    Not a pleasant experience.It's very painful and sometimes can disorganise your mood when this happens to you eating Banku & Tilapia.But this hardly happens to Ga & Ada Drunkards like Sam George & Bukom Banku

    My people... I've been telling you for over a year now, that the NDC's annihilation of the NPP in 2024 has turned most of their followers into PREMATURE LUNATICS in our country. An example is @Atta Kay & @Kwaku Tee. Ever sinc ...

    Are you sure NDC will survive President John Mahama's looting of the state?

    The banku was spiked with roach poison or arsenic in white rice hence your ordeal.

    Please leave the Banku meal alone, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the cancer.

    What connection has the painful and sad narration got to do with your not funny comment? In moment like this, it's charitable to be quiet if you have no kind word to say.

    Operations dont go well in Ghana. They could have just let her open her mouth and they use something to to just pick the bone out, with the help of a endoscopy device. A very simple procedure that turned badly. Even in the vi ...

    Unless you have a dedicated doctor, it's ill-advised sometimes to go to the hospital in Ghana. Very unsafe prescriptions are killing Ghanaians.

    Sorry for your ordeal. But I don't think it came from eating banku and tilapia. Nobody knows causes of cancers. With the tilapia bones, the procedures you took was a known way of handling such a situation. Once again, sorry f ...

    My point. It has nothing to do with banku and tilapia looking at her narration

  • OZYMANDIAS 1 week ago

    I wonder why most people praise this Banku and Tilapia meal. To me, it’s not a meal to waste so much time on. Any meal that is so unmatched should be properly chewed before being swallowed. Does Banku not go with Okro and b ...

    Atta Kay, l think your mental faculty needs a serious check up. It's just a piece of advice. I don't want you to spend the rest of your life at Ankaful.

    Sorry madam, but these days SOME of our doctors can't be trusted. They are so useless that, even a ward attendant in scrubs might do a better job.

    Knowing that some Ghanaian women graduated from Fried Rice to Banku and Tilapia, could it be that this woman was ordering only Banku and Tilapia during her dates with men, that might have caused bones to choke her throat lead ...

    We both small and big tilapia eaters always have boned of tilapia stuck in our troat, but they don't generate cancer.
    So the cancer maybe in the family, its inherited.

    Banku and tilapia did nothing wrong.
    It was your village people. Go and ask them.

  • Glamorlife.. 1 week ago

    I don't like tilapia because there are too many bones it the fish. If you're not careful, a bone can get caught in your throat.

  • Glamorlife.. 1 week ago

    The banku and tilapia didn't cause the cancer. Possibly, you ended up with a wound in your throat which the wound became cancerous. But eating banku and tilapia alone doesn't give you cancer. Is wound that turn into cancero ...
