Comment: This man abandoned his hometown

SHAME ON US


Aburi is only a few minutes drive from Accra, so why did this man fail to go and see his people for 35 years ? This is what some Ghanaians foolishly do all the time. Your hometown is your home, so why abandon it ? Now, he is suffering for it. They come to Accra just to be there and forget about the towns and villages they hail from, even if they have a rough time making it in Accra. Very stupid.

This man abandoned his hometown @ James St Clare, Masa you can't jump to conclusion like that. Did you know the reason he could not go to his home town for about 35years? Don't be typing foolish English here okay

@Vulgah. Give a possible reason........ ..... For this man not to take that short ride from Accra to Aburi ? Give out that reason and stop dishing out pure rubbish. Heck, I can even jog to Aburi from Accra.
