HW3, AFARI DJAN MUST BE JAILED. WAT A DISGRACEFUL HUMAN BEING...ONYAME EHU WOOOOOOOOO!
YET, HE Is STILL LYING. YOUR WIFE HAS CAUGHT U RED HANDED FUCKING ANOTHER WOMAN. YET, U FOLLOW HER IN UR NATIVE SUIT.
TELLING HER, I WAS JUST FUCKING HERE, BUT ITS YOU I LOVE....EEEEIIIII
35 MILLION CEDI NTORO WEI DI3. I NO GO FIT OOOO. PEEP IN GOLD WATCH.
MAHAMA BRIBED AFARI DJAN WITH 35 MILLION CEDIS TO RIG THE ELECTIONS. GO AND ASK JJ RAWLINGS, HE WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
FOLKS, EACH PINK SHEET HAS A UNIQUE NUMBER. THIS NUMBER IS WHAT WE CALL THE SERIAL NUMBER. EACH SERIAL NUMBER IS ASSIGNED TO ONE PINK SHEET.
So if for example pooling station 'A' collects a pink sheet, that number on the pink sheet is solely for that pink sheet ALONE and no other pink sheet must have that same number.
THEREFORE, WHY THEN DO WE HAVE DUPLICATE SERIAL NUMBERS ON MULTIPLE PINK SHEETS? NA WHO CAUSE AM?
AFARI DWAN CAUSE AM, AND HE MUST BE TRIED FOR TREASON. THIS IS GARGANTUAN DAYLIGHT TREASON TO THE NATION STATE GH.
So, it does not matter what name you call it, serial NUMBER or no serial # every single pink sheet must have a distinct number that must be different from all the numbers on all other pink sheets.
As long as the petitioners found that there were duplicate numbers on the pink sheets, that is HIGHLY illegal.
IF YOU FIND THE SAME SERIAL NUMBER ON MULTIPLE CEDI NOTES. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU? COUNTERFEIT BILLS!
If you find any 2 currencies of a particular denomination with the same number on it, then one is counterfeit. That is what the EC did.
They printed two sets and released them into the system. ONE SET WAS FOR ALL, THE OTHER SET WERE ONLY MARKED FOR NDC.....MUAHAHAHAAAAA
GREAT CID JOB BY THE PETITIONERS. AFARI DJAN, U ARE A DISGRACE. YOUR ILK SHOULD BE EXILED FROM GH FOREVER. NATION WRECKER!
What EC did is a day time robbery!

What sort of AIR PLANES ply our air traffic/space in AFRICA?
THE STANDARD OF AIR CRAFTS WE ALLOW ACCESS IN OUR AIR TRAFFIC OPERATIONS,should highly be qualified before.
Every AIRLINE wants to have a share in the cake of GHANA AIRLINE OPERATIONS,but wondering if we qualify their access to our air space with strict measures?
Since BRIBERY & CORRUPTION have taken a big toll on our integrity,trustworthiness,patriotism,we stand the chance of going through many risky experiences,we might not know.
HOW OFTEN DOES ANTRAK AIRLINE checks its PLANES' EFFICACY?
Are they any pertinent laws in place to safeguard our passengers on airlines,against such ordeals?
Africa has been cheated,for so long in many things.And it's about time,we dug our heals in,to say:
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,WE ARE DRAWING THE FINE LINE,WE CANNOT TAKE THESE ANY LONGER.
One cannot change what he fails to confront.
I almost fell into an air clash on our way from SWITZERLAND TO ACCRA in 1993,just because the plane we boarded was very old.
Therefore,I know what these passengers were going through,when they saw fire in one of the engines.
THERE MUST BE SOME STRICT RULES TO BIND AIRLINES THAT OPERATE IN OUR AIR SPACE,I WOULD ADVISE.

During my last visit to Ghana in November 2013, I travelled on one of the local air lines (planes) and I was very shocked to notice that the tyres had worn out beyond recognition and I am not sure if the authorities were taking safety of these planes seriously and how the lives of passengers were treated as a set of gambling/ snooker balls. The tyres were completely worn out to the point that I even drew the attention of my co passengers who said he knew little about planes. I think the authorities must carry out very regular checks after each flight as it is done here in the UK. we must not wait until any happen which is a very common practice in Ghana. Lives are replaceable, and we must act now.

Air disasters in Afica usually starts this way. For example i was in Sierra Leone when the helicopter crashed and killed the Togolese football fans and some officials and even the crew of the aircraft that brought the players from Togo. This very helicopter had an engine fire twice, one at the Freetown airport and another at the Abardeen helipad. Because of these two fire incidences the company was banned from flying and asked to go for safety check. Just after one or two weeks the banned was lifted by the then Minister incharged of transport and the helicopters started flying again and only to crashed and killed the Togolese fans just 30 days after the banned was lifted.
