Tapa Abotoase and Tapa Amanfrom are nice places. Tapa Amanfrom was built like Tema by Kwame Nkrumah to resettle those who were removed from their villages due to the construction of the Akosombo dam and the subsequent big lake created behind the dam. Each family was given a house. The government of Ghana provided them with food. Nkrumah gave them free Ferguson tractors for farming. Many people don't know that Nkrumah built many beautiful townships in the then Volta Region. Our school days were excellent expecially if we received our beautiful food from the government. I always remember Tapa Abotoase and Tapa Amanfrom.

Yes oo. If you're paid 500ghs a month, why should you give your spouse 1,200ghs for house-keeping because want to live good by relying on friends to borrow to support your home. Is it not madness? That is the situation we find ourselves. Appetite for borrowing to steal without repaying waiting for future generations to pay. Open insanity and madness.
