We as a country I feel sorry for us. Ghana has never experience these kind of national tragedies since independence until Prof Atta Mills decided that the Traditionalist won't be allowed to pray at national gatherings. He paid the price with his own life. Ever since , one tragedy upon another. Quite recently JM proposed national day of prayer, Christians and Moslems gatherings were held across the nation. Ever since look at the tragedies, 8 national heroes yesterday, 15 kids all perishing not forgotten about Lumba. How can you forget about your own Gods and ancestors and decide to worship foreign Gods. Do we know the origin of our country? Those who lived here first? Until we realised our ancestors are angry the way we have been treating our traditional religion and embracing foreign religions, we will not know any peace. The worse is yet to hit us. A word to the wise. We should cast our mind back from Mills time to now when he stupidly decided to cut out traditional religion off all national gatherings.

Sad but life must continue for those alive. The greatest lesson in all these is that we should all learn to humble ourselves and stop arrogance and disrespect for elders and opponents.

Yea I thought either the Chief of Staff or Muntaka as Interior Minister should hold the Fort now, but hey the president has the discretion so let respect his decision. For Armah Buah acting for Murtala's portfolio is apt.

Who is mourning. Cry your own cry. Someone is thinking about how they will pay their rent, fees, pay hospital bills, or even have sex.

Let the dead Bury their dead. You die, you are on your own.

The government should seek external support to clear NPP elements from the security set up. Put them under constant surveillance and neutralize them. When the government cleared some top military officers and replaced them with equally qualified ones, I had a feeling that something was going to happened if those who were retired weren't monitored closely. Thorough investigations must go into incident

If Mahama refuse to purge the system off from these evil enemies, then more price will be paid. From military to public service all needed massive smoking out of the evil nppigs. Those foolish so called kings and pastors who are very corrupt and evil prevailing upon Mahama not to fight the evil corrupt people, Mahama must sideline those fools if he wants to succeed otherwise Ghana will go backwards with the speed that this country has never seen before. The law must be the law, and all must be equal before the law. If Mahama will not pardon all thieves who are serving sentences, why must he pardon political criminals??? This question goes to so called king who chose to protect criminals, and will be triggering serious bloodbath revolution in the near future

This announcement should sober all of us to understand that positions are not possessions. Dr Omane Boamah and the seven other heroes died yesterday, and less than 24 hours later, somebody has been named to act in their stead. It tells us that positions are nothing and that you will leave them behind one day. This goes to all those who are in positions today or will be in positions tomorrow, always to remember that these positions are ephemeral. The syndrome of do you know me, and I will show you that I am this and that, amounts to nothing in the final analysis. Let us all remember this and live simple, loving lives without arrogance and pomposity. Dr Omane and all the fallen heroes, may your tragic death be an eye-opener to all of us to be humble and understand that no matter what, we shall leave the world behind.
