I think Ghana has started assisting such people in the modest way recently
Although not enough currently, it Could surely be better in the coming years..

Old people need our help so that they can live longer enough to impact us with time-tested knowledge and wisdom on good health and nutrition which your fake pastors and your immoral white demigods no longer have a clue about.
Quick to blame everything on some juju is the brainless Ghanaian way of refusing to use our brains to find solutions to present conditions facing us all including how best to reach out to such old but active grandpas - our true treasures.

If Dr Danaa, who holds a PhD, could contribute to the death of African Americans in Ghana then university education is useless in Ghana. If people of his caliber are leading Ghanaians then, I am afraid, we shall soon fall into a ditch.
Who asked Dr Danaa to take sides in a chieftaincy dispute by solely declaring the chieftaincy status of the Americans illegal. Who sent the National Security Officials to go and harass the Americans. We all know the National Security Zombis like operating under the cover of darkness( you remember the Legon Toll Booth Saga) and their hatred for dogs is unimaginable( you remember NS official threatened to shoot and kill the dogs of the software designer of UG students' election). So if the dogs of the two American citizens were killed prior to their gruesome murder you can now see those behind the killing.
Dr Danaa cannot throw dust into our eyes. If others have thrown dust into his eyes, that is his own cup of tea.

What a stupid photograph selected by a stupid journalist.

How on earth does showing a handgun held to the head in any way depict a shotgun injury to the abdomen.

Is there no editor in charge with responsibility to apply some degree of common sense control over the quality of articles on this website?

Stupid ignorant Akans. Unfortunately even the most highly educated will either believe this story or never attempt to question some commonsense lies.

Is there a valid birth certificate or word of mouth/estimated birth date by number of sunshine's they counted?

What if the extremely frail man slept on the gun and it went off accidentally?

Could he have been murdered by *young* 80 year old wife for refusing to die?

Are we Africans sun-intelligent or simply irrational thinkers?

We refuse to question authority and demand facts, we refuse to punish law breakers but rather encourage bad behavior of any kind.

Please dump this trash story from the PRIMITIVE SIDE !!!

Going by the ages we see on funeral announcements Ghana would probably be the country with the highest number of centenarians.

The old man could not have been 120years. How could a 120year old man operate a gun. He must be very week and had to be supported to drink even water.
