    The entire market needs to be close down for the redevelopment of Ghana Railway Company. Warehouses shd be built in that space.The 2nd Hand Clothing biz shd be decentralised to other markets within the city.

    VERY SAD...BUT GHANA'S LOUD MOUTH PROPHETS COULD NOT SEE THE FIRE COMING JUST 2 DAYS ÀWAY. FROM THEIR DAY OF PROPHECIES ON 31ST DECEMBER...THEIR GOD WAS BUSY ON KILLINGS AND DEATHS OF GHANAIANS...TWEAA.

    They're dangerous when they don't have power. We still remember the loitering of dead female bodies on the streets of Accra.

  • Klaase Klose Marfhen 11 months ago

    Good suggestion. Almost every year the Kantomanto market gets burnt. This market needs to be decentralised to avoid mass destruction every year.

  • Zagarolo 11 months ago

    Too much talking nonsense by the sellers to the buyers.They must be relocated to Nsawam Adoagyiri forest on the Adeiso road

  • Logorligi 11 months ago

    So it is possible for you, kwaku Tee, to express reasonable views as you done above. Wonders never end.

    Anyway I entirely agree with you. In addition, as tragic as this piece of news is, it is simultaneously a silver lini ...

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 11 months ago

    Do you blame NPP for such a bad incident? Which people intentionally burnt the Makola market? Who was the leader of Ghana then?
    Big markets should be made to have their own Fire Departments with trained officers.

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 11 months ago

    Hmmm. Fires at our markets. I think big markets should have their own Fire Departments with trained officials who can handle fire issues quickly. This is very sad. And for all you know, such market people may not have Fire In ...

  • Pentecostal and Charismatic churches 11 months ago

    I've heard disturbing rumors that many market fires are intentionally started by the traders themselves. Allegedly, some traders take out loans from banks, and when they realize they can't repay them, they resort to arson. I ...

    So those vague prophecy prophets on Ghanaweb couldn’t help the fire service with information before the fire at Kantamanto happened ?

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 11 months ago

    They were drunk and had fallen asleep. These so called People of God are just crooks who prophesy to throw people into panic. I see them as Prophets of Doom and should not be taken seriously.

  • EBBY 11 months ago

    These are evil and demonic creatures masquerading as pastors. All their prophecies are a combination of hallucinations and psychological mind games. Only the weak, poor and feeble creatures within us believe them.
