Let us help Mahama turn Ghana upside down. The fact is that Northerners assume that the NPP is an Akan Political Party and Akans in general fear violence. For this reason, John Mahama is deliberately using violence to cow the NPP into submission so that he could have his way to launch his third term bid. This is why the NPP must be strategic and mobilise their internal security structures very well and meet them boot for boot. Northerners in general are timid. If you resist them, they easily flee. Well, if Mahama wants to destabilise the country, we should help him do so.

Bro, the Batu of the African especially Ghanaian is not working..believe it or not, the simple message that the Canadian citizens are sending to the masses is that, they don’t need foreigners in their country..for sometimes now, the Canadian citizens have been sending messages to the govt through this rampant killings here and there..I tell u that, these indecent killings will never stop unfortunately until the govt stops foreigners from coming to Canada..All these killings is juts because the Canadian citizens are not happy with the influx of foreigners being it students or immmigrants seeking better lives..they are sending a message, so I tell u, these killings of foreigners especially Ghanaians sadly will never end anytime soon..that’s the sad reality..my confidence to the family but believe it or not, Canada currently is not a place that any sensible Ghanaian with a working brain should travel to seek a better life..if u are currently a Ghanaian living in Canada, mark it here, your life is in danger..this is because the average Canadian citizens(whites supremacist) believes there is too many foreigners in their country, so as Ghanaians who cannot use their brains, am decoding this simple message for u..all these is happening because of the bitterness of the Canadian citizens..

You fool. Who built Canada? The sons n daughters of slaves,immigrants. According to immigration Canada, Blacks from Africa, the Caribbean are the least imported people into the country. Americans and Europeans top the list. Followed by Asians n South Americans. Why bring them to Canada, not favor them in jobs and frustrate them? If you dont want foreigners. Stop bringing them in. You do t bring in immigrants n frustrate them. Also, not every Blackperson is an immigrant you fool. What do you know ow about black Canadian history?

The very day Africans will wake up, it’s the very day Africans will be liberated..the very day Ghanaians will have common sense is the very day Ghana will be liberated..last year alone, more than 10 Ghanaian students were killed in Canada by similar shootings..this uear alone, more than 7 Ghanaians have been killed in Canada by hm gun violence and it’s not even up to the end of the year..the message is clear, this is not fun violence, the Canadian citizens are just sending a message to stupid Africans that they do t need them..they always cover it with Gang violence..that’s not true..the gangs in these western countries always know their targets..this has nothing to do with gang violence..this is a way of the racist white supremacist in Canada expressing their displeasure about the influx of too many foreigners..these criminal Canadians are sending a message to their govt..it’s sad African brain is too shiny and cannot use it..

Some of the criminals are whites too..Canada as it’s stands now, it’s not a place for Ghanaians to reside..am telling u, the Canadian citizens believe foreigners are taking over their country so they have become hostile to foreigners..they pretend to use gangs, but trust me, a gang member will never kill one one who has not offended him..this is not a mistake, this is a deliberate attempt to put fear in immigrants living in Canada..my little advice, if u are a Ghanaian, Canada as a country is not a safe place for u because this is getting out of hands..this murder was never an accident..it’s very deliberate..anyway my people lack knowledge, so they continue to perish that’s what the Bible say..they just using gangs violence to cover up the real criminals and their intentions..Canada currently is a shithole

Canada is a shithole country now..10 years ago, Canada was among the most peaceful and safest country in the world..fast forward to 2020-2025 Canada is gradually becoming one of the most dangerous country in the world..so it means Canada as a country is failing..if u move from one of the peaceful and safest country to one of the worse and dangerous countries in the world, then the maths is Canada is a shithole..but dumb Ghanaians will still stay in Canada for them to be killed like chicken..I have never seen any of these so-called gang members get arrested after they kill innocent Ghanaians or immigrants..that should tell u it’s not about gang violence, it’s deliberate..very sad for our bro’s and sisters in Canada as they see the country turn into a real shithole..I guess trump should add Canada to list of countries that are shithole..it’s not only African countries..because I doubt this will even happen in Afghanistan or Pakistan that an innocent individual could be shot in a broad day light and police cannot arrest the criminals..come on Canada how could u disgrace yourself as a developed society..

This is a complex piece to write. Canada, for the most part, is a peaceful, welcoming country. Understand that we have crime, and most recently, an increase in gang-related issues. Canada has stringent gun laws; as such, approximately 90% of all handguns used in crime can be traced back to the US.
This is not an excuse for the innocent lives lost every year in Canada, and yes, here in Hamilton, caused by gun violence. NO serial killer is targeting foreign students. Hamilton is a multi-cultural city with no way of telling who is and isn't a foreign student. That being said, this is the second foreign student this year to be shot and killed at a bus stop- according to all accounts, both were just 'innocent bystanders'. Questions need to be asked to elected officials on what they are doing to stop the importation of guns, to the police on what they are doing to stop the use of guns in our community, and what exactly they are doing to protect the public, and bring to justice those responsible.
This may seem like just words, and I'm sorry, but I swear on my children's lives I will be asking those questions and demanding those answers. This doesn't help Belinda's family or the family of Harsimat Randhawa, the other foreign student killed a few months ago. All I can offer is my prayers to the families.

Capitalist countries take joy in gun violence and other violences.
They cannot fight it because it's just one of the entertainment for their people.
I could remember that some few years ago some people in one of the regions of China took the world into their own hand, begin to murder and maim people.
It will interest you that when those people were finally arrested the west said the Chinese government was infringing on the rights of those assassin and maimers.
The Chinese government took the matter to court and the people involved were given the punishment they deserved.
Those whose crimes were less severe were sent to rehabilitation and that was also another human rights abuse by the west.
After the rehabilitation the people now live normal lives, like other human beings and not beasts.
