I have driven across the rail road tracks at Circle, and by the one in Dworwulu, and my heart freezes to know that trains actually use those tracks randomly. Seriously, I have prayed for major disasters all along those tracks, because it is the only good lesson for ignorant black people. AMA does its best to control these animals, but how can you fight a bunch of zombies, when they have family members dressed in business suits and some even own mansions and cars.

that's right , incompetence and ndc corruption that has led to the poverty of our people is the root cause of us not having a modern railway system with the adequate security barriers . i wouldn't be surprised if some poor Akan was blamed for this too as the ndc propaganda and bni always finds a way to incriminate the innocent

Are you joking? A Ghanaian who is responsible enough to have life insurance will not behave the way this guy did. If he was married and had children, that is a problem for the family now

Ghanaians are fools... the illiterates are the majority and those you had the opportunity to bring light to them are amassing wealth to themselves. What is the essences of going to school to attain degrees,Masters and PHD. White man left this railway industry to us, we couldn't expand it let alone manage it well. Now it's killing us like animals. I thank God I have been able to move all my family to Australia a year ago... because Ghana is dead!

A couple of weeks ago, some soldiers traveling in a convoy did not stop at a crossing and about 16 died on the stop when a train ran over the truck. Do White people not even bomb people in trains and buses? Ask the IRA.

I hope you are not implying that train accidents do not occur in London. Here in the US (New York city to be precise) human beings push other human beings onto the railway tracks only to be crushed by oncoming trains. It is unfortunate the way some of you in the diaspora (who should know better) make demigods of the white.

You are right, the only thing they can do is to sabotage and spoil. Ghana is doomed.

The profit before safety culture in Ghana must end. It was 17 miners a few days ago, now a train rider and I am wondering where next? Let us value the life we have although times are hard.

This is very sad.

It is good the train is running from Accra to Nsawam. However, we need to enhance safety to prevent such fatal incidents.

Our condolences go to the bereaved family.

What you know about India? In India in one or two states out of 28, the trains bound to other metro cities, people will do that, and not in the other 90 %. Dont be fooled by BBC and western media and in making unwarranted comments. India has a vast net work and trains are the major commuting means, and still they are managing somewhat okay system given a developing world. In this case, ghana has only very limited railroad network, and it is high time more security measures are kept in place.

In a train compartment, there are 3 men and a young woman. The four passengers join in conversation, which very soon turns to the erotic. Then, the young woman proposes, "If each of you will give me $1.00, I will show you my legs." The men, charmed by this young college girl, all pull a buck out of their wallet. And then the girl pulls up her dress a bit to show her legs. Then she says, "If each of you gentlemen will give me $10.00, I'll show you my thighs,". And men being what they are, they all pull out a ten dollar bill. The girl pulls up her dress all the way to her legs in full. Conversation continues, and the men, a bit excited, have all taken off their coats. Then the young girl says, "If you will give me $100, I will show you where I was operated on for appendicitis." All three fork over the money. The girl then turned to the window and points outside at a building they're passing. "See there in the distance. That's the hospital where I had it done!"
