    Nana, not every Ashanti eats fufu. Dr. Boamah was one of the smartest people in Ghana.

    Hello youth of Ghana. You can take your own life with medicine...for instance 10 paracetamol at once......or combine medicine and akpeteshie or weedicide.

    @Nana your comment makes no sense, as if the requirements for being a defense minister is to fly in an helicopter. I hate to say that just because you have access to the internet doesn't make you smart and knowledgeable. St ...

    The Dagombas and Ayigbes have killed the young promising Kwahu man with Juju and are now telling us Kwaku Ananse stories. Omane Boamah did not listen to advice not to walk with these Evil people.

    Air travel is the safest of all. Over 1500 people have died on our roads for just the first half of this year. As compared to 8 people in the air space.

  • A very unnecessary statement 4 months ago

    Muntaka, was this statement necessary? Do you think it's a source of comfort to his family and real friends? Reckless careless loose tongue. And you are a minister? Oh, woe! It's true what they say: " if you lie down w ...

    He hated flying in a helicopter but it was first time he flew in one? A Ghanaian politician not making sense as usual.

  • Johnny 4 months ago

    May be in the next vetting of our Ministers in Parliament we shd ask them the means of transport they fear and the food they fear to eat.Ghana Army could have transported their Minister with a Yacht to Adansi.

  • You are the one not making sense 4 months ago

    What he said is clear.. Either he has sat in one before they came to government but in this govt he said this was his first. Also if he hasn't sat in one before that's the point made that he hated it and means hasn't flown in ...

    It is finished. Investigations have started. But those who were originally scheduled to be on the helicopter are talking too much. So, we shall ask some questions:
    1. Who could best represent the President at a national func ...

    Our problems are beyond roads.
    We have bad drivers, bad cars, bad enforcement, the Police are banza, and finally bad roads.
    We have a serious national security concerns here, but no one is taking about it.

    What about if you politicians had spent all your stolen monies on building first class roads and railways for the country? Do you think that any of them would have agreed to fly on those cheap helicopters? Think again and do ...

    Ordinarily most of us saw what happened as an accident, but the comments of those closer to the victims raise questions. Mind you too many Akans have died working with John Dramani Mahama in the past few yrs.

    Omane Boama and Murtala should have been alive if not Mahama's indecisiveness. No sane human will force people to relaunch a program that already in place due to politics. The death of the eight Ghanaians rest on the head of ...
