Eeiiiii amanfuor...!!!!!!! Isn't it strange snd worrying, that it was no other person than our own quarrelsome Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, who we see, busy today worshipping our fake president, Nana Akuffo Addo, who blew the lid off our chimpanzee's fraudulent academic claims of being a fully qualified lawyer? We were in this poor country called Ghana, when she came out one fine morning to "shake the wild bees out of their colony", that "NANA AKUFFO ADDO IS NOT A QUALIFIED LAWYER...!!" And this was how the shameful and highly sensitive scam of that DESPICABLE DWARF FROM KYEBI was shockingly uncovered. To date, our TOOTHLESS CHIMPANZEE WHO HAS NO HUMAN TEETH IN HIS SMELLY MOUTH, has never had the courage to come and dispute what the vocal and cantankerous Konadu said. This is certainly, some very very shameful but avoidable saga to have bedeviled our beloved country for over two decades now! So, Nana Akuffo Addo Animguasehene… please, come and remove your mouth oooo, toohmm!

You will liken this to suicide bombers because this was ur only one, if ur government had built the skytrain that they promised and made Accra the cleanest city in Africa, if they were able to build the over three hundred secondary schools in the first eight months, if they gave each constituency a million dollars every yr, if they had built one factory each in every district and municipality etc Like u wouldnt blow this out of proportion and compare this driver to a suicide bomber who deliberately set off a bomb to kill himself with a dozen of others but like i said, this was the only thing ur people had to show to the people after 2020,so it's very painful,its all due to a useless government.

JOHN PETER AMEWU should be immediately arrested and prosecuted together with the truck driver for fabricating an image meant to DECEIVE & MISLEAD THE GOOD PEOPLE OF GHANA..!!!!!!!! This man fully knew the HEINOUS & ATROCIOUS BLUNDER he had committed by NOT DULY HAVING THE RAIL LINE INSPECTED before going for their test run, so he hurriedly and desperately used his JULORBI HOUSE CRIMINALS to manufacture that "photoshopped" image of a truck parked on the railway line to deceive the public. I swear... immediately I saw that wicked and diabolic photoshop he had posted on his social media status, I instantly blew the alarm by asking some very simple questions about: who, and when that picture was taken. I also asked to be informed what action that supposed photographer took when he or she captured that image. LO, AND BEHOLD...!!!!!!! Within some two hours after I had lifted the veil on that satanic and deceptive game Peter Amewu was seeking to play, HE IMMEDIATELY PULLED DOWN ALL THOSE PHOTOSHOPPED IMAGES...!!!!!! But guess what... at noontime, during the JOY FM MID-DAY NEWS @12:00, he was interviewed about those photoshopped images, and he admitted his wrongdoing. What he said was that, he doesn't handle his social media activities himself, so it was actually "HIS BOYS" who committed that blunder. Can you imagine that, folks..?????? This is how these NPP ACCOMPLISHED THIEVES play their games to deceive their junkified vigilante animals like @Togbe Agorkoli and Prince Kwasia Adade! But they can never dribble active and hard nuts like us. NEVER...!!!!!!!!

Kwasia Adade keeps getting stupider by the day, only equally foolish persons as himself, will waste their eyes to read his long senseless write ups.A party that is filled with imbeciles but always prides itself of having infinite number of scholars, you blatantly accuse another of perpetrating an offense based on your own intuitions without an iota of fact or evidence to back your claim.Because the Npp is very evil, so i guess atwitwa mene biara suro ayaya nna, isnt it? You people could have easily pulled this off without thinking twice so u think the NDC did same, stupid useless party, one of the greatest decisions i took i life was to leave those bunch of empty headed liars and burglars of a party.

Narrow minded people. To test something, you must do thorough checks before proceeding. At least the engineer must also be blamed for that. A drone should have been used to do this.

This charles owusu ranting fool must be an npp ardent at all cost. Political blindness is so toxic that it makes him refuse to be even handed in analysing the situation correctly by not even considering those who decided to conduct the test run in the first place! Very myopic or may be cataract! We have a dead railway system for more than 50 years which has rendered the tracks no man's land. Go to Nsawam station and you will notice a whole market right on the
tracks. This truck driver must be too ignorant of driving rules that the protocols of rail tracks are even nonexistent in his mind. I do not know the age of this truck driver but charles owusu must be so ignorant that he appears not to be aware of the indiscipline permeating the country his govt needs to address, from galamsey to living under hightension pylons.
Hence owusu must be blind and foolish and ignorant not to have asked why checks of the safety of the section of the track to be used for the test run was not assessed and monitored. Drones are all over the planes and these sakawa mafia regime uses them only in meaningless ways.
owusu must learn to address national issues in a all-encompassing and sensible manner and avoid that stomach direction foolishness.
