Excellent piece. The problem is that Ghanaians are intrinsically evil and our actions tell who we are. I have watched our actions for 66 years and that is the conclusion I have drawn. Praying and going to church does not mean anything to us. Didn't the captain plead for his life and why didn't someone listen? We are simply animals in human appearance. We will see what becomes the outcome of such an indescribable event. I feel so much ashamed because never has such a thing occurred in Ghana after the atrocities of JJ Rawlings.

In 1979 Rawlings staged a coup and justified the killing of senior military office. That was mob because I remember people chanting "let the blood flow" after the first executions. No one cared to ask if those executed were given a fair trial before they were convicted and executed. Well, the blood flowed and market traders were beaten and their items looted. This planted the seed of mob justice. The second coming of Rawlings in the 80's worsened the situation as several people fell victim to his faux revolution. So what happened to the soldier should not come as a surprise. If people who committed the atrocities in Rawlings' era have be prosecuted, it would have curtailed the incessant mob justice in the country. Rawlings and his posse were given immunity so is the crying about? May the souls of those who have lost their lives by mob justice rest in piece.

I guess you have to understand the word "culture" to get the import of what the Pastor was saying. In simplistic terms he was trying to say that we've taken these lynches so much for granted that it has become our culture (part of us). He goes on to question why we've to accept such barbaric tendencies. In effect man seems to be the only species that takes delight in killing its kind for pleasure or gain and Ghanaians seem to have reached the point where mob justice is the order - a lawless people. Justice seems to have been erased from our motto "Freedom and Justice". Now the "Freedom" is being sacrificed on the altar of fear.

We should all blame law breakers and those who are charged to enforce laws in Ghana. When justice is not taken seriously by those in charge, people seek justice wrongly. This should be a lesson to every policeman, judge or politician as well as all citezens. If we do not make laws work, we will continue to risk this kind of mob behaviour. And it means everyone of us is in danger of being lynched mistakenly.

Nothing short of this will pacify the land , heal this broken nation and sent a clear message to this wicked generation of thugs. After all arrest have been made by the military, the field engineers regiment should move in with Bull Dozers and wipe out that town called Denkyira Oboasi. All resident must leave and settle elsewhere at no cost to government. The military should then build a military base there permanently and call it FORT MAHAMA. Give the gallant soldier a state burial and burry him at Oboasi in the heart of the new military base. All accused persons when found guilty should be made to face the death penalty. The executions must take place at Denkyira Oboasi.I seriously recommend the military police be very instrumental in every aspect of this investigation.

They pretend to be "Ghanaians", but they dont't live like united Ghana ... they live in villages and tribes. They don't follow general rules or to countries law ... they follow the advice of shamans and chiefs.
Many people in Ghana rely on their pride - but what makes them proud? Murder, manslaughter, rape, deceit and lies?

Don't know if people have really investigated how it take a soul to incarnate into 8,400,000 species in order to earn a human birth for the first time . If they knew what truth is no one will abuse that privilege.
One can devolve into the animal state if they have animal tendencies like killing and need hundreds of lifetimes to work their way and evolve back to the human state .
You murder a person without even any evidence of any crime committed. Life imprisonment is what those barbarians deserve.

Yes it is sad but our problem is bigger than what happened. Ghanaians hate themselves so much, this one of the evidence of that hatred. They cover it with all sorts of names.

If you listen to how people politicise the truth, may God have mercy on us. However most of us claim to be Christians, let us all search ourselves and pray that the God we serve will deliver us from this evil nature.

I think Ghana is continuously having indecisive leaders. Just look at the crowd happily yielding as if they were going for a fun fair, instead they were chasing a human being to kill. Shameful Ghana! Same thing happened in Kumasi, at Old tafo, to be precise, where some youth from Asawase, Abuabo and Tafo Zongo pounds on the Akan area with dangerous weapons simply of the fact that in an attempt and as part of theirs scheming on that day,to rob a bank in the area, a police-woman guarding the bank, opened fire on one of the perpetrators leading to his death. This brought mayhem on the people including property loss. The president at the time, didn't open his mouth to sympathize with the people who have loss family members and properties of millions. Invoices were just collected from the victims for possible part payment of their loss. And that is all!!! Nothing up to date.The question is? do we have leaders at all! Or leaders who think they have been voted for, and that matter, even if the people commit something bad, they can't say! All this vicious acts is as a result of indecisive leaders we been having of late. Lack of direction for mother Ghana.May the Lord forgive and save us!

This is not the first time a human being has been killed like an animal.
What about the many innocent females who have been found dead in the bushes with their organs removed?
What about the many cases of lynching of suspected armed rubbers.
What about the thousands of human sacrifices that have been carried out by our primitive kings over the years? What about brain washing and keeping thousands of people in prayer camps(death camps), many have conditions that can easily be treated in hospitals but they are held in these camps till they die.
What about old men and women stealing the children's money and hiding it in Banks abroad(Dubai, US, Canada, UK etc) They invest in real estate in pseudo names.
What about arrogance, intimidation, immorality, lies, superstition etc. This is indeed the devil's country.

Culture is they way a group of people live and for decades these things are happening. I remember two great police men; Kweku Ninja and Jerry were murdered and their body buried by their murderers in Ablekumah. This happened in the late 90's in Accra Ablekumah. When Kweku Ninja body was exhumed,it was realized that his hands had been tied at the back. Meaning either he was buried alive or cruel beating and letting him to die slowly and painfully. It became a national issue and now we are seeing this every day. It is truly a demonic and cruel culture by some Ghanians who must stop it once and for all. Otabil is telling the truth. Ghanaians are barbaric. Many Ghanaians have used their children, mother , father or sibling for money rituals. We are self centered people and wicked. Most of the slave castles in West Africa are in Ghana. We sold our own to the whites as slaves. God have mercy on us and heal our land

Yes it is sad but our problem is bigger than what happened. Ghanaians hate themselves so much, this one of the evidence of that hatred. They cover it with all sorts of names. I am sure they knew who the captain was and plann ...

I think Ghana is continuously having indecisive leaders. Just look at the crowd happily yielding as if they were going for a fun fair, instead they were chasing a human being to kill. Shameful Ghana! Same thing happened in Ku ...

The eulogies and sympathies coming from all and sundry is the cooperate cry of all that we end our collective hypocrisy of touting our nation as a haven of peace. Let's accept that we are a nation of pretenders who don't walk ...

Well said,

In short, we're not a civilized people - period! As for our leaders the least said about them the better! All they know is to engage in primitive acquisition of material wealth. Lord have mercy!

You perfectly right. Honest people like you are scarce in our society. We always pretend to share crocodile tears. They are all hypocrites, syncophants and parasites. Keep the lights burning.

This is so true. Thank you. I don't know what to say. I got goose pimples after reading your column.
You wrote my mind. Ghana's illness is her death. Still, I can't hold my tears. I have never felt for a someone I don't know like I have felt for Capt. Mahama. He will forever remain a hero in my heart. Go well, Captain!
Mr Author, can't find your contact. I wish get in touch beyond this site. Thanks.
Thank you soo much for your outermost contribution. It touches soul. God heal our dead conscience. What you hit you become, what you forgive you are release for. God heal our Land.
