IN BUILDING BRIDGES.

ARE WE STILL EDUCATED TO SIT, WAIT, CRITICISE,LOOK TO HEAVEN, WATCH AND PRAY.

IT IS THE SAME THING THAT IS HAPPINING AT THE FISHERIES SECTOR,WHERE THE BUILDING OF FISHING HARBOURS THAT WERE ENVISAGED FOR THE PAST THIRTY YEARS HAS STILL NOT LED TO A REALITY.

HOW ON EARTH DO WE CONTINUE TO ALLOW PEOPLE COMING FROM OUTSIDE TO COME AND THINK FOR US.

ARE WE NOT SHAMEFUL AND DISGRACEFUL PEOPLE ON EARTH.

As much I like t he idea of renovating the western railway lines to serve the rural communities of Ghana, I do not believe one billion dollars will be enough to do the job. I am all for privatization and I do think it is about time the Gov't begins to rely on citizens or corporations to take some of the mantle and develop these lines and own them. Remember American Railway lines were once owned by Flagler and Co. and till today CSX and not the Gov't owns it.

It is sad we have taken hostage of our selves for far too long. For how long should the citizens of this Nation be lied with such Projects when ever it comes to elections. Inmagine the number of People dead on road Accidents for the past years. Had any of the past Goverments taken such projects seriously most of our beloved lost brothers,sisters,mothers, fathers and children would have been alive today. Please make this Railway Lines dreams comes true.Coacoa Manganes,Bouxite,Timber and Food crops could be transported accross. Meaning it wouldn`t be a waist of time and energy living our crops go rotten and this, will relive the son of man from his or her predicament after a days of hard working. Thank you and this time ACTION PLEASE:

Western Railway Lines to cost $1 billion
